Amanda roamed the halls of Erebor humming away softly to herself. Today was like anyother day, Kili was away in the mines working while Fili was doing Kingly stuff. While Kilian was training with Dwalin and Bofur and Dalila was learning in the Library with Balin. Amanda has been alone like this for a while now as everyone has things they must do.

Amanda stood at a ledge and looked out and down. The halls below filled with gold and gems in mountains. Amanda could still never get over the magnitude of it all. She felt alone as she looked down and stepped back. Her royal blue dress trailed along the ground as she continued to walk the long halls.

" Lady Amanda! My Lady!" A dwarf came running through the halls quickly. Amanda looked at the worried dwarf man before her.

" What is wrong?" Amanda asked him.

" King Fili wishes your council in the kings room immediatly." The dwarf spoke as he lead her through the halls and they burst into the room. Fili looked to her and smiled, Kili was sitting down with his head in his hands. A elf stood with his back to her. He turned around and looked at Amanda.

" King Thranduil." Amanda said bowing slight to him.

" Ah it is nice to see you well child." Amanda looked at him and sighed. She had honestly giving up on telling him to stop.

" You know how much I hate being call a Child." She told him as she walked over to Kili. She placed a hand on his shoulder and he reached up to place his hand on hers.

" Why is everyone so quiet and sad?" Amanda asked looking around.

" I am afraid I come baring bad news." Thranduil said saddly to her.

" I am afraid Thorin, Fiona and their child Annika have not been seen or heard from in the past four days." Thranduil broke to her. Amanda's hand dropped from Kili shoulder as her heart fell.

" What?" Amanda whispered.

" I sent out some guards and they found the place ransacked." He finished. But just as he did Amanda picked up her dress and ran out the door.

"Amanda!" Kili yelled as he stood from his chair.

" Amanda!" Fili yelled as well as they ran after her. Amanda being faster then them got to her room and opened her wardrobe. She then saw her outfit that she wore during the quest. It was still as good as they day she last wore it. With out thinking she pulled it all on and wrapped the leather belt around her waist. She pulled on her weapons as the door burst open.

" What are you doing?!" Kili asked looking at her.

" I am going to their house." Amanda told him as she pulled her bow over her head.

" No you are not!" Kili said to her pointing to the floor. Amanda walked past him quickly and rushed through the halls. Fili had caught up to them as he too joined in trying to stop her from leaving.

" Then if you go I go too." Kili said to her. Amanda looked to him shaking her head.

" No, you have to stay here. Look after the children and this mountain." She told him as she finished saddling her horse.

" Amanda I will not let you go alone." Kili hissed to her. Before Amanda could answer someone else did for her.

" And she won't be." Thranduil said as he rounded the corner.

" I will acompany her personally." Thranduil said standing tall. Amanda smiled and nodded gently as she lead her pony out. But then she was stopped before she could exit the stabbles.

" Not that pony. It will be too slow. You will ride with me." Thranduil said as he handed the reins to a stable hand. They then quickly walk out of the main doors and down to the elk that Thranduil would choose over a horse.

" you keep her safe." Fili said to Thranduil quickly.

" On my life." He said before picked Amanda up and put her onto the elk. He jumped on behind her and held tightly onto the reins.

" Amanda, please be careful. And come home." Kili said pleadingly. Amanda nodded and smiled to him.

" I will have her back by the fourth days passing." He said before Thranduil and Amanda flew off on the elk quickly. Kili watched as they left in the distance.

" Daddy! Where is Mummy going?" Dalila asked as she ran up to her father and jumped into his arms.

" Yes father, where is mother going in her battle clothes? And with King Thranduil." Kilian asked as he stopped inbetween his father and his Uncle.

" She will be fine. She just has some businuss I asked her to attend to with the Elven King. Nothing to worry about." Fili explained to him in a way as not to worry the young heir.

" Why is she in her battle clothes?" Kilian asked his Uncle and father.

" Just something she thought to be approreate." The young King simply said as he turned around and walked back into Erebor. His heart heavy with worry from both his Uncle and Fiona. As well as their child.

" Daddy? When will mummy be back?" Dalila asked her father. Kili smiled to her and looked to his son.

" Soon. Now come on, why don't we go and see Uncle Bofur?" Kili said walking back into the mountain.
