Alive

Chapter 7

Kili called me around five saying his uncle knew about us. His uncle didn't like it but he really didn't care, apparently he had more important matters to attend. Thranduil on the other hand hated this fact. He wouldn't stop thinking about it. I tried to tell him that I would be okay but that didn't change anything. He would always be cautious whenever he around. But that didn't really stop anything. Kili took me on little dates here and there which was nice. But it all changed after the day I got off crutches.
Around three I heard a knock and I knew who it was. "Hey Kili." I say giving him a hug. "Hey I want to ask you something." He says nervously. It's cute when he is nervous. He tries not to act like it but his plan fails. "Okay sure." I say. "Will you go on a date with me?" He blurts out. "Of course Kili." I say. "No I mean like a real date. Maybe a dinner date?" He ask. I giggle. He looks at me with those puppy eyes hoping I would say yes. "Yes." I say. Why does he always remind me of a dog? I mean if you just look into his puppy like eyes you see a dog. He gives a smile and hugs me tight. I wrap my arms around him thinking 'he has to be so nervous.' He never hugs me like this. "Great, we will have dinner on Friday. What time should I pick you up?" He ask. "Seven." I say. He smiles and we say goodbye.
I go inside trying not to scream. "Who was that?" Legolas ask. "Kili." I respond. "What did he want?" He ask again. I then scream uncontrollably and Legolas looks at me like I've lost my freaking mind. "What the hell?" He says looking at me odd. "He asked me out on a date." I scream. "Okay why should I be concerned?" He ask. I roll my eyes. "Sometimes I really wish you were my sister." I tell him. He rolls his eyes and walks off. I then run to my room and call Arwen. "Hey!" I scream. "What happened?!" She ask so eager. "Kili asked me out on a real date." I say. She screams and then I scream. "I'm so happy!" I say. "Me too!" She replies. This is why Arwen is like a sister I never had, she always supports me and screams when there's something good. "So when is it?" Arwen ask. "Friday night." I say. "Awesome I'll come over and do your make up." She says and hangs up. 'Friday night is tomorrow.' I think. Where has the week gone?
I get up and head in the living room where Thranduil is waiting for me. "Tauriel, why are you going on a date with Kili?" He ask. "Because we are going out." I say. I can tell he is becoming insane, you can see it in his eyes. "Dad, why do you hate them?" I ask. "Believe it or not we use to be royalty. But his grandfather killed my father and took over." He tells me. 'Has he gone mad?' I think. "Dad? We are not Royal." I say. "Yes we are. It happened a long time ago." Thranduil speaks up. I nod and try not to tell him he is absolutely insane. What has he been thinking? That I'm going to become queen with Kili and run off the this land? It's not fantasy.
I walk out of the room and sit on the porch and try to rethink my thoughts. What will I wear tomorrow? Maybe my dark green dress? But where are we going? Ugh this is hard. I push that aside and text Eowyn and she is excited about the date. She and Arwen are both coming over, I won't be surprised if Galadriel comes too.

The next day around five Arwen, Eowyn, and Galadriel come over. "Okay you officially have nothing in your closet." Arwen says. "That's why we all have dresses for you to try on." Eowyn adds. I get up and try on the first dress. It's a dark blue and puffy. Very puffy. "No." They all say. I try on the next and its a dark green that goes all the way down. I personally love it. "That's so beautiful on you!" Galadriel says. "I love it." I say. "Then it's settled. Galadriel will do your hair and I will do your make up." Says Arwen. They push me into a chair and Galadriel curls the ends of my red hair. Arwen does a natural look with a hint of green eye shadow. "All done!" Arwen says. I look in the mirror and I'm nothing like myself. I'm not that girl who I was an hour or so ago. I am totally different now. "Thank you." I say hugging their necks. They both did an amazing job. "You're welcome. I think he's here." Arwen said. "Yes he is!" Eowyn replied. I smile with confidence, I'm not that girl at school. I am Tauriel.
