Linwe screamed once again."ADA HELP DAMNIT!"

"Linwe! Language!" A foreign voice said

Linwe blinked, and looked about. She saw Elrond. "DAERADA! HELP!" Tears appeared in her eyes. She fell over because of the armor.

Elrond picked her up and held her on a hip, kissing her head and murmuring in Elvish. "This is a strange child. Do you know where he ada is?"

Linwe squirmed in his arms, and pointed at Tirza. "HELP HER!" She screamed in elvish. ELrond set her down. "I WILL. You go find her ada, or YOUR ada, now please!" Linwe nodded her eyes at him. "You betta help her! Or I kick your ass." She threatened in elvish.

Elrond swatted her "Dina!" (silence)"Do as I ask melamin, now"

Linwe stomped her foot. "Auta miqula orqu!" She screamed before running off.

Elrond ignored her, and turned his attention to the small and strange child. She was definitely human, but he had never seen such a human before. She was strangely familiar and then again---not

Severus was running with Aragorn to see what was the matter.

Linwe ran straight into Aragorn. She started to talk in quick elvish/common tongue. He leaned down to her, and soothed her slightly. "Try again Linwe, slow, breathe child" Linwe took a deep breath. "We were playing with armor, and we were rolling, and Tirza hit her head like this." She smashed her hands together, and yelled. "BOOOOOOOOM!"

"Where is she?"

"With daerada." She looked at Severus.

Aragorn's eyes widened, thinking that Tirza could have crushed her head. "Linwe, show us where she is, very quickly. THen find your mother, we will need her healing knowledge"

"Elrond? He's here?"

She nodded, and looked down. "He might wanna kill me though.. I told him to kiss a orcie.."

Aragorn rolled his eyes. "Take us to him anyway Linwe, then find your nana" Linwe noded, and dragged them both outside to were Tirza, and Elrond were.

Arwen had heard the commotion and had began to search the grounds when she came upon them "What is the matter?"

Elrond was leaning over Tirza his hands on her head where a large bruise had formed.

Linwe came flying out of the castle, and jumped on Elrond's back. "DON'T KILL HER!"

"Where is the adar (father) of this child?" Elrond called "Linwe, I am healing her, for Valar's sake!" he chuckle Linwe narrowed her eyes in suspision. "That all?"

"I am Severus" Severus said "her father"

"Hush" Arwen said quietly to Linwe then knelt beside Elrond

Linwe nodded. "Sheep boy is telling the truth." "Sheep boy?" Elrond shook his head "Is this child always so thin?" he asked, looking at Severus rather severly

Linwe fell off Elrond's back. She crawled to Tirza, and curled up protectively beside her.

A short sword still in hand.

"Linwe, take these things back for ada please"

Linwe pouted. "Nope." She moved close to Tirza, eyeing Elrond's eyebrows.

Elrond leaned down to Linwe. "My precious, I need you to do a very big job for me please"

Severus sighed and nodded " Yes"

Arwen frowned "She shouldn't be this thin

Linwe looked at him.

"I need you to go and get a tea from the cook--any tea, for her to drink when she wakes, please? I need room to heal" "But what if your eyebrow scares her." She frowned. Elrond sighed "It will not scare her, her adar is right here, and your nana. Please, do this for me" Linwe sighed, and set the sword down. She got up, and raced into the palaceish place.

"I wish I was back home" Severus sighed

ELrond cleared everyone away and put his hands on her head once more. He moved through her mind, and healed the pain and the color of the bruise lessened to only a slight bit colored. Then he sighed and picked her up. "She will wake in a moment. I have not met you. I am Elrond of Imladris (Rivendell). She is healed, I assure you."

Linwe came speeding down with tea. "Got it daerada!"

"Wonderful melamin"

Tirza moaned and then blinked her eyes

Linwe beamed proudly, and giggled.

"Are you alright?" Elrond asked

Linwe watched Tirza.

She blinked, then her eyes focused on him. "Holy hell, you're Elrond, Lord Elrond" she whispered, her eyes wide

Elrond quirked an eyebrow "How do you child know my name?"

Linwe shuddered slightly, and looked away from THE EYEBROW.

"I know lots about you" she said softly "I read about you, and you look just like the movie, I swear. Ooooh god, not the eybrow!" she shrieked

Linwe shuddered. "Isn't it scary!"

"What is a movie: Elrond asked "and I know of no books here that contain much information about me"

"Never mind" she said softly. She reached up and lightly touched her bruise while Severus stared in awe. Poppy would still be running tests and giving potions... Linwe held tea up for Tirza.

"Thanks cutie" she said, drinking it slowly. "Yummy, honey in there!"

Linwe nodded. "I tolded the cook to put it in. She no let me bwing da coffee."

Tirza giggled. "Dad doesnt let me drink Coffee anyways"

"Awww, he sucks." She giggled.

Arwen smiled "Are you okay then child?"

"You" Elrond said to Severus "You I wish to speak with right away. Arwen, take the child and put her to bed, make sure she rests, for she may feels spells of dizziness if she moves too quickly"

Tirza nodded "Yep, I'm good" she tried to wriggle out of Elrond's arms

Linwe tugged on Elrond's robes. "LET HER GO DAERADA PWEASSE!"

Elrond kissed Linwe's head. "I don't want her to fall, so I will give her to your nana" he said

"I tan carry heeerrr!"

"No, you must carry her tea pen-neth"

"I will carry her" Arwen said gently taking her from Elrond

Linwe frowned. "Why you talk to evil sheep boy?"

Severus sighed no use in correcting her now

"Linwe, that is not his name. His name is Severus. Be polite pen-neth. Now go with your nana and watch your friend please" Tirza pouted as she was passed to Arwen

Linwe shook his head. "No, he's evil sheep MONKEY" She decided, with a thoughtful smirk.

"We shall read a book" Arwen suggested

Tirza nodded. "I like stories"

"Me toooooooo!" Linwe bounced, and hugged Arwen's leg.

"You smell really good" Tirza said softly.

Linwe sat down against the wall, and crossed her legs.

"Why thank you" Arwen smiled "What shall we read?"

"I like it here" Tirza whispered "Will you stay with me?"

"Of course" Arwen replied "tis a good home here"

Linwe looked down, and started to bite her lip.

"Linwe, you ok?"

She nodded, and put on a smile. "'course."

"I wish my mom had been like you" Tirza whispered as Arwen settled her on the bed and began looking for some clothing to change her into for resting

Linwe stood up. "I, ermm, gotta get ma bear.." She ran out, her little feet making no noise on the stone.

"Was she not a fair woman?" Arwen asked surprised

"Is she mad at me?" Tirza asked about Linwe, watching her little friend. "My mom?" she sighed "No--not really"

Linwe went to her room, and crawled up onto her bed. She curled up in her hole that was made in the teddy bears. She grabbed an old wore bear, and closed her eyes tight.

"I think Linwe is mad at me" Tirza said, feeling sad. "LINWE" she called

"LInwe is very sensitive and when things happen she thinks that it is all her fault" Arwen sighed "and I hate that your mother was like that"

The small girl didn't answer. She buried her face in her bear. Tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Ew, are you looking in my head?" Tirza blushed scarlet colored

Aragorn went to find Linwe. "Linwe, whatever is wrong? your friend is fine, your daerada healed her"

Linwe sniffled, but didn't answer him. She moved deeper into her home of teddies.

"Linwe, if I have to find you, I shall tickle you mercilessly" he teased The teddy bears moved, as the girl had shrugged her shoulders.

Aragorn lifted her out. "Tell ada what is wrong my darling" he said, cuddling her to his chest

Linwe buried her face in Aragorn's soft shirt, and sniffed. She started to talk very quickling in both elvish, and common speech once again.

"No I just can tell that sometimes people come from backgrounds that are less than perfect" Arwen said

He listened closely, his ears understanding all her words. "You fell jealous pen-neth? Why?"

"Oh" Tirza said softly. "Good, I don't want you to read my head" she was embarrassed at what Arwen might find in her her thoughts

"S-she...takin' nana from mee.." She whispered quietly. "An-and I no mean to get her hurted.."

"You did not get her hurt, it was an accident. And she will not take your nana. Your nana is just so kind and all love her. Can you blame her for being jealous? She has no nana little one"

"I forgotteded.." Linwe looked down, now VERY embarassed for being so stupid.

Aragorn kissed her forehead. "Your nana is kind to all, and she loves children very much, especially YOU for you are her child. Remember, your daernana died when your nana was little, so she knows your friend's pain, tis all there is. Tirza will not take your nana, for your nana is ONLY yours"

Arwen smiled "I promise I will not look in your head if you do not wish for me to" Linwe smiled slightly, and shook her head. "I tan share her I guesses..Why did daernana go 'way?" She asked quietly.

"She was hurt pen-neth and had to leave." "Ok good" Tirza said softly. She looked at Arwen shyly, then moved a little closer and laid her head on the Queen's lap.

"Why?" She questioned suspicously. "If you was hurted would you leave nana, and me too?"

"uncle Legolas won't let me be hurt that badly, I promise. See, your daernana was hurt when she was alone, and was not found for a while. By the time they found her, she was very hurt, and not even her nana (Galadriel) could save her. She had to go, or be in pain all the time. So she said her goodbyes and she sailed west, where she lives now without pain."

"Are you alright dear one" Arwen asked quietly

"Tan I go visit her?" Asked the little girl. She understood now! Her daernana just went on a trip.

"nay pen-neth you cannot. She is in the Grey Havens and someday you may go see her, but not now"

Tirza shrugged, closing her eyes, a strange feeling flooding her body.

"Why not?" She narrowed her eyes. "I just gotta get on da funky ship, eh?"

"Darling, you can only take that ship when you die" he whispered

Linwe frowned, and looked down. "Was daerada weally sad?"

"My dear I only wish to help" Arwen said "you are a delightful young lady"

"Yes, he was sad, but he had your nana and your uncles, so he got past it and has lived a nice life. And now he has you too pen-neth"

Tirza looked up at her "Really? You wanna help?"

Linwe smiled, and wiggled slightly. "Tan I go hug him? I wanna say sorry for telling him to kiss an icky orcie."

"Yes, that was not very kind, and yes you may hug him pen-neth"

Linwe wiggled out of his arms, and took off running down the hall.

Aragorn returned to the throne room

She found Elrond, and glomped him!

Arwen nodded "I would be delighted to help a young lady such as you"

Elrond chuckled and hugged her tightly. "You are sweet my granddaughter, and all is forgiven. Go play and be with your friend now and try to keep clear of troubles" Linwe cuddled close to him. "Can't. She with nana.."

Tirza watched her for a moment, then crawled into Arwen's lap and cuddled tight against her. "This helps" she whispered

"Then go be with them Linwe, I must talk to this man and you cannot hear it"

Linwe frowned, and looked up at her daerada. "No be mean to him. Evil sheep monkey no mean to be evil sheep monkey.."

"I will not be mean to him, I must tell him some things that I know and have seen"

"Why?"

"Because he must know"

"Why?" She smiled innocently.

"BEcause, now run along" he set her down and gave her a gentle push in the right direction

She turned around, and hugged him once more. "Ok.." She sighed, and walked out. She went off to play by herself.

Elrond turned to Severus. "Severus, is your name, is it not?"

Or so everyone thought. Linwe leaned her ear against the door, and listened to her daerada, and the evil sheep monkey.

"Yes" Severus replied

"I have looked into your child's future, and into her mind and fea (like spirit or soul)"

Come on!

"And what I have seen disturbs me greatly"

"What do you mean?" Severus asked worriedly

"Ooo not good.." Thought Linwe.

"Great darkness chases her fea, and threatens to over take her at each turn of her life. As she grows, so will the darkness. I advise you to keep yourself safe, for should you leave her, she would take her own life"

Tears welled up in Linwe's eyes. She shook her head, and frowned. "Nooo!" She growled.

"I would never leave her or allow for that to happen" Severus told him

"Be both wise and wary of whom you associate yourself with, for some will haunt you and present dangers you are as of yet unawares."

Severus sighed "There are many things that could haunt me but I will be careful"

Linwe blinked, and glared at the door. She walked off to play alone.

"I would never leave her or allow for that to happen" Severus told him

Severus sighed "There are many things that could haunt me but I will be careful"

"There will be two tragedies, but keep faith, her fea will guide her through, and she will be made stronger. There will be struggles, guard her close to your heart always, and make your love known in many ways, for it will ease her fea in times of troubles"

Severus sighed "I'll do my best"

Linwe finally managed to come back into Tirza's room. She shuffled in, trying to be unnoticed. She tripped, and fell. "Opps.."

"She will find great happiness, from the strangest of places" he said softly, ending his spiel. "I hope I have done right my friend in telling you this"

Tirza giggled

"YOu ok?" tirza asked

Linwe stood up, and nodded. She dusted off her knees, and sighed. "I always fall. No worries."

"Thank you for sharing this with me"

Tirza smiled sleepily

Elrond nodded. "I hope it iwll be of help to you"

Linwe walked over to the bed. She sat down, and remained oddly quiet.

Tirza blew her a kiss

"I would imagine it will" Severus replied

Elrond nodded. "I am sure your child is resting well now with Arwen. We could go see her"

Linwe sighed slightly, and forced a smile. "So, what's going on?"

"are you ok?" tirza asked, sensing something was wrong and slowly easing off Arwen's lap

Linwe looked at her. She blinked, and nodded. "O, ermm, yes." She answered quickly.

"Oh, ok..." tirza felt uncomfortable

Linwe nodded, and started to chew nervously on her lip. She knew it wasn't right to lie.

Tirza shifted nervously and twisted a dark curl around her finger

Linwe looked down. "I fink i'mma gonna...go to...bed.."

Tirza sniffled and nodded

"Are you ok?" She looked at Tirza.

Tirza shrugged "Just...sore" she siad softly

"I'm sorry I gotted you hurt.."

"thanks" she whispered

"I'm sure ada will probably punish me wots..I not suppose to pway with the armor.."

Tirza hugged her softly

She hugged her back. "I dese-rve it." She sighed. "I shouldn't of gotteded you hurt."

"It was a accident"

"But still.." She sniffed.

tirza shrugged

Linwe walked out of the room. She walked slowly threw the halls, and found the throne room. She opened the door slowly. "ada?"

"YEs linwe?" Aragorn asked softly, patting his lap for her to sit

"Did I make her mad?"

Linwe shuffled in slowly, and climbed on Arwen's lap.

"What's wrong?" Arwen asked softly

She shrugged slowly, and looked down. "Nothing ada."

"Are you sure my love?"

"Yes ada.." She leaned against him, and closed her eyes, frowning.

"I think I made her mad, I just---mis---this"

"Are you sure my little love?"

"Yes ada..I promise.."

"No not at all" Arwen said

"Promise? I'm sorry" she slipped off Arwen's lap and under the covers

"I promise and you have nothing to be sorry about" Arwen told her

"Linwe, you must never lie to ada. I only want to help you, tell me"

"I feel like i do"

"I..I.." She shook her head. "It's stupid." She mumbled.

"Your just a little scared and in a different place" Arwen said "in time things will become easier"

"The only things stupid are questions never asked and thoughts never said"

"No, that's not it"

"Then what?"

Linwe looked up at him, and blinked slightly. "Woooww..You right deep, man.." She decided, a look of wonder on her face.

"That---that---- I like you all special" she whispered "And linwe knows it"

Aragorn kissed her head. "Come now, share with me little one. I loev you very much"

"I guess, i'm just worrieded for Tirza.." She said quietly, and carefully, choosing her words.

"She just needs to get used to it" Arwen told her "she's going to have to share me soon anyway"

"Why?"

"But that is different. That is hers and you are hers and I am not---and I wish I was!" she started to sob

"She ish really sad..And I tan tell she misses her family and friends, and i'm sure she gots lots.."

"I wish you could stay here but you would miss your friends" Arwen reminded her

"She probably does miss her family and friends, but she likes you honey"

"i wish you were my mommy" she whispered, burying her face in Arwen's lap

"Really?" Linwe asked quietly.

Aragorn nodded. "Of course dear. Why else would she play with you and want to be your friend?"

"I got her hurted though.."

he shook his head. "No dear, that was an accident, I promise"

"I wish I could be" Arwen said quietly

"I s-s-should go say sorrys..I guesses.."

"Really?" she whispered, raising her tear stained face to look at the pretty elf "Why?"

"You dont have to, you have done nothing wrong"

"I feel like I have.." She looked up at her ada, and frowned.

"why?"

"You just seem so sad" Arwen said "and you need someone like me it seems"

"B-because..." She shrugged her small shoulders. "I always do.." She decided slowly.

"I don't have a mommy" she whispered

"well dont. how can ada help you?" he cuddled her tight on his shoulder and rubbed her

back slowly, kissing her littl ehead

"Someday you might" Arwen told her gently

"Holds me, and love me." She smiled a pretty little smile, and buried her face in his robes.

"Always to both pen-neth, always" he rocked her and murmured sweet things to her

"I just want one now that loves me lots"

"Does your dad not love you lots?" She yawned softly, and rubbed her eyes sleepishly.

Aragorn rocked her more, hoping she would fall asleep and he could tuck her in, or even hold her while she slept

She yawned again, and sniffed. "Ada?"

"Course he does, and I love him lots, he's the greatest dad ever. But--he's a dad. He's not soft like a mommy, like---like you, and just---mommy's are different" she said softly, not quite sure how to explain it

"yes?"

"My bear.." She whimpered, and looked up at him. "He gots to keep away the bad dreams." She frowned.

"I know" Arwen sighed "but I can't come back with you if you return home"

Tirza cuddled tight against Arwen, just needing the motherly hug and gentle touches and brushes of her hair. She---she just craved it

"I know darling" he carried her to her bed and tucked her in with the right bear

She hugged it to her chest, and curled her knees to her chest."Stay ada?" She asked softly, half asleep.

"yes pen-neth" he sang an Elvish lullaby that Celebrian sang to him when he was first a little foster in Imladris and stroked her hair

Arwen kissed her head and began humming a tune while stroking her hair

Tirza cuddled tighter and tighter. "Will you stay with me, please?"

Linwe moved her head onto his lap, and soon drifted into a light sleep.

Arwen nodded and smiled "of course"

Severus stood in the doorway watching them for a moment

Severus entered a moment later to check on Tirza and found her cuddled in the strange Queen's lap. He felt angry, scared, and betrayed all in one moment and he wasn't sure why at first. Then it dawned on him. What if Tirza liked this woman so much she never wanted to return to Hogwarts? She knew he had to go, would she chose a mother over him?

"Good evening" Arwen said quietly "your daughter is a wonderful child"

Severus quirked an eyebrow. "Yes, thank you, i know that" he struggled to keep his tone

even. Tirza heard him and murmured softly, but was close to sleep.

"Maybe we should take this outside?" Arwen suggested

he nodded and before she could do anything, Severus took Tirza from her and kissed her sweet face, squeezing her tightly to his chest, then tucking her into bed. he bunched up a pillow and placed it in her hands, hoping in sleep she wouldnt notice that it wasnt her beloved lion

Arwen sighed and said "She really misses her mother"

Severus nodded and followed her from the room into a large sitting area "Yes, I know she does. Why I cannot possibly even begin to imagine" he half growled

"Maybe because your not of the femine side" Arwen suggested "She misses those things only a mother can provide"

"I do my best, but I cannot be a woman if that is what she wants. And her mother is gone now"

"That she told me" Arwen said "and she said that you do the best you can which I believe is true"

He nodded. "I do, no matter what you or anyone else believes. And I'm a damn sight better then her mother was, even on my worst days!" He felt defensive and angry

"I see" Arwen sighed

"See what?" he asked, his voice slightly softer. It didnt appear like this woman wanted to take Tirza from him...

"How much you truly care about her and how much she truly cares about you"

---------------------------------------------

"What the?" Legolas said when he awoke one moring to feel weird things sticking in his head. He got up to look in the mirror and found bows "LINWE"

Linwe and Tirza hadn't expected him to wake up yet and they fell off the bed as he did

"What have you two done?" Legolas asked

Linwe groaned, and rubbed her butt. "Ouch, man.." She had picked up ALOT of stuff from Tirza.

"um, well, we made you pretty?" Tirza offered

Linwe nodded. "Yea, pretty."

"Someone better start explaining before I take you both to the king"

Linwe groaned, and moved towards the door. It was too early to go to Aragorn!

"WHAT? But we didn't do anything bad! We just like your hair..." Tirza stated, also sneaking towards the door.

"My hair is NOT a play thing for young girls" Legolas groaned "it will take hours to remove them"

Linwe giggled quietly.

Tirza gulped "It wont take hours... hopefully"

Linwe finally almost reached the door. She started to open it.

Tirza was right beside her, ready to run like the wind

Linwe counted in whisper to three, and flung the door open, running down the halls.

Tirza ran after her, surprised how fast her friend could run, considering how small she was

"I'm telling your father" Legolas shouted after them

Linwe stopped in her tracks, and shuddered.

Tirza stopped fast and turned around. "Do you have to?" she asked softly

Linwe looked at him. "Yea Uncle Leggie. Do you gots too?"

"Look at what you did to me" Legolas pointed out "you wouldn't dare do it to your ada"

"Would too!" Defended Linwe.

"My dad's hair is gross, that's why" Tirza stated truthfully. "Yours is much prettier"

Linwe nodded. "ada has weird hair."

Legolas sighed "Well I won't tell them IF you agree to help me get rid of this stupid bows"

"But they make you pretty Uncle Leggie!"

Tirza nodded "they look nice, honest!"

"I am NOT a girl" Legolas pointed out "one bow MAYBE but many makes me look feminine"

Tirza shuffled "dont tell on us!"

Linwe bursts into tears. "YOU CAN'T! ADA WILL MURDER MEEEE"

"Well then you can help me remove them"

"Dont cry" tirza said, hugging her friend

"We'll help, please don't be mad!"

Legolas nodded "I won't be mad anymore as long as you help and I want tell your ada's either"

Tirza sighed in relief and approached him slowly

Linwe shook her head, and sniffled.

"Linwe do you really want me to tell your ada?"

"linwe, come on! if your dad gets told, mine will find out!"

Linwe nodded, and started to follow in suit.

'So help me, ok? Legolas, sit down, I cant reach you" Tirza climbed up on the bed and stood there

Linwe nodded. "I'm short."

Legolas sat back down and sighed "I will not be offended if you left one bow but no more than that"

Tirza giggled "Ew, then you'd look like Lucius Malfoy with only one bow"

Linwe looked confused. "Huh?"

"never mind, he's just a bad dude--er, guy"

"Gentlemen in our time prefer one bow if they have long hair" Legolas pointed out

"Dude..Cool..'

"Weird---I thought Elves only like braids. Funky"

"I just like mine to be free flowing"

Tirza began to carefully take out the bows, but gasped as some hair followed the clasps

Linwe gasped as well. "Shits.."

"What's going on girls?" Legolas asked

Tirza sniffled and grabbed Linwe's hand and they screamed and took off running down the hallway

Linwe sniffled loudly. "Let's hide in da stables!"

"Dont kill us!" they screamed as they ran to the stables

Linwe lead her into a stall, and they hid in the hay.

"I asked what was going on what is going on?" Legolas demanded

Linwe didn't move, hoping he didn't notice her.

Tirza sneezed

"I see you Linwe" Legolas told her "you cannot hide from me"

Linwe shuddered. "He's the all seeing eye."

"creepy" tirza whispered

Linwe nodded her agreement, and suddenly, she grabbed Tirza's hand, and bolted out under Legolas's leg, and down the hall.

"Don't make me get your ada's" Legolas called out after them

"i hate it when people say that" tirza whined

Linwe shook her head. "He won't dos it. Comes." She dragged her into her room.

"I warned you" Legolas told them and went in search of Severus and Aragorn

Linwe hid under the bed, being VERY quiet.

Tirza hid too, but they could hear both men enter. "Linwe, come out now" Aragorn ordered

"I know your in here as well Tirza" Severus said

Linwe shook her head, and climbed up into the matress.

Tirza gave Linwe a weird look

"Tirza don't make me come get you" Severus said quietly

"Linwe, if you ever want to have chocolate again, you will come out this instant." Aragorn said sternly

Tirza sighed and slowly slithered out. "We didn't mean to give him a bald spot..."

Linwe shook her head. She KNEW she'd get chocolate somehow.

"Linwe, come out right now, or---or---I'll make your nana come!"

Linwe shook her head again. The only was she would come out was if-- daerada. She shuddered.

"Tirza keep at it and you'll be punished til next year"

"What?" tirza squeaked "I'm out! It was an accident that his hair come out!"

"LINWE I WILL TAKE THAT BED APART!"

Linwe blinked, and giggled. She wanted to see that!

"Faramir! Get me an ax!"

Linwe started to giggle harder. She REALLY wanted to see this!

"And take all the bears and give them away, we don't want them hurt!"

"NOOOOO!" She screamed, as she came flying out.

Aragorn caught her and plopped her straight into a corner

Linwe crossed her arms over her chest, and kicked at him. "BAD! NO LIKE CORNER!" She got up, and marched away from it.

Severus glared at Tirza "If you hadn't have put bows IN his hair then his hair wouldn't have come out"

Aragorn swatted her hard "Linwe, I am not in the mood for your tantrums!"

Tirza gulped. "But the bows don't pull my hair out, I didn't know his hair was so sensitive"

Linwe's eyes slowly filled with tears. She moved away from Aragorn.

He put her back in the corner sighing heavily nd wishing elrond would stop laughing in his head

She looked heartbroken. She crossed her legs under her and buried her face in her hands.

"Tirza you only put one or two boys in your hair" Severus pointed out "I believe you put around ten bows in his hair"

"Dad, ahve you seen how long his hair is?"

Linwe quietly snuck out of the corner, tears rolling down her cheeks and aragorn put her right back

She wiggled, and looked VERY sad. "I no like you!" She spat at him.

Aragorn looked devastated and could think of nothing to say in return

She looked down, and sniffed.

"Linwe, that was mean" he finally whispered

"Tirza that's not the point" Severus told her "you shouldn't have put that many bows in"

"I no care!" She sniffled, and moved away. "You hitted me! That bad!" She spat at him again.

"I didnt hit you"

Tirza hung her head

She kicked her feet at him, and sniffled.

"Aragorn might I make a suggestion?" Severus asked quietly

"stop kicking linwe---please valar, yes do my friend"

Linwe sniffed, and glared at Severus. She was REALLY beginning to hate him.

"The corner doesn't always work when my daughter misbehaves" Severus said "have you tried talking to her, grounding her, or even spanking her?"

Tirza squirmed, getting a feeling she would be visiting a corner herself very soon

Linwe narrowed her eyes. She took off her shoe, and threw it at Severus.

"Nay, Arwen and I have tried to refrain from spanking her---" Aragorn glared at Linwe

"However, I am thinking that you and my ada are correct in that idea. LINWE Unless you want a spanking right here and now, you will stop! You will stay in this room all day, do you hear me?"

Linwe looked at him, and glared. There was NO way he would spank her, so she nicely took off her other shoe, and threw it at him.

"Would you both be so kind as to leave my daughter and I in peace?" Aragorn asked through gritted teeth

Linwe buried her face back in her hands, and sniffed.

Tirza just stared at Aragorn, who said something in Elvish and made her giggle

Linwe sighed deeply, and looked up. She stared at Severus, and Tirza hoping they wouldn't leave.

Severus nodded and left dragging tirza with him

Linwe whimpered, and looked up at Aragorn. "Ada... I sorry." She whispered.

"Linwe, I am most upset with your behavior. It is not kind nor appreciated"

"Dad, we didnt mean to make him go bald, honest!"

"I'll never do it again!" She promised.

"Tirza you should have known better" Severus told her

"I am sure you won't" Aragorn said. He hugged Linwe tight, then put her over his lap and gave her six hard spanks "You will stay in this room until bedtime, when your nana and I will tuck you in"

"I'm sorry---" she said softly

Linwe looked shocked. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked down.

"Let's go to your room" Severus told her

Aragorn rocked her in his arms

She quickly moved away from him. She felt SO betrayed. She shuffled to her bed, and lied on her belly on the bed.

Tirza gulped and held his hand as they walked together. "I'll tell him sorry and I won't do it again" she offered. "His hair was so pretty, I guess I couldnt help myself"

Aragorn sighed and kissed her head, then left the room

Linwe stayed in her room the whole day, and didn't even come out for supper. She just lied there and cried.

Elrond went to see her

Severus nodded "An apology would be appropriate and I think you should go to bed early tonight as well"

Tirza groaned

Finally, Linwe came from her room. She shuffed down the hall, and looked for Elrond.

She noticed him coming her way. She flew into his arms.

And ran into Elrond, who picked her up "We need to talk pen-neth"

She buried her face in his shoulder, and sniffed.

"Pen-neth, you cannot be so unruly for your ada. It makes his heart sad. Do you know that?"

She shook her head. "I-I didn't mean to make his heart sad."

"I know, but can you remember this from now on? And try to be a good girl for him? He loves you so much, he cried pen-neth, inside for you"

"Would you prefer a spanking?" Severus asked

"I-I made him cry?" She said slowly. Tears welled up in his eyes. "Bad Linwe.." She hung her head. "Bad bad Linwe."

"Shh shh, no Linwe, you are not bad, you are learning"

"WHAT?" Tirza squeaked, taking a step back, her eyes wide. "No!"

She shook her head. "Bad.." She whispered.

"no, not bad linwe. do not think that of yourself"

"Then don't give me problems about going to bed early"

"Very bad Linwe..' She sniffled, and raced down the hall away from Elrond, searching for Aragorn.

Elrond sighed

Tirza pouted "Dad, please, dont make me go to bed early. How can I find Legolas if I go to bed early?" she asked

She came to Aragorn's room, and knocked softly.

"Come in" he called, looking up from his throne

She shuffed in, looking at the floor.

"Linwe, I asked you to stay in your room until bed. Can you not listen to even one thing I ask?"

"You will be able to find him tomorrow if not before you go to bed" Severus told her "so you have your choice early bedtime or a spanking"

"not very equal choices" she pouted, bouncing onto the bed

Linwe burst into tears again, and flew into arms.

Aragorn sighed and rocked her tight

"I no mean to make your heart sad." She whispered. "I bad. VERY bad."

"I would say they are in light of the damage you caused"

"It was only one tiny spot! You cant even see it!"

"I know darling, Iknow. you are not bad though, never bad. you are just little. I was much much worse then you, trust me"

She hugged him again, feeling awful.

"Do not feel so bad little one, but you must go back to your room now. You need to learn to listen"

She shook her head, and cuddled into his arms. "No wanna go. My heart is sad too."

"That is why you need to Linwe. So you can think of why both our hearts are sad, and how they can be fixed." he kissed her head and set her down "go now child, I shall be in soon"

Linwe sniffled, and nodded. She turned, and ran out. She still felt terrible.

"Still you did it" Seversu replied

"but...but..."

"Don't make me have to spank you as well"

Tirza burst into tears

Linwe kicked her feet, and sighed. SHe walked around the castle.

When Aragorn went to Linwe's room, she was just walking in.

"Linwe" he moaned

She frowned. "I haded to clear my head.." She frowned. "It's all confused."

"When I tell you to clear your head in your room, that is where you do it"

"I sorry." She hung her head. "I guess I just screws up ALL the time! I stupid." "you are not stupid, you jsut dont use your pretty ears very well"

She giggled, and wiggled her ears a bit. "Nots lots, no.."

"what?" he asked

"I no use my ears lots." She agreed.

"oh" he laughed

She laughed too. "Yeppers. You loves me still, right?"

"Of course!" he hugged her tight

She hugged him back tight. "Good. I be sad if you don't."

Tirza looked at Severus, wanting a hug

Severus sighed "Alright come here" he said opening his arms

Linwe looked at her feet, and sighed. "You gonna spank me, 'gain?"

she jumped into his arms "god, why do i always make a mess of like---like everything!"

"I should" aragorn sighed, rubbing his forehad "but i wont"

She hugged his leg. "If you thinks you should..It's ok.." she whispered. "I won't be uber mads."

he shook his head no and picked her up

She wrapped her arms around him, and hugged him tight. "Love you."

"Love you"

"You don't want me to go way right?"

"never"

"Dad, I'm so sorry!"

"You just need to stop doing things cause they seem fun" Severus told her "you need to think about what the other person will think and then do it"

"he wears braids, i didnt think he'd mind too much... "

Linwe wiggled out of his arms, and walked to the bed.

he kissed her forehead

"Still it's better to ask then to just do it"

Linwe smiled, and curled up on the bed. "Daddy."

tirza nodded "please dont be mad, i hate it when you're mad"

"I'm not mad I just wish you would think more before you act"

she nodded "i do try---most of the time. can i still eat supper with everybody?"

"yes pen-neth?" aragorn asked

"M-my.." She shook her head, and buried her face in the blankets. "Never mind.

"No, tell em" he tickled her

She giggled softly, and wiggled.

"Tell me, tell me!"

"STOOOOP!" She giggled, and tried to get away.

"noooo!" he teased

"Of course and hopefully you will find Legolas there and apologize"

"you won't let him kill me right? he looked---pissed. but still pretty"

She screamed with later, and tried harder to get away. "CAN'T TELL IF I LAUGHING!" he stopped and hugged her close

She hugged him back, and smiled.

"Of course I won't let him kill you" Severus replied

she giggled and hugged him really tight

"My ass hurts lots.." Linwe whispered.

"Just promise not to do tahta again' Severus said

ARagorn laughed loudly

Tirza nodded "Promise"

She giggled as well. "It does!" She wiggled, and bounced into his lap. he hugged her tight.

"Can you make it better?" She asked softly.

"no"

"Please.." She gave him her best puppy dog eyes.

"honey, i dont even know how"

She frowned. "Does daerada?"

"yes, but you will get over it"

Linwe shook her head. "No. I can't sits!"

"Hush"

"I wanna be able to sit." she pouted.

"You will be able to soon, calm yourself"

"Or better yet, ask your nana"

"Nana will heal it?" She asked happily.

"I have no idea"

Linwe got up, and ran out. When she found Arwen she dived at her, and tackled her.

"NANA!" She sniffled.

"Yes sweetie" Arwen said

"Will you heal my ass?" She asked sweetly.

"Why would I need to do that?"

"Ada spanked me ass." She nodded. "Yeppers."

"Why did he do that?"

"My shoe slipped out of my hand.. Twice."
