Well… it took a long time but here is the next chapter. Please read and review.

Chapter 4

Elladan heard a groan.

'What happened this time?' He asked annoyed.

'I'm hungry.' Megildar complained.

Elladan sighed bored. Since they were here Megildar was peskier than ever before. When they traveled he was too tired to drivel that much. Since the visit of the leader they were left alone in the hole - though they weren't really alone. If Elladan listened carefully he heard the whispering of the guards near them and he tried to catch some information but they were very reticent. They just talked if they took turns or someone came to bring them food. Elladan had started to search for a sharp thing. Carefully he tried to turn a little bit, just to catch a stone, slowly moving back to his original position. The stone was small and he knew that it would take a long time if he tried to sever the rope with it. It was not only the fact that it was very thick but also the rope was so strong that every move of the hands cut deeper into his skin - but it was a try after all.

'I'm still hungry.' Megildar moaned.

'Shut up' Elladan said in a way that allowed no 'but'.

There was some commotion at the entrance.

'He said that he wants to start with it now. We should bring him the boy.'

'But we have the order that no one takes them out of here and…'

'Do you want to oppose against the new order of Arkin?!?' the other said challenging.

There was silence again and then three or five men came in and took Elladan out of the small hole.

'What's going on? Elladan?... Elladan!' Megildar shouted in fear.

'Shut up or do you want me to cut off your tongue?!' a man said grapping the hair of Megildar and pulling his head backwards. Immediately he clenched his teeth and turned the head, as much as the grip of the man admitted it, to signal a 'no'.

'There you are! It works.' the man said sarcasm and gone of Megildar's head.

'What are we going to do next?'

'We got a message from your father. He will come too. He's already on the way. We'll wait for him and then we decide what to do next- don't contradict.' Haldir added seeing that Elrohir wanted to protest. They were on the way back to the heart of Lorien.

'But perhaps it will be too late when ada arrives. We don't know what they want or do you know anything else?' Elrohir suddenly stopped and stared at Haldir.

'I do not have the right to tell you. You should ask your father.' Haldir said while he went on.

'You cannot be serious! Why shouldn't you tell me?!?- Haldir!' Elrohir shouted for Haldir still standing on the place he stopped but Haldir went on.

'Haldir. Wait!' Elrohir started to run after him.

Elladan tried to remember the way they took him. They hadn't removed the bandage of his feet and so they dragged him more along the tunnels than he could walk. In the end they stopped and brought him into a standing position. Then they took off the bandage of his eyes.

He was standing in a great hall. In front of him stood some kind of throne. There was a long table and some torches gave scanty light.

'Now the time is come for my revenge. Your father will have to feel the same pain like me twenty years ago.' the man who Elladan could identify as the leader of the black dressed men took a step out of the shadow.

'What do you mean by revenge? My father did never something what hurt others if he hadn't a reason to do. In the last years he just fought against orcs.'

'HE HURT ME- GOT IT? You don't know what pain I had to go through because of your father. I think he never told you because he knows that he failed. It was because of his inability that my daughter died. He let her die just like that.' .There was a little bit of sorrow in his voice but it was covered with the hate that he had against Elrohir so that it was barely to hear. He came very close to Elladan and stopped quite in front of him.

'I want to see him suffer just lie I did!'

With these words he rammed the fist in Ellandan's stomach. Elladan felt backwards. He writhed with the sudden pain but he didn't utter a sound. The man came already closer again and Elladan noticed a small needle in the hand of him. He tried to crawl but he knocked against the feet of the men who took him here. When he looked up they smirked and pulled him up.

'My father will find me.' Elladan said calmly.

'We'll see.' the dark voice said derisive. He picked the needle in the elf's arm and whispered 'nice dreams' when Ellandan's head was spinning. With a sign he gave the men to understand that they could take Elladan away. They dragged him along endless tunnels. Elladan just wanted to lie anywhere. He felt ill and he wasn't able to form an idea. Finally they were in the small hole again where Megildar still lay whimpering quiet. When he realized that they left them alone he asked 'Elladan? What's up? What had they done to you? What did they want?' but he got no answer.

'Sorry Megildar. I can't. Everything seems so heavy. I can't even open my eyes. I just want to sleep…' with that thought he fell to a troubled sleep.
