Chapter 1

The snow fell about the black-top road as the Fall days turn into cooling Winter days. The houses along the road covered in a light blanket of snow, the laughter of young children playing in the snow filled the air. Cars driving slowly down the road trying to get hope from the storm. Light muffled music played softly as a young girl walked down the street, her long brown hair stopping at her back swaying as she walked. A grey beanie covering the top of her head from the cold,her body covered in layered clothing. Humming softly as she walked down the road, listening to " Yuukei Yesterday". Swaying her hips side to side as she sang along softly to the beat of the song.

" Pa-pa-para-part of me that is squinting through the sunrays!"

" 'Wait a sec, before you set!' breathing a gulp of air I intake!"

" And the pa-pa-para-part of me that's beating takes a beating!"

"Yet the thrill is amazing even still!"

She smiled softly, her blue-green eyes shining brightly as she walked up the icy like walk way to her front door. Pulling out her key and unlocking the door,walking inside and shutting the door behind her as she called out.

" Mom...? Dad..? I'm home!" , she looked about as she took off her coat and fixed her black long sleeve shirt over her breasts and slightly big belly. As she heard no reply she walked into the kitchen and saw the note on the table. Upon looking at it she let out a sigh as it read:

'Tempy~

'Your Father and I are going on a trip to the Caribbean for the winter. Due to your school and us wanting alone time. You are staying home. We love you but you know how your father is with our anniversary. I'm really sorry for this my love.

Love, Mom'

Temperance laid down the note back where she picked it from, and slowly walked to the living-room. Plopping herself on the couch, her body relaxing laying in the cushions. Her hair surrounding her head like a pool, her hands slowly going through the strands relaxing eyes gazing upon the ceiling as she thought of what to do for now she was going to be alone for the month or two. She looked over at the coffee table in front of the couch and grabbed the book, 'The Hobbit'.

"Well," she said softly," at least I still can read..", she opened the leather book. Smiling slightly as she read the pages filled with adventure and danger, making her imagination grown and explore the possibilities. Reading Chapter 9: Barrels Out of Bond, she loved this chapter for this this where Oakenshield stands up the the Elven King Thranduil. Even though the King is a horrible and quite selfish elf, but he was doing what he thought was right for his people. She smiled slightly as she read on laughing softly at Thorin's comment to the King as he is then sent back to the cells.

After a few more pages, she came to a stop and closing the book and smiled. Setting the book back on the table and got up slowly, now singing the song of the Dwarves getting into the spirit of the Middle Earth.

" Far over the Misty Mountains cold'

"To dungeons deep and caverns old"

"We must away are break of day"

"To seek the pale enchanted gold-"

She laughed softly as she kept singing the turn, not knowing or thinking that anyone could or would hear her. Yawning softly as she walked up the stairs to her room retrieving clothing for her shower.

After a while relaxing in the hot stream of water, she walked out of the steaming room, her hair in a wet messy bun. As she wore a loose tank top and cut sweat shorts, showing off her legs to herself as she looked at the mirror and smiled slightly. Turning away from the mirror she ran and jumped onto her bed laughing softly, feeling herself sinking into the fabric. Closing her eyes she thought of the Hobbit again and smiled slightly to the thought of living there. To have someone like Bilbo with her and the others as well, going on the paraless adventures. Seeing everything, the Elf King and Smaug the Terrible, inside the Hold of Erebor. A sigh was released from her lips as she reopened her eyes to the soft light of her dimly lit room.

Silence filled the room till, a yawn escaped from her mouth. Looking at the clock, 11:51pm was the time, since there was no school tomorrow, staying up truly didn't bother her. She sniffed softly as she sat up slowly and walked to the window looking out into the night. Her eyes scanning the forest as the snow trickled down, when something in the darkness caught her eyes. An old man, in a white cloak standing there, with a staff, twisted at the top like a spiral and a blue crystal inside it. It looked like he was smiling at her, but yet it brought no fear or discomfort but..it was a warm smile. She backed away and grabbed her blue robe that stopped to her knees and ran outside as she tied it shut. Soon as she walked out she called unto him.

" Hey! Sir, come inside its not good to be out in the cold." she held onto her robe tightly as a sharp wind hit her, it felt like it was pushing her to the ground but she stood strong and started to him once more. She reached out her hand to him and called out again repeating herself. But all he did was smile, his blue eyes showing her kindness but yet was serious.

" Now child... I think you are now ready", he said softly to her, a his blue eyes locked on her eyes. Her body freezing in place from his gaze, unable to look away from his eyes as the wind began to grow more furious.

"Draug Er Ah~ ( Wolf One Ah)

Le Suilon (I greet you)

Alea (Behold!)

Henig~ (My Child)

It is now the time to return to the past..where you belong. To make a King see...there is no wrong in the light of the full moon~"

She looked at him in confusion and fear in her eyes, she tried to speak but no words could escape her lips. Closed her eyes and called out in in fear as her hair fell from it binding, her hand covering her face to stop the air from hitting her. She tried to look at him but all she saw was the white staff come to the ground as he called out in the strange words once more. A bright light illuminated from the crystal with pale blue glow, she watched it move from the crystal towards her. Temperance gasped and wrapped her arms around herself as the glow captured her and lifted her to the air. She looked at the old man one last time..before everything went to darkness.

Nothing...nothing is what Temperance felt in the darkness.

'W..what is going on..'

She thought as she saw nothing but darkness, but as soon as she thought she was dead..she felt something...it was air. Feeling the push of air on her body the motion of the air, how it felt against her..she finally realised she was FALLING! The last thing she hear was her own screams as she returned to darkness.

Meanwhile-

A gentle breeze blow through the trees of Mirkwood, the red leaves falling and swirling in the wind. The sun light shining through the gasps in the leaves, releasing the outside world to the creatures that dwell within. The Kingdom of the Elves standing in all it majesty, guards standing at its gates. Watching as the Elven prince walked by then with his bow and of his men behind him as they ran into the forest. Looking to his right he saw his closest friend, Nym, a elf younger than him by two years. He stood as tall as Legolas, they almost looked the same. But Nym's hair was dark brown while Legolas's was a white blonde, and then to his left was a she-elf named Tauriel. A beautiful woman with waist length red hair, stunning green eyes, but don't Legolas didn't let her looks for him(maybe once). Tauriel jumped into the vast trees, looking around for the damn spiders. She and the others had destroyed the nests again and again but they keep coming. As if they are looking for something and will never stop till they do.

'BOOM!'

The sound of the blast made Tauriel fall from the tree, but not before she saw the colorful ring in the sky. Landing on her feet she looked around her, Legolas and the others running to her.

" Tauriel! Are you alright!?", the prince called to her as he closed in on her, she nodded and looked up at him. SHe looked back at the colors in the sky, " Yes..I'm fine.." she looked at her hands and pulled out her blade slowly, " Look.." pointing her blade up to the tree...The Spiders..moving to the flash. Her eyes widened as she yelled, " We have to follow them! They was never like this before the flash.. Whatever it is.. we can't let them have it!", as soon as the words left her lips, she was gone. Legolas watched her and then his men, " You heard her! Come on!" he chased after the she-elf, his men not far behind him their bows and blades drawn and ready to fight as they chased to the river. Tauriel was the first of them to reach the river bend, she growled at the creatures charging at them but yet was ignored by some. She stopped and looked at the waters as she saw the girl, her brown hair floated and was drenched. Her clothing was strange and torn as the spider pulled her out of the water, making her moan softly in pain. The spiders backed away speaking in their tongue, Tauriel grinned as she tried to get over but as she moved the creatures turned to her fangs ready. She growled and charged at the beasts of dark, stabbing one in its head as Legolas and the other elves arrived to help her. She looked at him and grinned, knowing he would come. Legolas charging forward, his blade plunging into a spider as he jumped into the air. He grinned slightly as he landed on the back on the beast pushing the blade further into its head.

Tauriel glared slightly as she watched the spiders' fall one by one, she gazed to the water and looked at the last spider standing. It stood over the unconscious girl, it's front two legs in the air ready to fight them off to protect her. "You are mine..", she growled softly gripping her sword tightly in her hands, soon charging at him staring at hit with emotionless eyes as she jumped into the air. The spider let out a call and jumped at her, quickly she stabbed the disgusting creature in the chest listening to it call out in pain. Its legs curling up around the she-elf, as they landed on the ground with a thud. Legolas ran to her quickly laughing, " Nice job Tauriel." he said as he pulled the legs away from her body, helping her stand. She laughed at him and them looked back at the human girl, " Why was the spiders after her..?" she slowly walked to the girl kneeling next to her placing her hand on her cold cheek. The girl whined softly, her body trembling from the freezing air again her skin. Tauriel took of the girl's torn robe and quickly covered her with her cloak to hide her body from the men around them. Gently picking up her limp body, Legolas looked at the human and then at Tauriel, " Let's take her her back." he said to everyone calm, making Tauriel smile softly at him. Then they started back, Tauriel holding her tightly, " Don't worry young one...You are safe now.." and soon was whispering an elvish song in her ear to kept her from waking during the walk.

Shutting the door, Tauriel let out a soft sigh as she walked away from the door hoping that the healers could heal her. She pushed her hands through her hair in worry for the child, not noticing a fellow guard walking to her. " Tauriel." He called softly to her making her turn to him, " Y-Yes." she said calmly and gulped as he told her that Legolas and his father are waiting for her in the throne room. Taking in a breath she quickly ran down the great vast halls of the KIngdom, slowing herself as she drew closer to the Great Throne. She fixed her hair slightly as she slowly walked up the steps, seeing Legolas and the King Thranduil looking at her with their blue eyes. It felt as if the world was on her shoulders, as she met Thranduil's gaze quickly she looked down to her feet slightly as she walked to them.

"I thought I had asked for these nests destroyed…" He said calmly looking at her, his eyes giving her cold chills down her spine. " We did destroy the nests my Lord. But they keep returning from the north." she replied calmly looking up at him, as she felt his gaze harden. Slowly standing from his throne, his white cloak falling from his broad shoulders as he walked down to her, " And what is this whispering of finding a human in my land.". His words made the she-elf freeze in her tracks, before she could try to speak the Prince answered his father's question. "Yes, we did find a human girl. The spiders found her at the river, Tauriel was the first to act to save her." Legolas smiled softly at her, " The child is with our healers now, she is injured quite badly from the attack." looking back at his father with a cool gaze. Thranduil looked at his son and then at Tauriel, " All right then, I will see this child for myself." He walked by them slowly, Tauriel gasped, " But my lord, the healers said no one i-"-" Are you telling your King what he cannot do in his hold?" he glared at her making her look down, " No my lord." He turned away and continued on down the stairs. The she elf looked at Legolas and sighed softly, "Come on, we better follow." the prince nodded and followed right behind her and the King.

The smell of sweet jasmine filled the room, making her moan softly opening her emerald-blue eyes. Smiling slightly as she looked at the silk curtains and the sun, " Wow..It was all a crazy dream." she curled up to her side and looked around her room and to slowly her eyes widened. " Wait…" she sat up quickly and moaned loudly in pain and lifted the sheets and saw the bandages on her, " W...WHat happened!". Looking around her scared and gasped when she felt a hand on her shoulder, turning around she truly thought she was losing her mind at the woman holding her.

" Ma'am, you must not move." the healer elf said calmly, the others looking at them with calm eyes. Temperance was trembling, " Y..You're...You're an ELF!" she nearly shouted in shock, " No...No this isn't real..I'm still dreaming.." she took a deep breath. Closing her eyes and pinched herself and opened her eyes, and to her dismay she was still there. THe healer rubbed her back, " Its okay Henig, you are fine..you should be happy to survive those spiders.". Hearing this made her even more confused and afraid, " No..its all a dream!.." Temperance cried out and covered her eyes, her hair covering her face from there view as she quickly stood up and ran to the door.

The healers chased her calling for her to lay back down, but she was too scared to listen to them. Opening the door as started to run again, but her legs gave out she covered her face as she fell. Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around her catching her, she gulped as she heard everyone gasped suddenly.

"M..My Lord.." said the healers in unison, she looked up slowly as she saw the one who kept her from falling. His icy blue eyes looked down upon her in curiosity and slight irritation, but she could have sworn she could see worry in his gaze. "My~My, I don't think this is how you greet a king." he said calmly, Temperance gulped softly, " Y..Your Thranduil.." she eyes widened as he let out a soft chuckle. Thranduil slowly helped her up his arms still around the girl, he could feel her shaking in his grasp this made his feel upset. But what confused him is why did he care if she trembled, he looked into her eyes the gem eyes that slowly drew him in.

"T...this isn't real...I" she moaned softly as she felt herself drifting back into sleep into his arms. He looked at her and shook her, " Wake up.." he looked at the healers, " Take her back now!" he growled as they took her back into the room quickly, a small trail of blood from him to the room laid on the floor making his heart twist. " Get this cleaned. I want no one in that room understand!" he growled at Legolas and Tauriel making them jump at his sudden anger.

" Yes, my lord." They said in unison as Thranduil pushed by them heading back to the throne room, his blonde hair flowing behind him as he quickly disappeared. Tauriel looked at Legolas as confused at he was and looked at the door, " I wonder why he acted that way..". The prince shrugged at her, " I don't know." he said softly as he walked by her, " I'll be sure to have the guards at the door, Tauriel. You go get some rest, you look like you are going to fall over." he teased her as she glared at him. SHe sighed softly as she looked at the door again, " Your right, Legolas. Good night~" she smiled slightly and walked down the hall heading to her room thinking about that girl. ' I hope she is okay..' she thought as she closed her room door and laid on her bed slowly but surely falling asleep.
