Chapter Twenty-four: Retribution
When Elrond woke the following morning, his head felt like it had been bashed in with a hammer. Stumbling over to his mirror, Elrond rubbed his eyes and peeked into the mirror. After blinking several times, he noticed his lovely new look. He shrieked like a teenage girl and Elladan and Elrohir came rushing into the room. The twins hadn't seen what the three mischievous girls had done yet, so they almost fell over laughing. Elrond growled and smacked his two grown sons upside the head and yelled at them, "Stop laughing! It's so not funny!"
Elladan and Elrohir glared at Elrond as they rubbed their heads from the smack they had each received. They ceased their laughter and slowly regained their composure from their laugh attack.
"I need you to help me!" Elrond pleaded with his sons, dropping to his eyes and begging.
Barely able to keep from bursting apart with laughter, Elrohir asked, "What do you need our help for?"
"I need you to help me torment that Ranger brat!" Elrond cried, his eyes taking on an evil look.
"Adar, why would we do that?" Elladan asked, only slightly surprised at Elrond's request.
"Because, because if anyone can get back at her for what she has done, it would be you two!"
"I think Dolly and Becca are doing an excellent job at that already," Elladan said, remembering that Tithenwen had stolen Dolly's camera and that Becca was on a sugar high.
"That doesn't matter in the least! I want her to leave the city for good and in tears!" Elrond exclaimed, and he looked like he might pop a blood vessel or something.
"Well, if you want her to leave, then just agree to the wedding already!" Elrohir said, quickly losing his patience with the crazed Elf Lord.
"NO! I will not see another of Elven blood give up their life's grace to be with a mortal! Not to mention a lousy Ranger!" Elrond yelled, eyes wide and horrified at the suggestion.
"Sorry we said anything!" said the twins as they departed.
Elladan and Elrohir left Elrond's rooms faster than the blink of an eye. Silently, they moved from shadow to shadow as they neared Tithenwen and her friends. Smiling, they spied upon the group. A furious Dolly was currently chasing Tithenwen in circles. Apparently, Dolly had been more than a little pissed off by her camera being 'borrowed' by Tithenwen.
"How dare you borrow my camera!" Dolly was shrieking at Tithenwen as she chased her around with a sword stolen from the Witch King.
Becca was bent over laughing and turning purple as she watched the two. Tithenwen was just laughing at how ridiculous Dolly was being, seeing as she had already returned the camera. Tithenwen just kept dancing out of Dolly's reach so that she was still alive. Finally Dolly gave up and Tithenwen stuck her tongue out at Dolly and flopped down on the ground to rest.
Elladan and Elrohir shared an evil smile and snuck off to do Valar-only-knows-what.
Tithenwen lay againsta talltree and closed her eyes. Boy was she tired! Dolly just didn't seem to understand that no harm had come to her precious camera and she'd already returned it! Oh well! She almost asleep when she felt something hit her head. Something that cracked upon impact.
Looking up, Tithenwen saw an egg crack, hitting her eyes. She growled and wiped the gooey egg stuff off of her eyes. Someone was dropping eyes on her! She rolled away from the tree and heard twin cackles coming from the tree. Rolling her eyes, she realized that it must be none other than her uncles, Elladan and Elrohir.
So she slipped away and returned only to throw flour and water at the twins from the rooftop. The twin ghosts looked from one another to Tithenwen who smiled and waved at them from above.
"You're dead meat!" the ghost twins called at the young Ranger who disappeared from sight.
They soon caught up with their niece and proceeded to tickle-torture her. Squeaking like a little mouse, Tithenwen tried to escape her uncles but to no avail. Finally, they picked her up and carried her to the highest spot of the Last Homely House and tied her feet together before hanging her upside down by her feet,
"Not funny at all!" Tithenwen called after them. "I'll get you back for this!"
Growling under her breath and cursing, she plotted ways to get back at Elladan and Elrohir for their little 'trick'. Darkness fell, and Tithenwen was still hanging upside down. And there she remained until the following morning.

Reviewers!
Cassandra of Troy – Well, it was supposed to be a bad makeup job and I figured that you'd have fun doing it! Glad you liked it!
Mr. Random – It was only a matter of time before he lost those creepy thing! Good riddance to the eyebrows!
Laer4572 – Thank you! Thank you! Elrond's one of those characters who is fun to torture. Haldir and all the other Elves left in Lothlorien had better run before the SUV comes!
