Chp 9
Uncertain future
The morning sun rose gently in the sky soaking the room in a golden hue. Thorin opened his eyes and shot up in bed and wildly looked around hoping he had not dreamt last night. A warmth from next to him caused him to look down and he saw Cena was laying on her stomach with her face turned towards him peacefully sleeping in his bed.
"It was not a dream" Thorin said contently as he sighed and laid back down in bed and turned on his side and watched Cena sleep. He reached and some hair from Cena's face and she then moved her head and rolled to her side with her back towards Thorin. He let out a small chuckle as he then wrapped his arms around her.
"Is it early" Cena whispered tirely as she felt Thorin's arms around her again.
"Dawn" Thorin said.
"Why are you up so early" Cena said and turned so she face Thorin and looked into his blue eyes.
"I had thought it was all a dream" Thorin said as Cena rested her hand on his face and ran her hands through his black hair.
"I am not that cruel" Cena said with a smile "I will stay as long as you will have me"
"Then you shall never leave" Thorin said as he leaned forward and kissed her.
"Do they think I am dead" Cena asked as she snuggled into Thorin and felt safe in his arms.
"Some" Thorin said "I never thought it to be true, you are the most stubborn woman I know"
"And you the most stubborn man" Cena said and felt Thorin chuckle through his chest.
"I have something of yours" Thorin said as he unwrapped himself from Cena and got out of the bed and walked over to a small chest he had and opened it and walked back and Cena was sitting up in the bed "It is yours after all" he then opened his hands and it held her diamond and ruby necklace that Thorin had made for her years ago.
"You kept it" Cena said as she took the necklace and stroked it "After all these years"
"I knew you would be back" Thorin replied as Cena once again put it around her neck and he saw her smile.
"Thank you Thorin" Cena replied and Thorin smiled for the first time in a long time.
"Get dressed we will go see the others" Thorin said and she nodded as Thorin left to give her privacy.
Cena took off her clothes and put on a pair of pants Thorin had left her and as she was putting on the shirt she heard a noise and stopped just below her breast and turned to see Thorin there starring at her. He could see the ugly scar left by an orc that marred her back.
"What happened" Thorin said as he walked over and touched the scar as Cena pulled the shirt the rest of the way down.
"An orc" Cena replied "it looked worse before"
"I am sorry Cena" Thorin said and she turned and looked at him.
"For what?" Cena said as she felt Thorin's hand still resting on her scar.
"That I could not protect you" Thorin said.
"I ran you didn't" Cena said.
"You shouldn't have to run in the first place" Thorin said "I can't forgive myself for letting you go"
"Don't then" Cena said and rested her hand on Thorin's face. "Don't let me go again"
"I won't" Thorin said and kissed Cena slowly on the lips before pulling back "Come let's go see the others.
Soon they headed to out and Cena was still incredibly nervous as they walked down the halls. Many people were whispering as they passed, Thorin paid them no mind as he walked with Cena besides him. Soon they reaching the dining room and Thorin opened the doors followed by Cena and they could see that no one was there yet. They sat down with Cena's back to the door and Thorin directly across from her sending her a warm smile which she returned. As they were eating they heard the door open.
"Thorin, surpised you are here earlier than we are" Frerin said and notice someone sitting in the chair across from him "I see you have finally moved on"
"Frerin!" Dis said harshly "Leave brother alone!"
"She is dead and gone" Frerin said and everyone saw the chair move and Cena looked from around the chair.
"Sorry to disappoint" Cena said as she looked at Frerin and saw his face shocked at Balin had a huge smile on his face and Dis went running towards her and almost made the chair fall backwards as she hugged her.
"I've missed you!" Dis said and hugged Cena tightly.
"It's good to see you back lassie" Balin said with a smile as he walked over.
The morning past without much more incident and Dis had told Cena everything that happened since she left and kept her on all the on goings of their new lives. All except Frerin, he still had this sour about him that followed him as he walked. It worried Cena, it put her on edge everything she saw him, he had become unpredictable. Thorin was called away by his grandfather with urgency and Cena knew it wouldn't be good.
"Don't worry" Dis said as they sat on her bed "Probably nothing too important"
"I bet" Cena said and then smiled "So any handsome men catch your eye"
"Cena!" Dis said and laughed happily then smiled shyly "Perhaps. He's such a handsome man"
"Dis remember this" Cena said as she stared into her eyes "Always follow your heart even if it doesn't lead you where you want. Love is never easy and sometimes the right thing to do is not always want you want to do" Cena then rested her hand on her heart "This will always lead you in the right direction but your head sees more clear than you heart. Follow both and you find your prince"
"I will Cena" Dis said as she hugged her "I've missed our girl time"
"Yes I can imagine that Thorin isn't too good at girl talk" Cena said and Dis laughed just as Thorin walked in to the room with a frown on his face "Thorin what's wrong"
"The mines have been over taken by Orcs" Thorin said "We are to try and reclaim them"
"How bad is it?" Cena said.
"We do not know, but grandfather wishes to try" Thorin said "To take back our ancient kingdom"
"When does this happen" Cena asked as she looked at Thorin's trouble face.
"We start training and march as soon as the new recruits are trained" Thorin said and Dis ran off out the door.
"That wouldn't be too long" Cena said as she walked over to Thorin "When do they start to train"
"Soon" Thorin said and let out a weary sigh.
"Thorin, I can help" Cena said and Thorin looked at her "I have learned to wield a bow rather well"
"I cannot" Thorin said
"Thorin" Cena said as she gently touched his face "Let me help, I will not disappoint you"
"It's not that" Thorin said.
"Thorin I have spent over 20 years alone in the wilds" Cena said gently "I am not going anywhere but I did have to learn to hunt and have gotten fairly good, let me show you just you and then you decide alright"
"Alright" Thorin said and Cena smiled "Come we will do it now"
"Sounds good to me" Cena replied and followed Thorin out of the room and they headed down a long hallway and sent through a door and saw a large room that overlooked the mountains. "Its beautiful up here"
"I came her a lot to think" Thorin said "Its large enough for you to show me" he then left and not long after came back with a bow and a sword and some arrows "Aim for that tree" he pointed to a tree that was resting alongside the mountain.
Cena took the bow and gently knocked an arrow and aimed carefully and soon the arrow flew and landed in the center of its trunk. She then took another arrow and aimed in the same area and then split the previous arrow she had in the tree.
"Impressive" Thorin said as he picked up the sword "How are you at hand to hand" he then charged at Cena who used her bow to block the sword.
Cena had learned to fight with the bow as a weapon its self after coming across Orcs more times than she cared to remember. Thorin kept coming after her and soon enough her bow broke in half and it left her with two pieces of wood.
"What will you do now" Thorin said with a smirk on his face.
"Throw them at you" Cena laughed and threw one piece at him and it just missed his head.
"Watch it" Thorin said as Cena threw the other one at him as she laughed and he grabbed her while she moved her leg and caused him to lose his balance and drop the sword and they both fell to the ground.
Cena had landed on the bottom with her limbs intertwined with Thorin's. Cena was breathing a little heavy as Thorin made no effort to get off of her. Thorin looked down at Cena as he brought his hand up to gently stroke the ever present scar on her face, before leaning down and kissing her deeply. Cena slowly wrapped her arms around Thorin as they both readjusted so he rested between her legs. Thorin pulled back a moment and looked at Cena.
Flame red hair spread across the ground like a fire as lavender eyes stared into his. Her lips turned slightly pink from Thorin kissing her, and seeing her dressed in his clothes, Thorin could not imagine a more beautiful sight.
"What?" Cena asked at Thorin continued to stare at her and she ran a hand through his dark hair. "Thorin?"
"If this is a dream, then the Gods are surely cruel" Thorin said before he went and kissed Cena again who knew that she wasn't the only one having dreams about each other.
Thorin trailed one of his hands down Cena's body and felt it jump at his touch, he then snaked a hand under the shirt and felt the softness of Cena's skin. Cena ran her hands over Thorin before gently tugging at the bottom of his shirt which he then quickly disposed leaving him bare and Cena could see how fit Thorin was. Both of them paused a moment and realized how exposed they were. Worry and instinct had taken over but they had stopped.
"Dis is probably looking for us" Cena whispered as Thorin pulled back from Cena.
"Probably" Thorin said as he kissed Cena and then stood up and helped Cena up and then put his shirt on "Cena.."
"Thorin I know, it's not the time" Cena said as Thorin kissed her lips again and they headed back inside. "You are a prince after all, best be on your good behavior" she then gave Thorin a little smack on his butt as she ran past him.
"Cena" Thorin called and ran after her.
Night had come quickly and Cena was in a separate room from Thorin. She was down the hall laying in a large bed by herself as she stared out into the night sky from the window. The stars were shining brightly with the light of a half moon. Serenity had washed over Cena and her eyes began to droop under the pressure of sleep and she then gave in.
Blood. Lots of Blood. Cena was left alone on the battle field fighting of Orcs, elves, and humans and dwarfs. Cena had been cut badly on her shoulder and her bloodied hand held a sword that kept the Orcs at bay. A cry caused Cena to turn and barely miss an attack from an orc.
"THORIN!" Cena cried as she saw him go down "NO!" her body reacted as she ran and used her magic to turn into a large saber cat. She crushed the Orcs skulls and killed the enemies around a downed Thorin.
Kili and Fili had saw their uncle go down and rushed over to defend him. Cena's body turned back and she took Thorin's face in her hands. His body was covered in blood, and Cena had tears in her eyes.
"Cena you used magic your promised" Thorin said as Cena let out a laugh.
"You are wounded and your worried about me using my magic" Cena said as she felt Thorin's hand wipe the tear from her scarred cheek. "I have to get you someplace safe"
"No" Thorin said and then grunted in pain "Go, leave me"
"I will not leave you here to die" Cena said as she heard more shouts and turned to see Kili on one knee. "Kili!" she then looked around and found an orc bow and quickly picked it up and killed the orc before it could get to Kili. Her attention turned back to Thorin and she saw his eyes were begging to become heavy "No you can't leave me Thorin" she wiped the blood away from his face "Thorin stay with me"
"Cena" Thorin said lovely as he looked at Cena and she leaned down and kissed him. When she pulled back she saw Thorin give her one more smile before the hand touching her face fell.
"THORIN!" Cena cried out in pain "Don't go, Thorin!" she then heard a noise behind her and saw an orcish blade coming down on her.
Cena shot up in bed breathing heavy, and shaking all over as she heard the door open and Thorin rush in to see her eyes red with tears and fear on her face. She had cried out in her sleep and Thorin who was only a few rooms down heard her cries of pain.
"Cena" Thorin said as he went to the bed and Cena saw him and launched on him in a hug "Shhh it was just a dream"
"It seemed so real" Cena cried into Thorin's chest "I was so real"
"Shhh Cena" Thorin whispered gently to her as he stroked her hair and then picked her up and carried her to his room where he laid her on the bed and went in after her.
Cena turned in the bed and hugged Thorin tightly as her sobs started to calm. Her face was in Thorin's chest, breathing in him. Thorin continued to sooth Cena, as her sobs ceased and her body became still and tense. His arms around Cena held her tightly even as he heard her start to fade once again into sleep.
