Chapter Two: The Terrible Twos

"Legolas! Legolas! Where is that boy hiding?" Thranduil was playing hide and go seek

with his youngest son. Two years had passed since Loreli, the Queen of Mirkwood, had

died. Thranduil was surprised he hadn't died of heartbreak. The Valar had probably taken

pity on him since he was needed to take care of his son. The now toddler, was as lively as

ever, and constantly causing trouble.

"Bet you can't find me Ada!" the elflings screamed from his hiding place. "I hided really

well this time!"

"Well, you happen to be hiding from the Arda's best seeker!" Thranduil shouted back.

He had a hunch of where the little one was, and opened the large wardrobe in the hall. No

Legolas. He searched up and down the hall until he came to a closet. He opened it. No

Legolas. "Where could that boy be?" he asked himself. Just then, the elfling burst from the

the closet and hugged his father around the knees.

"Here i am Ada!"

"But-" Thranduil was puzzled. Hadn't he just checked the closet seconds earlier?

"I'll show you how i hided!"

Legolas stepped into two gigantic boots that went up his entire little leg. he then covered

himself in a cloak. For a quick glance, you would have guessed that no one was in there.

"Master Legolas! you have fooled me again!" Thranduil announced and swung his son

above him in the air, while Legolas giggled and screamed in delight. "I'm hungry Ada. what

can i have to eat?"

"How about Lembas?"

"I'm tired of Lembas! is there anything else i can have?" inquired the young prince.

"You could always wait until dinner." hinted the king.

"Well, i suppose so. but i want a drink of wawa."

While the family was eating dinner, and Elena was having a fight with Thranduil over her new

boyfriend, Legolas was playing with the little mouse he has found in the grass that morning.

He let the mouse crawl up his arm, then grabbed it and started it again. he wasn't hurting it in

anyway, so you can imagine his surprise when the tiny creature bit him. So surpirsed was he,

that he actually let it loose. Screams were emitted from his sister, while his brother tried to

catch the little beast. His father looked furious at him. The little boy just looked sheepishly at

his hands.

"What did i do Ada?" he inquired.

"I think you know very well what you did young man! Go to your room this instant! and don't

even think of leaving until i've had a word with you." his father said sternly.

Legolas hopped down from his chair and walked, crying all the way, to his room. It wasn't his

fault if that stupid mouse had gotten loose. well, maybe it was his fault, but still, why did he

have to get reprimanded so sharply?

After waiting on the edge of his bed for what seemed an eternity, Thranduil came into talk to

him. "I would like you to know that i am very disappointed with your behavior at the dinner table

tonight, Legolas."

Legolas didn't say anything but stared at his father.

"I would also like you to apologize to your sister for sending her into hysterics."

"Only a girl would get scareded over a mouse." Legolas said triumphantly.

"Legolas, she is a girl."

"Oh..." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Sorry I ended it so abruptly, but that's the thing I was going for. I promise u a loooooong

chappie next time! Again, plz R&R! and I need ideas of the kind of trouble Leggo will
