****************************************************************************

Chapter 13

His wounds on both his wrists had healed properly, with his elven healing abilities and all.

But the images of what had nearly happened to him played in his mind over and over again.

He closed his eyes, trying to think of something that could blocked out the sacry images that taunted his mind.

He thought about Elladan and their first kiss.

A small smile formed on his lips. He sighed and leaned towards the tree on which he was sitting on.

A true wood elf, he found solace in the trees and the nature that surrounds it.

His elven ear caught something moving below him. He straightened himself, on full alert.

Suddenly he thought about the elves that had attacked him and panic began to set in.

He closed his eyes and tried no to breathe, as to not let them hear or see him.

"Legolas!"

He heard a familiar voice called out to him. He opened his eyes and looked down.

There he stood, arms crossed at his chest.

Legolas frowned. He did not really want to face Elladan at the moment.

But before he knew it, Elladan had climbed up to the tree and sat himself beside him.

"What do you want?" Legolas asked, coldly.

He could see the dissapointment on Elladan's face. The expression sadden him but he made no comment about it.

Before Elladan could answer him, Legolas leaped to the ground, with grace that only a firstborn could possessed. Elladan leaped down soon after.

As he turned to leave, Elladan caught his arm and turned him around to face him.

"Wait!" Elladan said, as he gripped the arm that he was holding.

"Let go of me, Elladan!" Legolas warned him.

"Why are you avoiding me?" Elladan asked softly, trying hard not to anger the younger elf.

Legolas looked away. It was true. He had avoided Elladan for he could not face him. Not after what had happened.

"Leave me alone Elladan. I don't want you anywhere near me again. Just stay away," Legolas snapped, icily.

Without warning, Legolas flung his arms away from Elladan's grip and quickly ran away.

Elladan only stood there dumbfounded, looking at Legolas's back as he ran from him.

His head trying to figure what had he done wrong to repulse the prince so.

But he could not think of anything.

'Maybe he was still shocked from yesterday's incident,' he thought.

Reluctantly, he made his way back to camp. He decided to try to talk to LEgolas again tomorrow. Hopefully he had calmed down by then.

Legolas himself had no idea why he had acted so cold towards Elladan. He had ran back to his quaters. Even he himself could not understand how he made it back to his room as he was blinded by his own tears as he ran.

A part of him wanted to be in the comforting arms of Elladan. While the other part realized the danger that he put himself into if he get closer to Elladan.

Sadness consumed him as he lay in his bed, crying silent tears. He had decided.

Their relatioship was not meant to be. He would stay away from him from that moment on.

Yes, he had decided.

The next day...

Legolas was practicing at the archery field, alone as the others had finished their practice and had gone for their shower.

He heard footsteps neared him. He knew who it was even before heturned to face him. Elladan.

"Legolas, we really need to talk," Elladan started.

But Legolas ignored him and continued on with his practice. Shooting arrows to his target. But his concentration proved to had wavered, if it was only a little, when his usually sharp strike loses its target.

Elladan smiled, he was glad that to know that Legolas only pretended not to notice him.

He walked closer to the training archer, stood behind him and slid his arms around the slender waist and pulled him into an embrace.

But to his utter surprise, Legolas jerked from his embrace violently, nearly stumbled him in the process.

As he looked up, he saw the angry face of the young prince.

'My, he looks even more adorable when he's angry.' he thought to himself, chuckled lightly.

"I told you to stay away from me!" Legolas yelled furiously as he backed away.

"Legolas, I only wanted to talk," Elladan tried to explain, surprised at the outburst. He took a step forward towards Legolas but the prince took a step backward. He stopped knowing that Legolas would only back away with each step he took.

"There's nothing to talk about," Legolas replied.

"Legolas.." Elladan tried to start again but stopped when Legolas pulled his bow, looking like he was ready to shoot at him.

Elladan looked at him, dumbfounded.

"Get. Out. Of. Here." Legolas said with a warning tone, and stressing each word.

Elladan tried again, looking as though he was trying toget closer to the prince,"Legolas, we really..."

But he did not finished his sentence when he realized that Legolas pulled the string of his bow a little more, as if he was ready to released the arrown in his hands.

"I am warning you, Elladan. Not another step forward. I have nothing to say to you," Legolas warned again.

"I honestly do not think that you will shoot me, Legolas. This is childish. I mean, really," Elladan said as he rolled his eyes.

It proved to be a rather bad move because before he could say anything else, he heard a swoosh sound.

He noticed that Legolas's bow had no arrow in it and the there was a tingling feeling of pain in his right foot.

He looked at Legolas, his expressionless face, then to his foot. Back and forth he looked, from Legolas then to his foot. The the pain got more intense.

"OWWWWWWWWWWWW!" Elladan yelled in pain as he sat down on the grass, trying to cradle his foot, checking for the seriuosness of his injury.

Legolas only stood there, looking at him, like he was also surprised that the arrow made it to Elladan's foot..

"YOU SHOT ME! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SHOT ME! YOU REALLY SHOT ME!" he yelled to Legolas.

But Legolas did not reply him nor did he show any emotion at all.

"Arrrgghhhhhh!!! It hurts," Elladan whined, hoping that Legolas would tend to him. But Legolas made no move at all.

"IT HURTS!!!!!!!" Elladan yelled again, trying to get Legolas's attention.

Hearing Elldan, Legolas's thoughts snapped back to the present. Panic was written all over his face.

To Elladan's annoyance, instead of helping him, Legolas ran away quickly, as if something was chasing him.

"HEY!!!!!!!" Elladan yelled after him. But his cries were unheard by the prince.

As he ran, tears trickled down his face. He could not believed that he just shot Elladan with an arrow.

Eyes filled with tears, he ran blindly to his quaters.
