I do not know where to start apologising. I am very sorry it's been so long. Hope you are still reading the story! I honestly have more time now that I am on holidays so you should get regular updates. (But the computer is going in for a service so I won't be able to post anything until at least next Saturday. Sorry.)
Thanks to my reviewers:Yavie Aelinel, Valanya, LalaithoftheBruinen and to Lynn-G (yes please stick with the story! Get attached!!)
Chapter7:
"Wait a second." Lord Elrond said as Aragorn and Legolas stood to leave the dining room. "I did not realise what you said earlier Estel. You said that since Elrohir and Elladan had left you supposed Legolas would be going also. Your brothers are not supposed to be gone Estel. Where are they? They have gone to the training grounds haven't they? And do not lie to me."
Estel glanced at Legolas hoping for an excuse or at least some support. Legolas just shrugged not knowing what to do. Estel knew his father could not be lied to so he made a decision. "Yes Adar, they have gone"
"I knew they would do something like this." Lord Elrond said although there was no trace of anger in his voice. Just disappointment. Aragorn and Legolas looked at each other with worried expressions.
"Naefilin." Elrond called and a tall elf with black hair came into the dining hall. "Naefilin, good you please sent a messenger to the training grounds to find out have Elladan and Elrohir arrived safely? Also tell the messenger to come to my study in fifteen minutes, I will give them a letter to give to my sons."
"Yes mi'Lord" Answered Naefilin and he turned and walked from the room.
"How long have they been gone?" Elrond questioned.
"They left about a half hour before we came to breakfast Ada." Aragorn answered.
"They would be to far gone to catch." Elrond sighed coming to a decision. "You two may go now. I shall write in the letter that they can stay although I will never let them leave the house again and they will have permanent guards following them."
Aragorn and Legolas smiled at this and left the dining hall. Outside they let out a breath thankful Lord Elrond had seen the funny side to his son's disobedience. Joking loudly the two friends went out to the gardens where they spent the following few hours talking.
Thinking it was time for dinner Aragorn and Legolas start making their way back to the house. All of a sudden there came a shout from the courtyard and they set off at a run. They arrived at the courtyard just as Lord Elrond hurried out of the house. They where greeted by the messenger who had not one but three horses with him, a quick glance at the horses and they were identified as Elladan and Elrohirs.
"My Lord. I had journeyed half way when out of the trees come these horses. I knew immediately who's they were and came back to alert you." The messenger explained breathlessly. Lord Elrond stood still upon hearing this.
"Was there any sign that they were close by? Any tracks?"
"No my Lord."
"Naefilin send out a search party." Elrond said to the elf that had just joined them. He nodded and ran quickly away.
"Ada Legolas and I shall go with them." Aragorn said quickly.
"No Estel." Lord Elrond said shaking his head and smiling lightly. "I know enough about both you and Legolas that if I allowed you two to go I would more than likely be sending a search party for you long after we have found Elladan and Elrohir. No you shall stay and wait for word with me. Come." With that Elrond turned to go inside leaving two very annoyed people to follow him.
That night Naefilin came back saying there was no trail to follow. They travelled as far as the camp there was no sign anywhere. Aragorn and Legolas went to bed on instruction from Elrond. When an hour had passed Aragorn readied his weapons and crossed the hall to Legolas' room.
"Come in." Legolas said opening the door after hearing Aragorn knocking. "Are you right then? Shall we go?"
It was only then Aragorn realised Legolas was fully dressed with his bow slung across his bag and his twin swords also on his back prepared for any combat. Aragorn could not help but smile.
"How..?" He asked speechless.
"I knew you would have something up your sleeve and that you would come here asking if I would go with you. You are just like your brothers." Answered Legolas smiling back. "So which way shall we go? I suggest the window. I have climbed down the tree outside the window many times."
"The tree it is." Said Aragorn still smiling. Two minutes later and they were going towards the stables, hoping no one would see them.
A/n: So what do you think? Sorry for the delay I really am but I was studying for exams and the final weeks of school where pretty hectic. I am on summer holidays now so hopefully you will get regular updates. Please review! Thanks.
