Sorry this chapter is a bit....late...I have them written but not typed....and it's a bit of transition from one plot to another..so forgive me if it is choppy....alright..here it is.......
Three weeks later, things were almost back to normal for Legolas. The only things that were not as before were the small hobbit in the dungeon, the elf who caught the hobbit staying in Mirkwood Palace for a few months, and the elf prince's hair.
Ankara had stopped by the palace a few times, first to congratulate Frodo, then to talk to Legolas. Both Ankara and Legolas still had bruises from the stick fight, so sometimes their conversations were strained. But, now Ankara didn't get lost going home.
The only things that were really troubled Legolas now were Frodo and Haldir. Frodo...he had like the hobbit on the quest to destroy the ring, (which was obviously avoided considering Frodo still had the ring). Frodo had been distant during the quest, but he hadn't been as evil as he was not. Every time Legolas went to the cell Frodo was kept in, the hobbit would sneer and hiss at him. It was disturbing.
And then there was Haldir. He had become more distant as the days rolled by. His old, fun self was gone. The super hearing and sight seemed to have gone to his head. Once in a while, he would even scoff at Legolas in the hallways, when they passed. Something he would have never done before. The similarities between the elf and the hobbit seemed to increase as the weeks went on.
Since Haldir had been at least semi normal before the hobbit showed up, Legolas immediately assumed that it was the hobbit causing the trouble. One day he decided to confront him about it. He walked down to the dungeons and went to the hobbit's cell.
"Frodo!" He said sharply when he arrived.
The hobbit glared at him with deep blue eyes. "What do you want Prissy Pansy Pants Prince?"
Legolas suppressed the urge to scream. The random insults were almost as bad as the emails. "Frodo. Do you know anything about Haldir?"
"Yeah. He's and elf," Frodo sneered.
"Did you do anything to him?"
"Like what...poison his water?"
Legolas glared. "Did you do anything to him?"
"Who's to say I didn't poison his water?" Frodo glared back.
Legolas tried to push that thought out of his mind. He focused on a red light flashing on the back wall. Wow. There's a new security system down here. Legolas thought.
Frodo glared. "What are you looking at Elf Freak?"
Legolas sighed. The was nothing more he would get out of the hobbit. "Nothing. Goodbye. Enjoy your cell."
As Legolas left, Frodo hissed at random guards. Later he entertained himself by coming up with new insults.
