~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Elrond sat there beside the Erestor's bed,carefully watching the sleeping figure of his councilor.Servant came back and brought with him the calming potion.Elrond ordered the same servant to fetch Glorfindel,so he could have a little talk with the Balrog slayer.(I hope that Glorfindel won't be so stubborn and ignore my orders this time.)Elrond thought about the ways to make this situation better.He didn't know all the facts about what happened today,but hopefully Huor would fill him in on the rest,soon. Erestor mumbled something in his sleep as the tortured dreams invaded him.Elrond decided to give the Erestor the calming potion,because he knew that Glorfindel would be here soon,and he didn't want for Erestor to get so upset again.He poured some of the potion on the teaspoon and brought it to the others lips.

"Erestor wake up.You need to take this" Erestor's eyes came to awareness and he did what his lord had told him.He swallowed the bitter potion,and soon after that he resumed with the sleep.Elrond sighed and he moved himself to the window.He knew that the morning will soon become the noon,and he felt that this day will be longest day in his life.Thock ock on the door pulled him from his thoughts.

"Come in"Elrond said expecting Glorfindel to show up at the door,but it was only Huor.

"My lord.How fares he."Huor whispered as he came to his friends bed.

"He is mostly sleeping but that is a good thing.He is trying to avoid the pain that is crushing him right now.Tell me.How did your talk with Valandil go."

"Interesting,my lord.It was very interesting."Huor grinned as he thought about the tied youth that was now on his bed.

"Oh,NO.I know that grin on your face,very well.You didn't hurt him.Did you?"

"No,I didn't.But he deserves it,nonetheless.How did you found out about Valandil,anyways?"

"Erestor told me some bits and pieces about the things that happened.But there is something that I cannot figure out.Why does he despair so much?It almost seems to me like he harbors strong feelings for the Glorfindel,but I am not so sure.Am I right to assume this,maybe you know Huor.Please tell me."

"Ummm...my lord .Why do you think that I know everything?"Huor said with small smile on his face.

"Huor,you are the only councilor that knows everything that is happening in and around Imladris.Plus you promised that you will tell me all about this madness that happened earlier today.So start talking"

"All right,my lord.But this thing that I am gonna tell you is the secret.So keep it shhhh..between us."Huor whispered as he turned around to check if Erestor is still sleeping.

"I will,I swear."Elrond whispered too, as he waited for the other to share some information.

"My lord you've guessed right.Erestor indeed harbors feelings for Glorfindel,and he harbored them for about a century,in secret and silence."

"That long,Valar.But how did you found out then,if it was a secret.He didn't tell you,did he."Elrond wondered how his counselor knew details about everybody's life.

"No he didn't.I found out accidentally,but it is personal thing which I won't get into right now.Anyways,when I had found out I tried to convince him to admit his feelings.He is so shy when it comes to courting or seduction.But today something happened which I had not expected from him.He let himself go,and he was seduced by the Valandil,paying the bitter price for it as you now see."

"Everything makes sense now.I am not judging Erestor and now I understand where all this pain comes from,but this misunderstanding between Glorfindel and Erestor must stop.That is why I told the servant to fetch Glorfindel.I hope that he will hurry and arrive soon."

"What? My lord you know that I respect you decisions and you are very wise beyond any words.But I have to ask you one question.Are you out of your mind? That is the last thing that Erestor needs now."

"You are wrong,my friend.They need to talk about it in a reasonable way.They are friends and they can't let all of this come between them.Don't worry about Erestor welfare.I gave him some of the potion,and he should be alright."

"But...Huor stopped as he heard the knock on the door.

"Come in"was Elrond's reply,but Huor harshly said "Go away".Elrond shot the threatening look at his advisor as he arched the eyebrow.

Glorfindel peeked inside the room,seeing the sleeping figure on the bed he whispered.

"My lord,the servant said that you need to talk to me.Can we do this outside of the Erestor's chambers."

"NO,come in and close the door."Elrond said as he took the seat.

"But ,my lord...."

"Glorfindel that is an order."Elrond cut the other elf with an determinable tone. Glorfindel looked defeated as he got inside,and he quietly closed the door behind him.He looked at the bed once again,but it had surprised him what he saw in there. Erestor looked so different with the red teary eyes,and Glorfindel felt guilty for the outburst that had happened earlier today.(Maybe I should apologize and let this all go.No..I can't... he betrayed my trust and he lied to me.I can't forgive that,so easily.Why did Erestor have to pick Valandil for a lover,and why not me.)that last thought shocked him and he hit himself mentally.(What am I thinking.Am I jealous of Valandil.That can't be,but why do I feel so rejected then)

"Glorfindel....",the sudden voice pulled him over and he looked at the Elrond.

"Huh"

"Glorfindel,I asked you to take the seat" Glorfindel did as he was told and took the seat on the chair which was located across the Elrond.

"Glorfindel,I know what happened today and I called yere ere so you can give Erestor the chance to explain himself and for you to consider all the facts.There is much of it hidden that you don't know about,and your eyes need to see the truth."

"Oh,I saw the truth today my lord,and it was enough for me."

"Glorfindel you and Erestor have been friends for long time.This shouldn't come between you two."

"What would you do on my place? Would you be so forgiving if somebody was betraying you this way,and was doing it with your wife behind your back.Don't advise me on things you don't understand."Glorfindel said harshly,surprising the Elrond.Glorfindel was never rude to his lord and this was something new for him,and he felt ashamed because he acted that way.Huor just stood there with mouth open in shock as he took it all in.It made him mad that Glorfindel was so disrespectful and he mumbled the word"you stinky orc"for other to hear.

"Huor,do you need to say something.Don't be a coward and say it at loud,or I advise you to keep your mouth shut"Glorfindel regarded the other with angry eyes as he came close to him.

"You bumbling idiot,I am not afraid of you..." Huor gazed at the elder with anger on his face.

"ENOUGH!,Elrond yelled,not aware that Erestor was just waking up.

"This has gone to far..."

"I agree my lord."Erestor said from his bed as the three pairs of the surprised eyes turned to him. "Glorfindel I now that you are angry at me,but don't take your fury out on them.Why did you come here,anyway.Do you need to talk."

"NO,I am finished with you,but Lord Elrond ordered me to come here and have some kind of reasonable talk with you.Like that would change anything now."Glorfindel smirked.

"Oh I see.Well if we are finished ,then just go away.I don't wanna see you ever again either.You told me some things this morning that had hurt me,and they made me feel as a dirt.Please go away."

"I made you feel as an dirt,I made you feel as an dirt"He repeated."What about me and my feelings.You deserved every word I told you,and you can fell lucky that I didn't kill you." Elrond and Huor stood there listening to this ridiculous fight.Elrond felt like he would get a headache any minute now,as he listened to this scene before him.Huor met his lords eyes as he tsked with 'I told you' expression on his face.

"You wanted to kill me.Well try, you won't get so far.I already feel dead."Erestor raised himself and stood across the Glorfindel,as he continued to defend himself.

"Don't try that on me,Erestor.I don't have any compassion for you left,and I hate you more now than any enemy I encountered so far in this life"Glorfindel clenched his fists as the loathsome expression graced his face.

"Not as much as I hate you.You know what,I am glad I screwed your lover.At least his ass was fun,not like yours."Erestor grinned as he tried to hurt the other with the words.He saw the furious expression in the others eyes and suddenly he felt painful blow on his face. Huor jumped in front of them,pushing Glorfindel away from Erestor.

"Glorfindel what are you doing.What came over you."Elrond yelled as he checked injury on the Erestor's face.The nose was broken and he needed to take the councilor to the healing room. Erestor couldn't believe what just happened to him.Glorfindel,his friend,the person he had loved, had just hit him.He deserved this but still it was something he would never do to the other,no matter how big was his hate.

"I...Glorfindel couldn't finish his sentence and he lowered is head in shame.Huor wanted to kill him but he just stood there with fury on his face.He saw that the other had regretted what he had done,and he decided not to chide him for it.

"Erestor,we must go to healing room.I need to fix your nose,and give you some herbs to stop the slight bleeding.Glorfindel,you can go now,but when you feel more collected than we will talk.Huor can you do me a favor.Please find Elladan and tell him that I need to talk to him tonight"

"Yes,my lord"Both of them said at the same time,as Elrond took Erestor out of his room.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The night approached Imladris fast,as the torches were lit and elves settled inside of their homes.One tied up figure dreaded this coming part of the day,as he struggled against his bounds and mumbled for help, with no reply as the each hour passed. His heart sped up every time he heard someone passing by the door,praying that his future tormentor wouldn't come.His prays were not answered as he heard somebody unlocking the door and the figure coming inside.

(OH,NO...He is here)He thought as his struggles became fierce. "Ummm...pet,what are you doing.You know you can't escape me,and when this night is finished you will beg me to stay." Huor said teasingly as he lay some objects on his bedside table. Valandil looked him with hate in his eyes,and then his gaze shifted to those objects.He saw some strange leather belt and the penis shaped object on the table.(The penis shaped object???He is not gonna use that on me,is he? Struggle harder you fool)He told this to himself as he started his unfruitful struggles again.

"Oh,I see that you've met my two best friends."He gestured to the objects on the table."You see, that is how I punish the naughty elves,like yourself.Well tonight you will learn the lesson a hard way,and you will learn how to please me,but I will be the one to grant you your release.Tonight,my sweet you will call me 'the master' and if you utter any words,unless I order you to,your punishment will continue all through night.Are we clear?" Valandil nodded as he looked at Huor's handsome serious face(This is not happening to me.Elladan,where are you.Please help!)He called the twin with his mind knowing well that his call won't be answered.Huor ungaged him and brought his lips close to the youths.Valandil wanted to scream but he stopped himself in time,recalling the other elfs warning. Huor saw that and he warned the sweet youth again.

"Tsk,Tsk...my whore.Remember you will not speak this night.You can only moan,and beg for more.Now what do you say when master wants you to agree about something.Speak."

"Yes Master."Valandil replied as the fear clouded his mind.
