Legolas sat straight up. He looked towards his window just in time to see a bolt of lighting flash.

* I want ada! *

Legolas curled up in a ball as best he could with his battered body.

There was a loud clap of thunder.

Legolas jumped and tried to fight back tears.

" Ada.." he whispered to him self. " Where are you? You are always here. Ada?"

Legolas looked up and saw his teddy bear in the upper right hand corner of the bed. He slowly inched foreword until he was close enough to reach out and grab it.

Legolas wrapped his arms around Laure and slowly rocked back and forth waiting for his ada to come into his room and pick him up and put him in his huge bed. Legolas couldn't understand why his ada wasn't here like he always was when there was a thunderstorm.

" Ada" Legolas called slightly louder " ada"

* If ada isn't here than… they must of gotten to him. Ada is dead! And I'm the reason he died! Ada, you cant be dead, please don't be dead! *

Legolas got out of bed as quickly as he could. Still clutching Laure, Legolas opened his door and walked out to the cold hallway. He froze. Looking up and down the dark hallway Legolas was too scared to move. He stayed there in his doorway until a flash of lighting lit up the hallway. With a jolt he ran as best he could with out putting too much pressure on his ankle, to his fathers room. He opened the door and quickly walked inside the warm room. The candles were still lit and the fire burning bright. Legolas looked around the room and saw nothing amiss. Everything was in its place. There was no blood, no signs of a struggle, nothing. But that didn't calm Legolas's mind.

* They took ada outside! In a thunderstorm! They are going to kill him in the trees just like amras. Than they will come after me and Nefiath and Beraid. I have to go help ada. *

Legolas turned around and walked out of his ada's empty room. He some how managed to get to an outside door with out being noticed. Gritting his teeth Legolas slowly opened the door until it was opened enough so that he could slip though. Slipping though the open door Legolas was greeted by a strong wind and buckets of rain.

" Legolas clutched laure tighter to his chest if it was possible and said to himself " rain isn't going to stop me. I have to get to ada. I have to save him. Now, which way do I go?"

Looking around as best that he could Legolas realized that he saw no footprints or anything else that might help him find his ada.

* The rain must have washed the footprints away. Now what do I do? I'll just have to walk until I find them*

Legolas stopped gritting his teeth and started biting his lip.

Putting his head down to shield his eyes from the wind and rain Legolas walked until he reached the trees.

Hearing a sound behind Legolas spinned around.

He saw nothing.

He turned around again and walked forward. Looking for any signs of his ada.

" Ada" Legolas whispered into the dark. " Ada, I'm scared. Help me! Ada!"

Legolas spun around again. Staring his eyes in the darkness for anything. Sensing that some one was behind him Legolas started to run. He tried to ignore the pain shooting up his leg. Each step brought him closer to tears as the pain grew.

Thinking that something was chasing him Legolas sped up. He looked behind him to see what was behind him and tripped over a tree root. Legolas went face first into the mud. He lie there for a few minutes. After making sure that no one was behind him Legolas slowly started to get up tears rolling down his face.

* Ai! My foot, my foot! Ah, it hurts! Laure? Where is Laure? *

Forgetting about his foot for a moment Legolas looked around for his teddy bear. He couldn't find it. After a few minutes of searching in the mud Legolas gave up and tried to get to his feet. He collapsed in the mud as his ankle gave way.

* Well since I can't stand I'll just crawl. *

Now almost unable to feel his ankle since his body was so numb with cold {a/n- elflings are not as resisent to the cold as adults are} Legolas began to crawl along the forest floor.

Thranduil starred in shock at the guard that stood before him.

/ What did he say. Legolas can't be gone! He was asleep when I left him/

" What did you say?" Thranduil asked hoping that he had heard wrong

" Legolas is gone my lord. When we reached his room the door was open and he was now where in sight. We checked the bathroom, your room, playroom, and even your study. Prince Legolas is missing," the guard said for the third time to his king. We altered the castle guards and they are still looking for him inside, but I think that he may be outside."

Thranduil took a deep breath and said out loud to all the people waiting for orders " half of you go with Valandil and look for Beraid. The other half come with me and look for my son." Thranduil walked outside.

Valandil came up behind him and put his hand on his shoulder. ' Do not worry milord. I can assure you that these men while try they're hardest to find your son and Beraid."

" Thank you Valandil. I do not doubt your men, I wonder why they are missing and not knowing bothers me."

" Aye, that would drive any father up the wall." Valandil said. " We had better get going."

Thranduil only nodded. He started to walk towards the woods.

/ Please be all right Legolas. I cannot lose you too. You are my life. Please, please be all right. /
