Well...I'm back-Finally! I apologise for the wait I'm afraid my Plot Bunnies have decided to play hide and seek with me. As it turns out, I'm terrible at finding them...*sigh*

Anyway, I do hope you guys enjoy this chapter...It took me three hours to write! (Apparently, it's currently 1.20am...)

So, sit back, relax and enjoy-while I go and sleep.

Diclaimer: If I owned it, I would have made Elladan and Elrohir the heroes of the story.

Thranduil watched quietly as the twin Sons of Elrond quickly went to work, lighting several small fires around the group, before silently drawing their weapons. He silently cursed the large, dark moths that were attracted to the bright flames of the fires, before shaking his head and taking a deep breath. He could not allow the moths to distract him- if he did, he would soon become a Spider's supper. The proud King of Mirkwood glanced around, watching the Elven Warriors around him as they prepared for the moment the spiders finally attacked. He could hear several of them murmuring to themselves, most likely praying to the Valar for strength and courage. He turned to look at the young human beside him, who currently looked rather calm and collected.

"Have you ever faced the spiders before, Estel?" He asked quietly, his eyes turning to eye the dark trees above them.

"No, I have not." was his answer, "But my brother's have taught me how to fight them. I have no doubts that we shall survive this."

"Do not get your hopes up, Human-the odds are against us this night." One of the Elves directly behind them whispered, as his eyes darted quickly from tree to tree. Before Estel or Thranduil could reply, Elladan returned to their side.

"Be prepared. They have planned their attack. We shall be fighting for our very lives in just a few moments." He whispered to them, as he stretched his neck and shoulders. "Good luck, Hir Nin-may the Valar watch over you and protect you this night."

"And you as well, Son of Elrond..." Thranduil replied quietly, watching as Elrond's other son spoke softly to a more frightened looking warrior. "I pray the watch over us all."

And with those whispered words, the Spiders attacked.

Yawning, Celegon looked up from his paperwork as Belien quietly knocked on the open door of the study.

"Did I wake you?" She asked, smiling at him.

"No-But you may have rescued me from the most boring task in all of Middle Earth. Honestly, I did not understand until this moment, why the King was so close to insanity. Has the Prince awoken yet?" He asked, standing up and stretching, before heading over to her.

"You should not talk about the King that way-even if I agree. And yes, he has-It took several threats and half an hour or begging-more or less, but he is finally awake. Though, I am afraid that by the time you get to the Healing Ward to see him, he shall be unconscious once more. One of the Healers made me give him a wonderful, painkilling tea containing a few poppy seeds." She replied innocently, following him into the hall before quietly shutting the door.

"Did you say poppy seeds? Ai Valar, I do hope you realise that he is going to kill you once he is awake once more, and able to think properly! Do you not remember the last time you gave him poppy seeds? It did not end well." He reminded her, as they both headed down the hall. She smiled at him, before hooking her arm through his.

"Of course I know that-which is why I think that it is about time, that we travelled to Lorien once more, and visited your Mother and Father for a few months..."

Elladan cursed as he stabbed at one of the spiders, that was attempting to build a web between two of the trees. The Spider let out a squeal of pain, and leapt at the older twin. He quickly stepped to the side, and drove the sword into the spider's belly, thus ending Its miserable life. Glancing around, he quickly assessed the situation.

Several spiders currently lay dead or dying on the ground. There were several thick, white spider webs built around the Elves and human, who had so far managed to escape uninjured. At that moment, another spider leapt at him, and Elladan quickly stabbed at it, causing it to back away. Immediately, Thranduil spun around and stabbed his sword through the spider, killing it instantly. Elladan nodded his thanks, and was just about to attack one of the web-building spiders, when he heard his brother cry out. Spinning around, he saw Estel, pinned against a tree with his sword lying several centimetres out of his reach. He let out a cry of pain as the spider pinning him sank it's stinger into his leg. Elladan could see Elrohir, trying desperately to reach his human brother, but without success. Even as he watched, his Elven brother abandoned his sword and drew his bow, pulling out and releasing an arrow in the blink of an eye. The spider let out a squeal as the arrow smashed into the side of Its head, distracting It from the Human. The evil creature tried to pull Itself out of the conflict before It could be injured again-only to find Elladan's sword slashing towards its face. The older twin eyed Its dead body with disgust, before glancing over at his brother. Relief washed over him as he saw Elrohir drop the bow and draw his sword once more, rushing over to defend Estel.

Curses!

She hissed angrily, as she quickly climbed back up a large tree, after failing to kill her intended target-the Elven King, who had been able to avoid her as she leapt from the trees. It had been at that moment that she had decided they'd made a mistake. Now, as she watched, more and more of her allies fell to the blows dealt to them by the cursed Elves.

We should have attacked them immediately! We waited far too long, they were prepared for us!

She thought to herself, as she watched two of her comrades' take down one of the lighter haired Elves. She scanned the ground below, noticing that two more of the light haired Elves had fallen in the battle, along with her intended target-the human. But even as she watched, her brave ally, that had taken down said human was cruelly cut down by a cursed, Elven blade, an Elvish arrow imbedded deeply in his head. She scanned the Elves, looking for the wretched Elf that had dared to shoot her friend.

There he is!

She thought to herself, eying the Dark haired Elf, who was now kneeling beside the human, as a light haired elf guarded him.

Oh, he shall suffer dearly for that!

She hissed quietly to herself, quickly making her way through the trees, and to the one the human was currently leaning against. She ignored how the tree seemed to shy away from her, as if it was afraid. Instead, she concentrated on her prey below her, hungrily eying him as he quickly tended to the human. If she had been able to, she would have smirked-clearly, the elf was not paying attention to what was happening around him- otherwise he would have definitely noticed her by now. Silently and patiently, she sat where she was; ready to pounce on him at the opportune moment.

Thranduil muttered several curses to himself as he watched three more of the large spiders leap from the trees, before attacking the Elves.

"Valar-Where in the name of Eru are they all coming from?" He cried to the nearest Elf, who happened to be Beridhren.

"I do not know, Hir Nin, but I do hope they stop coming soon! I am not sure-"He paused to swing at one of the spiders. "I am not sure if we can keep this up for much longer! We are tiring, and their number seems to be increasing!"

"Mellon Nin, you are wrong! Their number is dropping by the very second. If we are able to keep this up, we shall be rid of them within half an hour, I am sure of it!" Elladan called over to them, spinning out of the way of an attacking spider.

"I hope you are correct, Elladan-for I do not think I shall be able to fight for much longer than that!" Thranduil replied, as he defended himself against yet another of the Spiders. As he did so, he heard the trees call out a warning.

Your friend is in danger! He is distracted, she will kill him!

They cried out, desperate to gain his attention. Quickly, the Elven King looked around, trying to spot who it was that was in danger. His eyes fell upon Elrohir, who was currently tending to Estel.

"Elladan! Your brother is in trouble!" He yelled to the Raven haired Warrior, as he attacked another spider.

Elladan quickly looked up, immediately spotting his twin and Human brother...

...And the extremely large and vicious looking spider, crouched in the tree directly above them. Even as he watched, the spider leapt from the tree, Its wicked eyes never leaving It's intended target.

"ELROHIR!"

Hehe, I realise that I am evil to Elrohir at the moment..=D Don't worry, I have Thranduil angst planned for the next chapter- and Legolas shall definiely be in it!

Legolas Thranduilion: Exactly! But apparently, my plot bunnies like to wait until I'm half asleep before sticking their heads out, therefore causing me to have even LESS sleep. *sigh* Haha, yes-being Human is definitely not always handy! *beat* Dance? yay! *starts dancing**takes coffee* =P
