Summery: Legolas and Aragorn meet an old friend, but it's not the happy reunion they expected.
Memories long-forgotten
Estel looked down at his adoptive brothers and smiled to himself. The twins lay side-by-side, almost impossible to tell between them. Both sets of eyes were closed, unusual for an elf, but then again they were recover from various injuries. They were returning to Rivendell after a hunting trip that had, as usual, taken a turn for the worse when they had run into a pack of wargs. Surprisingly, there weren't any life-threatening injuries but they all had received their fair share of cuts and bruises. Estel turned back towards the fire where Legolas was preparing the necessary herbs. Elia had fallen asleep only a few feet from him.
"It's not nice to leave without telling your brothers where you are going you know." The voice of his elder brother stopped him in his tracks.
"Deheno nin, Elladan." He turned to see to pairs of fixed on him.
"So, do you have a good reason for running off, or not?" Elrohir asked light-heartedly.
Estel stepped aside slightly, so they could see the sleeping elf.
"Elia!" Both attempted to get up but they were stopped when Estel placed his hands on their chests and pushed them back down again. Elladan looked puzzled up at him. "Estel, Mani naa ta?"
Estel sighed and sank back onto the ground. "Elia is injured. When we found her she had just escaped from a band of orcs. She had been tortured for nearly a week before she escaped"
"Why?" Elrohir's voice mirrored the concerned look on his twin's face. Estel shook his head.
"We do not know. We didn't question her further, she needs rest and healing."
"How bad?" Estel looked into the worried faces of his brothers and shrugged.
"I do not yet know." He looked over to where Elia slept and remembered the first time they had met.
A teenage Estel sped through the quite halls of Rivendell, closely pursued by the eldest of Elrond's sons, who was drenched from head to toe, looking not too happy at all. Close behind him, an elf that looked almost identical, except for that he was chuckling.
"Dan," he gasped between his chuckles, "is this really necessary?" All he received was a glare over the other elf's shoulder. "Oh come on. He only wet you a little bit!" At this he couldn't control himself and collapsed into fits of laughter.
Elladan however was gradually gaining on the young edan. As Estel turned the next corner, he noticed too late the person walking towards him. He let out a strangled cry before skidding into a rather surprised elf.
Elladan heard the cry of his younger brother and sped up, rounding the corner, and nearly running into the two sprawled people on the ground. Then he did a double take on the figure rising from the ground.
"'Lia?" He was interrupted as he heard his still sniggering brother round the corner. What he saw did nothing to help him stop. Elladan looked down to see a rather red-faced edan still on the floor.
"You'll have to excuse our little brother, he's rather...lively!" However, Elia was not focused on the boy, but on Elladan's dripping form.
"'Dan, why are you soaked?" Elladan rolled his eyes as he heard his twin behind him burst into yet more laughter.
"Estel here decided he would throw a bucket of water on me." For a moment Elia didn't say anything until she joined Elrohir in peels of laughter.
"You know, I haven't even met him yet, and I love him already!" she said between sniggers.
"Are you ready?" Estel looked across at his elder brother, not being able to hide a slight smile as he remembered that day long ago.
He nodded. And with that they set to work to save their friend's life.
