Chapter 44: Missing Legolas

I deleted a chapter by accident so things are messed up. Ignore the messed up chapter names and remember to e-mail me for the original 132 chapters, or go to my site (you can find the link at my user page here).

The meeting had ending not long ago. Thranduil lay on his bed and looked at the ceiling.

'I miss my son, my baby son. I don't know why but I miss Legolas so much. He is my baby and I wish to be there with him so badly... but I have never felt this way before... the last I was away from Legolas this long was when his mother was alive... I did not feel this feeling then...' Thranduil thought to himself. He wanted something to remind him of Legolas, just hoping he could find something filled with his son's memories.

Thranduil searched frantically but found nothing, until he came across something he had not packed.

Thranduil discovered a teddy bear belonging to Legolas, with a note attached with a pin to the bear's ear. Thranduil knew this bear anywhere, the bear often came with Legolas into his bedroom when a certain young elfling was nervous of the thunder outside.

Thranduil pulled the note off the bear and looked closely, eyeing the odd and confusing handwriting. He knew this was his son's writing, and he read the letter out loud to himself.

Dear Ada.

I'm going to miss you Ada, I really love you. You are the best ada in the world... I left you Mister Snuggles because I know you always smile when you see me and Mister Snuggles come into you bedroom at night so HUG Mister Snuggles once a day or he will be sad Ada. Ada I wan't you to come home as soon as you are done in LothLorien. Thanks for leaving Haldiw with me because Haldiw is really nice and I know he will play with me. I love you more than anything Ada.

Love: Legolas.

"Very good Thranduil, I am certain you're about ready for your first day at school, though I believe that you still have not learnt enough to qualify for lessons from me."

Thranduil turned around and blushed as Glorfindel entered the room and sat beside him.

"Now I know you did not write that. Who did?"

"My child, Legolas."

"He is just the sweetest. I remember him. He followed me around all day, singing songs and randomly giving elves he knew hugs and occasionally kisses if the elf wanted, and if he knew the elf well enough."

"That is Legolas, and Legolas is Legolas. He left this letter in my bag before I left; I am amazed I never found it. He left me his bear Mister Snuggles too. I can't believe he did, that bear was his best friend. Now I am certain he love me and that I am a good father, or, so I hope. He misses me, unless Haldir is the greatest man alive."

Thranduil held the letter to his chest and whispered something under his breath so quietly Glorfindel could not hear.

"I miss you too little Greenleaf."

To be Continued...

Damn it. I deleted a chapter.
