Chapter 1

The story that I am about to tell is something that you would probably think of as a false story or a fairytale. But I do assure you that it isn't like that. I suppose I should start at the beginning before I was even brought into the world that I had gotten to know and love.

July 20, 2014

Tony went through the photos that she had in her home. She was throwing pictures away of a man and her together. He had left her for someone else and it made her upset that he had knocked her up instead of being with Tony who he said he loved. He had given the ring to the girl that he had knocked up being a proper man, but he couldn't be a proper man and tell Tony that he was cheating on her.

Tony wiped her tears from her green eyes. She winced, he had left a bruise on her cheek from when he had struck her due to his anger. She had refused to allow herself to cry and she saw it as a weakness. She didn't want to see herself as weak as he had made her. She picked up the bag and decided to throw out the bag into the garbage that would be going out that night. She walked out the door dressed in a pair of black pants, black boots, and a blue long-sleeved shirt with bell sleeves. Her light reddish-brown hair was tied back into a braid. She walked down the stairs of her apartment building and went to the back. She threw the trash into the garbage bin that was there for the tenants to use. She let out a soft sigh as she closed it.

She closed her eyes and began to walk away from it. She wouldn't allow her mind to think about her ex-boyfriend and how he broke up with her. Sure she wasn't like a model like a girl that he was with now and she certainly didn't think that she was beautiful even though her friends had told her she was. She ran her hand over her face. She needed to get out of there and fast. She began to walk away from her apartment complex and decided to go where she normally went to and that was to walk in the woods that was close by to the apartment complex.

She crossed her arms as she walked into the woods slowly. She couldn't believe that she had allowed such a man in her life. Her best friends Rosalie and Annalyse had told her that he was bad news at the start. She didn't listen to them about this and now she had her heartbroken and there was no way that she would be able to repair it at the moment.

As she continued to walk she realized that something was wrong. She didn't know these woods. These were not the woods that she was walking in before. Where the hell was she? "What the hell." She whispered to herself. "I need to get out of here."

It was getting colder and darker out which told her that night was not that far away from taking the land. She was becoming hungry and she didn't have any food. She turned sharply when she heard someone arguing. She poked her head up over the bush that she was near. Her green eyes widened with what she saw. Two men with long hair. One had dark hair that was messier than his friend who had golden blond hair.

"I am not childish Fee." The man with dark hair said to his friend.

"Oh Kee you are. You lost the map and we need to get there soon. Thorin will not be pleased if we are late for something this important." His golden blond-haired friend said.

"You are childish. You are the one that had the map last, not me." The man said, pouting at the golden-haired man.

Tony could not believe that these two were fighting about a map like this. Two men didn't know that she was listening. She gasped when she saw the golden blond-haired one turn.

Well, that did it the two men ended up turning around and seeing her standing there. They took in her appearance and saw that she had a bruise on one of her eyes which they knew that she must have gotten into some kind of scuffle with someone or something. But the matter at hand was how much had this woman heard and who was she.

"Who are you?" The golden blond-haired one asked her, crossing his arms. He was not pleased that this young woman was spying on them.

Tony bit her lip. Well, this was a big problem that she had landed herself in. She was hoping that they wouldn't have looked her way when she had gasped, but there was no way that she was going to get out of trouble like this. "Tony."

The two men looked at one another confused. What kind of name was Tony? It wasn't a name for a girl.

The dark-haired one smiled as he looked back at her. "Kili and this is my brother Fili. At your service Lady Tony." He said bowing to her.

Tony's eyes widened. She was not expecting the dark-haired one, who now revealed himself as Kili to be so polite. His brother Fili didn't seem to like her that much just by the way that he was looking at her. His arms crossed with a stern look on his face.

Fili was not happy to see a woman out and listening in on their conversation. "Why were you listening in on our conversation?" He demanded looking her directly in her green eyes. Green clashing against his blue one.

Tony looked down at the wooded ground. "It wasn't my fault." She said softly, as she put her hands in her pockets. She looked up at them. "You both were speaking loudly. Anyone would have heard you talking about what you were talking about." She removed her hands from her pockets and crossed her arms. "So you can't blame me for hearing what the two of you were talking about." She shook her head.

Fili's blue eyes darkened. He wasn't happy that she was acting this way. He didn't even want her to be right there with them so close to starting their quest. There was no way that he was going to allow this woman to go with them and have to explain to their Uncle Thorin why she was there.

Kili tilted his head to the side. "What is a pretty lass like yourself doing out here all alone?" He asked curiously. Usually, women had someone with them and Tony looked like she was all by herself. He wasn't about to allow her to wander off all alone. It wouldn't make him feel right if she was all alone.

"I got lost. I was walking through the woods and I don't know where I am." She said softly. She rubbed her arm. She saw Fili's look in anger. "It wasn't like I was wanting to get lost." She looked away from his eyes feeling that it was too much like how her ex would look at her in anger. She didn't want to be hit again for something that she didn't do.

Fili rolled his eyes and scoffed. He knew that Thorin would not approve of them allowing a woman to be on her own, but she was going to be a distraction. One that neither he nor his brother could afford.

Kili smiled at her. "Come with us," Kili said kindly not thinking of how his uncle would feel about having a woman there.

Fili looked at his brother. "What?" He demanded. He didn't know what the heck Kili was thinking, but a woman like the one that stood before them was going to be an easy distraction for everyone who was going to be there.

Tony's eyes went wide and her green eyes locked with Kili's brown ones. She was searching to see if he meant the truth.

"Kili we can't take her." Fili hissed at his brother.

Kili looked at his brother. "She is alone brother. We can't leave her here to starve, Fee." Kili said, locking his brown eyes with his brother's blue ones. He couldn't believe that Fili was being a pain about it.

"We are not going to bring her with us. She will be a distraction to the rest of us. Uncle will not be pleased with the choice of you bringing her." Fili said, throwing his hands up in the air. He wasn't going to argue with his little brother, but bringing this woman with them someone that they didn't know was dangerous and Kili knew it.

"Fee she is defenseless," Kili told his brother.

Tony let out a soft sigh. "Look if you don't want to help me that is fine." She told them. She didn't want to hear two brothers fighting in front of her.

Kili looked at her in surprise. He hadn't expected her to say that. He wanted her to go with them no matter what Fili thought. "No, you are coming with us." He looked at Fil. "She has to come with us. She'll be safe in the Shire."

Fili's knuckles began to turn white. His hands were that tight. He didn't want Tony to come with them.

"Fee she has no food." Kili pressed his older brother.

Fili looked over at Tony with a scrutinizing gaze. He was taking in how she looked at that moment. He could tell right away that she didn't have any food on her. The way that she was dressed was something that he was not used to seeing. A woman dressed in black pants, boots, and a blue top. The top didn't do her much justice. It made him want to look at her upper body with a lustful gaze, but he couldn't allow himself to look at her like that. She was, after all, deterring them from their quest to the Shire. He let out a sigh. He told Kili in a harsh language that Tony didn't understand.

Kili smiled and looked at Tony. "You are coming with us."

Tony looked at him in surprise. Fili had agreed to allow her to go with them. She thought that he was going to fight more with Kili on this, but she was very wrong.

"Come on, we can't be late," Kili said, grabbing onto her arm.

She pulled her arm away from Kili and her eyes were wide. She didn't want him touching her. She was going to have a hard time trusting these two men, but she was hungry and needed food.

Kili looked at her in confusion. He wasn't sure of why she had pulled her arm from him. He saw something in her green eyes. Something that he had never seen in a woman's eye before.

"I rather if you didn't do that." She said softly rubbing her arm. "I will follow." She didn't want to admit that she didn't want Kili or Fili touching her due to what had happened to her before.

Kili didn't press the matter and nodded his head. "Shall we Fee?" Kili asked, looking at his brother with an impish smile.

Fili just nodded his head. He didn't say a word before he began to walk towards the Shire.

Kili and Tony were in tow behind him. Keeping up with the golden blond dwarf was easy enough for the two of them.
