Anastasia | Thranduil

A Woodland Stroll and a Warning

  Anastasia's POV 

It had been two full weeks since my return to Mirkwood. Thranduil is being overprotective and refuses to let me go into the forest without at least three guards or himself (of course I sneak out anyways, only to get caught). Lauren has been as chatty as usual and I am starting to tire of her hyperness. How can one body contain that much energy without exploding? She will talk to me rapidly all night whenever she gets the chance and I haven't been getting the greatest amount of sleep but hey, I'm still alive. 

Phantom spends most days hunting and Eclipse can now walk and run around with little limp in her strides. I was currently in the throne room again, confronting Thranduil. Not willingly this time, as I have just been caught once again trying to sneak into the forest. There are just so many guards around its nearly impossible to get by unnoticed.

"Why must you continue to try going into the woods? It is not safe there," Thranduil stated, waving away the two elves that had dragged me in here.

They bowed respectfully and left me alone with an aggravated king.

"I hate being stuck in the castle. It gets boring after a while and I really want to go on a flight with Phantom." I replied.

"You'd be caught and killed by spiders."

"Do you truly believe I cannot fight them? Do you doubt my abilities my King," I spat.

I was tired of being locked in a castle ans was beginning to wish I had never returned, Thranduil is always busy and as of now I'm stuck here.

"No but there is always a chance you will be killed and it's not a risk I'm willing to take."

"That is not your decision!"

"It is my decision, I am your king!" he yelled, rushing down the steps to his throne and towards me until he was close to me.

I stepped back a bit, staring at him with wide eyes.

"You're not my king Thranduil. You are A king, but not mine," I hissed before turning and walking straight out of the room.

My feet brought me back up to my room where Eclipse was standing, wagging her tail. She was quite a friendly wolf but so far she only really seems to like me and as selfish as that sounds, it's true.

"I'm going out for a walk, want to come?" I chuckled.

She barked once and nodded her head in excitement.

"Alright then, that's a yes."
