Chapter 10
"Elrohir, your making to much noise!"
"I am not! You're the one making noise! You couldn't keep quiet if your life depended on it!"
"WHAT! How dare you!"
Glorfindel grounded his teeth together. Elladan and Elrohir have been arguing ever since they reached the deeper part of the woods, and they have been getting louder and louder. Estel was practically laughing his head off.
"Lord Glorfindel, shouldn't you tell them to keep there voices down?" Raindul was looking at the twins with a look of amusement and annoyance.
"I am not loud!" Elladan was practically shouting.
"Yes you are!" Elrohir was just as loud.
Estel had one hand over his mouth, trying hard not to laugh out loud. He had a few tears gathering in his eyes, from trying to hold it in and his sides were starting to hurt. A few moments later he couldn't hold it and burst out laughing.
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"AM NOT!"
"ARE TOO!"
"AM N–"
Glorfindel couldn't take it anymore. He was pretty sure that everyone in the woods could heard the twins. "BE QUIET!"
The twins shut their mouths and Estel stopped laughing. Raindul was looking at Glorfindel with wide eyes. He didn't think that Glorfindel was that loud!
Glorfindel marched up to the twins, who shrunk back. "You two should be ashamed of yourselves! This is suppose to be a stealth mission and you two are making more noise than a group of orcs!" With each word, Glorfindel poked the twins in the chest.
Raindul clicked ths tongue to the roof of his mouth. Well, this is interesting! He was about to speak, but movement at the corner of his eye caught his attention. Turning his head, he saw Estel looking at his, shaking his head and mouthing the word 'no'. Raindul nodded to show he understood.
By the time Glorfindel finished poking the twins and lecturing them, they had their head bowed and looked humiliated.
Glorfindel made his way back to Raindul's side. "Sorry about that. Those two act more like elflings then prince's."
Raindul chuckled. "Don't worry my Lord, I just find it entertaining." He let out a small sigh. "You're luck your realm had two prince's."
Glorfindel didn't know what to say to that. He knew that Mirkwood had no prince, since the prince was said to have died when he was an elfling. I wonder why the king doesn't take on a new wife. He would of asked, but it wasn't his business. Instead he said something else. "Please, no titles. I would like it better if you just called me by my name."
Raindul smiled. "Very well, Glorfindel."
While both Glorfindel and Raindul continued to chat at the front, the twins and Estel kept their eyes on the surrounding woods.
"Do you think he heard us?" Elrohir asked as he kept searching the woods.
"I don't see how he couldn't hear you both. You guys were very loud." Estel chuckled as he said this.
Elladan frowned. The only reason that they were shouting was so that Legolas would be able to hear them. They needed to find him before the others elves did so that they could tell him what was going on.
Estel poked Elladan in the side. "Don't worry 'Dan. I'm sure that Legolas heard us. He's probable heading here even as we speak."
Indeed Legolas had heard them.
He was walking slowly and keeping an eye out for any movement. He was also listening for anything that might tell him if he was about to run into another pair of elves. He hasn't ran into any after the pair that he had to trick to get away form.
So far, everything was clear and there wasn't anything around. Every now and then, he would ask a tree if they have seen any elves passing by. The answer was always no.
He was about to relax when–
"AM NOT!"
Legolas almost jumped five feet into the air.
"ARE TOO!"
Legolas put a hand over his heart to find it beating fast.
"AM N–"
"BE QUIET!"
After that, the woods got quiet again. Legolas quickly calmed down. "Sheesh, what was that about?"
He was about to turn around when something clicked. The first two voices, they belonged to Elladan and Elrohir!
"Well, how lick am I?" A goofy grin crossed his face and he began to head towards were he heard the voices. As he got closer, and he tell that he was getting closer when he heard someone talking but couldn't make out the words, he realized that the twins were probably with someone else. Legolas frowned at that thought. That meant that he was going to have to be careful, incase someone else heard him, which he doubted.
As he got closer, he hid behind a tree and heard what he believes is Estel say "– even as we speak."
Poking his head out from behind the tree, he caught a glimpse of the twins and Estel, and ahead of them he saw two other elves.
Looking around the ground, he found and picked up a small rock. Looking back towards the group, to make sure no one was looking, he threw the rock at Estel.
Estel was walking a little ahead of his brothers when he felt something hit him on the side of his head.
"Ouch!"
Hearing the cry, Glorfindel and Raindul turned around quickly and headed back to Estel.
"What happened?" Glorfindel asked.
Estel rubbed his head and turned to glare at his brothers, who were looking confused. As he turned back towards Glorfindel, he saw movement behind a tree. When he looked closer, he saw a hand wave at him, followed shortly by a head.
His eyes widened when he realized who he was looking at. Legolas! Turning back to Glorfindel, who has raised an eyebrow, Estel gave him a sheepish grin. "Sorry about that. Don't worry, it wasn't anything important."
Glorfindel nodded and began to head back to were he was when Estel called him back. "Glorfindel, can we take a break?"
Glorfindel looked surprised. "A break?"
Estel nodded. "Yeah. It doesn't have to be long, just so that we can rest for a while."
Glorfindel looked at Estel, then to Raindul, who shrugged, then back to Estel. Glorfindel rolled his eyes. "Fine."
Elladan and Elrohir gave each other confused looks. They both knew that Estel wasn't tired. He could go waaay longer that the amount that they have traveled. They both looked back to Estel, who was headed towards a tree. Elrohir shrugged and followed Estel with Elladan behind him.
When all three got to the tree, they sat down underneath in the shade. About ten seconds later, they heard a voice.
"Hey guys!"
Elladan and Elrohir both jumped up and began to look around.
Estel grabbed both of them and quickly pulled them back to the ground. "Stop it you two! You might make Glorfindel or Raindul look over here!" Then in a quieter voice he said "It's Legolas!"
Elrohir was the first to snap out of his surprise/shock. "Legolas?"
"Yeah?"
Elladan looked around. "Where are you?"
There was a small chuckle. "On the other side of the tree that your sitting under."
"Oh" Elladan said.
Elrohir smiled. Then opened his mouth to ask a question, but Legolas beat him to it.
"What's going on?"
"What do you mean?" Estel asked.
"I saw a pair of elves sneaking around in the woods. It looked like they were looking for something."
Elrohir barked a laugh. "They were looking for something. Or rather someone."
"What do you mean?"
Elrohir let out a sigh. "Legolas, they were looking for you."
"Me!"
Elladan nodded his head, even though Legolas couldn't see it. "Yes, you."
"But why?"
Estel held his head in his hands. "Some elves saw you several time and they think that you were spying on them or something. Elrond thinks that you might be a treat to the elves that live around here."
There was silence for a while.
"Legolas?" Elladan called.
"Yeah?"
Elladan shook his head. "What are we suppose to do with you?"
Suddenly Elrohir grinned. "I know!"
"What?"
"We can make it look as if you ran off" Elrohir was thinking of a plan as he spoke this.
Estel looked over at Elrohir. "How are we suppose to do that?"
Elrohir chuckled. "Oh don't worry about that, I have an idea."
Well, there's the next chapter. School ended yesterday, so I had plenty of time to write this chapter. Hope you guys like it.
