"Tauriel, you betrayed my trust," Legolas whispered savagely as he disappeared.
"My son will never talk to you again," Thranduil laughed, disappearing in turn. All of a sudden Tauriel began to see memories of her and Legolas together, all leading up to their big fight...their only fight.
"I was even beginning to have feelings for you!" He whispered, his voice echoing around the walls.
"Tauriel," Legolas began, shaking her shoulder, "Tauriel, Tauriel, Tauriel.."
The elleth woke with a start and looked around. Thranduil was looking at her expectantly, his hand on her shoulder, and when she looked at her pillow she saw it was wet from tears and sweat.
"What do you want?" She asked irritably. The king had already ruined her life, what more did he need?
"I just wanted to inform you that you have until tomorrow to leave Mirkwood," the king replied, his voice smooth as silk. Tauriel's heart was instantly filled with dread, so this was his way of protecting Legolas.
"Legolas will never let you do it," she replied as steady as possible.
"How many times do I have to remind you? It's prince Legolas, and Tauriel, he is too far gone to care about what I'm doing."
"Legolas, prince Legolas, whatever his name is, I know he won't let me leave, no matter what you think." Tauriel told him confidently.
"You go with that," Thranduil smiled, walking towards the door. "But until then, I suggest packing up, just in case 'prince charming' doesn't save the day after all." With that, he left, leaving Tauriel alone in her thoughts.
Tauriel knew she needed to move fast, so quick as lightning, so jumped from her bed and sat at her desk. She then grabbed a piece of paper and wrote a mile a minute, writing 'Dear Legolas' on the top. When she was finished, she went around to packing some valuables that she couldn't live without, the rest would stay. Finally, she came around to her bow and arrows, the same bow and arrows that Legolas had helped her shoot countless times. She knew she couldn't leave it there, it would be stupid. Plus, it would remind her of all the good times they had.
"Tauriel? Where are you going?"
Tauriel swung around to see one of her friends, Florescat Bloom, standing someways away. Florescat had long auburn hair that was in a braid down her back. She was wearing a green shirt with brown pants and had a green cloak on. Tauriel quickly hid her basket of belongings behind her cloak before Florescat could see it.
"Umm..I'm just...ahh..." Tauriel scrambled for words, "going for a walk...yeah, going for a walk." Florescat will believe that, right?
"Oh," for a moment Florescat looked disappointed, but she quickly perked up again. "Ok!" Tauriel sighed with relief as Florescat walked away. She despised lying to her friends, but what could she Florescat? The prince had kissed her and Thranduil had exiled her because he hated her? Even saying it in her head sounded stupid to Tauriel. So she continued walking until she reached the stables, but peaking her head in she saw no trace of her honey colored horse named Mellis, meaning 'honey'. Of course Thranduil would take my horse away! Tauriel realized, Thranduil was always one step ahead of her.
"I guess I'm walking now," she murmured aloud.
Hey guys, sorry it took so long to update. Truthfully, I have all the chapters on my laptop and I am working on the sequel, but my friends are big hobbit fans, so I've been trying to make more chapters for them. I feel really bad, but I'll try to update more frequently, seeing as a lot of people like my book. Thanks again for all the nice reviews, I love hearing all the feedback on my story, until next time- Mallowbloom
