Glorfindel slipped into a soft darkness that clouded his mind from all that was happening to him, but when the light finally returned he saw that the snake maidens were focusing all their attention on Jarna. He was very young for an elf, and something about him must have appealed to them more. Unable to move, Glorfindel realized they were killing him, feeding on his blood like vampires. He wondered when his time was coming.

Legolas, who fancied himself the better tracker, followed the trail the two elves left behind for as long as he could, which was remarkable since elves don't leave trails normally. But what he did find was most disturbing; the bare feet of five women met up with Glorfindel and Jarna and then they all disappeared together.

Tiger, who could have followed Glorfindel and Jarna by scent but had descided to let the 'boys' do their 'boy' thing, looked at the tracks on the ground in the waning light of the day and frowned. Bare foot women out here were unheard of. Snakes lived out here, and her hair bristled at the thought of snakes. Kneeling down she sniffed the tracks.

"Snakes," she said and looked up at Haldir. "Tiger hates snakes."

"You're saying snakes have Glorfindel and Jarna?" Gimli asked and hefted his axe just in case there were any black nagas around.

Tiger took a deep sigh. "Yes," she finally answered and sat back on her butt, a puzzled look on her face.

Haldir crouched in front of her and asked, "Where would the snakes take them?"

"Below," Tiger answered, "but I do not know how to go there?"

Legolas knelt beside Tiger now, frustrated that Haldir had such an unusual girlfriend, and asked, "Is there anyone who could find them?"

Tiger looked at him and thought about it. "Celestial and Longma could."

Haldir laid his hand on Tiger's arm drawing her back to him. He hoped pregnancy wasn't going to make her difficult. "Tiger, can you talk to Celestial now? Can he still feel you?"

Tiger smiled. "I have already talked to him."

Longma heard the dragon's roar and knew something was wrong with Tiger. Grabbing her great sword she ran outside, her long sleeves flowing behind her like black wings, and headed towards the pond. 'Celestial' what is wrong? she asked anxiously.

'Tiger says elf missing'! Celestial answered and roared again, the water streaming off his maginificent body as he came ashore and extended his leg towards her.

'Haldir? Something is wrong with Haldir?'

'Glorfindel! Snakes have him! Snakes have Jarna!'

Longma ran up the sinewy leg and took her seat. "Don't waste anytime, Celestial!" she told him.

Celestial roared again and leaped into the sky.

Glorfindel could see them licking the blood off Jarna's body. In the strange light of the cavern, he looked like marble he was so pale. Sated from their fine feed, the snake maidens were not ready to finish Glorfindel off.

He suspected the others would be looking for them now, but he didn't even know how he got here, unless Tiger had some extra magic about her that they didn't know of yet. And why couldn't he move? But he already knew the answer to that, cobras immobilize their prey with their poisonous bites. One of the maidens had bitten him. That he had some small movement was probably due to his elfen heritage. Made of tougher stuff than humans. He shut his eyes and tried not to think about what was going to happen to him. In all likelihood they enjoyed the smell of fear.

It was dark when Longma and Celestial arrived. Tiger was right, Snakes had taken Glorfindel and Jarna, and knowing how they behaved, the dragonwitch was certain one or both of them were dead by now. Still, the abduction could not go unpunished.

"Dig them out, Celestial," Longma told the great dragon.

Glorfindel felt hands caress his body. One of the Snake maidens was wanting a taste and ran her tongue down his belly to his unresponsive cock. Of course she had the ability to make it responsive. She wanted him warm, his body heavy with emotion and sensation that sweeted the blood. He thought she might bite him there since blood was required to make it thick and hard, but she did not. She hissed softly and ran that soft tongue back up his body to his breast. The hard muscle would not produce a lot of blood, but it would give her a place to bite. Her sharp teeth broke through the skin on either side of his right nipple. Blood oozed sweetly into her mouth until she started sucking. It came easier. He felt his head swim as her saliva entered his blood stream.

One of the other snake maidens moved towards them and he was certain he was experiencing his last sensation on earth. So what was that crashing noise! That awful roar?

The snake maidens jumped up as Celestial tore into their cavern with Longma and the elves behind her. Armed with sword and bow, they dispatched the shrieking, hissing demonesses in quick time. Tiger, who had not been allowed to join the fight, came in last and looked around.

"Tiger hates snakes," she growled and then spotted Jarna. Running to him, she lifted his head but he was cold now. Tears welled in her eyes as Haldir and Gimli joined her. "Tiger hates snakes," she repeated.

"Aye, so do I," Gimli agreed. "So do I."

Longma and the brothers freed Glorfindel, but the paralysis was upon him and he was having a difficult time breathing now. "I need to take him back to the Keep with me," Longma said. "Celestial, lower your head!"
