Estel slept, though not peacefully. He could hear the orcs, though he did not understand what they are saying.
He could feel their filthy hands on him, but tried not to open his eyes, not wishing to look at their faces.
“I say we should eat him.” One of the orcs said, his hand gripping the boy’s shoulder tightly.
Estel tried to bear the pain, but with no success. He opened his eyes, and from his mouth a scream rang out.
Crack
His shoulder popped from its place and in that moment, the boy lost consciousness, and let the darkness engulf him.

King Thranduil and Elrohir tracked the trail that the orcs left, but still there was no sign.
“They are ahead of us,” Elrohir sighed heavily, “I hope Estel is all right…”
“We will gaining at them, young one.” Thranduil assures to him with encourage voice.
“I know.” Elrohir whispered, but his mind had other thought.
Thranduil noticed how the light seemed to be fading from the elf’s eyes and asked, “What is it, Elrohir?”
“I still fear that I am going to lose him.” Elrohir replied, not meeting the king’s gaze.
“Tell me about him.” Thranduil asked, and moved his horse closer to Elrohir.
Elrohir swallowed the lump in his throat, and then he spoke.
Flashback
Elladan and Elrohir watched from the balcony as the boy jumped around, making the lords crazy by his play. They were helpless, as the boy seemed gifted with lots of energy
“He is going to be the death of me.” Elrond mumbled, as he tried to catch the boy.
The twins heard their Adar, and went to his side.
“Ada, Estel is a good child, why should he be your death?” Elladan asked, hiding his smile from his Adar.
“I know that, but did you see how much energy he has?” the lord asked, as his eyes locked on the running child.
“We both see it, Adar. He is the only one that can make us tired, but he will not be the death of us, we love him.” The twins spoke in unison, and then parted, as Elrohir ran to catch his brother.
Elrond stared at the chase in front of him, and smiled as Estel giggled and teased Elrohir that he will not catch him.
“Estel loves to play…” Elladan suddenly said, and then left to catch the boy too.
Elrond smiled and then walked to the balcony, and entered the house. He went to the kitchen and asked the maid to prepare a lunch for his sons; he had a feeling that they would need it.
Then the lord left the house, heading outside to find his sons on the ground, tickling the boy in his ribs, and Estel cried and begged them to stop, laughing till tears came to his eyes.
The twins laughed too, hearing Estel’s giggles filled their heart with light and deep love for the boy that filled their life with hope.
“Lunch is ready!” Elrond announced and watched as the boy struggled to get away from them.
“Oh, no you do not, little brother, I am going first…” Elrond teased Estel, and kept tickling him.
Estel giggled and slipped away from his brother’s hands and passed his Adar, as he ran to the house.
Elrohir hurried after the boy, and heard his Adar’s words, “Clean him first, and then eat.”
“Come, little brother,” Elrohir caught the boy, and taking him to the river first, “Let’s wash the dirt from you, and maybe have some fun with the water.”
Estel giggled and once they entered the river, the boy splashed water over Elrohir, and Elrohir fought back, laughing at the boy.
“They will be the death of me.” Elrond said, as he walked to the river, but was a far from it, not wanting them to get him wet.
“They? Then I am safe” Elladan smiled at him, and walked toward the house, and called to his brothers, as he teased them, “It seems that I will go first to lunch, little brothers.”
End of Flashback
Thranduil smiled and understood, as he remembered his son as they played together and his heart lightened as he watched Greenleaf smile.
“What games do you play with him? Estel sounds like he has a free spirit.” Thranduil asked, and thought that maybe he could distract Elrohir while they would trying to find the boy.
“He indeed has a free spirit, and he is the one that teaches us his games, while we should do chores, but Ada understands, and lets us play with him.” Elrohir replied.
“I believed that your Adar enjoyed every moment of it.”
A scream. Cold blood scream, as the birds fly over their heads.
“Estel…” Elrohir said with fear, as he prayed for the Valar to keep his little brother safe.
“Come, mellon-nin, let us find your little brother, and bring him back safe.” Thranduil said to him, as he led the group toward the noise.
Elrohir hurried his horse after the king, and truly hoped that Estel was all right.

Back to the healer’s room…
Elladan could feel the pain easily going away. He rubbed his head slightly, and then he stared at his Adar, noticing how Greenleaf looked so pale.
“Ada?” Elladan asked.
Elrond hurried to his son’s side, and asked him, “How are you doing, ion-nin?”
“The headache is gone…” Elladan replied, his eyes still locked on the elfling form, and he asked his Adar with concerned, “How is Legolas?”
Elrond sighed heavily, and replied to his son, “Not good, and I hope that I can save him.”
“Ada,” Elladan said, and corrected him, “There is no I, we will save him.”
“Are you certain that you are all right, ion?” Elrond asked.
“I am, Adar, the pain is over.” Elladan sat on the bed, and then tried to stand up, only find vertigo hit him, Elrond was there to catch him from falling.
“Rest, ion, after you will have some food in you, then you will help me.” Elrond suggested.
Elladan nodded, as he was agree with his Adar’s suggestion, he was indeed very hungry.
