Chapter 26 reviews:
KerowynGreenleaf: Yeah, now I have to write the sad story of how Leggy's mom dies. How sad. I think I'll do that next chapter
Emily: Your welcome. Glad Legolas is back in the story as well. Glad that you liked the conversation! Shocking? Maybe. I'm still thinking of ways that they can meet.
Rebell: That's Legolas for you! Leaving whenever the opportunity shows itself. I like the healer as well, one of my favorite parts in that chapter. It was so much fun to write! Art is cool!
Avion Jade: Sneaky little elf ain't he? I have an idea of what his friends are going to do to him when they find him. Having everyone around your finger and not knowing it, Legolas should be happy.
MaddyPaddy: I plan on making Legolas and Haldir meet again. That should be fun to write. I can be very good at hiding things. The funny thing is that the closer the hurricane got, the less scared I was. Weird.
Illeanah: I just want to get to the part were Legolas and Thranduil meet, but I can't. That would leave so much out of the story!
Silverkonekotsukari: Yeah for the insane elves! And thank you for the review!
Silver Mirror: So glad that you think so! This was a fun chapter to write. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it.
IwishChan: Glad that you like the conversation. I don't know about you, but when I wake up, I am very slow and sometimes forget what I was going to do, so I just sit there for about five minutes doing nothing. Sad, huh?
Legolas's fanatical fan girl: I'm glad that you thought that the chapter was funny. I try to put a little humor in all my chapters. I think it would be funny to see healers running around looking for someone. The Celeborn and Galadriel making our part was just in there for fun, it doesn't even have to do with the story. I just wanted to write that in there. Don't know why I wanted to, but I thought it was funny. Sorry if you didn't like it.
Galimeril: I have a problem with words that sound the same but are spelled differently. I always get them mixed up! I don't think I ever heard of the Keith Urban Concert. But I am sad to hear that you didn't get kissed. Life can be so cruel!
SalanTrong: You did? That makes me feels very good. Tell your friends that I said thank you!
Chapter 27
After being told where Legolas was, the twins, Estel, and Raindul quickly made their way to the stables.
"Elrohir, how could you have missed him?" Elladan asked.
Elrohir shot him a glare. "Oh, I don't know. How about the fact that he wasn't their when I checked!" To say the least, Elrohir was not in a happy mood.
Estel just shook his head. "Come on you guys, at least we know where he is. No need to be so immature." The twins just looked away while Raindul quietly chuckled.
Before they knew it, they were standing in front of the stable doors. Once there, they made their way inside and all the way to the back, where Shadow was kept. They knew that Legolas was most likely with the horse.
Sure enough, when they got to the pen, Legolas was sitting next to the horse, petting it's neck.
Legolas looked up with a smile on his face. "Hey guys! Took you all a while to get here."
Elrohir quickly opened the pen and made his way to the sitting elf. Once he stood in front of Legolas, he grabbed said elf by the shoulders and began to shake him. "You stupid elf! Don't you know how worried we were about you? For all we know, you could have gotten lost in the woods!"
"I-I-I-I-m-m s-s-s-o-o-o-o-or-rr-ry-y-y-y" Legolas managed to get that out before they weren't able to understand him anymore.
Shadow, not liking the way his master was being treated, reached over and bit Elrohir in the leg, making said elf yelp in pain and loss his grip on Legolas, who stumbled a bit before falling to the ground next to his horse. By this time, the others were already inside the pen and were holding Elrohir in place incase he decided to go after Legolas again.
Raindul smacked Elrohir in the back of the head. "Idiot! Legolas is still injured remember? You can't just go up to him and start shaking him around like that!" He smacked Elrohir in the back of the head again to get his point across.
"Ok, ok! I won't shake him or any of that stuff. Now can you guys let go of me?" The others slowly let go of him. Once he was free from their grasp, he bent to look at his leg where Shadow had bit him. It was bleeding a little. "Damn horse! Look what you did!"
Estel frowned at his brother. "You can't blame him. After all, you where shaking his master and in case you haven't notice, Shadow is very protective of Legolas." He turned to Shadow and began to scratch behind an ear. "Aren't you Shadow? Yes you are!" The others, even Legolas, looked at Estel as if they didn't know him.
Elladan walked over to Legolas and held out a hand. Once Legolas got a good hold, he carefully pulled him to his feet. Legolas stumbled a bit, trying to catch his balance. "You ok?" Elladan asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Legolas answered. He took a breath, only to winch and put a hand on his chest. The others noticed and became worried and concerned.
"Legolas," Raindul said, "I think your bleeding again."
Legolas removed his hand and, sure enough, there was a dark red stain where the stitches were. The others turned and glared at Elrohir, as if to say it was his fault, which, in a sense, it was. Elrohir just looked at the ground, mentally beating himself up.
Raindul began to pull Legolas away from the others and to the opening of the pen. "Come on Legolas, we should get you to a healer so that you can have that fixed." The others quickly followed.
The walk to the healers seemed to take longer than it should have, but that was all due to worrying. Once their, the same female healer was their to greet them. She took a look at all of them, noticing the blood on Legolas's chest and the blood on Elrohir's leg. She raised an eyebrow questioning.
"We'll explain later. Right now, can you fix these two up?" Elladan asked, although he knew the answer.
She just nodded her head and motioned for Legolas and Elrohir to follow her inside. Before the door closed, Elladan, Estel, and Raindul caught a glimpse of the healer wagging her finger in Legolas's face, as if lecturing him, while Legolas just nodded and Elrohir tried to contain his laughter from the background.
"So, what now?" Estel asked. Raindul just shrugged. He didn't have any idea what to do as well.
Elladan put his hands behind his head. "Lets go and speak with Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel. They might help us decided what to do with Legolas." The others threw him confused looks. "They might tell us if he is willing to go to Mirkwood or not."
Oh yeah! Raindul thought. I forgot about that. He nodded his head, to show that he agreed. Estel looked at both of them before shrugging. He didn't have anything to do, so why not?
The three made their way to the building were they knew the Lord and Lady lived in.
"Do you think that they might really be able to help us?" Raindul couldn't help but ask.
Elladan looked over to the captain. "Who knows? I'm sure that they will be able to at least tell us a little that will be able to help us out."
Celeborn and Galadriel were siting across from one another, glare at each other as well. There was a tension in the room that was so thick, one could cut it with a butter knife, if such a thing was possible.
There was such a look of concentration in their eyes that one would be reluctant to interrupt them.
Galadriel watched as Celeborn moved his hand, which had a pen in it, to the middle of the table. After making a mark on a sheet of paper, he withdrew his hand and waited for Galadriel to make her move.
Galadriel tried to read her husband's mind, but it was blank. As if knowing what she was doing, Celeborn just smiled. Now Galadriel moved her hand to the middle of the table. With a pen in her hand, she made her mark and withdrew her hand.
Celeborn looked down to the sheet of paper and frowned. After a short while, he made his next mark and motioned for Galadriel to go.
Galadriel studied the paper for a few seconds before making her mark, then smiled at Celeborn.
Celeborn studied the paper from every angle for a few minutes. Galadriel crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow with a small smile on her lips. Celeborn threw her a frown before he continued to study the paper, remembering to keep his mind blank incase his wife was trying to read it. Finally, he made his move and placed his mark on the paper.
Galadriel looked at the paper and couldn't hide her surprise. He had her trapped! No matter where she put her mark, he would still defeat her. She looked up and glared at her husband, who had a large smile on his face. Knowing that he had her beat, she just placed a mark in any available spot.
Celeborn smiled and made the last mark, claiming his victory. The tension in the room vanished, but the frown on Galadriel's face stayed. Galadriel looked at the paper lying in-between the two of them. Three X's in a row across the top. That's right my friends, they were playing tic-tac-toe.
Celeborn got up and walked around the table to stand behind his wife before embracing her from behind. "No need to be so down, it was only a game." He then placed a kiss to the top of her head.
Galadriel smiled before turning around in her seat and placing a soft, yet loving kiss, to her husband's lips.
A knock on the door interrupted the peaceful moment.
They looked at each other before Galadriel called out, "Come in."
They weren't all to surprise to see Elladan, Estel, and Raindul come into the room. They looked around the room for a while before turning their attention to the two rulers in front of them.
"Can we help you three?" Celeborn asked. Galadriel stood up from her seat to stand next to her husband.
Raindul cleared his throat. "My Lord, my Lady, we were wondering if perhaps you two can help us decide what to do with Legolas." Celeborn gave him a confused look.
"They want to know if they should take Legolas back to Mirkwood or leave him as he is." Galadriel said when she saw Celeborn's confused look.
Celeborn raised an eyebrow. "And this is important because?"
Before the others could open their mouths, Galadriel spoke. "Because he is the Prince of Mirkwood." Celeborn looked a bit surprised. The other three had eyes the size of tennis balls and their jaws were trying to reach the ground. Non of them remembered ever telling anyone that Legolas was the prince.
Galadriel smiled. "Do not forget, I can read you thoughts." Celeborn had amusement in his eyes as he watched the three try to gather themselves.
After straightening themselves out, Elladan spoke. "We don't want to force anything on him, but we don't know how to proceed. We were hoping you two might tell us something to help us out."
"It is good that you don't force him to do something against his will." Celeborn said. "That would only make things harder for all of you." He turned to Galadriel, who gave a small nod. "We will see what we can do." The three let out a breathe of relief. "Before you get your hopes up, I have to say that what we do might also make him decide to not go to Mirkwood. Do you accept these risks?" The three looked at each other before all nodding. Celeborn smiled. "Then we will do what we can."
"Thank you." Estel said. The other two said their thanks before they left.
Here is the next chapter! I know its short, but I like it. The next chapter, I believe, will also be short. It might also be shorter then this. Sorry if yall don't like that, but that's just the way the story goes!
