A/N: Welcome Everyone to my newest story, Some Hearts. Thanks for clicking into the story! I appreciate just the opportunity to bring you to my little world. I have been obsessed with the Hobbit movies recently and found myself dreaming up this story.

I will warn you: the romance will be slow building and I will change some things in the story but not majorly. I haven't decided on the ending either but have two options I am debating.
I sometimes picture Gemma Arterton as Cara, but feel free to imagine who you please! (Just Let me know who you think of!)

Summary: Caralith of the Dunedain often finds herself pulled into many other endeavors in the south. One day, she notices an odd company of dwarves, a wizard, and a hobbit. After a nasty run in with some Trolls she finds herself being a second guide to the group. However, she stays along much longer then she intends after befriending a few within the group. Follow the company on their journey to reclaim the Lonely Mountain. Eventual Kili/OC.

Prologue: Dwarves in the Wild?

I narrowed my eyes as I saw the figures moving through the trees, fifteen in total each varying in size and shape. I watched closely as they marched along. They were not being secretive or stealthy, simply traveling along. However, something in the back of my mind made me weary of them.

Remaining in the shadows, I watched the group as they came closer to my position. The leader was tall and dressed in all gray with a pointed hat. A smile found my lips as I recognized him as Gandalf the Gray, one of the five Istari, and a dear friend. I was now torn. I had orders to keep the rangers' presence along this path secretive but it had been nearly five years since I last saw the wizard. My thoughts were halted as I noted the most of the company to be short stout beings, Dwarves. But the fifteenth member was more petit and dainty…a hobbit. Peculiar group of comrades I must say.

I argued with myself whether to engage them or leave them to their own. However, my curiosity won out and I followed them. After a couple hours, I decided the only way to find out their intentions would to be make myself known. They weren't doing much just walking along the road and camping for the night only once the sun left the sky. Surely, if their purpose is honorable, they would not mind a visit from the local ranger.

Just a short little teaser! Hope you will enjoy the rest of the story!
