A/N: Emily: Wootka!
George: That's it she has finally lost it.

Chapter Fifteen – Burn Baby Burn.
As the smoke poured out of the forest so did the remaining occupants. Legolas arriving out of the forest looked around frantically for his children. Spotting them nearby he sighed in relief, "Are you cough okay?" Legolas choked out.
"Where's Kai!" Cried Ellette.
Legolas turned back to the forest and counted the number of elves that had made it out of the burning forest. Both Kai and George were missing.
"Uncle George!" Yelled the brothers as George appeared wielding his lightsabre.
"I shall not turn to the dark side!" Cried George.
"Um…George it's just smoke." Informed Legolas.
"Ada! Kai, where is he!" Ellette shrieked hysterically.
"My Lord!" Kalin's horse pulled up beside Legolas. "How the Mandos did this happen! Is everyone alright?"
"Kai he…" Legolas took one look at his daughter's grief stricken face and sucked in a breath before ploughing back into the burning forest.
"Charge!" George swung the lightsabre around and followed his brother in-law into smoke.
"Oh great now I look like a wimp." Muttered Kalin before reluctantly jumping off his horse and pursuing.
……
"Oh Boromir look how cute his little nose is!" Gushed Haldir as he looked down upon their newly adopted son.
"And his little pointed ears? They are like mini versions of yours!" Babbled Boromir inanely.
"He has itty bitty toes!"
"Aww he just hiccupped!"
"I think that was a burp actually, but it was still so cute!"
……
"They've been in there too long." Sobbed Ellette.
Pierre and Xavier glanced at each other, "Do you want us to go have a look?"
"No! I'm not losing everyone I love!"
Rasping could be heard and within seconds George burst out of the forest holding a darkling elf in his arms. "I found cough Kai."
Ellette rushed over and went to cradle Kai's head, "Oh Kai…are you…wait! This isn't Kai you idiot that's Kalin!"
"Yes I am Kalin and if you would let me down!" Kalin wriggled indignantly.
"Oh hi Kalin." Grinned George.
"Did you see Ada in there!" Asked Pierre.
"See! You couldn't see a vat of luminous bath foam on a naked she-elf's breast even if it was placed on the end of your tongue!" Kalin's rant was answered by Amaria smacking him over the head.
"Don't worry I'll find him!" George turned to go back into the forest which was now smothered in flames.
"No! You can't go back in there!" Yelled Xavier pulling him back.
"Of course I c…" George was cut off as another explosion sent them all flying back. "Stupid rock." Muttered George as he dug the offending geology out of his back.
"All of you stay together and make your way to the woods of Lorien." Glorfindel took charge of the situation.
"But Ada is in there!" Yelled Pierre.
"There is nothing you can do here. Now go, before anyone else gets hurt!" Commanded the Balrog slayer.
The triplets with tears in their eyes were shepherded off by the royal housekeeper followed by the remaining elves of Mirkwood.
George, Kalin and Glorfindel remained.
"We should look for them." Pleaded Kalin. "What if they are hurt, or lost!"
"Like you said yourself, there is no way we would be able to see them, we could walk straight past them and not know it." Reasoned Glorfindel.
"Then what do we do?"
"Pray." Answered Glorfindel solemnly. "Come. The triplets will need you Kalin."
"But…Kai…"
"Come." Glorfindel turned to find George missing. "Oh for the love of Valar where has that boy gone?"
"Didn't he follow the group?"
"Most likely. Come on Kalin."
Meanwhile…
"Stupid lightsabre…" George followed the offending weapon as it rolled down the hill. Finally catching up with it he stuffed it in his pocket and made his way back to where Kalin and Glorfindel 'were'.
"What the…" George looked around. "I'm sure they were around here! Maybe they went to look for Kai and Legolas." George sat on the remains of a splintered tree and set about waiting.
An hour later…
"Okay bored now…I know, I'll do a rain dance!"
……
The journey to Lothlorien was shortened by the fact that the horses had escaped the stables and loyally followed their masters. However, the journey was a silent one. The Mirkwood refugees were greeted into Lothlorien by shocked elves.
"Mirkwood is gone." Haldir shook his head in disbelief. "What of Legolas?" Taking one look at the distraught triplets Haldir got his answer. "No…he can't be…"
Boromir held his husband tightly, "I'm sure he will be alright, Glorfindel and Kalin are still there looking for him and Kai." Boromir hoped he sounded more sure then he felt.
……
"This cough is cough so cough typical cough of cough Kai!" Grumbled Legolas as he fought his way through the now burning embers of his home. "Always having cough to save cough his butt!" Legolas looked up as the first drops of rain began to fall.
"Thank the Valar for that!"
……
"Wow it actually worked." George looked up at the rain clouds and continued his Saturday Night Fever dance routine. "Hang on a sec…I'm wet now…and cold…and wet…and cold…and hey look the fire is out!" George cheered to himself and quickly scurried off into the blackened forest. "Time to scavenge!"
George headed straight to the royal talens which were now technically not talens as they were no longer in the trees but rather under them.
"Boring." George threw the candlestick holder over his shoulder.
"Boring." Next was a boot.
"Boring." A random book.
"Boring." A smouldering Banana.
George got up and moved over to what looked to be a different section of the talen.
"Boring." A pink hat.
"Boring." A game boy.
"Bori.. Hang on…" George looked back at the hat and game boy. "That's Emily's…" George looked around. All the stuff was Emily's. "Legolas kept it all." George pondered this sadly for a minute but then went back to rooting.
"Boring." A bright orange furry pillow.
"Disturbing." A whip.
"Boring." A stripy Converse.
"Ouch!"
George turned round to see Legolas rubbing his head.
"Ooops, sorry."
"What are you doing! Why aren't you looking for Kai?" Asked Legolas.
"Oh is he still missing, anyway what I am doing I believe it is called theft." Answered George.
"Well could you desist, this is…" Legolas trailed off. "It's all gone…I've lost her."
Legolas had spent so long hording Emily's things in hope of her returning seeing it all burnt and lost was too much for the elf.
"No you haven't. They are just things, at risk of quoting Kingdom of Heaven, Emily is here and here." Said George pointing to Legolas' head and heart. "If it makes it any better I'll see what I can salvage."
"I had better continue looking for Kai, he has to be alright, he can't of…"
"Why are you still here?" Butted in George.
"Oh right." Legolas left in search of Kai.
George began to pick up random belongings, "I need a bag or something…" George scanned the ground and was drawn to a bright red object, the only thing which seemed to be unaffected by the fire. "That looks familiar." He wandered over to it and pulled it out from underneath the rubble. "Sweet!" Yelled George as he held up the magic bagtm.
……
"Kai? Kai? Where are you? Kai?" Legolas stumbled into the remains of the kitchens and focused in on the body of an elf lying deadly still. "Kai!"
……
A/N: George: Okay this one was a bit short but in out defence we are both doing a load of exams at the moment.
Emily: Now is the point where we get lynched mobbed for even contemplating killing Kai off. Well, we are undecided at the moment whether the infamous Kai should join Emily in this fanfic's tomb! Just have to see how depressing this week is! Here are the thank yous:
Orli's-no.1-girl – thank you I shall bask in your praise! Here is the chapter hope you like.

Princess shadowcat – Fish weird is good! I'm sure Pierre enjoyed his little sojourn with Kai!
Limpet666 – We are making a film and need someone to play Faramir and we naturally thought of you! I just had visions of Legolas tied to a tree then! Hmmm…excuse me a minute!
Billie Joe's Mistress – Yeah Kai's future is looking a bit peaky now! Hopefully I'll come up with a random way to save him although it doesn't look to promising!
