A.N - I hate Author's notes so they won't be in every chapter and if they are there they will be important. This story contains Legolas/Aragorn slash, which is male with male, so if you are against that kind of stuff do not read. There may also be eventual M PREG but i haven't decided on that yet.

DISCLAIMER - All characters belong to J.R.R Tolkien and will follow the movie timeline which belongs to Peter Jackson.

-Legolas-

The hobbits are missing. After Gimli, Aragorn and I had sent Boromir off in a boat after he had been shot with three enemy arrows and had fallen in battle Aragorn had told us that the Uruk-Hai had taken the hobbits and we were their only hopes.

********flashback**********

I sat there and watched Aragorn cry over the dead body of his best friend. I wanted to run to him and comfort him but I couldn't because Gimli was standing right there and we hadn't found away to tell him about our relationship yet. When Aragorn stood up and walked over to us he said that he wanted to send Boromir off in a good way. The boat was the best way any of us could think of. After we all said good-bye to the first fallen member of the fellowship, if you could even call it that anymore since we more or less failed, Gimli voiced what we were all thinking. "I wonder who will be the next to fall?" Aragorn and I looked at each other and he replied "Nobody else will die while I still draw breathe. We have two hobbits who we can no longer help and two that will need our help. We must go after Merry and Pippin." With that we left.

-Aragorn-

Boromir was dead. His best friend had dies in battle. All I wanted to do was go to Legolas and cry in his arms but I had to keep my emotions under control for two reasons, one, Gimli was there and he had yet to find out about our relationship, and two, half of the hobbits moved closer to death with each second we delayed saving them. I told the other two we had to travel lightly and swiftly as Uruk's don't need to stop for rest or foods that would already set us back enough.

Already I had let almost every member of the fellowship down. I had not been there to save Gandalf. Or Boromir. Or Merry. Or Pippin. I had failed to protect Frodo. Sam had left with frodo without me knowing. Legolas and gimli were the only two I had yet to disappoint; and they were the two I was with. I have no idea how I am going to be king if I cannot even lead a small number of people across the land. Elladan had been right all those years ago.

*****flashback******

Elladan and Elrohir were sitting in the bedroom they shared as Estel was walking past the door. Their conversation sounded important so Estel stopped to listen to it being the young, sneaky half elf that he was. They were talking about him. "Estel will make a great king of men one day if he remains this committed to his studies of men. King Arathorn would have been proud to see how good of a man his son had become" said Elrohir. Estel was confused but he put aside his worries and listened to the rest of the conversation. "I think not my brother. While Estel is like a second brother to me I do not think him capable of becoming king" Elladan replied.
"Do explain why brother as I can see no reason why he should fail. You should not doubt him."
"I do not doubt his heart, only his leadership skills." Estel heard them coming towards the door so left quickly. He thanked the Valar for being half elf as without his elven agility he would not have escaped his twin brothers.

*****End flashback*****

Once Elrond had been explained to me that I was actually Aragorn and the heir of Isilduir, I have doubted myself just like Elladan. That is why I never confronted him; because I knew in my heart he was right and that I would rise to nothing. It appears I now have reason to doubt myself.

Enough dwelling on past thoughts, I have a task to complete. I have to insure the hobbits are alive and well. If I don't do it for them, I have to do it for my own sanity. I have to find them. Then I won't be completely useless to the King of Mirkwood and he will let me marry his only son and heir. I need to prove myself to him.
