Annabella~The elf-human warrior (Kili)

Chapter 1~Getting to know Annabella

~~so in this chapter you're introduced to Annabella and the first chapter is included too~~
I'm Annabella, I sound pretty normal but I'm sort of not! I'm half elf, half human. I can't really say I live anywhere either, for the last 4 years u have been travelling with my brother legolas, well I say brother, not by blood, but I have little family left and I have grown up with legolas by my side.

I'm an archer, and I hate to toot my own horn but I'm quite a good one! That is all thanks to legolas, he taught me how to use my bow and now I can go anywhere without it. Yes I'm an archer but I can use almost any weapon, I also use swords, daggers, and because I'm half elf I have a few powers too as my mother is a powerful elvin healer.

As for what I look like, I am an average height for an elvish eighteen year old which is about the same for human height. I have long blonde wavey hair that travels down to my waist and blue eyes, my ears aren't pointed or anything so I look pretty human actually, but all of my senses are to a normal elvish standard so maybe a bit better than a humans

I have fought alongside many, including gandalf the grey, a good friend to me who I often bump into, I have previously fought with the dwarfs of erebor too, thorin oakenshield is a distant cousin of mine and he used to hate elves! Not that I blame him, for when his city was under attack of the great dragon smaug legolas' father (thranduil the elven king) did not help them when they needed aid, but since then the dragon has been defeated and azog the pale Orc who killed thorins grandfather and tried to kill thorin himself has also been killed by thorin. (This luckily all took place before I was born, thankfully! Imagine how thorin could have thought of me back when he hated elves!)

I have been thinking about thorin a lot recently for I have not seen him in quite a while and he is a close friend to me

As elves life for such a long time you'd probably expect me to be 100 or something! I look 18, and I am, yep, I'm eighteen years old and legolas has told me before how old he Is but I must say I've quite forgotten! However as I'm half elf I will most likely live for a long time, unless I'm killed by orcs or goblins or who knows what! And that has been close to happening many times!

Legolas and I have been travelling now for 4 years as I said, and we often return to rivendell to visit my mother and legolas also visits many who he has fought alongside before (which is quite a few), we have been hunting a pack of orcs for a few days now, we first saw this group when we were lighting a fire a few days ago before we were going to sleep, they were running towards us and we prepared to fight them off when suddenly there was the sound of a horn and they fled!

I can't say I know what kind of horn that was but I knew it was not elvish nor dwarfish nor was it an Orc horn, we have been following the pack's tracks and they have been past rivendell so legolas and I decided to stop for a few days for some rest and I could see my mother

Legolas and I reached rivendell and walked through it's great gates, we left our horses free to roam as they knew where they were. We walked into the beautiful lands where we were quickly seen by lord elrond who instantly recognised us and came to greet us "legolas, and Annabella! It's wonderful to see you mi thrandires" (sorry don't know how to spell it but it means my friends in elvish for anyone who doesn't know)

"Lord elrond, it had been to long" legolas greeted him "elrond it's lovely to see you" I greeted him with as u hugged him. He started leading us inside to as table of food as he knew we were hungry, he also said something to another elf in elvish, I'm not fluent in elvish so I looked to legolas for translation "he asked him to prepare us rooms and send word to your mother that you are here" legolas told me which put a smile on my face

We began to enjoy our food as elrond sat with us, "so my friends, where have you been travelling recently? You have not come here for a few months and no one had heard from you, we grew slightly worried" elrond said, legolas responded with "there is no need to worry, we have been hunted a small pack of orcs for a few days and we've recently had a few run-ins with gandalf". "Ah I see, any word from thorin recently?" Elrond asked me, to which I responded "no actually, I have had to attend a few meetings where I have seen dain but, not thorin, I have not seen him for 8 years and legolas last saw him at the great battle when azog was defeated so before I was even born, I'm sure he and his company are well though" just as elrond was about to respond my mother walked in and opened her arms to me and embraced me in a long hug "mother it's so wonderful to see you!" I said with excitement "and you to, my young one" she said

My mother is a beautiful woman, with incredible long brown hair and stunning green-blue eyes

"Legolas" she said as she open her arms to him as well, she treated him like a son as she knew he was very close to me like a brother and he treated her with high levels of respect, they have a wonderful bond

After dinner legolas and I both went to our separate rooms that elrond had organised for us, I walked in to the beautiful large tiled room, with gorgeous elvish engravings on the walls and put down some of my things.

I placed my bow and arrows down on a chair along with my sword that was given to me by my father when I was 12, and my daggers of different shapes and sizes. I took off my cloak and clothes and went in the bath that had already been run for me, when I was cleaned up I changed Into the night gown that was left for me and brushed out my hair before putting it into one long braid, I sat on my bed and began to think about things, like I do a lot, I thought about my father

Sadly my father died 5 years ago, I know what you might be assuming, no he wasn't killed by an Orc, he was killed by a warg, the white warg that azog the defiler once sat astride, one azog was dead we all just presumed that the white warg had gone away somewhere or died, we thought nothing of him until one day when my father was out hunting with me and my mother, he bought legolas with us because he was always practically part of out family, we we chasing a wild deer and my father had shot it with an arrow, he got off his horse and walked towards the dead deer when he was suddenly pounced on, I did not know that it was azogs white warg but legolas immediately recognised the could creature, it began to attack my father and legolas and I both ran to help him but it was no use, the warg was cunning, he knew what we would do so he grabbed my mother from her horse and pushed her down to the ground near where my father was, he has his jaws at her neck so we knew that if we moved a muscle he would kill them both, he opened his mouth wide and legolas and I thigh he was going to kill my mother, but he suddenly jumped over ontop of my father and killed him instantly and tore him to pieces, legolas and I were overcome with grief and anger we ran at the warg not caring if we were to die or not, we were too upset, legolas jumped onto the wargs back as he began to eat my father, it was an awful sight and I was only 13, legolas began to stab the warg wrecklessly as it put up a fight trying to get him off, legolas then looked at me as a signal, I swiftly notched an arrow, tears streaming down my face, I shot the warg in it's right shoulder, I was cruel but I wanted to see this foul
Thing suffer the way my father did, I gave it a slow death, I had demobilised the creature and legolas and I both stabbed it and eventually killed it. It took all of us a year to get back to what we called "normal", and that is why legolas and I started to travel, we could not bare to live in rivendell, it was too close to where my father died, so we left.

A tear streamed down my face as I thought about it. I heard a slight knock on my door, "please come in" I said, it was my mother, she came and sat on my bed with me "my beautiful you have been crying, what is wrong?" She asked after seeing me wipe away the few tears that escaped my eyes "do not worry mother, I was just thinking about father, the day he died", she looked at me sympathetically and hugged me "my love you should not feel guilty for what you did to the warg, you and legolas were overcome with grief I would have done the same" she told me, which have me a thought "why didn't you" I asked, she said quietly back "I was so close to him when he died, I could not bare to touch the warg after it killed your father right next to me, I'm sorry I didn't help you and legolas" , after she explained I understood and nodded.

"Anyway, I came in here to give you this, it has your name on it and came about a week ago as the person writing obviously did not know where you would be and presumed you may come back here" my mother said as he handed me the envelope, I thanked her but she cut me off by saying "I think that handwriting is thorin's" a smile grew on my face, but I wander what he was writing to me about. "I shall leave you to read it my love, if you want to come and see me my room is one at the end of the corridor" I nodded and thanked her before she left shutting the door.

I apprehensively opened the letter and began to read it, by bow I was sure it was from thorin as the stamp sealing the envelope said something in what I was sure to be dwarfish and had a drawing of the mountain, I read the letter:
