Between Us//Kili Fanfiction

Chapter 42

Standing up I smile at Bilbo as I say my goodbyes to the other dwarves and give Gloin his necklace back which he thanks me a million times very grateful for having it back in his possession, and then come to Kili who has a sad smile on his face. "I guess we won't see each other after this." He sighs sadly.

"I guess so, I wish you luck." I say with a small smile.

"Brynn, there's something I need to tell you." He whispers so I can only hear.

Raising an eyebrow I lean down slightly looking at him. "And what is that?" I whisper back feeling my heart pound against my chest.

"I wanted to tell you that I l-." He starts, but gets cut off by my father's voice.

"I hope you are finished with saying goodbye to them because they are now leaving." Dad says coldly staring at them.

Nodding I give a sad smile to them as they get escorted out of the throne room to wherever father is having them being led out. "Were you being serious?" I ask.

"About what?" He asks looking at me.

"About me not seeing them ever again." I explain farther hoping those words father said was untrue.

"Yes, you will not be seeing them again." He says looking at me. "Is that an issue?"

Staring back at him I stay quiet knowing I need to choose my words wisely or it'll end badly. "A little." I whisper.

"Why is it an issue? They're dwarves Brynn, they do not care for you in the way you think they do." He bitterly says standing up.

"You don't know that Ada." I whisper. (Father/dad)

"Brynn, one of them has made you cry." He mumbles. "I can guarantee you they called you names and made you feel less then them because you're an Elf."

I stare him and swallow the slight lump in my throat knowing he's right. "Maybe it's not just about the dwarves, there's Bilbo who I care about deeply, or maybe it's the other dwarves who don't have home who are waiting for Erebor to be reclaimed, so they can have a home. I care for them just as much." I explain. "Father, it's not just about Thorin and his company, it's also the others who have also been affected by what happened, about Bilbo who got dragged into this without knowing anything of the devastation Smaug brought."

He stares at me quietly with an unreadable expression thinking about what I said. He purses his lips into a thin line as he sighs deeply. "You are so much like your mother, Brynn. It's scary sometimes." He whispers. Staring into father's steel blue eyes I smile softly at him. "You act just like her, you have her pure heart and her never ending kindness on wanting to help people." He smiles back looking at me with sadness mixed with a little bit of happiness as well. Hugging dad tightly I rest my head on his chest knowing how much he misses mother. Father hugs back and kisses my head gently while holding me close to his body scared that I might slip away from him again. Sighing happily I listen to father's strong heartbeat as he rubs my back gently.

"I love you Ada." (Father/dad) I whisper.

"I love you too Brynn." He says smoothing my hair down gently. Pulling away from the hug father kisses my forehead gently.

"Thank you for being my father."

"Thank you for making me father all over again." He smiles pushing some of my hair out of my face. Smiling softly our little father-daughter moment gets ruined as some elven guards come in.

"My King." They bow. "Orcs entered our kingdom and took out our guards, we killed as many as we can, but they got away from us and went after the dwarves."

Feeling my heart sink I look at father and give a small nod and quickly leave the throne room not wanting to hear anymore. Walking through the kingdom I go to my room and remove my circlet placing it on my vanity. Looking in the mirror I stare into my brown eyes as I push my blonde hair back hoping they're all safe. Standing up quickly when I hear Legolas's voice outside my door I leave my room and bump straight into a chest. "Slow down baby sis, where are you rushing off to?" Legolas chuckles holding my arms so I don't lose my balance.

"To find you." I answer as I regain my balance.

"Why?" He asks raising an eyebrow.

"I need to know if the dwarves are safe." I explain.

He nods slowly looking down at me. "I'm not gonna say no, but I'm also not gonna say yes."

"Well you're no help." I huff pulling away from Legolas's grip.

"Brynn, I don't want to say something that possibly isn't true." He explains. 

"I know, I know......I just want to know if they're safe or not." I whisper looking down at my feet.

"I know you do Brynn, I know you do." He says rubbing my shoulders. "Now if you excuse me I have to bring our prisoner to father." He says leaving before I can even ask about it. Raising an eyebrow I stare down the hall where Legolas once was and is no longer. Prisoner? Now I need to be there for this...maybe it'll give me some relief about what happened Thorin and his company. Turning around on my heel I quickly walk down the hall towards the throne room where I just was. I seem to never leave the throne room. Finally entering the throne room I see father, Tauriel, and Legolas who is holding a captured Orc in cuffs with a knife to its neck.

"Such is the nature of evil. Out there in the vast ignorance of the world it festers and spreads, a shadow that grows in the dark. A sleepless malice as black as the oncoming wall of night. So it ever was; so will it always be. In time, all foul things come forth." Father talks while turning around and sees me coming up the steps of the throne. "Why are you here Brynn?" He asks furrowing his brows.

"Same reason you're here, answers." I answer sitting on the steps leading up to father's throne. He nods slowly, but also sighs.
