IMPORTANT please read: Thank you so much for reading my story. It means a lot! I just want to say that I will be writing this story based on all the hobbit movies. I'm not yet sure if I will be bringing this story into the lord of the rings movies just yet. And in the next couple of chapters it will be based on the third hobbit movie. So if you have not yet watched the movie. Be warned of spoilers! Now on to the story!
"Where is Tauriel?! Why didn't she come with you!?" Legolas snapped at me with an angry voice. I jumped off The horse and answer him calmly. "She...stayed behind. I wasn't going to force her to come with us." I answered. "It was not our right to interfere with those dwarves! I gave the command to follow these orcs!" He said. "You gave the command Legolas! But you do not control our hearts and what we decided to do in our lives." I say coming close to him trying to reason with him. To calm down at least.
"So then why did you come!?" He says with a snap. I stayed silent for a minute until I spoke. "Because I am your friend Legolas. And I wanted to come." I say laying my right hand on his left shoulder. "You are angry meelon (friend). Do not place your anger on people who are here for you." I say. Legolas stares at me and then sighs slumping his shoulders down. He looks down at the lingers upon us, my hand still on his shoulder.
It was then that Legolas leaned against a tree as his nose spills blood again. I grab my sleeve quickly this time in my palm and make Legolas look at me as I wipe it off. "You shouldn't have run off so quickly. Your blood rising from the fighting and horse riding was enough to make you bleed again." I say. He says nothing but stares at me as I finish up. I tried hard not to stare at him as his eyes linger on me, but after I finished I couldn't help it and stared back.
When we stared into each other, we felt this tension in the air. Like it was pulling us closer and closer to each other. Legolas finally looked away from me and I pulled away walking towards his horse to see if there was anything to use for us to sleep on. We needed the rest. It was then Legolas spoke up in an almost mere whisper. "Why didn't she come?" He asked.
I was glad I was looking away from him, because I was sure my face was wide eyed and nervous looking. I didn't say anything which left like a long time. "Anastasia..." Legolas mumbles. "Why did she stay in Lake Town?" He asked. It was finally that I had to tell him and I sighed looking at him. "She stayed...to help save the dwarf." I told him. His face went wide eyed and had heartbreak written all over it. He looked away from me and into the distance.
"She was going to come with me." I continue walking towards him. "But the dwarves pleaded with us to save him and the dwarf I saved before outside held a plant that could help him. Tauriel took it and helped saved his life." I finished. "He is a dwarf Anastasia!" He says angrily. "His name is Kili and he may be a dwarf, but he lives in this world." I said. "He wouldn't of lived much longer if she didn't save him." He mumbled.
That was when I grew angry. "Why are you saying such bad things Legolas! This is not like you!" I tell him. "Not like me?" He says as we stare down at each other. "We came all this way to go hunting for orcs and dwarves! And look where we are now! We lost the Orcs trail! And Tauriel is off with her disgusting dwarf lover!" He snaps waving his arm towards the direction to Lake Town.
"We did not lose the trail! I know where the riders are going! They are going to Dol Guldur to tell them that Thorin Oakenshield has made it to the mountain." I state. Legolas just glares at me still. "And that dwarf isn't disgusting Legolas! Tauriel loves him. And he loves her. I have seen it with my own eyes!" I bark at him. "Love?" He says with a sort of smirky snort way. "What kind of love is that? A dwarf and elf in love? We elves can never truly make peace with dwarves!" He snaps.
"Yes, we have tension with dwarves, but nobody can tell us who we fall in love with." I say staring at him with sincerity. He just stares back at me waiting for me to go on. "I have seen it Legolas I told you. There love is strong. They may not have known each other for very long, but the way they stared at each other. The way they lightly held each other's hands. I've seen that kind of love before." I say coming over to him placing my hand once again on his shoulder.
He looks at my hand on his shoulder and shrugs me off walking past me with a look of disgust with what I had just said. "You say you have seen this love." Legolas starts off. "You take Tauriel's side as if love is an easy topic to talk about. But have you ever been in love in your pathetic miserable life?If I recall, you are nothing more then a Vice captain of the guard and a horrible one at that, you are reckless, annoying to some and who could ever love you?" He states. My eyes grow wide with hurt at what he just said. Have you every felt its sorrow and heartbreak? Its compassion? Does this person you love even know you exist? Shadow in the dark." He says and that was when a echo of a smack could be heard.
I had slapped Legolas...I have never in my life slapped anyone. Beat up yes, but never slap. I had tears in my eyes as they fell from my cheeks. Legolas just stared at me shocked and wide eyed with his right cheek growing red. "Who I love is you...I speak of love so easily because I watch my parents love grow strong with no words said to each other. Just stares and caresses. I speak of love easily because I have also experienced heartbreak and sorrow...because of you." I say with an angry tone as I went on.
"I have loved you...but I knew you fell for Tauriel so I hid my feelings. I became the vice captain hoping you would notice me as well then just Tauriel. But I became the shadow in the dark because of you! But yet I still loved you. When we both saw Tauriel falling for the dwarf. I didn't feel relieved and happy that now was my chance to possibly make you fall for me. I was instead scared and worried for you. That for once you were feeling how I have felt for a long time now and I didn't want you to become a shadow in the dark as well." I say walking away looking up at the sky as another tear rolls down my face.
"Yes, I have a pathetic life and may never equally find love...but I'm glad I loved you Legolas...now that I have told you. I was hoping to have gotten a kinder rejection from you. But it would see these are your true feelings towards me. So if you excuse me. I would like to go home now." I say and start walking. "Anastasia wait!" Legolas says "No!" I snap in elvish. "Let me leave with the little respect and dignity I have left." And walked away.
