Love's Timeless (Legolas and Tauriel)

Chapter 5

Tauriel's POV

We were back inside the castle and we were soaked. Legolas was carrying me and I felt ashamed because Ariana, Tara and Thranduil were staring at us.
"Father, she is injured. I need to- "put that filthy Silvan elf down right now. Aren't you ashamed of yourself, you Silvan elf? You are very lowly and you asked a Prince to carry you?" Ariana interrupted.

"I- I- " "You should be ashamed of yourself Ariana! She is my bestfriend and you have to treat her with respect! Ego, mibo orch!"
"No Legolas, it's okay." I said. I propped myself down from him but didn't want to let go. But he had to. I fell down and he tried to help but I gestured him to leave me. I got myself up and limped up the stairs and held onto the railing very firmly; it hurt to fall anymore.

I heard Legolas trying to come behind me but King Thranduil stopped him. He did want to be embaressed anymore especially by his son.

I went upstairs and locked the door. I took a quick bath and put back my blue dress on again. I sat leaned against the door, and started to cry. What was happening? Why did it hurt so much? If I ran away, I would never forgive myself.

Legolas' POV

I felt a rage burning up inside of me. Why would I marry Ariana if she insults my true love. I had to do something. I decided that I would go up to Tauriel's room when everyone was asleep.

It was dinner time now, and I thought that Tauriel might be getting hungry, so I got a small handkerchief and put some of my Lemma into it along with some beans and vegetables. At dinner, everyone was having a delightful time-everyone except me.

"Oh Thranduil, why do you keep that filthy Silvan elf in your castle? You even give her a room to sleep." Said Tara. I got very angry. I wanted to go and hug Tauriel. She must be so embaressed, that she hasn't come down. "Honestly, she is very ugly for a Silvan elf. Did you see that blue dress she was wearing? It doesn't suit her at all. That's probably the best thing she has in her closet." Said Ariana. "If she has a closet." "Hahahahahahaha" Tara And Ariana were laughing so hard, I actually felt sorry for them. They were making fools of themselves.

"Anyways, she should have died there in the forest; it would have been good for her." I wanted to punch Ariana and her mother in the face. My face was turning red with anger. "My my, Ariana, you cannot marry a man with a load of temper." "Yes mother, you are right."

"Fine then, don't marry me. I never wanted to marry you in the first place." I blurted out. My father looked so angry, he looked like he was going to kill me. "I assure you Lady Tara, Legolas is just doing that because he is not feeling very well." My father gave me a very stern look. "Well then, you should best hope it does not happen again, or me and my daughter will never step into this kingdom again."

No one spoke after that. I did't even look up, but out the corner of my eye, I could see that Ariana was trying to beat her lashes at me.

Tauriel's POV

I had been here for hours. I didn't know and didn't want to know what was going on downstairs. My eyes were now red from crying so much.
I could fully hear all the insults that were being said about me. Maybe a little rest could make my eyes look less red.

I wiped my eyes and laid down. I just thought about Legolas. I just thought why he did all that, even though he knew how angry his father would get and how Tara and Ariana would insult him.

I was just about to doze off when I heard a knock on the door. I quietly crept towards it and looked under. It was his shoes. I knew them anywhere because I had made them for him.

I opened the door before I could even think. I saw his beautiful face, half covered by darkness. He saw me and his slight smile faded away. "Tauriel, I- "thank you for saving my life.' "Can I come in?" "Oh, yes, please I forgot.

Legolas sat on my bed. I sat right beside him looking down at the ground, but he was looking at me.  He handed me a cloth which was wrapped up. I opened it up and there was food in there. Hantanyal' He was watching me eat" Tauriel, I say we run away." I looked him surprised. "Are you hearing what you are saying?" 'Yes. Completely. But that is the only way we can be together." "No, I can't do that. You are supposed to be the next heir. You cannot give up on your people like that just to be with a Silvan elf like I.

"Tauriel, please. Fine, lets not run away but my plan can still work about making Ariana think I am not right for her. That way, I will convince my father about you and you can be Queen of Mirkwood.

"I don't know.

Legolas POV

I looked into her eyes. They were so worn out and dull and red. I couldn't look at her this.Melin tirië hendutya sílalë yá lalat.  I put my arm around her for comfort and she laid on my shoulder. "Ow, my burn, it really hurts." she said while taking her head off my shoulder. I got a jar of ointment that you use on burns and rubbed it on her. She kind of still had pain in her but she managed. She laid back on my shoulder.

Hantanyel. Amin mella lle, Legolas

Amin mella lle, Tauriel

She fell fast asleep and I laid her down on her bed and tucked her. I kissed her forehead and left her room.

"What are you doing" asked Tara.

Elvish Language:

Mellan - friend

Amin mella lle- I love you

Melin tirië hendutya sílalë yá lalat - I love to see your eyes shine when you laugh

Hantanyel - Thank you

Ego, mibo orc - go kiss an orc
