A special gift and an unexpected discovery (Legolas fanfic)

Chapter 6

Legolas pov

These past few weeks I have had to go around and help bring order back to mirkwood and keep the spiders away from the village and palace. our captain of the guard,tauriel, has been the most helpful. Most of my missions I have taken Tauriel with me and we have known each other since my mother took her in. my mother was a vet compassionate elleth and when there was a fire at one of the houses, she was in the village and was able to make it out of the house with a 500 year old elleth and I was only 1,500 years old. my mother raised her like her own child. Tauriel was orphaned because of that fire and she was veiwed as a sister for a while but eventually a spark of interest flew between us but those few days I spent with Val also brought an interesting spark of its own. I helped her and she wanted to be independent but didn't push me away either which I was grateful for. though I hope that she is better and is happy to be with her family. though she would probably forget me by now and there is a good chance that I would never cross her path again.

Tauriel= T

T- is something bothering you, Legolas?
L- no just thinking of when I got captured by the orcs.
T- that must have been terrible, thank the elder that the trackers found you and that poor girl must have been such a hassle to get her out too.
L- while I agree that it was only a bump in the road, but she was, powerful, independent, and very beautiful.

With that note we continued through the forest and tracked down the spider infestation.

Val pov

This week marks my second week in lorien and I can say that I fit in quite nicely. everyday I head down to the training area to get more hits in when it's late I join my grandmother for dinner every night and it is a good life. Though because it is a place of peace there is still a training area which I go to everyday. today of all days, a certain new elloth has decided to show up with his group of freinds.
Random boy elf=rbe

Rbe- well, well, well, what do we have here? A girly trying to fight? Pathetic.

I ignored him and took out my bow with my quiver and drew back the string of the bow. I let it go and it hit the middle of the target an I did the same with the next six arrows.

V- guess I can look good an fight?
Rbe- fine, lets fight hand to hand.
V- fine with me.

I got out my two daggers and bent my knees and we circled around each other. he jabbed at my left side and I blocked it and hit him in the nose with my elbow. I steadied my blades again and he swung but I blocked the first blade and the second one flung up and left a scratched from my cheekbone to near the top of my ear. I counteracted the next round of swings and bent my spine back as two blades crossed at where's neck was and I twisted his blades an kicked them away from him. he was now on his knees and my blade at his throat.

V- I can't fight, huh?
Rbe- you win, I apologize.

I realized that I spent most of my day training and I got back and changed to take a little time to walk around. I changed into a blue dress with a green middle on it. I walked around and I found many trails. suddenly, haldir jumps out of a tree and almost have me a heart attack.

V- geez, haldir! You scared me!
H- sorry Val, just keeping watch up here.
V- it's fine, anything out of the ordinary?
H- yeah though King Thranduil, sent a messenger saying that his son was coming to retrieve something of the kings.
V- who is his son?
H- prince legolas.
V- wait, what?

At that moment my entire world came crashing down.
