" Is he asleep?" Elrond asked as he looked at the still form of Legolas in Beraid's arms.
" Almost" Beraid said as he continued to hum an old elvish lullaby that he had once sung to Thranduil when he was a little elfling not too much older than Legolas..
" good. He needs to sleep. He didn't sleep at all last night. He kept tossing and turning. Then crying out because of his back." Elrond said as he gently stroked Legolas's tangled hair.
" how long have you guys been here?" Beraid asked as he adjusted Legolas in his arms.
" this would make it the second day" Elrond replied.
Beraid nodded his head. " I can't remember anything, not even how many days I've been gone."
" you've been gone a couple days more than us so… three or four days." Elrond replied.
Beraid nodded his head once again.
"nienna came with you, right?" Elrond asked as he nodded in his daughter's direction " she's next to Arwen and Glorfindel"
Beraid nodded " I think so.. Yeah that's her"
" you don't remember anything about how you got here?" Elrond asked gently.
" no… but.." Beraid said as he thought hard about what Elrond had said. All he could remember was a blow to the head and then blackness.
" but what? What do you remember?" Elrond asked
Beraid bit his lip " I woke up once or twice… they were talking about going to the kings study to…leave a letter that ….Vero wrote''
" so they have contacted Thranduil" Elrond said
" I guess so" Beraid said " do you know why we are here?"
"no" Elrond lied.
*************************************************************************************
Elrond sighed as he laid his head back onto the stone wall that he sat against. Beraid had fallen asleep not too long ago which gave Elrond time to think. He didn't want to believe what Legolas had confided in him but.. It made perfect sense. Legolas is so shy because he saw his best friend die. He was told that if he made any more friends that they would die as well. And.. Legolas wasn't really shy… he was afraid. Afraid of getting someone else hurt. Especially his ada.
Elrond sighed once again. He didn't like lying to Beraid. He deserved the truth but Elrond wasn't willing to break his promise to Legolas. Legolas needed to know that Elrond was a person that he could trust, that he could tell anything to. Of course when they got back to Thranduil Elrond would push Legolas to tell him but until then Elrond would have to keep his mouth shut.
How could Legolas keep it a secret for so long? Maybe that's why he has such bad nightmares, because has told no one and its eating away at him… maybe something else happened that Legolas hasn't told Elrond.
But what did Vero have against Thranduil? Why would he do something like this? What did he want? Does he not like the way that Thranduil rules? Has Thranduil done something to him or his family?
Elrond sighed and closed his eyes. He would just have to wait till Legolas opened up to him again. And as far as the Vero thing went, Elrond would have to keep guessing till Vero or someone told him.
