Part 5

"You have been very disobedient your highness!" He taunted standing over Legolas' beaten form. They seemed to be in some fort of dungeon, it was not but stone wall and stone floor Legolas also noticed there were no windows making the room completely dark. It was also very cold. "But my father told me I was… doing… better in… my studies." The young prince said though uneven breathes. "Your father lied!" "NO THAT'S… NOT… TRUE!" "But it is young Legolas it is." "No I will not… believe it… you… are the…liar." Finarato smiled this boy wasn't has hard to brake as he thought.

"It matters not if you believe me or not Legolas, for no matter what you believe this is where you will remain until you die. Which will be long and painful a wood elf can not live without the stars and moon, you will but fade into a mere memory. If your father truly cares he would spare you this but it seems he does not." "He… will… come!"

"Believe what you will, but until then welcome to your new home dear prince!" he taunted evilly as he slammed the dungeon door shut. Legolas shivered in the cold as he retreated over to the corner of the cell trying to find some kind of warmth, trying to find some sort of light.

"King Thranduil, King Tranduil!" yelled the three children as the burst into the kings study chambers. "I am sorry my lord they just barged in." "It is alright Golgadrad you can leave; I wish to hear what my sons friends have to say." "As you wish your highness." The head guard complied leaving the room.

"Now what is it young ones?" "There is something very wrong with Finarato, he is ordering Legolas around he just made Legolas go with him when you told him to play. He said they must have their lesson today." Nienna explained quickly.

"What do you mean by lesson?" The king asked the worry and concern evident in his voice; he had noticed the change in Finarato since the last big battle 200 years ago. But he passed it off simply as grief for the loss of his youngest son, now he worried that his grief has led to anger and hatred.

"We know not of what he meant, we thought you would already know. But King Thranduil I have seen bruises on Legolas at the time I thought it was only from him wrestling with his brother, but now I fear Finarato is hurting him." Amroth said bluntly, it was strange to see so much wisdom in one so young but he would wonder about that later right now he must find his son.

"Golgadrad!" He called out and the guard enter the room. "Yes my lord?" he asked as Lessien and Elu also entered. "I want you to gather your most trusted men and search for my son and Finarato. I fear the prince is in danger." They all looked at him confused.

"But sire the prince is in this room." "Not Elu, Legolas I fear Finarato has been abusing him and has now been kidnapped from this household." Golgadrad's mind was suddenly reminded of the king's youngest son. "We will start the search right away sir."

"Elrosse!" he called and his most trusted and loyal servant came in. "Yes sir?" "Bring these young ones home, I do not wish them to go alone." "But your highness we wish to help, Legolas is our friend." Thranduil kneeled down to Maeglins level and looked the heart broken elfling straight in the eye. "Maeglin I know Legolas is your friend and I know you all wish to help, but you have as much as you can by coming and telling me what you know and that has helped a lot." "But it did not save Legolas." "I may have Amroth it may have." The three smiled sadly then left with Elrosse.

"Thranduil what in the name of valar is going on? What has happened to Legolas?" "Lessien, meleth-nin you better sit down." Lessien sat down as Thranduil told her and their oldest son what has happened.

Lessien was now crying and Elu was staring in disbelief. "Would you like me to join the search adar?" "No ion-nin I will not risk losing both sons, stay here and protect you mother." "Yes sir." Elu knew better then to argue with his father about this no matter how much he wanted his little brother back. "I will stay until Elrosse gets back then I will join the search." Thranduil said as he hugged what was left of their family.

In the cell Legolas shivered in the darkness, he didn't know how long he's been down there but it seemed like it has been an eternity. He longed to be out under the shining stars and the friendly moon. He could feel himself getting weaker each passing second.

He heard the door creak loudly and his blood run colder then it already was. He didn't even have to look up, he knew who it was. "Well it has been four days my dear prince I guess your father really doesn't care." Legolas didn't even try to retort this time but instead started to softly weep.

"What is this?" he taunted brushing the young elf's cheek. "Tears? Tears are for children Legolas they should not be shed by your eyes." Legolas quickly tried stop them not wanting to upset the older elf standing over him, but they wouldn't stop coming. "Legolas, Legolas you are such a slow learner no wonder why your father thinks you such a disappointment." He spat out as he back handed the prince making his lip bleed, then he left leaving Legolas all alone once again.

"Any sign of Legolas?" Thranduil asked it had been four days since they had both gone missing and not a trace of where they were was found. "No my lord I'm sorry." Replied a very weary Golgodrad. "It is not your fault mellon-nin, go rest you very much need it." "Nah I am fine but you sire do need rest, you have not slept at all these past four days." "I could not sleep if I tried Golgadrad, I am too worried for my son, and even Elu seems not to be himself. My family is falling apart before my eyes."

"Do not worry your highness we will find him, my son will not accept it if we don't." said Maeglon walking up to them. "Thank you both for not giving up for there is one more place we haven't tried." "Where my lord?" questioned the two warriors.

"The underground dungeons." "Those have been blocked for many winters. Why would Finarato bring him there?" "Because he knows it is the last place anyone will suspect." "We will be in the search straight away!" excitement flared through the guards at the thought that they may actually know where the prince resides, they just hoped they weren't too late.
