* Hi, everyone! Umm, first off, this chapter is one that I've been planning
since I finished my first fic, so I hope you like it.
* Secondly, couldja all do me a favor? My little brother, Liam, is having his tonsils and adnoids out on the 22nd, the day after he starts Kindergarten, and would you please pray for him? Thanks!

Deidre arrived in Fangorn Forest during the middle of a rainstorm. She was glad it was raining, since that would wash away any tracks she might've left. Now all she had to do was find Fangorn, and hope that no one had followed her.
***********
After Deidre ran out on him, Legolas went back to his room and locked himself in. He didn't want to be disturbed by anyone. Why did she run away after they had kissed? He wondered. Was it his fault? Was he a bad kisser or something? It's not like he had any experience in that sort of thing, for Elbereth's sake! He thought she had liked kissing him, yet the moment they stopped for air, she had bolted like a frightened rabbit!
The next morning, he decided he had best apologize. But then again, if she was mad at him, he most certainly did not want to be on the receiving end of one of her rages. A few stories from Elladan and Elrohir had made that quite clear. Maybe he should give her a day or two to cool off. Or at least until that evening. So he absorbed himself in archery for the remainder of the day.
On his way to apologize, he ran into Elladan and Elrohir. "Hello, loverboy!" Elladan said brightly. "Looking for Deidre? If you are, too bad, because she's taken off again."
"Yeah," Elrohir agreed. "What'd you do?"
"I'd rather not say," Legolas replied. "Where did she go?"
Elrohir shrugged. "Who knows? Probably to her 'place'. She took some clothes, food, and her horse. Left Arwen a note, saying that she'd be back within eight months, at the latest. That's what she does, really." Seeing Legolas's puzzled look, he elaborated. "We never know where Deidre goes when she runs off. All's she's ever told us is that it's in the south, near Rohan. She always leaves at night, too. Just grabs her stuff, saddles her horse, and takes off."
"Do you have any more specific location than 'south, near Rohan'?" Legolas asked, already forming a plan.
"Why? Thinking of going after her?" Elladan wondered.
"No one's ever done it successfully," Elrohir added. "The first time she ran off for a long time, she left a message with out grandparents to tell Ada not to even try. So no one ever goes after her. She can take care of herself better than Elladan and I can. As for location, it's probably a forest. I mean, she's not really a plains person. Anyway, good luck hunting her down. She's usually got a sixth sense about people trying to find her, so she might dash off further."
"Thanks," Legolas said, turning and heading to his own room. Forests near Rohan, well, the only decent-sized one was Fangorn Forest. So if the twins were telling him the truth, she was there. He packed, got some food from the kitchens, and mounted his horse, taking off toward Fangorn Forest, and hopefully, the woman he loved.
