Sorry about having to change the chapters. Now this chapter goes along with the New and Improved chapter. Hopefully it's good.
Also, sadly there is no bun in the oven. I'm glad for because we live with my in-laws who are not healthy. They are mental insane but won't take medication.
Feeling safe slowly wakes me up. I'm lying on a soft bed, enclosed in someone's muscular arms. A warm breeze is blowing over top of me, not touching my body because I'm under a blanket, just ruffling my hair.
Opening my eyes, I look around without moving my head. Kili is lying next to me, arms around me. Gathered around the bed, around the room, are the dwarves. They are sleeping in weird positions, probably worried about Kili.
Memories flash through my mind. All that I can remember is appearing to where my classmates were. What they did to me is black. I don't try to figure out what they did, knowing that it's my brain's way of helping, just glad that I survived.
Kili's eyes slowly open. He smiles sleepily at me. Leaning forward, his lips press against mine. It sends a nice shock through me. I smile happily at him, liking how I feel with him, knowing that I will spend the rest of my life or however long he wants, with him.
"I love you, Lovely Girl." He whispers, before kissing me again. Then he asks me. "Should we wake up the others?"
"If you keep kissing me like that, you can do anything." I answer, smiling at him, liking the way his eyes light up.
"You guys are not very quiet." Dwalin says, startling me. "You make a wonderful couple, especially you, Lady Audrey."
I duck my head against Kili's chest, cheeks bright red. He just chuckles, holding me close. He kisses the top of my head, holding me firmer but not tighter. I bit back a laugh, keeping my face turned away from everyone.
"They are gone, Lovely Girl." Kili whispers after the door closes. "They do not mean anything bad, just happy that you do not hate me."
"What?" I ask, looking up at his face. "Why would I hate you? I trust you." I add, like my last sentence is ending this argument.
He just smiles, kissing me again. I giggle, snuggling closer to him. He rolls us over so that he is on top of me. Instead of feeling scared, I know that he won't take my virginity until I'm ready and tell him so. He's the perfect gentleman.
"We should go or I might do something that I will regret." Kili whispers as he pulls back from kissing me, looking ashamed of himself.
"It's alright. I trust that you won't make me do anything that I don't want to do." I whisper, gently kissing him.
"We have to go. Lady Galadriel is here to see you. She came last night, saying her dream made her come earlier than the other council members." Kili tells me.
He gets off me, standing up. I sit up, wincing as I feel like I've been used as a punching bag. A couple of times I've felt like this, though I never remember why. All I do know is that my intimate areas don't hurt, so my virginity wasn't taken.

Half an hour later, we are in the dining area. This time, there is just one long table. Elrond is sitting at one end. At the other end of the table and along those sides are the elves of Rivendell. They are looking disdain at the dwarves.
Next to Elrond, on the left are Haldir, two empty seats, then Thorin and half of the dwarves. To Elrond's right are two, long white haired people in fancy robes like Elrond. Next to them are Gandalf, Bilbo, and then the rest of the dwarves.
The two new people stand up as Kili and I enter. My cheeks redden, still not used to people looking at me without anger or disgust. Kili leads me forward as my eyes look down, not wanting to see them attack me, either verbally or physically.
"Lady Audrey, this is Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel." Elrond nicely introduces, gesturing to the new people.
"Hello." I whisper, unsure why they are there and still looking at me, weirdly. "Thanks." I tell Kili as he pulls my chair out.
Carefully I sit, still feeling weak from whatever happened with my classmates. My right hand reaches out to pick up a spoon. As the hand closes around the handle, pain sears up my arm, sending the spoon clanking back onto the table.
Gasping, I bring the arm to my chest as tears slide down my cheeks. My eyes turn to Kili, wondering what happened. The only reason that I know They buried me alive was because They killed my family as my family tried to save me.
"When you disappeared, they branded your right wrist." Kili softly tells me. "Oin put ointment on it but it will be sensitive for a while."
"They are mad that I didn't die. They accidently killed my brother than had to kill the rest of my family because my family could live without me but not without my brother." I tell him, sounding weird because of my crying.
"How can you still be innocent after everything you have been through?" Lord Celeborn demands; standing up and slamming his palms on the table.
Startled, I jump, turning to him. Not liking loudness, I cringe closer to Kili, scared of Celeborn. Elrond and Gandalf stand up, angrily yelling at Celeborn. My heartbeats speed up; scared of what's going to happen because people get abusive when they get angry.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." I keep repeating as more black images flash through my mind, blocking out everything else.
