~The Blood Child~

Chapter 6:~Lost friendship~

When Elora woke up next day, she realised that she was alone. She glanced at the nightstand where breakfast stood ready. She wondered where Adrienne and Keegan had gone. Did they count on that she would be strong enough to get up on her own? Or was she supposed to stay in bed one more day? She glanced at the clothes that was laying on the chair at the stone wall. She sighed and ate the breakfast she had been offered. Of course what she ate wasn't some wonderful Lembas bread, but it was a pretty good breakfast anyway. It was fruits and vegetables after all and some good human bread.
She went over to the chair with the clothes and picked up the dark blue and blue top/shirt. "They must be kidding me," Elora sighed when she looked at the clothes. She sighed and put on the dark blue black elven clothes and the pair of dark black boots. She grabbed the white elven knife and daggers and put them in the warrior belt and on her back before grabbing the bow and quiver with arrows.
She went out of her room and further through the high cave. She suddenly heard weak sounds of crying that she fallowed down some dark stairs down to something that looked like a dungeon with many cells. "Hello? Is someone here?," She asked carefully. The crying continued. But as she approached, she could tell it sounded like female crying.
She approached the cell next to the cell furthest away. She swallowed. In the cell sat an elleth with long auburn hair with green eyes. She wore green elven clothes. She looked like a wood elf. The Elleth looked up at her. "Are you one of their slaves?," She asked anxiously. Elora didn't know what to answer. Should she tell her the truth. "No, I'm one of their blood children. My name is Elora," "Do you have a full name?," The Elleth asked. Elora sighed, "Yes. My name is Elora Thranduliell," The Elleth looked up at her confused. "Do you know Legolas Thrandulion? In all years I lived with Thranduil and his son I've never heard of a daughter of Thranduil and his wife Shalendra," And Elora swallowed, "That's because I didn't grow up in Mirkwood. I was born a year before Legolas as The Last Light elf and kidnapped by and raised by an evil wizard. I didn't know I was the daughter of Thranduil until almost a year ago. But, how did you get here? Why would Adrienne need you? What's your name?," And The Elleth swallowed. "Tauriel," She answered. Elora smiled weakly, "Tauriel, Daughter Of The forest," "She think she could get through to Thranduil and especially Legolas through me," Tauriel declared. "Why?," Elora asked confused. "Because Legolas is in love with me," Tauriel answered. Elora looked down, "Oh. Do you love him?," And Tauriel swallowed and nodded, "Can you get me out of here?," Elora swallowed. Could she? She wore no magic blocking bracelet so maybe she could. Elora wanted to help the young Elleth. She could at least try. She held forward her hand and opened the cell door with her magic. She felt a familiar presence around her. 'Demons' She thought. She needed to get Tauriel out of here before Adrienne come back.
After helping Tauriel out, she told her to go to The Light Kingdom that was closest from here. "Go. Elladan son of Elrond is my husband. He'll help you," Tauriel nodded and hurried away. Elora herself went to find Emersion.

In the dungeons, she find a secret door that lead her into a dark room where she found Emersion under the sleeping spell with a protection aura over him. Elora stretched out her hand to touch the aura that burned her. She swallowed. "Elora!," Keegan's voice exclaimed angrily. Elora knew she was doomed. "Elora! What have you done!?," Adrienne exclaimed in rage. Keegan stormed into the secret room and dragged Elora away from Emersion, screaming. "NO! Let me go!," Elora screamed as she stared crying. "Elora, calm down!," Keegan protested. Elora broke free from his grip. "NO!," She exclaimed, "Emersion... What have you done with him!?," And Adrienne sighed, "Elora, Keegan will reverse the spell. I promise," And Elora looked at them in tears. "Please, just leave me alone," "Elora, tomorrow we are going to train your powers from us. There's nothing you can say about it!," Keegan exclaimed. And Elora looked at him angrily and run into her room, slamming the door behind her. Keegan and Adrienne sighed deeply, looking at each other.
