(Lilly POV)

Blood, blood everywhere. The clashing of swords and other weapons rung through the air. So many have fallen. I continued my battle with an Orc who had though I was an easy target, I proved him wrong when i slit his throat with my sword. In an instant i had moved and was now heading towards Thorin, but something felt different. Looking at my arms, my skin had turned grey with boils and scars. I had grown too. This was not my body. With an angry cry I charged at Thorin, unable to control the movements of this body. With a heavy heart i swung my heavy blade which he managed to block. A battle broke between us. I fell to the ground, sword banished from my hands as Thorin stood above me, ready to plunge his sword. I tried to speak, to tell him who i was, but it was too late. I looked down on the scene before me. I was me again but Thorin now held my lifeless body in his hands, tears of regret streamed down his face as he pulled his sword from my body and held it to his heart. Balin shouted whilst Fili and Kili ran to stop their uncle, but by the time they had got to him, his body was cold.

'Lilly, my love, forgive me for i did not mean it' I heard his voice whisper from behind me.

'There is nothing to forgive dear' I smiled as i turned to face him.

I turned back to the battle and spotted the broken figure of Lauren lying on the ground. With pain and tears in her eyes she picked herself of the ground and ran for a band of Orcs who had cornered Ori.

'Come love, it is time for us to go' He said as he took my hand and pulled me towards a shining light.

'Lilly, Lilly' he spoke, but another voice overtook.

'Lilly, wake up' The light was fading to darkness.

'Lilly!' I felt myself being shoved off the warm bed. I looked up to see Lauren's face hanging over the side staring down at me.

'Good you're up' She grinned 'You have 30 minutes to get ready and meet us by the courtyard, clothes are on the chair'

'I'm up!' I grunted before picking myself off the ground.

'So what jumped up your ass last night' I asked whilst i started to get ready.

'What do you mean'

'I mean, you went to apologize to Kili and came back with a face like a slapped arse' I saw her mouth tighten at the mention of his name.

'Nothing happened, i apologized and he acted like a complete prick' She spat

'And how was he a complete prick' I pushed further.

'He said he would accept my apology so long as kissed him' This caught my attention

'And did you?'

'Well yes, but before you start your "you fancy him" bullshit, he said he would tell you and his uncle i did not apologize' She huffed out.

'Hmmm sure' I grinned at her 'Lauren and Kili sitting in a tree k-i-s-s..OW! that book was heavy' I yelled rubbing my arm.

'Then shut up and books won't magically fly at you' She laughed back.

'Okay I'm ready, let's go' I smiled picking up the pack that Lauren had so graciously packed for me and attaching the weapons that Lord Elrond had given us.

We both put our cloaks on and headed off to meet the Dwarves and Hobbit. As we approached, Kili's eye shot straight to Lauren, who had now pulled her hood up to stop her blush being noticed. "Well this is new"

'Nice of yous to join us' Thorin greeted us with a bitter tone, disappointed that we had bothered to show up.

'Wouldn't miss it for the world' I replied with a sickly sweet smile.

(Lauren POV)

'Is a bow not a bit to much for a lady to handle, maybe a small dagger would be more suitable' I heard his voice question from beside me.

"Just ignore him, he'll go away"

'I mean, you seem like a very capable woman, but it is a mans job to protect'

"Just look ahead and stay silent"

'Are you even listening to me' He said coming to stand in front of me making me walk into his chest

'No, no i am not' I said trying to side step him, but he moved his body in front of mines again, causing the same reaction.

'Will you move out of my way' I said through gritted teeth "Where the hell is Lilly"

'Why do you dislike me so much' I was caught off guard by his bluntness

'I..well..it's because..I..I just do' I huffed when i couldn't think of an answer

'Forgive me, but that is not a proper answer'

'I do not need to explain myself to anyone, let alone you' I replied looking into his eyes, thankful for when i heard Lilly call my name. He stepped aside then went to join his brother.

'What was that' She questioned as i got closer

'He just..oh i don't know' I let out an exasperated breath and continued on with Lilly laughing silently beside me.
