Leo and Bilbo's legs ached and their lungs burned as they had not once stopped running to Ravenhill. Leo prayed with every step that the dwarves were ok.

--------------------

Fili and Kili scouted the ruins of Ravenhill as Thorin had ordered. The boys snuck through a collapsed structure in search of Azog who had hidden from the dwarves. A roar in the distance caught their attention as Kili began to follow the sound. Fili held his arm out to hold his brother back.

"Stay here, search the lower levels. I've got this." Kili reluctantly nodded before moving down the halls. Fili sighed and turned back to his brother. "Kili, wait."

Kili strode back to his brother. "Do you have another plan?"

"No...I just...before we split up there's something I want to tell you, just in case."

"Fili we're not - "

"Shh, just...for my ease of mind I just want to tell you now." Kili lifted a brow at his brother. A small smile came across Fili. "She said yes."

Kili, for a moment, let the situation dissolve as a large grin spread across his face and his dimples showed his thrill. "Really?"

Fili nodded with a grin.

He bounced a bit in complete joy. "I get a sister..."

"Yes, you do Kee."

"Congratulations brother...I quite like her." Kili couldn't wipe the grin from his face. "Now...let's get this beast taken care of so we can have a wedding! A grand one! The biggest one ever! You deserve it...Leo deserves it...hell we all deserve it."

Fili nodded. "That we do, Kee, that we do. Now, go."

"One last thing...if I don't make it out of this...name one of your sons after me, hm?"

Fili nodded. "Of course, Kili."

Kili gave his brother one last smile before letting it fade and venturing down the halls. Fili watched his brother leave before taking a deep breath and heading towards the beast.

--------------------

Bilbo and Leo heard Thorin's booming voice amid the ruins and they maneuvered their way through the maze to find him. Eventually, they managed to locate him and Dwalin on a ruined stone platform.

"Thorin!" Bilbo managed to wheeze out after slipping the ring off, making him and Leo visible.

Thorin whipped around as his eyes widened. "Bilbo...Leo."

"You have to leave here. Now! Azog has another army, attacking from the north. This watchtower will be completely surrounded, there'll be no way out."

Dwalin shook his head. "We are so close. That Orc scum is in there. I say we push on."

"No!" Leo shouted and approached Thorin. "That's what he wants. He wants to draw you in!"
