Sigrid's gaze faltered as she watched Legolas's hands slip down her waist. " Wait."She said, causing his hands to pause. " M-maybe we should tell my father of our relationship before we take things to a higher level." She stuttered.

Legolas sighed, and for a moment she thought he was going to decline, but at last he let her go. " Perhaps you may be right."

Sigrid let out a breath of relief. It wasn't that she didn't love him, she loved him with every piece of her heart, it was just that she was scared. She'd never really found love before. Legolas was one of the first guys she's ever came to care about./p

" He will not be mad at you." Sigrid reassured him. Legolas smiled at her before touching her chin. " For I know not that."

Sigrid looked away. Honestly, she didn't know how her father would react. He's always been...protective.

Sigrid turned her head to the slight noise of a footstep in their presence. /p

" Who's there?" Sigrid called, taking a step away from Legolas. Legolas quickly whipped out his bow and took a protective step infront of Sigrid. " For you know exactly who it is." A voice called out in elvish.

Legolas smiled as he lowered his bow. " Tauriel." He spoke.

Sigrid took a step back, biting her bottom lip. Tauriel came out of the shadows with a smile, arms outstretched. Legolas happily hugged her. " I haven't seen you in ages." He spoke gently.

Sigrid, who was full of jealousy, considered interrupting. However, she had been taught ever since she was an infant that interrupting was rude.

Besides these two haven't seen eachother in ages, it wasn't like Legolas was going to fall head over heels for someone he hadn't seen in awhile. Tauriel had her chance with Legolas, well maybe not exactly. Due to the fact that Legolas's father didn't want him to be with Tauriel, they really didn't have a chance of getting together. How would Legolas's dad feel when he found out that Legolas was with her, a person who wasn't an elf?

Tauriel must've noticed Sigrid's jealousy because she stepped forward with an easy smile. " Legolas and I are just friends." She said reassuringly. " I know who you are." Sigrid replied, her eyes narrowing. " You saved Kili's life." Her eyes continued to stay narrowed. Kili had been heartbroken ever since Tauriel left.

Tauriel stared at the ground with guilt. " But I'm here now, and I am here to stay for good." She replied. Legolas grinned. " Really?" Tauriel smiled before taking a step away from him. " Really."

Sigrid rolled her eyes. " What if he doesn't want to see you?"

Legolas's grin quickly turned into a frown. " Sigrid." He said, his voice hard.

Tauriel frowned taking a step towards Sigrid and grabbing her hand. " I promise I won't hurt him, I never intended to."

Sigrid snorted as she ripped her hand away. " Yeah, well you did." She snapped stomping off.

Sigrid washed the dishes that night silently. " Sigrid, your a sight for poor eyes." Her father said with a small, weak smile as he pushed the hair out of her face.

Sigrid smiled at her father before returning to do the dishes. " I get my looks from mom." She finally said.

Bard smiled as the memories replayed in his head. " Yes, yes you do."

Sigrid felt warm tears burn her eyes. Before she knew it they were streaming down her face. Every memory of her mom made her want to cry, but it wasn't just that which caused her to cry at this moment.

It was Legolas too, as much as it was also tears for her father, brother, and sister. The tears wouldn't stop streaming. Bard gave her a sad look. " There's no need to cry Sigrid." He stared at the window in silence before finally saying, " What's in the past, stays in the past." His voice was weak, but somehow he managed to get it out.

Sigrid finished the last bit of dishes before deciding she would try to go to bed. " Goodnight Father." She said gently before heading up to her room. " Sigrid will you tell me a story?" Tilda asked.

Sigrid sighed before finally deciding to read her sister a story. The story was sweet, and had a happy story. It wasn't a real story, since not many real stories were sweet, instead it was one from Sigrid's mind. If only the world could be forever peaceful.

Tilda had a beaming smile. " I can't wait till the world is peaceful. Hopefully my kids, or my grandchildren can live a peaceful life." Sigrid smiled before leaning and kissing her sister's forehead. " Goodnight." If only she could tell her sister everything on her mind. Things would be better. But her sister is far too young to understand.

Sigrid's eyes burned with tiredness. " Bilbo, what is it that you have to show me?" She asked blinding the tiredness from her eyes. Bilbo chuckled. " Just wait and see!"

Sigrid stopped dead as she spotted Kili and Tauriel hugging. " Is this what you wanted to show me?" Bilbo smiled happily. " Look Kili is happy again! Isn't it great to see a smile like that on his face again?"

Sigrid sighed before crossing her arms. " Until she leaves him, and breaks his heart once again." Sigrid couldn't help her hostility, she was close to the dwarves now. They were like her family. She didn't want to see Kili hurt again.

Bilbo looked up at her. " She promised us she wouldn't leave again, don't worry we were protective too. But she's an honest woman."

Sigrid turned her gaze away. Was that a quick streak of blonde hair? Sigrid hurried to look in time to see Legolas running towards Tauriel. His mouth moved rapidly, and he had his bow held up. Even from the distance she was, Sigrid could tell he was talking in Elvish.

Legolas had tried to teach Sigrid elvish before. At first she was terrible, but he never gave up. She was better now but still learning.

Tauriel nodded before glancing at Kili. " I promise I'll be back soon." She said dropping his hand and quickly following after Legolas.

Sigrid sighed before turning and heading towards the house. " Everything alright?" Bilbo called after her. Sigrid casted a small glance towards him. " I'm just feeling a bit...tired, that's all."

Bilbo was quickly at her side. " You look like something is bothering you..." Sigrid considered breaking down and telling him everything, but she kept her mouth shut. " Nothing is bothering me." She lied.

Sigrid keeps walking on, she turns around once to see that Bilbo had stopped following her. She sighed, he obviously knew she lied to him. What choice did she have?

Sigrid was full of stress, it was because of Legolas, her siblings, the loss of her mother, and Tauriel.
