Neemas POV

I continued to fight very much displeasing the king. I didn't care that he was mad I actually saved him! Don't ask me why but yeah I saved him! Just as I turn to get a better view of what else is going on when I am hit to the ground.

"Hello Belowin. Remember me?!" Am elleth yells at me as she holds me against the ground.

OK she thinks I am Bel that is a good thing. I struggle trying to get out of her grasp. Man for an elleth she is strong.

"Neema!" I hear Bels voice call out to me.

The elleth sees Bel then looks back at me and I can tell she is mad knowing that we tricked her.

"Then who are you?!" The elleth yells at me.

"Not Bel." I say as I headbutt her and she stumbles off of me.

I stand up and can see the elleth start to try and run twords Bel. I jump and grab her wrestling her to the ground.

Belowins POV

I watched as the elleth started my way but then Neema jumps on her and takes her to the ground.

"Guards arrest that elleth and any other creatures that remain!" The king yells out.

A guard goes to grab the elleth when she takes out a small dagger and is about to stab Neema.

"Neema look out!" I yell at her.

Neema stands in shock but Haldir quickly pulls her a way from the elleth and into his arms. The guards then cuff the elleth.

"Take her to the dungeon." The king directs the guards.

I look and can see Neemas dress was torn and filthy. She did exactly what she said she would. Neema looks up at Haldir and thanks him but he doesnt release her.

"Finally I can sleep with both eyes closed tonight." I say with a sigh of relief.

Thank the valar no one was harmed at least. Thranduil walks off with some guards as I walk up to Neema and Haldir with Legolas beside me.

"So you are a princess now right? I didn't go through all this for nothing right." Neema tells me as I notice she still hasn't separated herself from Haldir.

I nodded at her. Everything went according to plan. While Neema distracted everyone I was coronated in a secret location. Now I was the one and only Princess of Mirkwood.

"Yes, everything is fine now. Though I can only imagine what sentence the king will pass on the elleth." I say as I feel Legolas come and hug me.

"The king is wise, whatever the punishment for the elleth is will be well deserved." Haldir says speaking up.

He was right, this elleth put us through so much chaos I was just glad now it was over. Still that didn't explain why the humans helped her attack the elves.

"If you would excuse me I would like to get out of this torn dress." Neema says as she starts to walk off.

"I shall escort you." Haldir says as he follows Neema.

I can already tell something is going on between those two. A part of me wondered if Neema would have just listened to uncle and went with her arranged marriage would she have been happy with Haldir?

"Seems like they are getting along well." Legolas says.

"Yes, perhaps Neema will finally settle down."

Neemas POV

After washing myself and changing into a normal non formal dress I decided yo try and find Bel. I just wanted to make sure she was OK.

I turn the corner and see a certain king who I almost wish I had let become injured or worse.

"Neema, a word." He says with a stern voice.

As if I had a choice. I nod and follow him into another chamber. Something told me that whatever he was going to tell me wasn't going to be good.

"Elleth would you care to explain to me why you disobeyed a direct order from the king?" He asks as we come face to face.

Oh this king was such a pain! How my sister could stand to stay here with the likes of him is beyond me.

"I disobeyed your order your majesty so you would not become injured. Forgive me for unknowingly saving an ungrateful king!" I yell back at him.

"In front of my guards! I am the king and you will obey me!" He yells back.

"I am not a guard, nor am I a slave. I will follow my own path even if that means disobeying royalty." I tell him a I lower my voice more or less giving him a warning.

"You seem to act before you think."

"It was that decision making skill that helped me save you." I say as I hold my ground.

The king doesn't say anything but turns and walks away from me. I release a breath I didn't realize I was holding.

"Neema?" I hear Haldir's voice call out to me.

I turn and before my head can tell me not to I rush into Haldirs arms. I didn't understand how one ellon could be so ungrateful like the king. Then others were calm and caring like Haldir.

"I see you have had words with the king." He tells me as I feel him wrap his arms around me.

"He is so ungrateful I save him and he has the nerve to scold me for it! As if I were a child!" I say as I lean on him.

"You were brave but the king is used to anyone doing whatever he says. Then you come along and show that you don't obey his orders. I would say it shocked him and he doesn't know how to deal with you."

I know that Haldir has a point. I just sigh trying to calm myself.

"Have you seen Bel? I wanted to make sure she was alright."

"I believe her and Legolas went somewhere together but I don't know where.' Haldir answers.

" Well I want to go find her, will you come with me Haldir?" I ask him.

He smiles and nods at me. Side by side we go to look for my sister and Legolas.
