This is going to be rather short, Sorry 'bout that! But I wanted to post this before I leave for Paris… Three days, so I decided to post it now. Hope you like it and please review! Anyway, I promise you a nice cliffie down this chapter (Well, nice?)

Too much darkness in a day…
Chapter Seven: Relax
"So, when are you allowed to return home?" Eleiden smiled.
"I personally think now would be a good time…"
"Ada won't agree"
"Estel!" Legolas exclaimed and for the first time in days Legolas actually brought a real smile on his lips. The boy's honesty had surprised him in a way "You're right, he won't agree… say, you haven't met my brother yet, have you?"
Estel shook his head.
"So this is Eleiden, my younger brother"
Estel giggled "Another El!"
"You can be triplets with Elladan and Elrohir then" Legolas commented.
Eleiden glared at his brother before getting serious again "I'm going to ask Elrond when you are fit to return with me, so I can notify our father"
"I am fit to return" Legolas argued.
"Of course you are." Eleiden said rolling his eyes. As soon as he left, Estel took his place on the bed. "Do you really have to leave so soon?"
"Don't worry Estel, you were right, your father won't let me leave yet."
Estel chuckled "I once broke my arm and ada wouldn't let me out either."
"I see we have a lot in common then"
"My brothers told me you are the best archer in Arda, and I was wondering if you'd show me before you leave"
"Best archer in Arda? They told you that? I wouldn't exactly say that but I'd love to show you" Legolas answered modestly.
"Great"
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
"I think I have the right to be nervous Menenwen!" Thranduil yelled in frustration.
"Of course, but you shouldn't, Thrandy, stay calm I'm sure they're both all right."
"One of my sons is injured and who knows what the other has run into?"
"But the messenger said not too gravely!"
Thranduil sighed "That probably means close to death."
'Such a pessimist' she whispered.
"What did you say Menenwen?" Thranduil asked confused.
"Nothing, I was just wondering when they'll return..."
Thranduil suspiciously lifted his eyebrows "Worried after all?"
"Of course, but unlike you I'm trying to keep calm and that's exactly what you are supposed to do" she urged. "Why don't you start with sitting down"
Thranduil obeyed reluctantly and seated himself. "You're probably right"
"You know I am" she smiled "I'll get you a drink, relax"
"Easy for you to say" Thranduil said to himself as soon she had left the study…
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
'Ignorant fool, if he actually thinks he's safe for a while…But he'll know and he won't be able to deny it'
"Are you ready?"
"Yes, as always"
"Do as I told you and don't bring me bad news, you understand? Or it will be your head instead of his"
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Elrond decided another week would do no harm and Legolas would get the proper time to recover. Legolas himself didn't really like the idea but didn't protest either. And neither did Eleiden, he sent a message home and took some time to relax a little. But the next night promised no good. Light footsteps could've told it was an elf entering Legolas' chamber… But that wasn't so important, what mattered the most was the object he was holding, a long shiny knife. He carefully and soundlessly lifted the knife before bringing it down very quickly aiming for Legolas' chest…
