Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Lord of the ring charachters they all belong to J.R.R Tolkien.
Summary: Everyone who doesn't live in the palace thinks that little Legolas is lucky to be a prince... but they
couldn't know how his father treats him.
Note: Some things in here might not be acurate to the books but, bear with me. I needed to change it to fit my
fic, Like Legolases brothers do not exist.

Chapter two.
THREE MONTHS LATTER...
It was late in the afternoon when prince Legolas headed home. He had taken a different route this time and
was enjoying the new scenery.
Everything had gone well today for the young elf. His teacher had praised him for his work and he couldn't wait to
go home an tell Bear about today.
Oh, and missy too! Missy was the only one the little elf really trusted and she was the closest thing to a
mommy he had ever had.
With out her, he surely would not survive his father's temper.
Finally arriving at the palace, he went in and headed to his room.
The small elf jumped on his bed. Rummaging through his bed sheets for the small teddy bear missy had given him
for his second birthday.
His search unsuccessful, he jumped gracefully off the bed
and crouched down to look underneath.
Finding nothing, panicked started to kick in. 'Were could Bear have gone to?' he asked himself
He ran out of his room and straight to Missy's small room in the servant's part of the palace.
" Missy! Missy I can't find Bear, he's not were he's 'spose to be!"
Missy was sitting on her own small bed, reading something. She looked up as little Legolas ran into her room,
breathing hard and eyes flashing. He grabbed onto her sleeve and pulled at her insistently,
" Missy you have to come, Bear's gone!"
Missy rose, and they both headed to the prince's room in search of the missing bear.
By the end of their search, they both came out empty handed.
Missy shook her head. " I just don't know were he went, none of the other maids would take him and the only other
person who came in here today was your father. . . Legolas wait!"
She sighed as the little prince raced in the direction of the king's private chamber. Legolas burst into his father's
room, desperation drowning out all thoughts of reason.
"What in the. . . ! " The king was more than surprised at the sudden intrusion.
His son stood there, accusing emerald eyes staring back at him.
"Daddy, where's Bear? I need him back. "
The king relaxed, realizing what had happened. He had expected this kind of reaction from the boy.
He went back to writing.
"That old rag, I took it from your room while you were at school. You're far too old to be playing with such nonsense. "
He said crisply.
With out looking up, he took out a silver key and opened the first drawer on his desk. He showed the boy the Bear
before locking it away again.
"You are not to keep any more of these. . .things, is that understood?"
He glanced up at his son. The child' eyes were ablaze and he looked positively horrified at this.
" Daddy. . .please, bear will be sad and lonely in there. He needs me!"
" Is that understood!" The king said sharply. The boy lowered his eyes.
" Yes " he whispered before running out of the room, tears stinging his eyes.
That night as Missy went to tuck the prince in, she noticed his unusually depressed mood. She sat down next to her
golden haired angel and pulled him into a warm embrace.
" Don't worry, I'll get you another bear. ." The boy shook his head.
" Daddy said I can't have a bear anymore. . .to old. . . 'sides, It wouldn't be the same. . . Oh missy, poor
bear he's all alone in daddy's room. . . I miss him so much"
She tucked the small elf into his soft bed, stroking his soft hair in a soothing motion. " Don't worry, everything will be
all right. Were did you say bear was? "
Bright emerald eyes stared back at her.
" In Daddy's desk. Why? "
" Just go to sleep, everything will be all right."
She left the room, determined to get the bear back. In all her 120 years she had worked for the royal family, she
had never met a more terrible king than Thranduil.
It was beyond her how anyone, especially a father, could treat such a sweet, innocent boy of such a young age the
way the he did.
She had seen the bruises and cuts. She new. This was just the last straw.
She would get the child's bear back.

Missy sneaked quietly into the king's room, knowing that he would not go to bed for hours. She spotted the large
writing desk in the corner and approached it.
It looked as if the drawer was locked. The key had to be around here somewhere.
She looked around and spotted a heavy key chain hanging on the wall. Taking it down she proceeded to try various
keys on the lock. After several attempts, the lock clicked open.
'Success!' She took out the bear and turned to go but froze.
There at the door stood the king.
He did not look happy.
The king strode into the room ,face alight with fury, and grabbed Missy by the arm. He pulled her out into the hallway.
"Guards! Get her out of this palace. I never want to see this woman again!"
" At least let me say farewell to him. . ." she begged. The king ignored her.
The guards came around the corner and took the elf woman by the arms.
" Throw her out. . ." He ordered, barely containing his anger.
" Noooo! Missy!" A voice echoed down the long hall.
Legolas had been asleep when he had been awaken by yells from his father. He had followed the sounds downstairs
and was terrified by what he saw. His father had just ordered that Missy be thrown out!
'I will never see her again!' he thought.
And for a child of five, that was a very scary thought.
He tried to run to her but his father reached out and snagged his tunic, pulling Legolas to him and wrapping a
strong arm around his waist. Legolas struggled with all his might, but he could not pull away from his father.
" Daddy. . . please, no! Don't make Missy go away. . . Daddy. . ."
" Shut your mouth boy"
Legolas obeyed, but he couldn't stop the tears from falling. He watched as the big men threw Missy out into the
cold darkness. The Large doors were closed and locked.
His father let him go and he rushed to the doors, trying to pull them open.
He couldn't, so he just started pounding on them with his small fist, sobbing for Missy.
Ignoring the distress of his only child, King Thorien left the hallway and headed for his room.
Legolas pounded on the unyielding wood until his small hands were bruised.
Finally exhausted, the little elf slid down to the floor and fell asleep, tears drying on his cheeks.
