It was late at night when I heard screams in the distance. I sat up in my bed immediately and looks around. No one was there but I trusted my instincts. I quickly got up and got dressed. Finally I grabbed my bow and started out into the forest. It took some time to get there but then I saw it Orc's things I had only fought once before and the first question that came to my mind was why are they here?

I look around and see the elves fighting most of them being knocked to the ground as I see Legolas fighting as well. I try to sneak up to the front when an elf comes flying by me and into a tree. I turn around and recognize the elf as Tauriel. The Orc starts coming out way about to finish her off. As the Orc goes to grab her I come forward and stand before her with my sword drawn.

"Back off!" I yell at the creature.

"Puny elf, you think you can stop me?" I think is what it tried to say.

He comes forward and I start slashing at him with the sword making him back away but not very far. I haven't fought like this in a very long time and know I won't be able to for much longer. While fighting I look around to see if there is something out here I can use. I look behind me to the left and there is a cliff. I start to make my way over there making the orc think I am being defeated by him when on his last swing I roll out of the way and send him over the cliff.

"You saved me?" I hear Tauriel ask me.

I slowly stand up and dust myself up. Of course I had to save her though she may drive me crazy she is still a good warrior and no matter what she will always be a friend to Legolas.

"Yes, I did. Breaking an order the King gave me as well. I won't see you die out here, not like this." I tell her as I walk her way.

"I owe my life to you now, that orc would have killed me." she says looking me over.

"I think this is a discussion saved for another time, the other elves are still out there fighting." I tell her as I look back to the noise in the distance.

"Yes your majesty" she says with sincerity.

We go back to find the other elves chasing off the remainder of the orcs. That was quite a sight to see, I wonder why they left so quickly? Tauriel comes to my side and we both look out to find Legolas and the others coming up to us.

"No fighting you two. We have had enough of that tonight." Legolas says with his head down.

"She saved me Legolas." Tauriel tells him.

Legolas looks up surprised at her then looks at me confused.

"Belowin saved you Tauriel?" Legolas asks.

"Wow, you make it sound impossible." I tell him as I cross my arms.

"Not impossible, just surprising." he says as he comes to my side.

"It surprised me as well. Though we had better get back and report to your father." Tauriel says as she turns and starts walking away.

"I thought you hated her?" Legolas asks me.

"I hate no one, I may have not liked her but I was not going to sit by and let her die when I could help her." I tell him as I turn to walk away.

"You are surprising Belowin." Legolas says as he takes my hand and we start back to the palace.

The next day I am up and ready to do anything something to distract me when I walk pass the throne room and hear Legolas and his father talking. I lean in just to listen for a moment.

"I speak the truth father, Belowin saved Tauriel from death last night. She admitted it herself well they both did." Legolas says.

"Well my son, perhaps since this action happened things will be better between them." Thranduil says. "Thought this is surprising perhaps we did not see Belowin in this light before."

"Father, I believe perhaps Belowin and Tauriel could somehow become friends?" Legolas asks.

"I would not go too far there Legolas, Tauriel tried to make Belowin jealous. Just wait and let time pass we shall see then." Thranduil tells him.

"Can they see one another then?" he asks.

"If they wish to see one another they may but no more fighting. I mean it Legolas." Thranduil says.

I step away from the door. I walk out to the training grounds now with a purpose to find Tauriel. Just as I reach there she comes before me.

"Belowin, please accept my thanks for saving my life last night." she tells me.

"No thanks are needed. I am here to speak freely as I hope you will to me." I tell her.

"Of course, please tell me what you wish to speak about." Tauriel asks me.

"Legolas wants us to be friends, now I know we have done very mean things to one another but I hope we can see past that and for the sake of Legolas at least pretend to be friends." I tell her as we start to walk.

"I understand, Legolas is a dear friend. I know Legolas once thought of me as something more though I do not know if I did. I just did not want a stranger coming in and taking my friend." Tauriel explains to me. "I knew nothing of you then when you saved me my image of you completely changed. Perhaps I judged you too quickly."

"And I you, Now as I said we can try to be friends especially in front of Legolas." I tell her as we stop right before the palace.

"He may become quite confused to see that we have changed so much so quickly around one another." she tells me.

"Then that shall be a sight to see." I tell her with a laugh.

"Forgive me princess, once I was you enemy now I wish to be nothing more then a friend." Tauriel says as she smiles and walks away.

Was that really that easy or is this an act too even if it was an act at least it would please Legolas. Not sure how the King would feel about it thought. I walk back into the halls when the doors of the Throne room open and Thranduil walks out.

"Belowin, I heard of your bravery last night from my son. Saving an enemy?" he asks me with a eye brow raised.

"Perhaps or I was saving a new friend." I tell him as I look up at him.

"You did this for Legolas did you not?" he asks me.

"It is bad to start a marriage with something as the grooms friend becoming the brides enemy." I tell him with a smile.

"Wise Belowin. It seems you know more then you let on." he tells me as we walk past one another.

I walk back close to my chambers when I look out on of the opening and see a garden that I hadn't seen before. There sitting alone was Legolas just looking forward. I walk forward and put my hand on his shoulder and he looks at me startled.

"Forgive me Legolas, I did not mean to scare you." I tell him.

"No, please here sit with me. I wish to speak with you." he says offering me the seat next to him and I sit down.

"Let me guess you are going to ask me why I saved her right?" I ask him.

"Yes, how did you know that?" he says shocked.

"Legolas though she and I may not get along at all sometimes she was your friend first and since you chose me as your wife I will do what I must to keep you happy." I tell him as I put my hand on his.

"You would become friends with her to make me happy?" he asks me.

"Perhaps one day we might." I tell him as he grabs me and pulls me into a hug.

"Thank you Belowin, you truly showed me a different side of you. A caring and loving side." he says not pulling away from me.

"Well I do have that side, I just don't show it as much as I should. Legolas I do need to breathe though." I tell him as he laughs and pulls away from me.

"I am glad you will be my wife and one day mother of my children." he says with a big smile.

"Perhaps the Valar meant for us to be after all." I tell him with a smile.

"I can not wait for our wedding. it truly will be a very happy day." he says taking my hand and standing up and I follow his motions. "Thank you for coming here Belowin."

Just as I smile I feel him lean in and kiss me. He has started kissing me more often then he used to not that I had any objections to it. He pulls me closer to him as he wrapped his one arm around my waist and put his hand on my cheek. I had never felt this before this wonderful warm energy. Every time we were alone and he kissed me like that the feeling would return and I wouldn't want it to end.
