Chapter Seven

Leaving

A few days later as we were all gathered for breakfast. Thorin started telling everyone that this will be our last night here. So for the rest of the day was spent packing our things and replenishing our supplies. As I packed my bag there was a knock on the door of my chambers. Looking up to see my cousin Awren standing in the door way. "I hear you are to leave in the morning?" she asked. I nodded as she came in.

She handed me a box and smiled. "What is this for?" looking at the beautiful necklace that shimmered in the sun.

"A wedding gift for my dear cousin." She took it from the box and had me turn around. She placed it on my neck and moved back to look at me. "You look so much like your mother Elaviel. She was my best friend. We were like sisters instead of cousins. Please be careful on your journey."

"I will. Thank you for the gift." We hugged and she left as I continued to pack. Finally dusk settled on our last night in Rivendell. I took my belongings and headed to the others where they were all settled for the night. Seeing Fili talking to Kili and Balin I went up to him. His arm went around me and I was welcomed by a kiss on the head.

"All set love?" he asked and I nodded. "Good we will be leaving at day break. That's Thorin's plans."

"That is a lovely necklace lass. Where'd you get it?" Balin asked as the others looked at the necklace.

"Arwen gave it to me. As a wedding gift."

"It is very lovely," Balin said as the others nodded.

Fili lead me over to where him and Kili had been bunking. We settled down and listened to the hummings of the others. Bofur looked over at us and pointed his pipe at me. "Rue sing us a song. Haven't heard your lovely voice in a long time." I shook my head but everyone insisted. Sighing I agreed and thought about what song I should sing now. Another Josh Groban song popped into my head and decided on that. "Brave" Standing up and heading over to the fire I stared into it as the lyrics flowed out of my heart bringing many emotions into the song.

Wake up, wake up, the sun cannot wait for long.

Reach out, reach out before it fades away.

You will find the warmth when you surrender.

Smile into the fear and let it play.

You wanna run away, run away and you say that it can't be so.

You wanna look away, look away but you stay cause' it's all so close.

When you stand up and hold out your hand.

In the face of what I don't understand.

My reason to be brave.

Hold on, hold on, so strong, time just carries on.

And all that you thought was wrong is pure again.

You can't hide forever from the thunder.

Look into the storm and feel the rain.

You wanna run away, run away and you say that it can't be so.

You wanna look away, look away but you stay cause' it's all so close.

When you stand up and hold out your hand.

In the face of what I don't understand.

My reason to be brave.

Whoa (x 4)

Go on, go on…

You wanna run away, run away and you say that it can't be so.

You wanna look away, look away but you stay cause' it's all so close.

When you stand up and hold out your hand.

In the face of what I don't understand.

My reason to be brave.

When I finished I looked around at my friends, and now my family. Going back to Fili and snuggling into his chest. His arms wrapped around me making me feel warm and welcomed.

The next morning we woke up and started getting things ready. "Let's go," Thorin said as we headed out of Rivendell. We walked down the halls as fast and quiet as possible. Finally walking over the bridge we headed off on our journey again. Walking up the slope Fili took my hand and smiled. Even though we were on foot from here on out it didn't matter as long as Fili was by my side.

"Be on your guard. We are about to step over the edge of the wild." Thorin said then stopped and let Balin pass. "Balin you know these parts. Lead on." Bilbo stopped and looked back at Rivendell as we passed him. Looking into his eyes I could tell he wanted to spend more time in the Elvish dwelling. "Master Baggins. I suggest that you keep up."

Balin took the lead as we traveled through the lands. There were times that we changed order in the line. Fili and I were at the back of the group with Bofur. I had slipped on some loose gravel and almost fell but Fili caught me. "Thanks," I said looking at him. He nodded and kissed me as we continued on our way.

Finally night had set in and we stopped for the night. After the camp was set up and Bombur was making dinner I laid my head against Fili's shoulder. To tired and hungry to move. His arm wrapped around my shoulders as his head leaned against my head.

"How long until we reach the Misty Mountains?" I heard someone ask Thorin. I think it was Balin but I was too tired to open my eyes.

"We will reach the mountain within two weeks if we keep up the pace. Eat up then get to sleep. We leave at dawn," Thorin said and we all agreed. The stew was distributed and we ate our portion which wasn't much, then laid down. Fili pulled me into his chest and I was out like a light.

Two weeks passed and finally we were at the base of the mountains. To match all of our moods it started to rain. Not a light drizzle but a torrential down pour. The wind didn't help it either driving the cold rain into our bodies as tiny ice daggers piercing our faces.

Higher we climbed and then there was a noise that I heard and I am not sure the others heard it. Then the sound of Bilbo's shouts were heard as he lost his balance and almost fell to his doom. Bofur and Dwalin pulled him back to the mountain.

"We must find shelter!" Thorin shouted over the storm and howling wind.

"LOOK OUT!" Dwalin yelled as all of us looked up just in time to see a boulder heading our way. Fili and Kili pulled me between their bodies to protect me from any falling debris as it collided into the mountain above our heads.

"This is no thunder storm. It's a thunder battle! Look!" Balin said pointing out a figure dispatching itself from the mountain. It grabbed some of the rock that it had been a part of and threw it towards us. Only it didn't hit anywhere near us but another figure.

"Well bless me. The legends were true. Giants, stone giants!" Bofur yelled standing out further on the ledge.

"Take cover you fool!" Thorin yelled as Ori pulled him back in. The ground beneath our feet started to rumble and between Kili and me the ground started to pull apart. We were standing on the knees of a giant.

"Fili, Rue grab my hand," Kili shouted but it was too late. As the giant stood up another giant came over and head butted it sending it crashing back into the mountains. Clinging to Fili as the giant swung at another form coming over. I was starting to get a little sick from the movement.

Then the head of the giant was knocked off by a flying boulder that was tossed. We passed the others by as the giant started to go down. The knee we were on started forward to collide into the mountain. Fili grabbed me and pulled me into his chest as we made contact.

"No! Fili! Rue!" Thorin yelled. Fili was protecting me as we were once again on the same side of the mountain the others were. Fili kissed me with so much force. We started to get up and Fili looked me over to make sure that I wasn't hurt or is when I heard Bofur call out.

"Where's Bilbo?" We looked around and no sign of him. "Where's the hobbit?" I looked around and saw his hands gripping the mountain as he dangled.

"THERE!" I shouted pointing at his hands.

"GET HIM!" Dwalin yelled. He slipped and I clutched to Fili keeping my face hidden.

I heard him grunt and then heard Thorin yell. I turned around and saw that now it was Thorin dangling from the mountain. "DAD!" I shouted as Dwalin caught him and pulled him up. I rushed to his side and hugged him. He hugged back and then stood up. Fili put his arms around me as Thorin looked back at the others.

"I thought we lost our burglar," Dwalin said.

"He's been lost ever since he left home." Thorin growled. "He should have never come. He has no place amongst us." I felt pain in the words that he said. He went over to an entrance of a cave and looked back. "Dwalin."

Fili was helping up Bombur as I went over to Bilbo and helped him up. "You alright?" I asked him. He nodded and looked back. His face held sadness and frustration. "It'll be alright." We walked in with the others out of the cold rain. But the cave wasn't all that better either. Dark and dank not to mention I had an uneasy feeling about this place.

As Dwalin searched the cave Fili put his arms around me and kissed my head. "You alright?" he asked I nodded. Shivering he tried to warm me up but we were both chilled to the bone.

"Right we are then. Let's get a fire started," Gloin clapped his hands and rubbed them together. But he was stopped by Thorin.

"No. No fires," Thorin said making me look at him. "Not in this place." He walked over and started taking off his sword. "Get some sleep. We start at first light."

"We were to wait in the mountain until Gandalf joined us. That was the plan," Balin spoke to him. I was watching them from the corner of my eyes keeping a hand on Fili's arm. Bofur was talking to Filli and wasn't paying attention.

"Things change. Bofur take the first watch." Bofur nodded and we started setting up. Fili went to talk to Thorin and he nodded. Fili came back over and took my hand and lead me to the back of the cave away from the others.

"Fili?" I asked not sure what was going on.

"I asked uncle if we could have some time to ourselves." I blushed when he said that. He chuckled and kissed my head. "Love I want to make sure that your ribs are alright. We crashed hard into the mountains. Us dwarves are hardy but you were just recently injured and are still healing. I am worried about you Rue." He kissed me with so much passion.

When we seperated I nodded as we found a spot that we could be hidden from the others but they were not far off just in case we needed them. His hands when to my sword belt and removed it and took off my tunic. His hands took mine and placed them on his shoulders. He started to feel my chest to make sure that I was alright. "Nothing hurts?"

"No nothing. Fili I am fine. Trust me I would tell you if I was hurt," I smiled as he looked at me. His hands rested on my hips as his thumbs brushed my stomach. Then they moved to my breasts and slid under the bindings. Gasping I looked back at where we came from. "No we can't do it here." I whispered looking back at him. He just smiled and put his hand to the back of head and pulled me in for the most rough but passionate kiss he has ever given to me.

"I want you so bad Rue. We couldn't consummate our marriage because you were still healing. But since you say that you are fine I want you," he kissed me again. His hands started to loosen the bindings. "Just don't be too loud."

"You didn't tell your uncle that you wanted to do this?" I asked turning scarlet just thinking about it. He chuckled and shook his head.

"No I didn't. I just simply asked if we could have some alone time so that I could make sure that you were alright." His kisses started to drive me wild. Finally once the bindings hit the floor he started on my breeches as I tugged on his coat and started to slip it off his shoulders. Taking off his tunic and my breeches leaving me shivering in the cold. He took my hands and placed them on the waistband of his breeches. Smiling I dipped my hands down them and touched his hot, hard member. He hissed and shivered, "whoa your hands are cold."

"Sorry was always told I had bad circulation in my hands," I laughed and he looked at me. "Sorry blood flow to my hands. But they should warm up soon." I smiled and started to massage him. He kissed me and groaned against my lips.

"Enough of this. I want you now," he whispered. Pulling his member from the constriction of his trousers. Laying me on his coat so I wasn't on the cold floor. Spreading my legs and moving in between them inserting himself into me. Gasping but wishing I could moan but being in a close proximity of the others. Fili smiled and kissed me passionately as he thrust into me.

Feeling myself clamp around him as my release was in the midst of snapping. He left my lips and kissed down my neck finding my sweet spot at the base of my neck and collar-bone. "Fili..." I gasped as he bit.

"Sh...love you don't want to wake the others," he growled into my ear. Putting my finger between my teeth as my release snapped. He thrust a few more times then his release came as he grunted. We were panting as he moved some hair from my face and left his hand linger on my cheek. "I love you so much. I am the luckiest dwarf alive to be married to you."

"I love you to Fili. You are my everything." We kissed then we got dressed and headed back to the others to get some sleep. Laying down by Kili 's sleeping form and saying good night to Bofur. Fili pulled me into his chest and sleep took me instantly.

I was woken up by Thorin yelling at us to get up. I sat up and looked around and grabbed onto Fili when the floor beneath us opened up and we started falling. Deeper into the mountain we fell. Fili's arms wouldn't let me go. We landed with a thud and he covered me making sure that I wasn't hurt from the others. "You alright?" he asked worridly as we tried to move.

Before I could answer him, ugly little creatures rushed at us. Nasty hands grabbed us pushing, prodding and pulling us. Fili tried to push the creatures off to get to me but they wouldn't allow it. Pulling up my hood so that my face was hidden from the disgusting things as we went forward.

Looking around the place was just crawling with goblins hissing and making such awful noises as we were pushed forward. The hands touching me was making me want to throw up but I surpressed it until I got a sight of something huge and even more disgusting sitting on a type of throne. He was coughing and wheezing and very repulsive. We were brought to a stop in front of him as he got off and stepping on probably a dozen or so goblins.

The hands of the goblins around us stripped our weapons from our persons and started piling them up so we were unarmed. Great I thought.

"Who would be so bold to come into my kingdom?" he sneered looking over us. "Spies? Thieves? Assassins?" His bulgy eyes looked over us and I pulled my hood further over my face so he wouldn't see me..

"Dwarves your malevolence," another spoke.

"Dwarves?" He questioned sounding surprised that we were even there.

"Found them on the front porch," it said.

"Well just don't stand there search them. Every crack, every crevice." Their hands started to pry through us. Another wave of nausea built up in my stomach but I tried to hold it back. "What are you doing in these parts?" he questioned but none of us said anything. "Speak!" he commanded. Again no one said anything. "Very well if they will not talk. We'll make them sqwuak. Bring out the mangler, bring up the bone breaker. Start with the youngest." It pointed a sausage finger at poor Ori. I was glad that I was in the back furthest away and with Fili by my side.

"Wait!" Thorin yelled causing the goblins to move out of his way.

"Well, well, well. Look who it is Thorin son of Thrain, son of Thror. King under the mountain." He gave a mocking bow to him and then looked up. "Oh I am forgetting you don't have a mountain and you are not a king. Which makes you nobody really." Thorin didn't say anything. "I know somebody that will pay a pretty price for your head. Just a head nothing attached. Perhaps you know of whom I speak. An old enemy of yours. A pale orc astride a white warg?"

"Azog the Defiler was destroyed. He was slain in battle long ago," Thorin disdain clear in his voice.

"So you think his defiling days are done do you? Send word to the pale orc that I have found his prize," it said to a small nasty thing attached to a rope as it left laughing. As it turned, its nasty eyes locked on my figure.

The creatures began to push us forward as the great goblin sang a nasty song and the others wheeling torture devices our way. I grabbed on to Fili's hand not wanting to let go. It seems that we are in a bit of a bind with this one. Oh where was Gandalf when we needed him?

Then suddenly a goblin pulled my hood as it was ripped off my face and they saw me. "A woman and not that but an elf woman." He came over and picked me up and pulling me from the others.

"No Rue!" Fili yelled.

"Let me go!" I yelled trying to get out of his grasp.

"Let my daughter go!" I heard Thorin yell making us look at him.

"This? Your daughter? Or this is rich. Azog will be happy," he cackled with delight.
