Hi, I'm only going to be putting up one chapter at a time for this rewrite. Although for future stories I hope to have it complete and just upload it.

Disclaimer;

I do not own any of the Lord of the Rings characters, and most of the story line is their's anyway. And I have also took inspiration from others who have done rewrites of LOR with the inclucion of Tauriel.

The world had seamed to change quite a it to Tauriel in the 60 years that followed the battle of the five armies, but in truth only a few small things changed. Tauriel had known that Legolas had been upsetted by her trying to protect the dwarf Kili but if he only knew the truth, that Tauriel had been forced to use her friendship with Kili as an excuse for King Thranduil to leave her be for he had told her not to give Legolas hope where there was none. If Legolas knew that his father had forced Tauriel to find someone else so that Thranduil didn't banish or even kill her, Legolas would be furious with him and would go as far as to outright disobey him. But she couldn't think of that now, Tauriel had buried all her feelings in hope that it would keep her from getting hurt.

Legolas was on his was to the training yard when he heard someone running his way, "malord" the elleth said and bowed slightly. Legolas raised his head and nodded for him to continue, "the king has sommonded you to council" he replied with another bow and Legolas knodded and said thanks and turned heading to the throunroom. When he entered he bowed slightly as there where five other elves present. "Ah Legolas, word has reached me that Lord Elrond has sommoned a council and I am asking you to go in my stead." Legolas knodded and was about to ask when he was to leave but Thranduil cut him off "you, the captian and these four council members will travel to Rivendell, you shall leave imiediatly." Everyone nodded and bowed but Legolas was the first one to leave.

Tauriel had just entered the armory yet she could tell instantly that she was not alone. Legolas had his back to her as he gathered his weapons from his trunk as she went to hers to do the same. "It has been along time since we traveled together" Legolas said breaking the stiff silence between them "yes it has, but it will be an honor to travel with you again my lord." Tauriel said bowing her head yo him with his father's words ringing in her ear. "Tauriel, there is no one but us in here. You need not use formalities." he said turning to her she turned to him as well but wouldn't meet his gaze "but it is not apropriet for the caption of the guard to be so close with her prince" she said softly lowering her head as she spoke. Legolas shook his head and frowned putting a hand under her chin to lift it forcing her to look him in the eye. "Tauriel, you have never cared for that. What has been happened to make you change. Has my father said something to you?" he asked softly his voice full of concern, Tauriel's eyes brimmed with tears as she met his cool blue eyes with her forest ones and widened when he mentioned his father saying something "he has said something to you, hasn't he?" Legolas said apon seeing her reaction at the mention of his father and he felt anger starting to rise but pushed it back. Tauriel pulled her head from the prince's hand and braking eye contact "what the king has said is the truth and cannot be ignored. I'm sorry Legolas but that's the truth and there's no escaping it" she said trying to level her voice, quickly she turned and grabbed her weapons and moved to leave but tears fell from her eyes as she did so. Legolas caught a glipse of the tears the fell from Tauriel's face as she more or so ran from the armory and it hurt and angered him even more, he never like to see Tauriel cry and it madened him that it was whatever his father had said to her that made her cry. But he would deal with that another time as they had a council to reach.

Finally everyone was ready and the group started out on their journey to Rivendell.
