Forbidden Falls

Ch9

Legolas woke and turned in the
bed, noticed that Glorfindel was still asleep and moved closer. When the
seneschal finally focused his eyes, he found Legolas cuddling close and sighed
as he thought ‘Aye, were he a bit older…’ “Legolas?”

The prince stirred and smiled
as he looked at the golden warrior “You want be with me now?” Glorfindel shook
his head “Legolas not understand own request” The prince furrowed his brow “Nai
I do…I want Glorfindel show me love, no pain blood. You not hurt me…you not
healer”

The seneschal lifted the covers
and Legolas looked beneath and blinked “Legolas, no mater how gentle, there
still be pain blood” The prince let out a long sigh “I willing to try, saes…I
so lonely…want closeness with Glorfindel”

The golden warrior shook his
head “I to old for you, and to big. You need find younger elf, smaller body.
Perhaps another archer, or…” Legolas sat up straight “You help me find nice elf
not healer? I lonely…want be with someone”

Glorfindel laughed loudly “Nai,
I will see what I can do…now come, we get ready for morning meal” Legolas
sighed heavily “The two healers be there?” “Nai Legolas” The prince rolled his
eyes and began to slowly get dressed.

When they finally arrived at
morning meal, Elrond tiredly smiled “Good morning Glorfindel, Legolas” The
seneschal had noticed that over the past hundred years or so, from time to
time, Elrond would be overly tired, as though he received no sleep at all the
night before…and on occasion, he would have light redness on his wrists “And to
you Elrond…are you alright?”

Elrond nodded “Nai perfectly,
just a long night Findel, worry not” The seneschal gave him a friendly nod,
then turned to the prince and motioned for him to sit next to him. As he did,
Elladan took the seat on his other side and Legolas shifted nervously “What
want”

Elladan smiled “Want check your
hand” Legolas shook his head “Nay” “Saes? Let you hold blade if want” The
prince thought for a moment ‘Aye he persistent’ then sighed “Fine, give
blade”

The elder twin then placed a
long nicely wrapped package in his hands “What this?” Elladan smiled and tilted
his head “Gift” Legolas looked at the object in his hands “F…from who” “From me
to you”

The prince slowly unwrapped it
and blinked in shock when he saw the beautiful duel long blades. Elladan sat
back and folded his hands “You like?” Legolas narrowed his eyes and looked up
“Wh…what trick this”

Elladan looked at Glorfindel,
then back to the prince with confusion “No trick, gift” Legolas turned to the
seneschal and tilted his head “Not healer trick?” Glorfindel furrowed his brow
“What mean…we not understand, why you think trick”

Legolas took a long breath,
placed his gaze to the table and tried to explain the best he could, that when
he was very young, he had been searching for his brother’s cat.

~

He had walked into the healing
chamber, tugged on the healers robe and asked if he had seen the cat. The
prince explained that at first, Thalos seemed to be kind and said that he was
closing and locking the door in case the cat was in there, and that way, she
would not be able to escape. But after a short time of searching, the healer
said that since he was there, it would be a good time to get his first
checking.

He told him that he needed to
find his brothers cat, but Thalos insisted that his father, being the king,
could not run his realm properly if he was worried about his sons health, and
that he should do anything to help his father, it was his duty as a
prince and son.

The prince bit his lip and
continued quietly that, since he was having trouble getting up on the table,
Thalos picked him up, placed him on the table, laid him back, remove his
clothes, and began to touch him all over. When he asked why he was kissing him
down there…Thalos said that he was a healer and new what he was doing.

Legolas sighed when he relayed
that, after the healer was done licking and kissing him, he then went to the
cabinet, retrieved a honey stick, and gave it to him. Thalos then commented
that since he was such a good little elfling, and held sill better then most
full grown elves, that he deserved the sweet gift.

When Legolas looked back up, he
noticed that everyone was starring at him in shock, and Elladan had visible
tears rolling down his cheeks.

The prince looked over to
Glorfindel and tilted his head as the seneschal whipped his eyes and whispered
“Oh penneth, I am so sorry” Legolas furrowed his brow “Why, you not hurt
me”

Glorfindel sighed and shook his
head “I…I not realize it began when you were so very young” Legolas slowly
turned when he heard Elladan sniffle “Why you weep”

The elder twin moved a little
closer and cringed when Legolas leaned back “I weep because you were harmed so
horribly! I…I cannot fathom a healer being so…evil! And now you fear us all…I…”

Legolas held up his hand and
shook his head confused “To fast, slow down”

Elladan took a deep breath and
wiped his eyes “I sad for you. You fear all healers now. Legolas, we not all
bad…I not bad healer. I give you gift in friendship…you keep”

The prince swallowed hard when he realized that this
healer was crying because of what happened to him. Legolas bit his lip, slowly
reached out, lightly placed his hand on Elladan’s shoulder and whispered
“Han…hannon le for the gift healer Elladan”

Elrond made sure not to draw
attention to the prince actually touching Elladan and cleared his throat
“Prince Legolas, I wrote your Adar about us finding you. He should be here any
day now”

The elven lord then smiled when
Legolas blinked confused “Your Adar comes, soon” The prince blinked surprised,
“Adar? Here?” then quickly turned to Glorfindel “You say I not kinslayer right?
Right?”

The seneschal nodded “Correct,
not kinslaying, self defense from elfling” Legolas slowly looked over at Elladan
“You think me kinslayer?”

Elladan thought about how the
prince had just touched him comfortingly on the shoulder, and decided to take
the chance. The elder twin slowly reached out and gently placed his hand on
Legolas’s shoulder, then shook his head “Nay, I think you were hurt elfling
that stop bad healer…permanently. You not kinslayer”

Legolas blinked, and without
turning his head, he glanced at the hand on his shoulder. Elladan inwardly
smiled and sighed when the prince did not pull away.
