Day Full of Surprises

Anea

I wake up but I don't not open my eyes. I feel warmth all around me, familiar warmth that makes me smile every time. I snuggle closer to the source, knowing it is Legolas. I feel the sun's light on my face but it's not as warm as Legolas' chest against my head. I finally open my eyes and look up to be greeted by Legolas' gazed eyes, staring off into nothing. I, out of instinct, smile at his familiar face and lay my head down again.

"Sleep well?" I heard his smooth relaxing voice sound from above.

I look up again and answer, "very well."

"Good, I'm glad to hear it." He then kissed me on the head and got up from my bed and stretched in his wrinkled suite. Then he walked over the the door and opened it turning back to me before he left, "get dressed breakfast will be soon, oh and dress like an elleth." What?! Why, are we having a fancy breakfast or something? Oh no! They're going to teach me table manners! I turn back to see that he is gone and huff under my breath.

I get up from my too comfortable bed that feels like I'm laying on a cloud and walk to over to my own bathroom and get cleaned up. After my hair is brushed and I took a shower in my own shower I opened my own closet, but heard a knock on my own door frame. I turn and see Tanna in the door with a all too big smile on her face.

"Ready to look like an elleth of Eryn Lasgalen?" She went into the closet and picked out a green long dress, and handed it to me. I looked familiar when finally I got it, "this looks like the green dress we bought from the store, but it looks a bit different.

"It's the same color and design but longer on the legs and long sleeved." She cleared up.

"Why?"

"Oh just put it on!" And shooed me into the bathroom.

I walk out with the dress long, going all the way to my feet, and the long sleeves going down to my wrist and it coming up to just below my neck. "Why am I wearing this?" I ask slouching.

"I have to wear that kind too!" She shot back gesturing to her white dress that looked similar to mine except it had a cream colored base that looked to be made of some kind of cloth with red hims but it still looked stunning on her.

She walked over to me and re-postured me, "Chin up, shoulders back, arms by side, relax your shoulders you're not in the army!" When she was done she led the way out of my room.

I followed but brought my questions with me, "where are we going?"

"To breakfast, you need to learn table manners." I knew it! I left it sadly at that and made our way to the kitchen where the men were already waiting for us.

"Good," Thranduil spoke rising, "you too look stunning. Come Rildir made..." What the hell am I going to be eating? I sat down in my normal spot next to Legolas, but Tanna was now next to me on my left. The food was presented and we began to ate. I held my fork properly and began to eat when I heard Tanna again, "An elleth doesn't go towards her food, the food is brought towards her. Keep your back straight and don't take such big bites." Oh you've got to be kidding me!

"Whyyy and I learning this!" I protest, nearly snapping my fork in half.

"For reasons! now eat!" Tanna snapped back.

"Go easy on the fork it did nothing wrong." Landion joked.

I began to eat the weird food when Thranduil asked, "how did you sleep last night?"

I swallowed my food so Tanna didn't throw another fit and replied, "good, very good."

"No bad dreams?" Suiadan asked from my far left. I turned to him and shook my head, "none."

"Because you had your lovey Leggy protect you." Landion said in a childish voice. There was movement from under the table by Legolas and Landion suddenly made a noise and stared at his little brother.

He made another move and Thranduil spoke with clenched teeth, "boys! Don't. You. Start!" I couldn't help but laugh and everyone looked at me like I was crazy.

"What's so funny?" Legolas asked.

"Nothing, just reminds me of a week ago." They all smiled now at the memories of what happened at this very table one week ago. Landion also seemed to remember because he almost started singing out the words, "Mr. Properforkman!"

They were about to have a battle when Tanna interrupted, "well we have a busy day ahead of us so why don't you four get ready and we'll do our hair and makeup."

"You mean you'll do my hair and makeup?" I asked looking at her.

"Yes that's what I meant!" She baffled, then grabbed my hand dragged me up the stairs to her room.

In her room it was very lovely, an actually nice color pink all around the room with blue and other girly colors. She sits me down in one of those like princess tables with three mirrors and gets to work on my hair, straightening it and putting it in some style. After she was done with that she did my makeup, which I wasn't overfond of...

"Don't blink!" She commands again, taking the tip of a napkin and cleaning my face of the smeared mascara.

"Why is there a weeping angel in front of me?!" I pretend to gasp, laughing when Tanna gave me a very annoyed look.

"Just keep your eye open." she gruff and starts again, this time I'm actually trying to keep my eye open. After what felt like two hours sitting in that fluffy chair she pronounces me done and we head back down.

I entered the living room with the boys waiting for us, they all had a silk shirt, but all were different colors and silk pants. Thranduil however was wearing some kind of long undershirt that looked very royalty. It was a silver that seemed to shimmer, and also wore a red sort of cape jacket thing. When they heard us approach they turned to me and went wide eyed for a moment. Thranduil finally spoke up, "You look stunning." I blushed a little bit and walked up to them.
"So now will you tell me where we're going?" I huff out, waiting for some magic elven thingy just to appear.

"Um... no." Suiadan "thought" for a moment before turning to me smiling.

"We will blindfold you until we arrive." Thranduil spoke motioning for Legolas to come with a piece of cloth, I tired to fight but Landion quickly had a hold of my arms as Legolas tied the cloth around me eyes making me see black.

When that was done I realized something, "so how exactly am I supposed to get to this place when I can't even see!"

"Simple," Legolas' voice was heard from behind me and in a flash I was swept off my feet being cradled like a baby in Legolas' arms, "I'll carry you. Don't worry I won't drop you." He added whispering into my ear. Then we started walking, or he started walking and I soon felt the summer heat on my body. It was there for a little bit before shadows covered it and I could smell trees, and nature all around me. We must be in the forest, but why? Through the minutes we were in there I could feel myself twisting and turning, completely losing my sense of direction.

Finally Legolas put me down and took off the blindfold only for me to see a bunch of stones ruins.

"So you brought me here to see a bunch of old rocks?" I lifted an eyebrow at Thranduil who chuckled and shook his head.

"Hold on." He whispered, then he took a couple of steps ahead of us and spoke elvish, "Edro." Then like magic the stones began to lift and come to an arch. Once they were put together the center changed so I could see trees that were giant and green with a stone pathway that led to a cave. Middle-Earth...

"We're taking you to Middle-Earth, your true home. We'll ride to Rivendell for the reunion with the Fellowship, and to remember the day Fellowship set out and destroyed the ring." I mouth dropped and my eyes widen seeing this. I'll finally be home, in Eryn Lasgalen, but I'm a thief. Would the Valar accept me here? Of course not Anea!

I took steps back shaking my head, "No, no I can't go the Valar won't accept me!" I saw everyone's faces sadden and grow darker, but Thranduil came over and gently took my hand, kneeling down and put his other hand on my cheek.

"Why would they not accept you?" His voice was silky smooth, blue eyes gentle and caring.

"I'm a thief remember! They don't want a sneaky thief in their lands!"

"That's why they brought you to me, so I could help you and, so you wouldn't have to thieve. And if the Valar still doesn't approve I don't care. I'm bringing you to your home." Then he stood still holding my hand he led me through the portal, instantly the color's changed and everything was bright and huge, the trees were gigantic with branches that could be used as walkways, the leaves still green but it looked like they were beginning to lose their color.

"Fall is almost here." Thranduil announced, admiring the trees. We continued on the pathway until we reached the cave, which turned out to be the castle. The doorway was huge and guards were positioned outside with bows in their left and and their right down by their side. When Thranduil and I approached they bowed and chanted, "My King." Thranduil gave a slight bow back and it triggered my light bulb again, "Wait you're the king!" He nodded with a "no duh" face and I continued, "and you adopted me, so that makes me..."

"The princess yes." He finished, I'm a princess! From a thief to a princess who knew!

"I better not have duties or I swear!" I looked at him cautiously but he only laughed, "don't worry a princess would never have duties, those are given to those three."

As he motioned with his head to his sons behind them and they choired together, "we heard that!" I laughed and we approached the throne that was made of wood with branches twisting all around it. A maiden appeared with a crown of some sort, with the same kind of leaves as the trees outside, still starting to change color. She placed it neatly on his head and she turned to me smiling. "This must be the new princess, I'm Hathla, head of the maids." I smiled and nodded as I gripped my hand around Thranduil's arm and yanked him down so he was earshot, "You told everyone about me!" I hissed.

"It wasn't me, it was Tanna." He grinned as I tuned to Tanna giving her the death glare.

"You're welcome!" She shouted, I calmed down only to have another question occur in my mind and I yank Thranduil down again, "Please tell me that everyone knows about Earth?"

"Yes, everyone in Middle-Earth has been to Earth at least once. You have nothing to fear." Suddenly I heard footsteps and turned to see a elleth with bright red wavy hair, silver tunic and brown pants, with a bow and quiver in the back. She studded forward with a smile on her lips, "I thought I heard the most annoying elf in all of Middle-Earth?"

"Really? I don't see Elrohir anywhere?" Landion joked looking around the palace. She rolled her eyes and caught notice of me, bowing her head she introduced herself, "I'm Tauriel head Captain of the scouting here. I've heard much about you Lady Anea." I smiled back and bowed my head when a concern went into my head, "I thought Suiadan was captain of the guard?"

"He's head of the patrolling guard and trainees the rookies on sword fighting. I take care of the scouting parties in case something happens plus, Legolas takes care of the hunting parties if necessary and trainees the rookies on archery, plus I help Suiadan and Legolas with training. Finally Landion, who does something..." She drifts off starring of Landion with utter confusion.

"I repair all mechanical things, and improve your weapons!" He reports like he has had to explain it before.

Legolas

"And where have you been?" Tauriel now looking at me placing her hands on her hips.

"Busy with Anea." I reply, she walked towards me and when she did reach me she didn't look me in the eye, instead she brushed off my tunic and cleaned it of specks, "You know you should really come home more often." She whispered so Anea can't hear her I suppose.

"Why don't you pass through the portal once in awhile." I advice whispering as well.

"You know that when all of you are gone I'm in charge of Eryn Lasgalen." She tells me, I lift her chin so I can see her chocolate eyes shimmer in the light. Now she sees my bright blue eyes and always falls for them.

"Just have Galion do it, he is after all Thranduil's adviser here." I give a small smile and slowly lean in, "You would like that wouldn't you." She replies leaning in as well until our lips meet, I kiss her passionately and she kisses back. I put my hands around her hips as she folds her arms around my neck. Valar I've missed her!

"Okay! Obviously I'm missing something!" Anea sounds, completely flabbergasted by our actions.

Landion decided to take the smart ass approach and reply, "Oh yeah they're together."

"Yeah got that smarty but for how long?!" She exploited his tone, as if it wasn't clear already.

"About a month or two after war of the ring. He was in a depression state and Thranduil sent me to cheer him up, one thing led to another..." Tauriel didn't need to say anymore, instead she turned back to me and went in for another kiss. I kissed back and dropped my hands lower to her perfect arse.

"Oh get a room you two!" Anea huffed, grossed out.

"Here, come with me I'll show you to your room." Hathla sounded from afar and started leaving, Tauriel broke apart and turned calling out to Anea, "We'll have to meet again, I can teach you how to use your daggers and use a bow." Um, I'm the best archer in all of Middle-Earth!

"I thought I would be teaching her." I whisper in her ear, speaking my mind. Anea leaves and Suiadan now comes up next to us bearing a question for Thranduil, "Ada what time will we be leaving tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow at first light, I want to get an early start to Rivendell." He ordered, his features seeming to adjust to the crown on his head.

"Are you going to tell Anea that?" I question realizing the flaw in his plan.

He only smiled however and shrugged, "she'll figure it out."

"Speaking of Anea, who is she going to ride with?" Landion now asking the question about tomorrow steps forward. Thranduil thinks for a moment, Then looking right at me he smiles.

"She will be riding with Legolas." Since when am I the go to elf?

"Why!" I protest, still unsure of why he would pick me to be her rider!

"Because Arod is used to having another rider on his back. Besides it won't be that much different, he had to carry Gimli around everywhere!" You still don't approve of Gimli don't you!

"Why doesn't she just ride with you and Beriadan?" I smirk, Anea would love to ride with Beriadan Thranduil's elk.

"Beriadan is only used for battles and nothing else!" Thranduil snaps giving me a death glare.

"You use him for everything!" Landion objects backing me up, "You ride him for everything! You'll certainly ride him to Rivendell!"

"She'll be riding with Legolas!" Thranduil nearly shouted before turning away to leave, we really pissed him off! Before he left however he stopped and without even turning around called out to Tauriel, "Tauriel don't you have a husband to attend to?" Damn you ada!

"Yes I do." She stated grabbing my tunic she walks off to our chambers. When we were in the hallway I gently grab her hand and pry it off of my tunic, then holding it I kiss her palm and bring her in close, "I've missed you." I whisper as I caress her back. She entwine her fingers around my neck and lean back so she can see my face.

We gaze at each other for a bit before finally she replies, "I missed you too." She lets go of my neck and holds my hand as we walk to our chambers, she leans her head on my shoulder even though she's just two inches shorter than me.

We reach my chambers and I open it letting her go in first, I walk inside my old chamber nearly forgetting about the rich forest smell from all of the times I've brought dirt and mud and leaves in here as an elfling and when I was older after training. I look at the familiar colors of forest green and rich yellow in the dark oak wood room. I close the door and when I turned around I was pinned to the door by Tauriel, passion in her eyes as she kisses me showing the hunger. I kiss back and bring my hands down to her back and slowly going down to her bum. She bring her hands up to my tunic and unties it, taking it off of me she feels my muscular arms and abs. She kisses me again this time with tongue, and return the kiss guide her to the bed. Falling onto the bed we get wrapped into each other. Moving her red hair away from her ear I whisper smoothly in it, "I love you."

She looks at me with those dark brown eyes, smirking now she rips off my pants and replies, "I love you too." She is my kind of elleth, fiery when needed, caring and loving, but passionate. Kissing again we enjoy each other in the bed while it lasts.

Anea

I look at my left ear again, then my right one, then my left one again. I have elf ears! I smile like a dumbass at the mirror at my elven ears, I bring my hand up and with my index figure I very gently touch it, but it feels like someone skinned my ear with a knife when I did! I recoiled and cup my ear, Hathla bringing in clothes saw this and commented, "Careful elven ears are very sensitive." What is this be a smart ass day!

"Yeah figured that out." I replied being really careful not to speak my mind.

"You've been looking at your ears for the past five minutes," Hathla added, "What do you expect them to turn back into human ears?"

"Well, yeah actually," I slump into the char. "This is the first time I've ever seen my true ears so I want to enjoy it while it lasts." She nods and continues to put my clothes away, I take a good look at her ears and see that they sort off curve inward before they point, and are quite long. Which is different than mine because they are smaller but are angled more upwards and are perfectly curved towards the point.

"Are all elf ears different?" I suddenly ask Hathla who seem taken back by the question before replying with her sweet smile, "Well, yes. They are sort of family trade marks and social status. My family and almost all servants to the King have the ears that are a bit longer but curve inwards before the point." Well that's a bit rude.

"That's a bit judge mental don't you think? If you have those ears you have to a servant of the kind." I come out this time.

"Not really, it's just common for us to have those types of ears."

"Well being a servant must be boring right?" I mean I wouldn't enjoy it one bit!

"Let me tell you a little secret," she whispers and leans a bit closer, "It might seem boring to you all but the servants are the eyes and ears of the whole kingdom. We get all the gossip because they don't think that a simple maid would pay attention." No way! That is perfect! It's like the homeless network back in England!

"So do you get like blackmail and stuff like that?" I ask fully interested in what kind of gossip they encounter.

"Oh I can't tell you how many times I've gotten dirt on Landion! I have enough to fill the whole palace!" I started roaring laughing at that, smiling uncontrollably.

"You'll have to tell me sometime!" I manage to say after I catch my breath.

Hathla controls her breathing too and nods, "maybe, now this is what you'll be wearing tomorrow." She points to a simple brown tunic with black breeches, "I don't think you'll want to be wearing a dress on a horse."

I smile and nod when another god damn questions pops into my head, "how long have you been a servant?"

"I started out when King Oropher was about to go to war in the first age. I've been serving King Thranduil ever since, training the new servants and all of the secrets." My god, that's a long time! I thought elves normally sail to the west by then!

"Why haven't to the west? I thought all elves would now that there's peace."

"Silvan elves are different than the Eldar ones, we are still the first born and first awakening, but our home is here, not Valinor. It is rare for our kind to sail, only out of grief and if they want to go on another 'adventure.'"

"But there had to be something to make you stay?"

Hathla's eyes grew dark at that, like her age came out but she did reply. "My son, about 120 years ago when the Mirkwood spiders came, he was a Mirkwood guard. And he was killed by a spider." I lost my words for a second, my throat tightening up.

I managed to get in my sentence, "and you didn't sail?"

She looked at me with her gentle sweet smile, and her old grey eyes. "No, because before he left he said to me, 'Naneth, if I am to die, don't sail. Never sail to the west, you are too good here in Greenwood. Train the other servants and tell them that all dark things pass, tell them the stories you told me when it was the great war in the first age.'" I'm going to cry! That's so sad, this world has been through so much shit and people just... push through it! "Now," She clapped her hands looking cheerful again. "It's a beautiful day out, you should enjoy it."

"Cool, I'll see if Tauriel is around." I reply getting up but Hathla giggled and stopped me, "I don't think she'll be available today."

"Why?" I dared to ask.

"Well I don't know if you saw her and Legolas in the throne room today..." Ew! Don't remind me!

"Yes, I don't think I'll be forgetting."

"Well I think she'll be spending some time with him in the bedroom of you catch my meaning." Oh by the Valar! I'm going to puke! I start coughing which turns into gagging as I just picture what they are doing, no don't you think about it! "You'll be with Mellimeldisiel today." Wow that's a mouthful! I look in the doorway and see a girl about my age with bright yellow hair and pale skin, with opal colored eyes. Her face all bright and happy as she wore a simple dress like Hathla.

"Yes madam?" I take a look at her ears and see that they are the same as Hathla's.

"I want you to give Lady Anea a tour of the kingdom. Anywhere she wants to go you show her."

"Of course madam. I'm Mellimeldisiel, follow me." Her voice was oddly perky, but I follow her out of the door and down the hallway, in sync with her footsteps. "Anything you wish to see I will show you, where do you want to start?"

"Thanks Melli- mel..." How do you say your name girl!

"Mellimeldisiel," she corrected. I'm not going to remember that! "Can I just call you Melli instead?" I gave up looking at her with weary eyes.

"Of course Lady Anea."

I stopped right there and held up a finger to her, "and don't Lady Anea, just Anea."

She seemed to be in shock for a moment before replying, "of course... Anea. Let's start with a tour around the palace." I nodded and followed her as she talked about how to get where and what leads to where, she would answer and questions I had the best she could, mostly I questioned the paintings. After a while she turned to me and didn't even looked me in the eye when she asked, "I'm sorry to intrude, but is it true you are a thief?" She nearly whispered the last word looking terrified like she was seeing an orc.

"Yes, well used to. I'm workin' on it."

"What was it like? Being a vigilant?" Damn, I don't think she's ever seen the outside of Greenwood!

"It's exciting! Adventurous, something new everyday! Keeps things interesting." I reply honestly, giving her a smile.

"I would never dream of doing anything like that," she sighed, almost sighed with relief. "I like staying in a cozy place where it's safe like Greenwood."

"So I take it you've never been outside of the borders?"

"I barely go into the woods, well deep into the woods." She replied with confidence in her words, like she was proud. You have got to be kidding me.

"We are exact opposites! I mean we are the same height but that's it! We're going to be best friends." I pat her shoulder and continue walking, but I see Landion down below us walking, "Landion!" I shout to him, he looks around for me before he finds me above.

"What?" he yells back using his annoyed tone.

"Where the hell are my claws?" I still shout, noticing some stares towards me.

He takes a long sigh and replies. "They are being touched up from tweaks, they will be put into your room shortly."

"Good." And I walk off with Melli again, after a we became real good friends when I notice a very nice necklace on her neck, "that's a pretty necklace." I comment and she puts her hand over it, looking at me like I'm planning something, "I'm not going to steal it. I just want to know how you got it?"

"Oh," she quickly took her hand off. "It was my mother's. She gave it to me before she sailed to the west." Whoa whoa whoa... what?!

"I thought Silvan elves don't sail to the west?"

"It's very uncommon, not impossible."

"But why would she leave you?"

"She was giving birth to my baby brother, something went wrong and... and he didn't make it. Our father then went crazy from grief, he blamed my mother for his death. He tried to kill us." Tears started forming in her eyes and she put a hand over her mouth.

"I'm so sorry." I say and bring her in for a hug, she accepted but didn't cry, not a tear. She let go and I just had to ask, "how did you handle him?"

"The guards had to put him down." She sniffled, not meeting my eyes. I let it go and we continued.

We went out into the nice bright sunlight and calming trees when I wondered something, "are you coming with us to Rivendell?"

"Oh no," She shook her head, "though I would dream of seeing city of Imladris, only certain people that the King chose can go." Well you're going! I don't care what Thranduil says you're coming with me! I then see another pathway into the palace as I look back, It's really dark and looks really cramp, "What's over there?"

I point to the passage and Melli answered. "We call it the servants passages, it's passages all throughout the palace for us to get through in and out very quickly, it's how we get to place to place in record time."

"Really? Lets go!" I head off but she yanks be by my wrist and gives me a stern look, "It's only to be used for the servants, are you a servant? No, your the princess!"

"When did you become ms bossy britches?" I cross my arms staring at her.

"When I knew more about Greenwood than you." She straightens up copying my gesture. We laughed and walked back to the palace, I got ready for dinner with her helping me and teaching me. I sat down my Thranduil in his giant dining room and we eat the most fanciest food I've ever seen! I of course was the only one who got water while everyone else got nice elven wine! I look over and see Thranduil enjoying himself quite nicely, sipping on wine and laughing. Now's a perfect time to ask him. "Ada?"

He looked a bit shock for a moment at me calling him ada but smiles and replies, "yes my dear?"

"Is it alright if I bring a friend with me to Rivendell?" I make sure to use to use my sweet voice.

He thinks for a moment before replying and taking another sip, "depends, who is it?"

"Her name is Melli, one of your servants and we're really good friends actually."

"Oh Mellimeldisiel yes, of course she can come with us, she'll keep you out of trouble." He added with a smirk, really. Just... really!

Thranduil

I'm glad she has made a friend already, I was a little worried she wouldn't make any.

"Thank you ada." She said gleeful, giving me a kiss on the cheek before leaving the dining room, she is really opening up to me. I look over and see Legolas and Tauriel making googly eyes at each other, oh young love. I can't help but smile looking at the too before I excuse myself so I can go check on Beriadan.

Anea

I open my chambers and see Melli there getting my things into a pack. "Good new!" I smile and walk up to giving her a small hug, "you're coming to Rivendell with me!" Her face is in utter shock, she is almost trembling either with excitement or fear I can't tell...

"Thank you Anea! Thank you so much!" She stops shaking and smiles, and hugs me to death! she finally lets go and I nearly shove her out of my room so she can get packed.

"Go get your things ready." She nods like a little kid, hair going everywhere and rushes off towards her chambers. I get my sleeping wear on and crawl into bed that is made of a cloud! I'm asleep instantly at the thought of me finally at home.

Well? Enjoy it? Did you laugh, I hope you did! Please leave a review on your thoughts and I'll keep working on this one and my other story which is called "Doctor's Girl" I'll have you guess on what it's about ;)

Naneth: Mother
