Thanks all. I appreciate your comments!

Chapter 33--Big Sister

Legolas looked up to see Jaisia standing over him, arms folded across her chest. She didn't look particularly pleased.

"Hello, sis," Legolas said casually as if nothing was wrong.

"What are you doing out here after you were told to stay in bed?" Jaisia asked.

"I heal better in the sun, imp. You should know that and Aragorn should too for that matter," Legolas said.

"Aragorn was muttering something about finding some rope when I left. He was with me when I returned to find you gone," Jaisia said. She gave Legolas a …well…sisterly glare was the only way Legolas could describe it.

Legolas sighed and sat up. "I suppose this means I have to go back," he said. He smiled at Jaisia. "You will not let him tie me down?"

Suddenly Jaisia, before Legolas could resist, scooped him up and slung him over her shoulder. "Let him, I think I will help him," she said. She headed inside and towards the room.

"Jaisia! Put me down!!" Legolas protested, squirming in her grip.

"Not until we get back to your room where you were supposed to be," Jaisia said.

"All the blood is rushing to my head!" Legolas protested.

Jaisia let out a very horse like snort. "Then perhaps it will wash some sense into you," she said. Servants were starting to stop to stare as they passed.

"You are causing a spectacle!" Legolas complained. He doubled his struggles to get loose.

Jaisia swatted him on the rump. "Lay still or I will bare your rump and spank you here and now. That will be a worse spectacle," she threatened.

Legolas suddenly went very still. He didn't resist again the rest of the way to the room. When they entered Aragorn was waiting for them.

"He was in the garden?" Aragorn asked.

"Yes, just as you thought," Jaisia said.

"Alright, you win, put me down!" Legolas demanded.

Jaisia and Aragorn, unseen by Legolas, exchanged smiles and winks. Jaisia dumped Legolas onto the bed then pinned his wrists above his head before he could struggle.

Aragorn wrapped tough cord around Legolas's left wrist and bound it to the bedpost then repeated the process with the right. He ignored Legolas's sputtered protests and struggles. He bound his ankles the same way then stepped back.

Jaisia did the same and stood smiling down at him.

"I did warn you, Legolas. You should have heeded it," Aragorn said.

"I will get you both for this!" Legolas vowed, glaring at them.

"I must return to the meeting with Kendra," Aragorn said and headed for the door. He left closing it behind him.

Jaisia smiled playfully at Legolas, mischief sparkling in her eyes. "We are alone and I have you in my power," she teased.

"Not for long, remember that before you get any ideas," Legolas warned. He scowled at her warningly.

Jaisia grinned and moved down close to his feet. "Are you ticklish?" she asked.

"Of course not," Legolas said disdainfully. "Elves are not ticklish."

"I do not believe you," Jaisia said. "Let us see if that is true." She began tickling his feet enthusiastically.

Legolas laughed until tears ran down his face and gasped for breath. He fought uselessly against his bonds, but couldn't get loose. "Stop! Stop it, Jaisia!" he gasped. "Not fair!!"

"Do you surrender?" Jaisia asked without stopping.

"Yes! Yes! I surrender!" Legolas managed to say.

Jaisia stopped. "That is better, next time you are told to stay in bed perhaps you will listen," she said.

"Will you untie me?" Legolas asked.

"Nope, I kind of like having you at my mercy. You will be like this until tomorrow at least," Jaisia said.

"What do you mean at least?!" Legolas demanded, but Jaisia ignored him…..

Another light chapter as a break for you and me…R/R please!
