(a few days before the events in the last chapter) (in mirkwood)
•Thranduil's POV•
"My Lord... Lilia, she's missing."
said Avana, Lilia's personal servant.
"What?!" I asked
"I have looked everywhere for her, but I couldn't find her." She explained.
I quickly stood up from my throne.
"Gaurds! Go and search for my daughter! Search every inch of the woods if you have to! Just bring her back safely!" I ordered. I didn't want anything to happen to her. I had already lost Talia, I couldn't loose Lilia too. I teared up just think of my sweet Talia... I miss holding her in my arms and kissing her soft lips..
but suddenly I remembered how Legolas had left to look for Tauriel, who had run off.
"Wait! Is Legolas still out looking for Tauriel?" I asked.
"Yes my Lord" a gaurd answered.
"Some of you go and find him. Tell him to return" I said.
"Yes my Lord" the gaurd said before bowing and leaving.

(A week later)
•Thranduil's POV•
"My Lord, We found Legolas and Tauriel near Erebor, but neither of them would come back with us" said a gaurd, "Apparently the dragon, Smaug, was woken by a company of dwarves, a Hobbit, and an elf."
"This elf, who is it?" I asked.
"I-it is Lilia." He answered.
I stood up from my throne and glided down the stairs.
"Gather an army, we must go and get her." I ordered.
"Yes, my Lord" he said while running off to give the order.

•Lilia's POV•
"Bilbo, what are we going to do? If we stay here all that gold is going to take over Thorin's mind and drive him mad. I just hope he does not find the Arkenstone, because Balin says it will make him even worse!" I said
"He won't find it" said Bilbo.
"How do you know? I asked.
Bilbo pulled something out of his pocket. It was the Arkenstone. "Bilbo!" I yelled.
"Shh!" said Bilbo.
"You had the Arkenstone all along" I wispered, "If Thorin finds out he'll kill you."
"I know, so promise you won't tell anyone I have it" he said.
"I promise" I replied.
I looked out over dale and saw an army of elves.
"My father is out there. He will be coming soon, I'm sure" I said.
"There is probably going to be a war" said Bilbo.
"Probably so" I replied.
"I wish there was a way to stop it.. I would hate to see anyone hurt" said Bilbo.
"But what could we possibly do" I asked.
Bilbo sat there in thought. Then he pulled the arkenstone out of his pocket. He looked up at me and smiled. I just looked at him curiously.

Later Bard came and tried to reason with Thorin so there would be no war, but ofcourse Thorin would not part with a single bit of gold.

(The next day)
•Lilia's POV•
"Wake up! " said Fili.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Your father is coming with his army" he said.
I sighed.
"great" I said sarcastically.
"Come on" said Fili.
"No. I would rather just stay here. I am not ready to be yelled at by my adar for leaving" I said.
"But we would be safer with you. None of the elves would dare shoot at us when you are with us" said Fili. I yawned then looked up at him.
"Come one" he said.
"Oh fine" I said.
He smiled. Then He grabbed my hand, and dragged me out of bed.
