Wow double digits! I'm excited I hope y'all are! Alright thank you for the amazing reviews I can't believe people like this story! I'm not a really good writer so I'm glad some people like it! Ok Chapter 10 here we go…

A couple weeks have passed since I moved to Mirkwood. I'm not allowed to wear my clothes, but I'm getting used to the dresses here. Legolas always compliments me on them. He knows how to make me feel special. The visits to my mom were also awesome. We usually did something special like going to a movie or something.

It's now July, and there's a ball tonight for the King's and Queen's anniversary. Legolas, of course, asked me to be his date. So now I'm waiting for Queen Arwen of Gondor to do my hair and makeup. She walks in, or more like floats in. She looks like a model with her long dark hair and dark red dress. Her Evenstar necklace shines brightly on her neck. Her eyes are also blue, but a darker blue than Legolas's. She smiles and says, "You must be Ally. Legolas has said so many wonderful things about you." I blush. He's been talking about me and saying nice things! He's so sweet. Arwen starts working on my mess of hair. I think she used some Elvish magic or something cause now my hair is perfectly curly and they have no curling irons. Plus curling hours take hours not seconds. She starts a waterfall braid, weaving flowers into my hair as she braids. She adds some eyeliner and a light pink shade to my eyelids, along with some pink lip gloss. I have no idea what they call this stuff here, but yeah. She then gives me a midnight blue dress with silver trim around the neckline and sleeves with a silver belt. There is extremely detailed beading all over the dress, making it sparkle. I walk out in the dress and Arwen gasps. She leads me to the mirror and I'm the one gasping. I look so pretty! I'm like an elf, but I'm not. The dress makes me look like a supermodel and my hair is something the world's best hairstylist wouldn't be able to create. My makeup makes me glow, like the elves.

"You look gorgeous, Ally. Legolas will not be able to take his eyes off you. He couldn't in the first place," she adds, giggling. My heart flutters just thinking of him. I can't wait to see his reaction.

I walk down the stairs. It feels like slow motion when he looks up and sees me gliding (yes my clumsiness is gone for this moment and I feel like I'm floating) down the stairs. His face lights up, his eyes are shining bright. I smile at him, but I think he's too stunned to smile. He stands up from the seat next to his parents and meets me at the bottom.

"You are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen," he whispers as we tries to find his voice. I blush. I've been doing that a lot. But I love his reaction. It's so cute. Legolas takes my hand and we set out to the middle of the floor to dance. As if on cue, the slow music starts. He holds my right hand and puts his other hand on my back. I put my left hand on his shoulder and we dance as the world melts away. Just Legolas, me and the music. We stare into each other's eyes as we twirl around. I couldn't take my eyes off his. When the music ends, we share a kiss and walk off to the table for the feast. Legolas looks very kingly in his robes, kinda like Celeborn from the movie. We eat the great feast and I notice everyone staring at me.

"Legolas,is everyone staring at me?" I ask. He whispers in my ear, "They think you look like a queen, and that we look perfect together." He grabs my hand and squeezes it. We don't let go till it's time for more dancing.

"Ally, I need to show you something," Legolas whispers to me. He takes my hand and leads me out. We go to the gazebo and I notice a wrapped present sitting there. He picks it up and says, "Happy Birthday." I look down and open it. I gasp. I am looking at the bow that I admired when we went around the town. But now the names Ally and Legolas are engraved it the heart. I start to tear up.

"B-but my birthday isn't for another month," I say.

"I know. I have to tell you something. I'm," he pauses and takes a breath," I'm not going to be here on your birthday. I-I have to go to war. Orcs and trolls are starting to roam the lands again. I have to lead the elves to battle." My hearts stops and I gasp. War? How could this happen? The tears really start falling now. I can barely breathe. He wraps his strong arms around me and pulls me in as I cry into his chest. He can't leave me. I would have to go back home, waiting for him. And he may never return. And I'd be all depressed. Legolas holds me tightly and I feel something wet fall on my head. He's crying too. It makes me cry harder. I pull away from him.

"I'm going with you," I say between sobs.

"Oh no you're not! I absolutely refuse it! You don't know how to fight. You'd get killed."

"Teach me how to fight then," I say as my voice rises. He shakes his head. I feel the anger boiling as I say, I'm going whether you like it or not." He shakes his head again. I get so mad I start hitting him on the shoulders (but not hard to hurt him! I'm not that strong) and screaming at him. This can't be happening. Legolas grabs my wrists to stop me and I burst into tears again. He picks me up and carries me to my room. He sits on my bed and I lay my head in his lap as I cry myself to sleep.

I cried during lunch as I wrote this it so sad. Hope you all enjoyed it. 19 days till Hobbit!
