Chapter Three

Elrohir groaned softly and his eyes slowly opened. His head felt heavy along with the rest of his body. His vision was just a blurry field of darkness, he had the slight realization that a cloth was over his eyes. He twisted a bit but a slight only to find his hands and feet where bond tightly together. He shifted a bit more and his senses must have come back a bit more since he realized he was moving. His hand brushed along the bottom of the wagon.

He was about to move again when a hand on his shoulder stopped him. "I wouldn't try anything," A female voice said harshly.

Elrohir stopped and tried to speak but found that he was also gagged as well. He frowned and just shifted back. The hand was removed and Elrohir listed to the movement that was right by him. He then heard the female speak again. "He's awake. Should I drug him again?"

"No, not right now. Once we get past the Sea of Rhun drug him again," came a reply that had a male voice.

"Right," She said. Elrohir swallowed a bit and settled back trying to get into as much of a comfortable position. He must have been asleep for some time if they even nearby the Rhun. He let his eyes close again even though it made little difference. As he sat there Elrohir moved his head ever so slightly. He had gotten into bad situations in the past so this wasn't new for him.

Then after what took some time and movement, the blindfold fell away just enough for him to see the wagon. He saw Talath breathing very very slightly, as well as Orophin and Rumil from Lothlorien. He then saw the woman that had spoken earlier. She then looked over and saw that his blindfold fell away a bit. She just sighed and moved over and fixed it much to Elrohir's struggles. Once it was in place he heard her speak to the man again. Yet, he wasn't focused on that, he was thinking about how he can tell Elladan and his father at least the direction they were heading. His thinking was suddenly interrupted by a harsh grab as well as his gag being removed to only be replaced by a sweet-smelling cloth.

A few moments passed and Elrohir felt a heaviness. He was moved a bit and he felt his senses starting to fade. Rhun...come on Elladan. Rhun. Elrohir thought before his thoughts slipped away and he fell back into a deep sleep.

Elladan sat up suddenly with a gasp. He looked around at the small campsite that was set up. He saw his father awake sitting by the low fire. Glorfindel was nearby seemingly sound asleep. Elladan stood up shakily and walked and sat by Elrond and leaned against him. His father looked over and wrapped an arm around him.

"We'll find him," Elrond said.

"I know I just..." He then paused and sat up pulling away from his father. He stared into the low fire with a puzzled expression.

"Elladan?" Elrond asked gently.

Elladan then turned sharply and said, "Rhun!"

"What?" Elrond asked.

"Elrohir...he's by Rhun!" Elladan said. Elrond looked at Elladan and stood up. He knew his sons always were close. Being twins just made them closer and at times they always seemed to know where or what was going on with the other. Yet, that was only when they were younger as they got older that seemed to fade but it did come back from time to time. Elrond was grateful for it to be able to come back now.

He shook Glorfindel awake and the golden-haired warrior sat up with a start. "It's alright Glorfindel. Yet, we have an idea where Elrohir is heading. I need you to get to Gondor as quickly as you can and tell Aragorn and the others who will be coming with us to meet us by the Sea of Rhun."

"Right," Glorfindel said as he quickly stood up and packed his things. Within a few minutes, Glorfindel was riding quickly to Gondor to get the other members of their group. Elrond already knew that they were not going to be going alone. From his conversation with Galadriel, he knew Haldir will be with them to find his brothers. He also knew that there was no way that Aragorn will be left out of finding his brother. He also assumed that some others will come since besides strength in number they needed all the skill they could. The person that took Elrohir was very skilled and was an easy match for both Elrond and Elladan. So, yes, they needed all the skill the could get. Elrond just hopped that for whoever did come along on this journey that it would be enough. However, something told him that they were heading into something that was much bigger than it seemed.
