Third Pov

Gandalf yelled as he led them further from the Orcs.

"This way!"

The company followed Gandalf . They came to a cliff. There are a bunch of trees.

"Up into the trees"

The girls stopped and realised that they had to climb. Renee looked behind her and looked for Bilbo.

'Uncle Dwalin!!! Help Lilith and Kate up the trees. I'm going to help Papa." You took your daggers out and helped Bilbo with the warg.

"All of you! Come on, climb! Bilbo, climb! Quickly!"

She helped Bilbo get his sword out of the Wargs head. She hurried to a tree and grabbed Kili's hand as he helped her up. His hand went around her waist and he helped you up to where Kate was. Bilbo got up just in time as the wargs came running towards the trees and jumping to snag one of them.

"They're coming!"

"Hang on!"

"Hold on, brothers!"

Lilith was holding on when she felt a dark presence. She looked up and her eyes widened. It was him, the bastard, that was determined to end the Durin Line. She heard her father say.

"Azog. It cannot be."

She puts a hand on his arm. He turned to her and she looked at him with a concerned look. The dwarves were shouting as the wargs kept jumping and knocking down the trees.This caused most of them to jump onto the other trees.

"It's going!"

Soon everyone was on the last tree which was struggling. Renee held onto the branches and Kili kept a grip on her to make sure she didn't fall. Fili did the same for Kate. Lilith was holding onto Dwalin and the branch.

"Grandpa!!! What do we do?"

She kept holding on and looked up to see him lighting a pinecone.

"Fili!"

"Yeah!"

Gandalf dropped a pinecone that was burning. Fili caught it. Soon Renee got an idea.She created flames in her hands, her eyes glowing orange. Everyone started throwing flaming pinecones at the wargs and orcs. She threw fireballs at them. A wall of fire surrounded them and kept the wargs and orcs back. Everyone started cheering. But all good things come to an end.

Soon the tree uprooted and started to fall, causing everyone to hang off the branches. Ori fell and grabbed onto Dori's leg. Renee's eyes widened.

"Ori!!"

Soon Dori's grip loosened and his hands slipped. Renee looked up at Gandalf.

"Grandpa!!!"

"No! Oh, no. Mr. Gandalf!"

"Oh, no, Dori!"

"Help!"

Gandalf held his staff put which Dori grabbed onto. She sighed in relief. She heard Balin and Dwalin yelling. She turned and saw Thorin standing in the tree with his sword.

"No!"

"Thorin! No!"

"Father, no don't do this!!!"

Lily cried out, hoping he'd hear her and stop. But it was no use.

Renee watched as the dwarves fought for their king. This awakened something in her. She felt her power grow. She stood up and glared at the orcs. Her hair started to glow a bright orange, looking like fire. She started to float. She put her arms out, gathering the flames around her. Everyone looked at her with shock. Gandalf smiled at her with such pride and love. Her sisters grinned with pride. Kili looked even more in love than he was before. She looked at Azog straight into his eyes.

"Burn in hell asshole!"

"Look"

She let go and screamed as she allowed her flames to burn the orcs and wargs. The eagles came. Dori's hand slipped, causing him and Ori to fall and land on the back of one of the eagles. The eagles picked up the dwarves and threw them on the backs of other eagles. Some picked up some of the wargs or orcs that hasn't burnt and threw them off the cliff. One of them picked up Thorin and his sword and flew off, holding the unconscious king in its claw. Renee started to feel weak and started to fall. Gandalf caught her and held her in his arms as he rode on the eagle's back. Lilith and Kate were with Bilbo.

"Thorin!"

Fili yelled as he looked at his uncle. The eagles flew as the sun shone in the sky. Soon they came to The Carrock, The eagles laid Thorin on the rock and flew off. Gandalf carried his granddaughter as he got off the Eagle.

"Thorin!"

He laid Renee down next to Thorin. He closed his eyes and muttered, putting his hands over his face. The dwarves had landed and gathered around them. Lilith and Kate knelt next to Gandalf.

"Thorin."

Thorin started to open his eyes. He saw Gandalf leaning over him. He caught his breath.

"The Halfling?"

"It's all right. Bilbo is here. He's quite safe."

Lilith bent down to hug her father, tears falling down her cheeks. Kate was rubbing her back. Renee groaned slightly and stirred, slowly opening her eyes. She looked around before looking at Gandalf

"Oh hey grandpa. Did we escape those bastards?"

She said, sitting up carefully leaning against him. Thorin gruffly groaned as he turned on his side and Dwalin and Kili helped him up. Gandalf helped Renee up, leaning against him for support. Thorin glared at Bilbo, slowly walking towards him.

"You! What were you doing? You nearly got yourself killed! Did I not say that you would be a burden? That you would not survive in the Wild? That you had no place amongst us?"

Everyone held their breaths, Bilbo looked down, hurt before Thorin surprised everyone, especially Bilbo.

"I have never been so wrong in all my life."

He hugged Bilbo, everyone started cheering. Bilbo felt so happy and seen. He finally felt like he was part of the company. Thorin pulled back, put his hands on his upper arms, looking at him softly.

"But I'm sorry I doubted you."

Bilbo immediately shook his head, waving him off.

"No, I would have doubted myself too. I'm not a hero or a warrior. Not even a burglar."

The girls scoff. Kate looked at her father, giving him a look.

"Papa, stop that. You did amazing. Stop being modest"

Renee and Lilith nod in agreement. They looked behind the two and gasp, Thorin followed their gazes, eyes widened. Bilbo turned around confused until he finally realised what's going on.

"Is that what I think it is?"

"Erebor...the Lonely Mountain...the last of the great Dwarf kingdoms of Middle-earth."

Everyone stood at the edge as they looked at the mountain. Kate squeezed Fili's hand, smiling at him before looking back at the mountain. Renee subconsciously grabbed Kili's hand, looking ahead. Kili looked down at their hands, surprised before looking at her, smiling softly before turning his attention back to the mountain

"Our home."

"A raven! The birds are returning to the mountain."

"That, my dear Oin, is a thrush."

The girls looked at the bird that flew past them and watched as it flew towards the mountain. Thorin looked at the mountain, beyond happy and proud. His arm was around his daughter as they looked upon their heritage, their home. She put her head on his shoulder as she smiled.

"But we'll take it as a sign. A good omen."

"You're right. I do believe the worst is behind us."

The girls knew deep down...that Bilbo couldn't be more wrong. There was still a dragon they had to face and that was no easy feat. Fili pulled Kate away from the group and held her hands.

"Amrâlimê, I have something I must say. I love you with everything I have and I want to spend the rest of my life with you,' He pulls out a bead from his pocket and holds it in between his fingers, "May I court you?"

She looked at him with wide eyes looking between the bead and him. She started smiling and nodded with a huge smile.

"Yes, a million times"

She wrapped her arms around his neck, crying happily. He held her tight and kissed her cheek, muttering about how much he loved her. They forgot that the group wasn't too far away until they heard someone clear their throat. They pulled back and saw everyone, even Thorin, grinning at them. That night they celebrated the beginning of the courtship, feeling a bit more optimistic after what happened.

It allowed them a small break from everything and allowed them to let loose and have fun. The company approved of Kate, and were happy to have her a part of their family. They already accepted the girls near the beginning of the journey but this just finalised everything.
