Chapter 2 Hunting Trips End November 1 Three months had gone by since Legolas and the twins had met. Now Legolas had returned to Mirkwood and the twins to Rivendell.
Legolas was left alone to wonder the halls of his grandfather's palace. Thranduil watched as his son walk around not talking and not playing pranks, (though the last one Thranduil saw as a bonus) Oropher was just growing plan tried of both his son' and grandson's moods.
One morning during breakfast Oropher suddenly slammed down his cup and yelled at everyone to leave besides the princes of Mirkwood. "What in the world has gotten into you two? You're both so quite all the sudden."
"I am sorry father. I just do not feel myself right now," Thranduil said hoping that Oropher would not press Legolas why he was feeling down.
Oropher just sighed and raised an eyebrow at Legolas. "What do you think of going on a hunting trip with Entoul?"
Legolas' eyes brighten as he moved out from behind his father. He always had found his grandfather a very imposing figure. "I would love to go grandfather!"
"That's what I thought. You will need to be able to leave by the morning."
"Thank you!" Legolas forgot his fear of his grandfather for a minute and threw his arms around him, then went running to his room to get ready.
"He's exactly like his brother, my son," Oropher said to Thranduil
"I know, and Tilant got himself killed."
"Let us just hope that, that will not be Legolas fate."

Elrond was standing on his balcony looking down at the gardens. His sons had been sitting out there all day not even talking. Glorfindel had told him that they had gone off every day when they were near the forest of Mirkwood and no one even knew what they were doing.
Elrond sighed and hung him head. He was one of the wise yet he didn't know how to cheer up his sons. He was so into his thoughts that he didn't even hear Gil-galad come up behind him.
"Do you think you should let them go with Glorfindel to Lothlorien?" questioned Gil-galad.
"My lord." Elrond spun around to face his king and friend. "I think that it would be a good idea," he finally said when he clamed down.
"Shall I go tell them or do you wish to?"
"I think you should for they have not talked to me ever since their last trip with Glorfindel."
"Would you like me to tell them this was all your idea?"
"I think that would help my lord."
Gil-galad left with a smile.

Elladan sighed loudly and looked at his brother. "You want to see him again, don't you?" he questioned, finally breaking the silence.
"Don't you yourself?" his brother responded
"Doesn't he what?" asked Gil-galad coming up from behind them.
"Gil-galad!" both twins shouted in unison
"Who else did expect besides myself or your father, a prince of Mirkwood? Anyway your father would like you to accompany Glorfindel to Lothlorien. Is that all right with you?"
"Of course," said both Elrohir who, like his brother, immediately brightened.
"You leave in two hours then."
"Yes my lord," said both twins, bowing then running to their rooms.
"Do you think he knows?" asked Elladan
"How could he?" was his twins answer
"Well if he does not, Legolas might be in Lothlorien when we go there!"
"If we do see him brother, we cannot let anyone know we now him or else we will all get into more trouble than we can handle."
*****
Legolas happily rode at the head of the hunting party with Entoul. He was happy to finally get out of the palace. This was clear to everyone as he went along humming merrily.
"Can we please stop now my lord?" asked Entoul who was very tried as well were the other members of the group.
"All right Entoul," said Legolas looking behind him.
Once they had set up camp Entoul immediately made Legolas go to sleep. What Entoul did not know was that Glorfindel and part of his company had surrounded them.
*****
Legolas woke up to the sounds of fighting and immediately reached for his sword.
"Run Legolas, run!" he heard Entoul cry and he knew this was a time when he should listen to the older elf.
He began running up the hill that was right by the camp, yet he turned around to see a blonde, powerful looking Noldor elf stab Entoul through the chest. The blonde looked up to see Legolas, shouted to another elf, and the two began to run after him.
Legolas turned toward the forest and ran faster than he had ever run before in his life. His mind though was fixed on Entoul. He didn't know why anyone would want to kill his guardian, his friend. Legolas was not paying attention to where he was running and found he had returned to the campsite. All that was there now was the smoking remains of the tents and the bodies of his company and a few bodies of Noldor elves as well. Legolas ran down the side of the hill and finding Entoul's body knelt beside him. He reached out and closed the dead elf's eyes.
Glorfindel had seen the young prince and knew he would be back, so he had ordered another elf to stay with him at the camp and wait. Glorfindel smiled to himself as he saw the elfling kneel beside his fallen friend. 'This was going to be easy' he thought to himself.
He gave a signal to the other elf to follow him and together they began to creep up on the unsuspecting child.
Legolas suddenly turned around and seeing the two elves jumped up and began running.
Glorfindel had expected this and unfortunately for Legolas, Glorfindel had the advantage. He was not wasted from running and grief; therefore he soon caught up to Legolas and picked up the struggling elfling. Glorfindel and the other elf began walking back to their camp. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
For anyone who is mad about my spelling I will say sorry now, but to tell the truth I can't spell even if it would win me a $1,000 for Walden's (my favorite book store)
