A Summons

Two Weeks Later

Folding her arms over her chest Fira glanced out of the window. She could hear Kili walking towards her. As he slipped his arms around her waist she made no sound. Even when he began kissing her neck – something that normally had her sighing and moaning – she stayed silent.

"Fira?"

"Sorry," turning she smiled up at Kili, "I was just thinking that's all. It's been almost three months since we left and…"

"And you want to go back," Kili nodded. Blushing Fira smiled.

"If you don't then we can stay a bit longer. But I miss them all. Besides I'm healed now. We don't need to stay any longer."

Kili sighed, "You're right. I guess I've been trying to prolong going back. Obviously I want to see everyone else again but…"

"Thorin?"

Kili shook his head, "No. Well not really."

"So what then?"

Kili sighed, "When Gandalf visited he told me we should think about going back. He asked if I had left because I was scared. I said I was."

"Scared? Of what?" Fira couldn't help the scorn. There was nothing in Erebor for Kili to worry about. However, as she saw the look in his eyes she cupped his face.

"I'm sorry. What are you afraid of?"

"Of not being good enough," Kili mumbled, "I don't mean for you. But what if I can't be the prince everyone wants me to be? What if I mess it up? I helped reclaim the mountain Fira! People will expect things of me. Supposing I let them all down?"

"No," Fira whispered, "you won't. Kili. You will be a wonderful prince. I know you will be. Thorin will know you won't be perfect. He'll understand you need guidance. But you won't fail him Kili. You'll be amazing. I know it."

Kili sighed with a small nod, "What did I do to deserve you?"

Shrugging Fira kissed his bare chest. Kili grinned.

"You know we should probably get dressed. It is almost noon."

Eyes widening Fira scrambled out of his hold and grabbed a dark green dress.

"Why didn't you say so? Beorn's no doubt wondering where we are!"

Kili smirked as she changed, "Believe me my love; he'll have a very good idea about where we were."

Blushing as she thought back to their activities last night and the ones that had gone on into the morning, Fira ran a brush through her hair. As Kili got dressed she moved back towards the window. Gazing out her eyes narrowed as she saw a pony burst out from the trees that made up the border of Mirkwood – or rather the Greenwood. Gripping the desk Fira licked her lips as she saw the pony was being ridden by someone. Their blonde hair flapped about in the breeze and she could see swords on their back.

"Oh my…Kili!"

"What?" He ran to the window and Fira pointed to the rider.

"It's Fili."

Fira was ready to run down the stairs when Kili held her back.

"Wait," he kissed her nose, "The last thing I want is to see you fall and hurt yourself again."

Nodding Fira allowed him to go first. Privately she suspected Kili wanted to see Fili first. It was only fair after all. Fili was his brother not hers. Letting Kili go down Fira waited a few minutes before following. Before she reached the bottom she heard cries and cheers and suspected Beorn had let Fili in. Peeking around she saw both brothers hugging each other tightly. They drew apart and Fira smiled as she saw the tears on both faces. Brushing her dress down she cleared her throat.

"Do I not get a hug?"

Fili turned and Fira grinned as his mouth dropped. He glanced at her legs before looking back up at her.

"Fira…you…you're walking!"

"Is she?" Kili winked, "I thought something was different."

Rolling her eyes Fira ran forward and tacked Fili in a hug. He wrapped his arms around her tightly before letting her go. As Fili glanced at them both Fira wondered why he had come down.

"Look at you both. If this is what privacy does then I think myself and Mithiel will be having a whole year away!"

"How is she?" Fira gripped Kili's hand tightly. Fili beamed.

"My betrothed is doing fine."

"Your betr…you're getting married?" Kili gasped.

Fili nodded and Fira squealed. Hurrying forward she hugged him again; this time noticing the new braids in his hair. Letting go she prodded him in the chest.

"It's about time! You two were in love the second we left Rivendell!"

Fili blushed and Fira could see Kili nodding.

"She's right. Why it took you so long to tell her how you feel is beyond me."

"Yes because you told Fira about your feelings straightaway didn't you?" Fili grinned. Kili gulped.

"Well…that's different. I mean…we had other things to worry about and….oh shut up!"

Giggling Fira took his hand and hugged him close.

"I don't care how long it took. We're together now."

Kissing her head Kili nodded. Sighing Fira then turned to see Fili staring sadly at them. Knowing they couldn't put it off any longer she cleared her throat.

"So…why exactly have you come?"

As Fili spoke Fira wanted to be sick. Kili held her hand the entire time; whispering softly into her ear. But she couldn't stop shaking as Fili talked. Beorn poured tea before sitting down at the head of the table.

First Fili explained that they had been making progress with returning Erebor to it's former glory. It would take a while before everything was completely back to normal but it was a start.

He told them that the others from Ered Luin would arrive in a few months and Fira could see the light in Kili's eyes at the thought of seeing his mother again.

But then Fili's face had paled. It was clear he hadn't wanted to talk; but some gentle coaxing from Kili had him spilling the truth.

Sol and the Dragonborns had attacked the mountain.

"They just…" Fili shook his head, "they just arrived! They didn't attack us in the traditional sense. Sol was in his human form and the others…well they just hovered above the mountain. We didn't have doors up so he just walked right in."

Fira could feel Kili seething at this.

"Did they hurt anyone?"

Fili shook his head and Fira relaxed.

"No. They didn't care about us. They were looking for Fira."

Gulping Fira gasped as Kili wrapped an arm around her body; holding her against him.

"Why," he snapped, "Why her?"

Fili sighed, "They looked all over the mountain for her. We tried to stop them but Sol said one wrong move and Erebor would be raised to the ground."

Fira lowered her gaze and Kili pressed a gentle kiss to her cheek. Fili waited a few seconds before continuing.

"When they didn't find her they asked us where you had both gone. We didn't say anything," he added quickly, "Not even when they threatened us."

"I'm so sorry," Fira's lip trembled, "I'm so so sorry."

"No," Fili shook his head, "No this isn't your fault. Anyway when it was clear we wouldn't talk Sol ordered sent our rider to find you. Orc riders."

Fira froze, "That explains that then."

Kili nodded, "Why would orcs be in league with Dragonborns?"

"Sorry," Fili cleared his throat, "What are you talking about?"

As Kili explained about the orc attack Fira tried to settle her stomach. She could see Beorn standing in the background and he gave her a soft smile. Fili sighed.

"Are you alright? Did they hurt you or..?"

"No," Kili smiled, "We're fine. So what happened when the orcs failed to get Fira?"

"Well Sol was angry. Furious even. He decided on using another method to get you back. He ordered us to go and bring you back here. Thorin offered to go but I said I would. I figured you'd rather see me than him."

Kili simply shrugged at this whilst Fira held her hands together. Fili cleared his throat.

"I was going to warn you and help you escape. But Sol must have guessed what I was thinking. He told me if I didn't return with you both within the week he…" tears pooled in his eyes.

"He would kill Mithiel."

Fira couldn't hold it in. Pushing Kili's arm away she ran to the door. Taking deep breaths she threw up her breakfast and last nights dinner. Wiping her mouth she blinked back her tears and walked back in the house.

"Sorry I…I'm sorry."

Shaking his head Kili held her close. Fili smiled.

"I haven't stopped riding since I left."

Smiling Fira could see how tired Fili was. Now that he had finished talking it was clear he was struggling to stay awake. Kili must have seen it to because he got to his feet and hugged Fili close.

"Get some rest brother," he whispered, "We'll talk about what to do later."

It was clear how tired Fili was when he didn't bother protesting. As Kili led him up the stairs Fira held her head in her hands.

"This is all my fault," she whimpered, "Everything. If we had stayed at Erebor maybe…"

"Hush," Beorn rubbed her back, "You couldn't have foreseen this would happen. Besides; had you been at the mountain they would have had you in their grasp. Here you are safe."

"But the others are in danger!" Fira snapped. Beorn paused before nodding.

"But now you can help them."

Fira was saved from answering by Kili's arrival.

"How is he?"

"Exhausted," Kili rubbed his forehead, "I put him in our room."

Fira shifted so Kili could sit on the bench.

"I've never seen him so defeated," Kili whispered, "I know he wants to beg us to return but he doesn't want to think he's choosing Mithiel over us."

"He is," Fira said, "He should. She's his One. She will always come first for him."

Nodding Kili eyed her carefully.

"You're going back aren't you?"

"Of course. The others are in danger and it's my fault. If we don't go back I know Sol will carry out his threat. He doesn't bluff Kili trust me."

"But," Kili held her hands, "Why do they even want you?"

"I killed both their king and his son. That doesn't go down well in our culture."

"But the first time was in a fair fight. And again with Tharos. You can't be blamed for that!"

Fira shrugged, "Dragonborn justice is picky. In truth it's because I'm a half breed. They can't have me executed just for that so they'll land on the first excuse they can get."

Kili froze, "Fira if you go back….Sol will kill you."

"And if I don't he'll kill Mithiel and Valar knows who else. There is no choice Kili."

"But…" Kili bowed his head in defeat. Rubbing his hands Fira smiled.

"I won't let him hurt me Kili. But I need to go back to ensure the safety of the others."

Nodding Kili leaned over and kissed her.

"I love you so much Fira."

She giggled, showing him her ring, "Well that's a relief. I'd hate to marry someone who didn't love me."

Hugging him close Fira glanced over at Beorn.

"Are you sure about this?" He asked.

Nodding Fira smiled, "I'll be fine. Trust me."

Beorn smiled, "I will see you have plenty of supplies for the journey back."

Nodding Fira allowed Kili to gently rock her in his arms. Eyes half shut she was aware of being carried over towards the fire. Someone sat down in the chair with her in their lap whilst another person covered her with a blanket. Snuggling up to Kili Fira bit her lip. True they had been planning to go back; just not like this.

The next morning saw the three of them standing outside Beorns with two ponies. Hugging the skin changer tightly Fira tried to blink back her tears.

"Be safe Fira," Beorn said. Fira nodded; he almost never used her actual name unless he was being serious. Smiling Beorn glanced over at Kili who nodded.

"I won't let anyone hurt her."

"Good."

"I'll be fine," Fira rubbed Beorn's arm, "You must come and visit us. Promise?"

He bowed," I promise."

"Can we..?" Fili blushed, "I don't want to rush you but could we start moving?"

Biting her lip Fira kissed Beorn on the cheek before hurrying towards the pony. Kili helped pull her up so she was sitting in front of him. Holding on tight she kept watching Beorn as they rode off. As the giant moved back into the house she switched her gaze to Fili.

"I'm sorry about that," he whispered, "I just…I just want to get back to her."

"I understand," Fira smiled, "Honestly Fili I do."

He nodded, "I just feel so guilty. I should be telling you to run. Instead I'm bringing you back to the people who are trying to kill you."

"Fili stop it," Kili said, "If I was in your shoes and Fira's life was at risk then I would do it in a heartbeat. Please don't beat yourself up over this."

Fira watched Fili carefully before daring to bring up the question.

"What exactly does Sol want with me? I mean I can hazard a guess but…"

"He said, and I quote "The half breed bitch must pay for her crimes."" Fili growled, "When he said that I swear everyone wanted to stab him."

"Answer for her crimes?" Kili frowned, "What does he mean?"

"I overheard him talking to another one of them," Fili admitted, "As far as I'm aware they're planning to take you back to the Northern Wastelands and have you executed as a traitor."

Nodding Fira glanced down at her hands. It seemed strange to see smooth skin instead of scars. Kili held her close.

"They won't you know."

"Hmm?"

"They won't take you away. I'll kill each and every one of them before they can hurt you."

Nodding Fira looked over at Fili.

"Kili I…I don't really plan on going with them. But if I have no choice then you must promise to let me go."

"Fira shut up."

"Kili please!" Fira turned in the saddle to face him.

"If they threaten you of Fili or anyone else then I won't even think about it. I'll give myself up. And you must promise not to interfere if that happens. Please Kili just trust me."

He nodded before pressing his forehead to hers.

"It won't come to that though."

For his sake Fira shook her head. However as she looked over at Fili she could see he didn't believe her.

I bet you thought everything would be nice and peaceful now the quest is over? Sorry but not really sorry. After all Sol never really got dealt with did he? Let me know what you think xxx
