Author's note: Prometheus is getting antsy. I'm just sorry the scene with him and Tiger was always being deleted...not to mention the dialog with Minotaur and Ariadne
..............................................................................................
Glorfindel told Celeborn and the others about Prometheus' warning, but it essentially fell on deaf ears. They had promised Aristaleonis to find her son, and now that they had an idea where he was, they were going to see it through. Besides Haldir was still real pissed that the Titan had taken advantage of the situation and taken Tiger behind his back...literally.
"I would heed Prometheus' warning," Glorfiindel warned them.
"But we gave our word," Rumil reminded him. "And I can't imagine anything here that could be worse than what we've already dealt with."
"Right," Elladan seconded. "All we need to do is find this Argo, get him out, fight a few guards and go home."
"You make it sound so easy," Elrohir growled at his twin. Eyeing his grandfather, he asked, "So what do you want us to do?"
Celeborn was of a mind to heed Glorfindel's warning, but they had given their word. "Be descreit, but look around. We're looking for a place where humans are held...someplace near a maze."
................................................................................................................................
Haldir decided he and Tiger would walk the grounds acting like a romantic couple. She was subdued but seemed to enjoy having his arm around her. He tried to understand her feelings and the difficult place she was in, but at the same time he couldn't believe she had no choice whatsoever.
Jerking Tiger around, surprising her, he kissed her, his kiss almost bitter in its pain and savage in the way he wanted to hurt her...like she was hurting him. If there were a way to make love to her so completely that she fortgot Prometheus entirely, he would have thrown her in the grass and do it then.
She melted against him, her hands crawling up his breast and around his neck to clasp each other there.
It would have been a tender moment but for the deep growling voice that spoke up behind them, "How sweet."
Haldir reached for his sword as he spun around to face the monster of the maze and his men.
"Shift Tiger, and I will have them shoot you instantly," The Minotaur said as his men raised their bows.
Haldir eased her behind him, although in all likelihood she probably would have had a better chance of surviving against them than he.
"Touching," the Minotaur growled. "Drop the sword or face my bowmen."
Haldir, his mind working quickly, said, "If you know she's Tiger. You know she is friends with Prometheus."
The minotaur laughed, sounding like a cross between a cow's bellow and a human voice. "Prometheus has been detained."
Haldir glanced over his shoulder at Tiger, who was frowning angrily at the creature in front of them. "Don't do anything," he cautioned her.
"Indeed," the MInotaur said confidently. "Now if you will come with us, we can proceed with rounding up the rest of your friends."
