For the Love of a King (Thranduil love story)

Memory

(Time Jump to Mirkwood)

We were wandering through Mirkwood and we lost the path after gandalf told us not ot lose it. Suddenly I was stuck by a spider but it didn't affect me.  I saw papa we had to fight off the spiders and free the dwarves. 

"What do you want to do papa I get the dwarves you got the spiders?" I asked.

"Sounds good let's go!" Papa replied and I slashed at the webbing and freed the dwarves but the spiders became too much and Papa was nowhere to be found. Suddenly elves elaped from the trees and a blonde one pulled an arrow near Thorin's face.

"Do not think I won't kill you dwarf." He said he seemed so familiar. "It would be my pleasure. Search them!" They took everything I only had my bow and my sword and quiver. They took my necklace as well. It was a leaf

"Please don't that was my only possession from my old life." I begged.

"I'm sorry but I must." The blonde elf said. Maybe he was only nice to me because I was an elf. He then took Thorin's sword. He wasn't a liar and I hated that he was calling Thorin these things. We were being brought to the halls of the palace of the king of Mirkwood. I was thrown in the dungeons with everyone else. Thorin stayed up there. When he was brought down the blonde elf came to my door.

"The king wishes to see you Barawen." He said.

"How do you know my name?" I asked.

"You shall soon see. I am Legolas the prince all will come to you soon. Here I was told to return this to you." He said and I smiled. 

"Thank you." I said and I put it back around my neck. We walked upstairs and I saw the king.

"Thank you Legolas you may go. I wish to speak to her alone." He said.

"Yes Ada." Legolas said and left the throne room. The king walked up to me and put his hand on my hip suddenly a memory came to.

"You are so beautiful Barawen. I want you to have this." Thranduil said and put the necklace around my neck.

"Thranduil I cannot possibly accept this. It is too beautiful for the likes of me." I replied.

"Nonsense. I love you Barawen my fiery maiden. I shall always love you no matter what." He said and kissed me passionately. I was overwhelmed with desire and I wanted to take him then and there. 

"My love we cannot do this until we are married." I said.

"I know my love." He replied.

When I came to I was in Thranduil's arms. I must've fainted.

"I am so sorry My Lord." I said.

"What's my name? I know you know."He asked setting me down.

"Thranduil. We were engaged to be wed. You gave me this necklace which is why your son gave it back to me. I get glimpses of the past sometimes you just triggered one. I saw the memory of you giving me this. What happened to me?" I asked.

"You were wounded in a battle. We thought you were dead." 

"So you left? I crawled to the shire where a hobbit took me in.  He was like a father to me you left me to die Thranduil?" 

"I was tricked they told me you would not make it through the night! To let you pass! I wasn't thinking at the time. I'm sorry and I still love you. Stay with me leave the dwarves and the company and we can be together again."

"I can't leave them Thranduil. My father is with them." 

"The half-ling is not your father." 

"I know that but he's the closest thing that I had left before I found you again! So you can throw me in your dungeons but I will not leave my father to the wrath of a dragon."

"You do not have to go back to the dungeons and I'll give you your bow and your blade. There is a room for you."

"Thank you Thranduil.  In time I will return but that half-ling he's dear to my heart and I couldn't bear it if I lost him." 

"I understand. Rest you may leave when you wish." He said and he lead me to my room. It was already night and the stars were out. It was beautiful more improtantly I had gotten a memory back that could trigger the rest of them soon and I hoped that it would.
