Jude could feel his body getting better after Tauriel helped him massage some parts of his body with the warm water and towel she had brought along with her, she dropped the towel inside the bowl and pushed it aside after she was done.
Saving his life was one thing but never in his life did Jude think that an elf could be this nice to him and that made him wonder.
'Is he trying to use her against me or does she want something?'
Although Tauriel and her brother had been the ones to save him, he didn't exactly trust them for two reasons, they were also elves, and though he knew they weren't like the other elves that didn't change the fact that they were elves who could suddenly become like the others.
"Why are you doing this?" Jude asked.
"The same reason why I saved you." She said with a smile.
"No, this is different, I mean why are you risking your life for me?"
Indeed Tauriel was putting her life at stake by helping him get well for the next fight, he could see right through him from his eyes whenever he spoke to him, he hated humans, he hated them with passion and all he wanted to see was him getting destroyed by the aerial beast and when that didn't happen he got angry and frustrated.
He will most likely like Jude to fight with his bone and muscle problem so that there would be a high chance of him losing tomorrow's fight and if he should find out that Tauriel had already helped him out without he would really be provoked.
Elves weren't cruel to one another or so they said but once you were charged with the case of allying with a human that spelled execution for the elf so Tauriel pretty much understood what he was talking about.
'Because I like you.' She wanted to say but bit her tongue before that could come out.
"I know but I don't think going out there to fight a level three hybrid without being in good form is fair at all," Tauriel said. "Besides it's not like I was helping you to escape or anything."
Jude just slightly shook his head at what she had just said but she didn't wasn't looking at him as she had immediately gotten up.
"Where are you going?" Jude asked. 'Why am I asking her stupid questions now?'
"Don't worry I'll be back soon." She turned and said with a smile before walking off leaving the prison door open.
'Doesn't she think I can escape?' Jude thought as he stepped closer to the open door. 'But if I escape now it will get blamed on her, ah! What am I thinking? I don't even know the exit.'
To avoid putting himself into more trouble he went and sat down where he had stood up, trying to escape now was pretty dangerous because he still hadn't found out where the exit was.
It didn't take long for Tauriel to return holding two bowls of food in her hand.
She dropped one in front of him and held one as she sat down opposite him.
"That's your food and if you want I can taste it for poison." She said with a teasing smile.
"Yeah, poison," Jude said as he slowly picked up the food, no doubt he was extremely hungry but he couldn't just start eating the food as he believed there could really be poison in it and these all be a facade to cover that up.
It didn't make sense to save him from death earlier on and then poison him but there was a chance she could be forced by the king to do it.
He was holding the food in his hands while Tauriel had already started eating hers. She looked at him and sighed before taking the bowl from him.
She took one spoonful from it and then another before dropping it in front of him.
"Did you have to take two spoonfuls?" Jude said with feigned annoyance.
"Yeah, that's my reward for being your poison checker." She said before putting another spoon into her mouth.
Jude smiled as he picked up the plate and held out his spoon.
"Please don't make me laugh, I don't want to choke on my food," Tauriel said.
Jude ignored her as he slowly ate his food to avoid making her laugh as she said.
After the two were done with their lunch, Tauriel pulled out something from her back and handed it to him.
"What am I going to use that for?" Jude asked, pointing at the curved dagger.
"This could be your way out of tomorrow's death fight," Tauriel said, pushing it further to him.
He picked the dagger up and immediately used it to cut in the air.
"To be honest I prefer my sword to this," Jude said.
"I didn't say you should replace your sword with it, use it as a support weapon, and whatever you do, don't let that blade cut through your skin."
Those were her last words before she walked out and locked the prison doors.
'Don't cut my skin, wait….' Now he had an idea of what the dagger was. 'This is a poisoned dagger.' He thought as he raised the dagger.
Inside his throne room, the elf wizard king was watching everything that was happening in the white monitoring orb floating in front of him.
"You've decided to find love in a human Tauriel, I just hope you're ready to die with him."

At Crockel academy, Ella was sitting on her bed looking at her notebook with Ajax who was also on top of her bed looking at the same book.
That was the book Orah had brought to her claiming that he picked it outside their classroom after they had finished their lessons today but Ella found his story a little strange.
She had never carried her books outside the class before so how did her book get there? Or how did he really get the book?
The second reason why she found his story strange was that she didn't think that his actual reason for approaching her was to give her, her notebook because of the questions he had asked her about Luis, he even asked her if he had seen Luis with a red sword to which she replied no saying that Luis couldn't be the one to steal the sword although she was aware of the scuffle he had with George some time.
'That boy is really strange.'
Ajax barked softly as he climbed onto her body, making her quickly turn her attention to him.
"Oh Ajax, staying here will cause quite a stir for both of us." She said as she lifted him. "I don't know how you followed me but I'm sending you back to your mother."
The happy expression on Ajax's face turned sour after she said that.
"Don't worry I'll come see you during the weekends as I promised."
After saying those words she realized how Ajax might have followed her, she had gone to see the wolf on Sunday as she promised, she had begged Michael to come with her because Luis was currently locked up, after about ten minutes of begging him, Michael agreed to come with her.
'Naughty wolf.' She thought as she gave the cub a little smack on its head.
Orah was heading back to the boys' dormitory section now after he had tried his trick on Ella without getting any result.
'I guess there won't be any reason for him to give him the sword.' He thought.
"Let's try the boys then." He said as he came to a stop in front of room 10.
