Author's Note-No idea if they had dogs in Middle Earth. They're going to be in this story but only briefly.

Elladan could do nothing but stare at the two before him. He stared mainly at Nanaylia, her skin glistening from the water on it. Elrohir looked over at his brother and narrowed his eyes at Elladan's dumbfounded look. He looked back at the two siblings, not even wondering what was causing it. He couldn't believe it himself that both Legolas and Nanaylia had decided to go swimming without any clothes on.

"They are crazy," Elrohir muttered to himself.

Elladan wasn't paying attention to his brother. He couldn't help but stare at the female elf standing in the nude before him.

"Nanaylia," he whispered as he felt himself becoming aroused by the sight before him.

He watched as Nanaylia waded over to her brother, who saw the slightly worried look that was still on her face. Legolas really wanted to reassure his sister.

"Everything will be fine. No one will find us here, not even the twins. No one will see you in this situation save me. Just imagine what the twins would think if they ever saw you like this," Legolas whispered to her, placing a hand on Nanaylia's arm.

"Alright, I believe you now," she whispered back. "And I cannot imagine what those two would think but I think it would be interesting to see."

He stood up and embraced her. She accepted it as she took in his scent and he took in hers. She soon felt him leading her towards the side of the pond. Legolas sat down on a rock next to the edge and Nanaylia soon curled up beside him before they continued to converse.

Elladan didn't hear the conversation. He was still paying attention to her. The only thing that was remotely breaking through his trance was the slight pain that was increasing in his groin. He groaned slightly as Elrohir glanced over at him. The twin waved a hand in front of Elladan's face with no reaction whatsoever and narrowed his eyes. He placed a hand on his brother's shoulder.

"This is worse than what I first thought," whispered Elrohir before giving his brother a shake.

Elladan regained his senses and stared at his brother. A small blush appeared on his cheeks as he placed a hand on his forehead. Elladan had to turn away from his brother.

"What was I doing?" he asked, placing his other hand on his stomach.

"Nothing but stare at Nanaylia like some love-struck idiot. What happened to you just now?" Elrohir replied, trying to avert his stare from the two.

"I... I do not know," stammered Elladan as he continued to stare at the two.

Nanaylia was just about asleep in her brother's arms and they could tell that. Legolas was now rubbing her shoulder as he watched her sleep.

"We should really leave them alone. We have no idea if they even thought about what they are going to do. We shall wait until later to pull off our plan," Elrohir whispered to Elladan.

Elladan nodded as he turned around and quickly crawled over to a nearby tree. As much as he wanted to, he couldn't get the recent images out of his brain. His whole body shuddered as Elrohir came up from behind. He was becoming more worried about his brother. Elrohir soon noticed that Elladan still had a hand placed on his stomach.

"Elladan, are you alright?" asked Elrohir, placing a hand on his brother's shoulder.

Elladan didn't answer as he placed his head on the tree. He couldn't bear to let anyone, not even his brother, see him like this. He was embarassed that Elrohir was already seeing him in that position.

"I will be fine," Elladan managed to say finally.

Elrohir looked over his brother and somehow knew that Elladan wasn't going to be fine just yet. The sight had done something to him and Elrohir figured he might know what it was but he wasn't certain. And he knew that Elladan wasn't going to be telling him anytime soon.

"We should leave now Elladan," Elrohir quietly told him.

Elladan nodded, closing his eyes one more time and taking a deep breath. He glanced over at the two Mirkwood siblings one last time before managing to stand up.

'I feel that Elrohir probably knows what is happening to me. Even if he does not, I cannot talk to him about it. I know he will laugh at me once I do,' Elladan thought to himself. "We will go now."

The twins began to walk away but a different sound stopped them. It was almost the cry of an animal and it was getting closer. An arrow soon came through the trees and landed on the ground near the two elves. Legolas and Nanaylia were both surprised by it. The twins looked to see Nanyalia quickly cover herself with her arms and Legolas placed his arms around her in order to protect her.

It was then that a group of men walked into view of the pond and the twins were alarmed by this. They were all on horses and even had a couple of dogs with them

"This cannot be their idea! There are no men for miles! Nanaylia is the not the type to put herself in that position or anyone else she knows in danger," Elrohir said.

"Well, what are we going to do?" wondered Elladan as they continued to look at the scene.

"I do not know... yet," replied Elrohir.

They watched as one of the men got off their horse and headed in the direction of the brother and sister.

"Well, well, well. What have we got here?" he asked. "Two elves sitting in a pond with no way out."

He gazed over at Nanaylia sitting in Legolas' arms. His stare turned to lust the more he looked over her.

"So beautiful," he whispered.

Legolas heard what he said and placed himself between the man and his sister. The man saw what he was doing and became angry with this. Legolas knew what the man would want to look at.

"I want the two of you to get out now!" cried the man.

"Never!" Legolas replied, holding his sister even closer to him. "Besides, you are the ones who are trespassing onto this land."

"Neither of you are in a position to argue with me right now," the man replied. "Get out now or the both of you will die right where you are."

Legolas looked at Nanaylia and both were thinking the same thing. They walked to the edge of the pond and climbed out. The twins were surprised to see that both of Thranduil's children had clothes on: Legolas had some leggings on while Nanaylia had a thin dress on, which they didn't see at a mere glance and both were confused with this revelation.

'This does not make sense. How could we have not seen the dress that Nanaylia is wearing? I mean, we did see her with nothing on her body and the same with Legolas. We would have seen the clothes through the water. Unless, of course, that was their plan. To make us think they were swimming in the nude when they were really not! But right now, I do not think that is important,' Elrohir thought to himself.

"We should help them!" Elladan told his brother, before trying to stand up.

Elrohir pulled him back down and the twin wondered why, a look of confusion on his face.

"We should not let them know that we are here yet. We should wait and see what they do first. If they decide to head back to their camp, we can attack them by surprise and more easily. Right now there are two of us and many of them. We will be caught as well if we attack them now," explained Elrohir.

Elladan accepted the answer as they watched the group. His stare soon came to Nanaylia. The water was making the clothes stick to her body, outlining the curves of her body. He could almost feel himself melting at the sight.

'Nanaylia, you are so beautiful...' he thought to himself before the man's voice broke through his concentration.

"We shall head back to the camp with our pris... er... guests," the man said before he walked up to Legolas. "My name is Althar, the leader of this group of men. Who might you be?"

"We are servants to the king," Legolas replied, not wanting the men to know they had captured the king's children or their names.

Nanaylia realized this and kept quiet, deciding to talk only when she was spoken to. Althar walked over to her and grasped her chin in his hand. He forced her to look at him and he could the fear in her eyes. He stared at her and she could almost see lust in his eyes.

"You are a beautiful elf. The king must be proud to have someone like you working for him," Althar said.

"Leave her alone," Legolas told the man.

The man looked at the elf and walked back over to him.

"Remember that you are not in control here," Althar told him. "I won't warn you again. Chain them up! We're leaving!"

The two elves were soon chained by their wrists and forced to walk as the others rode on their horses.

Soon after the group of men left with their prisoners, Elladan and Elrohir walked out of their hiding spot.

"This is not good. Not good at all," Elladan said.

"Aye. Who would have thought that one of these times, things would go like this? Maybe Arwen was right in worrying about this. Something unexpected did go wrong," Elrohir agreed.

"What are we going to tell their father?" wondered Elladan as he glanced over at his brother.

"I do not know. I really do not know but we should follow them before something happens to either of them," Elrohir replied before he started to head after the men.

Elladan watched his brother and shrugged his shoulders before following him.
