A/n: I am very sorry for the mistakes I made. I check through but sometimes to tired to spot some of them, cause I am writing at night.

Story time. . .

"Legolas!" Aragorn rushed forward as Legolas fell, catching him just before he hit the ground. The twins jumped of their horse and rushed forward. Aragorn immediately felt Legolas's hand for pulse and breathing a sigh of relieve when he found it.

"I think he should be alright. But we better get him to ada as soon as possible." Estel told the twins. The twins nodded.

As usual, Estel carried Legolas on his horse and made their way back to Rivendell. It was near nightfall when Legolas awoke.

As he woke, Legolas unconsciously lifted his injured arm, intending to rub his eyes, when pain shot up his arm like an arrow. A soft moan escaped through his mouth. Estel stopped the horse when he heard the moan.

"Legolas?" he asked softly.

Legolas looked up when he heard his name being called. It was only after a moment before he replied.

"Yes? Erm. . . where are we?" he said in barely a whisper.

"Heading to Rivendell. Are you alright? You look terrible."

Legolas nodded slightly when he realized the probing in his head.

"Elladan. Legolas is awake, I think we should stop here for a rest, and I also need to check Legolas for injuries." Aragorn called out.

The twins stopped and dismounted their horses. They built a fire as Aragorn tended to Legolas.

"I am alright, I just passed out because I was weary."

"I do not believe you. All u have to tell me is where you are hurt, that's all. Is that so hard?"

"But how can I when I am not?" Legolas argued back.

"Stop quarrelling over there, come over and eat already." Elohir called out.

"Dinner time, Estel." Legolas said meekly, relieved when Elohir had saved him from further questioning, cutting Aragorn across as he opened his mouth to argue back.

Legolas stood up, cautiously, careful not to put too much pressure on his injured leg. He walked as casually as he could over to the fire. But after a few steps, a wave of dizziness overcame him, as he injured leg gave way. Elladan quickly caught him.

"And you were saying you were 'alright'?" he asked.

"Stubborn elf," muttered Aragorn as he walked over, "so can you tell me now? Where are you hurt?"

"My right ankle. Twisted it." Legolas answered, choosing to keep the wound on his shoulder a secret for as long as he could, as he did not fancy Aragorn fussing over it too.

"Only?"

"Yes. What else do you expect?"

"Who knows. . ." he muttered. "where did you get it?"

"Orcs." Aragorn sighed and said nothing, taking out Legolas's boot

"Its looking bad, you also strained it too far." He informed.

"I know."

"Bear with it for a while."

Legolas nodded and bit his lip to keep himself from crying out loud.

Unaware of the injury on his shoulder, Elladan put his hand on Legolas's shoulder to comfort him. Legolas winced at the additional pain applied on his shoulder.

It was fifteen minutes later when Aragorn finished.

He handed Legolas some food.

"I am not hungry." He rejected the food, knowing he would retch it all out again after eating.

"You have not eaten anything at all today. And you are looking so pale. Are you still hiding something else from me?"

"No, no. I just have no appetite."

"You must have something Legolas, or you will not have the strength for the ride back." Elohir included.

Legolas sighed in defeat. "Fine." //oh Valar, help me.//

Aragorn was pleased. As they ate, Legolas felt more and more nauseous, it wasn't long before. . .

"Legolas!"
