A/N: Hey, I'm back I now know what I want to do all the way through at least chapter 11. So to insure that these last a little longer I'm setting up a few days distance between chapters.

-Beginning 'n' End- I think your right this will be a long story, but I'll try to keep it under 30.Thanks for your suggestions, but I have a different idea. You are close to what I'm getting at though. And regarding the twist in ch. 4 I heard a story about a set of twins that were separated one went to one end of the country and the other stayed at the other end. One day one twin broke his leg and the other felt it he said the pain was so real he had the doctors x-ray his leg, but they found nothing wrong. Other similar incidents have been recorded so I thought it would be better than what most people did.

In case you haven't noticed I try to be different in my writing.

-Zammy- Here's your chapter hope U like

Chapter 5: Kitty Comes Home

That night Elladan told them what had happened in the clearing. When he got to the part about the box and told in detail Legolas and Elrohir understood why he saved the cat. The night passed quickly for the elves they had posted night watches to keep eyes and ears open for any sign of danger.

Elladan took the whole night shift, he needed to think over what he had felt earlier. When he told the others what had happened he neglected to mention the fact about the strange feelings around the men and boy and the odd need to talk to a cat. The cat in question slowly limped to where Elladan now sat with his back against a tree looking over the river.

Elladan felt something rub against his leg. He looked over at the cat and smiled as he picked her up and placed her comfortably in his lap. He gently scratched the soft fur under her chin. He tried to get back to his musing, but the animals purring kept him from doing so. It relaxed and calmed him, he smiled and held the cat closer when she nuzzled him in the ribs. As the night went by cat and elf forgot the troubles of the world and just sat and listed to the peace around them.

In the morning the elves and cat set out for home.

Elrond stood on his favorite balcony in the whole house, from there he could see all that entered and left Rivendell without being seen himself. Thinking back to the events of yesterday he couldn't help but chuckle at Erestor's expense.

Poor Erestor, thought Elrond. Erestor's books had nearly been ruined because of the twins. He had been so angry at them he probably would have killed them had Glorfindel not interfered. Fortunately the elves in question had been smart enough to leave the scene of the crime. When Erestor had calmed down enough that he could talk without yelling about the demon spawn of Elrond….

Flashback

"Elrond!!!" a shout rang through all of Imladris

Elrond was in the kitchen talking with Glorfindel discussing what needed to be done while he was on patrol when Erestor yelled and almost spilt his cup of steaming tea in his lap.

Glorfindel couldn't help but snicker at the look on the elf lords face, but that quickly changed when Erestor stormed into the kitchen. He was carrying a particularly thick book in one hand. The look on his face would have sent the dark lord Melkor running for cover.

"Lord Elrond!"

"Yes, Erestor?" asked Elrond in a strained politeness. He wanted to keep his advisor calm even though he had been the cause for Elrond nearly scolding himself.

"Do you know what those," Erestor was so angry he couldn't think straight, "those Demon Spawn you call children have done this time!"

"Nay, Erestor I do not know."

"But I have a feeling your going to tell us." mumbled Glorfindel.

"What was that Oh, Great Balrog Slayer?!"

Glorfindel feigned innocence "Who? Me? I don't know what your talking about. I didn't say a word"

If looks could kill, I would have to charge Erestore with murder thought Elrond taking a small sip of tea while he was off Erestor's hit list for now. But not for long.

" Of course, Elrond!"

Elrond jumped almost spilling his tea for a second time. "What did they do this time Erestor?"

"They ruined all my books in the library." and with that he promptly placed the thick book both elf lords recognized as one of the few that contained one of the most detailed accounts of the first age in the Last Homely House (and probably anywhere else in Adra).

Opening to the first few pages reveled a very interesting drawing of an elf sticking out his tongue signed by Elrohir, numerous other pictures along with a few words from Elladan were placed throughout the book as Elrond flipped through it.

Glorfindel was snickering the entire time barley containing his laughter. He would have to ask the twins later what Erestore had done this time. Glorfindel's laughter was not lost on Erestor, who took the book back from Elrond and started flipping through it, "If you think that's funny, Glorfindel you should see this one." Finding what he was looking for he handed to the Gondolin elf.

Glorfindel was confused he didn't see what Erestor was talking about. " What is it I'm looking at?"

A Smug look crossed the advisors face, he would be more than happy to show the blond elf what the twins put in about him. The smug look on Erestor's face disappeared when he looked over Glorfindel's shoulder. There was nothing there except the words that were normally there.

"Where…What… How did?" Erestor was speechless. Frantically flipping back through the book he found all the marks were disappearing. He set the book down for Elrond to see. All three watched with fascination as all the words and drawings vanished before their very eyes.

Once the last picture was gone they looked at the book in fascination half expecting it to all come back. Then understanding hit Elrond.

"Erestor, go back to the library and check the other books."

" Ye… Yes, Lord Elrond" a now bewildered Erestor took the book and with his nose in it and a still confused look on his face, he left.

"What do think happened?" asked Glorfindel

"Do you remember last time when Gandalf was here.?"

"Aye, four months ago at the twins birthday celebration."

"Good. Now do you remember what he gave them?"

Understanding now hit Glorfindel, who was now smiling. "Oh, so that's what they used it for."

End Flashback

All the books in Erestor's collection were clean and whole with words and all. However, he still insisted that there must be something wrong. He was currently in his room going through all of them. The twins had used the vanishing ink Gandalf had given them for their 3,620th birthday on most of the books, but it had all disappeared by this morning. However, Erestore's humiliation hadn't stopped there, Elrond still laughed at it and Glorfindel hadn't stopped his teasing until yesterday when he left on patrol.

Elrond had meant to talk to his sons about damaging the property of others, even if the damage did disappear later and no real harm was done. But he hadn't seen them since yesterday, before the "Book Incident" (as it was later called). He knew they had left, but didn't know where they had gone. Normally they would tell him where they were going and if they would be gone over night.

He was about to send out a search party and word to Glorfindel to keep an eye out for them when he saw three familiar figures walking towards Imladris in the distance. Breathing a sigh of relief at the sight of them walking in under their own power, but experience taught him that that did not mean they were uninjured.

"…so then he blames it on Estel." said Elrohir earning a laugh from the prince, who now held the cat in his arms.

"Did you really do such a thing, Elladan?" asked Legolas

"Yes and I still feel a little bad about doing that, but if I hadn't I wouldn't have been able to visit Arwen in Lothlorien." said Elladan.

"Is that so, remind me to ask which incident this was, so that I may ground the correct child this time." said Lord Elrond as he walked up to them.

After looking over them for signs of blood, limping, mangled limbs, and anything else he could think of, he pulled each one into a tight hug. Pulling them away he said in a stern commanding voice, "Now would you mind telling me where you were all of yesterday and last night."

"Well you see ada…um" started Elrohir

"We ran into a little trouble.." continued Elladan

"Trouble?!" said Elrond

Legolas choose this time to intervene, " My Lord, before you jump to any conclusions I assure you none of us were injured."

"Really." Elrond sighed in defeat, just happy they were home and in one piece, "Why do I find that hard to believe. Well no matter, come inside and…" he trailed off when he saw the cat in Legolas's arms. "Why are carrying that cat, Legolas?"

"Oh, she's not mine."

"Really? Who's is she?"

"Were not sure ada." said Elrohir

"I found her," said Elladan. "Ada she was in trouble and she's hurt." Taking the cat out of

Legolas's arms to show his father.

"Yes Elladan I see that." said Elrond taking the cat and looking at all the green, browns, and blue bandages decorating the small animal. "I will have the seamstresses make you new cloths." Maybe with something that doesn't tear easily. Thought Elrond

"Can you help her ada?"

Elrond removed the bandages from the cat and was shocked at what he saw.

There was nothing there. No wounds of any sort could be found on the cat. "Elladan are sure this animal was hurt?"

"Yes ada."

"Where?"

Elladan took a closer look at the cat. He didn't see anything. Taking the cat back he looked over where he saw the injuries that were obviously fresh yesterday. Elrohir and Legolas were also bewildered. Legolas had clearly seen the wounds and yet the cat looked as if nothing had ever happened to her.

"I don't understand." said Elladan. He pushed up the fur where the animals leg wound was and saw two neatly almost healed puncture marks.

"She's healed." said Legolas in amazement.

Elladan handed the cat back to his father who quickly looked the animal over. He noticed something he hadn't noticed before. The cat had two different color eyes he had heard of this happening with domestic animals, but had never seen it himself. It was quit odd.

"Ada, I know we haven't had much luck with animals in the past, but I was hoping that.." Elladan hesitated, "we could keep her?"

Elrohir looked up hopefully. He and Elladan had talked about it on the way home, neither had held much hope on their father letting them keep her, but there was always a chance that he might allow it. They had several arguments prepared that would help them in their case to keep the cat, but nothing had prepared them for Elronds answer.

Elrond wasn't sure if he should allow it something about the animal had felt strange to him. Something not quite right about the white ball of fur with two colored eyes he was now holding, but his fears were partially put to rest when the animal licked his nose as if saying please. Elrond was surprised at the creatures actions.

Well I certainly can't turn down that request. He thought as he looked up at the young elves in front of him, They look so hopeful. Well I suppose it wont hurt to have an animal in the house. But there is still this uneasy feeling I get from it. Looking them in the eye he said, "Alright, but you have to take care of her. And if anyone claims her you must return her to the rightful owners. Is that understood."

Broad smiles broke out on the twins faces. Taking the cat back the three elves started heading inside the twins giving their father quick thank yous for the new pet. "Before you go off and play. I want to see you all in my study with good explanations for everything, and leave the cat somewhere."

A simultaneous "Yes, Ada." and "Yes, my Lord" was all that he heard from them as they ran inside. I'll keep my eyes on that cat. Something about it is not right.

Authoress and Elladan and Legolas walk out.

Authoress is wearing cow patterned footy pajamas with hair curlers rolled up in her brown/red hair and has a teddy bear in tow

Legolas: See she came back. [ Pats a very tired looking Authoress on the shoulder]

Elladan: We wouldn't leave her alone until she wrote it.

Authoress: O.K. I wrote it and posted it can I go to bed now?

Legolas: What would you do if we said no.

Elladan and Legolas give Authoress evil smiles

Authoress looks calmly at both elves and says: Then I sell you both to the highest bidding Fan girl or Mary-Sue and become filthy rich then create newer better clones.

Elves faces fall

Elladan: I see.
