Wow. I got so many nice reviews and tips. Thank you. In return I will tell you some things. One: Does anyone know where I can find elvish words? I only know father now and that's all. Two: I am working on my spelling, I'm a horrible spell and I do have a wordmaster nearby. Also as for the grammer. I will try hard to get that right. Three: I'm trying not to sound mean but I really don't care about the ages. I know some of you want the ages right, but this is a made up story. Besides, I think it's cool to have Aragorn and Legolas as kids. More trouble. Other than all that, I thank everyone for reviewing and for giving tips.
Elladan and Elrohir walked into there rooms for the night. Their father was in the study with thranduil, descussing their trip for tomorrow, and the kids have yet been seen. That got the twins worried.
"We might as well get ourselves ready," Elladan said. He sat on his bed and just looked at his brother.
"I'm going to get those two back," Elrohir said. "When Adar leaves tomorrow, I'm going to teach our little brother a lession." He walked to the window and looked out. He saw Estel and Legolas running towards the palace. He loved is brother dearly and he thought Legolas was a great kid, but when you have those two together, you will always lose.
"I think we should sleep for now and figure everything out tomorrow." Elladan layed down on his bed and was asleep like that. Elrohir on the other hand, just stood by the window. Waiting for the morning to come.
The Next Day:
Thranduil and Elrond were waiting by the horses when they heard a scream. Then some cursing and then laughter. Thranduil looked at Elrond with amusement. They havn't even left and the kids were already making trouble.
"Are you sure Elladan and Elrohir can handle those two?" Thranduil asked. "I can always drop Legolas off at the palace and have one of the maids look after him."
"Don't be silly Thranduil. Estel needs a friend to be with. If not, he will drive the twins crazy." He also knew if Thranduil took Legolas back to the palace, Estel will follow. He looked up as two kids ran over to them, laughing and smiling.
"Alright Legolas, what did you do now?" Thranduil asked, picking his son up. Legolas just laughed. "Legolas."
"Sorry Adar," Legolas finally said.
"Estel, what did you do?" Elrond asked. He hoped to get more answers out of him than Legolas. He didn't wait for Estel to answer when he heard Elrohir and Elladan walk up to them. Elrond saw the twins were wet from head to toe. Another wake up call.
"What happened to you two?" Thranduil asked. He heard Legolas trying not to laugh.
"They tied strings to out arms during the night, which was connected to a bucket of water over our beds," Elladan explained. "When we woke up, the buckets fell on us."
"You should have seen your faces," Estel said from behind Elrond. Elrohir made his way to Elronds side and grabbed Estel by the arm.
"It seems you boys have everything under control here. Elladan, make sure Legolas practises as well as Estel."
"Yes Adar," Elladan said.
"Remember, do not let them go to far into the woods. The dwarves have found a cave at the end of our land and I don't want Estel or Legolas to find it," he said. Elrond jumped on his horse and looked at Estel. "Please don't give your brothers a hard time."
"Okay Adar, I'll try," Estel said. "We'll be good. Won't we Legolas?"
"That's right," Legolas said.
"You better," Thranduil said. He let Legolas down and got on his own horse. "We should only be gone for two weeks. If we are delayed, we'll send a messenger. You be good Legolas."
"I will Adar. Bye."
Elrond and Thranduil gave their last goodbye and left. Once they were out of eye sight, the twins grabbed Estel and Legolas by the arms.
"That was some trick," Elrohir said, picking up Estel. "That's the second time thise week you dumped water on me."
"And you, Legolas," Elladan said, picking up the elf. "Are following in his footsteps. I think a nice bath will teach you too not to dump water on your elders." He shifted the squirming elf in his arms and looked at Elrohir. "To the pound?"
"Why not."
The twins walked towards the garden and stopped at the pound. Elladan held Legolas over the pound and smiled. Legolas was kicking and hitting Elladan to let him go, but the elf had a firm grip on him. Elrohir did the same to Estel and together they dropped the kids in the pound, laughing. Estel and Legolas looked up at them and then at each other. They we not going to let the twins get them that easy.
While the twins were laughing, Estel pointed to a tree branch right above Legolas. He point up and Legolas knew what to do. As quietly as they could, Estel helped Legolas reached the branch and soon, Legolas was hiden in the trees. The twins were laughing so much, they didn't notice. He then jumped from branch to branch until he was right behind the twins.
"That was fun," Elladan said when he stopped laughing. "Come on Estel, we have to get you two out. He looked at Estel and realized Legolas wasn't there. "Estel, where is Legolas?"
"I don't know," he lied. He was trying so hard not laugh. The twins looked around to see if Legolas got away but they couldn't find the elf.
Legolas poked his head out from the tree and saw Estel giving him the okay. Legolas's head went back up into the tree. Legolas grabbed the branch with both hands and swung down, kicking Elladan and Elrohir in the back, sending them into the pound with a splash.
"We got them!" Estel said. He jumped out of the water and Legolas dropped from the tree next to him. Both kids were laughing. "Now that's fun."
"You little..." Elrohir started but Elladan cut him off.
"Elrohir, calm yourself. It's just a game to them." Elladan stood up and helped his brother up. "Very nicely done Legolas," Elladan said.
"Yeah. I'll give you that," Elrohir said, getting out of the water. "If we are done with your "game" lets get dryed off and get practising."
"Alright," the kids said. Estel and Legolas ran ahead of the brothers. When they got to their rooms, they changed and went back outside to practise. They ran pass the twins and headed towards the practising field.
"Estel, Legolas, you stay at the field until we come," Elrohir warned them.
"Okay," Estel yelled back. "Come on Legolas, I know a short cut threw the woods." He grabbed Legolas hand and turned into th woods. They came to stop so they could get their things secured. Estel only had his daggers, since Elrond took his sward from him when he cut Elladan's hair with it. Legolas put his daggers in his belt and his bow around his chest.
"why did we take the short cut?" Legolas asked, looking around the woods. "The field was not far."
"I know. This is another game I like to play. Hide-and-go-seek. I do it all the time on my way to the fields." Estel looked around and smiled. "They don't even know the short cut anyway."
"I hope you're right." Legolas jumped on a branch and sat down. "Come on up, you can see everything from here."
"Really?" Estel climbed up just as Legolas heard someone coming.
"Hurry up Estel. I hear someone." Legolas pulled his friend up just as that someone walked under their branch. There was two of them. Both elves, but not the twins.
"It's just Nightfall and Crystel," Estel said. He knew the two because they always had to watch him when the twins weren't around. "Lets just stay here and see of they notice us."
It didn't take long and the two elves walked away. Estel jumped down and Legolas followed. Estel just smiled. He found his new hiding place. Just then, he heard something fly by his ear. He turned his head just as Legolas reached out and grabbed it. He looked at what Legolas held in his hand. An arrow.
"Very good," a voice said. They turned around and saw Elrohir put his bow down. "Very good."
"Elrohir!" Estel yelled. "That almost hit me!"
"But you moved when you heard the sound and Legolas caught it before it hit something." He walked towards the kids and grabbed them by the arm. "That was also a lession for the both of you. What if that was an enemy? If Nightfall hadn't told me you were somewhere near here, I would still be looking for you two."
"Sorry Elrohir," they said. They let Elrohir drag them out of the woods and headed for the field. Elladan was waitting for them to arrive. When the twins found out Estel and Legolas wasn't at the the field, Nightfall and Crystel came from the woods and told them the kids were somewhere in the woods, but didn't know where. Elrohir went after them and Elladan stayed behind in case they came out.
"You found them? Where were they?"
"In the woods, hiding."
"Alright, you two had you fun of scaring us. Now we need to practise." Elladan took Legolas by the arm and showed him where they were going to practise, while Elrohir went the other side of the field. After four hours they were done. Estel had cuts and bruises on his arms. Legolas had a long cut on the side of face where Elladan cut him with his sward.
"I want you two to go up to your rooms and get cleaned up. We're going to get dinner ready and then it's off to bed," Elrohir said. They watched the kids drag themselves up to their rooms.
"Now that was have peace and quiet for awhile," Elladan said," we can get things ready for dinner. Those kids are tired to even play a joke on us."
"I'll agree with you there." The twins got dinner ready and as they put the food on the table, the kids came down. "Alright, eat up," Elrohir said. He sat down on the other side of Legolas and just watched the kids eat. He wondered how long it would take Legolas to realize... He didn't finish his thought when Legolas stopped eating and started coughing.
"What's wrong Legolas?" Estel asked. He saw Legolas take a long drink of his water before he answered.
"Hot."
"Hot?" Elladan looked at Legolas. He didn't remember putting anything hot in the food. He looked over at Elrohir and saw he was trying to keep a straight face. He should've known. He used the old hot sauce Estel used on him.
"Why don't I go fix you new plate." Elladan took Legolas's plate and went back into the kitchen and helped the maid. While he was gone, Legolas's throat was still burning. Estel gave him his water and looked at Elrohir.
"That was mean. You can't do that."
"Why not?"
"Cause I did it. You can't do that to Legolas."
"Why not?"
"Cause Legolas didn't do it. You can't do that to someone who didn't do it to you." (confused yet?)
"You say so." Elrohir just went back to eating when Elladan came in with new food. In silence they ate until it was time for them to go to bed.
"Now, before you go to bed, lets make a promise," Elladan said. "No more water in the morning and no more putting hot sauce in food. Deal?"
"Deal," they said. Estel and Legolas went to their rooms. Elladan and Elrohir went to the study to rest before they went to bed.
"I think this two weeks will be okay," Elladan said.
"Same here."
The twins truned their heads to the door when it opened with a slam. In came Nightfall, worry all over his face. He ran over to them, breathing hard.
"Calm down Nightfall," Elrohir said. "What happened?"
"Orcs. Orcs have gotten pass the guards and they just entered Rivendell," he breathed out. "There are about twenty or so and they just killed the three guards."
"Alright, get your best men ready," Elladan said. "Elrohir, go to Estels and Legolas's room and stay there. Make sure nothing happens to them."
"Those kids have seen Orcs. Right?" Nightfall asked, following Elladan down the hall.
"Yes, but they never been in battle with them and I don't want them to start now." Elladan grabbed his bow and daggers and ran outside with Nightfall. Elrohir ran upstairs and quietly opened the kids door. He just stood there in the doorway, not waking them and hopeing his brother can handle all this.
Elladan and Elrohir walked into there rooms for the night. Their father was in the study with thranduil, descussing their trip for tomorrow, and the kids have yet been seen. That got the twins worried.
