I could not forget last night. I was trying desperately hard to remember the events of last night.
"Forget about her brother."
"I do not even remember what happened. I want to Fili. I felt something. Something I never felt for any woman before. I wish I could remember."
"Believe me brother sometimes there are things one should forget."
I sighed, his words were wise, but I want to remember her.
"Caladwen." I whispered.
"What?" asked Fili
"Nothing."
He let it go but I think he knew what I had said. I hoped that I would see her again.
Caladwen's P.O.V.
I woke up next to Kili. But it was the state of which I woke up that scared me.
"Oh no..."
As I tried to leave he turned and looked at me and in that moment...I no longer regretted what I had done. I fell for him. My people could only love once. And I had made my choice. I looked at the handsome dwarf lying beside me. I smiled and moved a lock of hair from his face.
"Caladwen?"
I heard my companions calling and I swiftly dressed and joined them.
"Let us away. Though I will only remain with you until Sarn Ford."
"You are certain? You know that you are always welcomed among us. We are your people as much as the elves." Halbaran said.
I smiled and embraced him.
"I know my friend. But something has come up and it now bounds me to another place."
"And I do not suppose you shall tell us where." said Elgaraine.
I smiled and shook my head. Elgaraine had been close friends with me for years. She looked at me now with a sad expression. I pulled her into a tight hug.
"I will see you again my friend. I promise."
She held me tight.
"I shall hold you to your word."
I smiled and we set off. I would miss them, I truly would. But now I made a choice that had changed my life forever.
Kili's P.O.V.
We finally made it to the shire and to Bag End. We rang the bell and the hobbit answered.
"Fili."
"And Kili."
"At your service." we said.
We bowed then I smiled.
"You must be Mr. Boggins!"
"No! You cannot come in you have come to the wrong house."
He tried to close the door but I stopped him.
"What?! Has it been canceled?" I asked in shock.
"No one told us." said Fili
"Ca-No nothing has been canceled."
"Well that is a relief."
I walked inside and Fili followed. It was a homely place.
"Careful with these. I just had them sharpened." Fili said
I walked back out to him.
"It is nice, this place. Did you do it yourself?"
"Oh no it has been in the family for years."
I started to wipe my boots on a wooden box.
"That is my mother's jewelry box could you please not do that!"
"Fili! Kili! Come on. Give us a hand."
Someone put their arm around my shoulder and I smiled.
"Mister Dawlin!"
Balin was there as well.
"Let us shove this in the hole otherwise we will never get everyone in." he said
"Everyone?! How many more are there?"
Another rang of the bell came and he walked off to it shouting along the way. The others had come, along with Gandalf. However, uncle was still missing. Another rang of the bell came and Gandalf went to answer it.
"Hello my dear. Can I help you?"
I was curious to who this stranger could be.
"My name is Caladwen daughter of Thalion. I am Kili's wife."
My eyes widened and I fell to the floor.
