Entwined(Thranduil Fanfic)

Chapter15

My mind flashbacked to the time we first met and the deal we made. Then I thought of the teacher's words. She was angry that Thranduil replaced Gloridis, but that was not true.

"I'm staying here for you," I said.

"For me?" He asked.

"Yes, you clearly need me," I said. "Someone has to take care of you."

"I can take care of myself," He said.

"All you've done for the past thousands of years was take care of yourself. This time let me."

"Why do something you will not benefit from?" He asked.

"Not everything is for benefit," I said.

"Then what is the point?"

I scratched my head.

"I'm not quite sure," I said.

"I'm not going to let you stay here," He said.

"So are you just going to throw me out?" I asked.

"That's exactly what I was thinking," He said with a cold grin.

"Stop! You're being ridiculous!"

"Am I? Wouldn't it be better if we were both just out of one another's way?" He asked.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked.

His grin wiped off his face.

"To protect you," He whispered.

"I don't need your protection!"

"I don't care," He answered.

"Guards! Contact Lord Elrond, they're getting Aranel back," Thranduil said.

"Don't you dare," I said.

"Too late, take her to her room, pack her things and give her a horse. Let her be on her way as soon as possible. Just to make sure she doesn't come back go with her to Rivendale," Thranduil said.

Legolas stormed into the room.

"Let me take her back!" He said.

"No," Thranduil said. "You're too close to her."

"It's okay Legolas. I'll take myself," I said managing a smile.

The guards grabbed my arms and I stared at Thranduil as they took me away. I couldn't let things end this way.

"Let me go, I can walk myself," I said.

Obediently the guards let me go and I ran straight for the throne room. I could hear them running after me. I grabbed an arrow from one of the statues in the hallways. I barged into the throne room. Thranduil looked at me with wide eyes. I held the arrow in my hand and pointed it at myself.

"What are you doing?!"

"If you don't want to hurt me wouldn't it be better if I just died here?" I asked.

"Stop being a fool!" He yelled.

"When I do this I want you to remember that you did this to me," I said.

I raised the arrow and made it look like I was going to plunge it into my heart, but at the last second I would only hit my arm. It would be a minor wound but I would have made my point. Just as I was going to do it Thranduil shoved me down to the grown but the arrow slipped from my grip.

I heard Thranduil moan in pain and saw blood pouring out from his chest. I turned him unto his back and ripped the arrow away.

"Get Help!" I continued to yell.
