Chapter 15: Innocent Haldir

Haldir sat beside Legolas as he did the night before. Haldir was glad to have Legolas as his friend, even if Legolas was his only friend.

"I have two brothers, Tonus and Cield. I have a sister too," Legolas smiled proudly. "Tonus graduated a while ago, Cield was expelled and Illiendal still goes to this school, since it's the only school in middle earth."

"I have one brother. His name is Orophin. But my nana and ada told me that soon I'll have another little baby brother or sister because my mommy is fat. But we don't know if it will be a boy or a girl. Ada wants to name the baby Rumil."

"That's neat. I don't have a nana; she died, so ada says he can't get me a little brother or sister. Ada says he cant buy me one either."

"Everyone get out of the bus, we're at school." Thorin yelled. Everyone ran into the schoolyard happily.

Legolas and Haldir decided to play in the mud, a hobby of both of them. Legolas was able to use his little silver circlet to scoop mud up, and Haldir could use his little silver brooch. They put the mud and worms in their socks, and in Glorfindel's slippers, since today Glorfindel wore his pajamas and slippers.

Then, the cruel and horrible Sauron approached the muddy elflings and grabbed Haldir by the collar of his grey tunic.

"Stop!" Haldir screamed.

"Stop! He can't breath!" Legolas kicked Sauron's leg as hard as he could. Sauron kicked Legolas in return, and the elflings was sent flying across the pavement and landed in a trashcan filled with rotting applesauce and blue cheese that Lunch lady Treebeard had tried to feed the children.

Haldir was dropped onto the pavement and was then chased by Sauron. Glorfindel stopped Sauron suddenly, just when Sauron caught Haldir.

"Sauron, what are you doing?"

"I'm just playing with Haldir, sir." Sauron kept his arm tightly over Haldir's mouth, preventing the young elf from yelling.

"Oh. Alright then." Glorfindel walked away.

Sauron brought Haldir up to the wall of the school and pinned the young elfling up against the wall. Sauron punched the elfling repeatedly.

Haldir sobbed too hard to yell stop or to speak at all. One of his baby teeth fell out while being beaten.

Haldir's small form fell from the wall and onto the pavement, and Sauron began to kick him. Sauron only did this for fun, and beating up Haldir made him very happy.

Legolas was not still lying on the cement though. The back of Legolas' legs where all scraped, but he ran as fast as he could to get help. Glorifndel was currently having a midlife crisis (after all, when you've been around since the first age and have even died once you start to panic), so he was of no use. But Legolas knew of someone else very scary who could save Haldir.

"Billy Bob! Help!" Legolas ran into the janitor's lounge (a secret lounge where all the school janitors gathered to drink tea.

Inside the janitors' lounge was the two school janitors: Gollum and a little hobbit. That little hobbit's name was Billy Bob B. Baggins.

"Billy Bob! I need you to save my best friend! Sauron's hurting him!"

"Coming!" Billy Bob jumped up and grabbed his shiny light saber and ran out of the lounge and out to the schoolyard where Erestor was already trying to save Haldir.

"Billy Bob, put your glow in the dark stick away and go clean the cafeteria." Erestor ordered.

"Janitors never get to have any fun." Billy Bob sadly left.

Haldir was in Gandalf's arms, crying without stop. Sauron was being held back poorly by Erestor. Sauron grabbed Legolas and began to throttle him.

"You went to get help? I'll murder your little royal as-

"Erestor grabbed Legolas, handed him to Gandalf and finally got Sauron under control. Gandalf meanwhile took Legolas and Haldir to the office, where both their parents where called.

"Don't worry little ones, your fathers will be here shortly." Elendil said, looking sadly at the two young elves. Haldir's wounds where being cleaned as he drank a box of apple juice. Legolas drank apple juice as well.

"You both can help yourselves to some cookies." Glorfindel gestured to the bowl of cookies on his desk. Haldir took one.

Arhael and Thranduil burst into the principal's office and ran to their elflings. Haldir grabbed his father and sobbed and Legolas kissed Thranduil repeatedly

"Lord Thranduil, Lord Arhael, I think you two should take your sons home and give them this day off, for they may be traumatized for a little while." Elendil said, Glorfindel nodding in approval.

"Certainly." Thranduil said, taking Legolas by his hand.

"I cannot!" Arhael sighed sadly.

"Why not ada?" Haldir asked.

"Because, your mother is pregnant and I must continue my duty as march warden!" Arhael looked sadly at his sobbing son. Haldir's eyes where black and he could barely see, and Haldir's face was bruised, his lip was split and Haldir's torso was all brown from being kicked.

"I could bring Haldir to the palace, if you do not mind me bringing him home until you finish being March Warden for the day. I do not mind: I have plenty of servants to take good care of him and Legolas can keep him company." Thranduil smiled.

"Thank you Thranduil, that would help a lot." Arhael smiled and bent down to be facing his son.

"You will be going home with Legolas, okay? Then when I finish at my work, I will come to get you." Arhael smiled. Haldir smiled for the first time since Sauron had beaten him.

"That would be fun ada... Thanks mister Legolas' ada." Haldir stood up and stood beside Legolas.

"You four are dismissed." Elendil and Glorfindel said.

To be continued...

Billy Bob B. Baggins is my little hobbit friend. Billy Bob has always wanted to go on a big adventure, so one day he was walking close to the old forest and met a little green creture called Yoda and... Billy Bob went back to his hobbit hole (which was right next to Bag End and happened to be called Bag Start) as a Jedi master...

Here comes the hockey puck: I should start the Anti-Denethor club.

Haldir's Heart and Soul: Orophin is too young to go to school and Rumil is not born yet, but Orophin will make an appearance and Rumil will eventually be born.

MamboDancer: Sure. Take Merry. Say bye to Merry, Billy Bob.

That Undomiel chick: Must is a very good word. Must is also part of mustard.

Moonyasha: I recommend some Advil. Also two Tylenol and a few Tums incase of heartburn.

InterstellarHobbit: Many will be mourning. Why don't you go mourn beside Thranduil?

Southerngirl4615: Hi hubby! Billy Bob says hi to hubby. So does Jedi Monkey.

Laer4572: I always have fun writing this. It's also fun to write responses to reviews that don't have anything to respond to, because then I can just say something stupid in they're review based on something they said in there review... For example, Southerngirl (above) said she woke her hubby who was not amused. So, as you can see, many imaginary characters said hi to hubby. But that's what happens when you don't post questions in your reviews... Imaginary hobbits start talking to you!

Kathysidle: I want a special doctor!

Lombadia Greenleaf: Explain where I would find cartilage on Legolas... I really don't know what part of his body it is. Yes, two on one of his ear will do at the bottom, but I wanted to stick one near the tip of his pointed ear. His eyebrow would be good, because that way when he pierces his eyebrow Thranduil will be able to notice better than if he only pierced his ear. His bellybutton would be girly, but who knows... Now I'm just thinking as to where he will get his tattoos. He shall have a little one and I am considering a big on his back. Billy Bob is going to be the tattoo artist and also the guy who pierces Legolas. It's easy for me to see the twins as Goths because I had a gothic Elladan and Elrohir sim skin for the old sims game that I downloaded from some site... Frodo Duck screams for fat Sam Duck.

Bberry06: I know you like the story. Now go get your pills. I think you may have flushed them down the toilet like Kathysidle... Go fish them out!

Ms. Unknown: Yay! One review guaranteed!
