Disclaimer: I don't own the twins, although I wish I did, not too sure about Elrond, but if he comes with the twins then I'll have him as well! But really this is all written with respect to J.R.R. Tolkein and his descendents, no copyright infringement intended.

A/N: I was suddenly struck from above by inspiration and decided to write this – a Double Drabble that may extend to be a full blown fic. Being a Double Drabble it should be 200 words long(not counting the authors notes)and it is, if you count the Fin at the end. Hope you enjoy and please review!

A silhouette stands in the dark doorway, his hair matted with blood and water, plastering the raven tresses to his face and revealing his bloodied temple. He's soaked from the tip of his pointed ears to his toes and he aches all over, the mud that clings to his clothes stings his injuries like fire, but he doesn't care.

The only pain he can feel is the one in his heart as he waits for the news to reach his father's ears. How could this have happened? He hadn't been fast enough; this had all been his fault.

He pulls the limp form of his brother closer to his chest and swallows hard, unable to believe what is happening. He hadn't been fast enough to save the one that was most important to him – the one that had been with him through everything.

His tears are hidden by the blood, rain and dirt that cover his face. He hears footsteps racing down the hall towards him and looks up staring straight into his father's silver eyes as the Elven Lord stands frozen unable to believe the terrible scene before him.

The first elf speaks softly, voice trembling:

"He's dead."

-Fin-

A/N: It can be either twin, although I have a preference to which way around it was.Review, guess who it was and I'll reply and tell you.
