Let's get on with the story now, shall we boys and girls.?

Chapter 3
He could climb down the side. Even though there was lots of rocks jutting out and there was a fair drop, and it could prove nasty, as he'd already seen with what had happened to Legolas.
"No, not climbing down," thought Aragorn. His eyes scanned the sides of the chasm, and he was surprised and relieved to see a long vine growing down the face of the rock.
"Perfect!" he thought.
Pulling on the climber hard, Aragorn decided that it should be strong enough to hold his weight; after all, he wasn't /that/ heavy. was he? He hoped not.
The young boy risked a glance over the edge again, and the world span as he looked over the drop. He was still no good with heights.
"I have to try. Come on Estel, you can do it!" he reassured himself, even though subconsciously thought that it was totally useless; he'd never manage it.
Aragorn slowly edged to the rim.
And rapidly ran away again.
"Ok. breath. on three!" he ordered himself, picking his way to the top of the cliff again.
"One.!"
He reminded himself not to look down.
"Two.!"
He shimmied towards the edge.
"Three!"
Had anyone been watching, they would have seen a little eleven year old boy dropping over the edge of a chasm.
~*~*~*~
Elrond rushed through the halls of Rivendell, calling the two boy's names frantically.
"Estel?! Legolas?! Where are you?!"
Suddenly a voice behind him made him jump.
"Have those two disappeared again Elrond?" asked Glorfindel. Elrond turned desperately to his friend.
"Yes, and I'm afraid something's happened," he explained.
"Again?" Glorfindel sighed. "How bad?"
"Judging by the strength of that premonition," said Elrond. "Very bad."
~*~*~*~
It was peaceful in the dark. It gave him somewhere to hide from the pain.
Legolas decided that he would stay here until someone dragged him from it.
~*~*~*~
Aragorn was shaking like a leaf. He gripped onto the vine with a vice-like clasp, slowly shifting his way down it.
"Too high, too high, too high, too high." he continuously repeated to himself.
He squeezed his eyes tightly together, and regained his rather peculiar embrace with the tentacle of foliage.
Suddenly, the root jerked hard. The force was enough to loosen Aragorn's grip and yank it from his hands.
The boy screamed as he plummeted downwards.
~*~*~*~
"I can't find them anywhere," panted Glorfindel. "I believe they must have ventured outside of the city."
He had just returned from a mad dash around the city, calling for Estel and Legolas, and receiving no answer.
Elrond couldn't believe it, but he felt the panic levels inside him raise even more. Not in the city? They could be anywhere!
He was jerked out of his train of thought abruptly as he felt a tugging on his sleeve.
"A-Arwen?" he stammered, the small shock confusing him slightly.
The young Elf-girl nodded. "Yes, it's me Ada. You do remember your little Evenstar, don't you?" she smiled pleasantly.
"Yes, of course I do my sweet, but right now Ada is a little busy, so if you don't mind-"
"But I know where they are!" interrupted Arwen.
Elrond stopped dead, his eyes going as wide as saucers. "Are you /sure/ Arwen? You're not just trying to help me?" he asked slowly and calmly, although he felt far from it.
"Yes, I heard Legolas saying he was going up to a big bridge that he'd found," said Arwen.
"A bridge? What bridge? There isn't a bridge in Rivendell, apart from the high one leading out North, and we've already checked there." said Glorfindel.
Arwen laughed. "No silly-billy, it's a new bridge that Legolas found! He said it was something to do with a tree."
"When did you hear all this?" asked Elrond.
"When he was chatting to Elladan and Elrohir. They dared him to cross it, then to try and get Estel to cross it too." explained the youngster.
Elrond decided that sounded about right. Legolas was a bit of a tearaway; he had lost count of the number of times that boy had been in the healer's care."
"Where are the twins now?" asked Glorfindel.
"Out in the garden," said Arwen.
"Go and fetch them please dear." said Elrond. "We have some searching to do."
