SoulBlind

Chapter 11

"Color..." I muttered.

I barely noticed Thorin look up at me. Thranduil's eyes widened as he looked at me with those beautiful eyes. For a moment it was like I couldn't breathe as color seemed to spill out onto everything. I stuttered a second, trying to find words but couldn't. So I started dusting myself off.

Thranduil simply smirked. Oh god that smirk, it could stop my heart. He approached and took my hand, pulling me forward. God his hand was so warm. I never took my eyes off his. I couldn't. This...was probably the best coma dream ever.

"I have waited a long time or you, my love." Thranduil said, his voice melting my heart like butter.

"Don't touch her!" Thorin growled.

Thorins voice had pulled my attention, but I couldn't shake this feeling. A warm bubbly feeling. I just couldn't bring myself to pull away from Thranduil even though I knew I should.

"Take the dwarves to the dungeons. Except for Thorin. I wish to speak to him." Thranduil said before waving someone over. "Why don't you take her to get cleaned up. And do be careful with her, she is my soulmate."

The elven woman seemed a bit shocked, and her eyes bled jealousy as she looked me over. But she said nothing and bowed before she waved for me to follow her. I almost complied, taking a step forward. But then I stopped.

"I can't..." I physically hurt to say it. To go against Thranduil, like being his soulmate made me predisposed to do what he wants. To want what he wants.

Thorin smirked.

"Why?" Thranduil asked. The look on his face a mix of hurt, curiosity, and genuine interest in what I wanted.

"Well it seems to me Andriel simply doesn't want to stay with you. She is.." Thorin started.

"Andriel?" Thranduil practically moaned my name, making my chest flutter.

"I...they are my friends. They simply wish to reach the mountain so they can take back they're home. We..." I had to look down before I lost track of what I was saying. "We were just passing through. We meant no harm, you should just let them...us...go."

"I may...be persuaded to let them go. But not you. I have waited far too long for you." Thranduil said lifting my chin to look at him. "Now please go get cleaned up. I won't have my queen looking so disheveled."

I lost all resolve in that moment. My queen? Was he serious? The elven woman practically dragged me away because I just couldn't think straight. Once we rounded a corner to enter a hall the woman spoke.

"Gather yourself won't you. I don't want to have to bathe you like child." The woman said with a condescending tone.

I glared at her but said nothing. With Thranduil out of view I managed to collect a few of my thoughts.

Thorin wasn't going to leave with out me and I know Thranduil to be stubborn enough to not let me go. So I needed to find Bilbo, or have Bilbo find me. He would get them out, I'd make sure of it. I don't know what I'd do next but I wouldn't be sitting here doing nothing. That was certain.
