Summary:

The whole clan have somehow managed to wreck his home... and enter his life. How can the elven lord knock some sense into the penneth's heads before his home turns upside down?

 

 

 

Elrond groaned. The elvish sun dial outside his balcony stated it was only two hours past midnight, yet the noise down the hallway had awoken him out of his fitful sleep. He had known this would happen one day, he knew that when he had agreed to watch the two something out of the ordinary would happen, even when he had taken Meahan into his home until Carinebeth came to get her was indeed a problem that he wished he could sort out.

 

"My children..." he muttered and stood out of his soft, fluffy elven bed. He put on his long robes and walked to the door. Swinging it open he entered the hallways.

 

"I'm going to murder you!!!!!"

 

Kerowyn.

 

Elrond couldn't mistake the voice of the young elleth who had been in his care since that faithless night.

 

"Not if you can't catch me yrch! Luna stop chasing Lindir!"

 

Elladan.

 

His eldest. Unfortunately he had known his twins had part of this somehow.

 

“Why should I?! The numskull deserves to die a cruel painful death!”

 

Luna.

 

The other girl he had taken in on the same night as Kerowyn. He was glad when he had taken them both in, but right now he only wished to silence this blasted commotion.

 

"NO! It was only an accident honest! Elenwe if you don't stop running I swear!"

 

Lindir.

 

Not his, but stayed around enough to be his. Never left his home, always was around, especially when Legolas came for a visit, to help on the 'pranks' it seemed.

 

"Accident? You call putting buckets of water over our doors an accident? I think not! Elrohir you are such a brat!"

 

Elenwe.

 

Also not one of his but stayed around a lot as well. She helped the girls with their 'pranks' on the boys, and lived with Luna in Luna’s cottage.

 

"I know. Thanks for enlightening me! Linwe!"

 

Elrohir.

 

His youngest twin. Unfortunately he was as bad as his brother, especially when put together.

 

"Who cares that your yelling my name! I'm trying to get the prince to give us those towels!"

 

Linwe.

 

Around, but not a constant threat to his home. She was learning the healing arts and for those few quite moments, he was grateful.

 

"Yeah, well you put honey on top of our doors yesterday! Meahan! Your a pain in the rear you know?"

 

Legolas.

 

The prince of Mirkwood. Seemed innocent, but not innocent enough. Never underestimate.

 

"You can't honestly blame us for that! Searyn are you insane?!"

 

Meahan.

 

The youngest of the bunch. Sweet innocent.. cute. Deceitful, very.

 

"Possibly! Why yes we can, because you did do it didn't you? Sanariam!"

 

Searyn.

 

Fortunately for him, he wasn't as bad when he was by himself... sometimes. Normally Searyn was the stoic general that Glorfindel trained him to be. But apparently he wasn’t on this night.

 

"Who cares what you say. You have no proof of our guiltiness. Oh Meahan! Saeryn's about to get you!"

 

Sanariam.

 

Another one who was 'almost his'. She was usually shy, guess something changed at night-time.

 

"I don't care who's catching up with me, I'm just running away from... all of you!"

 

"Hey everyone let's get Meahan!" Elladan screamed.

 

A loud cry was heard as Meahan ran down the hallway, the group of elves running after him. They rounded the corner one at a time. Although one elf seemed to be missing...

 

"ENOUGH!"

 

Everyone came to an abrupt halt and stared at the elven lord infront of them. "Dan, where's Meahan?" Kerowyn whispered.

 

"Over here."

 

Elladan gulped. "Hide Meahan." Everyone took a quick step to the left to hide the youngest elf of the group.

 

"When I call your name come over here." Elrond pointed to the ground infront of him. "Linwe, Saeryn, Sanariam, Elrohir, Luna, Legolas, Elenwe, Lindir, Kerowyn, Elladan, and Meahan."

 

Everyone walked over to the elven lord. He counted his 'children' but noticed he came up one short. "Eleven were called, but ten stands. Meahan?"

 

"She wasn't part of this ada, we sware!" Elladan replied defending his younger friend.

 

"Sure she wasn't, now move." Elrond motioned for his son to move.

 

Elladan sighed and moved out of the way, letting his ada close to the corner. "Meahan."

 

A giggle was heard from behind the corner. "Come out now Meahan."

 

Meahan came out, smiling hugely. Her face became a frown when she noticed the look of displeasure on Elrond's face. He turned and walked to the front of the long line and led them to his study.

 

 

"Please have a seat." Elrond said as they all filed into his study. He walked over to his desk and sat in the big fluffy chair behind it. His 'children' lined the walls, some in the chairs, and the four eldest stood against the wall at the far end of the room. "Why were we running down the halls at two in the morning?" he asked.

 

"It was Kerowyn and Luna's fault!"

 

"It was Elrohir and Elladan's fault!"

 

The four eldest stared at the younger in the room. Their shouts caused their faces to fall.

 

"Allright. It seems as if you four have some explaining to do." Elrond stared at Luna, his twins, and Kerowyn. "But I feel we all have some sort of blame in this, so we all will be punished."

 

The children moaned and Elrond gave them a sharp gaze which immeadiately shut them up. "The boys will be spending their next week in the stables, you will clean them, and the horses. No exscuses. The girls will be helping in the kitchens, for the next week. You will clean them, the dining rooms, and help cook as well. Your chores start tommorrow. You may be exscused to your bedrooms. "

 

They all arose and filed out of the room, the four eldest at the end of the line. "Except you four. Come back here."

 

Meahan smirked when the twins, Luna, and Kerowyn turned to go back into the study. "Ooo, Ker's getting in trouble!" she mocked.

 

"If you would not like to join us Meahan, I suggest you to leave." he said. Meahan hurriedly scurried out of the room and closed the door. Elrohir and Elladan sat in one of the red chairs, Luna and Kerowyn in the other.

 

"Since they said that you started this mess, and I have no doubt of it, you will be dealt a second hand of discipline."

 

Kerowyn and Luna glanced at eachother. Their pale faces each reflected fear of the wrath of the elven lord. Elladan and Elrohir's faces just showed anger and disappointment.

 

"You two girls, along with the week in the kitchen, will be spending the next three weeks cleaning the entire halls up and down. You will be doing this while you are not in the kitchens or in your studies, your days start at six every morning, no free time whatsoever is that understood?"

 

Luna and Kerowyn reluctantly nodded.

 

"And you my sons, will be spending the next three weeks starting tommorrow cleaning the gardens and feilds of Rivendell. Whatever is dirty you will clean it up and fix it. The same rules as the girls are given to you as well. Understood?"

 

The twins nodded and glanced at the girls. The next three weeks would be torture.

 

"Good, now go off to your bedrooms, I expect to see you dressed and at your positions in four hours."

 

They all stood and left the elven lord's study. Each with one thing on their mind as they went to their rooms. Revenge...

~~~~~

Luna tossed and turned that night. She knew she had to get up soon, but she was too angry to sleep. She hadn’t done anything! She was woken by Meahan, who claimed it was an emergency, next thing Luna knew, she was drenched in water and then honey.
