A Witch's Revenge

Chapter 6: Connected Dreams

Thranduil rode frantically through the forest looking for any signs of his son. He was going so fast the soldiers behind him struggled to try and keep up with him for even a second. But after much search the sun was starting to set, signaling the search party to come back. However it took practically a whole battalion of soldiers to get Thranduil to return.

Thranduil sat alone, and depressed in the dining hall he felt so empty. There was no sound of elfling laughter or joy, no one for him to talk to, and no one to make him happy. This is how my house ends,my wife dead and son taken, was all that went through his head.

After barely eating any of his food Thranduil went up to his room. He then went out to his balcony, and stood and watched the sunset. He remembered when his wife told him she was pregnant with Legolas on this balcony. It was one of the happiest days of his life, and now both those sources were gone. However despite this his fatherly determination was not about to let him quite.

"I'll find you Legolas, Adas coming just hold on." Thranduil whispered to the air.

Thranduil felt tired, and decided to retire early knowing he'd need his energy to continue searching. He got into his bed wishing nothing more than to have his son close to him. He laid there for several hours before he finally fell asleep dreaming of finding Legolas.

The base in Mordor

As Legolas laid there on the floor of the cold dark cell he started to twist and turn in his sleep.

"Ada Ada help me please where are you Ada!" Legolas cried out in his sleep.

He continued to get louder and louder until it was practically a full out yell. Outside they could hear everything, Yoric and Salazar were trying to play their nightly card game, but were unable to due to the elflings screeching. They covered their ears annoyed, and unsure how to make it stop. It was then a raging Radelia came in storming towards the cell.

"I am trying to use my mask at the moment, so why is there that unearthly screaming happening!"

Even though the mask astral projected her soul she could still hear things from her physical body.

"It's the brat he won't stop" Salazar yelled over the screeching.

"Well why haven't you stopped it!"

"We don't know how" Yoric yelled

"Uuhhhhggg, I have to do everything myself don't I!"

Radelia ran to the large iron door and ripped it open. She stomped over to Legolas, and grabbed him by the front of collar then started intensely shaking him. She shook him till he woke leaving a tear stained and shaking Legolas.

"Why were you screaming!"

"I..I...miss my ada." Legolas sobbed once again.

"Will you shut up!"

Radelia threw Legolas at the wall knocking him out. She walked over to the limp body, and felt for a heartbeat. There was lucky a pulse, but a large gash in his head. She quickly healed it leaving a large scar and blood in his blond hair. She didn't do this because she felt guilty, but because she couldn't do anything with a dead body.

Both the men looked with wide eyes they knew Radelia could be quite cruel, but never this unfeeling. They knew she was more serious about this job than anything and not because of the money but the revenge.

A few minutes earlier in Mirkwood

Thranduil was sleeping in his bed when he started to twist and turn. He then started to talk in his sleep.

"Where are you ion nin please tell me?"

He then started to twist and turn more violently as he began to see images of his son. He saw a sobbing Legolas crying for his ada in a dark and cold room. He then swore he saw an image of Legolas hurt.

"Legolas Legolas Legolas!"

Thranduil then shot up in a cold sweat as he sat up in his bed. He breathed heavily trying to gather his thoughts, and make guesses as to Legolas's location. He thought for almost an entire hour only to draw no conclusions. He then for the first since the death of his wife cried. He sobbed until he fell back asleep feeling like a failure of a father.
