DISCLAIMER: They are not mine, you know it.

Author Notes: English is not my mother language, sorry for the mistakes. I'm really sorry for taking so long, but since now I will update more frequent, it's a promise.

            I don't know what position Haldir exactly has (captain, guardian of the borders, general, counselor (I really doubt it)...) but for me he is the captain of Lothlorién army.

Thanks a lot for the wonderful reviews! They really mean a lot to me, keep doing it!

Lady of Legolas: When I saw the movie "The Two Towers" I really got very upset, how could they do that to Haldir??!!! I just knew that you were going to be more than upset. So, I just wanted to tell you because of that I plan to write a fic dedicate to the great (and certainly NOT DEAD) Haldir as soon as I finish this one. Hope you keep reading my stories!

PLEASE REVIEW I will really appreciate it. If you are a fanfic writer  you know what a review means. So please do it. And if you are not, do it anyway and make a girl happy (very, very happy)

Chapter V

            Glorfindel helped Haldir to reach the guestrooms of Elrond's house since the Lorién elf was near collapsing from exhaustion. Neither of them said a word, but Glorfindel looked constantly at Haldir with concern for as they made their way, Haldir was leaning more and more on him to the point that few moments before they reach their destination Glorfindel was practically lifting Haldir. When they entered the room Haldir sighed deeply as Glorfindel helped him to lay down on the bed.

"Lord Elrond will come soon" Glorfindel said standing next to the bed with the clear intention of stay there

"Is he with the prince?" Haldir asked, the other elf nodded and Haldir relaxed. Silence fall between the two and after some minutes Haldir turned to look at Elrond's counselor "Don't you want to know what happened?"

"I do, but it's better to ask when you are alright"

"I AM well. Just tired"

"Very tired not to say exhausted" Glorfindel said a little amused. Haldir looked at him with eyes that could kill a Balrog "Sorry" Glorfindel said with a little grin and looked to the window, Haldir was going to say something when a knock on the door interrupted him and Elladan entered

"How is he?" the older twin asked thinking that the captain of Lothlorién was already resting

"Still awake, young one" Haldir said with a tired grin. In official matters he called the twins, lords, but otherwise he treat them very familiar for he had been one of their tutors when they were studying in Lorién as well as a friend.

"Young?" Elladan said pouting "We are not young anymore Haldir"

"Younger than me always, and not by merely hundred of years" Elladan raised his hands defeated.

"Anyway you must be resting"

"Not until I know how is Legolas"

"Legolas will recover Haldir, worry not" Elrond said entering the room "Will you rest now?"

"My lord!" Haldir said surprised and Elrond smiled

"We leave you for now. When you recover your strength we will talk" and saying this he pulled Elladan out of the room. Glorfindel followed them closing the door behind him.

Before the door was totally close, Haldir was already asleep.

"How is Legolas, Dad?" Elladan asked and Elrond smiled for his son's knowledge of him

"Not well. The worst had passed, but he is still very weak and I'm afraid that he had lost a lot of blood"

"But what were they doing?" Glorfindel said concerned "Traveling alone in this dangerous times"

"We won't know until they told us" The lord of Rivendel said sighing "I'll be in my study if anything happens" bowing Elladan and Glorfindel watched him leave

"I must go" the blond elf said, but Elladan grabbed him by the arm

"Glorfindel I want to talk with you"

"Sure young one, what is it?" Elladan rolled his eyes. No matter that they were two millennia old, they were still one of the younger generation of elves. "Well, it could be worse" he thought "we could have Legolas' age" (1)

"Not here" the twin said "Lets go outside" Glorfindel looked at Elladan puzzled but followed him anyway. They went through the beautiful gardens and sat near a fountain more or less far away the main house

"So?" Glorfindel asked

"Have you tell him?" Elladan said after a moment of silence. Glorfindel looked more puzzled at the gray eyed  elf. Said elf sighed deeply

"Have you tell Haldir that you love him?"

"WHAT?" Glorfindel said almost falling into the fountain

"You don't think that we haven't notice, right?"

"Notice what? Elladan you are hallucinating, I think that the cushion your brother threw to you hit you worse than we thought" Elladan pouted, but immediately turned serious

"Glorfindel, please listen to me. Maybe Elrohir and I are mere children to the majority of elves but we have grown up, and we know about certain thinks. We have seen how your eyes shine when Haldir is mention or how you act when he is near."

"Oh. And how is it?"

"The same way Elrohir's eyes shine when someone talks about Legolas" Glorfindel remain silent and he was going to stand up and go, but he thought it better and sat again

"Indeed I was wrong to considered you mere elflings." He said serious but started laughing suddenly "Do you know how ironic is to have this conversation with one elf who I see as my son? Very well then, since it will be pointless to deny it I won't do it. I love Haldir" he sighed deep before continuing "I love Haldir and answering your first question, no, I haven't tell him anything"

"But why? Are you expecting him to make the first move?" again gentle laugher

"No, young one" he said emphasizing the word young "I haven't tell him because it will be useless" and his eyes turned very sad "You know better than anyone that Haldir is deeply in love with the prince of Mirkwood, although Legolas' heart belongs to your twin. No matter what I said he will never love me in return and to make things worse, I can't even resent Legolas for I care for him as I care for you and Elrohir" Glorfindel had confessed much more than Elladan had thought, and for few seconds he didn't know what to say.

"You are not..." he started hesitantly

"Dying for a broken heart?" the older elf finished for him "No, no yet. To tell the true I just realize about my feelings towards him about fifty years ago or so."

"And what are you going to do?"

"I don't know. I really don't know" Glorfindel said looking at the cloudy sky. It will rain that afternoon. The blond elf sighed shaking his head "Does Elrohir know about this too?" Elladan nodded and Glorfindel smiled and was going to add something else when Lindir approached to them, anguish in his face.

"Lord Elladan, Glorfindel you must come. Something horrible has happened"

"What is it?" Glorfindel asked

"The eastern patrol found a Lothlorién elf, an errant we think"

"You think? Is he unconscious?" Elladan said feeling more concerned with each second

"No my lord, I'm afraid he is dead. Some of us are guarding where he was found waiting for orders"

"Have you tell my father?"

"No my lord. It seems that prince Legolas got very ill, your father and brother are with him and ordered not to be interrupt"

"Legolas..." Elladan whispered concerned for his best friend. "And why didn't you bring the body?" he said aloud now

"Well... the body... he was tear into pieces" Elladan and Glorfindel interchange horrified glances

TBC....
