Hadereth in love with Elrond...hmmm...

CHAPTER 12

Elladan's eyes widened.

" Ada?"

Elrohir nodded. Elladan shook his head.

" But Ada has Naneth."

Elrohir sat down in a chair close to Erestor.

" Their marriage is only for political reasons, isn't it Erestor?"

Erestor nodded slowly, then widened his eyes in fear.

" If his eye has fallen on your Ada, that is not good. Your Ada is in danger."

Elrohir lowered his head. Glorfindel put a hand on his beloved's shoulder, then looked at Erestor.

" Is there any way to prevent Hadereth from harming Elrond?"

Erestor looked away from the three elves. There was only one way to do it, but no one would be happy with his answer. In order for him to save Elrond, he would have to betray not only him but Elladan as well. Erestor felt a hand on his cheek.

" Meleth?"

Erestor turned to look at Elladan.

" Forgive me."

Elladan raised an eyebrow.

" For what?"

Erestor felt tears rise in his eyes as he forced himself to say the words he had never wanted.

" In order to keep Elrond safe, I must return to Hadereth's side."
