Insecurities
By Stephanie L. Summary: Lord Elrond decides they need a vacation, so he offers to escort his daughter, and the Lord Elves home, along with his family. After spending a week in Lothlorien they begin to head home. However, tragedy strikes when Elrond and Estel are taken captive. The Orcs Torture Estel terribly. Can they be saved before both are killed?
Disclaimer: Don't own the LotR characters, I don't own the songs "I will be There" or "Somewhere Out There".
Author's Note: There's violence, mental, emotional and physical abuse in this story. This is a violent story when the Orcs come in. I believe, as Cassia and Sio, when the book says raised by Elrond, they mean Elrond became a father figure. That Gilrain and Arathorn both died when Aragorn was but a baby.
Rated: PG-13 for violence and abuse.

~A Vacation~
Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I, I will be here
If in the dark we lose sight of love
Hold my hand and have no fear
'Cause I, I will be here
I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to crying
Through the winning, losing and trying
We'll be together
'Cause I will be here
Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I, I will be here
As sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for these years
So I, I will be here
I will be here
So you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here, hmmm
I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the One who gave you to me
And just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for these years
So I, I will be here
We'll be together
I will be here
Elrond smiled gently as he looked out over the gardens, there sat his beautiful elfish daughter and eight year old son Estel. Estel's legs were swinging just above the ground, their length having given him the nick name Longshanks among his friends. Elrond sighed as he caught part of their conversation.
"How long until I shall see you again?" Inquired Estel, Arwen would be leaving in two days, and Estel was going to miss her dearly.
"I do not know," answered Arwen truthfully.
"If I am a man when you return, would you marry me?" Elrond frowned slightly at this, however Arwen smiled and laughed gently.
"I would be indeed foolish to turn such an offer as that down," she responded.
"I shall miss you," he murmured.
"Ay, and I you young one," she answered. There was a gentle moment of silence as the two thought.
"Arwen, do you believe in fate?" Smiling softly Arwen nodded.
"I do dear one, I certainly do."
"Do you believe I was destined to be.........elf-like?" Arwen knew the truth of this child's destiny. Elrond held his breath in fear. Would she speak.
"I believe you are destined for many wonderful things young one. Just wait, you will be very important to all of us one day Estel. Just wait."
"I don't feel very important now." She chuckled softly.
"Ay, you shall child, just give it time."

Elrond smiled as he sat at the dinner table, surrounded by his family, he was half listening to Arwen talk about all that there was to see in her home, while Galadriel tried to speak to Celeborn and Elrond about some dangers in their home.
"I have come to a decision," Elrond began, unable to hold in his excitement any longer, "when Arwen, Celeborn, and Galadriel leave in two days, we shall be accompanying them home. It will be a good chance for us to spend time together, and on the way home, we will teach Estel hunting and fishing," Elrond said smiling.
"Really Ada!?" Came Estel's excited voice.
"Yes seldo nin, we shall return after a week in Lothlorien," Elrond said. Estel smiled and clapped his hands in excitement.
Later that evening, Elrond walked into the great room to see where his children had disappeared to, only to find them on the sofa reading. Elladan was in the middle of the group, Elrohir on his left side head on Elladan's shoulder. Arwen was on Elladan's right, her head also on his shoulder, while in her arms she held Estel, who was sleeping, along with Arwen.
"Hello Ada," came Elrohir's sleepy voice as he listened to his brother speak.
"It may be time for bed young ones," Elrond whispered as he lifted Estel into his arms. Smiling Elrohir stood up and lifted Arwen into his arms.
Elrond smiled as he placed his son in his bed, smoothing some of his dark hair away from his eyes Elrond sighed.
"Sleep young one, for tomorrow we prepare to leave," Elrond said placing a kiss on the boy's head.
"Ada," called Estel before his father left the room.
"Yes seldo nin?"
"Thank you for letting us have a vacation," he whispered.
"Aye child, you are more than welcome, now sleep ion nin," he whispered blowing out the light and closing the door.
