" now go to sleep my child I hope you have sweet dreams tonight. Elrond said as he left his daughter's bedroom. " good night ada I love you. Said Arwen as she grabbed her favorite toy from the toy box and climbed onto the bed and fell asleep, holding her favorite toy. But later in the evening around 9:00 PM. Little Arwen was tossing and turning in her bed " no please don't eat me big monster please don't eat me leave me alone please don't eat me!!! And in her nightmare, she was running away from a giant, ugly looking oca don't eat me please.

Are you OK then his little daughter wrapped her arms around her loving father and began to cry. " no Ada I had a nightmare about a scary oca and he was going to eat me he was chasing me in the woods. I got so scared, she said sobbing into her father's chest and holding onto his robe tightly. " Ada I'm scared Arwen said crying as her father held her and he said " baby girl my sweetheart. Is over your safe in my arms and I will protect you always. No please don't cry and calm down I'm going to be here tonight with you to make sure those mean ocas don't hurt my precious little girl .

Can I have one course you got there there there don't cry Papa is right here " shh don't cry my baby . Elrond spends the night comforting his daughter until he began to yawn and he was about to leave when his little girl climbed onto his chest because he was laying down on one side of the bed, and she finally fell asleep, and he smiled and said good night, my darling, I love you, but then she woke up again, and this time she was having the same nightmare again and Elrond woke up and said " Arwen is ok daddy is here with you and I won't leave your side. " Ada I'm really scared please make the nightmares go away I'm scared. " I'm gonna try my darling. It's OK I know you're scared come here. Elrond said holding his precious little treasure in his arms. He stayed with her all night long until finally she fell asleep, holding her favorite teddy bear. And turned over and saw her father sleeping next to her and she said " sweet dreams Ada I love you so much Arewen said gently giving her Ada a kiss on his cheek. The next morning both father and daughter were outside in the front yard of the palace. " arwen my sweetheart ada it's going back inside to do some work you stay outside and play but be careful OK oh and darling yes, father " stay safe and stay where I can see you. OK don't wander off too far I won't I promise. " that's my girl now go and play. Elrond said as he went back into the palace to do some work, and Arwen went off to play and she was running around in the backyard with her favorite dolly that she was holding in her hands and then she saw a big tree. It was so big, in fact that it was so tall, and she decided to climb it and she then she ran to the tree, and began to climb all the way up to the tippy top, and when she finally got onto the tree and onto the top, she said " wow look at the view from all the way up here but then she dropped her favorite toy and she was going to try to climb down but when she did, she lost her balance and was holding onto a branch. And back in the palace. Lindir could sense something was wrong and he ran outside and saw the little princess dangling from a branch and he ran back into the palace and said " lord Elrond!!!! Your daughter, is dangling from a branch from a very high tree " what not my daughter!!! he said running outside, and he looked everywhere, and finally saw her dangling from the branch " ada !!! Help me !! But it was too late the branch broke, but her father caught her in his arms. " oh my Lord Arwen why would you do something so dangerous I could've lost you if I didn't get here on time why did you climb up a tree he said, but his daughter just stayed quiet and he said sweetness, what's wrong ? " because I wanted to climb the tree because I thought it was going to be fun. Arwen my love putting yourself in danger it's not safe to do. Is very dangerous. You could've really hurt yourself if I didn't catch you here you dropped your Dolly thank you, ada. Then his daughter said I'm sorry daddy I won't do it again all right that's good girl now " let me check if you have any cuts your bruises OK then her ada began to check for cuts and bruises but he didn't see any and he said oh you're fine but please don't scare me like that. OK I don't want to lose you my darling because I love you very much. OK father, I understand. I'm sorry it's OK my darling and let's put it behind us and get you in the bath. As Elrond gave his baby girl a bath she began to get sleepy and when her bath was over, her daddy warped
a nice towel around her and got ready for bed and he said sweet dreams, my darling." Good night ada I love you too the next night Elrond was sleeping in his bed when his little girl tiptoed into the room and she climbed onto the bed, and
she said, in a quiet voice " Ada are you awake? " no sweetheart I'm sleeping why are you awake so early he says getting up from bed and he said go back to sleep darling. It's early it's 3 o'clock in the morning go back to bed but I don't want to. I want to stay with you. Ada because I love you. " yes darling I love you too but I'm tired go back to bed. I have work to do in the morning. I'm tired and go back to bed. "No I don't want to. I want to stay with you. " shh you're gonna wake up Lindir. " but Ada I want to stay with you I don't wanna go back to bed. " no Ada I don't wanna go back to bed. I want to stay up all night and sleep with my Ada please. At this point her father was losing his patience, and he crossed his arms and said. " Arewen go back to bed he said, picking her up and taking her to her room and he said stay here I don't want you getting up. Do you understand me? " but Ada I need to stay with you I can't sleep well I don't care go back to bed I had to go to sleep so it's 3 o'clock in the morning and I'm tired and you're a little elfling you need your sleep go to bed and stay there do you understand me " ye. ..Ss Ada all right my darling do you promise me stay in bed. But then when her father went back to bed, he saw her in his bed and he said darling I thought I told you to stay in bed why are you not listening to me go back to bed right now or I'm going to get really mad I don't want to father I want to stay with you, but why can you tell me because I love you so much and I don't want nothing bad to happen to you. Oh darling look nothing bad is gonna happen to me OK and I know that you love me but I need my personal space I can't have you on top of me all the time, so are you saying that you don't love me know baby I love you very much but sometimes Ada needs time for himself, but doesn't mean that he doesn't love you do you understand yes papa I'm sorry I'm gonna go back to sleep that's my girl what father yes the reason I couldn't sleep was because I can't find my dolly. Oh, why didn't you just say so I will help you find it. " I found it sweetie here you go thank you daddy you're welcome now are you ready to sleep one more thing and with that my sweetness I give you a kiss oh course . When his little girl finally fell asleep, he left the room He turned off the light said night, my precious. I love you very much. But one day his daughter woke up and she was really itchy and he went to go check on her he said. " Arwen my daughter what's wrong are you OK? Why are you so itchy I don't know let me see oh, you have the chickenpox what am I gonna turn into a chicken? " no sweat you're not going to turn into a chicken darling it's OK well it's not OK because it's itchy. Don't worry I'm going to take care of you OK first of all don't scratch because if you scratch them, the spots will get infected and that's not good OK, don't scratch them sweetheart says her father as they waited in the heelers Doctors office
" lord Elrond you're daughter definitely has chickenpox is a serious doctor is she gonna be OK? " nothing to worry about. It's very common. Just make sure she doesn't scratch and you put lotion on her face that will calm down the itch and make sure she doesn't have friends over because it's very contagious. " alright thank you doctor come on darling let's go home. Back as home Lindir was busy in the kitchen when he saw Elrond running into the house, and he said my Lord, what's wrong something all right oh yes, it's just my little one has the chickenpox. Oh don't worry I'll take care of her. No you don't have to you could have a day off? I don't mind taking care of the precious darling you can work and I will take care of her please all right but if you need me I'll be working OK. " Arwen my sweetness Lindir it's going to be taking care of you while I'm working OK but what about you Ada well, it was his idea. He volunteered so so you're gonna be a good girl for him and listen to him and he will take care of you and when you feel better, I will take you to the park . Later on in the day Lindir was busy taking care of Arwen when she suddenly threw up all over his robe " I'm sorry Lindir I didn't mean to throw up on you? Oh it's OK darling come on I will give you a bath. While Lindir gave Arwen a bath he said how do you feel now a little bit better but still if she don't scratch Darling it will hurt more if you do that stop but it itches so much she said scratching more and more " Arwen sweetie pie don't scratch OK here let me put the cream on your face so it can heal the itching there is that better? Yes, thank you. You're welcome, darling . Later on in the evening Elrond wad finally done working and he went to check on Arwen and he found her sleeping peacefully in her bed and she woke up when she saw her Ada looking at her. Hi daddy hi sweetie how are you feel a little better but I'm still itchy. Oh darling it's OK. Don't get too close you'll get sick. Don't worry sweetie. I had them when I was little. I can catch them again oh but ada can I ask you something of course you can sweetie can you read me a story of course I will after her father read the story. She finally fell asleep, holding her favorite toy. In the next few days she started to get better one finally her chickenpox her all gone. " Arwen my precious treasure. Good morning good morning papa how do you feel this morning? I feel so much better daddy I don't have any more chicken pox that's wonderful Darling he said, picking her up and giving her a nice hug and kiss. " Ada yes Arwen what is
my precious little baby . " you said when I get better we can go to the park remember oh yes I remember that but I'm sorry to tell you this darling but it's raining out there. We can't go to the park today but you promised I know I promised darling but I can't stop the rain it's not fair I know it's not fair right now sweetie but we can do something fun inside but I want to play outside I wanna go to the park she said pouting in Crossing her arms and her daddy said I know you're frustrated darling but we can do something fun inside we can bake cookies we can read a story together again or you could have a friend over what would like to do darling? I don't want to do anything I want to go to the park baby I know you're frustrated, but I can't take you to the park you're gonna get sick if you go out in the rain and you already had the chickenpox, you don't wanna get sick again and you know what I am frustrated right now. Later that day Legolas was playing outside, when Arwen. Saw him in the rain. She ran outside and said hey what are you doing here My father is visiting your father, hey Legolas said Arwen yes what is it? Would you like to go to the park? Of course let's go and both little elves. Jumped over the wall and ran all the way to the park and they were having so much fun and the rain storm got harder and harder to the point where they couldn't find their way home and both were lost and cold and shivering. " I'm cold me too I wanna go they both said shivering and sneezing. And back at Rivendell Thranduil was so busy talking to Elrond that he totally forgot to go check on his baby, so when he did, he couldn't find him anywhere and he said lord Elrond our children are missing " what oh no, my baby is gone my precious darling. She might be cold and hungry and shivering. I told her not to go anywhere where without my permission, maybe you're little brat told her to go somewhere with him excuse me my Legolas is not a spoiled brat. He's a good boy but right now he's missing maybe because of your little precious little angel or whatever you call her well we got to go find them because I am worried well me too they both said, and then they went searching for their children. " Arwen my little angel where are you " Legolas my little one where could you be they both calling out for their children and they were about to give up and go back home. Their children found them and ran to both of their fathers. " Legolas my son there you are you're soaking wet come on let's go home and get you on some clean clothes. Wait father am I in trouble yes you are why do you sneak away because I wanted to go play in the rain well, baby it's not safe to play in the rain but when Elrond saw his daughter soaking wet he got really mad and cross his arms and said I'm very disappointed in you. Why didn't you listen to me " I'm sorry Ada please don't yell at me. I am very mad at you let's go home now. Thranduil looked over at Legolas and said " Legolas green leaf why did you sneak away ? I could've lost you but father it's just rain. I don't want to hear it let's go but but let's go away. I said he said grab him by the hand both fathers got home with their children they were really mad at both of them, and they said" children we do not run away and especially we do to sneak off if that understood yes Ada Arewen said yes Ada Legolas said as his father was preparing to go home, and he said " good bye Elrond I'm sorry for the trouble that my son did I'm back at Mirkwood Thranduil was not very happy with his little leaf. He was very disappointed, and he said." Legolas I'm very surprised at you. Why did you sneak off because it's fun father no it's not son it's very dangerous. You could've hurt yourself or worse. You could've gotten kidnapped or something. I'm very very disappointed in you. Go to your room but go to your room I said no Legolas said approaching his father, and he said I am not going to my room. I didn't do anything wrong. Yes, you did son you snuck away. And that's very dangerous. I could've lost you go to your room now and then I will have a talk with you. I don't want to go to my room. Well I am your father go to your room right now, but before his father can say anything else his son walked towards him and hit him for the very first time you don't tell me what to do. Legolas said going upstairs to his room and back in Rivendell Elrond was having the same talk with his little girl and she said I'm sorry, father I won't do it again I promise well you better promise because if you don't, I will take away your toy " no don't ada I promise . Alright my baby I forgive you I don't do it again. OK all right daddy I'm sorry it's OK. Let's dry you off though. Because I don't want you to get sick OK. But back at home in Mirkwood Legolas was so angry at his father, that he started throwing things in his room, and his father walked into the room and said what is going on in here I am mad, he said, crossing his arms and hitting his father " Legolas stop hitting me we do not hit our father I don't care Legolas says as he continues to his father and at that point. Thranduil decided to take brownie away from Legolas you're not getting this back. Until you apologize to me father he's mine. I know he's yours but you're misbehaving and that is not polite that's not how a Prince behaves now tell me what is wrong maybe I will give you your toy back if you tell me well I'm angry because you always tell me what to do and I don't like it well, my son rules are there to keep you safe if I didn't tell you what is right and what's wrong then I want to be your father. I love you very much legless and I don't want to lose you. I lost your mother in the war and I don't want to lose you too and I don't know why you're hitting me either. Why are you doing that because I wanna take out my anger. well son you don't take out your anger on someone you love. Oh I didn't know that. I'm sorry father it's OK but from now on if I tell you to do something I need you to listen I don't want you wandering off anymore especially if someone tells you to do something that you know it's dangerous and you don't agree with them and just go do you understand me it's very dangerous to go by yourself somewhere without your parents permission do you understand me yes, father I'm sorry I won't do it again I promise please don't ground me. I won't Legolas because you're a big boy and you know better, right yes father I'm sorry it's OK you're really wet. Let's get you into a nice warm bath. OK wait can I have brownie back? Yes, here you go and then his father gave him a bath and said now I want you to be my good little elfling. Can you do that? Yes papa all right that's a good boy but since you didn't behave I don't want you going outside for about two weeks to play in the woods do you understand me, yes papa but you can go outside and play in the yard OK all right he said, hugging his father I'm very sorry Ada I won't to sneak away anymore I promise that's a good little leaf . I love you my sweet boy. Said his father, taking him to the bathroom and filling up the tub with steam warm water then thranduil took Legolas's clothes off and picked him up and gently lower him into the tub. Then thranduil Squeezed
shampoo onto his hand and Scrubbed it into his son's hair and then Took the showerhead and the rest the shampoo out and then took some conditioner and rubbed it into his hair, and then I took some body soap and rubbed it all over his body and took the showerhead again and washed his son until he was completely clean. Then his father took a towel, and then he drained the bathwater, and he took his son out of the tub and said there is a clean little prince. " Ada I'm sorry I snuck away from you. It's OK my precious darling. I'm just glad that you're safe now. Then his dad placed his wet clothes in the washing machine. Then, after a long bath, his father gave him some soup . Then he brushed his sons hair and put it in braids and he said " Legolas I hope you learned your lesson. We do not run away from our father because it's very very dangerous. Don't ever do that again. Do you understand me and don't sneak away with your friends either I don't want to lose you Legolas because I love you with all my heart and I don't want to lose you said his father crying . " Ada why are you crying? Because I don't want to lose you, my son I almost lost you before and I don't wanna go through that again please stay here with me. I don't want to lose you. I love you so much please leave me alone. " Ada please don't cry I will stay here with you I promise I will never ever tried to run a way again I promise. He said, drawing the tears from his father's eyes, and he said " shh my Ada please don't cry because I will cry too. " shhh Ada don't be sad here I got you a flower thank you my son and by the way that soup that I ate was really good. I love you father please don't be sad OK my son I love you too.
