Chapter 9
Heartbreak and Capture

Fili's POV. My heart stopped as I saw her fall and scream as she fell.

"NO!" I cry out, almost throwing myself after her, but Dwalin and Bofur held me back. I didn't pay attention to them getting Bilbo up and Thorin almost falling. My eyes scanned looking for Astra. My heart felt like it was breaking.

"Fili." Kili said, hurrying over and pulled me into a hug. Thorin said something about Bilbo not being unwanted.

"I lost her Fili. I promised Lily that I would bring her back alive." I whisper.

"Maybe there is a chance she survived." Kili said.

"Who can survive a fall like that." I said.

"She's got a strong will to live and a daughter and man who loves her. Don't give up, Fili." Thorin said, coming over. I nod as tears fell willingly. Kili and Thorin hugged me and lead me into the cave.

"Let's get a fire started." Gloin heard but I didn't say anything and ignored everyone. I laid on the floor and closed my eyes remembering Astar and her fun-loving self and the memories we made.

Astra's POV. I woke up laying on a brush that cushioned my fall. I groaned and got off it. I look up.

"FILI!"I call, but there was no answer. I pulled my cloak closer to me. I knew I would have to find them. I saw a path and started walking. I shivered from the cold. I hurried down the path and slowed to a walk for a while. I heard paws on the ground and turn. A pale orc sat on top of the white org. My eyes widen and I run.

"Bring me the She Elf for I know her." Azog said in the black speech, which I understood perfectly. I felt a pain in my back and I fell. I pulled a dagger out as an Orc grabbed me and pulled me towards Azog.

"Azog. Thorin said you were dead and I thought so too." I said in the Black Speech.

"So you're the elf that fought with Thorin Oakenshield at the Gates of Moria. I thought you looked familiar and the braids in you hair mark you as a Line of Durin is courting you. Is it Thorin or his nephews?" Azog said in the black Speech. I spit in his face.

"I will never say." I said in the black speech. I got backhanded and was dragged to a warg and threw on with my hands tied. We rode for a few hours as the sun was setting. We came over a cliff and I heard voices. Azog grabbed me by the hair and made me look at him.

"You will watch as I slay your friends. Kill them all!" Azog shouted in the black speech. I screamed out a warning as the wargs went running. I couldn't see my friends die.

AN: There's the new chapter. I skipped Goblin Town. Please don't be mad. I wrote it to many times in my others and wanted to do something new.
