Part 2

Three winters passed and Estel easily became part of Elrond's family. The lord of Rivendell more or less adopted the human boy as his own son. It had surprised everyone how quickly he had learned to speak elvish, and now spoke it as if it was his first language. Elladan and Elrohir have accepted Estel as their little brother, and they learned very quickly that the dark haired boy was very energetic and sometimes hard to keep up with; even for an elf.

Estel crept quietly into his brother's room, his small feet slapping on the hardwood floor as he stood near the bed his head not even peaking over the side. He climbed carefully up onto the bed and stared at his sleeping elven brother, and then a wicked grin appeared on his young face.

He stood up on the bed and began jumping up and down waking the older elf that lay in it. "Wake up Elladan, its wakey time not sleepy time! Come on get up!" Elladan sat up as he wiped the sleep from his eyes and looked for the source of his rude awakening.

He couldn't help the smile that played at his lips, as he set sight on his youngest brother still jumping on the bed. He scooped the young boy up into his arms and tickled him, as youthful laughter filled the air. Elladan set him back onto the unmade bed with the most serious look he could muster.

"Now Estel what has ada told you about waking Elrohir or I up?" Estel looked up at him with his puppy green eyes. "Not to unless it was an emergency." The five year old stated his baby accent filling his voice. "But Elladan thisis an emergency!" "And what might this emergency be?" He asked his arms crossing over his chest.

"Uh… I have to go potty!" a slight giggle escaped Elladan's lips as he looked down at the youth seated before him. "Estel you are five, surely you do not need me to use the potty." He said trying to catch the young boy off guard, but that wasn't so easy. "I can't reach the doorknob and I'm hungry!" Elladan shook his head and scooped his baby brother back up into his arms, leaving the room with the giggling boy.

In the dinning hall of the royal house, Estel ate the elven food his fathers cook prepared for him as Elladan sat and watched. Elrohir entered the room a smile noticeably sketched across his lips. "I see it was your turn to be awakened by Estel, muindor-nin." He said as he seated himself happily across from his twin brother.

"It has been my turn for the past three mornings. But you would not know why, would you?" Elladan asked accusingly, but Elrohir just projected his innocence. "Of course not!"

"Elrohir told me you liked being woken up early!" Estel unknowingly ratted out his older brother. "Did he now!" the older twin glared at the younger one, deciding he would get his revenge later!

"Estel I'm sure the other children are outside playing by now, why don't you go join them." The human smiled excitingly as he leapt from his chair and raced out the door, leaving his breakfast unfinished.

Outside Estel easily found his best friend Culgaer waiting for him. Culgaer was a good deal older then Estel but their minds where at the same level almost. "Estel the other elves are playing hunter, we better hurry if we are going to join them."

Estel's smile grew wide, he loved to play hunter. "Come on then, we're just wasting time standing her talking!" The human boy grabbed his elven friends hand as they ran together to find the other elves.

Finally they found them just starting to play their game. "May we join?" Culgaer asked properly. "Of course you may Culgaer, but not the human." "But why not, Estel is my friend!" "He is a human he does not belong in these lands." The slightly older elfling retorted. Estel watched the exchange eyes flexed with confusion, sure he has been teased for being human but he has never before been rejected.

"He can't even keep up with us during the games, he will never fit in here!" another elf retorted and the taunts went on, most were ones he was he was use to but the last taunt was the breaking point.

"He is Lord Elrond's son!" a random elfling spoke up trying to defend the human. "Adopted son, though why he did is something I will never understand." "It is because he felt sorry for him there is no other explanation."

"No, no you lie!" They all turned towards the sound surprised. They had forgotten the five year old was standing right near them.

"My father loves! He does, he does!" Estel said backing away from the group of elves he once thought as friends, tears forming in his eyes. Finally he turned and ran into the cover of the trees.

"Estel come back they didn't mean it!" Culgaer yelled out to his young friend, trying against hope to get him to come back.

Elvish translations-

Ada- daddy, dad

Muindor-nin- my brother (I put the wrong word for brother in my last story in this series hopefully this one is right. If anyone knows could you please tell me? Thank you.)
