Astra's Story

Review: Astra and Thorin have been best friends, but not ever been in love before Smaug attacked. Astra is the daughter of Thranduil and because of what happened. They can't continue being friends, but Thorin invites her to join him on the Quest for Erebor and she agrees. On the way, she falls in love with Fili, Thorin's Nephew. Will her father approve in the end or try to separate them?

AN: Astra means from the Stars in Greece. I thought it would fit. Also. The first movie will be the extended version of the Hobbit, which I liked better. I hope you enjoy.

Prologue:
Friendship Ended for Now

"Astra." Legolas said, coming into the room as I sat on the balcony overlooking Mirkwood.

"What is it Legolas?" I ask, looking at my brother. He was older than me by a few years. My long blonde hair was in a braid down my back.

"Thorin and his people are here." Legolas said. I slam the book I was reading shut and ran out of the room. I had heard about the dragon taking the Mountain. Thorin and I had been good friends for years. It was known for good friends to court, but we were just friends. He said I wasn't his one and he wasn't mine. I ran into the throne room. Thorin stood with his father Thrain and Thror.

"Astra. You shouldn't be here." Adar said in elvish as I came up.

"They are my friends Adar." I said back in elvish, coming up to the throne. I gave Thorin a smile which surprisingly he returned, but it disappeared.

"We come to ask for help. We are hungry and looking for a place to stay." Thror said. Adar stood up and walked down. Legolas stood with the guards. I was working on getting with Adar's guard.

"Why should I help you?" Adar asked.

"Adar!" I said, eyes widen. He raises his hand and I saw a look of hatred in Thorin's eyes towards my Adar.

"Why should I help you when you didn't give me those jewels of pure starlight. So no I will not help you. Now leave." Adar said. The dwarves turn to leave. Thorin and I look at each other and I knew he wanted to talk to me after I was done yelling at Adar. I spun on the King, anger in my eyes.

"Why Adar? All they want is a place to eat and stay for a bit. They wouldn't have stayed long. Is that all you care about it those jewels? Sorry to break it to you, but they are probably laying underneath the dragon right now. You know I'm good friends with the Prince. Why?" I ask. Adar stood up anger in his eyes.

"You are second in line for the throne and you will not speak to me like that. Your no longer to be friends with him. You will learn one day why I turned them down but not today. Now go." Adar said. I rushed out of the throne room. Throin was waiting at the gate.

"Astra. You're in tears. What did your father do to you?" Thorin asked.

"Nothing except forbid us to be friends." I said. I walked with Thorin towards the path.

"I'll write and maybe you can sneak out and meet me somewhere." Thorin said.

"If Adar will stop being over protective. Yes." I said.

"Your his only daughter. Father is the same with Dis." Thorin said.

"But you dwarves are always protective of dwarf woman so its understanding. You should go. I'll keep in contact." I said. Thorin and I hugged and I watch him leave with his people. I turn back. Our friendship was forbidden now thanks to my Adar, but I knew we would keep in contact.

AN: I got the idea from DOS when Thorin mentioned that him and his people came asking the King for help and he turned them down. Next chapter will be up as soon as I get to it.
