The next day, Aragorn had decided to visit the Lord by himself first sometime later in the week. He finished the second dose of potion and this time round, he left the spoon in the kitchen's basin. Elladan and Elrohir had been observing Aragorn since last night. Now, they wanted to seize the chance to find out what Aragorn had been doing to Legolas all this while. As Aragorn left the kitchen, the twin brothers sneaked into the kitchen from the room. They retrieved the spoon from the basin and replaced it with a similar spoon.
" Aragorn must have stirred something with this spoon. I will send it for a lab test. " announced Elrohir. Elladan nodded in agreement. They heard footsteps and quickly hid behind the kitchen door. Aragorn had returned to the kitchen. Aragorn picked up the spoon and dropped it into his pocket.
" Luckily, no one found this spoon. " Aragorn heaved a sigh of relief. As Aragron made his way out of the kitchen, Elladan and Elrohir pushed the door away and walked out.
" Something must be wrong with this spoon. " confirmed Elladan. They stared at each other, pondering what was so suspicious about the spoon that would make Aragorn heave a sigh of relief.
That night, Elladan and Elrohir talked to their father while he was in the study room. Gimli and Aragorn had went out for some sightseeing with Lord Elrond's servants. Aragorn had decided not to drive again after that accident.
" Father, we think the reason why Legolas is sleeping more than usual might be because of Aragorn! " exclaimed Elladan.
" Aragorn? " Lord Elrond asked in disbelief. " How can it be? "
" It is true father. Aragorn has been adding something into Legolas's drink, causing him to sleep more than usual. We found him using a spoon and he even kept it in his pocket. We exchanged the spoon when he wasn't looking and sent it for lab test. " answered Elrohir.
" Are you sure of it? " Elrond was clearly still in doubt that Aragorn would do such a thing to Legolas. The twin brothers nodded in unison without any doubt. Lord Elrond took a deep breath and sank back into his chair, removing his glasses and thinking of the next step. He asked his sons to leave his study room and return to their rooms. Elrond would personally stay by Legolas's side and take care of him.
Lord Elrond pushed open Legolas's room, with his book in his hand. He decided to spend the night in Legolas's room, so that once Legolas woke up in the morning, he would get a chance to speak to Legolas. Legolas went to bed early as usual and the following day would be his first school day of the term. The young elf always looked forward to school days, to meet his friends and play.
When Legolas awoke in the morning, he was surprised to see Lord Elrond. Legolas wasn't enthusiastic about having to return to school and Elrond noticed his displeasure.
" Legolas, don't you look forward to going to school? " asked Elrond. Legolas shook his head and gave a frown. His whole mind had been messed up by all the dreams he had. He seldom woke up in the middle of his dreams, but it didn't mean that he stopped having flashbacks in his mind. The potion had affected him to the extent that even when he wasn't asleep, Legolas would hear voices and have flashbacks, as though he was hallucinating.
" Legolas, you are a mature elf. I want you to stay in your school hostel. It is very safe and you can be with your friends. Only during the weekends, then you return home to be with us. I have already planned all these for you and made the arrangements. " Lord Elrond ordered. He had indeed called up the school to make arrangements. Elrond wanted to minimise as much contact as possible between Legolas and Aragorn.
" But daddy, I want to be with Gimli and Aragorn and all of you... I don't care, I don't want to stay in the hostel, I don't want! " Legolas was throwing a tantrum, just like a 5 year old boy.
" No buts!" raged Lord Elrond. This time, he was truly annoyed and determined to force Legolas into the hostel. Legolas glared at him and made no other grumbling, knowing how fierce Lord Elrond could be. Legolas was sent to school in the early morning, before all the others awoke. When Aragorn woke up, he was shocked to see Legolas not in his room, and everything was neatly arranged. He ran down to the dining area, hoping to see Legolas. Only Lord Elrond and his twin sons were down having breakfast, while Gimli was still snoring away in his room.
" Where is Legolas? " asked Aragorn.
" Oh.. His school term started today. Did Father tell you that Legolas won't be coming back for the whole of the week? He would be staying in school from now on. " answered Elrohir.
This caused panic in Aragorn's mind. He wanted to bring Legolas to see the Lord too, but now he can't even find Legolas. They noticed Aragorn avoiding their gaze and staring down on the floor. Aragorn was even sweating profusely though the air conditioner was switched on.
" Aragorn are you okay? " interrogated Elladan. Aragorn seemed to ignore the question or he missed the question, as he walked back up the stairs, to his room. This time, the trio were sure something was wrong with Aragorn. They hoped that the lab results arrive soon.
Legolas was disturbed by the flashbacks and voices. He uttered nonsense all of a sudden during lesson, scaring teachers and his classmates. Legolas seemed disorientated and clumsy too, not knowing what he was doing. His shooting skills dropped to rock bottom. Even a first grader to beat him easily. Legolas had changed drastically from the last term. Almost everyone stayed away from him, thinking that Legolas was insane. The teachers discussed about the matter and decided to call Lord Elrond, to inform him. Lord Elrond told the teachers that he had sensed something was wrong, but hoped that the teachers would continue to help Legolas. Since Lord Elrond was their ruler, the teachers had to obey. Legolas was clueless too, as he looked dazed every single moment, lost in his own thoughts.
