Chapter 25 reviews:
Emily: I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed that chapter. He will be, don't worry. He just has to wake up first!
MaddyPaddy: I love Shadow to. And by the way, Shadow is a guy. I wish he was my horse. Yes, poor Glorfindel's hair.
KyLaaa: Oh, glad to hear you like this chapter as well!
Inwe Nolatari: I'll add more, don't worry. And where else would you find a Japanese sword then in Japan? And thank you for the cookies!
Kel: Glad that you think so.
Avion Jade: what would the Homely Home be without its troublemakers? And since the twins aren't there, then Erestor and Glorfindel will just have to take there place. And not to mention that Legolas doesn't like to be reminded that he was hurt and will have to sit still for who knows how long.
IwishChan: If you ever do something stupid around people who are suppose to be watching and taking care of you, blame them! It's fun, and I would know because I did it before when I was little. And it wasn't even their fault! I'm so evil. What can I say, Shadow is very protective of Legolas.
Rebell: of course you would, and so would I, but Glorfindel can't have his reputation ruined! So you wrote this during school? Wow...
KerowynGreenleaf: Ah, that makes sense. Legolas probably doesn't like healing rooms. Yup! Shadow is feeling a whole lot better now! I'm Glorfindel will think of something. Elrond is a smart elf, how could he not know? Thank you for the review!
Silver Mirror: -blush- I feel so special now! The same is true for me. I use to read and find so many good stories, but now its hard just to find a story that keeps my attention.
Arialas: Glad you thought that. Thanks for the review.
Legolas's fanatical fan girl: I'll add more Leggy in the next chapter, which is this chapter, so don't fret.
Elf of life: Glorfindel can be pretty surprising. Shadow is more cool if he is evil!
Elven Kitten: Thanks for the review!
"Blah" - Galadriel
blah - Legolas
Chapter 26
Morning light filtered into the healing room through a window and onto the bed right underneath it. The light pierced the slightly dark room and revealed a figure sleeping in the bed. Slowly, it creped up until the light was shining into unfocused eyes.
The eyes slowly focused, as Legolas blinked a few times as the light continued to blind him. Why he didn't just pull the covers over his head, no one will ever know. But the light did do something for him. It made him wake up.
He sat up as he tried to remember the last thing that happened. He remembered the bolt in his chest, then the mad rush on Shadow, and finally he remembered seeing the twins, Raindul, Estel, and two others elves. Then that means that they're ok. He thought.
He sat up, winching a bit as the stitches on his chest were pulled. He preceded to pull the covers off of himself and got out of bed. He wobbled a bit as he tried to get his balance, then looked for his tunic, seeing as he was only wearing his pants.
After locating his tunic, which was washed and folded neatly on a nearby table, and putting his boots back on, which were sitting on the ground next to the table, Legolas made his way out of the healing house.
It was actually still pretty early, and not many elves were out at the moment, so no one notice the figure leaving the healers room.
Legolas slowly made his way to the surrounding woods, wanting nothing more than to climb a tree and continue his nap. Of course, first he had to find a tree he could climb, which wouldn't be easy, as he soon learned. Not only were the trees the big, but with his injuries, Legolas doubted that he could even climb to the lowest branch.
So he did the next best thing. He found a nice tree and sat at the base of the trunk.
His side still hurt a little from when he fell off of Shadow and his chest wound made it hard to take a deep breath of air. He leaned his head on the trunk as he thought about recent events that had happened in his life.
So much has happened in such a short amount of time. Well, at least several good things came out of this. I got to meet the twins and Estel, and I got to find out that I have an ada somewhere. I also got to meet Raindul and I got Shadow as well. Legolas smiled as he thought of this. Yes, so many goods things had happened to him.
I wonder what my parents look like. He frowned as a thought came to him. Raindul mentioned my ada, but how come he never mentioned my mother? Wasn't the Queen just as important as the King? These questions and more swam through his head as Legolas took a look around him for the first time.
The trees with an inner light seemed familiar, and so did the size of said trees. It took a bit of thinking on his part, but he finally realized why the area seemed familiar. He had meet another elf in an area similar to the one he was in. What was the name of the elf again? Ah yes, Haldir. Legolas chuckled at the memory. He had surprised Haldir when he had appeared behind him on one of his routine patrols. Legolas had teased the elf for a while before disappearing as suddenly as he had appeared. From his hiding spot between a bush and tree, he had watched as Haldir spat out colorful words and pretty much stormed back to his home or something. Legolas wouldn't know since he didn't follow.
Now that he thought about it, didn't Haldir live in Lothlorien? Then that means that he should be nearby. Legolas thought with a smile on his face. Once again, he slowly got back up and headed back the way he came. While I'm there, I might as well check and see how Shadow is. Hopefully he isn't to hurt.
While Legolas was making his way back, the twins, Estel, and Raindul were making their way to the healing house to check up on Legolas.
"Do you think he's awake?" Estel asked. He was feeling much better then yesterday, and that was saying a lot.
Elladan shrugged. "Who knows. If he is, good for us. If he isn't, then we'll just wait till he wakes up. Simple as that."
"Yeah, unless the healer decides to throw us out again." Elrohir mumbled loud enough for everyone else to hear. Raindul and Estel chuckled as Elladan threw his twin a glare.
When they got there, they noticed that some of the healers were running to different places while some of them kept going into the room, then come back out, only to run back inside.
"What do you think is going on?" Raindul asked as they drew closer. A few of the healers that saw them turned to the elf next to them and whisper something while pointing at the approaching group.
Elrohir watched as a healer ran by them. "I have no idea."
When they finally reached their destination, they were greeted by the same healer that kicked them out. She looked a bit out of breath and her eyes were a bit larger then normal.
"Oh! There you all are! I was beginning to wonder if you were going to show up." She said this all quite fast and it took a bit for the group to find out what she said.
"Uh," Estel decided to begin. "Is there a reason why everyone around here is running around?"
The healer chuckled nervously. "Yeah...do you remember that elf that had the bolt in his chest?"
The others nodded. Did something happened to Legolas?
"Well," The healer began to twiddle her fingers. "He wasn't in his bed when we came to check on him, but we thought that he might had needed to use the washroom, so we didn't worry about it. After about thirty minutes and no sign of him, we began to worry." Before she could continue, Elladan interrupted.
"Wait, wait, wait." He said. "Are you telling me that you lost him?"
The healer was now looking at the floor. "Um, yes?"
There was silence for a moment as the group of four slowly dissected what was just said.
"So you mean to tell us," Raindul began, "that you lost an injured elf and that, at this moment, said injured elf could be lying somewhere lost in the woods?"
The healer gave Raindul a look. "Uh, no. What I mean to tell you is that the injured elf is no longer in the healing room. I don't believe I mentioned anything about being lost in the surrounding woods."
"Great." Elrohir said while rolling his eyes. "Figures that Legolas would get up and walk out at the first chance he gets. We should have strapped him onto the bed."
"What should we do now?" Estel asked.
The healer cleared her throat, getting the others attention. "I suggest that you all leave and go look for that friend of yours."
The four quickly left the healers to go look for their missing friend.
"Ok, how do we do this?" Elladan asked.
"I think that each one of us should go in a separate direction, that way we can cover more ground." Estel said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, which it kind of was.
Raindul patted Estel on the shoulder. "Good thinking Estel. Now we just have to figure out who goes in which direction." Raindul's captain instincts kicked in. "Elladan, you go left while Elrohir, you go north. Estel, you will go right while I will go south. Understood?" The others nodded. "Good. We will meet back here every hour. Now go!"
And with that, they were off.
Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel were in the middle of a make out session when the door to their room flew open followed by a panting healer.
The three didn't move until the Lord and Lady realized what position they were in, and blushing like crazy, separated from each other. The healers face was a red so dark, it would make a tomato jealous.
The Lady and Lord took a moment to fix their robes before Celeborn cleared his throat, making the healer, who had found the floor rather fascinating, look up. "Is there something we can do for you?" Celeborn asked.
Once again, the healer blushed. "My Lord, my Lady, I apologize for the sudden interruption," at that Celeborn raised an eyebrow, while Galadriel gave a small smile, "but I was told to tell you that the elf that was injured had gone missing."
Celeborn and Galadriel looked at each other, each showing a little concern. "Thank you for informing us. You may leave now if that is all there is to say." Galadriel said in a soothing voice.
The healer bowed before quickly leaving, closing the door on his way out.
Once the door closed, Celeborn and Galadriel looked at each other again. "Why did I have a feeling that something like this was going to happen?" Galadriel asked.
"Maybe it's because you have the gift of farseeing." Celeborn responded. Then he got off the bed, which was where they were before they were interrupted, and made his way to the nearest window.
Galadriel followed suit a short while later, standing next to her husband.
"Why don't you just look for him using your mind?" Celeborn asked while holding his wife's hand.
Galadriel just smiled. "I already am."
Legolas, after walking around for what felt like hours, finally found the stable and went inside just two minutes after Elrohir left.
He made his way to the end to the last pen, where he found Shadow, looking as if he was dying of boredom. Legolas shook his head and smiled. "Shadow." He called out.
Shadow's ears pricked up at the sound of his name and turned his head in the direction the sound came from. When he saw Legolas, he gave out a joyful neigh.
Legolas opened the pen door and made his way to Shadow. Once he got next to his horse, he kneeled and began to pet Shadow on the neck. "Hey there Shadow. How are you doing?"
Shadow just nudged his head against his owner, making Legolas topple over. Shadow then proceeded to lick Legolas on the face.
Legolas pushed his horses head away while laughing. "Yuck. You know, you act more like a dog then a horse." As if understanding him, Shadow snorted and turned his head away. This just made Legolas chuckle. "Fine. Be that way."
"Legolas."
Legolas almost jumped out of his skin when he heard the voice. It sounded like a female voice, but it also sounded as if someone had spoken in his head. Ok, I think I'm losing it.
He heard a soft chuckle. "Silly elf. Do you realize that you have the healers in a panic?"
Legolas quickly stood up and began to search the area around him. "Hello?"
"You don't have to speak out loud. I can hear your every thought just fine." The voice spoke again.
Ok, either I'm going crazy or there really is someone talking in my head. Legolas thought as he slowly turned in circles. Shadow also had his ears up, trying to catch any unusual noises.
There was a sigh from the voice. "Really Legolas, I thought you were smarter then that."
Who is this? Legolas asked.
"My name is Galadriel."
Galadriel? Wait, that sounds familiar. Pause. Wait! You mean Lady Galadriel? The Lady of the woods!
A chuckle. "The very one. You know, your friends are looking for you at this moment, and so are the healers. They're really worried about you."
Oh. Well, I'm at the stables right now, visiting Shadow.
"Thank you for telling me. I will call your friends and tell them were you are. Good day Legolas, and I will be seeing you soon." And with that, the voice was gone.
Hello? Legolas waited for a response, but when none came, he sat back down next to Shadow.
"You know what Shadow? This place is really weird."
Shadow just nodded his head.
well, there is the next chapter. Hope yall enjoy it.
