The prison wasn't all that uncomfortable given that he was the only one there but Jude couldn't bring himself to sleep as he kept worrying about where his sister might be and what may have happened to her by now.
'Look at what you've got into now Tania.' He thought. 'But I just pray you are okay wherever you are.'
While he was wallowing in his thoughts he heard the door move as sobody was about to open it.
"What do they want from now?" He said under his breath.
The door was slid open and Tauriel walked in with a covered plate in her hand.
"Have the conditions been changed again and I'm going to fight now?" Jude said with a depressed tone.
"No," Tauriel shook her head. "I ca to give you your food." She said dropping the plate in front of him.
"Yeah, I'm no child," Jude said, pushing the food back to her.
Tauriel smiled as she picked up the spoon on the plate, squatted down, and opened the food, when the scent entered Jude's nose he felt his stomach rumble.
"Although our king may appear cruel sotis, poisoning people is not in our culture, offenders are executed before everybody, not killed behind the scenes."
"And what did I ever do to offend you guys."
Tauriel shook her head as she took a spoonful from the food and put it into her mouth.
Jude watched her as she chewed the food before swallowing it.
'I didn't know elves had good table manners.' He thought.
After she had shown that there was no poison in the food she pushed it back to Jude. He was hesitant but he still picked up the food and slowly put one spoon of it into his mouth.
That one spoon was enough to trigger his hunger pangs which caused him to take down the whole thing as fast as he could.
Tauriel couldn't help but chuckle at the way he was eating and hearing her chuckle Jude's face went red in embarrassnt, here he was thinking elves had bad table manners while he just showed a high level of that now.
"Hey, I haven't eaten anything since yesterday," Jude said, trying to defend himself.
"I know but it was just funny." She said, trying to hold in the rest of her laughter.
Jude wasn't annoyed by her amusent with the way he ate instead he just looked at her and smiled.
"Why are you smiling?" Tauriel asked.
"There's one person who wouldn't stop laughing at whenever I did sothing funny or clumsy," Jude said, his depressed tone had returned now.
"Who is that?" Tauriel asked as her long and pointed ear seed to have stood erect now.
"My little sister," Jude said with a sigh.
On hearing that Tauriel's ear imdiately returned to its original length as her cheery face turned to a sad one.
"Your sister," Tauriel said. "What was she like?"
Jude stared at the rows of vents for a while before replying to her question.
"As a child, she was my best friend, always there for and always ready to help out. She's the best sister one could ever ask off.
"And how old is she?"
"She's nineteen years old now," Jude said.
"Nineteen," Tauriel repeated.
'I'm only a year older than her.' She thought.
"What's her na?" She asked.
"Tania," Jude said, shaking his head. "I just hope she's safe."
"I'm sure we don't have her here and I'm also certain the goblins don't have her because you are the only human I've seen cross around here for a long while now."
"How do you know that she may have gotten captured when you were here?" Jude said.
"Trust , we have eyes all over this territory and nothing entering here escapes the eyes of my brother and ."
There was a possibility for what she was saying now to be the truth, what reason would Tania have to run away from the kingdom? Because she was told to start getting ready for courtship, that sounded really ridiculous.
'What if she was hiding sowhere and had returned ho now?' Jude thought but that thought was frustrating him the more because of his current situation.
While Jude was trying to put sothing right in his mind Tauriel stood up to leave.
"I have to go, my brother must be looking for now." She said and turned to leave.
"Wait," Jude said.
"I'm sorry for bringing you here and putting you in this situation but if it's about hel….." She was interrupted by Jude before she could finish.
"No, I just wanted to say, you are a really nice elf."
Tauriel turned to him and said with a smile. "Thank you. You are a nice human too."
Just deep in the dark corridor leading to the prison was Tuchel, he had been watching his sister talk and laugh with Jude but he wasn't the only one.
Up in the king's castle, the king was sitting on his throne with a large white orb floating in front of him, this was just any orb rather it was a monitoring orb as it was displaying Tauriel and Jude in the prison while they were talking to each other, he had been watching them all this while.
"You are making a mistake young she-elf." He said as he tapped his staff on the orb. "A very big mistake."

The sun was rising as JoJo mountain was coming into view. The trees all the way to the school and then to the many shops people had set up for their various businesses.
Michael was still in his lab, the one where he had the nurous monitor screens when he spotted sothing approaching the mountain from above.
"What is that?" Michael said and on zooming, he discovered that it was a military-style helicopter.
"What the heck are those military dogs looking for here now?"
All the students were busy having their rest as today was a Saturday, it was a weekend which ant they didn't have to do anything today.
None of the students could be seen outside although the sun had begun to rise. That was until soone spoke through the speakers in their various rooms causing most of them to spring up from their beds startled.
"What was that?" Dylan asked as he almost fell off from up where he was sleeping.
"All students please report to the auditorium imdiately, this is an order from the principal." The voice repeated.
"I think we should get ready for another demon battle." Pearl turned to Tammy to say, they were both still in their pajamas.
"I just hope that's not the case," Tammy said.
"What in the hell would be so urgent to make them interrupt soone's sweet sleep?" Ace complained as he got up from his bed.
