DISCLAIMER: They are not mine, you know it.
Author Notes: English is not my mother language, sorry for the mistakes. I know that elves don't get sick, or feel the weather (cold or hot) but in this story they do. And for the question: What a sweatdrop means... it's kind of difficult to explain. If you could see some mangas (Japanese comics) it would be more clear. It's when someone acts or says something absurd or weird or even funny and the others just stared at him like saying "gods, that was weird" or "gods, I haven't hear anything"
PLEASE REVIEW I will really appreciate it. If you are a fanfic writer you know what a review means. So please do it.
Chapter III
They were running trying to find shelter from the rain. It was raining very hard, and it was cold. But despite the inconveniences they were laughing. At last they found a cave, and after making sure it was empty, they started a fire and sat one close to the other.
"I told you" Elladan said in a good mood "Now we are wet"
"Come on. The last time you didn't complain"
"No, he was very busy trying to explain father why Mithrandir had a shorter and bad cut beard" The three laughed at the thought
" I'm freezing. Are you not?" Legolas asked. The twins nodded
"It would be better if we take of the cloaks" said Elladan
"is that a proposition?" asked Elrohir seductively, Legolas chuckled
"Oh no dear brother, how can you think something like that?" They extended their cloaks in the floor next to the fire laughing
" Let's go to sleep. I don't think it's necessary to take guards, do you?" Elrohir said laying next to his brother and resting his head on his lap
" No, it's safe here. Anyway we will be able to listen if something gets near" Legolas answered siting next to Elladan too and resting his head on his shoulder
"Great, again I'm the one who takes the pillow role" Elladan joyfully complain putting one arm in Legolas' waist and the other in his twin's back. The younger elves laughed
"That's because you are the fluffy one" teased Legolas
"WHAT?! Legolas say that again" But Legolas was already peacefully asleep with an innocent smile. Elrohir chuckled and went to sleep too. At last Elladan did the same.
It was few hours before dawn when something woke up the Mirkwood prince. It were voices, he was sure; and they weren't elvish
"Humans..." he thought. When he lift his head he saw Elladan awoke too, and Elrohir sitting down.
"They aren't so far..." whispered Elladan
"...and they are heading here" finished Elrohir. Legolas nodded.
"What we do now?"
"Nothing, let's sit here next to the fire, if they found us we shall share the cave"
Minutes passed without any change, at last a human entered the cave followed by five more.
"Elves!" he shouted when he saw the three princes
"Humans" answered Elrohir sarcastically. Legolas and Elladan turned to see him sweatdroping
"Get out" the human said coldly. Legolas glared at him angry
"We were here first. If you want to share, we don't have any objection. If you don't, go the same way you came"
"We aren't sharing anything with some curse elves"
"Listen master human, and listen carefully; we have not any troubles with you so you better calm down" Elladan said standing up annoyed. "Otherwise we are not tolerating any insult"
"Well my friends" the human turned to looked at his companions "We didn't get any orc, but we still can have three elves. Anyway, Aren't they the same? Just a little torture and..." the man didn't finished his sentence, for an arrow trespassed his throat. The men looked at the furious elves and their knifes and bows, then they took their dead companion and went out running.
" I can assure you, they will arrive at their city and will tell everyone that we attacked them, denying the shelter in a rainy dawn" Elrohir pointed
"And this is going to make the situation worse" Legolas said sighing "The arrow, anyway was well deserved"
"You have the finest aim in al Middle Earth, my friend" Legolas bowed for the compliment.
"We shall better go. The soon we arrive to LothloriƩn the better" And the three went to the road again.
They had a peaceful journey, after a week they arrived to a beautiful lake with a little waterfall. The day was warm, even hot and after been traveling in a cold weather they couldn't resist to made a stop. Legolas was standing next to the lake and the twins were laying below a tree, enjoying its shadow.
"This is so nice, just lay here" Elrohir commented. His twin nodded his agreement and opening one eye he fix it on the silvan prince
"It seems that Legolas is distracted again. Well then..." and he stood up and went to the prince side as quiet as the dust. When he was near enough he pushed his friend to the lake. Legolas, who was in fact distracted, just fell in the water with a splash. He came out after few seconds all wet and with his hair in his eyes
"Do you realize prince of Imladris that this is war?!" and saying this he ran to catch Elladan laughing. They ran until they were out of the sight of Elrohir who was laughing very hard because of the look Legolas had. After a while Legolas popped out of nowhere and he pointed to Elrohir
"Aha! I've got you. Trying to confuse me pretending been your twin"
"Legolas, no it's me, Elrohir!" But Legolas had him by the shoulder and he dropped him into the water.
"Legolas!"
"Elrhoir? Sorry I confuse you"
"You never do. You always recognizes us. What can you say to you favor?"
"The forest is beautiful!" Elrohir sweatdropped "anyway, do me a favor and hid"
"What for?"
"I want to catch your brother"
"Legolas, come on. Peace. Let's stop and enjoy the view" Elladan was shouting. When he approached the lake it was deserted.
"Come on. Where are you?" A little sound coming from the river got his attention. He went closer, and closer, and closer and suddenly Legolas jumped out of nowhere and pushed him into the water.
"You are so naive" Legolas laughed
"It's the price for spending too much time with you two" Elladan teased and grabbing Legolas wrists he pushed him into the lake too " Come now princeling" and they started palying in the water. Six hours latter, they were on the road again, happy and wet.
It took them four more weeks to reach the borders of the elven realm, but as always they were enjoying the journey despised the orcs who attacked them the second week or the dwarfs who met them on the third. They were teasing each other as usual, sharing moments like the dusk or dawn and talking about themselves to each other.
It was Irelh, a sentinel who first saw the three princes. Gasping hard he ran to find Haldir, who wasn't far.
"Sir, three persons are heading here" he told Haldir very nervous
"Are they humans or dwarfs?" Haldir asked believing that was the reason for the elf worry
"No, they are elves"
"So then why..." words were dying when realization got him. "It can't be... No, by Elbereth no! It must be a nightmare, a dream, it can't be possible"
"I'm afraid it is, sir" Haldir called another elf called Garkel
"We must go notice Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn, they need to know as soon as possible so they can take measures." When Garkel arrived Haldir told him quickly
"Tell our Lords that the worst nightmare has arrived. I will met them before they think they are alone" At this Garkel left running. Haldir didn't need to tell him of whom he was talking, the worst nightmare for Haldir were known by everyone. Garkel chuckled: Mirkwood only Prince and Imladris twin princes were coming... together.
