Olivia's POV:

As I laid in bed, tears still streaming down my face,as I had trouble sleeping that night, I could hear harp music coming from outside my room. The music sounded very sad, and then I heard Thorin's voice singing with it.  And how he sang it, he sounded sad, and depressed, as if he lost someone. And I realized he was singing about me.  I felt a sharp tug inside my chest has I listened. I climbed out of bed, now dressed in my night clothes, I walked outside of my room, and there I saw Thorin sitting cross legged on the floor in front of the fire pit, playing the harp and singing.   I stood and watched him. I never seen him looked this sad before. I walked over, and sat down beside him. I could see the tears in his eyes, as he sang. Suddenly, he abrupted stopped when he saw me sitting beside him. "Please don't stop on my account. The song is really beautiful!" I said quicklly. "Olivia!" gasped Thorin, and he put the harp aside. "Thorin, I cannot go much longer being angry with you. I wouldn't blame you for being angry. I was even angry at Elsie for not controlling her cravings. I should apologize to you." I said. "No, Olivia-I was wrong for being angry with you and Elsie. For now on, I promise I will help you, as well as Fili and Kili, and the others as well to help curve Elsie's cravings." said Thorin gently, placing his large hand on my cheek.

And suddenly, Thorin wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close to his chest. My hunger for love grew, as I planted my lips onto his, kissing him passionately.   Thorin moaned a little, which startled me, and I quickly drew back. "Olivia? Why did you stop?" asked Thorin. "I'm sorry, Thorin. Its just you know, if I get to carried away with the kissing something might happen."  I said.  "Olivia, if you are having cravings too, I can go get you some animal blood." said Thorin. "I can't. Beorn won't allow it." I said. "Well Beorn can kiss my ass. I'm going to get some if he like its or not." said Thorin. I couldn't believe Thorin had just said that, and I couldn't help but laugh. I think I'm rubbing off on him, that sounds like something I normally would say. "Come now, lay on me and rest. You need your sleep since we will be leaving tomorrow." said Thorin gently. I nodded as I could feel sleep taking over me, and I laid my head on Thorin's chest, and drifted off. Thorin pulled his coat over the two of us, as he too fell asleep as we laid on the floor together in front of the fire pit. 

The next morning, Thorin and I woke up hearing laughter, we sat up and saw the entire company,  Elsie, Bilbo, Beorn and Gandalf looking down at us.  FIli and Kili and several other dwarves laughed. "I hope we wasn't interrupting anything!" smirked Beorn, chuckling. The both of us rolled our eyes and stood up. "Not a word any of you!" snarled Thorin. "What?! We didn't say anything!" protested Kili. "Well, you was about too!" I said. "I take it you two made up!" smiled Elsie. "Yes, we made up." I said and I nudged Thorin. "Thorin, you have somethng to say to my sister?" I asked Thorin. I was going to make Thorin apologize to Elsie about last night. "Elsie, I'm sorry for going off on you like I did, it won't happen again. Its just, I was only trying to..." began Thorin. "Protect Fili and Kili, I now. Really this is my fault. And You are right. I a monster." said Elsie sadly. "Elsie, you are not a monster! Thorin told me last night, all of us are going to help you. In fact, I'm going to help you too!" I said. "I should've never used those words towards you, Elsie. I hope you forgive me." said Thorin. Elsie smiled. "I forgive you, my future brother in law!" smiled Elsie. I couldn't believe Elsie just said that.

And it was rather kind of though to say it, but Thorin and I had not planned on getting married just yet. Afterwards, they ate breakfast with Beorn, and they discussed their next leg of their journey. Thorin didn't like the idea of entering Mirkwood Forest, but they had no other choice. Even Elsie and I didn't like the idea of entering the forest. 

No One's POV:

After eating breakfast, everyone packed their belongings and departed from Beorn's home. Everyone also felt disappointed that before they left, Gandalf informed the Company he would be departing them once they arrived to the entrance of Mirkwood. "Some wizard he is. Comes and gos, and leaves us to the most dangerous aspects of the journey!" mumbled Elsie out loud. All the dwarves and Bilbo agreed with Elsie's remark.  By early evening, they arrived outside the entrance of the Forest, and Thorin decided to make camp for the night, and they will enter the forest by morning.   Later after supper, the dwarves sang songs afterwards, as they normally do after supper. Olivia and Elsie enjoyed listening to the dwarves sing.  Elsie sat by Fili, resting her head on his chest, as she could hear is sweet light baritone voice in her ear. Olivia had curled up on her bedroll next to Thorin's, gazing at Thorin as he sang with the others.  Olivia drifted off into sleep by the time the dwarves finished singing.  An hour or so went by, everyone went to sleep.  It was very quiet.  As Olivia slept, she began to have nightmares. The first scene opened, and she could see a tall blonde elf wearing a branch crown with autumn leaves on it. He was dressed in a silver robe, and his glassy blue eyes gazed at the company and her. It was Thranduil.
