Forbidden Love (A Legolas x Aragorn story)

Chapter 10

ELROND'S POV
I stare at the letter in my hand. They've gone - what now?

If Arwen finds out... well, I fear for both Aragorn and Legolas. I do not want to see my daughter or my stepson upset... but I know that I must support Aragorn and Legolas as they will need guidance.

But now - they've gone and I know that Arwen would be very very upset. But for now, I must consult Gandalf. He'll know what to do, hopefully we can find the letter writer and get Aragorn and Legolas back as all as possible.

"You wanted to see me, Elrond?" Gandalf asked, seating himself opposite me. In reply I merely pushed the letter across to him, a displeased expression upon my face.

Gandalf spent a moment reading the note and looked up. "Yes, I wrote this...  and your point is?"

(SHOCK HORROR HEHE)

My eyes widened but narrowed shortly after. I should have known. "This note is why Aragorn and Legolas have just left and why my daughter is about to lay all of her wrath upon us!"

"ADAAAAA!!" Arwen's shrill cry rang out about the building. I sighed and buried my face in my hands. "Well... er... I better go and... practise some spells! Yeah!" Gandalf said hurriedly before grinning cheekily at me and rushing out, while Arwen ran in to my study breathlessly.

"ADA! WHERE IS ARAGORN?!?" She practically yelled. I sighed. This would be a long morning. "Hush my child," I said smoothly, trying to channel the relaxation in my voice so she would calm down.

She took a deep breath before speaking again. "Ada... where is Aragorn? If he's with that... that... wood elf... I'll..."

I cut her off before she can say anymore. "He is safe at Lothlórien with Lady Galadriel. He asked me not to tell you why."

Her face grew from angry to innocent. "Please tell me Ada? Please?" she pleaded, putting on her puppy eyes. It did not work on me but I did not want her trying to murder Legolas in his sleep.

"Well... don't tell Aragorn I told you... but..." I lowered my head and my voice to a whisper. "He has gone to ask for a dress for the ball for you. From the finest Lothlórien silk." I lied, feeling awful but knowing that it was the right thing to do.

I watched as her face lit up and she smiled, almost greedily. "I won't tell him, Ada. Thank you for telling me!" She cried, before practically bouncing out of the room.

Legolas and Aragorn being together has shown me so many new sides to my daughter... I just hope she won't hate me if she does find out.

Soon after Arwen had left, there was another knock on the door and Gandalf returned. I glared at him. I knew he meant no harm, but he had caused Legolas and Aragorn to leave and I to have to lie to my own daughter.

"I am sorry, Elrond, for causing this trouble. I merely wanted them to be more careful! Who knows what rage Arwen would create if she found out?" He reasoned. I knew his intentions were good and true, but one question still remained in my mind.

"Why didn't you tell them it was from you?" I asked sternly.

"Well, I didn't think they would take it as dangerous you see, so... I don't even know." Gandalf replied, slumping down on a chair. "I am once again truly sorry for causing this."

"The most important thing for now is getting Aragorn back in time for the dance, or not at all. But if he is not back with a new dress for Arwen, I'm afraid we will have a very angry elf on our hands." Gandalf said thoughtfully.

"I take it that you were listening in then?" I smirked slightly. It was a very Gandalfish thing to do. "I hope you don't mind, my dear friend. For now, we must ride to Lothlórien, and with haste."
