Disclaimer: I do not own anything, except for Leuthil.
I looked around in wonder, it was so big.
I held Legolas' hand and we walked down. He didn't let go of hand or actually hold it back. I think he felt that he was supposed to be a man-elf in these situations and that he should protect me.
I didn't care, I thought of him as the older brother that I never had.
"Legolas?" I asked.
"Yes, Leuthil?" he replied in a caring tone.
"I'm scared," I said. I was trying to keep it in. To try being like him, but I couldn't.
"It's fine, I'll protect you," he said.
I smiled and held his hand tighter, "Alright." I felt safe. He was my older brother, my "sub" father. The one who will teach me how to hunt and kill!
We kept walking in darkness, until I stubbed my toe on a rock. Or I thought it was a rock.
"Ow!" I yelled in pain. And my voice echoed back at me, which was weird, because I was listening to myself talking.
"Shh!" Legolas said as he felt a torch on the wall. He lit it up with a stick.
I tried to protest, but I quickly stopped after seeing the cave itself.
It was a cave, yes, but elven chairs gathered up in a circle, were there, they were old, but delicate, with fine wood carvings. A table was in the middle and there were some elven games, just waiting to be played. Waiting for the children to find them.
Legolas and I stared in awe. Wow, it was amazing.
"Leuthil?" he asked.
"Yes?" I replied.
"We found a fort!" he said as he walked around.
"Yes, I know, but its not ours, what if it's somebody else's fort?" I asked.
"The furniture looks old, no one has been here in a long time. How about we make it ours?" he asked.
"What?"
"Make it ours! We'll come here every morning after breakfast!" he said excitedly.
I started to get excited as well.
"Yes! That's a wonderful idea!" I said to him smiling.

"Well, Elriondir, shall we call the children for dinner?" Thranduil said.
"Oh yes, I believe that it has already past the time our feast," the Queen of East Bight said politely.
"Yes," Elriondir said, "last time I checked they were both over by the garden."
"Alright, let's have you two ladies go ahead to the feast, and my friend and I will go and fetch the children," Thranduil said with a smile.
Elriondir nodded and they began to walk towards the garden.
~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~
We played games and laughed, we were having so much fun. And the best part was you didn't have the grown-ups telling you what to do.
~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~
"Legolas!"
"Leuthil!"
"Where could they be?" Thranduil said with a frown on his face. The sun was beginning to set.
Both of the fathers started to get worried about the where-abouts and safety of their own children.
~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~
We began to play the game of tag and my stomach growled.
I forgot about dinner.
"Legolas!" I said, in the middle of tag. "Dinner!"
"Oh no," he said. "I hope we're not late!"
"I don't want to get in trouble," I said as we ran back up to the entrance of the cave.
"Me either!" Legolas said as we ran in front of the cave. "Oh no!" he yelled soon after. He had dropped the torch and the flame went out.
"It's alright," I said to him, "we just need to go, now!"
We then heard growling.
"Leuthil." he said as we were almost right in front of the cave mouth.
"That wasn't me."
"Well, it wasn't me either," Legolas said while looking around. "Sh!" he warned me by placing a finger to his lips.
It was dark, inside the cave and out, I began to become afraid of what presence waited for us outside of the cave. But I could tell it was something evil.
"If we run," he whispered. "We should be able to make it out, do you remember the way out of the forest?"
"I think so," I said unsure.
"Alright, ready?"
"Yes," I said in the same unsure voice.
"Go!" he whispered and we ran outside. We kept running, but Legolas stopped me. Nothing was there.
"Hm, that's odd," he said.
"Let's just get out of here," I said.
"It's still here, I just can't see it," he said, looking around.
"I really don't want to look for it so lets just-"
I turned around and there was an ugly, smelling orc in front of me.
I screamed and Legolas turned around also and gave a scream of shock.
The orc took out a dagger and I stood there, still screaming in fear.
The orc thrusted the dagger at me but I moved as much as I could to get out of the way. I began to run, but it grabbed my hair.
"Ow!" I yelled. I heard Legolas screaming behind me, but it wasn't the same kind of scream that I was letting out. It was a battle cry. He still had the arrow and they begun to fight.
I wanted to help, but I couldn't. I just stood there, in fear. Fear of Legolas losing his life, fear for my own life and shocking fear. I have never seen an orc before, but I knew it was one, from the bedtime stories that Ada and Nana told me.
The arrow broke after a few seconds of combat. He threw the pointed end at the orc and the orc fell to his knees, screaming in pain. Wow.
"See, I told you I could protect you," he said in between gasps for air.
"Not likely," Thranduil's voice said from behind the orc.
~*~ Wow, shocking. Well, please Review to tell me what you think of it! Thank you!~*~
