DISCLAIMER: They are not mine, you know it.
Author Notes: English is not my mother language, sorry for the mistakes.
ALIDA-FRUIT: Thanks! Hope you enjoy this chapter, it's mainly about the twins and my version of how they behave.
DRAGON: Actually I have been posting at least once a week… Anyway, glad to read from you.
MAGPIE POET: I think the worst that PJ could do was kill Haldir. I'm really obsessed with elves (as you can see) and I was the happiest girl when an entire army of the Beautiful People appear in TT (even in the wrong battle) BUT when Haldir was killed… Even this I must accept that what PJ did to Faramir was… there are no words, he killed Tolkien again.
XING: Glad you are liking.
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)
Are you still bored?
Very well, Estel thought, Glorfindel's story wasn't exactly a diversion for Mithranthir creepy story. In fact it had been scarier.
"Right..." Elrohir said. His twin, Legolas and him were so close that they could have been one being. Every pretext was valid to be that close, Elrond thought.
"Who's next?" Legolas asked
"Me" Elladan said hugging closer the blond prince "This story is what happened to me when I was alone in Father's study" Estel gulped, it was going to be another horrible story.
"You were alone? Without these two?" Mithrandir said surprised "That itself is strange enough"
"Mithrandir!" The three said pouting
"Anyway" Elladan said still pouting "It was a rather rainy afternoon when father asked me to look for a book that he needed urgently and because Elrohir was sleeping recovering for a deep wound in his chest I went alone"
"And the crazy son of Thranduil?" Mithrandir asked
"In Mirkwood" Legolas said smiling "My father was lecturing me about tormenting my tutors" Mithrandir choked.
"Young one, that is nothing to be proud of" the wizard said
"See what we meant" Glorfindel said sighing. "And those two are just the same"
"ANYWAY" Elladan said "I was looking for the book thinking that it won't take me too long and that I was going to be able to returned to Elrohir's side soon. Of course, if it was going to be a quick search my father would have done it" Elrond coughed and Mithrandir grinned. The crazy twins had to learn from someone. "When I realice, it was already night. Several candles illuminated the room, but suddenly a strong wind blew and turned off all them leaving the room completely dark. The thunders lighten occasionally the place, but it was just for seconds. So I shouted several times for someone to bring me fire but no one answer. I was very annoyed and I stood up to get it myself and then is when it happened. Next to a column, when the thunders lighten the room for seconds, I could see the figure of a person smiling strangely at me, but as soon as the room was dark again there was nothing"
"And what happened?" asked Estel now seating on Elrond's lap. The lord was embracing him with an amused smile, for it was clear that his little foster son was very scared.
"I went out and even now I don't go there alone at rainy thundering nights" a noise from the door made everyone jumped, some more discreetly than others. They relaxed when they saw it was Uraith, the manservant, bringing them cups of hot tea and some cookies.
"Is everything right, my lord?" Uraith said puzzled
"Don't worry, we are just a little... nervous" Uraith nodded and left.
"Estel, if you want you can go" Elrond said tenderly. Elrohir was reaching three cups of tea and passing them to his brother and friend, as well as some cookies, Mithrandir was already drinking his tea and Glorfindel was offering one cup to his Lord.
"No, I want to listen to the other's stories"
"Aren't you scare? I can see that the other's are going to be as scary as the last ones"
"No, I'll stay" but Elrond saw that the little human wasn't very convinced of it.
"Very well" he said anyway and hugged him tightly.
"Did you knew about Elladan's story?" asked the human
"Yes, he told me about it"
"And?"
"And that's the reason I don't allow anyone to enter there in rainy and thundering nights" Estel grew pale.
"Well, it's my turn" Elrohir said merrily "This was after Yule's celebration, Elladan and Legolas were very drunk..." said elves choked with their tea and Elrond and Glorfindel rolled their eyes.
"Elrohir, skip that kind of details" Legolas said looking at his friend.
"Sorry, but they need to know that you were out of this world" Mithrandir chuckled
"Elrohir..." Elladan said
"Anyway, they fell asleep as soon as we entered Elladan's room. I fell asleep as well, but not so deeply as they"
"Elrohir, they got the point!" Legolas and Elladan said.
"I know, I just love to tease you" Elladan and Legolas rolled his eyes.
"I think that I was asleep about three or four hours before a knock in the window awoke me. I tried to ignore it, but it was quite persistent, so I went to the window and opened the curtains. It happened to be a little branch of the closest tree hitting the window, I opened it and tried to pull away the little think without breaking it, but it wouldn't cooperate. I steeped outside and put it away carefully, when I was going to get into the room, the window closed, I knew that my dears wouldn't hear me, no matter how hard I shout, so using a chain that I was wearing I tried to open it, but the chain fell inside an out of my reach. So I went to the balcony hopping that the doors were opened, but they weren't, and then is when I heard the whispers.
Low whispers that I didn't understood, so trying to locate them, I looked down and I saw a person standing there. It's face was twisted and it's eyes were as red as blood. I backed off and tried to force the doors, but when I turned around he was there, next to me. I jumped to the window again to discover that they were opened, so I entered and closed it behind me. Looking at my two dears, that were completely black out" he said smiling impishly, Elladan and Legolas hit him with cushions "I search for my chain, but I couldn't find it anywhere, so I thought that in the morning I will find it, but when I went to the bed, I saw it there. And then something broke the window. I think it was a heart, but in the morning there were just the pieces of the window without a sing of what could have broken it"
"And as he kindly had point, we were so deep asleep that we heard anything" Elladan said
"Interesting" Mithrandir said eating a cookie.
"Elrohir, weren't you drunken too?" Estel said
"I don't know, I drank that night, not as much as them" again he was hit with the cushions "But I drank. It could have been an illusion, but the broken widow wasn't. Ask Uraith if you don't believe me, the window was broken and the pieces were inside the room, that proves that it was broken from outside"
"But don't worry Estel, until now it haven't happen again" Legolas said with a comforting smile looking at the frighten little human "And this was about a millennia ago"
"Really?"
"Really little one" Elrohir and Elladan said at the same time
"Great"
"Well, Lord Elrond and Legolas are the only ones missing" Glorfindel said
"If you don't mind Legolas, I will continue"
"Of course not, my Lord"
"Well, this story happened when Thranduil and I were in Mirkwood hunting"
TBC...
