I knew my emotions would be on end and that I was just probably having cold feet I guess. I went with Tauriel to the final fitting on my wedding dress and was shaking. As they put the dress on me and I look into the mirror at first I thought I saw a completely different person looking back at me. After time I saw myself. I didn't know what that meant perhaps it was just my imagination?

"Belowin, you look wonderful no one will be able to take their eyes off of you." Tauriel says as she circles me and looks at the gown. "You have true beauty."

"I hope you are close by during this ceremony." I tell her as I look at her.

"Why is that?" she asks me confused.

"In case I faint. I just all my emotions are all scrambled." I tell her as I look back to the mirror.

"Your just nervous, if you did faint I am sure Legolas would catch you. After all he will be there with you." she says with a laugh as she crosses her arms.

Nervous, yes I was incredibly nervous. After my fitting I decided to follow Tauriel out to the training ground. She told me I could let off some stress there and no one would judge me. Her and I both pick up bows and arrows and make our way to the targets.

"I'm sure Legolas is just as nervous as you are, this is all new to him too." she tells me as I take and arrow and string it then take aim.

"After all, you are probably nervous about the wedding night and producing an heir-" she starts as I am thrown off by that last part and let the arrow loose almost hitting another ellon.

"Sorry!" I call out and shrug my shoulders.

"That is what you are afraid of, if not that poor ellon wouldn't have just had the life scared out of him." Tauriel says with a laugh.

"I fail to see how this is funny. I just I don't know, I am afraid if I release another arrow I may kill an elf if you keeping talking like that." I tell her as I put the bow by my side.

"Not reason to fear, you will know what to do when the time comes." she tells me.

"Well I better head back and find my uncle, I can only imagine what he is up to." I tell her as I start to walk away.

"See you tonight at the feast!" she calls out to me as I keep walking back to the palace.

I walk inside and see the woman from before talking to Haldir, I don't know why but a part of me doesn't like the idea of her talking to him. Wait when did I become protective of a stranger? I know nothing about him or her for that matter. I just don't like seeing them together? What is wrong with me? Is it because of the whole he saved my life thing? Before my head has time to tell my body to stop I am standing right before them.

"Lady Belowin." Haldir says to me and nods to me.

"Is there something we could help you with?" the elleth asks me with a smart tone.

"I believe your family was looking for you, I suggest you go to them. Perhaps they have yet another suitor for you." I tell her using the same tone she used with me.

She just gives me a smirk then gives one last look to Haldir and walks off looking for her parents.

"Is there something you need Lady Belowin?" he asks me.

"First don't call me that. Belowin is the name I prefer. Please keep away from her no good will come from her." I tell him as I look at him.

"She was merely telling me about her family-" he starts.

"Trust me I know the tricks of young elleths, My cousin and I were very fast learners from the generation before us. I know every trick she just tried on you." I tell him as I circle him. "First she was batting her eyes at you making her focus on her eyes, of course you obliged and looked for a moment did it seems as if you couldn't look away?"

"For just a moment perhaps." he says as I stop in front of him.

"Then believe me when I say I sent her away for your protection. Nothing good will come from her." I tell him as I look into his eyes.

"I will stay away from her as you suggest Belowin. Thank you for your information." he tells me as he smiles at me.

"You saved my life, so I returned the favor and saved your sanity." I tell him with a laugh as I go to walk away.

"Belowin? Is there any other names you are called? Perhaps by only friends?" he asks.

I turn back to him and smile.

"You wish to be my friend?" I ask him curious.

"I do, after all I did save you in the woods and when I come to visit it would be nice to hear from someone other then Legolas." he says to me.

"My friends and close family use to call me "Bel" though I haven't been called that for some time now." I tell him as I do turn and start to walk away.

As I walk to the chambers I hear Legolas and his father talking.

"She is just nervous father, all this time away from people she knew and was use to. She didn't run away she just had to clear her head." Legolas says.

"She is to be a princess, she can not just take off whenever she feels like it. She will have responsibilities. Legolas you know that as well as I do please tell her she can't just leave the protection of the palace at least not for a while." Thranduil tells him.

I feel my heart grow heavy. I knew I shouldn't have ran off. Now the king is even loosing faith in me. I lean against the wall as I hear footsteps coming my way. I look over and see Legolas give me a smile.

"I heard what your father said, no running off and no leaving the protection of a palace for a while." I tell him with a sigh.

"He is making sure you are protected as am I. Tomorrow when we are wed things will be different for both of us." Legolas says as he leans against the wall as well. "At least we know we can depend on one another."

"Do you ever grow tired of being right all the time Legolas?" I ask him with a laugh.

"If I am not right then you are the first to correct me. Belowin is there something bothering you that you might wish to talk about before tomorrow?" he asks me.

"No Legolas, trust me I have all of that out of my system." I tell him as I lean against his side and look up into his eyes. "I hope you know what you are getting yourself into marrying me."

"Your uncle did tell me I would never be bored. I am going to have to agree with him so far I have not been bored." he says with a laugh as he looks down at me. "Things are going to be different at first but I promise you I won't do anything that you are not comfortable with."

Oh I know exactly what he is talking about. The wedding night of course what else would he be talking about?

"Well Legolas we are going to have to do that sometime in order to get you an heir. May as well continue tradition of the wedding night." I tell him as he puts his arm around me.

Tauriel's POV

I was walking through the palace on my way to find Belowin when I see someone who appears to be Haldir hiding behind a column. I see him staring at someone. I follow his eyes and see he is looking at Belowin and Legolas. Oh no, what does this mean? I walk up to him and nearly scare him to death as he looks at me.

"What are you looking at?" I ask him.

"Just keeping an eye on her, that's all. I was told to do this." he tells me.

"Yes, she is with Legolas now though I doubt he will let any harm come to her." I tell him with a giggle.

"Never hurts to have two watching, double the protection." he says as he looks back to them.

"Haldir you barely know her yet you watch he as if she was the only elleth on middle earth?" I ask him.

He ignores me and keeps looking at them.

"Oh no, please tell me you don't!" I ask him as he breaks his line of vision and looks at me.

"Don't what?" he asks me with a serious tone.

"You have been watching her like that since you brought her here, how could I not have seen it sooner?" I say as I look back to Legolas and Belowin. "You love her."

"As you said Tauriel I just met her, how could I love someone I do not know? She is marrying Legolas as well." he says again with the serious tone.

"You are a terrible liar Haldir. Belowin is very kind and generous but she would never betray Legolas." I tell him as I watch his body stiffen.

"I would never ask her to betray Legolas, he is my friend as well. I can see the way they are with one another." he says as he turns to walk away.

"You'll find another elleth Haldir. Do not loose hope." I tell him.

"I will not find another one. I have no need for one." he says as he walks off.

I have a feeling something bad is going to happen and really test both Legolas and Belowin. I only hope that Haldir isn't going to do something too stupid.

Legolas POV

Walking through the palace hand and hand with Belowin was something we did often but each time felt better then the last. I watch as she looks out to nature and smile. She loves anything to do with nature. If she had her way she would sit in the garden for hours and refuse to come inside.

"Everything go well with your dress today?" I ask her.

"Yes, though when I looked in the mirror at first it didn't look like me. It looked like someone else." she tells me as she looks up at me.

"Perhaps your mother? Your uncle says you look just like her? That might of been her letting you know she was with you." I tell her as I hold her hands to my face and kiss them.

"That must have been it, I saw her smile at least that must mean that she approves of you." she tells me with a laugh.

"Who would not approve a prince?" I ask her with a smile.

"If my father were here no matter what title you had he might have said no, what I do remember about him was that he was very protective of me." she tells me as she leans in and hugs me. "I miss them so much."

"I know, I miss my mother as well. Come I will take you to your chambers and you must get ready for the feast." I tell her as we start walking again.

Belowin's POV

I was escorted back to my room by Legolas and gave him a light kiss before turning to my room to see my maid waiting for me with a dress in hand. Why do I feel like I have seen this before?

"Here we are Lady Belowin, a beautiful dress of white, a gift from your uncle he said your mother wore it the feast before her wedding to your father." the maid says showing me the long beautiful with dress.

I smile as she helps me put it on I look down on the sleeves and see they "V" out to my middle finger. I feel the maid tying the back of the dress and if does feel a bit constricting at first but then it seems to go away.

"All done my lady." she says as she steps back. "Oh my lady you look so beautiful. The prince will not be able to take his eyes off you."

"I hope not, after all tomorrow we will be married." I say as I look into the mirror.

"Come, sit and I will brush your hair this way you will look just like your mother." the maid says.

I sit down and she starts to brush my hair, after that she puts the proper braids in it and looks at me in the mirror and smiles.

"I saw your mother once, I must say you look just like her. A true vision of beauty." the maid says as she puts the brush down. "Be happy princess, your smile is just like hers."

I smile at the maid when I hear a knock at the door.

"Enter." I call out to whoever it is.

My uncle walks in the door and he looks at me with surprise as I stand and walk to him.

"If I did not know better, I would say your mother was standing before me. You remind me so much of her and I know that she would be proud of you Bel." I look up at him and smile. He only called me that when he was truly happy.

"I can feel her with me uncle and I know she is smiling." I tell him as I hug him.

"Of course she is Bel, of course she is." he says as he hugs me tight. "Now come, the feast awaits and I know Legolas will be happy to see you."

I take his arm as we walk into to the feast, inside already elves are dancing and drinking. I am not a fan of drinking never really thought it was much fun. I look up and see Legolas with his father as they turn my way. I see Legolas look at me in an awe of some sort. I can't help but smile at him as My uncle brings me to them.

"Belowin, you look stunning." Legolas manages to say with a smile on his face.

"If you don't mind Prince Legolas, May I have the first dance with my niece since tomorrow she will become your princess?" My Uncle asks.

Legolas smiles and nods his head yes. My uncle takes me to the dance floor and starts to dance with me.

"Your mother would be so proud Belowin I know you will make a wonderful princess and future Queen one day please promise me though you will stay true to yourself and to your family. Never allow someone to come between you and the ones you love." My uncle tells me and I look up at him.

"Of course Uncle, I Promise."
