Song For None

Elladan, Elrohir, and Maik were all assembled on Elladan's bed waiting impatiently for some kind of information or orders.
"I hate this, waiting around, not knowing what is going on!" Elladan grumbled looking forlornly around the room for some answer as to what he should do.
"I know, I want to do something but there is nothing we can do." Elrohir sighed and flopped back onto the bed.
"Why can't we help find them?" Maik asked quietly knowing the answer.
"Because, we can't risk also getting captured or something like that." Elladan mimicked the tone of his father when he answered that same question earlier.
"I'm tempted to ran away and look myself again." Maik exclaimed.
"Yea, because you know that worked so well last time." Elrohir mumbled dejectedly.
Just then there was a knock at the door. Vebor walked in the room and gave Elrohir and Maik an inquisitive look as he saw them both lying on the bed next to each other. Vebor shook his head and spoke.
"I'm sorry I have no news but Elrond requested that you all go into the dining room for dinner and he wants to talk to you." Vebor waited until the three young elfes started for the door before he turned and left.

Elrond was already sitting, waiting for the elfes when they entered.
"Good, evening." Elrond motioned for the three to take a seat.
Maik sat across from Elrond. She found herself wanting to have an older elf in her immediate view; it made her feel more protected.
"How are you doing Lord Elrond?" Maik asked politely after she noticed the perplexed look on his face.
"I'm a little worried. King Thranduil has been notified of his son's capture and he is on his way." Elrond sighed and took a long drink from his cup.
"Father, can we go with the scouts to look for the men?" Elladan wanted to wait until later to ask this question but it was burning inside of him.
"I knew you would ask sooner or later, my son, but unfortunately I have to say no." Elrond looked at his son.
Maik was secretly relieved that Elladan and Elrohir wouldn't be going out again. She knew that it wouldn't turn out good if they went.
"Alright father." Elladan looked down at his full plate of food and new that this time he would have to listen to what his father had said. He wanted to go but knew that this was no time to disobey his father.
Elrohir patted his twin's arm understanding his pain.
"I have been thinking of reasons for why these men would want to capture you elfes and I think it might be a way for them to somehow take control of Rivendell or Mirkwood or possibly in Lothlorien. I haven't quite figured out why though." Elrond explained to the three. The young elfes sat in silence taking in what Elrond was saying.

Legolas had fallen asleep in his cell when the door opened and woke him from his fitful sleep. One of the men threw a dark figure into the room and slammed the door.
The figure flung itself at the door. Legolas sat up and took a good look at the figure pounding and screaming at the door.
The figure turned suddenly when Legolas moved to stand up.
"Get back!" The figure was a girl. A young girl with waist length golden hair.
"Hold on! I'm not going to hurt you! I'm being held captive. I'm going to take a wild guess and say you are too." Legolas put his hands up to show he meant no harm.
"What is your name?" The girl seemed to calm down a bit and Legolas noticed tears streaked her cheek.
"Uh, Le-Dimlond." Legolas thought it safer to say his fake name to her.
"I'm Antoinette." The girl replied looking around the room.
Legolas wondered what purpose she had here. She was not an elf, maybe she was the princess of some land.
