Chapter Eight

Aegnor was sitting in his room trying to work the laptop that Xander made for him. Thankfully he made it so he'll have everything translating into Quenya. He sighed as Silmaril jumped onto the desk and looked at him. He reached over and pet the cat's soft head. He was trying to teach himself some things and do his own research of this world. He looked at the time, Maglor was not due back for a while.

He stood up and walked to the fridge and looked inside. He was enjoying the wonders of modern technology. Like a microwave, he can heat or even cook things in seconds. It was amazing. As well as the laptop he had, any information it seconds. It was fascinating. As he put some soup in the microwave he found a note left by Maglor. " Cuz. Do not put any metal or tinfoil (the shiny thin gray stuff) in here. Also, do not put anything in here for more than 5 mins."

Aegnor shook his head and crumpled up the note. He was not an idiot, Maglor had told this to him many times. He placed it in the microwave and pressed the proper button. When it was ready it brought it upstairs and ate his soup while he worked.

He looked up though when he heard a crash from downstairs. Maglor could not be home yet...he stood up slowly and headed downstairs slowly. He got ready to fight as he headed down the stairs, he had been training with Maglor (never mind he did not win against him once) but he was confident that he could hold his own in a fight. Also, he was an elf so he was confident that he could use his heightened senses to his advantage. Yet, as he walked through the empty living room he was too slow by an inch of someone slamming something to the back of his head. He fell down grunting and holding the back of his head. Luckily he did not pass out but his the back of his head hurt. He looked up at the person but they were dressed all in black and had a mask over their face.

Aegnor jumped back quickly and stood up slowly. He got ready for the person to come at him and they did. Aegnor was just as good as a fighter as him but there was a problem, they had a weapon and he did not. The guy twisted around and kicked Aegnor in the head and he fell back. He grunted and stood up but froze as the person held their weapon to Aegnor's face. He swallowed a bit and slowly stood up. The guy was ready to pull the trigger but Aegnor grabbed the gun and kicked the guy in the chest. The guy rolled back and grunted. Aegnor aimed it at them and shot near their head. Maglor had taught him the basics of using a gun and defending it against himself. The guy stood up and with a quick motion, a dagger flew out and just slashed his arm but only by a little. Aegnor dropped one hand and held it over his arm. Yet, when he looked up the guy was gone. He made his escape through an open window that he came through.

Aegnor took deep breaths and went stairs. He grabbed his phone and called Maglor.

"Hey. You figured out how to use the phone," Maglor said.

"Maglor...someone...attacked me. I am alright...just my arm got wounded a little." Aegnor said.

"WHAT!" Maglor asked and Aegnor was sure that he heard Maglor cursed. "I am heading back there. Also, go to an area of your room so you could see the whole room and the window."

"Alright. I will," Aegnor replied.

"Good. I am heading back now...stay safe. Bye." Maglor said.

"Bye," Aegnor replied as he got into an area of the room and settled down. Silmaril came out of the hiding place they were in. They rubbed up against him and snuggled against his arm. Aegnor nodded and patted the cat's head. Maglor got back quickly and came into the room holding a medium size kit. He placed it down and looked at Aegnor's arm.

"Your arm will be fine, I can patch it up," Maglor said as he stood up. He opened the kit and took out a few things. Aegnor took off his shirt so Maglor could patch his arm much more. Aegnor explained what happened and how the person looked.

"He was wearing gloves you said?" Maglor asked and when Aegnor nodded. Maglor sighed and said, "Okay. Maybe we can find something from where the gun came from or the knife."

"You can do that?" Asked Aegnor.

"Yeah. Well, Xander will be the best person to answer it. I gave him a call, he should be here soon." Maglor said. "How are you holding up?"

"I am fine. I have gone through worse than this scratch." Aegnor said calmly.

"I know...still." Replied Maglor. Soon, Xander came in and Maglor quickly explained what had happened to Aegnor. Xander nodded and looked at Aegnor. "You alright?" He asked.

Aegnor gave him a thumbs up and he then turned to Maglor and said switching to English. "Alright. I can see the gun's there and I take it the knife used was downstairs."

"I assume so," Maglor replied.

"Alright. I can handle things from here and you should call your work telling them an emergency came up that you need to take care of. Or tell them something so you can get a few weeks off." He said.

"Right. I'll try to figure out something to do," Maglor sighed. Xander nodded and headed out of the room.

"What was that?" Asked Aegnor looking at his cousin.

"Xander is just laying out a plan which is us looking into who attacked you," Maglor said. "Do not worry though. Now that we have more solid evidence I am sure Xander and I can dig up something."

"What should I do?" Aegnor asked.

"Rest," Maglor replied.

"Maglor. I was able to handle myself and this person attacked me. I would like to be a part of this." Aegnor said firmly. Maglor stared at him for a few moments and then shrugged and said, "Okay then."
