Tania_Sparrow ~ Hi mate!!! Glad you like. I know, I know. Poor Legolas, all the bad things I make happen to him. He may get better... I don't know yet. I'm just having fun with all the characters different emotions so you know. Yeah, I know I gotta update Wish Upon A Star, but I haven't really had another brain wave for that one yet. I'm mainly concentrating on this one. But I promise I will try to update before the New Year, so that gives me quite a bit of time. Talk to you later!

Silverelf ~ Hi, I appreciate your advice. I will go back and correct my mistakes. I am really bad at that sort of thing!! So, thanks for pointing out some things to me. I will try to improve on some of the points you mentioned. I know the story line is kinda the same as other 'girl falls into middle earth' stories but I am working on that, I have already written what will happen in the end and this is my first fic too so hopefully in my other stories I can improve.

Chapter 12 ~ Give Me Time.

Legolas wondered through the grounds. He was relieved when Elrond had called Valia away from him giving him a chance to go off alone. He loved her, yes, of course he did. But this was something he could not talk about. It had been something for the Prince to open up to her before and cried on her shoulder. He didn't want to do that again. It would be easier on him, but he was so stubborn. That was one of his flaws.

He did not know where he was going. Just following his feet, he ended up in the clearing with the fountain in it, and their tree. This was the one place he could come and let everything go. He jumped up lightly and grabbed the lowest branch before swinging himself up. He came to rest on the branch were he had made the carving. 'Aa' lasser en lle coia orn'n omenta gurtha'. He traced his fingers over the carving.

"Amin n'naa calen," he whispered letting his hand drop as he hung his head and silvery tears fell from his eyes. "Amin naa gurtha."

~*~

Elladan and Alcie just stared at Valia for a moment. "Ok, well I better finish doing this, and you two better go. If Ada finds you here, you'll get into trouble." Said Elladan breaking the uncomfortable silence.

"And leave you to do all the work. We'll help. Right Valia?" said Alcie going to fetch a cloth too clean up the smashed medicine bottle.

This brought Valia back form her thoughts. "Yes, of course." She also picked up a cloth and began helping her friends.

~*~

"Thank you, this would have been very difficult to clan up by myself." Elladan said as they stood out side his bedroom door.

He went to enter but Valia took his hand. "Knock first," she instructed.

"Why?" he asked.

"Your brother has company," Alcie giggled.

"Oh, who?"

Valia did not answer but proceeded to knock. "Who is it?" came Elrohir's voice.

"It's us. Can we come in?" said Valia.

"Yes, come on in," Elrohir sounded a little disappointed to say the least. Elladan opened the door. Elrohir and Alatáriël sat on the bed. Alatáriël blushed furiously when she caught sight of Alcie who smiled at her.

"Elladan, this is Alatáriël." Elrohir said proudly making Alatáriël blush even more.

She waved shyly. "Nice to meet you," said Elladan a smile spreading across his lips. "So, are you too coming to dinner?"

"Yes, we'll be along in a moment," Elrohir said.

The three left the room to make their way down to the dinner hall. "Well, well ,well. I never thought I'd see the day Elrohir got friendly with a girl!" said Elladan.

"And what of you Elladan?" said Valia.

"What o you mean what of me?" said Elladan frowning.

"Well, Elrohir now has Alatáriël, I have Legolas," she stopped. Did she still have Legolas? He had seemed so angry before and she also felt bad because she had partly forgotten about him when helping Elladan.

"I see what you mean. Val, do you really think there is any hope of me finding someone while I'm grounded for.. I don't know how long?" said Elladan sighing.

Alcie laughed. "With Lord Elrond's punishments, that seems a pretty remote chance!"

"Exactly!" said Elladan.

Valia wasn't really listening to her friends anymore. Her mind had drifted to Legolas. Where was he? Would he be at dinner?

~*~

He wasn't. There were only a few places she knew he would be. Though Elrond had asked her to give him some space but she just couldn't help worrying about him. She got up from the table and excused herself heading outside into the grounds towards the tree in the clearing.

On her way she found Estel sitting on a bench in the rose garden reading a book and approached him. He looked up when he heard her soft footsteps and smiled. "Valia! Hello."

"Vedui' Estel. What are you reading?" she asked sitting down next to him.

"A book. 'Places in Middle earth'," he said holding the book up to show her. "Ada gave it to me. He said I should learn of Arda (Middle earth) for when I am a man and I must know all the places and my way around."

"He is right. Estel, you haven't by any chance seen Legolas have you?" Valia asked.

Estel shook his head. "Sorry, but why is Prince Legolas sad?"

Valia stroked his head in a motherly way. "He is sad because his friend has passed away Estel and I am going to find him comfort him so he will be happy again." She said simply so that the child would understand.

Estel nodded. Valia got up and continued on her way. There clearing was so quiet. Even the running water of the fountain seemed to be muted in the deadly silence. "Legolas?" She called before she climbed up the tree. There was no reply so she climbed up the tree.

"Legolas?" she called again when she had reached the branch with the carving only to find that he was not there. "Legolas?" she called out again. Then she began to panic trying to reassure herself that he had perhaps gone to his room she sprinted off back through the grounds past Estel who stopped her and asked what was wrong. When she told him he accompanied her into the house and up the staircase to Legolas' room. "Legolas?" she hammered on the door. When there was no answer she tried the door handle and surprisingly found that it was open.

She burst into his room, calling his name, Estel beside her. others that had been dinning and were now finished heard her frantic calling and came to see what was wrong. Among those were Elladan and Elrohir, Alcie and Alatáriël. "What's the matter?" said Alatáriël coming over to her friend. She looked around and found that also his packs were gone yet the necklace he had showed her still lay next to his bedside table.

"He's gone. Where is he?" Valia said frantically searching for answers. "The stables!" she pushed past the crowd that as gathered, all of which were looking very confused.

When Valia reached the stables, her five friends in toe, she searched the many stalls for Legolas' horse Vilya only to find that she was gone as well. Behind her friends Lord Elrond appeared. "Valia? What is wrong?" he asked gently.

"He's gone! Legolas is gone!" she cried.

"Gone?" Lord Elrond sounded shocked.

"Yes gone! I do not know where! Where is he? Why did he!" she shouted breaking into tears.

He had left, and he hadn't even said good bye.
