Chapter 2
Getting Ready for the Quest
A week before the Quest for Erebor. (AN: I was going to do more stuff, but I had writers block and would love to get this story going.) Fili and I had been getting close with our courting. When we had free time, we were together and I would train with Fili at times with Kili. I couldn't be more happy and I knew Fili was happy Word was going around that Thorin, my father was going on a quest to reclaim Erebor and so far Fili and Kili were among the thirteen dwarves to be going.
"Your not going and that's final." Thorin said. I stood firm and strong in front of Thorin as he stood by the fireplace, smoking his pipe.
"I'm going. I go where Fili goes and he's going. I can fight Adar. Please." I said, stomping my foot.
"Thorin. Let her go." Dis said with a sigh. Fili and Kili came in and I hurried up to Fili with a slight pout on my face.
"What's wrong, love." Fili asked.
"Thorin won't let me go on the quest with you guys." I said, wrapping my arms around his waist.
"Uncle. Let her come. She's as good as Kili and I." Fili said, looking at Thorin.
"She's a girl and she would be a distraction for you." Thorin said.
"She would be the reason I would go and I will protect her. I'm not going if she's not going." Fili said. My eyes widen at his words.
"And I'm not going if Fili's not going." Kili said. Thorin pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Fine she can go. Fili. Your responsible for her." Thorin said. I ran to Thorin and hugged him.
"Thanks Adar." I said, kissing his check. I heard Fili chuckle. I curled up in my chair by the fire with a book as Fili and Kili talked with Thorin as they smoke their pipes.
A few hours later. I set the book on the shelf and caught Fili's eye as I head to my room. I slip onto the balcony and stood by the railing. I heard the door open and then close. A few moments later arms wrapped around me and Fili placed a kiss on my neck.
"I'm glad you're coming." Fili said. I turn in his arms and wrap my arms around his neck.
"Thank you for standing up with me." I said.
"I wouldn't go without you." Fili said, kissing my lips and I returned the kiss. Fili and I curled up on my bed together and I ran my fingers lightly over his chest. Fili was silent.
"What's wrong?" I ask, leaning up on my elbows to look at him.
"What if I can't protect you and your killed or I die." Fili said. I took his face in my hands.
"Don't say that. We both will get out of this alive and you'll protect me. I know you will." I said. Fili smiled and kissed me. I fell asleep with my head on his chest.
The day we were leaving. Thorin had already left for a meeting. The dwarves were all meeting in the Shire and going separately. Fili, Kili, and I were going together.
"Be safe you three." Dis said, hugging us both.
"We will Ma." Kili said.
"Make sure she stays safe." Dis said.
"Ma. I will. Stop it. We need to get going." Fili said. Dis nodded. Fili got on his pony while I got on mine. We were heading for the Shire to meet our burglar and start the quest to get back our homeland from Smaug.
AN: Sorry for the long wait. I had writers block and decided to get them on the quest. Sorry if it sounds rushed. I'm trying not to. Next chapter will be up soon, because I know what I am doing as the story goes. :)
