Legolas gasped and tried to cower behind Elrond.
" Legolas, what, what are you doing?" Elrond asked as he tried to spot the toddlers sudden discomfort. He stopped looking when he saw that Vero was walking towards him and Legolas.
" Oh" Elrond said
When vero reached his captives he smirked and said, " I understand that you want to know why you have been brought here, am I right?" he asked
" Yes, why have you kidnapped us? What reason do you have? Why take children so young surly they have done nothing to you." Elrond said
" Well, you see normally I don't tell my captives why. And I don't see any reason in breaking that little tradition. But," he said
" But what?" Elrond asked cautiously
" But, Legolas knows why. Don't you, you little sorry excuse for a prince?" vero said as he dragged Legolas out from behind Elrond. " Go ahead you little brat, tell him!"
Legolas shook his head and started to shake
" I said to tell him! If you don't than there will be dire consequences!" vero hissed, " You know what will happen. Don't you? Remember? Remember what you did?"
" What? Legolas please tell me." Elrond said softly
When Legolas didn't speak vero threw him against Elrond and said, " I want to go eat but I'll be back to deal with you. Don't get to comfortable."
When vero walked away Elrond bent his head and talked softly to Legolas " Legolas, if you know something then I need to know. It may help me understand why we are here. Do you know something?"
Legolas shook his head as tears started to fall.
" Legolas, I know that you know something, please tell me. I need to know. It might help us get away from them," he said softly so that only Legolas could hear.
" You cant." Legolas said through his tears.
" I cant what?" Elrond asked puzzled
" Get away" Legolas replied.
" Why can't we get away? " Elrond asked.
*/ How would a toddler know that we cant get away? Has he seen these elves before? Are they the ones that threatened him? /*
" Legolas, have you seen these elves before?" Elrond asked gently. He didn't want for Legolas to erupt into tears and sobs and have more added to his punishment for not talking.
Legolas nodded his head.
" What happened?" Elrond said as he rubbed his forehead against Legolas's " tell me what happened."
Legolas choked back a sob and shook his head
" Yes, you have got to tell me, please?" Elrond pleaded
Legolas let out a small sob and started to mumble something that Elrond couldn't hear
" I can't hear you Legolas, speak up some, and try not to talk while you are crying." Elrond said as he leaned closer to the crying toddler in his lap in an effort to understand what he was saying.
" Gurth…" was all that Elrond could make out before another wave of tears flooded down Legolas's face. {Killed}
" Who got killed? Who died?" Elrond asked concerned at what Legolas might have saw in his young years.
" I killed amras," Legolas whispered.

I thought that the story needs another cliffy. I really tried to make it longer but I'm under a lot of stress right now and it is hard to concentrate on the story. My mom is getting married in the next few days and we will have a bunch of family flying out here and I haven't even meet some of them. After the wedding I'm going out with my dad in his semi so I don't know when I will have access to the Internet. I'll try to make at least one more update but I can't promise anything. Maybe i can send the chappies to my mom and she'll post them for me. Any way I'll try to finish the next chappie for ya'll.
