I opened the door to see the person who I wanted to see but didn't expect to see so soon.

She stood there in her light violet with her straight blonde hair flowing at her sides and her bright blue eyes all red and puffy and tears still stained her fair face. "Eleniel" she breathed out, obviously out of breath. "Alassiel..." I whispered

Flashback**

"Alassiel!" I squealed out as I tackled her to the grassy ground. We both let out squeals and laughed together. "Eleniel, we are gonna get dirty again." Alassiel giggled out as she stood up dusting the grass off her dress. "So, I like getting dirty" I said as I pretended to make an angel out of the grass I was on.

She smiled at me and said "You love getting scolded by Naneth do you?" we both giggled and I turned over on the grass lying down on my stomach. "Alassiel, what do you think we will be when we reach a mature age?" I asked, she put her finger on her chin as she thought of what she would be.

"Hmm.. You might be taking over your family's business, I would be a seamstress or a maiden of the palace. Or you would marry the prince" she said as she wiggled her eyebrows. I giggled and blush at the thought of marrying the prince. "Yeah, but the Prince wouldn't take a second look at me I'm not even sure if he'll take a first look" I said as I got up the ground not bothering the grass staining my dress.

"If only he can look at you, he'll actually see the real you. but no matter what I always be your best friend" Alassiel said as she grabbed my hand. "Best friends forever!" I said as I pulled her into a hug.

End of flashback**

"Eleniel, I can't believe it's you" she sobbed out as she covered her mouth with her hand. Standing there like she couldn't believe I was standing right in front of her. Tears started filling my eyes, I couldn't believe that my best friend was standing right in front of me and she remembered me. Legolas then appeared right behind her smiling like he just gave the best gift in the world.

Which he did.

we both burst out laughing like crazy people then we both ran and hugged each other like we had never seen each other forever which it felt like it. "I thought you have forgotten about me" I whispered as I nuzzled in her neck, I could feel her smiling and she sobbed "I would never forget my best friend"

tears strolled down my face at least I now have family that doesn't hate me but what happens if I tell her what happens at night? would she stay away or help fight the pain?

We both pulled away and cupped each others face. "How are you?" she asked me, I smiled at her and said "I'm alright, now that I am home" I then felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to the owner of the hand and saw Legolas giving me a warming smile. "We shall have a feast during lunch before night time" he said, I smiled at him and did something unexpected.

I threw my arms around his neck and whispered in his chest "Thank you" I felt his hands slowly hug back and it onlly made my smile grow wider. "You belong here, this is your home. And you were taken away from that. I am only doing whats right" he said as he pulled away and looked into my eyes. "See you then" I said, he nodded and walked out my room. I stared at his back until he disappeared through the door. A throat cleared behind me, I turned around to see a smirking Alassiel.

"We have a lot of catching up to do" she said, "And we shall also get ready" I said as I grabbed her hand and went to the closet and saw many gowns that the palace gave to me as a welcome home present. Alassiel gasped as she saw how many gowns were inside my closet. "Holy Elbereth!" she gasped making me laugh.

We both got ready and at the same time caught up. she cried as I told her the story of how I got captured and when I told her that at night I would turn into an Orc she didn't believe me and somehow I had a bad feeling that she would have to learn the hard way. which I was scared of.

After hours passed by, me and Alassiel was ready to go to the feast. Alassiel was wearing a red gown and I was wearing a beautiful green dress that Alassiel made for me since she is a seamstress. We both smiled and linked arms and joyfully walked towards the throne room where the feast is being held. We both were giggling until Alassiel stopped in her tracks. I then turned my head to look what made her stop. There stood Tauriel and two other girls behind her wearing brown and golden gowns.

"I see you and gown-Maid girl reunited. All the more reason to celebrate" Tauriel said in a sarcastic. I sighed, I didn't want Tauriel to be reliving the past. "Leave us alone" I said but then Tauriel glared at me and grabbed my arm violently in a blink of an eye. "Don't you ever talk to me like that again or I--" her hissing was cut off by someone saying in a booming and commanding voice, we all thought it was King Thranduil "Tauriel"

but we all turned to see Prince Legolas standing in his royal dark green tunic. Tauriel then gently put my arm down and walked away. "Thank you" I whispered, he really has done a lot to me. That's why I love him so dearly. So much that it pains me to see him feel that way towards Tauriel. I love him so much that it makes me cry, makes me hurt in a way that no one can ever make me feel.

"Sorry about that, Tauriel can sometimes go out of her character" Legolas apologized as he smiled making me melt in an instant. Alassiel looked at the ground with a sad expression and I grabbed her hand and gave it a slight squeeze and told her "Let's have fun" she smiled then we made our way towards the feast.

We ate and danced to the music, it was lively like Thranduil always throwed. That's what I loved about King Thranduil, he had different parties from Lady Galadriel and Lord Elrond. Thranduil was like the master of feats. No one mentioned or asked any questions about my disappearance, everyone was just happy that the Prince returned safely and that I was found.

That's all that mattered.

The feast was done, me and Alassiel had the time of our lives. Even though Legolas stood in the small group of warriors including Tauriel who kept glaring at me the whole evening but I didn't let that get in the way of my fun. Me and Alassiel giggled until we both got inside of my room and we both sat in front of the fireplace that was lit.

"I really missed you Eleniel" she said as she put her head on the edge of my bed and looked at me. I copied her and said "Me too Alassiel, I thought I would never see you again" Alassiel then looked up at the window and stood up. "Okay! It is night time, Prove to me that you can turn into an Orc" she said as she folded her arms thinking that I was jesting.

sadly, I wasn't.

I stood up and stared at the moon, knowing it will come very soon. I looked at Alassiel and told her "Don't freak out please!" I begged, but she just laughed. And that's when I felt the burning sensation. I fell to the ground and started turning into the monster that's a part of me.

Once the transformation was done I looked up at Alassiel and my heart just broke in half as I saw in her eyes, horror, fear, scared, pain and all of those negative thoughts. I flinched as she took a step back and screamed at the top of her lungs. Making me run to the corner as she quickly grabbed one of the fire pokers and started swinging it at me. I could already feel the tears filling my eyes.

"get away from me you monster! What did you do with my best friend!?" She hissed but you could tell that her voice was shaking. As I tried to take a step forward she started screaming again. That's when the door flung open. Legolas quickly looked at me and to Alassiel. Legolas quickly ran to Alassiel grabbed the poker out of her hands and threw it aside. He then led her out the door into a maiden's arms who already knew who and what I was. Alassiel then took one more look at me before the door closed, and the look on her face just crippled me. Once Legolas closed the door so it was just me and him in the room. I burst into tears and sobs.

Covering my face with my big hands trying to hold back my ugly sobs that sounded as if a nazgul had a soar-throat or something. I then felt arms around me, I looked up and saw Legolas looking at me, I then shrugged his arms off around me knowing it was hideous that a perfect and handsome royal prince like him is hugging a nobody elleth / Orc but then He sighed and said "Just let it all out, hug me with all your hurt, tell me the things that pain you, cry the agony away. Just don't push me away" I looked up and saw him wiping away the tears from my ugly Orc face even though I was ugly.

"Because no matter how far you push me I will always be here and no matter how many times you push me away I will get right back to you to make sure your safe and ok... Are you alright?" he asked as he cupped my big face. "I' okay" I said stubbornly but then he said "I know you're not okay" but then I sobbed out "It has to be because there is nothing I can do about it" he then hugged me again as if I was just a normal being. He began to rub my back and said

"I'm sorry that I can't fix this, but I will always be by your side to help you survive this"

I felt safe and loved as I cried in his arms. It was like I was meant to be there, that destiny drove me away and fate brought me back, back to Legolas where the Iluvatar and the Valar have planned. but how can you accept The beauty and the Orc if it states in our life time where war declared Orc and Elves enemies and fate just won't seperate you.

Is there a reason I am an Orc?
