Two-year-old Tauriel and Legolas, three, played together in the sunshine, to their parents' delight, but the little elflings did not enjoy those stormy nights.
"Ada!" Tauriel dashed into their room just as the thunder struck overhead. "Listen!"
Thranduil wanted to send the elleth away, but Caiwen drowsily motioned to her. "Come sit with me."
The redhead soon lay between them at the pillows. Thunder struck again, and Legolas dashed through the door.
"Are you afraid as well?" Thranduil asked.
"No," his son proudly answered, "I'm not afraid."
But at the next peal of thunder, he leaped into his mother's arms.
Author's Note: Here's chapter 2! Caiwen is my OC, obviously Thranduil's wife. Someday, I will write a one-shot about her story… someday. I make no promises.
Thanks to shenanigans, neebione, marshmellow, wildhorses1492, Nickey Toron, and Ruthaer for reviewing Chapter 1!
Ruthaer: Thank you for asking that question about Legolas's mother! You gave me the idea for that last "punch" to make this chapter interesting. You may be interested in my oneshot, More than Life, about Legolas's mother and how much she loved him. Thanks again for reviewing!
Nickey Toron: I'll continue, but you might just have to write those longer chapters yourself! :-)
