The Unknown Child {Hobbit Fanfic}

Bronad (Survival)

Important A/N: Hey guys, so I fractured my right thumb on the 20th and if you know me, I type 1-handed because of the dexterity of my left hand. So the reason why I haven't updated sooner? Well, 4 fingers and I'm improvising on things. - a lot.
It'll take awhile to type this chapter. (Hour or two...)
Feel free to leave comments, votes, emotes - etc.

(😐 I just made 9 typos writing that...)

I apologize for any typos you may see 😣 (though I'll edit along the way.)
Recap-
Amara POV - Erebor
I glanced behind me, worried. Thorin hadn't spoken to us once since Smaug left. Now he was returning to the Mountain.

Dread filled my whole being.

'What have I done? What have we done?' I thought.

Theia POV - With Bard, and Bain
Lake Town

The three of us surfaced the water, gasping for air. I desperately wished I could dry us off like my mom had. But, I lacked the power.
Climbing onto a dock we went in search of a boat.
"Over here!" Bard called. The town was in ruins. We the few left - Alive that is. It was abandoned. Nearly everyone had fled.
I rushed over, and inspected the small boat, the dingy. Minor damage but enough to get us to Erebor's shores.
"Nice find, Bard." I congratulated.
He nodded.
"Lets get on our way. We need to find shelter." He spoke.
"Erebor would welcome us. My mother and father are their along with the company." I said.
Bard was silent for awhile, "They may be our only choice."
"Da, Sigrid and Tilda were with the Dwarves and Legolas. They would have gone that way." Bain stated.
"He's right, my cousin's and the others are dead-set on reaching that Mountain."
"Erebor it is, then. Get in the boat."

We paddled throughout the night, and into the morning down the Anduin River. Finally reaching afternoon, land came into sight. - And cries.

I looked to the others, Bain and Bard. "Go on, I'll get the boat on land. You have family to find." I insisted.
"Thank you, Theia." Bain spoke.

We all got out, I pulled the boat to shore making sure it was secure.

The sight before my eyes was horrible.

People were in the water injured, some dead, several boats were wrecked. Some swam here it seemed.

"Help me!" A woman screamed.
"Where's my baby?" Yelled another.
"Please!" Begged a man.
