Okay, I got two good reviews so I'm continuing this. YAY!
Chapter 2 ::In the Great Hall.::
Tara held her son's tiny hand and followed Legolas to the great hall, many came and congratulated Legolas on coming home. Valadon looked at all the beautiful tapestries as they passed by them, he always was interested in them. He slowed to a stop and Tara turned around and walked over to the tapestry of the Fellowship.
Valadon looked at the elf with the bow and arrow in the tapestry, "Da! Dat's da!" Tara smiled and nodded, "Yes that's your daddy, aren't you proud of him?" Her son nodded.
Legolas noticed there wasn't any foot steps behind him, he whirled around to see his son pointing out his father in the tapesty of the nine. Legolas grinned, I'm the proudest father in all middle-earth. He walked over to where his wife was explaining the members of the fellowship.
"… See? That's Frodo Baggins, he was the ring bearer…"
Valadon looked confused, "Wing vearer?"
Tara nodded, "A ring bearer is a person who…uh…Wow, I don't even know what a ring bearer is…heh. So…moving on… See? That's Gandalf the Grey, he's a wizard, he's very wise." Legolas lightly laid a hand on Tara's shoulder. Tara looked up at him.
"Twell me bout Da." She smirked, "See? That's your da, he's really brave…And he's the best elf with a bow I've ever seen…And he's probably the most handsome elf in all of middle-earth." Legolas beamed.
He scooped his now sleepy son into his arms, "I think it's time for a nap…I'll be back in a minute, Ta."
Tara nodded, as her son yelled, "Wuv you Ta!" She smiled and replied, "I love you Mink!"
Legolas came back down fifteen minutes later, "He's out." He chuckled.
"Aye, he's been practicing sword a lot lately…He wanted to surprise you." Legolas' eyes glittered.
He offered Tara his arm, "Shall we?" Tara grinned, "We shall!"
(In the Dining Hall.)
Legolas had a servant bring Tara and him some food. He leaned forward and took Tara's hand, "How I've missed you so." Tara whispered.
Legolas couldn't help the smile that appeared, "And I you." He seemed to constantly smile now.
The food was brought and Legolas ate well, he noticed Tara picking at her meal.
"What's wrong, love?" Tara glanced up.
"Oh nothing…Nothing at all." Legolas could hear a certain anger/sadness in her voice.
"I will ask you again, What's wrong?" Legolas was getting angry fast.
"Nothing, Legolas. It's not a big deal!" Tara was starting to get worried by the look in Legolas' eyes. Why is so angry all of a sudden?
Legolas grabbed Tara's wrist and pulled her out of her seat. "You WILL tell me what's wrong!" Tara couldn't feel her wrist anymore, in Legolas' death grip. "N-nothing important! As I said before!"
"You have chosen unwisely!" Legolas whispered harshly, he drug Tara up to they're room, Tara's fear was rising with each stair they cleared.
Once they reached they're door, Legolas opened the door and flung Tara inside. She grasped her now bruised wrist. What is wrong with him?! Legolas' eyes flashed with an emotion unknown to Tara. He grabbed her by her shoulders and slammed her into the wall. "Now…What's…WRONG?!" He asked through gritted teeth.
"I can't tell you!!!" Legolas pushed her shoulders some more so that it caused more pain, "OUCH LEGOLAS STOP YOUR HURTING ME!" Legolas ignored her, "Your hurting me by not telling me what ails you!!! YOUR OWN HUSBAND!"
Tara tried to move out of his grasp, "YES! AND MY OWN HUSBAND WOULD NOT HURT ME AS SEVERLY AS YOU ARE NOW!" Legolas grinned, "It was coming to you."
He let her go and threw her on the bed. "Now you'll stay there. I don't care how long. I'll be back in a few hours." And with that he closed and locked the door.
What is his deal? What is his prob- VALADON. He better not hurt Valadon. She ran to the window and made sure the coast was clear, then opened the window and climbed into her sons room just next door.
"Ma'ma!" Valadon screeched.
"Shh. Be quiet little one." She lifted Valadon into her arms. She was considering fleeing. It would be useless. Legolas would have every elf in Mirkwood on her trail.
She heard a pounding in the room next to her tiny sons. Legolas. She clutched Valadon tighter when Legolas walked in.
"What are you doing in here?" He spat.
"Valadon…Was crying…So…I figured…It'd be Ok." Tara mumbled. Valadon sensed her fear. She set Valadon down by her side. He drew his wooden sword.
"You can't hwurt mummy!! I won't let you!" He held his little sword out and pointed it in Legolas' direction.
Immediately Legolas was back to normal at his sons actions. "Why? I wouldn't hurt your mummy." He smiled sweetly at Tara and then at Valadon. What in the hell is going on here?! Tara thought.
Legolas noticed her wrist, "Who did this to you?! WHO HURT YOU?!" He was extremely worried.
Tara had tears in her eyes, "You did." she mumbled.
The look on Legolas' face was one of sheer horror. How could I have done that? I don't remember holding her wrist that hard…Maybe I took it a little too far…I've never been so mad in my life. He thought.
