New Beginnings
Thranduil struggled against the drugs flowing through his system. He gazed blearly at the solider in front of him. He had't comprehended what he was saying.
"Milord. This one has a death sentence here. Shall we carry it out?" the elven solider repeated.
Thranduil's eyes widened as he finaly understood what the elf was saying. He saw Elrond on his knees, his hair wrapped around another elf's fist and a dagger ready at the half elfs throat.
"No! Do...not...hurt...him...or...any...that...came....with...him." Thranduil managed before the drugs pulled him under.
The elves immediatly released Elrond with apologies. Elrond smiled and took no offense, they were just doing their job. But he worried about Glorfindel. Word of Thranduil's decree would spread but would it spread in time? anteanted to seek out his commrade but his friend, the king, needed him now. Elrond pulled a chair next to the bed and sat waiting. The days toils soon caught up with him and he fell asleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~
The sun was beginning to wane when the elflings came running back. They had convinced Legolas to come swim with them in the lake. For the first time in days Legolas had a smile o his face. He was beginning to come out of his shell and play. Now that there were six of them they could play ball. With an even number they could play all sorts of games now. But as soon as Galadriel and Celebrian saw them they knew the kids had something big ontheir minds. Galadriel sat them all down at the table and waited for them to talk. Celebrian smothered a smile for she remembered that look. It had tricked her more often then not. Finaly Rumil got up the courage to say what was on their minds.
"Are our Ada's ok?" he whispered afraid of what they would say.
Galadriel realized that her sons thought of Celeborn as their dad and that all kids had theid ind in Mirkwood now.
"I believe that all you fathers are alright. Do not worry children all wil be well. Now eat for it is almost time for bed."
Celebrian lowered her eyes and hoped, prayed that Elrond was alright.
~*~*~*~*~*~*
The children lay in their beds awake and scared.
"What was it like when your parents died?" Legolas whispered to Haldir.
"I don't know. They said they'd be back before night but then the lord and lady came. They are our parents now. They 'dopted us." Haldir whispered trying not to cry.
"How did Orcs get you?" Elrohir was most interested in the Orc parts.
"I ran away from my new Ada and they grabbed me. It hurt." Haldir began to cry as he relived the terror.
Elladan slid out of his bed and crept over to Haldir. "It alright." he said as he hugged Haldir. Haldir sniffled and returned the embrace. Elladan smiled and returned to bed before he got caught.
"What's Mirkwood like?" Orophin rolled onto his stomach to peer at Legolas.
"It's darker then this forest but I like it. It is my home. I miss my ada and nana!" Legolas screwed his face up trying not to cry.
'How old is everybody?" Elladan asked suddenly trying to distract Legolas.
"I am 65, Orophin is 63, and Rumil is 60." Haldir awnsered for his brothers.
"64." Legolas whispered.
"We are 66." Elladan said for him and Elrohir.
They all smiled at each other for nhey hey realized that they were not alone. That they would never be alone again.
"I fel as if I just gained five brothers." Legolas said timidly drying his eyes.
Haldir sat up and smiled at him. "You did. We are all brothers now!"
Giggles puncuated his words followed by yawns as the day had been most exciting. Outside the door Galadriel and briabrian smiled at each other. The bond forged that night woould saty with the elflings forever. They would have each other till the end of Arda.
~*~*~*~*~*~*
Several elves pointed to where Elrond was taking care of their king. Celeborn and Glorfindel entered the tent and smiled at the sight. Elrond was sleeping in a chair and Thranduil was drooling on his pillow! Glorfindel and Celeborn moved Elrond to the spare cot and laid him down. The half elf didn't even stir. Glorfindel cleaned off Thranduil's mouth before he sat down. He jumped when he felt a hand on his shoulder. "You"You are weary. Go and rest my friend I will stay with them." Celeborn said.
"Nay I shall sleep here. Diola lle Celeborn." Glorfindel said as he made a pallet on the floor with a few old blankets. He lay down and was instantly asleep. Celeborn sat and watched over the elves.
