Why did I do it? Why? What evil thought prompted me to commit such a sin? I don't think he'll ever forgive me. I don't think I'll ever forgive myself.
~*~ Flashback ~*~
(A/n: this is in 3rd person)
Legolas lay sobbing on the bed, completely oblivious to the person (or Elf or Hobbit) watching him. Then Elrond (for that's who was watching Legolas) stepped forward into the room. Legolas at once became aware of his presence, stopped sobbing, and sat up. Elrond closed the door.
Legolas looked at Elrond suspiciously, wondering what he could want. Legolas' musings were soon interrupted, though, when Elrond spoke.
"So." Was all Elrond said. Legolas looked bewildered, though it was plain by the look in his eyes that he knew exactly what Elrond was going to say.
"So. Prince Legolas of Mirkwood has fallen in love. With a man."
Legolas looked down at the floor. He sighed, then stood up.
"If I fall in love, whether it be with Elf or Man or Hobbit, I do not think it is your place to lecture me." He said quietly, yet the fire in his eyes showed how much he really wanted to pummel Elrond until the older Elf was screaming and crying for mercy.
"That may be, yet I am taking the liberty of writing to your father, King Thranduril. I don't suppose he'll be very happy about the situation. Until your father writes back, Legolas, I think you and Aragorn should be apart. It's for your own good. We wouldn't want you to go giving up your immortality, like Arwen." This last word he spat out, making the name seem like a disgusting swear word. Then Elrond left, slamming the door behind him.
~*~ End Flashback ~*~
(Elrond's POV again)
Why? Why did I chastise him, when I felt so pitying towards him? I could have consoled him, yet I spoke harshly. Too harshly, I fear. The Elf hasn't come out of his room for three days, ever since then… He hasn't eaten, either. I fear for his life. I must go talk with Aragorn. Perhaps the Man will know what to do, how to get Legolas to venture out of his room. Perhaps, but possibly not. What should I do?

AE: OK, how was ch. 2? Sorry to anyone who wanted Legolas/Frodo, and I'm sorry Meg (who just happens to be my muse) that this isn't a Legolas/Elrond *shudder* and that I tied you up to a chair so you wouldn't be in this chapter! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! OK well please review. I want at least 3 more good reviews of I won't continue!
