"So how did you come to be an assassin?" Kili asks in the afternoon of our second day in Rivendall.

"That's no your business now is it?" I counter.

"Well with me being your platonic and all I thought it was," Kili retorts.

"That is a point but no. It's no smothering you need to know platonic or not," I reply standing up.

"Guys hey let me introduce you to my friend Lacy," Sam walks up with a brown haired elleth.

"Hi," Lacy waves shyly.

"Uh okay hi Lacy I'm Alex," I say.

"Kili," Kili nods.

"You guys aren't just platonics," Lacy blurts out.

"What?" Kili and I exclaim standing up abruptly.

"Sorry but I noticed when you came here. I see bonds and your not just platonics. Your soulmates too. I thought you should know and this is the only time I've ever interfered in a relationship. I just thought you needed to know!" Lacy explains quickly.

"Oh wow this just got weird," Sam mumbles.

"Has this ever happened before?" I ask trying to keep a level head.

"Yes just it's very rare. I'm sorry you just needed to know," Lacy apologizes again.

"It's fine thank you," Kili waves off.

"Your welcome now I must be going. Oh and Alex Lord Elrond wishes to see you and your partner Grace," Lacy adds and moves to run off.

"Wait does anyone else in the company have a soulmate bond?" Kili asks.

"Not my place to tell," Lacy smiles and runs off.

"She's a little flighty. But I guess that's why she asked to be introduced to you," Sam shrugs.

"So Grace Bloodlust and Alex Blackheart I assume your latest target has been annihilated quietly," Elrond concludes as Grace and I enter his study.

"Yes of course Lord Elrond so we are moving forward to our next one," I report.

"You know I don't agree with your vigilante ways but I do sincerely think you are doing some good in this world. But I must know how you choose your next targets," Elrond asks.

"Well usually it's orc leaders, goblin leaders, murderous men, assassins after major good leaders, and that one hobbit that tried to have my platonic Allie drowned," Grace replies.

"Who's next?"

"The Goblin King if we can do it without disturbing the company's path," I say matter of factly.

"Well I wish you luck after that I have request," Elrond says.

"Yes," Grace and I chime.

"Azog the defiler," Elrond states.

"He's still alive?" Grace gasps.

"Yes and he's hunting your leader. The orc pack that chased you in was sent by him."

"Then he's as good as dead. We may not deliver the final blow but we will see to it he's finished," I say knowing Thorin would want to kill him.

"Thank you girls I believe it's safe to say you are the best assassins in Middle Earth," Elrond compliments.

"Thank you Lord Elrond unfortunately we have a never ending target list of horrible people," Grace mutters, we both bow, and walk out.

"Hey do you hear that?" Grace asks. I do it's the sound if shouting and laughing.

"Yeah and let's follow it. It sounds like the dwarves," I nod. We follow the noise to a fountain where the dwarves are quite enjoying themselves naked in the fountain.

"Oh my my what do we have here?" Grace asks stepping forward a smirk on her face.

"Hey Grace hi Alex join us!" Kili shouts.

"No thanks but hey where's Bilbo, Sam, Emily, and most importantly Allie especially when's she's in a fragile emotional state!" Grace snaps.

"They are in the ladies bath," Fili replies.

"Even Bilbo?" I ask bewildered.

"Yeah even him," Kili laughs.

"Didn't wanna join the men?" Grace raises and eyebrow.

"Nah something about the decency of hobbits," Fili responds.

"Well we shall join them," I say then Grace and I stroll away.

"Ahh come one Alex Grace have fun with us!" Kili yells after us.

"You wish!" I yell back.
