Song For None
~
Elrond knocked on Elladan's door and both of his sons emerged.
"Come with me, Rivendell may be under attack and I want you safe." Elrond hurried them out the door.
"Father, I want to fight!" Elladan demanded.
"No! Listen to me, Legolas, Nuquer, and Ven are missing. I have no idea of why but we cannot risk having you two as well as Maik being captured!" Elrond said sternly and turned to led them back to his room where Maik and Vebor were waiting nervously for someone else to return the them.

Brea ordered his men to get into small groups and sneak into Rivendell.
Legolas cursed their cowardly approach and once again strained against his bonds. Legolas's arm caught a knot in the tree and he felt the rope move a little. Legolas kept rubbing his arm against the knot and felt a small fray from the ropes. Legolas silently thanked the Valar and the tree and kept rubbing.
Brea's men started to move out. In all the commotion no one noticed Legolas slowly breaking his bonds.
Legolas kept rubbing and suddenly the rope broke off as though some one had cut it. Legolas turned to see if someone had come up behind him without noticing but no one was there.
Nuquer's bonds also suddenly fell as though someone had cut them and Ven's fell in the same way.
Legolas caught Nuquer's eye and gave her a look that said not to move yet. Nuquer and Ven waited until Legolas would give the signal.
Legolas waited until Brea was consumed with giving orders to his men and gave a signal for Nuquer and Ven to make a run through the trees by their side.
Nuquer and Ven bolted into the trees and Legolas followed. Legolas caught up with Nuquer and Ven and urged them on towards Elrond's house.
The three didn't stop running until they saw the back entrance of Elrond's colossal house.
"Go!" Legolas urged once again and the three ran into the gates closing it behind them.
"Where's Elrond?!" Nuquer looked around not seeing any guards and headed towards Elrond's chambers.
The three met no one in the halls but stopped at Elrond's door.
Nuquer rapped on the door quickly and waited until someone opened.
Vebor opened the door and was pointing an arrow directly at Nuquer.
"NUQUER!" A voice called out from inside the door and Maik ran to embrace Nuquer.
"Maik! I'm so glad to see you again!" Nuquer cried into Maik's shoulder as the two hugged.
"Legolas! How did you escape!?" Elrond came into the room.
"The men are attacking Rivendell soon!" Legolas exclaimed ignoring Elrond's question.
"Vebor, are all the guards ready for battle?!" Elrond turned with a look of apprehension on his face.
"Yes, sir." Vebor answered looking just as apprehensive as Elrond. Elrond let out a frustrated sigh then suddenly left the room.
"Ven, I've never been so happy to see anyone in my life!" Elrohir exclaimed and ran to her and pull her into his arms.
The two said nothing but hugged each other for some time.
No one said a word but let them have their moment.
The six young elfes sat on Elrond's bed basking in the glory of being reunited.
Vebor sat in a chair to take in the sight of the six happy elfes.
~
Brea's men began to slowly make their way into Rivendell and make their silent attack.
~
Elrond and Thranduil's guards were also making their way out of Rivendell to find the men and hold off their assault.
~
Elrond made his way to Thranduil's room and lightly knocked on the door.
When Thranduil answered he looked ragged and tired.
"Thranduil, I have something to show you." Elrond said simply and led him back to his own chambers.
Elrond opened his door and Thranduil looked inside.
"Father!" Legolas jumped up off the bed and ran for his father.
The two embraced and Thranduil held his son out to look at him.
"I'm so happy you're ok." Thranduil looked as if he could cry.
