Glancing back Legolas could see that Tauriel was focused on their surroundings as she should be buthe could not help the pain that flared in his chest as she would not even look at him let alone meet his gaze. Realizing his thoughts and noticing that stares from two of the council members Legolas shook his head and turned back around. 'why can't I just stay focused on the meeting ahead!'
Legolas was flustrated with himself and as he sat in the saddle mentally patronizing himself he stoped abruptly as he felt the pressure of someone's gaze sending prickles down his spine 'Tauriel' He knew exactly who it was and that surprised him even more, yet also confused him 'why would she of all people be watching me'.
Tauriel was forcing her attention on the forest, one the elf whom she loved deepy was riding at the head of the group but then again the cut on her calf was rubbing and the pain was starting to make it hard to stay in the saddle. 'Best not to focus on the pain, right?' Once Legolas had stoped staring at her, Tauriel halted her focus on the trees and insteed turned to...Legolas.
Somehow watching and studying him helped the pain in her leg to dwindle to a dull throb. Although she still stayed countious of her movements as not to further agervate her injury. But she was not looking forward to what she knew lay further down the trail...many scatered felled trees crisscrossed the trail.
'This is not going to go well' Tauriel couldn't help to think dimly of the almost last leg of their journey. Without realizing it Tauriel had sighed and dropped her gaze to her horses ears as thoughts of the king's words came back and started swimming through her head. 'I can never be with Legolas, his father will not allow it, it is not right for a captian of the guard to be with the prince in such a manner anyway. But I can't help how I feel, how I've felt since the beginning' With a sigh Tauriel dropped her head to hide the tears threatening to spill from her eyes.
Legolas looked back to check on the group 'more so Tauriel' and didn't really know how to respond when he saw the Tauriel had been staring at her horse's ears and now let her head drop, but not before he caught sight of the unshed tears held in her eyes. 'why is she crying? Is she thinking about something father said to her? Is her leg bothering her?' Before Legolas could stop them dozens of questions flashed through his mind, ranging from details about the conversation between her and his father to the injury he knew she had received from training a month earlier.
Glancing forward again as his horse tossed his head as they neared the first fallen tree. Legolas braced against the horse's neck as he lifted his feet and cleared the tree easily. Looking back as the horse landed Legolas watched the council member make the jump, the Tauriel. But she seemed unsteady as she gripped her mare's main tightly. Legolas felt a bad prickle go down his spine.
Tauriel's eyes widened as she felt her horse go tense her gaze shot up to see they were nearing the first tree jump. 'I didn't think we were that close' before she knew it...it was her turn to jump. Reaching forward Tauriel threaded her fingers into the mare's main and gripped it tightly as the horse lifted her front hooves. They cleared the tree just fine, but that's not what had worried Tauriel...The landing...As the mare landed it jarred Tauriel out of the saddle a bit, and the elleth let out a small yelp of pain as her calf caught and tore her cut painfully far.
Ah ha...that chapter is finally done. Not my best work I must admit but it's what I could get. Sorry if there are any misspellings in there I kinda had to type fast before my laptop died :/ But anyway hooe you liked it, and I will try my hardest to get the next chapter updated at a reasonable time *should writer's block and school work permit*
Have a lovely day ;)
