A/N: I have decided to write another chapter to this story because I am having fun writing this and I want to carry on I don't know if I am going to write another chapter because people aren't leaving feedback so I don't know if my writing is good or bad so I am going to assume that it is not a good thing and people aren't liking my stories so if nobody likes them, I wont write them so if you do like them, please tell me! Bye, purple5901 xx

DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything to do with The Hobbit or the Lord of the Rings (but I really wish I did)

I didn't know what I felt when I walked back to the castle, but I did feel something. It was a mix of love and confusion. Had I really just kissed Tauriel? I thought to myself as I walked alongside her on my way back to the castle. I chanced a glance at her and then I really wish I hadn't because her long, fiery red hair and flawless porcelain skin. I looked at her face and took in the perfect beauty of her cheekbones, slanting at just the right angle the curve her cheeks perfectly and her mouth. Her beautiful cherry red lips that mine had been on just minutes before. I felt the urge to lean over and kiss her again but I resisted as we were close to the castle now. Very close indeed. I could see the heavy wooden gates but to my dismay, they were shut. When I realized this, I ran up to them, startling Tauriel until she realized what was wrong. She came to help me try to open the door but it was very much locked.

"Looks like we will be spending the night out here, prince" Tauriel said to me and she turned to face me. I could see that she did not like the idea of sleeping on the muddy ground.

"Come with me," I told her and turned to run. I led her to my old tree house, not far from the castle but it was hidden away from any spies. I had a few things there like blankets and water, just in case of emergencies. I handed her a blanket and a bottle of water.

"Here," I said to her as I tossed them in her direction. I heard her mumble a small word of thanks and she sat down, back against the wall, blanket around her shoulders.

"I would get some sleep, Tauriel. We have a long day of training ahead of us tomorrow," I said to her, without turning to face her. I heard her slip down the wall, until she was lying on the floor and she covered herself with the blanket. I did them same, but I lay on the opposite side of the tree house.

After a while I heard her give a small shiver. I lifted my head to find her shivering ever so slightly under her blanket.

"Are you cold?" I asked her.

"Only a little, but ill warm up in a second," she replied. I lay my had back down again and closed my eyes.

I tried and tried and tried, but I could not sleep. I may have had something to do with the figure lying not far from me. I heard her teeth start to chatter and looking to find her shivering noticeably. I got up and wrapped my blanket around her and then went back to my side of the tree house.

"Thank you," she said.

"Your welcome" I replied and I closed my eyes once more only to have them opened again by the sound of teeth chattering again. Is Tauriel still cold? I wondered to myself. I looked up at the sky. No wonder I thought when I saw the sky above. I lifted my head to look at Tauriel once again to find that she was shaking quite violently and her lips had turned a startling shade of blue.

"Are you cold?" I asked her again.

"A little," she replied. I got up and walked over to her and wrapped one of her hands in mine and gasped when I felt how cold they were.

"Tauriel, you're freezing," I said to her. "Move over a little."

She shifted under the two blankets and I climbed under with her. I lay down on the floor and I pulled her down with me. I wrapped my arms around her to try to warm her.

Soon her shivering subsided and her lips turned red again. I went to stand up but she caught hold of my wrist.

"Stay. Stay with me," she whispered. I was hesitant for a moment but then I lay back down under the blankets. She rolled onto her back and soon she fell asleep. I lay next to her, listening to her steady breathing. She rolled onto her side and wrapped her arms around my waist and then her head found its way to rest upon my chest. I coughed quietly but not quietly enough not to wake her.

"Legolas? Are you ok?" she asked me sleepily.

"Yes, im ok. Go back to sleep," I told her. She leaned down and gave me a gentle kiss on my lips.

"Thanks you for not leaving me" she said. I leaned up and gave her a longer, more lingering kiss.

"I will never leave you," I replied when we broke apart. And it was true.
