DISCLAIMER: They are not mine, you know it.

Author Notes: Thanks for the reviews! I really appreciate it, keep doing please, and you will have good Karma (you know, it will return three times)  English is not my mother language, sorry for the mistakes.  This is kind of an A/U, many things haven't happened in the book or movie, they are just my speculations ^_^ and something you need to know is that elves accept homosexuality and that Elladan and Elrohir are about four hundred years older than Legolas.

PLEASE REVIEW I will really appreciate it. If you are a fanfic writer  you know what a review means. So please do it.

Chapter II

"You are going to pay, curse elf!" the dwarf was shouting so hard that all the people who where near turned to see him.  He was fast for been a dwarf and carrying such heavy ax, but Legolas was faster, even with his injures, and went out the way; but the dwarf was not going to give up so easily, so he attacked again and again and again.

Legolas suddenly felt dizzy, the world was becoming unfocussed, and he started feeling weak. The twins, that were trying to contain the other dwarfs for help his companion, noticed it but weren't able to approach him because of the angry dwarf's attacks.

" Wait, master dwarf"  the prince said, he knew that he was going to collapse if things didn't calm "You don't need to worry, for I want no harm to you. Put your weapon down"

"Never! I've told you, you are going to pay. I'm sure that I can not take revenge on your father, for he is never going to get out of Mirkwood alone, so you will take my revenge for both!"

" The prince is not alone either, dwarf" Elladan said finally next to his friend, his brother stepped at the other side of Legolas.  All the elves that were around took a step closer to the prince in a protective way.

"Stop! I will not tolerate any fight inside my realm!" Elrond, who heard all the commotion while working in his room shouted. Everyone looked up, to the window where the Lord of Rivendell was. The dwarf stopped immediately, he knew by own experience that an angry elf was a dangerous one, even if he never admitted it.

            Legolas looked at the Lord gratefully, he was exhausted and rested his hand on Elladan's shoulder seeking support, the eldest twin noticed as well as his father.

"Please come young prince, we have to talk" Legolas nodded, and although the tension didn't disappear, every one went to their business. When Legolas and the twins were on their way to the lord's chambers they passed next to the dwarf who attacked the prince, the short being was calmer, but his eyes were still shining with a deadly fire, the fire of revenge. He grabbed Legolas by his arm

"Don't think that you are safe prince, not now not ever while I or any of my kind are near you" and he let go his arm. Legolas stared at him proudly and dangerously

"Nobody menaces me, I didn't come here looking for troubles, but if you are determinate to fight with me then we will fight" with that he turned around and left.

"You went too far Gloin" a dwarf named Batrol said looking at the leaving elf "You know how dangerous Legolas can be as well as the twin heirs of Lord Elrond"

"Elrond is not like the other elves" (1)

"But I heard that he is very fond of the prince, he sees him as another son"

"Father!" another dwarf approached running "I've heard that you were fighting with one of the curse elves that made you prisoner in Mirkwood"

"Don't worry Gimli, the fight never started. Lord Elrond prevented it" Gimli nodded

"Then, why are you bleeding?"

"I am not..." but he shut up looking at his hand, it was covered in red blood

"You grabbed the prince with that hand" Batrol pointed

"But I haven't had any weapon"

"Then the prince was already injured, and quite bad"

"Maybe that's the reason why he didn't defend himself" Gloin said thoughtfully "All what he said about not wanting troubles was a lie! He just can't fight"

"Then, we will be prepared. Next time we see him, he will pay" Gimli said a savage look in his eyes

***** 

"So that's what had happened" Elrond said after Legolas told what has happened to the Mirkwood elves while heading to Rivendell. They were in a large room in Elrond's house. Elladan, Elrohir and Legolas were sited in a large couch, the prince was between the twins, Elrond was in the main chair and next to him were Glorfindel and Erestor who had the same worry expressions. Estel was standing in a corner.

"Thanks Elbereth your injures are not deadly"  Glorfindel said "But you have lost a lot of blood and you are exhausted" Legolas' wounds were already dressed, he was changed into clean cloths, although he haven't eaten anything for he said he can't, not until the next day.

"I'm alright, thanks to Elladan and Elrohir, and to Lord Elrond too" he smiled tiredly "But why a Nazgul attacked us?"    

"That will be clear tomorrow in the Council, sorry child but I can't tell you anymore"

"I understand" his eyes were closing

"But I want to know why that dwarf attacked you" Estel said

"It is a long story. It happened thirty or thirty five years ago" Legolas said sighing "A group of dwarfs with a hobbit went into my father's realm and we held them prisoners for a while" (1)

"So the crazy dwarf is looking for revenge" Elrohir finished. Legolas rested his head on Elladan's shoulder "just a moment" he thought

"You need to be careful while that annoying race is near" Elladan felt the prince's head on his shoulder, he smiled warmly "Do you hear me Legolas?" But the fair prince was already asleep.

"Well, I think we have to finish this conversation tomorrow" Elrond said

"Will he be alright?" Erestor asked worried for the prince

"We will take him to his room" Elrhoir said while his brother lifted Legolas, and they went upstairs. Estel looked as they left a thoughtful expression in his face. One by one started leaving until main hall was empty.

Elladan laid the younger elf on the bed

"He seems so innocent, it's hard to tell that he is such a brave warrior"

"Yes" his brother agreed chuckling " He looks childish"

"I hope that he won't have any nightmares, after what he had saw it wouldn't be strange"

"Maybe we could watch him during the night"

"Good idea, I will go for blankets"

"And I will go for another chair"

Elrond looked at his sons leaving the prince's room and returning after a while carrying something, he knew what his sons meant to do and he smiled

"I'm glad that those three are such a good friends. Legolas will need their help to get trough this" and he went inside his room. In one day the council was taking place.

TBC...

Don't forget to REVIEW.

(1) The hobbit (more or less ^_^ as I've said this is kind of A/U) If you want to know what really happened read "The Hobbit" by Tolkien, of course. Just a little hint: in the book he never wrote the name of the elven king that took the dwarfs prisoners but it was Tharanduil.
