A/n hey people, well, I've been offline for a long time, Lady Legolas and Princess of Mirkwood, you were right, I was knocked down by a car and that's why I've been off line for such along time, my legs in plaster and I cant walk on it for six weeks.

It was really terrifying and I have this whole new look on life now so there you go. This will be the last chapter for a bit because, although I've been sent some names, they're all quite feminine so I'm waiting on some male ones. I'm also working on two other fics, one of them will surprise you quite a bit, so look out for them, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't write a fic unless Haldirs involved in some way (unless its Elladan/Elrohir)(oh, and the secret Thrally Elrondo I'm doing for Gladdie's Bday, shhh!) because he's my fave character.

Bob: ya don't say?? You only talk about him and think about him and dream about him and

E: yes well that's enough Bob; we all know your just bitter because Hailie (Gladdie's inner-self, bad side, Francesca's the good side) wont go out with you

B: you don't know that! I haven't asked her yet…

E: yuhhuh?

Fred: oh grow up, both of you, you've completely forgot how to be kind sweet considerate people, I'M GOING OUT!

I don't know what trees grow in Mirkwood, sorry, so just picked random trees I can see from out my window.

I dedicate this chapter to Andy who is NOT a rapist whatever Jenny Black says, seeing as he is the kindest person in the world and NOT the type to do that, and she is a fat ugly bitch and a liar at that, WHORE!!!

Oh, and I just reread my story *cringe* it was so bad! Thank you for sticking to this, I solute you!

You are Beautiful, Little Star

Chapter eleven

Of Joy and Jealousy



Legolas looked over to his left, amusement shone in his eyes as he saw Haldir trying desperately to stay awake, struggling to keep his eyes open, poor little thing, he had never journeyed so far in his life, but they would soon be reaching his homelands and Haldir would sleep in the best rooms of the palace. The royal chambers.

"We are almost there Haldir, please try and abstain from falling from your horse"

Haldir sent him a look that would make any elf shudder "I will not fall from it unless it decides to buck, until that happens you have naught to worry about"

"I bet you learned a lot about bucking last night Haldir" teased Orophin before getting the same angry look Haldir had just given Legolas "I'm just jesting Haldir, by the Valar, If looks could kill…"

Soon the trees of Mirkwood began to appear and Haldir sat up strait, so did Rumil, he had never been to Mirkwood before he had only been to Imladris. Orophin looked smugly at the two of them, he had told them was 'girls' and that was it.

The forest of Mirkwood was soon approaching; all the different greens of the leaves were beautiful, pine trees, oak trees, birch, willows…

Soon enough they were stopped by the guards of Mirkwood that were on patrol, they where all male, if Orokalie had been there she would have been very disappointed and mutter about 'maidens rights' for about half an hour.

The guards wore an emerald green tunic with a white shirt, grey-green leggings and light shoes, not boots like Haldir and his brothers wore. The elves all had quivers and the arrows had the mark of Mirkwood on them, the bows where like the ones that Legolas had carried before receiving the one he got from Galadriel. They had belts of leather with solid gold buckles and their hair was fashioned in the way Legolas wore his, two pleats at the side, one at the back.

"Put your bow away friend, tis your prince come home" Legolas said to the leader of the group

"Welcome back Prince Legolas, and welcome Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel of the beautiful woods of Lothlorien to the great forests of Mirkwood, we here hope your stay is most pleasant and I shall show you to the palace, my friends here will take your luggage and horses If you will follow me"

Legolas jumped down from his horse "if you do not stop speaking like that Alkar, I will shoot you, and I never ever miss"

"I am glad to see your modesty has not left you my prince"

The old friends laughed together and they were indeed old friends, Alkar was older than Legolas and he was the one that had given Legolas his first bow when Legolas had been naught but a child of one thousand and had 'lived to regret it' as the young prince became a better shot than himself.

Alkar tossed flaxen coloured hair over his shoulder and put his bow and the arrow back behind his quiver and "Good to see you my friend, by the Valar, Legolas, what have you done to distress your brother so? He received a letter this morning, and when I saw him last, what a foul mood he was in" Alkar shook his head "talking about what he'd do to you when you got home"

"Oh dear…the letter only arrived in the morn?"

"The young elf", Alkar shook himself, "he ran into some Orcs, he's alright, we think, a bit shaky, horse slain and he has a few cuts and bruises, a broken wrists, it could have been worse"

Legolas sighed, he shouldn't have sent the young elf out on his own, Dulin, he was only about Haldirs age…'oh stop it' he told himself 'Haldir is *not* young…he looks it…no he does not!'.

The elf his mind was fighting over had just jumped down from his horse. Legolas held out his hand to him, little hazel eyed angel…angel? That was a term Aragorn had used that he had picked up on the fellowship. Aragorn had called Arwen one and Legolas had asked what angels where, Aragorn said they were things of great beauty, with the kindest hearts and the purest souls and they would never truly lose their innocence, no matter what they had gone through or seen. They would still be pure.

That described Haldir perfectly.

Alkar saw Legolas take Haldir's hand and raised an eyebrow questionably, so that was why Curonlas was so upset, the prince of Mirkwood was not the sort to hold hands with anyone. Ever. Their little playboy had fallen in love.

Shame.

Not that he wasn't happy for Legolas and the elf was very pretty and all but…

Darn.

"Come on Little Star, a bit further and I'll tuck you up in bed"

Haldir shoved Legolas hard "I am no babe prince Legolas, remember that"

"Of course your not a baby!" Legolas said as he steadied himself from Haldir's push, "but you are tired, so I'll tuck you up"

Haldir scowled but said nothing, it *might* be quite nice to have Legolas tuck him up…

The Palace of Mirkwood was very big, and inside it had beautiful tapestries expertly designed of elves that had been called by the sea or passed over to the Halls of Mandos, there was one of Luthien Tinuviel, she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. Almost, Haldir looked at the one most beautiful in his eyes and squeezed his hand.

"Do you want to see my mother?" Legolas asked him and Haldir nodded, noticing the way Legolas' eyes had lit up when he spoke of his mother. Haldir was torn away from the group and dragged down the corridor and up some stairs so fast Haldir didn't have time to register were he was going before be was pulled into room that was so well hidden Haldir would have walked right past it.

Haldir gasped, in the room was a huge portrait of a flawless Elven maid, long, deep burgundy red hair and green eyes that matched Legolas' perfectly. She had ivory white skin and lips as red as rubies.

"That is Geranium, my mother", Legolas whispered, "isn't she beautiful?" it was more to himself than to Haldir "She was the kindest, sweetest thing you could ever hope to meet…"

Haldir leaned back on his lover "you do not have to answer me my darling but why did she pass on my lovely one, why did she die?"

Legolas inhaled deeply "when she was pregnant with Curonlas, she, she got sick, drank poison by accident. Because she was an Elf it didn't affect her too much, but then she went into labour, and, and all her strength went…and she died…"

Haldir didn't really know what to say, his poor baby, to have his mother ripped away from his at such an early age, no wonder he felt he couldn't love, Legolas had told Haldir that he had been scared of commitment before him. Haldir loved this Elf.

Haldir felt his eyes close and let out a small sigh without meaning it

"Oh sorry love, you're tired aren't you?" without warning Legolas scoped up Haldir in his arms.

"Ai Legolas, NO! Put me down NOW!" but he did not complain or struggle too much 'well, he had demolished my arrogance, snubbed out my stubbornness and taken my innocence, he may as well make me swallow my pride'

Half way down the corridor Legolas looked down and laughed quietly, Haldir had fallen into the dream world of Elves and glazed Hazel eyes looked back at him, a little smile playing at the corners of his mouth "I hope your having sweet dreams my little star"

As Legolas walked through the dimly lit corridor he saw another Elf coming in the opposite direction, using his keen Elven eyesight it wasn't long before he could tell who it was. His brother.

'Oh Elbereth…'

Curonlas' slow swaggering walk soon speeded up, and Legolas could soon see his brother's angry determined look

"Well *dearest* brother, you have returned from Lorien", Curonlas looked down at the sleeping beauty in Legolas' arms, "and nor alone I see, *what* do you think your doing? You know I have no desire to be king!"

"Please Curonlas, shhh!" Legolas whispered

"Awww, scared I'll wake poower bay-be?" Curonlas answered sarcastically, "don't worry, I have no intention to wake small children and make them cry…"

Legolas frowned and wished Haldirs hair was not covering his face; Curonlas would not be speaking of his lover like that if he could see Haldirs flawless features.

"He is almost twice your age brother, do not look down on your elders, and he has done more travelling today than he's ever done in his life before, he's exhausted"

"And no doubt he didn't get much sleep last night…" Curonlas smirked, "breasts over chest any day my friend"

"Just wait till you see him tomorrow, and find out how sweet and caring he is, then you will know why I love him"

Curonlas covered his ears in mock fear, "Ai, please, do not use the 'L' word in front of me! What has gotten into you?" he looked down and smirked, "oh, stupid question…"

Legolas frowned as Curonlas walked past him brushing his shoulder on purpose, had he honestly been like that? So pig-headed and arrogant? Thank the Valar Haldir had come along.

He looked down on his baby to see a little smile was spreading across his features once again and one of Haldir's hands reach out to take the front of Legolas' tunic, rubbing a thumb over the material 'you better be dreaming of me my dearest one' He thought as Haldir giggled then let out a very quiet low moan, well, at least he wasn't having his usual nightmare. He had last night. It had been terrible for Legolas, Haldir had not been screaming, but perhaps his little whimpers of defeat had been worse, his quiet pleas to be let go, to make it stop…

He had almost got to the point that he wanted to shake Haldir awake, but it was very, very dangerous to wake an elf when dreaming because they can get stuck in the dream for ages, and to be awake in a nightmare could be deadly.

So deep was he in his thoughts he was soon at his bedroom door.

Legolas' room was painted emerald green, his four-poster by the open window, and a desk under that. He put Haldir on the bed and took of Haldirs bow and quiver and slipped his tunic over his head then carefully took his boots off his feet. He lovingly tucked Haldir up before undressing himself and climbing in beside his elf.

Haldir instinctively moved towards the heat of Legolas' body and Legolas put his arms around him, it was funny, he had hated others snuggling up to him before but he loved having Haldir in his arms.

"Good night Little Star, good night my angel".
