Chapter 14

Laer walked out of Estel's room laughing. She did not notice anyone near her until she ran into Legolas.

"Hello. I did not see you there," she managed in between giggles.

"What did you do and who did you do it to?" Legolas asked, knowing Laer all too well.

"Estel. In his room, go look for yourself," she laughed.

"I suppose since I can tell you have no intention of helping him, I will go see what is the matter." He kissed Laer on the forehead and went to find her foster brother.

When he arrived, Legolas saw Aragorn hanging from the ceiling. "She is in so much trouble," Estel grumbled.

"I'll bet," Legolas chuckled.

"Leg, this is NOT funny!"

"On the contrary, it is quite amusing."

"Would you just please get me down?" Estel frowned.

"Alright." Legolas cut Estel from the ceiling, only for him to land unceremoniously on his butt.

"So what do you say to a good archery contest?" Estel asked.

"Are you mad?! I just cut you from the ceiling and you want to have and archery contest! You don't even care that your foster sister had you tied to ceiling and left you?!"

"I need to blow off some steam before I confront her, otherwise I might say something I'll regret. Not to mention, I love to beat your royal butt at archery," he smirked.

"You? Beat me?" Legolas laughed, "You can try."

"I will, you'll see."

Legolas and Estel made their way to the archery ranges after grabbing their weapons. Both were gloating about how the other would lose. However, neither would win this competition for someone else was practicing at the archery ranges and eager for some competition.

(A/N: I thought of ending the chapter here but since I haven't updated in a while, I'll give ya'll a little more...)

Laer had been practicing ever since Legolas had decided to cut Estel from the ceiling. She was really bored, firing arrow after arrow. Then she heard two familiar voices coming towards her. Hmm... An archery contest? I think I feel like creaming them both! Haha! Laer crept behind a bush until her brother and lover arrived.

"If only Laer were here to see me bet you friend," Estel smiled, "she would definitely enjoy herself."

"But I'd much rather beat the two of you," Laer giggled, emerging from her hiding palce.

"Alright, let's get this over with," Legolas smirked.

Hours later the trio returned to the palace. "How much longer are we going to have to listen to her?" Estel frowned, "Just because she beat both of us by twelve."

Legolas only shrugged, "Maybe she'll forget about it by tomorrow."

"Yeah right!! We're in for a long week."


Review Please!!
