" Amanda! Come please answer me!" Fiona shouted to her cell. They have been in the dungeons for no more than half a day now and Amanda has made no movement or spoke since she was dragged back.

" She will be fine, Fiona. You need to calm down." Thorin mumbled to her as he pulled her into his chest gently. Fiona buried her face into his chest trying to calm herself down.

" It's been half a day and Amanda has not even moved!" Fiona called out almost in a cry. She let a single tear if frustration.

" Would you stop, you whining is hurting my head!" Amanda moaned as she wearily picked herself off the ground. She sat up and every dwarf ran to their cell doors.

" Amanda!" Bofur called out in relief.

" Oh thank Durin." Balin said with a smile.

" Aye, you gave us quite the scare lass." Dawlin told her as she rubbed her aching head.

" Sorry." She muttered.

" What happened?" Fiona asked as she eyes Amanda's frame sit up. Thorin and her cell was left to Kili and across form Amanda.

" The king called me weak and childish." Amanda began placing a gentle touch to her bruised neck. She hissed in pain as she lightly brushed it.

" He did not like my answer." Amanda told them.

" My head was still spinning from falling the tree and hitting my head, so I was not able to act quick enough to stop him smashing me into a pillar." She continued on with all the dwarves and Fiona's ear listening. But what they did not know was that Legolas stood out of view listening to her voice as well.

" Causing more pain, so not only while my head while spinning. He gripped my throat, cutting of my airways. He gradually squeezed tighter and tighter. I though my neck was going to snap had it not been for his son, Legolas. He walked in and ripped his father off me just in time." Amanda smiled as she mentioned how Legolas had saved her from death at the hands of his father. Kili saw her smile and a feeling that he has never felt before erupted within him. He felt rage and anger toward Legolas in a way he has never felt before.

" You are live and well now. That is all that really matters to us." Balin said with his charming fatherly smile. Being the oldest of the dwarves he has been a father figure to most of them, always seeing the bright side of things.

" Why did you not tell us you could speak elvish? " Thorin asked.

" You kept it from Fiona as well." Thorin asked as Fiona heard the slight hurt in his voice.

" I know a lot of languages. Elvish, the tongue of men and the black tongue." Amanda spoke to him. Fiona walked over and looked at her.

" I even speak dwarfish." She muttered in Thorin's native tongue. Everyone stood in shook as Amanda shrugged it off as if it was nothing.

" How do you know all that?" Fiona asked her surprised.

" Well back home I studied it for a while, then when we arrived here. It was all just second nature." She murmured sliding her weak frame to the iron gate she looked to Fiona who too was at the gate of her cell, with a stunned Thorin behind her.

" You try it." Amanda asked her.

" I can't speak dw..." She began but was cut of by Amanda.

" Try it. Just close your eyes and think about it, real hard." Amanda told her and Fiona done as she was instructed.

" think about it really hard, now how are you feeling?" Amanda asked her.

" I feel the same." She muttered in dwarvish. Amanda smiled as Fiona clamped her hand over her mouth in surprise.

" By my beard she speaks dwarvish!" Dawlin cried out in glee. Thorin smiled down at her and wrapped her strong arms around her waist.

" Well done, my angel. I love you." Thorin spoke to her in her new found language. Fiona smiled and kissed him return.

" and what about the other languages? What about elvish?" She asked Amanda shrugged her shoulders.

" I was already pretty fluent in elvish when we arrived so I don't know." Amanda said with a smile. Amanda's small smiled faded when she feeling an unknown body heat next to her cell.

" Fiona?" She asked her. Fiona nodded.

" Yeah I smell it." She claimed looked next to Amanda's cell.

" Why do you linger in the shadows?" Amanda asked in elvish as Legolas walked out and looked down to her. She was still too weak to even stand so she sat with she side to the gate.

" Too make sure that you and your friends do not try to escape. Not that you could anyway." He answered back to her. Amanda scowled to him and huffed.

" Do not underestimate us, my Lord Legolas. But I know that is not the real reason." Amanda told him lowly.

" You seem very perceptive, lady Amanda. Unlike some of you companions." He growled the last part in English.

" speak in a tongue everyone knows!" Kili said getting angry the he cannot make out what they are saying. Legolas turned to him and receives a very strong glare of jealousy.

" That one seems to have a thing for you." Legolas said as he turned to look back at her. His blue eyes where hit by waves of brown that had flakes of gold within them. Her smooth tanned face held such beauty within his eyes as her rude red lip called out to him.

" And is that a problem?" Amanda asked him in the tongue of men. Legolas scowled at her with disgust as even the thought of such a beautiful with a dwarf. Legolas opened his mouth to reply but was cut off when an elven guard appeared saying that his father had sent for him. Legolas looked on last time and the small beauty before him before stalking off. Amanda looked to Kili as his eyes never left him, glaring holes into his back.

" What was he saying?" Kili asked her as soon as the blond elf was away. Kili's eyes shot to Amanda's as she saw the jealousy rage within them.

" None of your concern." She growled to him before turning her back and closing her eyes to rest. She though back to just a moment ago with the blond haired elf. He was truly handsome with his strong jaw line and the bluest eyes she had ever seen. His blond hair was style perfectly to highlight his string features and high cheek bones. She could not help but remember how gracefully his moves are, never taking unnecessary actions or movements. His posture was alway straight and powerful, which she guess was from his father as he stood just like him. Yet there was a different between them both, sure they look almost exactly alike. But Legolas's eyes were a bright blue that held more love than Thranduil's ever could.

" I'll wager the sun is on the rise." Bofur called out as everyone moaned.

" must be nearly dawn." He finished.

" We are never gonna reach the mountain, are we?" Ori asked sadly. Fiona looked to Thorin with a sad look on her face as she walked over to him and embrace the tall dwarf in a tight hug.

" I am sorry Thorin." She whispered as Thorin returned the embrace.

" No, we still have hope." He whispered to her, everything fell silent for a moment.

" Not stuck in here your not." Bilbo said appearing from now where. He showed to key as she quietly pushed something into his pocket. Everyone started calling his name loudly with glee.

" Shh! The guards are near by!" Bilbo yelled in a whispered as he unlocked Thorin and Fiona's cell first. Thorin pushed Fiona out first and she stretched as Bilbo opened everyone else's. He then went over to Amanda's, he looked down at her and nodded as he opened the gate. Dwalin and Fiona rushed over to her and began fussing.

" Remember the last time someone fussed over me." Amanda said to them as she raised an eyes brow. They looked to Kili and a flash of fear drifted through his eyes as he straighten his back and walked away, scowling. Dwalin smirked and lifted the girl to her feet.

" You good?" He asked her and Amanda nodded. She took a step forward but her knees buckled.
