Chapter 21

Belowins POV

As I lay resting trying to become deep in slumber I can't help but worry. That elleth knows many tricks and dark magic. What could prevent her from breaking out of the dungeons? I turn on my side to face Legolas when I feel something amazing. I feel our child kick for the first time.

"Legolas?" I poke him to wake him up so he wouldn't miss it.

Legolas eyes open and look at me confused for a moment before he goes into panic mode. Quickly he sits up and looks me up and down.

"What is the matter? Are you in pain or anything?" He asks me in a panicked tone.

"Nothing is wrong Legolas give me your hand." I tell him.

Legolas looks at me odd but gives me his hand. I place his hand on top of my somewhat swollen stomach and just as his hand makes contact the baby kicks and Legolas looks at me shocked.

"That's our child Legolas." I tell him with a big smile.

He doesn't say anything but leans more into almost as if he were asking the baby to do it again and the baby happily obliges.

"Our Child is strong and healthy. I cannot wait to meet him or her." He tells me as he kisses me.

That's when we hear a ruckus outside of our door. This time I looked at Legolas confused. He told me to stay there as he got up and walked to the door. I hear a guard try to explain to him what is going on as Neema bursts in.

'Up, we have to get you somewhere safe." Neema tells me as she helps me out of bed.

'What's going on?" I ask her still wondering what is going on.

"The creatures somehow escapes but crazy elleth is still in her cell laughing like a mad man." Neema tells me as she helps me put my robe on.

''Why? I don't understand! " I tell her as Legolas comes to my side now.

''She is right, come I know of just the place to keep us safe." Legolas says leading us out the door.

I notice Neema following behind us with bow and arrow in hand and she doesn't look happy. We get to a corridor and see guards fighting more creatures than I remember them take to the dungeon.

Legolas pulls me another way trying not to be seen but its to late. One of the creatures notice and charge our way sword drawn before he makes it though Neema releases an arrow into it and it falls to the ground.

''Get her out of here!'' Neema yells at Legolas.

"Neema no! Please don't leave me sister! I need you!" I call out to her desperate she will listen to me.

''Bel go! I watched mother die I won't watch you! Now go!'' Neema yells back at me.

Legolas grabs me and tries to pull me away. I try to get out of his grasp to get to my sister.

"Neema! No please!" I scream at her as tears flood my face.

Legolas has no choice but to pick me up and start to run with me in his arms. I may never see my sister again. I feel my body slowly becoming numb even in Legolas arms.

Thranduil POV

These creatures came out of the woods by numbers we did not expect. They took on the guards as of they were toys. I walk through the halls fighting the beasts off as I go. These are not the same ones from the dungeons.

Turning a corner I look down and see an elleth laying on the ground. Her red hair sprayed across the ground. She was lying face down. Fear struck me. What if this was Belowin?

Quickly I go to the elleth and turn her over. Her eyes are closed but she does look like Belowin. Then I remember what Legolas said their eye colors were different. I barely open her eye. Green, this is Neema. I put my fingers on her neck checking for a pulse when I see the marchwarden Haldir come forward and looks down at her.

He doesn't say anything he just stares at her. Shock seems to be running through him and he can't come to terms with it.

Belowins POV

Legolas took me somewhere I don't even know. Nor did I care at this moment. I was too worries about Neema. I knew she was strong and brave after all I learned those traits from her.

"Belowin, your sister will be fine. She was looking out for you." Legolas tells me trying to calm me down.

"I shouldn't have left her? You have no idea, I just left her to die!" I scream as I begin to sob.

Legolas holds me close and speaks words of comfort to me. Still I can hear the chaos going on outside. How was this possible? Neema said those creatures were just men in disguise. If that was so then what were these things?

The doors open and my uncle walks to my side. He seems confused as well.

"Bel thank the valar you are alright?'' Uncle says as he looks me over.

''What about Neema? Did you see her is she alright?" I ask him.

My uncle doesn't say anything but just stares at me. I know that isn't a good thing.

"Uncle! Where is my sister?!" I now yell at him.

"I do not know where Neema is. Haldir went to look for her. I am sure he will return her to you." He tells me but I don't believe him.

It feels like he is lying to me. I just wanted to find my sister! Was that really so much to ask for?! I look back to Legolas with tears in my eyes again.

"Legolas, I can't live without my sister. She is the only part of my mother I have left." I say as I turn into his chest.
