Note: Tharwen is basically a little sister to Thranduil, NO LOVE INTREST! STRICTLY PLATONIC! I tweaked the ages a bit, so Elladan and Elrohir are still older than Tharwen and her age is still somewhat close-ish to Thranduils. Legolas sees her as the mother he lost. Legolas is obviously jealous of Kili, just to point that out. But no he won't be paired with Tauriel neither will Kili. maybe,... I don't know. Tharwen's discription, appearance and voice is all left up to your own imaginations, but she is taller than the dwarves, her height is the same as elves and her outfit is Aragorns in Lotr. That's all I have to say about Tharwen. Tharken's, as I say, are my own creation, including their language and all the things than come along with Tharkens, their history, names mentioned etc. So copyright. Also, just incase you all are interested, this book will have five parts. The sequels will follow the storyline for Lotr, The fellowship off the ring, The two towers and Retunr off the king, as the 2nd, 3rd and 4th parts, whilst the 5th book will be something off my own creation.
Anyways, read on.

"Tharwen, echuio, I love you my sweet, sister, I need to see you smile." Thranduil pleaded softly.
"Adar?" Legolas said softly from the doorway.
"Yes Legolas?"
"The dwarf king wishes to speak to you."
"Why?"
"It's about Tharwen." Legolas said.
"What does he want to know about her?" Thranduil asked, standing from his seat next to the bed.
"He will not say."
"I will see to him." Just as Thranduil turned, Tharwen grasped his hand.
"Avo 'wanno na nîn nef er." She croaked. "Gwestog?" She asked, scared.
"Lath'rien..."
"Please. I'm scared..." She whimpered.
"Tharwen, can you see me?" Thranduil asked gently.
Tharwen let out a sob as she shook her head. "No. Why can't I see you? Muindor? Why?" She sobbed.
Thranduil knelt next to her wrapping and arm around her.
"It'll be alright. Everything will be alright. I promise, av-'osto. How do you feel?" He asked softly, wiping her tears away.
"My head hurts and my stomach, I'm hungry..." She mumbled.
"I'll get the healers to bring you some broth."
"Is Legolas there?" She asked suddenly. "I mean I can feel another but..." She trailed off.
"It's alright, and yes Legolas is here. Ion nin." Thranduil said, motioning Legolas to come closer.
"Hey." He said softly.
"Hey Legolas. Thanks for finding us." She said.
"Us?"
"Me and Kili, we were separated from the others." She clenched her teeth as she felt searing pain behind her eyes.
"Kili?"
"The tall one, well taller than the other dwarves, dark hair." She said before coughing.
"Oh him." Legolas sneered.
"Where are they?" She asked through coughs.
"In the dungeons." Thranduil answered.
"Can I go see them?" She asked.
"You're not exactly in a good condition to go and do that." Thranduil said softly.
"Please?" She asked, pouting slightly.
"Don't give me that face. Oh Tharwen fine. I'll take you down there." Thranduil gave in.
"Thank you, muindor." She gave him a small smile.

"Tharwen!" Fili clanged against the cell bars as Thranduil helped her down the steps.
"Fili?" She lifted her head.
"Here!" He reached out his hand through the bars.
She felt his hand brush against her arm and she reached blindly for it.
"I can't see you."
"What do you mean? I'm right here Tharwen."
"Her eyesight's temporarily damaged." Thranduil said softly, pushing the her hair out off her eyes.
Fili's eyes widened at the gentle gesture. There was more between the two than he interpreted from Thorin's message that Bilbo passed on, he didn't make a comment.
"Oh, well Tharwen, you're okay now right?" Fili asked.
She nodded.
"Good, now go see Kili, he's worried about you." Fili said.
"Um, can't see remember." She bit her lip nervously.
"Oh yeah."
"Kili!" Fili called from his cell.
"Fili!" Kili replied.
"Tharwen's here." He said and the other dwarves peered out off their cells.
"Tharwen!" Kili, Bofur, Nori and the others called.
"Just making this clear I can't see ish-jaitr nah!" She said aloud.
"What?" She heard Kili asked as Thranduil smacked her arm.
"Language Lath'rien!" He scolded.
"What she say?"
"She said she can't see shit." He flinched at the curse.
"Well! I can't!" She snapped.
"Then you shouldn't have convinced me to help you come down here right?" He argued. "Now come on, you wanted to talk to them. Who do you want to talk to next? I promised I'll help you and I will."
"Where's Thorin?"
"Why do you-?"
"Where is he?"
"Lath'rien.."
"Where is he, Thranduil honestly, will you take me too see him, and let us talk without spying?"
"If that is what you wish Lath'rien. Then I will allow it." He sighed.

"Tharwen. Are you okay?"
"Thorin."
"Did they hurt you?"
"Thorin..."
"Did the spiders hurt you?"
"Thorin."
"Did Thranduil do anything to you?"
"Thorin god dammit listen to me." She shouted over Thorin's constant questions.
"Sorry."
"I'm fine. Thranduil's looking after me."
"We'll leave soon, in a week, if my eyesight comes back, if not you leave without me." She said.
"No Tharwen, I won't leave without you."
"Why not? This isn't my quest, Thorin, if my eyesight doesn't come back, I will be no use on this quest. You have to go without me." She said truthfully.
"I won't leave a member off this company behind." He said stubbornly.
"But I'm not right, I never signed anything, I'm here on my own free will, because I decided to help you. And this counts, I will only slow you down."
"No, you won't I'll help you, Kili and Fili will help you. Bilbo will help you."
"Thorin, why do you want me to stay? Why, it's just making this so much harder?" She half pleaded, half sighed.
"I don't want to part with you, Tharwen..." He seemed hesitant at first. "I love you."
Tharwen gave him a pained face and looked distraught. "Thorin."
"Look if it's about the quest I understand, but I cannot leave without you, it would be leaving my heart behind."
"Thorin, it's not that."
"Then what is it?"
"I can't love you. Thorin love isn't fair, life isn't fair. I lost my one to something I could have stopped and I physically and mentally incapable of loving you. It's the way I was made."
"I love you."
"But I can't love you Thorin."
"Why?"
"Because. My heart isn't built for loving other races." She said tiredly.
"But you'll let me love you?" He asked, somewhat desperately.
"Thorin, you will only lend up hurting yourself, is that what you want? To be hurt?" She asked.
"I only ask you let me do one thing Tharwen." He says softly.
"What is it Thorin?"
"Let me have one kiss, from you." He asks. "So I can know what your lips feel like in case I die on this quest."
Tharwen leaned back, slowly resting her head against the wall.
"Right because you're gonna die. You're tougher than nails Thorin Oakenshield. I don't think you'll die on this quest!" She said.
"Please?" Thorin sounded so sad to Tharwen.
"Okay, but you'll have to come here."
"You are my world Tharwen." Thorin said softly, lips ghosting Tharwens.
Tharwen closed her eyes and Thorin kissed her slowly, hand cupping the back off her neck.
Pulling away, Thorin kissed Tharwens forehead.
"Thank you." He felt something damp and noticed tears trickling down Tharwens face.
*x*x*x
Note: Lath'rien is Tharwen's Tharkeen name. Only Thranduil calls her that.
NO she will not be dating Thorin.
NO she isn't going to date anyone in the company.
Translations: (Sindarian)
