so, I just realized that I did NOT put Andro and Hadereth as OC's, but obviously that is what they are lol...In honor of my friend Glewiel telling off a fake Tolkien fan on facebook, this chapter is about her favorite elf: ELROND!
CHAPTER 11
Elrond and Celeborn found themselves sitting in a darkened room across from two other elves. Elrond saw that Celeborn's head was lowered.
" Celeborn?"
Celeborn did not move.
" Yes?"
Elrond swallowed hard, asking the question that he knew he did not want the answer to.
" What did Brethiel's Ada do to you?"
Celeborn shook his head violently.
" Do not ask me this, Elrond."
Before Elrond could reply, another voice answered.
" Oh come now, Celeborn. He is your former law son. You should tell him."
Celeborn's eyes widened. He raised his head and nearly cried. There, in front of him stood Baethoriel.
" What's the matter my poor, sweet Celeborn? Did you think I had sailed?"
Celeborn nodded silently, listening to Baethoriel's explanation.
" No, my love. I did not. I hid in the shadows. Everyone, even my son, thought I had gone. I bumped into Lords Andro and Hadereth as they were bringing the two of you here. I have joined with them. The pain, the suffering your beloved has suffered at the hands of my son, will be nothing compared to what Lord Andro has planned for Lord Elrond."
" Ada?"
Baethoriel grinned as her saw his son with two other elves.
" Brethiel, you brought me a present."
Brethiel chuckled evilly.
" I have had them both Ada."
Baethoriel seemingly looked over both Erestor and Haldir. Suddenly, Baethoriel grabbed Erestor. Upon seeing the fear in Elrond's eyes, he smiled.
" Here is how this will go: if Erestor gives himself to us willingly, you may all go."
