Thank you for the follow Slavania and deltawaves

Six months later Elrond was working on some papers and had his little girl with him when the twins walked in.

"Dan! Ro!" shouted Thanguriel as she was clapping her hands and laughing. The lord looked up at his sons and raised an eyebrow

"Is there something, ionnath?" asked the lord.

"No father, we were just wondering if we could watch our little sister?" asked Elrohir.

"Dan! Dan! Ro! Ro!" shouted Thanguriel again.

"Have you mist us little sister?" asked Elladan and Thanguriel clapped her hands. Elrond had to laugh at the antics of his daughter.

"Of course you can watch your little sister" said Elrond.

Elladan took his little sister from his father's arms and started making faces toward her. The twins walked outside toward their mothers' garden and sat down at the ground. They looked at each other and Elrohir took the ball they had taken with them earlier and started rolling it between themselves. Thanguriel looked at the ball and how her brothers were playing with it. She tried to grasp the ball when it rolled towards Elladan and he let her.

"Come Than, roll it back to me. You can do it" said Elrohir. She looked at him questioning and tried to roll it back but the ball stopped halfway. She started whimpering

"Come on sister dear, there is no problem. Shall we try again, mhh?" said Elladan as he took the ball and gave it to his sister. Thanguriel took the ball and tried again and this time she managed. She clapped her hands and started laughing.

In the woods a figure was watching the siblings and started grinning as he thought 'Now that the twins have their sister I can finally get my revenge. The only thing left to do is get everything ready so that I can get away with the elfling'

He started walking towards the stables to get his mare ready for a long journey away from Imladris and into the wild.

The twins and Thanguriel were playing with the ball for some time, before she became tired and when Orelon showed up

"My lords, your father asked to see you. Shall I bring your sister to your mother?" he said.

"Please do so mellon nin and please no more titles. Aren't we friends?" Said Elrohir.

"I'm sorry mellon, I don't know why that slipped. I will see that she gets to her mother without trouble." Orelon said while he thought 'come on, and leave'

"Alright mellon nin, all is forgiven." Elladan said as he gave Thanguriel to him and walked with his twin toward their fathers' office.

When they were out of hearing distance he said "Keep quit girl or else you will never see your family again"

Thanguriel started softly whimpering while they walked towards the wood but no one noticed that the little lady was distressed. He got to his horse and climbed on with Thanguriel in his arm. When he was comfortable sitting he gave his horse the command to run hard.

Meanwhile at Elrond's office:

Elrond was working on a paper when there was a knock on the door "enter" he said and the twins walked in.

"Adar, what is the problem? Why did you want to talk to us, have we done something?" asked Elladan.

"No ion nin, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't need to talk to you, why you think so" asked lord Elrond.

"Orelon said you wanted to talk to us, Adar" Elrohir said.

Now Elrond was frowning "where is your sister, ionnath"

"Orelon said he would take her to naneth" said Elrohir when there was a knock on the door and the lady of Imladris walked into the office.

"Elrond, do you know where Thanguriel is. It is time for her nap" Celebrain said.

"Didn't Orelon bring her to you?" Elladan said with worry evident in his voice.

"No I haven't seen him, does he have my little girl?" asked Celebrain.

Again there was a knock on the door and this time Glorfindel walked into the office

"Elrond one of the scouts has important news to tell you. We should go to him now, he is in the healing house and mortally injured" he said.

"I hope he has news about my daughter Glorfindel, because we don't know where she is after Orelon got her with what I believe was a list" the lord said. Now Glorfindel was concerned.

"Celebrain please stay here, while I find out if this news has something to do with our little girl" Elrond said to his wife.

As Elrond, the twins and Glorfindel were walking towards the healing house the anxiety was present for everyone who they passed. When they came at the door from the room in the healing house where the scout was lying, Elrond had to take a deep breath before entering. When they entered they were shocked by what they saw.

On the bed lay an elf whose face was ashen and sweaty, around his abdomen was a bloody bandage and there was still blood slipping through. He looked as if Mandos was already calling him. When Elrond approached the bed, the elf woke up and looked his lord desperately in the eye.

"My lord, you have to hear me out, it concerns your daughter" he said.

"Then tell me, mellon nin" Elrond said.

"I saw Orelon on his way away from Imladris with your infant daughter. I tried to ask him what he was doing, but he attacked me and told me that he would get his revenge for what your sons allowed to happen to his family. He said you would never see your daughter again. Please my lord, forgive me for failing you, I tried but I didn't manage" the scout was stammering as he started to have trouble with his breathing.

"You are not at fault, you did all you could do. Go now and rest in peace" Elrond said.

After that he motioned for everyone except the healers to leave the room to a nearby chamber.

"How could this happen and where did Orelon go to?" asked Elrond

"I will ride out and search for my daughter. You're free to join me, although I doubt that I had to tell you that"

"Of course we will help search for out sister and find out why Orelon is doing this" With that they all leave to prepare themselves for the journey to find Thanguriel.

As he was riding toward the border he saw in the corner of his eyes that the border guards had noticed him.

"Wait, where are you going with lady Thanguriel" called a scout as he caught up with them.

"Do not bother me or you will regret this!" snarled Orelon. The scout didn't think about leaving and was rewarded with a slash of a sword on his abdomen. The scout fell down and Orelon grinned at the panicked expression and crying of the elfling in his arms. He put his hand over her mouth until she quieted and gave his horse the command to run. After some time he came upon the wild and stopped. He dismounted and walked away deeper into the wild. As he put Thanguriel on the ground, she stretched her arms up and whimpered.

"Don't think about it, you are going to stay here and no one is going to find you here" said Orelon but right as he said that there was a bright light and she was gone. 'How could this happen' he thought 'well even better, now they will never find a trace of her again'.

Elrond and the search group, which consisted of Glorfindel, Elladan, Elrohir and some other warrior, still were tracking the path Orelon left behind and he was getting worried that something might have happened to his youngest. But after 3 hours of searching they came upon a horse and heard a whistle of an arrow being shot. They split and shot arrow into the tree where the other arrow came from.

"Well, well my lords, what a nice surprise do we have here? Are you all maybe looking for a little ellith who went missing" they heard from the trees.

"Come out and show yourself, coward or should I call you a traitor. We trusted you with our little sister and you abused that thrust" Elladan shouted and after he said that an ellon came down the trees without any weapons. The warrior circled around him and pushed him down on the ground as Glorfindel walked towards them and bound the traitors' wrist. Elrond dismounted and walked towards him

"Where is my daughter, you traitor! I hope she is alright or else you will feel sorry for what you have done" he said.

"You will never find her again, some slavers took her and they are already far away from our location" Orelon said and thought 'I hope you take this lie because that was my original plan'. After that the twins went searching in the near for any other clue, but they couldn't find any.

"Is there anything out here what could give us a clue as to where he took Thanguriel" Elrond asked.

"No, father, there is nothing here" Elladan said but then two groups of warriors showed up.

"Go in different directions and see if you can find anything about the locations of Thanguriel" Glorfindel said and watched as the two groups split up and went about their business. Glorfindel pulled Orelon up and put him on the horse that was watching everything unfold. He took the reins and pulled the horse towards his own. As he mounted and the party left they all missed the satisfied look on Orelon's face.

After 3 hours they came back to Imladris and saw Celebrain waiting on top of the stairs.

"Do you know where she is, Elrond?" she asked

"No I don't know where she is, I am so sorry meleth nin. Two parties of guards are still searching for any signs about Than's whereabouts" After saying that she collapsed.

Two days later the search parties returned without any good lead, the only found tracks that went deeper into the wilds but they couldn't see where it went to because of the rain that had fallen yesterday. Now everyone was gathered in the hall of fire to hear what would happen to Orelon.

"We are gathered here for the trial of Orelon. I believe that everyone knows what he is accused of?" Elrond said as he stood on the platform. The whole public nodded.

"Well now, what do you have to say about everything that happened three days ago?"

"Only that what happened was what was right, because your sons are the cause of the death of my family? I just got my revenge and I want to tell you this again: you will never see your daughter again" Orelon said.

"You know that you were badly outnumbered during the orc attack and that only you, my sons and three other warriors came out of the attack alive. You can't blame anyone for things that were out of their hands." Elrond said.

"But if that is your answer than there is no reason in talking about this. So your punishment is banishment from all elven communities for the rest of your life. You have 1 hour to leave Imladris and I never want to see you again" The whole hall agreed with the sentence while some thought that it was a way to low for what happened.

After the trial everyone went their own way, while Orelon was escorted by 4 warriors to see him out of Imladris as soon as possible. In the meantime Elrond and his family went to their private quarters. As they entered Celebrain almost tripped and they could see that she was crying

"Why? Why? Please Elrond you have to find her. Please she has to be starving"

"I wish we knew where to look meleth nin, but no one could find any trace of her whereabouts and the only thing we can do is hoping that she is somewhere safe and at peace" Elrond said as he guided her to a chair. The twins and Arwen hurried towards their parents and they all hugged each other.
