Disclaimer: See First Chapter

A/N: Hello people! I've been thinking about this story lately and remembered that for once I'm not putting an evil twist n things like I normally like to do. Of course then I realized that I didn't even post this chapter yet. My brain I guess was running from me. Oh well enjoy!

Chapter 10

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!" Lord Elrond yelled as he approached the crowd of battling young elves in front of him, plus Estel. He looked angry and the anger that Elrond felt at the moment began to radiate off of him which calmed the crowd down. "All of you to my study, NOW!" He demanded this as he began to walk to his study.

Quickly after he left all of the boys followed in suit, for they did not want to feel the raft of Lord Elrond on them even more than tey will when they talk to him. When Haldir was walking he quickly moved away from Legolas as fast as he could. He was acting like a maniac! Haldir kept saying this to himself. I don't understand why he got so upset. I didn't even tell them that much. I could have told them more but I chose not too. I mea I guess he thought that maybe I shouldn't tell stories that could get him into trouble, I don't know. Then Haldir shifted his eyes and looked at Legolas for a moment then shifted them back to in front of him. How does Tithrawyn stand his behavior? He shooked his head slightly after he thought this. They've known each other for many more centuries than I have I should judge.

When they got to the study, Lord Elrond was waiting. He looked upon the boys with an eerily calm facial expression. It seem eerie because earlier he radiated anger but now he was as calm as water.

"Now tell me, what was going on outside?" he said calmly.

"Well..." Elrohir started. And after that once again all chaos broke through since everyone at once was trying to tell their story. In response Lord Elrond raised one hand and silenced them all. He looked at each one of them in turn to find out for himself who was mainly responsible. His eyes began to shift around until they landed on an uneasy, slightly twitchy Prince in the back of the room. He met eyes with him and then the prince's stance began to droop.

Elladan noticed this change in Legolas and looked at his father.

"Boys, I would like to speak to Legolas alone," Elrond finally declared. As the others began to file out of the room he called out once more," Haldir, I would like to talk to you afterwards."

Haldr nodded and then paused to look at a downcasted Legolas, who didn't look up to see him, then finally he walked out of the room closing the door behind him.

"Sit, please," Elrond said quietly as he gestured the younger elf to do so. But Legolas stood stiff to where he was standing while he was continuing to look down at the floor. "Legolas, I have heard many things in my day. Stories or tales that have come from other lands, and even though some of these tales become wild and maybe even far from the truth you still have to embrace the. Legolas, I have heard tales about you also."

At this Legolas lifted his head up and looked at the Lord in front of him. What did he hear?

"I admit that I grew curious and used the idea o inviting your father to this ball at a chance to actually meet you then possibly get to know you. But the latter part, seemingly is the difficult part. Legolas the stories that I have heard about you are that you are one of the most skilled in your land. That you keep to yourself and decide not to converse with many others. Do not be too alarmed." He added this because he saw the look on the yound prince's face. When the look calmed down, Elrond decided to get to the bottom of the situation.

"Now, since we have that out of the way, will you please explain to me what happened outside."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"He ATTACKED YOU?" Elrohor shrieked slightly when Haldir told them what happened.

"Yes, he kind of freaked out. I do not know what came over him," Haldir stted plainly while thinking about it.

I do. Tithrawyn told himself. He hated when Legolas got this way. He is so secretive of his past. He likes to keep it private. I know what happened in Lorien all those years ago. I shouldn't have let Haldir tell the story. It's all my fault. But those twins kept egging him on that I have a feeling he would have told them anyway.

Elladan sat there on a bench and began to observe Tithrawyn. Why do I have the feeling that he is not telling us everything that we ask of him?

At that moment all four boys attention swirved to the door of the study at which Legolas began to exit out of.

"Once again, my lord I am very sorry for the disrubstance and my behavior," they heard him say lightly to their father. In response they saw their father smile and place one arm gently on the younger elf's shoulder. After that both of them abruptly left.

"Haldir," Elrond beckoned as he opened his door once more. Haldir went immediately and shut the door.

It was late. Legolas knew this but yet he felt no need for sleep and decided to climb one of the giant trees in the garden. He began to sing quietly. His mind began to wonder as he looked up at the stars. What a beautiful sight? He sighed briefly then continued singing. How the times have past when beings forget to look at the stars and observe them for the beauty that they withhold. All the stars look the same but yet each of them hold a unique quality.

"What are you singing about?" a voice asked quietly below him.

Legolas withdrew from his trance and glanced below to meet the gaze of Arwen.

"The stars," Legolas answered quietly.

"Yes, they are beautiful," Arwen stated as she gazed upon them herself and then returned her attention to the prince. "I heard what happened earlier."

Legolas turned and looked at her while searching for some form of expression on her face.

"Actually it was kind of hard not to hear since all of you boys made so much noise," she laughed.

"I'm sorry," he stated next while he still looked at her.

"It's fine. We are use to that kind of disruptness around here sometimes especially since my brothers are the way they are," she chuckled slightly. He smiled in response.

"It's late," he whispered but she heard and just looked at him.

"Yes, it is. The day went by fast," she said lightly as she kept her gaze upon him.

"Yes, and now the darkness reigns," he calmly stated and looked at the stars once more.

At this Arwen raised her eyebrow slightly, she had never heard anyone say that before. Since she met the prince she found him intriguing to talk to about things especially when they seemed insignificant. She was about to say something when she noticed him still looking at her. I wonder what he's thinking about?

"Do you like being called a princess or the daughter of Elrond?" he inquired out of the blue.

"Well I do not really get called that around here but I do know what you mean. I do not really pay attention to it," Arwen admitted.

"I guess I would probably be the only prince that does not want to acknowledge the fact that he is a prince," Legolas whispered but he said it loud enough so that Arwen picked it up and looked at him.

You're not the only one around here denying your heritage, Arwen silently thought. Yet again she was going to say something but Legolas' actions stopped her when he gradually landed onto the ground right next to her and looked at her.

"I think I should be getting my rest now, nice talking to you," Legolas said as he slightly bowed then left. She looked after in while in a state of wonder. I think I just made a friend.
