Chapter Two: Losing Hope

Later that evening, the twins and Legolas were entering the dining room after spending the entire afternoon in the gardens, laughing.

The three stopped dead in their track standing open mouthed when they found it empty.

"Where is everybody?" Elrohir asked in bewilderment.

"Looking for Estel"

The three jumped and turned to find out who managed to creep up on them like that.

"What do you mean looking for Estel?" Elladan demanded, trying as much as he can to hide his startle and surprise from the elf before him.

"Where is he Erestor?" Elrohir demanded himself, quickly wearing the same mask his twin and Legolas wore.

Feeling somewhat smug over his achievement of startling the three princes whom rarely ever caught off guard, Erestor replied: "When your Adar went to wake him, he wasn't there, every available elf in the house is looking for the young one"

"Are you sure he is still in the vicinity of the house?" Legolas inquired

"I'm sure he is, he never goes too far" Elladan sighed heavily

"But he is good at hiding…"Elrohir explained "he's definitely his father's son" he added grumpily.

"He's done this before?" Legolas as he walked with the twins whom started the search for their brother.

"He doesn't do it on purpose, every time he has a nightmare he runs out of his room, not even aware to his surroundings until he fully wakes up and realize he's lost" Elladan supplied

Picking up from where Elladan stopped Elrohir continued, " So he hides, poor thing, terrified and it's up to us to find him" then added thoughtfully "It's a big house and he still does not know it well, he really should not be left alone when asleep"

Nodding the three stopped at an intersection and decided to split up, and so Legolas left to the gardens, Elrohir kept straight down the hall as Elladan took the left hall that led to the private chambers section.

(Two Hours Later)

"Anything?" Elladan asked hopefully as he dropped on the couch next to his twin who shook his head, they both turned to find their father and his close friends and advisors Erestor and Glorfindel.

Elrond shook his head sadly.

"Let us hope Legolas has had more luck" Elrohir sighed getting a collective nod from the occupants in the room.
