Hi everyone! This is my second hobbit fic! Again, I am not the best writer. So this is a practice of my own to try and detail my writing more.

The Fault in Our Stars.

Prologue.

Tauriel wept as she looked back to Erebor and the sleeping city of Dale. With so much destruction it still looked beautiful in the moonlight, Erebor's grand entrance seemed to glow in the moonlight.

She had called Dale home for the past few months, helping and healing those who were caught in the firestorms. The townspeople were the loveliest and extremely welcoming to Tauriel when she first came to Dale. Lord Bard had insisted she took up residence as a healer while letting his oldest daughter Sigrid learn the elven ways of healing. Which was one of the biggest joys, as Sigrid loved Tauriel as the mother she had lost. To feel that love was something Tauriel will never forget, especially after the banishment from Mirkwood and the departure of Legolas.

She smiled as she remembered the fond memories of finding herself having dinner with the Bard family, their friendly nature and warmth was something she will cherish for the rest of time.

Tauriel grabbed something she should have left behind, so that her feelings could not follow her. The small token that a certain Dwarf prince had given her many months ago. A tear escaped her and her heart swelled. Dale would always be the city that had changed her cold heart, it didn't judge the budding romance between herself and Prince Kili.

For months following the battle the unlikely pair was inseparable, always seen within an arm's reach of one another. Kili helped rebuild the house that Tauriel now called home… which was practically 'their' own house as often the pair lived like any other married couple, in secret of course. Kili would often leave even before the roosters had awoken.

But, just as the pair started to plan their futures together. Kili's mother came to stay and made Tauriel's life exceptionally hard. For an elf that had never had to deal with such rejection and hatred it caused Tauriel to become unsettled and agitated. Even questioning herself with Kili, after so many dinners with the dwarven royal family only to hear invitations being sent out from Kili's mother Dis to attract young potential dwarven wives.

Kili, Fili and Thorin had told her repeatedly that Dis was a tough dwarf and she would get over it in time. But still after months Dis's attitude had not changed and Tauriel rarely saw Kili. The pair had this growing wall between them, filling with whispers and doubt.

Then something happened. Something that gave her the chance she needed.

A luxurious party was being held again for no apparent reason, again. Tauriel was dragged by Sigrid who had become very attached to the next in line to the throne Filli. During Dinner, Tauriel was not feeling well, amidst the racket of the table she was certain to leave quietly.

But as she felt some liquid run down her thigh and an immense pain in her abdomen caused her to lose her breath. She panicked, knocking off a plate of pork causing it to crash to the ground. Everyone looked at her as the room went quiet, she got up quickly and had to hold onto the table so that the pain wouldn't cause her to fall. She looked down, only to see blood. Blood covered the ground underneath her seat. Panic stricken Tauriel as she tried to breathe through the pain that was surging through her body.

She turned around with haste and walked as well as she could out the door.

The dwarves sat there in silence, the she elf had left the room with pain written on her face. Sigrid let out a horrified gasp as she had quickly gotten up to follow Tauriel only to see the blood trail from her seat to the door.

Kili had only thought Tauriel had been sick of their drunken antics, but the horrified look on Sigrid told him to follow Tauriel immediately. It was only when he had gotten up follow Sigrid out the door did he see the blood.

The pair followed the blood to Kili's quarters.

The she-elf was collapsed on the ground gripping onto the nearby bed, her moans of pain seemed to echo through the room.

"Get her on the bed!" Sigrid yelled at Kili who was still frozen in a state of panic. He snapped out of it and helped Sigrid get Tauriel up on the bed.

"Now get out! This is woman's business here!" Sigrid grabbed Kili by the arm and dragged the young dwarf prince out of the room.

Soon the news spread like dragonfire that Tauriel had suffered a miscarriage and what followed was something Tauriel had expected the moment she chose Kili to be her one and only. Kili was apparently too emotional to visit her so that he didn't upset her further.

But another family member had another idea.

Dis came in once Sigrid left to get Tauriel fresh bedding. Unbeknownst to the rest of Erebor, Sigrid and Tauriel were certain that Tauriel had not lost the child…

"The line of Durin was never meant to be contaminated by your blood. You should take this as a sign she-elf to leave Erebor leave Kili to the life he was born to, to be a father. With you, your life together with him will be filled with only pain. Why let him live with that? Let him find a woman who can give him what you cannot"

Tauriel remained silent as Dis approached her.

"Why do you think my son is not here? He knew the possibility that this could happen and now that it has, he is having tremendous doubts. Love, isn't always the answer. Not with our family, we have lost so many. If you leave, you secure the Durin line. Kili will settle and you will leave and wonder throughout middle earth. A mortal dwarf and an immortal elf were never meant to be. So just leave and forget about Kili"

Dis left the now crying elf, what she had spoken was the truth that Tauriel had feared. If she left by morning she could be far away by the time they raised the alarm. If she left, the child would be a consistent reminder of Kili. A reminder that will be only hers…

She had to leave.

Like the token she held in her hand, the child within her would be a promise. A promise to one day return to Erebor to see Kili just the once to find him happy and surrounded by his dwarven children.

It broke her heart even further as she turned her back on Erebor, after all the stars that she loved were shining so brightly. A tear escaped her eye, she thought their love would be written up in the stars. But instead, there must have been a fault in the stars she loved. A fault that was caused by such old hatred between the two different houses.

One day perhaps the fault would be fixed by the love a family could bring.
