A/N: Hi. Well, I'm continuing on with the story right after I just posted chapter 8. I expect no reviews because of I am such a rusher. Well, don't stop reading and reviewing.

Legolas's eyes fluttered opened. He looked around and saw the room was dark. Only a warm fire was there for light. Watching the dancing flames of the fire, he didn't notice someone walk into the room.
Lord Elrond walked into the room to check on both Elladan and Legolas. He looked over at Legolas and saw his eyes wide open, staring at the fire. He slowly walked over and stood next to Legolas. Looking into the flames as well, he spoke.
"Flames of a fire can be mesmerizing, but yet, they cause so much pain. But sometimes they can give you a warm feeling. Do you not agree with me, Legolas?" Elronds deep and ancient voice cut threw Legolas's thoughts.
"What?" Legolas asked.
"Flames of a fire can be mesmerizing, but yet, can cause so much pain. But sometimes they can give you a warm feeling. Do you not agree with me?" Elrond repeated. Legolas nodded, but didn't look at the Elven Lord.
Elrond felt Legolas's forehead. It wasn't burning, but there was a slight fever. Standing up, Elrond walked over to a door, he opened it and walked in.
Legolas continued to stare at the fire. 'Maybe the strange voice was right. I don't believe I could have saved Elviondel, but I could have saved Ping. Why was I so stupid? I am a useless broken arrow. I do not serve any purpose in this world. I will run away. When everyone is gone and doesn't care to check up on me. I will pack a few supplies and go. Probably no one will even notice I'm gone.' Legolas thought bitterly. He nodded his head. 'Yes. Tonight I will leave. As soon as Lord Elrond leaves.'
Elrond walked out of the little room holding a cup of steaming tea. Walking over to Legolas, he sat on the edge of the bed. He helped lift Legolas's head and helped him drink the liquid. Legolas felt a tingling sensation go down his throat. Warmth flew threw his veins as he felt secure and safe. He lay back down and looked up at Elrond. 'Do not make him suspicious of your leaving.'
"Thank you, Lord Elrond. I am tired, I will rest now." Legolas lied, well except for the thank you part.
"No problem, Legolas. Just call if you need assistance." With that said, Lord Elrond left the room.
Legolas waited a few seconds, and then he pulled off the covers and hoped out of the bed. He yelped and sat back down. A wave of dizziness and of pain flew over him. Holding his right side, he looked at it confused.
"How did that get there? That happened in my dream?" Legolas asked no one. He shook his head and stood back up. Collecting all of his supplies and clothes that he needed. He said one final farewell to Greenwood the Great, and climbed out an opened window. Little did he know that someone was following him.

Elladan had awoken and saw Legolas packing up. He silently followed him while packing up as well. Seeing Legolas crawl out an open window, he followed silently. Crawling out the window, Elladan looked around and started to panic. Sighing, he saw Legolas walking along the Forest River. There was no moon out tonight and the stars were shining brightly. Elladan looked up at EƤrendil. 'Help protect us.' He silently prayed.
They seemed to be walking for hours until Legolas finally stopped to rest.
"I should have brought a horse." He spoke out loud. Legolas started a small fire and took a piece of bread out of his pocket. Slowly nibbling on it, he looked up at the stars.
"They are so beautiful and peaceful. They cause no harm and can save lives. But me, look at me; I am of no use in this world. I cause nothing but pain and death. If only I were like Glorfindel. He killed a Belrog. I can't do that. I killed my best friend and favorite teacher. I am probably nothing to everybody else. Maybe the freaky blue-eyes woman is right." Legolas bitterly said. Elladan looked shocked and surprised. A wave of grief swept over his heart. 'What Freaky Blue-eyes woman? Mean nothing to anybody? Killed his best friend and teacher? What does he mean?' Elladan thought confused. Slowly creeping up on Legolas, he grabbed his shoulder lightly. Legolas spun around and looked at Elladan in surprise.
"I though you were sleeping." Legolas said and looked at the ground.
"No, I woke up when my ada came in the room to check up on us." Elladan informed Legolas.
"Why did you follow me?" Legolas asked, still not looking up at Elladan. His voice was hollow; he had no life in it anymore. Another wave of grief hit him again and he shut his eyes. Reopening them, he looked at Legolas in the eyes.
"Because when someone runs away, I usually follow because then if I don't, the person gets lost and the kingdom or place that they left goes up into an uproar. Tell me. Why did you run away like so?" Elladan asked seriousness in his usually cheerful voice.
"Nobody wants me. I killed Ping and Elviodel. I serve no purpose on Middle-Earth. All I am is a broken arrow. I am useless." Legolas quietly said. Tears fell to the dry forest floor. Elladan sat down beside Legolas and motioned for him to sit on his lap. Legolas didn't protest and he silently wept on his shoulder.
He felt warm and safe in Elladan's arms. Elladan silently sang an Elvish song to him and Legolas slowly fell into a deep Elvish sleep. Elladan stop singing and looked down at Legolas. His eyes were opened slightly, but they were empty and glazed over. That was a sign that an Elf was sleeping. Sighing but smiling, he went over and picked up Legolas's bags. He started heading back to the palace, hoping that nobody had come to check up on him or Legolas.
He slowly lifted himself into the room, careful as not to wake Legolas up. Looking around, he noticed the room was exactly the way it was when they had left.
'Maybe no one has checked on us yet.' Elladan thought. He silently walked the sleeping Legolas over to his bed. Slowly setting Legolas down, Eladan walked over to the window and grabbed his things. He slowly and silently put everything back, so no one would get suspicious about his and Legolas's little midnight strolls. But then again, they were out for about 4 hours. Shrugging his shoulders, Elladan put the last of the stuff away. Lifting his head up, he heard very faint footsteps coming towards the door. Elladan panicked and ran for his bed. Hopping on it, he pulled the covers over his body and halfway closed his eyes. Slowly opening the door, Elrohir peeked in. He nodded and walked in closely followed by Estel.
'What are they up to?' Elladan wondered. Watching his brothers slowly walk over to his bed with a bucket of something, he pretended he was still in deep Elven sleep. Elrohir smirked and looked at Estel. Estel nodded but looked a little nervous and doubtful. Elladan had to smile a little at that. Luckily Elrohir didn't see the smile.
Elrohir tipped the bucket a little so Estel could reach into it. Reaching into the bucket, Estel pulled out a sticky substance. 'Honey.' Elladan thought.
Estel and Elrohir slowly pored the sticky honey on Elladan, careful as not to wake him up. 'Three.two.one!' Elladan jumped up and grabbed the bucket from his twin brother's hand. Elrohir and Estel looked stunned. Elladan took this to his advantage and dumped the honey all over the two.
Estel and Elrohir were even more stunned. They snapped back to reality by their brother's laughter. They glared at Elladan who was now on the floor laughing. Holding his stomach, Elladan wiped away a few stray tears that escaped from his eyes.
Legolas slowly got up and rubbed his eyes.
"What happened?" He drowsily asked.
"It seems that our plan backfired on us." Elladan angrily said and continued with his icy glare at his twin brother. Elladan took in a deep breath and stood up.
"Ai, I did brothers. You should have seen your faces. You were so stunned. I wish ada could have seen it." Elladan said and put a smirk on his lips.
"I wish ada could have seen what?" Came the deep voice of Elrond. Walking into the room, Elrond couldn't help but smile. The sight was rather amusing. Both Elrohir and Estel was covered in honey and had the look of pure hatred on there faces, Elladan had a bit of it on his shirt and was trying to suppress a straight face, and Legolas looked confused and drowsy.
"I see Legolas is up." Elrond walked over to Legolas and put a hand on his forehead. Quickly pulling his hand away, he ordered Elrohir to go get him a cup of tea and some specific herbs.
"But. I am covered in honey." Elrohir protested.
"Fine, Elladan, hurry." Elrond looked at his eldest son. Elladan nodded and ran out of the room.
"What had befallen him, ada?" Estel asked curiously.
"He has a high fever." Elrond answered his over curious adopted son. It was true. When he touched him, it felt as if he has touched the flames of a fire. Elrond scanned over Legolas's fare face. Instead of his usual cheerful, mischievous, and joyful face with his twinkling midnight blue eyes mixed with silver, his face was now drenched with sweat and was tired and painful looking and his eyes have turned from sparkling to grief stricken and the color went from its normal color to a very deep dark blue, almost black. Elrond wrinkled his brow. 'What is happening to you Legolas?' Elrond wondered.
Elladan ran in with a steaming cup of tea and the herbs his father had requested. Elrond immediately took the herbs and tea. He crushed the herbs with the cup. A few drops of water landed on the wooden table. Elrond paid no heave to it. Elladan held up Legolas's head as Elrond slowly lifted the liquid up to his lips. The warm liquid went down his throat and left a tingling sensation through out his whole body. Legolas instantally fell asleep. Slowly lifting down Legolas's head, Elladan met the worried eyes of his fathers.
"What happened?" He asked. Elrond shook his head.
"Know I do not. We will ask him when he wakes up, when he feels better. Did anything happen when I left?" He asked his eldest son. Elladan looked at the ground and bit his lip. 'Tell him. Don't tell him. What do I do? Legolas has a high fever. But if I told him I would most likely get in trouble. Oh I don't know.' Elladan mentally kicked himself.
"Well, when I woke up. I saw Legolas packing up for something. I slowly and silently followed him. He climbed out the window and I followed him. He walked along the Forest River saying some crazy stuff like 'Maybe the strange blue-eyes woman was right. Maybe I am a broken arrow, I serve no purpose in this world.' And stuff like that. I came out from hiding when he stopped about 2-3 hours later. I told him that everyone would miss him. I sang him to sleep and brought him back here. At least I did the right thing." Elladan said and looked at the silent group. They all had different expressions on their faces, Estel of confusion, Elrond of anger and grief, and Elrohir of shock. Elladan gulped, trying to get the lump that was forming in his throat out.
"Well, I think it is time to get some rest. All of you need rest. Estel, Elrohir go clean up. Elladan, you are injured and need rest. I am retiring as well and I am going to talk to King Thranduil tomorrow." Elrond said sincerely. The three only nodded and silently did what they were told.
When everyone had left the room. Elladan walked over to Legolas's bedside.
"I hope you fare well, mellon nin. It would be a tragedy if you left us. Sleep well." Elladan said, trying to keep the tears from falling. He lightly kissed him on the forehead and noted that he did feel rather hot and his eyes were shut, which wasn't good. Elladan shook his head and went over to the bed next to Legolas and fell into an Elven slumber. Little did he know that Legolas was not sleeping well.
