All for the Ones I Love

A/N: This was a quickie chapter, mostly done on a whim, I decided to go in a somewhat different direction then what I originally planned, but the story is still the same. I’ll be jumping between present time and the past.

Chapter 3: Back to the field

“Nooooo”

Glorfindel was brought beck to present time, when he heard Legolas cry out. He saw three blurs run past him

“I’m sorry Estel.” sobbed Elrond, “Know that I never wanted this to happen. I realize that now. I should never have uttered those words to you..” Elrond held his son tighter. The twins took their younger brother from him. They were just as devastated, though they had done nothing to hinder the relationship between their brother and sister they certainly never did anything to help them. The twins did nothing , but ignore their little brother wishing to pretend that he didn’t exist and nothing was happening. They to were feeling regret for what they had done. Elrohir, more out of habit and hope that his bother would be fine, checked his wounds and changed the bandages. Elladan took charge of their father comforting him as he cried into his older son’s bloody tunic.

Legolas watched from where Glorfindel was standing not wishing to disturb the despairing family. He had been the only one who approved of the relationship between his friends.

“How could this have happened?” he said to no one in particular

Glorfindel placed a comforting hand on the wood elf’s shoulder. “They didn’t know how to react and allowed their emotions govern them.”

Legolas turned to Glorfindel, “Their emotions?! Lord Glorfindel, how could they not see what they were doing to him.”

“They were blinded by their rage and the shock of the situation. They could think of nothing else.”

“That’s no excuse.” Legolas lowered his voice as he watched the family before him, “They didn’t see what it had done to him.” Glorfindel looked at Legolas, “When he came to me his spirit was all but shattered by this. He was dirty covered in mud and blood that was both his and others. He couldn’t handle it, his family even his mother were mad at him. Lord Elrond would no longer allow him to go home, Elladan threatened to kill him, and Elrohir did nothing but ignore him, and his mother. His Own Mother Glorfindel, tried to keep him from probably the only thing he truly wants.” Legolas let out a sigh, “He eventually left for the rangers, excepting only the most dangerous missions, ones that there was very little chance of survival.”

Glrofindel didn’t realize how much damage had been done. “he wanted to die?”

“Aye. He did.” said Legolas as tears ran down his face.
