A/N- I'm really getting into Leggy's EVIL vibes now. I think he is secretly evil in the films. If you go back to his ding dong with Aragorn in Two Towers (while watched by about a thousand random bearded guys) you'll see just before Aragorn storms out that Legolas has BLACK EYES! EEEEEEVIL! Anyways, thanks for the feedback. I'm thinking of ending each chapter with Legolas smirking, whattaya think?
Don't hate me for my (apalling) Elvish. I can still speak it better than German though....

Chapter Two- The Road Home
Legolas was packing his things in his room when Gimli found him-
''And where exactly do you think you're going?'' asked the dwarf
''Home.'' said Legolas shortly as he continued to pack his things
''Now? I thought we were staying here for a time?''
''What's the point?'' Legolas asked as he pushed a shirt into his bag.
''Aragorn's your best friend, I thought you would want to share in his happiness.'' said Gimli, coming into the room and closing the door.
''I HAVE shared in his happiness. Now I wish to go home. I've been away for a long time...''
''We all have sonny. You can't pull the wool over my eyes....what's happened?''
''Nothing my friend! I simply wish to get a head start for home. Lord Elrond and Glorfindel are leaving in the morning to head North. I will go with them.''
''Legolas-''
Gimli's question was halted by a knock at the door. Gimli pulled it open.
''Here they are!'' said Aragorn, half-drunk. Arwen was behind him.
''You're leaving?'' she asked as she spied Legolas' belongings on the bed.
''In the morning.'' said the prince curtly.
Arwen took one look at the expression on his face and knew not to say anything more.
''Of course my friend, it is to be understood. You long for your home. I hope you will return to us soon.''
''Oh don't worry Elessar.'' said Legolas as he turned and looked at Arwen. ''I'll be back before you know it.''
Arwen felt uncomftable at his words. It seemed like a threat. Sinister, almost evil.
''Come along Aragorn, we are wanted back in the main hall.'' said the Queen as she grabbed Aragorn's arm and started to pull him out of the room.
''We'll be in the courtyard tommorow morning, to see you off...first thing!'' called Aragorn as he dissappeared round a corner after his wife.
Legolas was left alone with Gimli again.
''What?'' asked the elf as saw the dwarf's dissaproving gaze upon him.
''I just wish you would TALK to me!''
''What's to talk about? Now if you'll excuse me, I have an early start tommorow and I wish to go to bed. Goodnight.''
Legolas ushered Gimli from the room and closed the door on his face.
''Pig ignorant, pompos little.....'' muttered Gimli furiously as he walked to his own room.
He knew that Legolas had a hidden agenda. He just wish he knew what it was.
The next morning dawned bright and the sun shone high over the White City. The tower of Ecthelion glimmerered like a beacon for all to see for miles around Gondor.
In the courtyard, the small company of Lord Elrond, Glorfindel, Legolas and a few of their companions who had journeyed to Gondor for Aragorn's coronation, prepared to leave for the North. Aragorn himself was also there as promised, with Arwen. She was unhappy at her Father's parting.
''You will come and visit before you leave for Valinor, won't you Ada?'' she asked as she embraced Elrond.
''Of course melleth nin.''
Elrond went over to say farewell to Aragorn and Arwen approached Legolas-
''You have been such a good friend to Aragorn, and so kind to me. It's more....far more than I deserve after the way I treated you. Thankyou Legolas, truly.''
''Please my lady, there is no need.'' said Legolas, biting back the urge to tell Arwen how he really felt.
''Still the perfect gentleman.'' smiled Arwen as Aragorn joined them.
''I think you're all ready to go. Farewell my friend, and hanon le.''
Legolas mounted his horse and prepared to leave the courtyard.
''May your journey North be a safe one My Lords.'' said Aragorn. ''Farewell.''
Legolas looked back at Arwen once before turning his horse and following the others out of the city.
It was sunset when the company stopped to rest on the edge of Gondor. The horses dozed under a tree whilst the elves sat around their hastily built campfire and ate some food given to them for the long journey ahead by Aragorn. Legolas ate quickly and went for a walk a little way from the group, stopping to sit on a rock and admire the glorious sunset. He had been sat only a few minutes when he was interrupted.
''Legolas, might I have a word?''
''Lord Elrond.....have you thought anymore about our...discussuion?''
Elrond moved to sit next to the younger elf on the rock.
''Yes. That is what I wanted to talk to you about. Leaving my daughter today greived me. I am interested to know how it is that you will get her to agree to sail to the Undying Lands?''
''That is something that I have given great thought to. I have a plan. Aragorn will not come out of it well, but it's not him that we are doing this for.....is it?''
Something danced in Legolas' eyes. A menacing evil. Elrond could not deny that Legolas was becoming irrational. But Elrond needed him. He needed Legolas so that his daughter could live.
''This is what I propose.'' said Legolas, turning to face Elrond. ''I do not mean to act straight away. I will wait until Arwen has given Aragorn an heir. Only then will I make my move. Then if anything.....happens to Aragorn his line will not be broken. I promise you my lord. Arwen will leave for Valinor with the the two of us. She will leave Aragorn and even her children willingly. She will reclaim her immortal life.''
''What is it that you plan to do to lure Arwen away from Middle-Earth so easily?'' asked Elrond with some fear in his voice.
''Does it matter?'' snapped Legolas. ''For the greater good, sacrifices must be made.''
He stood up, towering over Elrond.
''If you try and stop me-''
''I am not trying to stop you Legolas.'' said Elrond quickly. ''I...trust you.'' the words stuck in his throat as soon as he had spoken.
''You will not regret this my Lord.''
Legolas jumped down from the rock and made his way back to the camp without a second glance.
''I hope not...'' whispered Elrond as he watched the last of the sun dissappear into the horizon, and the stars appear in the sky.
