I'm baa-ack! New chapter just for you! Sorry it took so long! I was going
to update the weekend before the weekend before last weekend, but then I
couldn't get on the computer because I was sick all weekend and stuff. I
couldn't update Halloween weekend because I was at my dad's house and I
didn't have any of my files with me. I couldn't update last weekend
because I was at my dads again and so on. I also didn't update because of
all me other stories. I realize I may be losing readers with my slow
updates so I just hope that you can bear with me and keep reading! I
apologize!

You people make me feel special because you would review my story out of the other thousands *gets all teary eyed* er...dang it! I am NOT crying. The Sun was just too bright. *Irish QT's army of 6 inch Dwarves walk in and point out that it is 12:54 in the morning.* Er. Right.

Fine! I said it!

At seeing the sky and sun, Legolas blinked a few more times to make sure this wasn't a dream. Then he realized someone was holding him. He painfully turned his head upwards to see who it was. At seeing his father's face, he asked, "Mani Marte?" still not completely awake. Thranduil looked down at his son and answered, "We are escaping, my little Greenleaf." Legolas nodded, not really comprehending. His eyes held a dazed look, and he quickly fell back into unconsciousness. Thranduil moved Legolas into a more comfortable position and said, "Let us get out of this wretched place." Elrond nodded and they quickly made for Rivendell.
The day was clear and bright, even if a little brisk. There were few clouds in the sky, and birds flitted around chirping loudly. The ground was rocky and there were few plants, or anything green for that matter. The group of Elves moved quickly as far away form the cave as possible. They were worried about Legolas. His fever was rising higher and higher as he drifted in and out of consciousness. He seemed to be having nightmares when he was asleep, but when he was awake, his pain caused him to feel as though living was a nightmare also. They had traveled considerably far by the time night fell over Middle Earth, taking into consideration that they had been carrying Legolas and they were on foot. They stopped by the side of a clear, cold stream.
They set up camp and got a fire going. One of the elves got some water and set it to a boil. After the water was hot, Elrond picked up his pouch of Athelas and placed some in the water. Then he took some out and prepared to put it on Legolas' wounds, but when he pulled off the tunic, he and Thranduil gasped at the sight they saw. There were so many wounds Elrond didn't even have enough of the healing herb to put on half of his wounds. Legolas was slowly drifting away from life. They feared he might not last the night, and though they did not know it at the time, if it had not been for Elrond's healing skills, Legolas would have died that night. However, no matter how great the Elf Lord's healing skills were, there was not enough to save him without all of his herbs and healing items he had in Imladris. They needed to get Legolas there as quick as possible.
Before the Sun rose the next morning, the Elves were on their way to Rivendell. Around midday, when the sun was high and beating down upon them, and they were but a few minutes away from Imladris and began to dare to hope, they heard loud hoof beats heading towards them.
Suddenly the rider came into view upon a great roan stallion. They saw an elf sitting atop the great mount. As he came a bit closer, they saw that it was Ithil. He rode up and said "Thank the Valar you are alive." Then he looked down and saw Legolas' unconscious form in his father's arms. "Mani marte na din?" Thranduil replied, "Saruman. If—when Legolas gets better, he will have to tell us the whole story. For the moment his chances are slim; we need to get him inside Imladris where Elrond can fully help him." As he was saying this, they arrived at the gates of Rivendell. The guards opened the door while looking at the unconscious form in the Kings arms.
Elrond said, "I need to help him as soon as possible. Thranduil, I need to take Legolas now." Thranduil looked down at the unconscious form of his son and reluctantly gave him to Elrond gently. Elrond hurried away and Thranduil finally tore his gaze from the retreating elf. He looked at his other, much healthier son, who looked as though he just ate Orc blood. (A/N: even though it may be a delicacy with Dwarves (in Fangorn...when Gimli eats it, and yes I know he doesn't really that's just a joke between me and my friends,) Elves don't exactly eat it for dessert. That was for my friend, Mari. Lol, Gim; Strawberry flavor!)
Ithil felt sick. "If he dies it will be entirely my fault! I should never have left him father! He might still be alive if it weren't for me!" Thranduil turned sharply to his son and said, "Your brother still lives, does he not? There is always hope!" Ithil looked surprised at the sudden change of demeanor in his father though he did not make anymore comments.
Thranduil hoped he sounded convincing because, he himself, felt there was no more hope, though he did not blame Ithil for Legolas' obvious torture. He blamed himself. 'I should have never let them go alone! Maybe if I had sent guards with them, none of this would have happened to Legolas!' Then he castigated himself for being such a hypocrite, 'I tell Ithil that there is hope, yet I do not believe it myself! What kind of father am I? If I ever meet Saruman again, he is going to wish he had never been born!' Aloud he said: "Come Ithil, let us see if we can be of any help to Elrond. A vala Manwe Legolas baro..."
They arrived to see Elrond acrimoniously crying over Legolas. Thranduil quickly went over and said "Elrond, mani marte? Nar le mae?" Elrond looked up and said "Thranduil, we did not even see the extent of his wounds last night! I have seen him injured here before with Estel and the Twins, but this? This is inconceivable! If I ever see Saruman again, he will die!" His voice was laced with bitterness. "Though that would be of no help to Legolas...He has been poisoned. Somehow...we need someone to call him back to the light of this world before he leaves us forever."
To Legolas it was a world of nightmares and dreams as he drifted in and out of consciousness. He foggily saw the dark shapes of his friends and family and heard somehow as they wept all about him. He was aware of the pain, though he couldn't associate why he was feeling it. He saw his world grow darker and darker as he faded away. Then, he heard someone distantly calling him back to the light.
Ithil stood over Legolas and called him back. "Legolas it is me, Ithil; you brother...you cannot leave me here all alone! Never lose hope nin muindor...you have held on this long...you have survived all you have been through...you can't give up now! Come back to us, we need you!" Ithil was just about to give up when suddenly Legolas weakly opened his eyes, though they remained unfocused and glazed. He looked as though he was trying to say something, but he did not have the strength. His father stood over him and said, "Hush, Legolas. Idh. You need sleep and you need to fight the darkness that is holding onto you. Rest." Legolas looked as though he still wanted to say something, but Thranduil began stroking his forehead and whispering soft words to him in elvish. Legolas quickly fell asleep and his fever began to diminish, yet it still remained higher than it should be.
Ithil would not leave his side until finally Elrond and Thranduil ordered him to get some sleep. Then the same happened with Thranduil who put up a large fight until he finally conceded to get some sleep.
Sometime in the following days while Elrond was in the room watching over Legolas, he heard a racket going on in the hallway. He hurried outside to see who it was that would be making such a noise. As soon as he stepped outside of the room he saw a sight. Elladan, Elrohir, and Estel were all loudly arguing with Erestor, the family adviser.
"But you are hurt! You must go to get help!" Erestor was saying.
"Please! Its just a few minor cuts and—" Suddenly he was interrupted as Elrond burst into the conversation. "It will be up to me whether you have only 'a few minor cuts' or not."
Suddenly all three of the 'elves' saw him and cried "Adar!" Elrond was grabbed up in a hug and he commented, "Really, is it your goal to ruin all of my robes?"
Then another voice entered the conversation "I'm sorry am I interrupting something?" Elladan and Elrohir both turned around and simultaneously said "Ithil!" Ithil merely remarked, "What were you expecting? A dancing dwarf?" Then he said, "It's good to see you again! Who is your friend?" Elladan and Elrohir both grabbed Ithil in a hug and said, "Ah, yes that is Estel, 'the human.'" Estel made a face and said: "Gee thanks, you two are a load of help." Ithil stepped up and held out his hand "It's nice to finally meet you, Estel. Legolas has told me much about you."
Then Elladan said, "That's right, where is Legolas?" A shadow passed over both Ithil's and Elrond's faces, and immediately Estel, Elladan, and Elrohir knew something was wrong. "What happened?" Estel asked urgently. Everyone knew the human and the elf had made a special bond when they first met. Then he repeated Elladan's question, "Where is he?" Ithil did not say anything so Elrond answered for him. "He is in the healing room" he pointed to the door he just came out of. Estel didn't budge; "Why? What happened?" Elrond breathed heavily and responded "He was captured...by Saruman...that is all I can tell you." Estel hurried to the room his foster father had pointed at and stepped inside.
He saw Legolas' father sitting beside the bed, looking dejectedly down at his son, who was lying there tossing and turning; he was covered in a sheen of sweat. Thranduil turned to see who was here and saw the human. "Estel...I trust you are here to see my son?" The ranger nodded and carefully stepped towards the bed. The first thing he saw was Legolas had his eyes closed and that alone made him fear for his friend. The only other time Estel had seen Legolas with his eyes closed was when he had been badly injured after their 'incident'.
He stood next to the bed and softly said: "Legolas? Answer me! It is me, Estel! Legolas? Please wake up!" However, the figure on the bed did no more than stir a bit and whimper softly. After he did this the twins came in, still just as wounded as they were before. Even Estel was wounded, though they paid little heed, seeing as how he always seemed to be hurt in some way or another.
The twins came over to Legolas' side and whispered softly to him in elvish. No one could distinguish what they said, even the elves couldn't with their sharp hearing. But immediately after they did this Legolas stirred again and turned over weakly to his back. He opened his eyes again and said "Elladan? Elrohir? I dreamed Estel was here also. And my father and my brother." He said all this as though it was still a dream and none of this was really happening.
Thranduil, hearing Legolas speak, rushed over to him and said "Legolas. 'Tis real. Not a dream. I am really here. So are your brother and Estel. You are free! Saruman will never hurt you again! (A/N: Lady Lenna are you happy now? He is free and his father just told him that Saruman will never hurt him again......I mean sure.....since I am the author I could easily just suddenly make Legolas appear at Orthanc and get tortured again....it all comes down to what a man can do and what a man can't do....but in any case....Elrond and Thranduil and Ithil and Estel and the twins and...etc, all want to kill Saruman soooo...)
Legolas dazedly looked up, though he seemed to be in much better health than he had been the past few days. "Adar?" Thranduil replied "Aye, ion nin? I am here for you." Seeing that Thranduil obviously wanted to be left alone with Legolas the others left quietly. Legolas said "Ada...I was so afraid I would never see you again......or Ithil...or even the light of day! All I could think about was Ithil's last words to me 'never to lose hope'.....but, Ada, it was so hard...I couldn't keep hope...every day was the same routine. Every day the beasts would come back for me...every night I dreamed about it..." Though Legolas tried to hold them back, the tears began flowing out of his silver-sapphire eyes down his cheeks. Thranduil held Legolas close to him and said, "Its ok, my little Greenleaf; you are safe now! He won't hurt you again. Shh.....its ok, its ok." Legolas buried his head in his fathers shoulder and by the time he stopped crying, the King's sleeve was soaked. He pulled his head away and said "I love you, Ada." Thranduil once again held Legolas close and said "I love you too, Legolas."
They stayed this way for some time until finally they broke apart at a knocking at the door.

Gimli: Thank you! See, Dark Angel! Legolas is mine! BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HACHOO! *shakes head* wow. That was a real doozy. (did you know that 'wow' spelled backwards is 'wow'?) wow. Pretty cool, No?
This sucks: Sorry you feel that way. Might want to watch the language though. And how do you know I am not in 1st grade right now? I could be for all you know. Hope that maybe you change your mind someday. I would appreciate if you did not insult my reviewers, however. You may destroy my story and I all you want, but do NOT EVER be rude in any way, shape, or form to my reviewers AGAIN! Is that clear?
Elessara: What can I say to my dear friend the Acorn King? Dina! Lol, jk. Yes Aragorn is cool. But Legolas is more fun to torture. Oh hee hee that's funn-ee! Saavy?
Lainfaer: Oh I really like your name! Er, sorry about the cliffy. But King Thranduil did get his son back like you said! So that counts doesn't it? Or not...
Hmmm........I feel like singing. Hope you all had a great Halloween (Even though it was like three weeks ago) and got lots of candy! Yum. Cheesecake. Please review!
