The next time I awake, I feel fully rested. I am feeling quite hungry and feeling like I need to sit up and stretch, I open my eyes and I slowly sit up and when I do I see Beorn sitting at the end of my bed.

He says "Oy, how are you feeling?"

I smile "I feel quite rested thank you, what has happened? The last thing I remember is blacking out."

He looks at me as if searching for something "You saw me in my bear form and your wrist was bleeding pretty badly. You fell on your horse, I transformed then I carried you back and I sent Rue to get a healer. She came and healed your wrist but it seemed to almost heal itself after she put some leaves on it."

I smile, my power even helps wounds. Maybe I do have a gift like father after all. I then look at my wrist, it is still pink and three ugly claw marks across it.

He continues speaking "She told me it would scar, she also looked at your leg and it's basically healed. You have been asleep for 3 days."

I look at him "3 days?! What time of day is it?"

He looks at me "It is almost sunrise my child, what is it?"

I then say as I get up from the bed "I need to leave; my father and the king are going to be so mad."

I then run and get dressed in my green riding clothes then pack my bags and put them on me. I say "Thank you, Beorn. You have been a great host and like a father to me." I then say as I slowly pull out a blue gem that is worth a month's stay plus more and put it in his hand and smile at him "Take this as payment. It is worth a lot, take it to remember me. I hope to see you again Beorn. Thank you for everything."

He then gives me a smile and kisses my forehead "You are welcome, thank you. I shall hope you return one day."

Will that I go out to Lobor and put my bags on him and get settled, then with one last smile to Beorn. I take off into the sunrise.

I have been riding since sunrise it is almost sunset it has been a beautiful peaceful ride which I am thankful for. For I know when I get back to the kingdom, I fear I will not be allowed out of my father or the kings sights.

As I see the sight of the guards I let down my hood and they see it's me. One guard runs off and the others let me in, as I ride Lobor to the stables and get off, I whisper "You might not see me a few days, I will more than likely be in trouble."

Lobor than snorts "No my lady, you will be in trouble and you know it." That puts a smile on my face as I take my bags off of him and then I hear a voice behind me "Lady Fae, nice of you to come back to us, the king would like to see you in the Throne room."

I turn around to see Tauriel and give her a smile "I miss you, Tauriel! It has only been 4 days my friend."

She gives me a smile "You have been gone for five my lady, the king nor your father are happy."

I then look at the ground "On a scale of one-ten how mad do you think the king is?"

She then gets a smirk and says "Hmmm only one-hundred. Your father is right there with him."

She then has a maid grab my stuff and she does Tauriel sees my wrist and grabs above it lightly as she looks over it than at me "Fae, you did not have this before. These are Ocr scars…"

I take my wrist out of her arm and then lower my sleeve over it "Yes, I am quite aware. Please mention nothing of it."

She lowers her head with a sad look on her face "Of course, my lady."

As I follow her to the throne room, I find myself being quiet. I have nothing to say for I know once I enter the throne room; I will be in trouble for years to come.

As we enter, I see Arwen run to me first, she grabs my wounded wrist and I flinch, and then shake her hand off me then keep walking. I know I hurt her feelings but she hurt mine lying to me. I now see the king and he is sitting on his throne with his legs crossed and an eyebrow raised, but I don't meet his eyes, I then look to his right where my father is. The look on his face scares me; I have never in my whole life been scared of my father, he looks livid.

As I stand before the stairs, I hold the sleeve off my hurt wrist to cover it as I bow to the king and my father. I raise and look at my father first who just shakes his head and I let a huff. "Father-"

He cuts me off the raise of his hand and I close my mouth, as he then starts speaking "What were you thinking? Not only did I tell you not to go off by yourself, the king did also. Not only are you gone longer than a day, you have been gone for five days. No one knows whether you are safe or not. You will head serious punishment, Fae. Not only for dis obeying me but for also not listening to the king"

I lower my head and as my father continues "I have been very gracious to you Fae, you are young but you understand what you have done wrong."

The king has said nothing nor have I made eye contact, I gulp and I look into my father's eyes. Now it's Thranduil time to speak. He says "Fae, we have discussed what will happen for your punishment. After you go to Arwen's wedding, you will not be allowed in the forest for 6 months."

I know look into his eyes as he continues "You will have a guard everywhere you go to insure this. The only place they will not follow you is your chambers."

I look at my father "6 months? How will I not be allowed in the forest when everything surrounding Rivendell is the forest or mountains?"

The king then says "That's because you will be staying here and not going back to Rivendell."

It takes so much no to glare at him, so I look to the ground and glare at it. Not only will I lose my sister but I will lose my home land on which I grown up on, to stay with my mate but if you think about it this isn't really punishment because I would have had to stay because he would be hurt by our mating bond.

I then bow and say "I understand, my lords." No point in fighting it, I am too tired from my trip.

Then the king says "Also you will be moved into my chambers when you get back from Arwen's wedding. You will also only going for rides with Lobor once a week."

I then raise my eyes to his and say "Yes my lord."

They must have been thinking I would fight them. I then bow and look to the king "May I be excused, I am tired from my journey."

The king looks at me with a raised eye brow; suspiciously "You may go to your bed chambers. Tauriel follow her."

I bow and I tauriel says something, and she follows me to me room and walks in with me, I raise an eyebrow "Guards stay outside, not come in."

A hurt face crosses her face "Fae what has happened please tell me as your friend."

I let out a deep breath as I go to the window "It's not you, I'm sorry. It just feels like whomever I put my trust in, loses it all. The only someone that hasn't is Lobor. Please leave me for now."

She bows "Of course, my lady."

She walks out and I go to the washroom for the maids have already started a bath for me. I take all my clothes off and look in the mirror. One scar on my wrist and another on my leg, the king will never find this sexy. I sit in the water, trying not to cry and think about alex.

I get dressed in night clothes and ask for no one to bother me. The next 3 hours, a stare at a spot on the wall and then I finally start to cry. Not only because I will be stuck inside but because….

I cry for what seems like 5 minutes before someone comes in and wraps themselves behind me. I don't feel anything, I cut off all feelings. I turn in their arms and see that is Thranduil. I look in his eyes for a second then lay my head on his chest. He doesn't say anything but just holds me as the tears roll down my eyes.

20 minutes after crying into his shirt, I look up at him and meet his beautiful grey eyes. I say "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

He runs his hand threw my hair and says "It's okay my mate, just do not go off like that by yourself ever again."

I shake my head and say "No I'm sorry for-"

I then look down and think better on it then showing my wrist. He puts a finger under my chin to make me look at him. "What is it my mate?"

I then say "I might have got into some trouble when I was away, because I didn't mean to stay away for that long."

He then gets that I was hurt and hisses at me "Where?"

I take a deep breath and say "My left wrist."

He goes to grab my wrist but I pull it back from him, as I slowly raise my night sleeve off of it. Then show it to him and he says "It has healed very fast, how? It was an Orc was it not?"

I nod my head yes "It was an Orc and we think because they put leaves on it, my gift healed me."

I thought he would miss that they part, he then says "Who is they?"

I then say "His name was Beorn, he was a skin changer. I stayed with him and he got a healer from town to heal me."

He then raises his voice "You stayed at a skin changers house?! Do you know how dangerous those things are?! You are never leaving my sight again after your sister's wedding; you my dear find trouble to easy."

I can't help it but the way he said it sounded so funny to me. I started to laugh and laugh hard. I just couldn't stop and I see him staring at me. He says with a smirk on his handsome face "You think it's funny when I worry about you? I will just have to do something to make you want to stay."

As I keep laughing he grabs the side of my face and kisses me full force, which stops my laughing. I lay there as he moves on top of me; I sit up as he moves his hand to the curve of my hip. One of my hands on the back of his neck and the other on his back, as I kiss him back the electric is going wild between us. I can't seem to stop; he takes his mouth from mine and starts kissing my neck. I let out a moan as he kisses that spot on my neck, which makes him stop to look up at me.

He stops then says "You are so beautiful, Fae."

He looks at me a moment longer than brings his mouth to mine again for another smearing kiss. Then stops and starts kissing down my chin, neck, collar bone and I can help the shiver that goes thru me.

I then say his name in a plea and a moan "Thranduil."

He seems to like it because now he's moving his hands to my hips under my night gown. That's when the red flag goes off in my head a grab his hands "Thranduil, stop please. I'm not ready to take it that far."

He smirks as he takes his hands off my hips then kisses me and says half getting out of the bed and whispering in my ear "Oh Fae, I don't plan on taking it that far till our wedding night."

I blush and say "I-I don't know what to say."

He gives me a rare smile starts walking for the door "Fae lost for words? Amazing. I can't wait for the day when you are lost in the throne of passion. That will be a sight to see. Good night, my love."

I lay there as he walks out, burning hot, confused, surprised and turned on like no other. The king will be the death of me, I am sure of it.
