Innocence
Disclaimer: I don't own anything!!!!!!!
A/N: This idea came to me while playing a game on a different site. I thought it would be new and different if I were to define "innocence" in a new way. If you liked it, send me reviews! If not, well, sorry for not making something you quite like. This is my first fanfic ever! Don't be mad at my mistakes, please!
Chapter One
Legolas Greenleaf stood silently under the gray colored clouds. His eyes were faced to the ground, as a pair of Elves walked by with a coffin. This coffin held Legolas' mother.
She had been knocked off the braches of the tall Red Oak, the tallest branches of the tallest tree. Nobody knew why she was up there, except for Legolas. He had been climbing up, when she had caught him. After being placed on the ground a foul wind blew and lifted Legolas' cloak into the utmost branches of the tree. She had gone to retrieve it. She had fallen.
His eyes flitted upwards to his Mother's tranquil form. She was beautiful, long golden locks, a white dress, and flowers sprinkled on her body.
The Elves lowered her into the ground, taking the heavy top of the monument closed the woman's body from the light.
There were many words spoken, but Legolas did not hear. He saw and heard only winds and their effects. He watched the monument. It was of a woman, with her hands out stretched as though she was welcoming many people. Legolas felt tears in his eyes.
A securing arm stretched over Legolas' chest, as if holding him back. He looked up into the face of Halafen, his older sister, she was crying.
"Let it out, little one, let it out." She told him, he nuzzled into her stomach and let the tears flow silently from his eyes.
King Thranduil stopped talking and looked at his family for a moment, he saw his little one, Legolas, the guilty one. He was angry at everyone and everything right then, but even more angry at Legolas, it was his fault.
Chapter Two
Disclaimer: See first chap.
At dinner that night Legolas sat staring at his food. He listened to the sound of raindrops, and smelled the sent of his food.
"Eat, Legolas." Halafen told Legolas. She was the oldest girl, and thought she knew best.
Legolas looked up at them. Finnov was about 12, and Halafen was about 15, and Legolas was 8. All the 'men' were out hunting.
Legolas wasn't hungry, he wanted his mother back. He pushed his plate away and ran a hand over his head.
"Legolas, eat, now." King Thranduil was rather annoyed at the second, but Legolas did not know this.
"But I'm not hungry, may I just go to bed?"
"Errrrrrr!" The King growled.
"I'll take that as a no." Legolas bowed his head and continued to stare at the floor.
"Fine! You may go up to bed!"
Legolas heard the anger in his father's voice and decided to go quickly.
"Father, stop scarring Legolas. He's afraid enough of you already." Halafen began.
"Be quiet!" The King spat.
Legolas sook refuge in his room. All was quiet. Legolas hated the silence. He began to whimper slightly.
He closed his eyes and remembered his mother's death. She screamed and fell. It's all my fault. I should be the one dead. His eyes opened and tears fell from his eyes, streaming down his face. He cried.
I should be dead.
"Leave poor Legolas alone!" Halafen was now screaming. His father was in a poor mood and was approaching Legolas' quarters. "He did nothing! He's just an innocent child!"
I'm not as innocent as she thinks. Not everyone is innocent. Legolas thought, the door opened.
Halafen was holding desperately onto her father's arm. The King was making his way towards Legolas. Legolas was afraid and absent mindedly began to shake.
Halafen fell to the ground and grabbed hold to the King's legs causing him to trip. "Get off me you stupid child!" Halafen obeyed.
"Don't hurt him, hurt me instead!"
"You are very brave, but he must pay his own prices."
"NO!" Halafen shouted and flung herself on top of Legolas protectively, cowering beneath their father.
A scream echoed down the hallway to the King's ears. He turned and walked out of the door, looking about he turned and yelled, "Get into the closet! The prisoners have escaped!"
Halafen and Legolas climbed into the closet and closed the door, it was dark inside, and Halafen was holding Legolas so hard, he passed out, and that's where we'll leave them.
A/N So, what do ya think? I'm sorry these chaps are short, but I'm trying to put the parts up quickly. THANX!
