A/N To those of you who liked the last chapter and reviewed it I thank you. Also I am thinking about ending the fic quite soon. I'm not sure because I have a few ideas that I am considering. As far as I know there could be anywhere from one to ten more chapters. I am considering about three. I don't know what will happen so if I hurt a character I apologize. You see I write the author's notes before I write the chapter. I write the reviewer responses after the chapter. ^^ now that I have bored you all to tears, on with the fic!

Glorfindel left the hall where he had been speaking with Estel and went to Elladan and Elrohir's rooms. He thought maybe the twins had said something or that they knew why Estel was acting the way he was. Glorfindel only knew he didn't want to see the family suffering so badly. He too missed Estel and to see the way the boy was acting, well that was too much for him.

He reached Elrohir's room and knocked. Glorfindel wasn't sure if Elladan and Elrohir were together or if they were in their rooms at all. He knew that they had to be in the house since it was raining so hard outside.

The door opened and Elrohir looked out and cocked his head to the side when he saw Glorfindel. "We have not done anything wrong…" Elrohir started

Glorfindel smiled at the elf, "I know; I came here to ask you something about Estel."

Elladan came to the door behind his brother and looked at Glorfindel. "Why?"

Glorfindel sighed, Elladan didn't look happy nor did he look like he was in the mood for what Glorfindel was about to tell them. "I just had a conversation with Estel and he is upset because he thinks you and your father have lied to him."

Elrohir nodded, "He said as much when we saw him yesterday."

Elladan started, "What do you mean, you just had a conversation with Estel?" he demanded.

Glorfindel looked at him, "He is here, in the house. A bunch of humans needed shelter and Estel came with them."

The twins looked confused and surprised at the same time.

"Why would he think we lied to him?" Elrohir asked

"He was angry because you never told him of his heritage." Glorfindel said

"What do you mean?" Elladan asked

"I came to ask you two the same thing. May I come in?" Glorfindel wanted to be able to sit down before he told the two what had happened. Normally he would have gone to Elrond but since the elf lord was asleep he didn't want to bother him.

Elrohir nodded, "Of course, take a seat." The twins both sat down and looked at Glorfindel.

"When I was speaking to Estel he asked me why he had never been told his birth name and his heritage." Glorfindel told them

"What?" Elladan asked, "How does he know anything of that anyway?"

Glorfindel shook his head, "I do not know. I thought maybe you two had mentioned something."

Elrohir shook his head, "No, we don't talk of Arathorn around Estel. Ada wants to explain to him when he is older."

Glorfindel nodded, "I know that; I was just wondering if you had said anything. You might not have meant for it to happen, but he seems to have found something out."

"We said nothing near him; or even in the house for that matter." Elladan told him

Elrohir looked thoughtful, "We did speak of Arathorn when we were in the woods."

Elladan looked horrified, "He must have been spying on us!"

Glorfindel looked at Elladan, "He needs to be explained to."

Elladan nodded, "By whom? We can't just go to the guest chambers and take him from his new family! He is also mad and never wants to speak with us again."

Glorfindel looked at Elladan and Elrohir. He rested a hand on Elladan's shoulder, "Go to your brother. He needs to talk to you. He is in his bed room, I think it is the only place he still feels safe. You must talk to him before he leaves. When the rain storm stops he will leave with the humans."

The twins looked at each other sadly and then back to Glorfindel.

"I will talk to Estel." Elladan stated

Elrohir nodded, "I will stay here, if we both go he will probably feel intimidated."

Glorfindel nodded to them, "I must go. I will tell your father all of what has happened; he is asleep. When he awakens I will tell him. Go talk to your younger brother, he needs you right now."

Elladan nodded and left the room. Elrohir looked at Glorfindel and smiled at the older elf.

"Thank you, I know we do awful things to you sometimes but thank you for telling us of our brother."

Glorfindel squeezed the younger elf's arm, "I know you bother me and I get angry at both of you, but I never doubted your love for your brother. I am very fond of both of you twin terrors." He smiled at the younger elf and left the room.

Elrohir sighed, hoping that his twin would be able to convince their younger brother to come back. He was praying to the Valars that Elladan would be able to explain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elladan walked down the hallway that led to Estel's bedroom. He hoped his younger brother would at least listen to him. He needed to explain what had happened. Elrond had forbidden the twins from telling Estel anything of his heritage and birthright, but this might be a good time to at least explain a little. Elladan knocked on the door before quietly pushing it open a little. On the bed he could see the form of a little boy with short blond hair crying on the bed. He walked over and sat down.

Estel looked up and glared at his brother before trying to hit him, he seemed to have forgotten that both Elladan and Elrohir were accomplished warriors; Elladan just grabbed Estel's arm. Estel tried to pull away but Elladan held on to him.

"Let me go Elladan!" Estel snapped angrily. He was speaking in elvish; as much as he hated to admit it he still was very fond of the language. It was his first language and he preferred it to common.

Elladan looked at him but shook his head, "No Estel, listen to me first."

"Why? So you can tell me more things, more lies?" He demanded angrily,

"No, so that I can explain," Elladan's eyes were pleading with his younger brother to listen.

"Why bother? You, Elrohir, and adar all lied to me!" Estel said, trying not to start crying again.

"Estel we messed up. Please, just listen to me." Elladan said softly

Estel shrugged and finally managed to yank his arm away. "I'll listen, but I doubt I can believe you." In Estels' heart he was wishing he had never left, angry as he was with his brothers, he still loved them very much. Estel sat down on the bed about three feet away from Elladan. He wanted his brother to hold him but he was still too angry to allow him to.

"I cannot tell you everything, so please forgive me." Elladan told him, "I will tell you what I can."

Estel nodded, that was fine he just wanted to try to understand. He didn't like his family anymore especially after what Salnwen and Salndir had told him.

"They don't love you; lies are all they can say. Your real family died because of them!" Salndir hissed,

"No! You're lying to me!" Estel shouted; but the tears had already betrayed how he felt.

Estel stiffened at the memory of those words. They had hurt and he hoped that Elladan would be able to explain.

Elladan noticed the change in how Estel was holing himself. "Are you alright?" He asked

Estel nodded, "Yes, tell me why I was lied to."

Elladan sighed, "Estel we never lied to you. There we things we didn't tell you because we were afraid you wouldn't fully understand the concept."

"So you just kept the truth from me?" Estel asked scornfully

"No Estel, we didn't tell you everything because we didn't think you would take it seriously." Elladan said softly,

"Oh but you let my parents die?" Estel snapped,

Elladan's face darkened and Estel knew he had hit a nerve. "Estel, that was too far."

"Why? I was just saying." Estel sneered

"What is the matter with you?" Elladan demanded

"Nothing, I am just wondering why you didn't tell me." He said

"Estel I already told you why we didn't tell you."

"That isn't good enough Elladan!" Tears were prickling at the back of Estel's eyes and his lower lip was trembling.

Elladan sighed and pulled his little brother into his arms, "I love you Estel, please just hear me out."

Estel clung to Elladan but soon pushed him away, "Get off! I hate you get off of me! This is another lie I can't believe I almost trusted you!" Estel jumped off the bed and ran out of the room.

Elladan sighed and flopped on Estel's bed. How could he have been so stupid? He groaned and got up. If he was to help his brother understand he had to go and wake their father. He didn't want to because he knew how tired Lord Elrond was after all the worrying he had been doing. His shoulders sagged and he walked from the room.
