Chapter 14

Haldir and Elrohir both grinned and chuckled as they looked on while Lord Elrond tend to the arrow wound on Elladan's foot.

They had found Elladan limping towards the palace and that Legolas had shot him with an arrow.

Both couldn't stop themselves from laughing outloud at the scene before them.

Elrond frowned for he still could not believe how in Middle Earth Elrohir could've shot his brother in the foot.

Well, that was what Elladan told his father. He could't really admit that he was shot in the foot by the Prince of Mirkwood now, could he?

"Please be careful the next time you shoot an arrow okay, Elrohir?" Elrond reminded his son with a serious tone.

Elrohir frowned. He still could not get over the idea of his brother blaming him for his injury. But being a good brother he was, he did not say anything to indicate otherwise.

He only nodded at his father's statement. Haldir held a smirk on his face.

"And Elladan, don't wet your foot, okay?" Elrond continued.

"Yes, ada. I know," Elladan replied.

Elrond then proceeded to leave the room. Haldir and Elrohir could no longer hold their laughter. A burst of laughter could be heard from Elladan's room.

"Did you see your father's face when you told him Elrohir shot you?" Haldir asked, grinning.

"I can't believe you told ada I shot you!" Elrohir exclaimed, hitting his brother playfully on his shoulder.

"You can't really expect me to tell him that Legolas shot me now, could you?" Elladan replied back.

"What did you do to piss him off anyway?" Haldir asked.

"Absolutely nothing. He just shot me out of the sudden!" Elladan exclaimed.

Haldir snorted, "Yeah, right." Elladan rolled his eyes at him.

"Okay, I need your help," Elladan said to the two elves. Haldir groaned but Elladan ignored him.

"With what?" Elrohir asked cautiously.

"I need to speak to Legolas but he's not actually speaking to me. So, I'm gonna need you guys to deliver a meesage to him, from me," Elladan explained.

Both of them thought about it for a while. Then Elrohir said, "Simple enough. Okay, we'll do it."

"What will the message say?" Haldir asked, curiously.

"Hmm... It will asked him to meet me in the forest," Elladan say as he took a piece of paper to write in.

Elrohir sighed and said," El, you can't even walk properly. How do you intend to walk to the forest?"

Elladan smirked, "You're gonna carry me."

Elrohir didn't like the idea. "I don't mind carrying you but you can't stay alone in the forest when you're injured! What happens if there're orcs nearby?"

"Elrohir's right. I heard that there're orcs sightings around here," Haldir said with a frown, as he was too worried about his friend's safety.

"And how exactly are you gonna convince Legolas to attend this meeting of yours anyway? You said it yourself, he's not talking to you," Elrohir said.

"I have my way. Don't worry. I'll be okay. Just get the message to him and help me to the forest, okay?" Elladan said.

Reluctantly, both of them agreed.

Elrohir knocked on Legolas's door, delivering the message for his brother.

Legolas opened the door and Elrohir could see the surprise on his face upon seeing him at the doorway. But he had kept his composure.

"Lord Elrohir, what a surprise? What can I do for you?" Legolas asked politely.

Elrohir bowed his head in greetings before he said," Legolas, I came to deliver a message from my brother."

He saw the change of expression on Legolas's face but he couldnot make out what it was. He handed the piece of paper to Legolas, bowed and left.

Legolas slowly opened the note after Elrohir had left and read it.

Dear Legolas,

Please meet me in the forest, at the tree where I saw you yesterday morning.

I will await you and will remain there until your arrival.

Yours truly,

Elladan.

He sighed.

'Why can't he just leave me alone?' he thought.

He proceed to close the door and went inside his room.

'There's no point in going anyway,' Legolas thought again before he threw the note into a waste basket.

'But he said that he will stay there until I show up. And his foot,' he thought again, debating whether he should attend this meeting as he was a bit worried about Elladan.

'Well, he's a big elf. He can take care of himself. Right,' he argued with himself again, finally decided not to go.

At night, as he was walking towards the dining hall, he saw Elrohir walking to his direction.

"Hello there, Legolas. How did your meeting with my brother go?" Elrohir asked as he also saw Legolas walking towards him.

"You knew about it?" Legolas asked in surprise. Elrohir gave him a smile and nodded.

"I didn't go," Legolas said, simply.

He saw the smile on Elrohir's face dropped. "What? What did you mean you didn't go?"

Legolas shrugged," Like I said, I didn't go."

"But what about Elladan? Where's he? Is he not back yet?" Elrohir asked, frantically as he was worried about his brother's safety.

"I don't know. I haven't seen him," Legolas replied with a worried tone.

Legolas could see the worried expression on Elrohir's face.

"Legolas, Haldir mentioned that there're mentioned of orcs sightings. And Elladan's foot is injured. You don't supposed..." he could not finished the sentenced because Legolas had sprinted off as soon as he mentioned the word orcs.

Legolas ran as fast as his elven legs could carry him into the forest. But it was so dark that he could not see the way in front of him clearly, even with his elven eyesight.

But he kept on running. He must get to the tree where Elladan was waiting for him.

"Elladan! Elladan! Where're you? Answer me!" he yelled into the forest, hoping he could get a response from Elladan. But he could only hear the whispers of wind.

He stopped, closed his eyes and concentrated. As soon as he heard the whisper of the trees, he followed their direction, running quickly.

"Elladan? Elladan?!" he yelled as he ran.

But he fell to the ground as he tripped on something. He got up and touch the object that tripped. His hands touched a body.

"Elladan?" his voice at the verge of breaking.

As he moved closer to the body, he saw that it was indeed Elladan.

"NO!!!! Please, no! Elladan, wake up!" he cried to him, holding Elladan's body in his arms.

"WAKE UP!!!!" he shooked the body with his might but there was no response from Elladan. His limbs were limped. his face was pale. Blood was on his face, neck, hands and legs.

His clothes torn and wounds decorated his body.

"Please don't die, Elladan! No! Please, wake up! Wake up!" he shouted to the unmoving body of Elladan, trying to wake him up.

His tears flowed down his cheeks. He cried shamelessly as he held on to Elladan's body.

"Please, Elbereth! Return him to me! Please!" he yelled to the sky.

His shouts turned to whispers as his crying had tire him out.

"I'm sorry, Elladan. I'm sorry for not coming. I love you," he whispered to Elladan.

Then he broke down in tears again.

No one but the trees of Lothlorien heard of his confession that night.
