A/N: Emily: Well, here goes the second chapter, as you've probably noticed that without Emily and George the story is bit different but I hope you're still liking it. However, if Legolas is as good as we all know he is he will have found George in no time!

Disclaimer: I own everybody except the one elf I want to own!

Chapter Two – The Haunting.

"I am setting some ground rules for while your father is away." Began Kai. He had the triplets lined up with military style precision. "Okay, there is to be no pranks unless they are run by me first, any green item of food is not to be eaten, there is to be no swearing unless it is in response to an idiotic comment, the boys are to be taken whoring at Merry and Pippin's Hash bar, Ellette is to keep her virtue in tack unless she wants me to be gutted by her father, Fiminur and Phian are to be left alone unless in concordance with rule one, and finally if any of you decide to wake me up before the sun has been up for at least six hours I would advise you not to. Any questions?"

"I thought dad asked you to look after this place?" Asked Ellette.

"I am looking after it kido. Contrary to belief, a little bit of mayhem never did Mirkwood any harm. Agreed?"

The triplets grinned and nodded enthusiastically.

"Excellent."

……

"I am doing the right thing, aren't I?" Legolas asked as he looked around and watched Mirkwood disappear over the horizon.

"Kai may be a complete liability but I have faith that he will manage to curb his wild side for a short time." Kalin encouraged as he struggled to keep himself on his horse.

"And what if this journey takes a long time?"

"I hear Ithilien, with a little work, is nice place to live!"

"Kalin!"

"Sorry, sorry, no I am sure Kai will be fine, he is not completely stupid."

"I hope so." Sighed Legolas resigned to the fact that he would just have to trust Kai.

"Worst case scenario is that when we return Mirkwood will be razed to the ground and all of your kids will have gone missing."

Legolas paled considerably. "You are not helping."

Kalin grinned and spurred on his horse in the direction of Gondor.

……

"It's not fair! How come you two get to go whoring and I'm not even allowed to look at another elf!" Fumed Ellette.

"It is because we obviously the better looking two thirds of this triad." Grinned Pierre as he flamboyantly tossed his long blond hair over his shoulder.

"Correction brother, it is obvious that I am the most exquisite of us all!" Announced Xavier smugly.

"You! With a name like Xavier, you'd be lucky to score a dwarf!"

"Uncle gave me this name! At least I'm not named after a slimy French waiter!" Retaliated Xavier.

"Mum gave me this name! You're just jealous because you didn't get blond hair!" Snapped Pierre.

"Jealous, of you! I'm not the one with the bent ear!" The darkling brother growled.

"That's not my fault! Kai dropped me!" Yelled Pierre as he lunged at his brother.

"You two will never grow up!" Ellette stormed off in a huff leaving Pierre struggling to get out of a headlock.

Passing by were Frodo and Sam whom on upon noticing the brothers' current state decided it was probably not the best time to demand an apology for their behaviour yesterday. Turning swiftly Frodo and Sam had almost made their escape when they heard the cry that struck fear in every Hobbit's heart;

"Bundle!"

……

Ellette made her way through the gardens, walking blindly as she tried to work of the agitation that often appeared around her halfwit brothers. So caught up in her own thoughts was she that as she passed the public baths she did not notice the elf before her until they were both on the floor in a heap.

"Ouch!" Yelped Kai as a particularly sharp stone embedded itself in his back.

"I'm sorry I wasn't…" Ellette trailed off as she noticed that Kai was in nothing but a towel tied haphazardly around his waist after his trip to the baths.

"Are you alright?" Asked Kai as he pulled the gaping she-elf up off the floor.

"I…I…wow…" Mumbled Ellette as she watched a drop of water make its way down the elf's chest.

"What was that?"

"I…I…have to go." A flustered Ellette ran as fast as she could and did not stop until she had made it to her room. "This crush is getting out of control." She muttered as she slid down the wall and gathered her knees to her chest.

Ellette looked hard in the mirror, she had always been told that she resembled her mother; she had also heard that Kai once had a thing for her mother. If that was the case why did he not notice her?

'Kai notices anything that is female with a pulse so why when it comes to me he just treats me like…well…one of her brothers!' She thought irritably. 'He still thinks I'm a child.'

Ellette picked herself up and walked nearer to the mirror as she remembered the countless times that Kai had called her kido. 'Well then I shall just have to convince him that I am not a child!' Ellette concluded triumphantly. 'I mean it cannot be that hard to seduce someone, can it?'

A loud knock on her door brought Ellette out of her thoughts.

"Who is it?"

"It is Phian, I was…um just…could you open the door I am not accustomed to talking to wood."

Ellette rolled her eyes, 'Why did that elleth insist on bugging her!' She swung the door open abruptly and glared at the dark haired beauty that made Ellette was to throw up on her shoes. "What can I do for you?"

"Lord Kai sent me, he asked me to see if you were alright. At first I was a bit dubious as to if this was just another one of his jokes but he did seem quite concerned."

'Kai was concerned about me!' Ellette resisted the urge to grin.

"So are you?" Asked Phian wondering about the dazed look on Ellette's face.

"Am I what?" Ellette answered confused pushing the image of a half naked Kai out of her mind.

"Are you all right?"

"Oh…oh yes I am perfectly fine."

"Well that is good, I shall let Kai know." Phian let out a small giggle as she began to leave. "Anything to spend some more time with that delicious elf."

Ellette stared at the retreating elleth's back in horror. 'Phian couldn't have a thing for Kai! No! If it wasn't bad enough that cow drooling over Ada, now she wants Kai, my Kai! Something has to be done.'

……

"Brothers, I need your help." Ellette pulled the two elves off of Sam and Frodo who were now embedded into the ground.

"What with? I thought we were too immature for you." Pouted Pierre.

"Do want to help me come up with the best prank we have ever done or not!"

The brothers' eyes light up in glee and mischief. "We're listening."

"Something must be done to Phian, something that will take her down a peg or two. It has gone on too long that we've just let her and her father stress dad out all the time and now she has gone too far!"

"What has she done?" Asked Xavier already shaking with excitement at the prospect of total mayhem.

Ellette knew that if her brothers' found out about her crush on Kai she would never hear the end of it. "She…she…she ate your entire supply of smarties that uncle left in Gondor!" 'That would work, considering that there is no evidence.' Thought Ellette remembering the time she caught Kai eating all of them.

"The harlot!" Cried Pierre in disgust, "she must pay!"

"We'll get Kai to come up with something really spectacular!" Xavier announced.

"No!" Shrieked Ellette. "No, Kai cannot know anything about this!"

"But Kai said that all pranks, especially to do with Phian and Fiminur, were to be run past him."

"Kai would never let us go ahead with this, he promised Ada that he would look after Mirkwood. If we bound in there and start planning our divine retribution in front of him he'll put an end to it and tell us to behave."

"Are we talking about the same Kai?"

"Look you will have to trust me on this brothers. Kai is not to know about any of this. Do you swear?"

Xavier and Pierre looked at each other. If this was going to be as big as Ellette was saying surely Kai would want to be a part of it? Then again if this was going to be as big as she was saying then they were stupid if they'd risk not being involved.

"We swear." The brothers grinned in unison.

……

"Legolas!" Greeted Aragorn enthusiastically. "It is wonderful to see you. How are you faring?"

"As well as I can be." Answered Legolas.

"What brings you to Gondor?" Aragorn asked before quickly adding, "You didn't bring those children of yours!"

Legolas glared at Aragorn, "What do you mean by that?"

"Well, they tend to break things and…" Aragorn was interrupted by a huge crash coming from the door; he fully expected the triplets to come storming in but instead was greeted by the sight of Kalin bumping into a serving girl and tripping over his own feet sending him and her sprawling on the floor.

"Sorry!" Yelped Kalin as he scrambled to his feet.

"What's up with him?" Aragorn asked Legolas.

"I'm not sure, he is not usually this clumsy, he was having trouble on his horse earlier. Anyway, I need your help Aragorn, I need to find George."

"George! Why, what is wrong?"

"Nothing specific, I just feel that Emily would have wanted him around the children." Aragorn shuddered slightly. "Are you alright?"

"Oh yes! Fine, fine…I um…George yes I will talk to you about that over dinner if you will join me."

"Of course." Legolas began to wonder about Aragorn's strange mood swing.

"Brilliant, well I shall have someone show you to your room." Aragorn quickly shuffled out of the room.

'Am I missing something?' Thought Legolas. 'First Kalin and now Aragorn, what is going on!'

……

Aragorn shut the door behind him and took a deep breath. Emily, that name struck fear in the man's heart. Ever since he heard about the tragic death of Legolas' wife he had had the feeling that Emily was haunting him. At first he thought he was just being stupid, it was not until things began moving themselves and whispers woke him in the night that he was convinced that the spirit of Emily had decided that it was not just in life that she could make the man's life a living misery. 'Whatever I do I cannot let Legolas know about this, he shouldn't have to deal with this. I just need to help him find George then he will leave, and maybe she might as well.' Aragorn thought.

At that moment a strange wind knocked over a lighted candle in the room and came dangerously close to setting alight Aragorn's robes. Aragorn quickly set it right and went to shut the window. It was then that he realised there was not a window in that room.
