Chapter 3

Tauriel moaned softly as she opened her eyes, her hands going through her long red hair as she sat up from her bed. She let out a soft yawn as she slowly got out of bed, pulling on her uniform and pulling her hair back in it's usual style. With a calm sigh, she walked out of her room closing the door and walking down to the cellar looking around glaring at the drunken guards.

"Amin feuya ten' lle! (You disgust me!)" she growled at them, making them jump to attention. Her green eyes burning into them as she walked closer to them holding a bottle of the King's wine.

" This is the King's Wine!" she slammed the bottle down making them shake slightly, she sighed softly and rubbed her temple softly. " What am I going to do with you two.." she looked back at them and smiled slightly, " Get going and sober up...and don't ever do it again." she glared as he scurried on. Shaking her head as she walked around picking up slightly making it look nicer for the cooks, and soon walked out. Shaking her head as she thought to herself, ' Them two are getting worse and worse...What am I going to do with them.'.

Tauriel walked up the stairs slowly and smiled at she saw Legolas and Nym talking as they sharpened their swords. She whistled at them and laughed softly as they looked at her in surprised, she got closer.

" Your awake late." Legolas teased her slightly grinning, Nym made a gag face, laughing as Legolas hit his arm. She smiled softly at them and giggled, " So where is the girl?" she asked softly as she sat down on the stool looking at them. The elf men looked her, they chuckled softly making her confused and worried. Nym smiled at her, " She is fine. She gave us a lovely song before we all headed to bed.", Legolas nodded at this statement ," She gave Father a scare haha!" he chuckled softly.

She sighed softly and smiled, " I'm just glad she is alright.." she looked up at them and laughed softly as she stood up. The she-elf looked at behind her and smiled softly and pulled her laces tightly as they readied for patrol.

The young human awoke to the sound of drawers opening and shutting, with a soft moan she opened her eyes. Sitting up slowly as she rubbed her hands in her hair, gently pulling the knots out of her long hair. Temperance looked up at the elven woman in front of her smiling down, " 'Quel Amrun(Good Morning).". THe light brown haired fea lifted her up slightly, making her jump slightly in shock as she looked up at her. The maiden giggled at the young human's facial expression, as she pulled her out of bed to to get her ready.

" Wha-what are you doing?" Temperance gasped loudly as the Elf pulled off her clothing from before and pulled her along to a closed twin doors. Blushing brightly, as she held on tightly to her discarded dress to hide herself. ' What have I done to deserve this…', she thought silently as she watched the Maiden oven the doors revealing a large bathing area. Her eyes widened as she was soon pushed into a large tube, she screamed lightly as hit the water. Gasping for air as she couldn't see as her long wet hair covered her eyes. The maiden laughed softly at the girl's condition, smiling as she lifted a crystal vase and poured a clear sweet smelling liquid on her hair.

"W...What is that?" Temperance gasped softly as she jumped at the touch of the cold liquid. She moaned softly she felt her hair being tugged and pulled, as her knots slowly came out of her hair. She looked up at the Elfen-maiden rubbing her head slowly, she closed her eyes slowly getting relaxed. After a few moments she sat in the warm water, love the hear coming from it.

" I see you like this?." She asked softly making Temperance blush in embarrassment. She looked down hiding her face in her bangs. The elf smiled at her and rinsed the girl's long hair, looking at her hair amazed about how a human could have such thing. Minutes later she rose from the water as the maiden wrapped a towel around her thick curvy body. Temperance blushed still as she looked at herself and at the elf, getting self- conscious about herself.

'I wish I looked like that...', she thought as she looked down walk in out to the dressing room. Soon looking up, she gasped softly looking at the gown in the woman's hands. A beautiful soft blue dress, with a clear cape falling behind it.

" This is one his Majesty handpicked for you himself."she bowed to her as the maiden walked closer to her. Temperance looked at her as she felt the towel being pulled away. Quickly she covered herself, Temperance looked at the elf, her face blood red. She looked at the elf, "Don't you have anything to wear underneath. ..?!". The maiden laughed loudly as she shook her head replying that she didn't need any undergarments, Temperance soon flipped and tried to hold on to hold on to the towel. But to no avail, as the Elfen pulled the towel making her fall to the ground. She moaned softly and then yelped as the elf jumped at her , Temperance cried out for help and for her to stop.

Outside the chaotic room, a young guard was walking by but stopped to the noise. He lend again the door and listened, blushing at the sounds and then quickly moved away trying to not look suspicious.

In the Throne room, Thranduil sat upon his mighty Antler throne. His icy eyes watching everything around him, his slender fingers going through his long blonde hair. His thoughts racing, images of fangs and blood still running though repeatedly. Soon he snapped, letting out a loud grunt as he hit his gauntlet of wine to the floor in anger. He looked up to the ceiling and glared at what was once was his sky view, but is now thorn coated vines.

A growl escaped from his lips as he stepped down from his throne. Soon the sound of quick foot steps caught his attention, turn his eyes to the young boy.

"My lord...breakfast is served..." he gulped nervously, as he felt his hand on his shoulder.

"Alright, you may go." Thranduil said softly walking away from the boy, he slammed slammed away going down the stairs. He sighed silently as he got to the long table, as he sat down the food was now beginning to be laid out. Fresh hot bread with honey butter melting on top, the sweet smell of fresh wine will his nose. He smiled slightly as his place was set in front of him, looking up slightly frowning slightly as Legolas and others jumped into the room.

"Must you make such a racket. " the King sighed as he gazed at his son. Legolas couched softly, " Yes sir, sorry father me and Nym was having a race." He grinned as he pushed his brown haired fire making him laugh. Thranduil groaned silently rubbing his temple slightly, as Tauriel tried to hold back a laugh.

Tauriel smiled and looked up and gasped so as she saw who now walked in. The men turned turned see a nervous Temperance , she stood there rubbing her hands together. .

"Um...good morning..."
