OoOoOoOoOoO

Legolas Greenleaf was tired. He was beaten and his entire body hurt, so when he stumbled through the gates of Imladris all he could do to calm down the terrified voices yelling at him was to look up and give a pained smile. Suddenly he felt strong arms hold him and for some reason he felt safe in these arms, therefore he allowed himself to slip into painless oblivion.

OoOoOoOoOoO

The day had been great, nothing special had happened, except for the fact that Elrond lord off Imladris now walked around with bright turquoise hair, and Estel was, at the moment trying to decide whether to scowl or laugh at the story Elrohir was at the moment telling their brother about something that happened when Estel was only ten.

"Oh, `Dan you should have seen the look on his face when he-" Elrohir was stopped mid-sentence by a terrified looking maid, bursting into the room.

"My Lords, come quickly, your father needs your assistance in the healing ward!"

Not even sparing the maid a second look the three brothers leapt to their feet and stormed out of the room.

OoOoOoOoOoO

"Ada, what has happened?!" Estel shouted upon entering. He quickly made his way over to the bed where his brothers and father were already standing. When he looked in the bed he felt his knees give in under him, slamming him head first into the floor when seeing the pale and bloody face of Legolas. The sheets beneath him were all stained with blood and he became paler by the second.

"Who could have done such a thing?" Estel asked, and seeing the confusion and grief in his youngest sons eyes seemed to snap Elrond out of a trance and he started snapping out orders.

"Elladan, get me my supplies! Elrohir you go get me hot water and bandages!"

Upon hearing their father's words the two elves sprang into motion and they were back in the blink of an eye. Elrohir put the water on the stove as Elrond started to inspect the injuries of the young prince and as soon as the water was boiling he started patching up the young Mirkvood prince.

OoOoOoOoOoO

It was two days after the arrival of Legolas and he still had not awoken.

/Who could have done something so horrible? And even wore Legolas is an elf this must have been planned way beforehand, after all just catching him is a near impossible act/ Estel thought to himself when he suddenly heard a moan from Legolas bed.

"Legolas, mellon nin are you alright? Please open your eyes for me" Estel said, but soon he would wish he had just kept quiet and gone to fetch his father.

OoOoOoOoOoO

Elladan was walking past the doors of the healing ward when he heard voices. Hoping that it was Legolas who had awakened he went inside but he stopped when he saw the scene before him.

"You are just a filthy human, unworthy of the life the Valar has bestowed upon you! You even think that you are loved here, well I'll tell you this: you have never been loved and you never will be! The only reason Lord Elrond took you in, and the only reason we have ever been friendly to you was because of your destiny! You are the heir of Isildur, the one supposed to be the great king of men, but tell me something Aragorn" here Estel visibly winced, he truly hated to be reminded of his heritage "

How do you plan on becoming a great king, when you can't even protect one person you dare call a friend?" Legolas said with an evil smirk, and Estel who had gotten paler and paler through the entire speech just stood there, grief evident in every part of him until his eyes suddenly hardened and he took on the look of Strider instead of that of Estel.

" I have never asked to be king and I am sorry I could not help you. But I shall not bother you anymore; I can see when I am not wanted". Estel turned around and saw his brother standing in the door.

When he saw the pain, confusion and grief in his brother's eyes Elladan had to physically restrain himself from injuring the Mirkvood prince. When Legolas turned and saw the anger in Elladans eyes his smirk immediately died on his lips.

Pleased that he had at least scared the prince Elladan decided to run and get his father and brother so they could all check on Estel together.

OoOoOoOoOoO

Elrond, together with Elladan and Elrohir opened the door to Estel`s room and their hearts all shattered at the sight before them; Estel was in his bed shaking like a leaf in the wind, he no longer had the power to cry so he just shook silently in his sorrow.

Elrond slowly made his way over to his shaking son and put a protective arm around him.

" Estel, ion nin Legolas is just confused. He was gravely injured and probably said it without really knowing"

"No Ada, he knew what he was saying, and he told the truth; how can I who wasn't even able to protect one friend be able o become king? And how can you love me, when I have been nothing but a burden to you all these years?"

At these words the twins also joined the hug, but nothing they said was able to get Estel out of his grief, nothing could make him believe he was really loved, and after a while nothing could make him believe he was worthy of the life given to him

OoOoOoOoOoO
