An Arranged Marriage (The Hobbit)

Chapter 7

I woke up remembering everything from last night.

I love talking to Kili. I know that if this keeps going, I will have to ignore my marriage to Legolas and be with Kili. Besides me and Legolas never were going to work out. He was a prince and in love with Tauriel, whom he had known since he was little.

I thought I loved Legolas, but maybe I really just fell in love with him because I was forced into marrying him. I wasnt sure. These feelings were all so confusing, but I couldnt be with Legolas. He doesn't love me.

I got up and looked around, the sun was beginning to shine. I filled the bath with warm water and put white candles around the bathroom.

I needed to relax. I am so tired from everything that had happened yesterday.

After sitting in the bath for awhile I got out and changed into a black thin long sleeved shirt, and put a black corset on over it. I slipped on some black boots and put on my cloak over it. I grabbed my bow and arrow and went outside to relax.

*Kili's POV*

I had awoken and remembered everything. It felt like all of it happened centuries ago.

I heard the others begin to murmur. They must have been awake too.

"I'll wager the sun is on the rise. Must be nearly dawn." Bofur said.

"We're never gonna reach the mountain, are we?" Ori asked.

The rest of us moaned and groaned. We all felt sorry for ourselves, but mostly disappointed that we came all this way to be put in the elves dungeon. If only they had the same hospitality Lord Elrond had.

I wouldn't mind being back in Rivendell. It is a beautiful place.

"Lads we might as well rest and wait until Lady Amara tries talking to the King again." Balin said.

Her name made my heart flutter a little bit. I truly missed her.

"What makes you think she's going to talk to the King?" Dwalin asked.

"She doesn't seem like them. She's different. She's been asking and pleading for them to let us go since they showed up in the forest. She really is trying to help us. If I was to be friends with an elf, it would be her." Balin said.

Dwalin kept his mouth shut after that.

"She was pleading with the King while he was talking to me." Thorin finally spoke up.

"And?" Balin asked.

"He is very stubborn, but so is she. I admire her courageousness to go against Thranduil, but I dont think he will give in. He knows of our quest, but I dont think he wants us to go anywhere near the mountain unless he is getting something from it." Thorin said.

"Well there isn't much we can do then wait." Balin said.

I sick feeling grew in my stomach when he said those words.

*Amara's POV*

I was walking down the hall when I felt a presence on me, but when I turned around there was nothing there.

I walked faster and faster. I had suddenly realized I was back in front of my room. I looked around and pushed the door open, quickly entering and slamming the door. I dont know why I did that.

I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. Why am I acting like this?

I looked around my room feeling the same presence again. I quickly took an arrow and held my bow steady. If anyone saw me right now they would think I was mad.
