I Feel Happy [Jumps Around Excitedly]
-Beginning 'n' End- Sorry, I can't tell you anything about anyone. Except maybe about the 2 guys, and even then I can only tell you their dead. Hope you enjoy the chapters. Thanks for your feedback.
You know what after seeing Van Helsing I actually felt a little bad for making him the bad guy. Oh Well.
Anyways here's Chapter 3. Thanks Again for your reviews.
Chapter 3: Running and Searching
Elladans head shot up at the sound, instinctively pressing the cat closer to his body. The cat let out a smell yelp of pain at the sudden pressure on her wounds. Elladan shifted his hold so that it no longer longer hurt her.
Searching the area for this new threat Elladans mind wondered back to his friends who were probably no longer where he left them. All three had left the house without any weapons of any sort. Since they would be within Imladris's borders, they thought the magic of Vilya would protect them from any evil creature.
But then again he was not right now within those sacred borders, and chances were good that Elrohir and Legolas were also not in those borders. And this new threat sounded big.
Now Elladan had never been the type who approved of cowardess nor one to run from a fight with his tail between his legs. He had always been the first to run headlong into anything fate put before him. But realizing right now if he fought the odds would not be in his favor he did something he would never admit to ever doing to any one, not even his own twin.
He ran. Heading back the way he came
Meanwhile
Back at the river Elrohir and Legolas were searching up and down the river for Elladan. He had left them sometime while they slept, leaving no clues, no hints, nothing giving any indication as to his sudden unannounced departure.
When Elrohir first discovered he was missing he had assumed Elladan was playing a prank on them and had hidden in a bush and while they searched for him he would jump out and scare them witless. But no such thing had happened. And now Elrohir was worried. They split into two groups hoping one would find something. Legolas would search near, around, and behind the falls while Elrohir searched near the water. So far nothing had been found.
Where is he? He wouldn't had left us here and headed back home without us. Elrohir thought.
Legolas was also worried for his missing friend. Elladan had done similar things in the past, but only when he had a prank waiting for them. He remembered one time Elladan woke before them and had gone off somewhere and didn't return until after they were awake. They were returning home, unconsciously following Elladan's lead, never realizing that this was exactly what he wanted. Neither of them knew what had happened until it happened and it had happened so fast Legolas couldn't quite recall everything that had happened. All he remember was his feet suddenly being swept out from under him, and feeling the cool wind against his face as his body took flight. He felt a rush of panic as the ground came quickly to meet him. His nose stopped two feet from the ground. After the fact that he was no longer getting a formal, yet painful meeting with the forest floor below, sunk in he realized what had happened, His foot was caught in a snare that was set by none other than Elladan himself. Who was currently on the ground rolling with laughter.
Elrohir would have probably laughed to if it weren't for the fact that his own brother had him caught and strung up in a net that was covered in some sort of sticky substance.
Legolas smiled at the memory, it had happened three hundred yeas ago, but it still seemed so recent.
Not finding any trace of Elladan near the falls he was looking around, he sadly returned to Elrohir empty handed.
Elrohir hated the thought of returning home with nothing but the knowledge that Elladan went missing without a trace.
Perhaps when Estel returned he would find clues we had missed earlier but we would have to wait a few weeks for Estel to arrive home, and even then it was uncommon that he would return unharmed and ada would force him to take a bed rest until he said otherwise. That would last another week, then we would need to get a search party together and ready, Elrohir closed his eyes and reached his hands up to grab handfuls of hair as he shook his head at the thought of how much time it would take before they started the search and probable rescue. Aye!!! It would take too long! Any number of things could happen while we waited! By the time we acutely found him it would be too late! Horrible images flashed through his mind at one time:
Brutal orc attacks.
Wargs gnawing on his lifeless carcass.
Wolves feasting on his entrails.
Falling off a cliff onto jagged rocks below.
Drowning in the river below them
Wait! The river! Drowning! Elrohir looked into water below him. The bottom could easily be seen in the shallow ends of the crystal blue water. But it became more difficult to see as you moved towards the more deeper ends of the river. In fact you couldn't see the bottom at all in the middle, even with elf eyes. Images of his brother floating lifeless somewhere in deep dark depths surfaced in Elrohir's mind. And without further thought he ran into the water until his feet slipped on the bottom then he swam to the middle.
Taking several deep breaths, each one deeper than the last, he plunged into water and began his search there.
Legolas watched as Elrohir disappeared beneath the waters surface. Similar images of Elladan drowning flashed through his mind as well. A spike of fear surged through Legolas's entire being at the thought of one of his closes friends dead. He wasn't sure he knew how to react to the thought of the dead elf. Humans yes, he was prepared for the death of those, his closest friend was human, death was expected. But an elf. The thought never occurred. He was afraid though he would never admit to it. He was Very afraid.
Six minutes later Elrohir resurfaced, took another deep breath then dived again. He searched for as long as could without air. But even elves need to breath, and each time he went down he got further than the last. After three or four dives, he wasn't counting, he eventually reached the bottom. Unfortunately he had a very great need for air by the time he got there. Taking a quick look around and seeing no signs of his brother he pushed himself of the river bed propelling upward.
However, he was quickly running out of oxygen. His lungs and mind were screaming for air, his heart thudded loudly in his chest he could hear it in his ears. Spots danced in front of his eyes and his ears hurt from not being able to properly relieve the pressure that had built up. He was going to pass out before breached the surface.
He needed air and he needed it badly.
Legolas and Elladan walk out in MIB uniforms and sunglasses. Both on either side of authoress.
O.K. I'm stopping here for now. Mostly because … well I can. Secondly because I ran out of ideas for this chapter and it sounded like a good place to stop.
Audience looks ready to charge with pitchforks, shovels, torches, and other various objects.
HeHe I know I'm evil. But that's why I hired these two [points to elven guards. Then reaches into pocket and pulls out dark glasses]
The elves look to one another. With a short nod they pull out a nurolizer. [ the MIB flashy, memory eraser thingy]
Legolas: You will remember nothing
Elladan: The chapter you just read has no cliffhangers in it.
Legolas: The light you just saw was a spot light in your eyes.
Authoress: And in the event you do remember any cliff hangers, you will not harm me in any way, shape, or form.
Audience blinks as they come around. Authoress removes her glasses and continues final words as if nothing's happened.
Hey at least we all know where Elladan is. [Points to Elladan on her left] He's right here, and for now unharmed. [Eyes glow red and dark aura glows around her] But if you don't review I might quickly change that.
[Authoress becomes normal again] By the way do like my clones. I always loved elves in black. That was a good story to, who wrote it? I can't find it, if you know tell me please.
[ Hooks arms into an arm of each elf] And before you ask no they are not for sale.
T.T.F.N. {yes I know not my saying, but hey I like it}
