Heart Broken

To Long

Sorry for such a short chapter wanted to give you all something for now
..............................

It's been to long to long they have been searching for these monsters, to long to get any information out of anyone they could, to long to be away from your daughter.

Aragorn stood weak, tired, disheveled. No longer the man he once was, the proud strong king of Gondor was now nothing. No one in Gondor trusted him any more, they all were waiting for the day he would either snap and kill someone or kill himself.

It's been a very long 15 years.... 15 years of having no idea what could be happening to his daughter or if she was still even alive. Aragorn looked down at the scribbled on map with defeat for what seemed like the millionth time. They have traveled everywhere on this map and havent found the dark elves that took Angel.

Aragorn learned the first year what exactly he was up against and couldn't believe what he was hearing. Dark elves they were, no one really knew anything about them and the elves seemed reluctant to even acknowledge the subject at all. Legolas even seemed to be reluctant to even imagine such a creature and half time refused to listen to anything new Aragorn had learned.

"Aragorn you need to rest"

Aragorn wanted to scream at his friend, how dare he tell him to rest.... his daughter was kidnapped and he couldn't find Angel and she was all that he had left.
Everyday and night Aragorn looked over map after map any map he get his hands on of the surrounding areas. If there was any different paths or forests or a small group of travelers he knew about it by now but still they couldn't find this damn kingdom.

Over these past 15 years Aragorn has become a shell of the man he use to be. Aragorn could admit he has been having some very dark thoughts lately.  Every night he tries to sleep he is instantly awoken by terrible nightmares. This was killing him, Aragorn was going downhill fast and no one was there to help him.

Legolas was no help, the first few days he was in shock of what had happened and then when he did get to help that first year it was shortly lived help when Legolas completely turned into a different person when the topic of a dark elf came up.
Of course this caused major problems between Aragorn and Legolas because Aragorn was starting to think Legolas didn't want to help find Angel anymore because of some stupid fear.

Legolas felt terrible not helping more but this over welming fear just kept taking over him.
This was all his fault Legolas thought to himself as he stood watching Aragorn poor over the map. If he had just been a little smarter about the situation he had walked into all those years ago maybe just maybe he could have stopped Angel from being taken.

Angel jumped awake looking around the room that has been her prison for the past 15 years. No really prison if she had admit she was treated well very well infact.
Getting up out of her huge comfy bed she started getting ready for the day.
Looking at her self once in the mirror before leaving her room she took a deep breath and walked out making her way to the dinning area.

Walking in she felt his eyes on her before she saw him and walked to her  seat sitting down.
"Hello Princess how did you sleep" Angel felt the chill run down her spine as the cold breath fanned the back of her neck.
Angel sat quietly as she watched the man that captured her so many years ago took his seat at the table. "Well cat got your tongue this morning"

Angel shook her head and sighed "I slept fine."

A deep chuckle sounded from him as he sipped at his drink and looked at her. Angel felt uncomfortable this has gone on for the past year where he would just stare at her for no reason.

"Happy anniversary princess" a box was slid across the table to her and she sighed opening it.
Every year, every year he would do this, give her a present on the anniversary of the day she was taken.

Looking in the box there was a beautiful arm cuff that had red jewels and what looked like a thorn pattern that wrapped around the upper arm.

"Do you like it?" Angel sat still looking down at the cuff. Yes she did like it...in fact she liked every present he has ever gotten her, but she can't just tell him that.
"Its fine" she said softly taking a bite of her food.

"Hmm to fines in one sitting.....something tells me my princess woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

Angel kept her eyes to her plate and frowned. This also wasn't new, this guy started calling his princess probably in the first year. Truthfully she use to hate it alot more then than she does now.

"Well I must go handle some work, you should probably hurry along to lessons your self princess."

Angel went to her lessons  but was just not in the right head space to pay attention. Time seemed to take forever when Angel was finally released from her lessons.
Going back to her room Angel froze when she entered. Everything was gone.....
