Legolas likes Tauriel, but she is afraid to like him back because he is the prince and she is just a maiden. so she proceeds to treat him like trash, to get him to stop loving her. Will love prevail or will Legolas have to spend the rest of his life wishing for her to love him back.
i own none of the characters this story is purely fictional and does not follow the LOTR or Hobbit Story lines.
"He likes you!" one of the girls Tauriel was teaching archery whispered to her.
Tauriel glanced in Legolas's direction Legolas glanced up and smiled at her then turned back to helping his students.
"See what i mean?' the girl said.
"He's just being nice. " Taureil said defensively. "he's the prince, he can not like a civilian elf maiden, his father wants him to marry a princess." Tauriel said a sad look on her face. She walked over to help another student with his aim. :Take your time, think of your target as a shy deer you have to be slow and quiet or else you will scare it away." she said showing the student her slow graceful movements.
"unless you are fighting orcs and you have one second to kill it before others attack."Legolas said running up, spinning around and shooting an arrow straight into the target. The elf boy stared at him in awe. Legolas smiled at him. Turning to Tauriel and grinning he asked,
" how do you expect them to be ready for battle if you want them to be slow and graceful? this isn't ballet!" he said laughing.
"Well i was planning on slowly easing them up to shooting from any position." Tauriel defended her tactics.
"there you go with the slow stuff again. i don't think they want to learn from a turtle." Legolas teased. Tauriel's glared at him.
"Yea we want legolas to teach us!" the little elves said. Tauriel's face reddened. "Alright you want fast? I'll show you fast!" Tauriel spun around leaped into the air and shot an arrow into the target., splitting the one Legolas had shot neatly in half with hers. She tried to land gracefully to the ground but when she landed her ankle bent underneath her. She let out a cry of pain, as she crashed to the ground.
"You alright?" Legolas asked running to her and trying to help her up.
"Yes i'm - fine." she said pushing Legolas away and glaring at him as she got up and slightly limped away from the archery practice.
"well now she's definitely not going to be Lle Melamin."one of the older elfs said.
"DINA (shut up)" Legolas said glaring at him. "Everyone keep practicing." Legolas said running after Tauriel. He saw her limping down the path sometimes hopping on one foot. trying to get to the end of the corridor. she went around the corner and sat down on a bench next to a fountain. taking off her shoe she examined her ankle which was beginning to swell. She tried to move it and cried out in pain. "Tanya awra!" (*loose translation* ow that hurts.)
"You are really not alright are you?" Legolas said looking at her with concern.
The elf maiden jumped turning around to glare at him. "Kela! (go away) It's just a twisted ankle I am fine!"
"I'll be the judge of that!"Legolas said kneeling down next to Tauriel. he gently lifter her swollen foot and slowly turned her ankle. Tauriel used all of her might not to cry out. Her hands were grabbing the bench arms turning her knuckles white.
Tanya awra, n'uma ta? (that hurts doesn't it?)" Legolas asked. looking at her with concern.
"No…." Tauriel lied.
"Then get up and walk on it." Legolas said sternly.
"W-walk on it?" Tauriel said.
"Yes walk on it!"
Tauriel go up and took a step with her other foot then put the injured foot out and in one quick motion put all of her weight on it. She bit back a cry and with all of her strength she kept from collapsing in pain. She tried to take another step but once her weight shifted to the injured foot, she collapsed and legolas caught her .
" Sii', hama sinome, (Now, sit down,) and let me examine that ankle." Legolas commanded. tauriel nodded. Legolas carefully lifted her leg in the air. he gently wrapped her ankle in a ribbon that had been a decoration on his quiver. Tauriel tried to block out the pain as Legolas tended to her ankle.
"You're going to have to stay off of that ankle for a while." Legolas said smiling. :next time don't try to show off." he teased.
"I would not have gotten hurt if you had not tried to show my students how to fight in battle. It is a beginner class!" Tauriel glared at Legolas.
"aww you're cute when you're mad." Legolas grinned at her.
"Mani ume Lle quena! (What did you just say?)?" Tauriel said giving him a disgusted look. Legolas clamped a hand over his mouth, his face reddened.
"Amin Feuya ten' Lle! (you disgust me!)" she said as she stormed off.
Legolas plopped down onto the bench… he groaned, he desperately wanted Tauriel to love him back, he felt defeated and unwanted. *Re Delotha amin (she hates me). "
