New chapter :D A little late but...yeah..oh and ButtercupBerry no it didn't hurt me don't worry you have a right to express your opinion as everybody else :) I promise i will make her stronger not exactly when but i will..its just from my thinking that Tauriel wasn't as strong as she is her whole life..when she got into Mirkwood she probably was a little scared and unsure of herself..but later training and her friendship with Legolas made her stronger..so i'm not basing her character as she is in DoS..i'm basing it kinda when she was 300 years old or so..Greetings to you also,neighbor! :D
Love Was Never Easy
Chapter 14
Tauriel sat on her bed, reading, when her phone beeped. Looking at it, she got a video message from an unknown number.
On top of it was a text:
: "legolas is mine...so lay off tauriel, if u dont want to get hurt."
It sounded awfully familiar...but the elleth couldn't put her finger on it.
Next, she proceeded to watch the video and see what the unknown sender has sent her. At first, Tauriel only saw Legolas leaning against the counter with people around him- nothing peculiar...until...
As she watched the video, tears welled up from her eyes at what she was seeing. She felt her heart harden...and there was a mix of both anger and betrayal in the tears that fell on her cheeks.
"Legolas...how could you?!"
In frustration, she screamed and threw the phone on her wall, shattering it into tiny pieces.
She gave another scream and clenched her fists as she cried openly.
"He lied to me..." she thought angrily, "he lied to me!"
She hastily went out of the house and strolled the streets, hoping to get some of the pain out of her heart. Tauriel walked slowly and weakly...she felt sick...so sick.
Suddenly, she felt as if she dropped something. Looking down, she saw her pencil fall to the pavement, rolling out on the street.
Absent-mindedly, she went out to the road, bent down and picked it up when she saw something glow from the corner of her eye- and the it was getting brighter as seconds passed.
Tauriel stood up and turned to see what it was, and the last thing she saw were two bright lights speeding up towards her.
And the world went dark.
The next day, Legolas arrived at school a bit late...and how surprised he was when he saw Tauriel's empty seat.
"Where could she be?" he asked himself, hoping to apologize for not giving her a text or calling last night...he had quite a head ache; but thankfully, it was all gone.
The lecture began, and still, Tauriel wasn't in her seat. It got Legolas feeling so alone. He sat somberly when Rosie,came in and interrupted the class.
"Sir Gildor..." she said, her voice trembling with horror, "...sir..."
The elf waited anxiously and her voice made him realize that something was terribly wrong.
"What is it Rosie?" he said softly.
"Sir...sir, it's Tauriel..." she finally said and the tears flowed out completely.
"What happened to her?!" Legolas hurriedly demanded in a voice that surprised even himself.
"Legolas, she's at the hospital.." answered the hobbit, "...yesterday afternoon...she..."
Everyone waited for her answer.
"She was hit by a car..."
Starting his engines, Legolas didn't bother staying at the university- Tauriel's life was at risk and he needed to see her.
He quickly drove to the hospital and asked the nurse for the elleth's room number. After pointing to where it is, the ellon dashed off, hoping to see her alright.
Arriving, Legolas hurriedly burst the door open, and there she was lying in bed.
Her head was wrapped with bandage...but other than that, there does not seem to be any other signs of injury. He smiled and went to her.
"Tauriel, I'm glad you're okay-"
But he then felt her hand slap him hard on the cheek, and he was taken back.
"Enough lies Legolas..." she whispered and looked away from him, "Get out."
"Tauriel," he said, going nearer, "Tauriel- what's wrong?"
Legolas heard a sarcastic chuckle escape her lips and she was silent for a while, then, without warning, she fiercely swiped the vase on her table onto the tiled floor, shattering the porcelain artifact into tiny pieces.
"Do you think I'm stupid Legolas?!" she demanded, tears swelling up from her eyes, "I trusted you- and you lied to me! You played with my emotions, you toyed with me!"
"Tauriel, what are you talking about?!" asked Legolas.
"Get out!" she yelled, "I hate you so much- just get out!"
The guards quickly rushed in at the sound of the commotion and muscled the ellon out.
"Tauriel!" Legolas called, "Tauriel!"
When the doors were shut, the elleth slumped back into bed and cried openly...it hurts so much...
"Legolas, how could you?" she asked herself, "what did I ever do to you..."
