The Gathering Storm. The Hobbit fanfic. A Thorin Oakenshield love story.

Chapter 6: The Kiss Take Two.

Just pretend that the person in the kiss photo above is actually Thorin. I don't feel like maniping the photo right now.

A couple weeks had pasted since their kiss and Taryn and Thorin had hardly been able to see each other. Either Thorin was too busy with his Prince duties or Taryn wasn't able to ditch her guards and/or her father. Thranduil had made good on his promise of her not being aloud to see Thorin again.

If he wasn't with her, he made sure at least two of their guards were. And if she was alone in her room, at least one guard would stand watch at her door. She was never able to lose them for long.

The only time the two of them were able to see each other was if the elves joined the dwarves for a meal. But they did not join them for every meal every day. And even when they did eat meals together, it wasn't like Thorin got to speak to Taryn.

By now the whole kingdom knew about their kiss. Thranduil had told King Thrór and Prince Thráin, just like he had promised to. Rumors spread all over Erebor, even to the city of Dale that the dwarf Prince and Elven Princess had been caught kissing.

Thorin's father and grandfather were upset about it at first. But they were much more accepting than Thranduil. Thranduil had tried to tell Taryn it was because of their age difference, but she knew the truth. He had already told her it was because Thorin was not an Elf.

Thorin was hating this, he longed to see her again and actually be able to talk with her. He still had not been able to take her on the tour of the kingdom and he really wanted to show her the gardens. With Taryn being an elf and elves loving nature, he knew Taryn would love Erebor's gardens.

Taryn's POV:

After almost two weeks of being bored out of her mind Taryn had enough of it. She either was stuck spending time in her room or had her baby sitters aka Laeron and Feredir her guards follow her around. She was even hardly aloud a minute to her self.

It was driving her crazy, because for one she sick of being followed like a child and two she missed Thorin. She just wanted to be able to see him and spend some time with him. She didn't care about the romantic parts, okay that was a lie. She could not stop thinking about how he kissed her.

They weren't even able to talk about it or what it meant. She had to ditch her baby sitters some how.

Later that day her father had invited her to eat lunch with him in his chambers. His room was larger and had a little sitting area. But Taryn was still pissed at him and didn't want to look at him or talk to him. She had denied his quest and decided just to eat alone in her own room. She had a some what of a plan to ditch the two idiots watching over her.

After she finished her meal, she slowly stood up and walked to her door. She opened it slowly with the tray in her hand. She was instantly greeted by idiot number one Feredir.

"Good afternoon your Highness," he said as he bowed to her.

"Good afternoon Feredir," she said with a stern look on her face.

Feredir just smiled as he noticed the tray in her hands.

"Where are you going with that?" He asked her curiously for he could follow her.

"Oh I just finished my meal, so I was going to take this back to the kitchen. Then the dwarves servants don't have to go all around the kingdom to collect them." She said with a slight smile on her face.
