This
ones up than I thought it would be. Unfortunately it is a bit short. I need a
beta, so if you think you can fill the job say so in your review.
Legolas woke with a start. Something had alerted his senses. He looked for Aragorn, but he wasn't there.
'He
has probably gone to the stream' Legolas thought. Legolas grabbed his weapons
and went to check out what it was that had awakened him. Walking through the
woods he was aware of something watching him. He looked around and saw nothing.
Trees moved in the wind. Nothing seemed out of place. Legolas did not sense
anything evil about. He couldn't place what had awaked him, which fascinated
him, and also put him on alert. Looking around he could see animals coming out,
as if a great threat had just passed.
Walking farther, he saw the carnage of an animal, it looked like that of a
dear, but it had been torn into and mauled. As he looked, a fox ran by. Legolas
looked at the tracks near by. It was plain to see that it had been wolves that
took the dear down. The carcass was only a few hours old, and Legolas had
decided that it had been the wolves that had alerted him. But that still didn't
explain the strange feeling he had.
The prince decided to look around a little more. He followed a deer path to
another place near the stream that he and Aragorn had slept by. Deciding that
he had explored enough, and afraid that Estel might worry about his
disappearance, Legolas headed back to camp but was stopped by something,
someone was watching him.
"Here, drink" The older twin gave his brother the flask
"I'm not thirsty"
"You need to replenish your bodily fluids"
Elrohir knew that was true, but he wasn't thirsty.
" Drink" Elladan stated flatly
The twins looked at each other with identical looks of annoyance.
"Ro" Elladan used his brothers nickname "If you don't drink I'll tell both Estel and Legolas about that incident with the pig last month."
"If you do, I'll tell about the incident with the trolls"
Elladan smirked "they already know about that"
"How did they find that out?"
"Well, you know that brew that Aragorn got from that group of traders."
"Ohhh" Elrohir laughed but his grin quickly turned into a grimace from the pain in his side
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah,
as well as I can be. How much did he make you pay to get the drink?"
"Pay? He said it was a gift."
"Riiiight"
"El" Elladan looked at his brother "You are trying to change the
subject."
"Me, I would never do that"
The conversation went for a while longer before Elrohir finally gave in,
muttering how much his older twin reminded him of a mother hen.
Elladan watched as his brother fell asleep, he
had put some herbs in his water to relieve the pain, but it also made elves go
to sleep. Elladan remembered when he had given it to Estel for a gash in his
side. He had thought that he would fall asleep like the elves did but it hadn't
even made him groggy.
'Lucky Eden'
The young lord of imladris thought of the good times they had together and
smiled, his life had changed so much since that day when they got the young,
scared boy so many years ago. He had watched as Estel grew into a young man and
a leader. Slowly Elladan's eyes drooped and he nodded off.
Thanks
to my brother for helping with this story. Ya'll who don't have my brother are
really missing out.
Feanen: thanks!
Star-Stallion: Yes. alive. maybe.
Shauna: I am writing this the day after I posted chapter two. What did
Aragorn see, hmm, you tell me.
Legilmalith: I drive my English teacher crazy going in and out of
tenses. I need a beta. My brother is great at conversations, so I'll ask him to
help me with the conversations. Maybe I should get out a KJ bible that has old
English. Your not the only one who is insane, I'm a proud member of the nut
house! Anyways, it is much more comfortable to be mad and know it, than to be
sane and have one's doubts. I read your bio, is it ok if I use that last part
in my bio? Thanks for the review!
Berethilm: Thank you!!!
Namarie,
Astievia
