Leaning beside Tauriel, Elrond bathed and dressed her wound, then getting her arm into proper healing position,put a sling around it to support it.
"That is all I can do for the moment"he said
"Get her up!"the goblin king commanded.
Two orcs came forward,one took her roughly and raised her face and opened her mouth and the other poured in some red liquid into it.Feeling the burn of whatever had been poured down her throat,Tauriel coughed and woke.
"Tauriel.."a gentle voice whispered.
Instinctively,she said "Legolas?"
Surprised by this sudden call for the prince Elrond said 'No child, it's Elrond'
The voice had been inside her head! 'Lord Elrond?',she said, surprised.
'I have linked our minds,now listen,my child,they will ask you about Mirkwood,it's weak points...Don't let anything slip.'
'Nay,my lord,I know how to defend my kingdom,I wont say a thing'
'Good' Elrond replied but was interrupted before he could say more.

"Well,MY LADY"the king gave a fake bow,"I hoped you liked our 'hospitality'"
"I've seen and done better"Tauriel replied calmly.
"Well,well,well,let's cut to chase,we want to know a way unguarded into Mirkwood".
She laughed"I'd tell you that..why"
"Because,otherwise you'd die"
"My life is worthless for the protection of my people"
"What bravery..."the king sighed,"throw them both in the dungeons,if they dont tell by morning,we'll do it the hard way"

Tauriel looked at Elrond and he smiled faintly to encourage her.She smiled back.
'It will be alright'he said to her inside her head.
'Yeah'she replied.
