Author's note - I would first like to thank Lyn for catching some of my grammar mistakes. I hope I was able to get them all, because she had so many good ones to help me improve. I would have sent a private message, but she is an anonymous reviewer. I would also like her for her good constructive criticism. On other peoples stories, I have seen reviewers use negative criticism instead of constructive criticism. The difference is this - Simon from American Idol uses negative criticism, Dr. Phil uses constructive criticism.

Another anonymous reviewer who went by any asked what the twins and Legolas's ages are in the human age. Not to offend anyone, to me this question is actually confusing. I understand what is being asked, yet I don't think one should really compare elflings to human children age wise. Instead, they should be compared size wise. Legolas is about the size of a ten to thirteen year old. Elrohir and Elladan are the size of eight to ten year olds. Arwen is the size of a toddler.

You may say, wait a isn't Elrohir and Elladan older then Legolas or aren't all three the same age. Why did you just say that Legolas is older? In actuality, one can not determine that. For starters, Elrohir and Elladan were born in 130 of the third age. Arwen was born in 241 of the third age. I have found no date for Legolas's birth. In my fanfiction I have placed Legolas as being born right at the end of the second age. I have another piece of fanfiction called The Little One's are Hope. It is a precursor to this one, but not necessary to the plot of this story, except it does place the age of Legolas.

Chapter Fifteen - Sleep Walking

Legolas didn't know the name of the man. He also didn't know if he could trust him or not. Still lingering on his mind was thoughts of Curinir. He didn't understand why he didn't lie that wizard. He also figured all the Istari were like that. But then his thoughts drifted to the blue wizards. He hadn't sensed anything wrong with them, but Curinir was planning on getting rid of them. Were the Istari all supposed to be like Curinir? Was that why Curinir was going to punish the blue wizards by killing them? If so, he didn't wish to meet with the other two.

Before he could make a decision, he fell asleep, his eyes closed so unlike the elven way. His thoughts and mind were troubled. Suddenly he, sat up, still asleep. He stood up and walked over to the table, staring at it blankly. The two cats suddenly sneaked out of the other room. They looked at him funny like, but he didn't notice. In his sleepwalking state, he went and picked up the two cats, something he would not have done had he been awake. He then placed them in a huge open vase by the fire. He placed a book that was on a chair on top of it.

After he had done this in his sleep, Legolas went and opened the door to the house. He left and went outside, leaving the door wide open. His instincts told him where to go even though he was fast asleep.

The man woke the next morning, stretching and yawning. He then noticed the door to the house wide open and the elfing gone.

"Turtle, where are you? Tell me you didn't follow him. If you did, I shan't be able to find him to help him. There is no way he can find his way around himself."

"Meow! Meow!" The sound of two cats came from inside the vase. The man went and opened it.

"How did you two get in here? The elfing couldn't have possibly have put you in here. His fear was real. That is, unless ..." The man stopped short. He then nodded to his two cats. " We must find him before he hurts himself. Turtle, I trust your cat abilities. Midnight and I will follow."

Elrohir and Elladan were also now waking up. Each was covered in straw, making them look like scarecrows. The stood up and looked out of the back stall they had been in. It was then that they saw a sight that brought joy to their hearts.

"Elladan, it's Adar's horse. They are here!"

"Then we can find them in the lodgings,"

"Elladan, why didn't they notice us."

"It is more of the question why we didn't notice his horse when we came in. I guess we were to tired."

At this the two went up to the lodging's door and knocked. An elderly man opened the door.

"Bless me. You're two of the little ones that those elves are looking for. Come in, both of you. Where is your friend? I'll send word up to the elven Lords immediately." The two entered and watched as the man scrambled up the stairs.

All of the elves heard the man coming up the stairs. They were in the man's study as none would have been able to sleep.

"I am sorry to disturb you, but I bring good news. Two of the elflings have found you." At this, the two Lords and the Captain of the Guard wen down stairs.

"Elladan! Elrohir!"

"Ada!" The twins hugged him tightly.

"Little ones, where is Lord Thranduil's son? Is he not with you," The captain spoke up. At this the twins let go of their father and turned to Thranduil.

"We are sorry,"

"We lost him when we were running away from the humans,"

"Why did you run from them?" Thranduil raised an eyebrow.

"Well, one called us demons,"

"We were also afraid that they wished us harm,"

"An honest mistake." Elrond said, shaking his head at the fact that one word could do this to the elflings.

"I want you to stay with my Captain of the Guards. We are going to spread out and look for Legolas. Don't leave the house. Both nodded their heads.

It was about this time that Legolas awoke. He had a nightmare that he had been having every night since he had met Curinir. Yet, every morning, he couldn't remember the dream. Legolas sat up and then froze. He was no longer in that man's house. He was now on the roof of the highest building in Lake Town. How he got up there, he had no idea.
