Can you Thaw This Heart Of Mine ( A Legolas x Tauriel Fanfiction ) 7
"Let her go!" yelled Legolas as he stormed in, apparently having more hatred for the orc when he saw Tauriel held captive like a caged animal.
"She has nothing to do with this," he said angrily, "this fight is between you and me!"
He laughed wickedly and grabbed Tauriel cruelly by her hair. Her eyes clenched shut and a muffled scream came from her gagged mouth. Legolas almost charged when Bolg put a finger up.
"Not so fast,your highness," he said, "if you want the elleth, you know there is only one option."
Surrender. Legolas knew. He was about to hesitate when Bolg lifted his arm, his hand still clutching on to the elleth's hair. Another muffled cry came from her and the prince made up his mind.
"Stop!" he said abruptly, "fine...I surrender."
Bolg gave an amused look and dropped Tauriel carelessly on the moist and putrid ground. "Tie him up."
"Hold on." said the prince, startling the orc. "You can have me-all of me."
He then turned to Tauriel who was lying down on the ground, her limbs still tied up. "But you have to promise you will let her go- you will let her pass your lair unharmed!" Bolg gave a light chuckle. "So you do care for the elleth...how charming."
Legolas shrugged off whatever he just said. "I give you my word as prince." he said and went over to Tauriel. He knelt down and started to untie the things that bound her.
Once he removed her gag, Tauriel gasped for air. "Get out of here..." he whispered. "It's alright, you'll be safe; you will arrive back safely in the my father's halls." Tauriel stood up with weak legs, and Legolas instructed her one more time. "Run...and don't come back here...please."
She nodded and made her way out, when half way there, she heard an awful smack, followed by the sound of a loud groan. Tauriel turned around, only to find Legolas being seized from every direction. Before she knew it, Tauriel felt two hands seize her as well, and moments later, the two elves were dragged and muscled down their lair and into prison cells.
There, the orcs threw them both into one cell and shut the iron bars tight. It happened so fast, but Tauriel knew that Legolas and her were on their own.
Moments later, Legolas shifted his position and now had his back flat against the wall. "You are stupid..." Tauriel whispered, making sure he heard. Legolas turned to her with a look of confusion.
"You know that orcs never keep their word and you still chose to negotiate with them!" She paused, glaring at him, then, the elleth became somber and looked down at her feet.
"There are only two types of stupid people on the world..." she continued quietly, "those that have mental issues and...those that are in love."
Legolas said nothing, but gave a deep sigh. "I'm sorry." he said.
Tauriel didn't budge nor responded. Her face remained somber. "I...I wasn't able to control myself," he said, "I let my pride get the best of me when I knew what really did matter." He gave another sigh. "You." he whispered. Tauriel slowly turned to the prince and eyed him. "I'm sorry that I got you into this mess, I'm sorry that they were able to hurt you..." he said, "but most of all...I'm sorry I hurt you when you didn't deserve it."
"Legolas." said Tauriel suddenly, and the ellon turned his head slowly into her direction.
"Legolas I..." she said, hesitating, "I want to tell you that I will always look out for your wellbeing."
"Why's that?" he asked, a hint of hope in his voice.
"Because you are my prince...it is my duty to."
Tauriel replied,and Legolas' face fell a little. A quiet "Oh." escaped his lips and he replied that he will do the same for her...because he was the prince, and it is his duty to look out for the wellbeing of his subjects. Tauriel's face fell as well...but she tried not to show it.
