Chapter Two:
"And if he catches you in here again he'll definitely send me to Mirkwood at least until I turn eighteen." I said.
"That's right, you're still underage, then he will definitely send you to Mirkwood." Said Elladan.
Elrond and Legolas came back into the room.
"Elladan, I thought I told you to go to your own room and to let her rest." Said Elrond.
"Lord Elrond would you like me to take Evelyn to Mirkwood?" asked Legolas.
"Yes, please Legolas, so I don't have to kill or imprison my own son for sleeping with a minor." Said Elrond.
"Fine, Evelyn, we leave when Lord Elrond says you are well enough to ride a horse." Said Legolas.
"One problem with that, I don't know how to ride a horse." I said.
"Well, then you'll just have to ride with me on mine." Said Legolas.
"Well then if y our going to do that, in a few hours time you will be able to leave, as soon as I get a bag together for her to take with her to Mirkwood." Said Elrond.
"Father, if we promise not to do anything until she is of age, can she stay?" asked Elladan.
"My mind is made up Elladan, she's going to Mirkwood and that's that." Said Elrond.
"What's all the noise about?" asked Elrohir coming into the room, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
"Thank Elladan for having me send Evelyn to Mirkwood," said Elrond. "Ada, do we have to send her away, especially so far away?" asked Elrohir.
"Elrohir, she's sixteen, I think its best that she spends two years in Mirkwood. I'm sure Legolas will watch out for her, teach her how to defend herself while she's staying with him in his care." Said Elrond.
"That reminds me, I have to send a messenger ahead to my father with a letter of explanation." Said Legolas.
"You can deal with that in a minute Legolas, but for now we should separate those two." Said Elrond.
"Ada, go with Legolas and write a letter of explanation for King Thranduil and I'll be the chaperone for those two." Said Elrohir.
"Fine." Said Elrond.
Elrond and Legolas left the room and Elrohir said, "Elladan what did you do to have Ada send Evelyn to Mirkwood with Legolas?"
"He walked in on us cuddled together on the bed." Said Elladan.
"How am I going to Mirkwood after just having surgery on my ankle?" I asked to no one in particular.
"I don't know I'll go ask Ada." Said Elrohir and he left the room.
Elladan pulled me close and said, "Can you keep a secret?"
"Of course." I said picking my head up to look at him.
Elladan put his lips close to mine and said, "Maybe it's a good thing that he's sending you to Mirkwood or I might not be able to keep my hands off of you."
I closed the distance between us and we only broke apart when Elladan heard movement in the corridor.
"I hope your happy Elladan, not only is Legolas her guardian, but we're not allowed to visit Mirkwood for those two years and if Thranduil sees either of us, we are to be charged as trespassers." Said Elrohir.
"Did he say anything about my ankle? Or how I'm getting around Mirkwood? Or what's going to happed once I reach Mirkwood?" I asked.
"And if he catches you in here again he'll definitely send me to Mirkwood at least until I turn eighteen." I said.
"That's right, you're still underage, then he will definitely send you to Mirkwood." Said Elladan.
