I just need a little love (Thorin Oakenshield love story!)

Chapter 1

I was fighting Orcs North of the Lonely Mountains with my best friend, Legolas. We were outnumbered by sixty of so Orcs. We were surrounded.

"Give us the girl, and we will let you go!" one of the orcs snarl at Legolas, pointing to me.

"Never!" he hisses.

"As you wish!" the orc leader cried. "ATTACK! BRING ME THE GIRL ALIVE!"

Legolas started shooting arrows everywhere, trying to push me behind him. I whipped out my bow and started shooting Orcs too.

Suddenly, an Orc came behind be out of nowhere and pinned my arms behind my back, forcing my bow and arrows out of my hand. I tried to kick him, but he was to strong.

"I've got her!!!" The Orc holding me, shouted.

"NO!" screamed Legolas, trying to make his way towards me.

"LEGOLAS! GO! GO BEFORE THEY GET YOU TO!!" I scream.

But he didn't listen. He was hitting and barging through Orcs, trying to get to me. The leader appeared out of nowhere.

"LEGOLAS! BEHIND YOU!" I shout.

But it was too late. The Orc leader slit Legolas's throat and left him on the dirt, his blood spilling everywhere.

"NOOOO! NO!" I screamed, tears pouring down my cheeks. "LEGOLAS!"

The Head Orc came towards me and grabbed my chin roughly, forcing me to look into his eyes. "Your coming with us. We've got you now, Princess and nobody can help you!"

Then everything went black.

"LEGOLAS!" I scream, bolting upright.

Sweat was pouring down my arms, my red hair was sticking to my face. My eyes flicker around me. I was in my bed, not in a forest surrounded with Orcs. It had just been a nightmare.

I rub my eyes. It had seemed sooo real!

"Rosa? Are you alright?" my father's (Lord Elrond) worried voice came outside the bedroom door.

"Im fine father! Just a nightmare!" I mutter the last part.

"Alright! Get ready quickly! Legolas and King Thranduil are waiting for you downstairs!" he replies.

"Yep! Okay!" I shout back.

I hear footsteps showing he has walked away from my door.

Now, your probably wondering where Legolas and Thranduil came from. I mean, they come from Mirkwood and my father and I come from Rivendell. Of course, they're both Elf kingdoms, but they're a days journey apart.

My father and I came to visit Mirkwood yesterday. My father was best friends with Thranduil. Ive known Legolas since we were two year olds.

Of course, my sister Awren, came too! She's such a beautiful elf with dark hair and plump, rosy lips. Ive always wanted to look at her, but Awren has always commented on my so call 'beauty'. I have no beauty in me, just like im not like a Princess. Awren is the pretty Princess around here. Any man would fall for her.

Meanwhile, I have wavy, red hair coming down to my waist, green eyes and a disgusting green dress. Awren and my father think the dress is 'beautiful', but I think it's horrid! Plus, I hate wearing dresses.

I climbed out of bed and slipped a pair of brown boots, black trousers, a white blouse and a brown jacket on. I combed my red hair and tucked it behind my pointed Elf ears. I slung my bow over my shoulder, opened the door and made my way downstairs to look for my father, Thranduil and Legolas.

After a few minutes, I found all three of them in the dining hall, having a chat. They never noticed my appearance, so I gave a little cough to show I was there. Thranduil turned around to look at me.

"Ahh Rosa! Stunning as usual?!" he asked with a smile on his face.

"Errr?????...." I mumbled.

What was going on? Thranduil never acted like this and Legolas looked a tiny bit......Guilty? My father was the only one who looked calm.

Noticing their odd actions, I ask, "Umm.......What have I done now?"

Just at that moment, Awren came into the hall. She was wearing a shimmering, silver dress, just like father had asked her. Her black hair was shining. However, she was avoiding eye contact with me......Strange....

"Sister? Are you alright?" I ask cautiously.

Then, my other best friend, Tauriel, burst into the room.

I groan. "Aww! Come on! Do I really need an audience?"

Father ignores my last sarcastic statement. "Rosa......I need you to do something for me!"

"Err.....Okay??" I ask, uncertainty.

"After the whole 'Orc incident' the other day, we think it would be best if you stay inside the castle!" Thranduil says.

"WHAT!!!!!?????" I shout.

"It's for your own good Rosa!" Father exclaimed.

Look.....I know the 'Orc incident' was not according to plan. Instead of luring them away from Mirkwood, I managed to get myself stabbed in the hip. But that's not the point!

"But that's not fair! You know I like to hunt down Orcs!" I rage.

"Rosa! You almost got yourself killed the other day and it would have been entirely my fault for not protecting you well enough!" Legolas says softly.

I turned on him angrily. "YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS TOO AND YOU LET THEM DO THIS TO ME? I DONT need any protection! I can protect myself!"

"Oh, yeah! Like when you got stabbed?" Tauriel says sarcastically.

I glare at her. "Not helping Tauriel! Whose side are you on anyway?"

"Im not on a side, but we don't want the Princess to die just fighting off a couple of Orcs do we? Just be a good girl for once and stay here!"

"Grrr! Who cares if I die? We've still got Awren to be heir to the throne! I don't want to be some Princess! I don't want to rule!!!! I just want to be a normal elf without a father bossing me around every 2 minutes!" I shriek.

Awren put her hands up in defence. "Don't you dare bring me into this!"

My eyes were fire.

"Rosa, just calm down!" Legolas says softly.

"DONT YOU DARE TELL ME WHAT TO DO LEGOLAS GREENLEAF! I MAY DO WHAT I PLEASE! I AM NOT SPENDING THE WHOLE OF MY LIFE LOCKED UP IN A ROOM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!"" I shout and with that, I stomped out the hall. Out the corner of my eye, I saw Tauriel, Awren and Legolas looking at me sadly.

"Where do you think you're going?" I hear my father shout.

"TO MY ROOM! THATS WHERE IM STAYING FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE ANYWAY! WHY WOULD YOU CARE? ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS LOCK ME UP UNDER BOLT AND KEY!" I scream back.

I stomp to my room, slam the door (making sure my father would here me) and let silent tears fall down my cheeks.

What was wrong with me? Why did I say all those horrid things to my father? I don't know why, but mark my words, im going to escape my father before you can say, "Mirkwood!".....
