I'm really sorry for not updating for so long :(

I had to study and take some test for school but now it's partly done! So, here's a nice long chapter :D

Happy late Valentines day everyone! *cries while writing chapter and viciously eating strawberry chocolate*
Also, everything that is misspelled in this chapter is for a reason! :)
Enjoy reading! xoxo

By the time I finished bathing, found some new clothes and made my hair presentable (Not really, I just jammed it up in a ponytail) it was already dark outside. The Elves had given me some traveling clothes as promised. Thankfully, it wasn't a long-sleeved dress that I'd most likely trip on. The following are the things that they gave me: A pair of brown tights, knee-length leather boots that were really comfy, a maroon tunic with puffed out shoulders, a dark brown corset over it and a long dark cloak for traveling. Overall it was really nice. I have to add that almost 90% of the clothing items are from the Elven children because compared to me, the Elves are hella tall.

"Don't you Elves have something that-err-covers up more?" I asked Belle, pulling up my tunic. It was just right but the cleavage was a bit out of my comfort zone. Belle sighed and helped me with the corset.

"It fits perfectly." She said, tightening the corset. "Besides, I am sure that your beardless dwarf friend won't mind." Belle said in a teasing tone. I held my breath and made a quiet whimpering noise, my cheeks flushed.

"Done." She said with a tiny smirk. I smiled and made a few twirls in my new outfit, pleased with the results.

"How long will you been staying at Rivendell?" Belle asked. I shrugged and turned towards her. Even though we're only a few hours here I already feel like home. I could really get used to this life. Fancy baths, beautiful clothes, peaceful music ... Heaven. All this sounds very tempting but when I think about it, I'd rather go traveling with the dwarves. They are part of my family now, plus, I couldn't survive without Bombur's cooking.

"I dunno," I told her. "I hope it's for a longer time." I say with a wide grin. Belle is one of the cooler Elves I had the chance to meet and I'll be really sad once we leave.

"I hope so too" she said, patting my shoulders. "Now, you should go join your dwarf friends." She said cheerfully. I nodded and waved goodbye to her.

You'd think that I'd have a hard time finding the way through the Elvish long hallways but the noise the dwarves were making could be heard from a plane. Seriously, I wonder how these guys manage not to get caught by the orcs. They literally burst out in a song every time they have a chance. Though, I'm surprised how they all stay in tune and know the words.

They were all huddled around a fire they made, the stew slowly cooking in the pot. Awesome, they got some actual food. In the corner of the room Kili and Fili were nonchalantly lying on a bench thing, smoking their pipes. Fili noticed me first.

"Oriana!" he shouted really loudly on purpose, nudging Kili in the shoulder. I shot him a nasty look and walked towards them. The other dwarves joined in in the name shouting. At the mention of my name Kili raised his head in interest. He looked up at me his grin turning in to a baffled look.

"No more dresses?" Fili asked amusingly. I rolled my eyes and leaned on the wall.

"It wasn't really my style." I said with a shrug. "Why, does this look bad?" I asked, looking down at my outfit. Fili shook his head and grinned.

"Not at all, what do you think brother?" he asked Kili who was staring up at me. I glanced at Kili but he didn't say anything, just continued to stare at me. Suddenly, I felt really uncomfortable. I cleared my throat and pulled the tunic up, my cheeks flushed.

"Kili?" Fili laughed amusingly pushing him playfully. Kili blinked a few times and then awkwardly looked away.

"You-uh- you look lovely tonight" he mumbled. I giggled and opened my mouth to respond.

"I-I mean, not just tonight!" he said, jumping up from his seat. "You look lovely in general and well…" he trailed off snatching the glass of wine away from Bifur and downing it. I plopped down on the bench while laughing at his awkwardness.

"-Bombur!" Bofur said, throwing a sausage at the ginger dwarf. Bombur caught it with extreme eagerness, smiling proudly at us. But that didn't last long. There was a creaking noise and then the table he was sitting on cracked, making him fall down. All of us fell in a fit of loud laughs while the chubby dwarf wiggled with his tiny legs, trying to get up. I clutched my stomach and wiped the tears from laughing. Man I love these dwarves!

"Oriana!" Fili called from besides me. I looked up at him only to see that he's holding a glass of wine. I raise my eyebrow curiously at him.

"You want ME to drink?" I ask blankly. Fili nodded with a wide grin. I gulped nervously and shook my head.

"I'm not really good with drinking." I mumbled quietly. "I'll end up throwing it up."

Fili snorted and shoved the glass in my hands while I glared at him.

"Even better," he said. "Now drink, you need practice."

I sighed in surrender and mumbled a "here goes nothing" before gulping down the entire glass. At first the cold liquid burned my throat but then it felt really refreshing. When I was done with the first glass I snatched the second one away from Fili and downed it. All of the dwarves laughed and whistled whilst cheering at me.

"Oh the lass is going to have a bad headache in the mornin'!" Dwalin laughed. I frowned at him feeling a little warm and fuzzy on the inside.

"Aye!" Bofur agreed. "Elvish wine is the strongest."

"What'r you talkin' 'bout…" I slurred, narrowing my eyes at the now blurry dwarves in front of me. "I feelr fine…" I said drunkly, my eyelids dropping. There was a second where I thought "Oh crap I'm drunk" before my brain blacked out and went full drunk mode. Now I was out of control.

"Man, I rly wanna have a beard." I slurred, stroking my bare face. Wouldn't it be cool if I had a beard? I could like, make it long as Gandalf's and then braid it. Beards are cool. I laughed loudly and leaned forwards, grabbing another glass of wine. Fili barked out a laugh and snatched the glass away from me, turning towards Kili. It's needless to say that I glared furiously at him.

"That's enough drinking for tonight," he said with a smile. "Brother, help Oriana find her chamber." He said to Kili who nodded and tried to help me up. I waved my hands frantically in the air.

"I-" I had started dramatically, standing up. "Am fully and utterly cpble of finding my own chambr… room… thing by myself, thank yr very mch" I exclaimed drunkly. Kili rolled his eyes catching me just in time before I got a chance to collide with the floor. I giggled and twirled a piece of his hair between my fingers.

"You've got really pretty hair." I said, smiling sheepishly. "And a cute face… Are you a model?"

Kili smiled amusingly at me and picked me up bridal style to which I yelled "weeeee!"

"Come on Oriana, let us get you to your chamber." He said with a tired sigh. I nodded stupidly and turned to look at the other dwarves.

"Adios my dwarfish dudes!" I yelled, waving to them. They bursted out laughing and waving back at me.

"Such nice dwarves…" I said dreamily. Kili chuckled quietly while I gazed up at him. He really was stunning. I loved how the moonlight hit his face making him look like a god with his beautiful eyes and hair and lips and everything…

"Can I have anothr drink?" I asked pouting innocently at him.

"You are drunk Oriana," he said quietly with an amusing tone. "If you take one more drink you'll pass out."

I nodded slowly and sighed, burring my face in his chest.

"I don't wanna die again…" I mumbled very quietly but it didn't go unnoticed by Kili. He stopped walking and gently placed me down, cupping my face. His eyes were soft, worried and loving.

"What do you mean by "dying again" Oriana?" he asks slowly. I shrug nonchalantly and wave it off.

"I'm gonna tell yr a secret but you have t' promise me you won't tellr no one." I slurred, putting a finger on his mouth. I felt his lips stretch in to a small smile as he slowly nodded.

"Okay, I'm not rly from here." I said laughing stupidly. "I was a human girl once. I got reaaaaally drunk at my friend's party and kind of died. Then Gandalf found me and made me his dghter and now I'm here wit yr guys!" I continued, smiling at Kili who stared blankly at me. He sighed and tried to move the hair away from my face.

"Oriana, you're drunk and you don't know what you are talking about-"

"Kili," I said, taking his hand. "You believe me right? Please tell me yr do…" I mumbled quietly. He stared at me for a long time and then finally sighed.

"So, Gandalf's not your father?" he asked. I chuckled and shook my head.

"I knew it." He said with a tiny laugh. I giggled and pushed him playfully.

"Liar," I said laughing. "Can't yr see Gandalf and I have the same eyebrws?" I asked, wiggling my eyebrows. Kili barked out a laugh and followed me for support while I drunkly walked around.

"Kili!" I suddenly yelled, stopping in my tracks and turning towards him. He also stopped, surprised.

"Yes?"

"I shall sing to you the song of my people!" I exclaimed brightly. He laughed crossing his arms and smirking don at me. This is going to be a hell of a show.

"Alright Miss Oriana, sing."

I grinned widely at him and cleared my throat in preparation for singing. Here goes nothing-

"Whooooo- lives in a pineapple under the sea- Spngbob sqrpants-" I sang loudly, spreading my arms. Kili bursted out laughing catching me by the waist as I dropped down.

"No, no, no, no, no, no… no," I said, shushing him. "This was just a test. Now I'll sing the dwarf song." I said raising a finger in the air. I had vaguely remembered the song Thorin and the dwarves sang in Bilbo's hobbit hole because the song was relaxing and the lyrics were really interesting. Kili smiled and I took that as I "go on, sing". So I did. Closing my eyes I sang the Misty Mountains Cold song.

"Far over the Misty Mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day
To find our long-forgotten gold…"

I finished singing and opened my eyes. Surprisingly I didn't stutter or slur the words whilst. The song is just too beautiful to ruin it. Kili was staring at me, speechles. I groaned and flung my head backwards.

"I know, I know," I mumbled. "I sing rly horribly."

Kili blinked a few times and then raised my chin to look at him. Even in a drunken state my cheeks were flushed from his gaze.

"That was far from horrible. That was beautiful" he said breathlessly, staring me square in the eyes. I smiled up at him, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Thank you, that's rly-" but my words get lost in the night air as our faces leaned closer to each other, inches apart.

And then, there was a voice.

"Kili, Kili!"

We both jumped apart at the sound of Fili's voice echoing through the hallways. He walked over to us as we stood awkwardly away from each other. Fili gave us a strange look.

"Brother, how long does it take you to escort a drunken girl to her chamber?" Fili asked with a laugh. Kili laughed nervously and scratched the back of his neck.

"Well, if yr'd excuse me I will escrt ths drunken girl to her room by myself… bye!" I said and scurried away to a random empty room with a large bed. I leaned against the door whit a large smile on my face. Did we just almost kiss? And did Fili interrupt our almost kiss? I'll have to smack him for that. When I was finished with scolding Fili in my mind I walked clumsily towards the bed and fell on it, instantly falling asleep. Little did I know that this was the only time I'd be getting a proper calm sleep…
