CHAPTER 10

Erestor and Haldir sat in Lord Celeborn's talan. It had been awhile since Celeborn and Elrond had left. Erestor turned to Haldir, who was sitting beside him on the bed.

" You love Lord Celeborn, do you not?"

Haldir nodded slowly.

" I know he is wed, but I cannot help it."

Erestor nodded, then smiled.

" He has broken his vows with Lady Galadriel. She has found her true mate of soul."

Haldir smiled.

" I wish I could be Lord Celeborn's mate of..."

Haldir was cut off when someone barged into the talan. Erestor's eyes widened. He stood and pulled Haldir behind him.

" What is the meaning of this Brethiel?"

Brethiel grinned.

" I have been sent to bring you to Lords Celeborn and Elrond."

" What have you done to them?" Haldir cried.

Brethiel chuckled, then smirked.

" Nothing yet, my sweet Haldir."

Haldir cringed at the sentiment. Erestor eyed Brethiel warily.

" Where are they?"

Brethiel smiled at the two fearful elves before him.

" With Lords Andro and Hadereth."

Erestor felt sick to his stomach. Haldir noticed this and stood in front of him.

" Why do they have our Lords?"

Brethiel let out a dry humorless laugh.

" If you truly wish to know, you will follow me. Otherwise, Lord Elrond will be having a lot of trouble walking tomorrow."
