~The Blood Child~

Chapter 2:~Of Demon Blood~

Elora felt her anger rise and slammed her hands onto the table. "Ithildin," Galadriel said gently. "Elora, it's going to be alright," Elladan began. Elora shook her head as she held back her tears. "How can you say to me that it's going to be alright?!," She exclaimed, "It's not! Charline's dead! And Emersion... He's trapped, cursed and locked up by the demons and the Marvena! People... Innocent people, my friends, my family are risking their lives for me! And I never asked for this to happen!," "Elora...," Thranduil sighed. "No!," Elora exclaimed, "Don't tell me things are going to be alright when I know they're not! For once! Leave me alone!," And she grabbed the box with the Eldstar before leaving the hall. "What do you think she's going to do?," Aragorn asked. "I don't know," Legolas sighed.

Elora took out a knife and slowly cut herself in the arm with it. She closed her eyes, feeling the pain. She took away the knife and the wound quickly healed. "No...," She mumbled. She held the knife against her heart when Elladan came running. "Elora!," He exclaimed in panic and grabbed the knife out of her hand. "NO!," Elora screamed in tears, "Let me go!," Elladan forced the knife out of her hand and threw it aside as he held her hard. "I will not let you hurt yourself, meleth nín," Elladan declared. Elora soon stopped fighting against him and broke out in tears. Elladan held his wife tightly. "Shh, it's alright, I'm here...," He whispered soothingly. "Cristiana... Emersion... Charline... I lose everyone I love!," Elora cried. Elladan held her tightly as Thranduil, Legolas, Aragorn, Gimli, Elrond, Galadriel and Gandalf showed up behind them.
Galadriel went over to Elora. "Elora, Ithildin...," She spoke softly. Elora shook her head and nuzzled herself against Elladan's chest. "Oh, my child... Don't cry...," Adrienne's evil voice interrupted. Legolas stepped forward. "Haven't you hurt her enough!," He exclaimed angrily. Adrienne smiled wickedly, "Greenleaf, do that... And your 'mellon Elleth' will pay!," And Legolas looked at her confused, "What are you talking about?," And Adrienne smiled wickedly, "She's alive, Greenleaf... Your true love is alive!," And Legolas swallowed, "Tauriel...," He mumbled so no one heard. Elora stood up and turned to Adrienne. "Please... Just go!," And Adrienne looked at her sadly. "Keegan was right. You're breaking...," And she held out her hand, "Come with me and I shall show you who you truly are. You're denying your true self. It's the cause of all your pain and suffering. I can help you," And Elora shook her head. "You've already hurt me before... And you've hurt two of the people I care most about... How can I trust you?...," "I'm just trying to protect you. I was trying to protect you... You're my child and I love you," Elora shook her head, "You call everything you do to me for love. What you don't realise is... that what you've done to me... is not love," And Adrienne looked at her sadly. Elora turned from her when Adrienne grabbed her arm. "Elora, I'm your mother!," She insisted. Elora turned to her, "I don't care. You're not my mother and you will never be!," And she tore her arm free from Adrienne's grip. Adrienne swallowed and Elora shook her head and run away. Adrienne swallowed and disappeared in a dark cloud of smoke.

Elora run. She run through The Light Kingdom's forest without knowing where she was heading. She just wanted to get away. When suddenly, she was attacked by spiders.

A spider got Elora to the ground.
"You're losing a battle against yourself, young Light Elf! How weak and pathetic you are!," The spider snarled. "Shut up!," Elora exclaimed. And she screamed when the spider bit her in the neck and shot it's poison into her body.

Suddenly, the spider was hit by a knife from behind and a man in dark cloak started fighting off the spiders.
Elora didn't see who it was before she passed out. And the man in dark cloak went over to her and knelt down at her and took Elora into his arms, "It's alright, my child. You're safe and you're going to be alright. Father is here now," Elora groaned a little at his words and Keegan lifted the unconscious Elora into his arms and left.
