[A Wattpad FEATURED story!] She's been King Thranduil's close friend for a long time. But when a shocking rumor about his past comes to light, it shakes her entire world. How well does she really know him? With the threat of war and an uncertain future for the Woodland Realm, her comfortable life is changing forever, and so are her feelings for her friend. A story about second chances with eventual romance. Set during the events of the Lord of the Rings. Thranduil/OC Disclaimer: Everything belongs to Tolkien except for my characters. A/N: It was before Christmas 2014 when I first watched BBC's Emma with Romola Garai (wonderful, by the way - watch it if you haven't). A few days later I went to see The Hobbit BOTFA on its opening night. It was during a car trip from a family Christmas party when I came up with idea for this story. And while it doesn't follow the Jane Austen classic completely (Thranduil is no Mr. Knightley!), it was certainly inspired by it. I enjoyed the challenge. Check out the FB page for the story: facebook.com/StarsofVardafanpage/ (thanks to @MaggieShivers for creating it and running it!)

She had been mistaken for a witch, captured by Thranduil and thrown into prison, her fate lies in the hands of a handsome elf, with the help of his friend the ranger can they save her in time? "Legolas studied her as he knelt down next to Aragorn. Her wrists were red and bruised from the rope that had bound her. She had cuts and scratches up her forearms were she had been fighting off the Orcs. Her forehead was bruised and she had a cut above her right eye. She lay there beautiful and motionless, he thought she was dead."
