Chapter 11
Barely Even Friends
Sonya's POV
He said my name! At long last he said my name.
"You called me Sonya."
"Shall I return to calling you girl?" he asked.
His tone was teasing and I smiled.
"No, Sonya is….perfect."
He nodded and we sort of just stared at each other for a while.
"Why did you save me? I have been so cruel to you."
I looked away.
"I know you hate me, but I don't hate you. I never have. Sure you really ticked me off and I wanted to shoot you at times, but after all you've been though I kind of understand why you're like that."
I looked back at him. His eyes were on me.
"I do not hate you." I gasped. "I did at first, but no longer. I have seen what you can do and what you have done. For Kili, and the rest of them. And I heard your story. I was not sure of it was real. But where am I?"
I smiled and nodded.
"In Imladris…er…I mean Rivendell. And before you get all mad, you wouldn't have survived if it hadn't been for Elrond."
He nodded.
"I would like to hear more. Of your story I mean." he whispered.
I smiled. I told him more of the story, I knew I would have to tell Fili and Kili later, but right now I was just going to tell Thorin. As I was telling him my cell phone went off again. I groaned and answered it.
"Hello?"
I held the phone away from my ear.
"WHERE ARE YOU GIRL!? YOU HAVE THINGS TO DO AND DROPS TO MAKE! IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR SORRY ASS BACK RIGHT NOW I WILL BEAT YOU TO DEATH!"
I put the phone on mute so he wouldn't hear me, but we could still hear him.
"Who is that?" He asked.
"My uncle." I whispered.
"So all I have to do is speak into this machine and he shall hear me."
"Yeah but what are you gonna do?"
"Please give it to me."
I unmated it and handed it to him.
"Thorin?"
"He knows not how loud I can be."
Then he started to shout at my uncle.
"NOW YOU LISTEN TO ME YOU PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A MAN! SONYA IS SAFE HERE WITH ME AND YOU ARE TO STOP CONTACTING HER AND LEAVE HER BE! SHE IS FREE OF YOU AND NOW HAS A BETTER LIFE HERE! IF YOU EVER CONTACT HER AGAIN OR COME NEAR HER I WILL END YOUR LIFE! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!?"
"WHO IS THIS?! YOU CAME NEAR ME YOU BASTARD AND I'LL BLOW YOUR BRAINS OUT.."
He continued on but I took the phone.
"Uncle Jim….I'm never coming back. You and Aunt Lisa are on your own. I'll never do anything for you again. I'm happy here without you. You took me in and I'll always be grateful. But you never cared about me. You beat me you made me feel worthless. But I'm not. I can only say….." I sighed and looked down. "Is that I forgive you for all of it. Good-bye."
"DON'T YOU DARE HANG UP THIS PHONE YOU LITTLE BI…."
I hung up the phone and in my anger I threw it to the ground. I wouldn't need it anymore.
"Are you alright?" he asked me.
"I'll be fine. I'll go so you can rest."
He nodded. As I reached the door I stopped and turned to look at him.
"I'll admit…..I like hearing you say my name. And I uh….." I looked down. "well….I'm grateful you saved me. I wasn't ready to die."
I left the room and went to find the others.
Thorin's POV
She liked when I said her name? I liked the sound of her name.
"Sonya." I whispered.
It sounded like a song. I smiled a little and then closed my eyes.
"Sonya…"
Sonya's POV
I did not go back to the others. I had meant to, but I wound up down by a waterfall. I sighed and sat down next to the water.
"Sonya."
I looked around but no one was there. I shrugged and stared at the water. I thought about drawing what I saw but I remembered I left my bag in Thorin's room. I wasn't going back in there. I stood up and wandered around Imladris. It was the most amazing place I had ever seen. I managed to find the others and I sat down next to Bofur. I heard a creaking and I looked up. Bofur must have heard it to.
"Bombur!"
He threw a small sausage to him and then the table broke beneath him. I started to laugh along with the other dwarves. Bifur was sort of just looking around with a 'what just happened?' look on his face. This made me laugh harder.
"Excuse me?"
We all stopped laughing and looked up. Two elves were standing there. Twins from the looks of it. I was guessing they were Elladan and Elrohir.
"Is Lady Sonya here?"
No shit Sherlock. I was the only woman.
"Yes I am she."
"I am Elrohir and this is my younger twin brother Elladan. Will you follow us?"
I nodded and walked off, after assuring the dwarves I would be back. I wondered what the elf twins might want with me.
