I am really really really sorry that I haven't updated for so long. I totally forgot about this story. I really hope that everyone will continue to read this. Once again, I'm sorry for the later update.

I don't own Lord of the Rings.

Dew Drops on a Sword Chapter 14 The Three Nightmares Of Doom

Legolas sat leaning against a tree. He watch as the water of the rive rushed passed him, the cool spray gently hitting his face every so often. He sighed, wondering once more what it was that he was forgetting. As always, he could think of nothing. Gil-galad had never made him a promise that he knew of. And, as to why he gave Legolas his ring was still an even greater mystery to him.

"Hey, Legolas." He looked up when he heard his name called, only to see Elladan and Elrohir coming toward him. Elrohir carried a small basket under his arm, though he wore a bright smile on his face.

"What do you two want?" he said in an emotionless voice, turning his gaze back to the river.

"We just brought you some lunch," Elrohir said in an innocent voice, his smile fading as he looked at Legolas with puppy dog eyes.

"How do I know you haven't poisoned it?" he asked, still not turning his gaze from the river. He did looked up surprised when he had a small, red apple shoved into his hands.

"We're not trying to poison you, alright? We're just trying to get along with you like Grandmother asked up to, but damnit, you're making it really hard! If I can forget the differences between our two realms for once, then you can as well!" Elladan said turning away from him to take the basket of food from his brother.

Legolas just looked at them in shock. "Why?" he asked softly, his voice almost childishly innocent.

Elladan and Elrohir both looked up at him. "What do you mean?" Elladan asked bluntly.

"Why would you try to befriend me? Haldir is the only friend I have and that was on accident. So, I'm asking you, why would two strangers, sons of my father's worst enemy, try to befriend me."

Elrohir smiled gently at him and sat down next to him. "Because, we want to," was all he said before handing the rest of Legolas' share of the food to him.

Legolas smiled, a true smile, and accepted the food.

Gandalf slowed his horse down somewhat as he entered Lothlorien. He breathed in deeply, thankful for the wonderful peace that the Golden Woods offered. He knew Legolas was here, as well as Elladan and Elrohir. He hoped that the three would become friends once more, though he knew if that happened that they would be causing chaos wherever they went. It was better than having Legolas die though.

He rode on until he reached the center of Lothlorien.

"Ah, Gandalf, the Lady has been waiting for you." Gandalf turned around and smiled when he saw Haldir.

"Haldir, still alive I see. Legolas and the twins haven't gotten to you yet," Gandalf greeted.

The smug look on Haldir's face faltered and he grumbled lightly. "The Lady is waiting for you Gandalf. If you would please follow me." Haldir turned around and began climbing the down the stairs toward Galadriel's Mirror. Gandalf looked confused for a moment before quickly following Haldir, wondering why the Lady wanted to meet with him at the Mirror.

Three months later found all three young princes still in Lothlorien. To everyone's shock the three had indeed become fast friends. It was wonderful to see Legolas smiling again, but some people wished that they would stop causing such destruction and terror.

"Just like old times," Gandalf commented as he came to stand beside Galadriel as she looked out over her kingdom.

Galadriel smiled slightly. "The only difference seems to be that they have found some new pranks that were worse than their old ones." Gandalf grumbled lightly when he heard this. "They got you as well."

"Yes, unfortunately. They've gotten poor Haldir so many times that I think he's going to go insane," the wizard said looking out over the tree tops and out to the setting sun.

The small smile that had been on Galadriel's face vanished suddenly. Gandalf looked up at her but didn't ask her what was wrong. If the Lady of the Golden Woods wanted to tell him what would happen, then she would, if not, then she wouldn't.

"Come on," Legolas whispered as he led Elladan and Elrohir through the woods. They were trying to get out of Lothlorien for a little while without being noticed. It usually wouldn't be that hard for them, but since Haldir was on duty, it would be much harder than it originally would have been.

"Where exactly are we going to go anyways?" Elrohir asked as he quietly steeped over a fallen log.

"Anywhere. We're just trying to get out and explore for a night," Elladan answered in an annoyed voice.

"Well sorry, maybe I just wanted to know," Elrohir snapped back at him.

"Shut up, both of you!" Legolas snapped at the m softly, but dangerously. They were almost to the board now and if they were caught, Haldir would definitely have them sent back and tell Celeborn what they had tried to do, and Legolas didn't exactly want to get a lecture from the Lord of Lothlorien.

Elladan and Elrohir just stared at Legolas for a moment before shrugging and turning to follow the Prince of Mirkwood once more.

Legolas, Elladan, and Elrohir all sighed in relief as they finally got out of sight from the Golden Woods. They had actually made it and now they had the rest of the night to explore.

"So, what do we do now?" Elladan asked.

"We go this way," Legolas said pointing in some random direction. Elladan and Elrohir looked at each other and shrugged. They decided to follow Legolas like they had been doing for the whole night anyways.

After about an hour of walking the three walked into a patch of moonlight. It was then that Legolas stopped dead, a look of concentration in his eyes.

"Legolas, what is..." Elrohir stopped mid sentence when he heard the voice of orcs. On some silent agreement the three pulled out their weapons and form a circle with their backs facing inward.

The battle was long, but the elves cut down any orc that got in their way. It wasn't until they heard the wails of the Ringwraiths.

"What the hell are they doing here?" Elladan shouted above the sound of battle.

"I have no idea, but we have to get out of here before they arrive!" Legolas shouted slaying an orc while dong so.

The three elves found it very easy to escape from the orcs though while doing so Elladan didn't see the orc that had snuck up behind him. Legolas and Elrohir looked up in fear, both calling out the other's name but knowing that he wouldn't be able to move quick enough to get away. Elrohir tried to get to his brother but he was too far away. Legolas, forever, ran toward his friend and plunged a dagger through its heart. In doing so though, he received a server blow to his stomach. The orcs sword had struck him, but it had not gone all the way through.

"LEGOALS!" Elladan shouted as he tried to get to his fallen friend. Before he could reach him a powerful black spell hit him in the chest sending him flying back into the trees.

Elrohir managed to get to his brother. Elladan had blacked out and there was a large gash on his head. When he looked up, he saw all nine Ringwraiths standing in front of them. The thing that scared him the most was that the Witch King held a bleeding Legolas in his arms.

"Should we kill them?" one hissed in a low whispered to the Witch King.

"They're not worth our time. We have what we came for." And with that, the Ringwraiths mounted their horses and rode off, taking the Prince of Mirkwood with them.

Well, I hoped you all liked this chapter. I hope that I'll be able to post the next chapter quickly, but it may be a while. Review if you want the next chapter.
