Thranduil hurried down the halls with Galadriel and Nanaylia following him. Nanaylia had just told both him and Galadriel what was wrong with his son and he was not believing it one bit.

"Are sure that is what is happening to him?" Thranduil wanted to make sure. "It's seems impossible for it to actually occur."

"Yes, it is. I am positive for it has happened before. You should know that. I know that. There's really nothing any of us can do to stop it. The only thing I can do is go after him and make sure that he doesn't hurt anyone or himself. Gandalf might be the only one who can help him now. It's not impossible. I've seen it happen," Nanaylia replied. "Believe me, I know."

"I think I know of a way that she could go to help him but it would be risky," Galadriel told the two of them.

"Then how?" Thranduil demanded to know.

He stopped and turned to face the Lady of Lothlorien. The look on his face told her that he desperately wanted to know.

"Follow me," Galadriel told them. "I'll explain on the way."

Thranduil and Nanaylia both glanced at each other before following her. Galadriel led them towards a nearby room. She knocked on the door and heard a 'come in' before opening it. She looked at Haldir, who was standing next to Celeborn.

"What is it Galadriel?" Celeborn demanded to know. "Is there something the matter?"

He nervously walked over to the group of three as Haldir stepped towards them.

"Legolas is in trouble and at the moment, we have only one idea to actually help him at all," Galadriel explained.

"And what is that now?" Haldir asked.

"That Nanaylia goes after him and we need your help to do it," she told Haldir.

Haldir was more than surprised with this as he stepped towards Galadriel.

"My Lady?" he questioned.

"I know what I am doing. Here's what I am proposing," Galadriel replied.

She explained to Haldir and Celeborn what exactly was to happen. Haldir began to shake his head about halfway through.

"No, I cannot allow this. I know you have talked to Elrond about this but I don't know if I can do this. Especially with her in this condition," Haldir protested as he stepped barkwards a few steps.

"It's the only way Haldir. This transformation that is happening to Legolas is inevitable. It is coming and when it comes fully, it might be the ruin of everyone around him, not just himself," Galadriel told him.

Haldir made eye contact with Nanaylia and he saw that her eyes were saying 'please let me do this'. He gave a sigh before nodding his head.

"Alright, I will let her join me but remember that whatever happens, I was against it from the beginning," Haldir replied.

Nanaylia ran over to him and threw her arms around him in a hug. Haldir was very surprised with this action. Thranduil, Celeborn and Galadriel all smiled at each with the scene.

"Thank you," she whispered into his ear.

That caused Haldir to smile before placing a arm around her.

"You're welcome," he quietly replied. "It's the least I can do."

Legolas sat in the chair, a hand on his head while the pain raged through his entire body. Aragorn stood next to him while Gandalf stood on the other side of the room. The wizard had requested that Gimli nor anyone else be in the room. The dwarf had protested against it but soon complied.

"Legolas, what's wrong? You've never attacked me before. At least not in that manner," Aragorn wanted to know.

"Aragorn, I don't know. I simply don't know," Legolas quietly replied, his face buried in his hands. "I-I don't know what came over me."

Gandalf walked up to the elf and placed a hand on his shoulder. Legolas barely reacted to the gesture. Aragorn also placed a hand on his friend's other shoulder.

"Would you like to talk about it at all?" Gandalf asked him.

Legolas shook his head before unsteadily trying to stand on his feet.

"Do you think that you should be walking? You are still in shock, I think," Aragorn wondered.

Legolas stared at him out of the corner of his eye, not wanting to look in the face of the man he had just attacked. He didn't want to but he figured he probably should as to avoid further suspicion and nodded his head. Legolas sat back down and continued to stare away from Aragorn.

"Legolas, I'm not mad at you for what happened," Aragorn quietly told him.

"But I am angry with myself for actually doing it. I was not in my right mind but I still should not have attacked you," replied Legolas.

"I don't care about that. If there's anything wrong with a friend, I would like to know what it is,"Aragorn asked. "If you have any idea on what is happening, you can tell me. We can figure this out together."

"I have no idea what this is," Legolas replied.

It was partly the truth: he knew something was happening but he didn't exactly want to let Aragorn, or anyone else for that matter, to know about it quite yet, whatever was happening. But they knew something was happening despite his trouble not to let them know.

Aragorn walked over to Gandalf, who was continuing to watch them.

"He's trying to hide it," Aragorn whispered to him.

"Of course he is. We can't force him to tell us what's wrong but I have a feeling that he will let us know one way or another, if he wants to or not," Gandalf replied.

"So what do you propose we do until that happens?" wondered Aragorn.

"We have to let him go about whatever he's doing. If he attacks you, or someone else again, you might have to confine him. Right now, the king is preparing to leave Edoras, to Helm's Deep. I don't think he should be a problem but keep close eye on him. We won't know when the next attack will be. You know it's not a matter if it's going to happen now," Gandalf told him.

Aragorn nodded as he glanced over at his elven friend.

"When we left Lothlorien, I thought he'd be alright since he'd be away from his sister, since it appeared that only she was triggoring it. I guess I was wrong," Aragorn explained to Gandalf.

The wizard nodded his head, trying to understand himself what was happening.

"What should we do now?" wondered Aragorn.

Gandalf broke out of his trance and glanced over at Aragorn.

"I would say carry on with what you are doing," Gandalf told him.

"But Gandalf..." Aragorn started.

"I know, I know. I realize that he had several problems already, between Lothlorien and here. Just like you, I won't know when anything will occur. We won't know until it happens again," Gandalf replied. "Keep a watchful eye on him as much as you can. You won't know when the next attack will be."

Aragorn nodded before heading back over to Legolas.

"Are you feeling better?" he asked the elf.

Aragorn wondered if Legolas had heard any of the conversation but his answer soon came as he saw the elf's almost blank stare. Aragorn began to wonder if it was from the recent incident or was slightly tired. Gandalf also noticed this action and leaned more towards the latter.

'That is odd. Elves do not tend to show exhaustion. Why is Legolas feeling that way now?' the wizard thought to himself.

"Helm's Deep indeed. This is madness," Gandalf grumbled.

"Theoden is only doing what he thinks is best for his people. Helm's Deep has saved them in the past," Aragorn put in.

"But there is no way out of that ravine. Theoden is walking into a trap. He thinks he'll be leading his people to safety," Gandalf explained. "What he'll get is a massacre."

Legolas inwardly gasped as he listened to Gandalf. The wizard continued to talk with Aragorn but he had tuned it out. What had caught his attention was the fact that there was no way out of Helm's Deep. Just the idea of that scared him.

'No way out? Now I really don't want to be heading there now but if I simply refuse to head inside, they'll wonder why. I cannot tell them that I need to be in open spaces. 'Tis strange. I never felt this way before. Not before Moria. Ever since then, I've felt different,' Legolas thought to himself.

The sound of hooves quickly broke his concentration. He looked to see that Gandalf was almost ready to leave. Shadowfax galloped out of the stable. Legolas noticed the look that the horse gave him on the way out.

"That horse has a problem with me and I'd like to know what it is," Legolas muttered.

"What was that elf?" wondered Gimli.

"Nothing Gimli," Legolas replied as he stared in the diretion the horse went in. "Nothing important. It's nothing to worry yourself with."

Gimli narrowed his eyes as he kept watching the elf as they continued to head towards their horses and began to head out towards Helm's Deep.

Gimli talked to Eowyn as Aragorn listened in from behind them. He was quietly laughing as the conversation was about dwarf women. In the middle, he saw her turn around and look at him.

"It's the beards," Aragorn quietly told her.

Aragorn watched as Legolas headed way ahead from the group. It appeared to Aragorn that the elf was trying to avoid them again but he couldn't be certain. His thoughts soon went back to Arwen. Eowyn asked him a question to which he answered and his mind traveled away from his friend.

Legolas glanced back at Aragorn and Gimli, knowing well enough that the two were carefully watching him after what happened at Edoras. He headed up to a small hill and stared at the plains before him. He began to sense some danger slowing arriving to his position. He could sense it but it seemed to come from all around him. He glanced behind him to see Aragorn, Gimli, Theoden and other Rohan people heading towards him.

'Why do I get a strange feeling from them? These people are of no danger to me. I have friends in Gimli and Aragorn. The Rohan people are just trying to survive,' Legolas thought to himself.

His stare returned to where he was looking before, taking notice of the two horses approaching from behind.

'Someone approaches. But who would be approaching? I am sensing danger but no longer is it coming from afar but from behind,' Legolas thought to himself as he moved forward a few steps.

He heard a scream and ran over to the two men. He quickly readied his arrow and shot at the warg as Aragorn hurried into view.

"What is it Legolas?" asked Aragorn.

"A scout!" cried the elf, pulling out his bow.

Aragorn began to ran back, not even noticing Legolas quickly turn around and stare at him.

'I don't believe it. That strange feeling is coming from them! Why is that now? I don't understand. Why is it coming from them?' Legolas thought to himself.

He turned back around and began to fire arrows at the wargs. At the same time, it felt both wrong and right to be doing so. He heard the horses coming up from behind him and he climbed onto the one Gimli was sitting upon. Soon after, he felt Gimli jump off the horse. He glanced back at him before his mind went to the task before him.

Legolas attacked a few of the orcs before finally stopping the horse somewhat. The creature was very nervous with what was going on around him yet Legolas never seemed to notice a thing. His mind became a complete blank and he wasn't seeing anything that was going on around him. The arm carrying his bow lowered to his side. One warg stopped nearby and the rider cautiously stared at him as he slowly advanced forward.

All of a sudden, Legolas lifted his bow up and began to aim it at the Rohirrim. He released several arrows hitting at least some of them. He couldn't tell how many he had hit for he couldn't see where he was aiming anymore.

Legolas soon led his horse over to Gimli, who was trapped underneath the warg.

"Glad you could finally help me Elf," Gimli managed to get out.

Legolas didn't answer and the only reaction he had to Gimli was the lifting of his bow.

"Legolas! What is this all about?" demanded Gimli.

The dwarf struggled to free himself but he knew he couldn't in time as Legolas continued to draw the bowstring.
