Lilly POV
"I just want to see him, is that too much to ask?" I all but shouted at the poor elf who had drawn the short straw and had to come check on my wounds.
"I am sorry M'lady, but the king has demanded that you rest." She finished with a bow of the head before swiftly exiting the room.
I sat for another five minutes before huffing and flinging the thin blanket off me and opening the door. A startled guard jumped from his sitting position, hand on the tip of his sword.
"Easy there."
"Sorry M'lady, you startled me. Forgive me."
"There's nothing to forgive" I laughed.
"If you don't mind me asking M'lady, why are you out of bed?"
"Well if you must know, I am terribly bored and wish to see my friends."
"I am sorry, but the king has demanded that you stay in bed until you have fully recovered."
"Listen, I am in pain, but mostly I am pissed off. I've been here god knows how long and all I want to do is see my friends. If you won't take me, I will find it myself. So please, help me."
He stood for a moment thinking, before sighing and telling me to follow him.
We walked through a number of hallways before reaching a door with two guards outside of it.
"You have 10 minutes, then back to bed. Now go."
I smiled and thanked him before rushing through the doors.
"Thorin, psst, Thorin?" I called into the darkness.
"Lilly? Is it really you?" a voice called from the back of the cells.
"Yes, where are you?"
"Oh lass, it's good to see you." Balin called from one of the first cells.
"It's good to see you too." I smiled as I rushed to the back of the damp cells. I almost cried when his face came into view.
He rushed forward and pulled me into a kiss through the bars.
"You should be resting." He murmured into my hair.
"Funny, you sound just like the elves." I smirked at him. He glared back at me.
"Just kidding." I laughed.
"I thought you dead." He spoke in a sad voice.
"Well I'm not, I'm right here. I'll always be right here." I smile, pulling him towards me again.
"M'lady, it is time to go." A voice called from the door.
"I need to go." I said sadly. He gripped my hand tighter and pulled me for one last kiss.
"We leave tonight, meet us at the cellar." I nodded and pecked him again.
On the way out I spotted Fili and Kili's cell.
"Did Lauren come to speak with you?"
"More shouted at this idiot." Fili replied from the mattress.
"What did you do?"
"Nothing, I just…"
"He just accused her of sleeping with the prince." Fili cut his brother off.
"You what? Are you stupid? Do you know how it took me to convince her to give you a chance? You won't get off this one lightly, I'll be surprised if she acknowledges your existence again."
"I know, I messed it all up. I was angry and jealous. I spoke without thinking." He replied with his head in his hands.
"I make no promises, but I will speak with her." He looked up and smiled slightly.
"I promise nothing though, just remember that." He nodded and went back to gazing at the clasp in his hands.
"M'lady, we must go." The elf called down again.
"I'm coming."
With one last wave I left the cells and entered the hallway again.
"We need to make another stop. I need to speak with Lauren."
"You must rest."
"And I will rest, leave me with her and I will sleep."
"Very well, this way."
He left me standing in front of a door. I knocked and heard a few choice swear words.
"I thought I told you to leave me alone." She called from the other side.
"Shut up and let me in!" I called back.
"Lilly?"
"No it's the Easter Bunny, now open the door"
"You're supposed to be in bed, we leave tonight and you need rest." She said whilst opening the door.
"I know, that's why I came here. I can talk to you and sleep."
"Any why would you need to talk to me?" She said, both of us now sitting on the bed.
"I went to visit Thorin and had a chat with Kili."
Her features turned stony.
"Don't mention his name."
"Lauren, he was just upset…"
"And that gives him the right to basically call me a whore? I don't think so."
"He was jealous, he doesn't want to lose you. He didn't know…"
"That is was there? Didn't know what he was saying? That's no excuse. I'm done with him."
"Lauren, don't you dare give up on you two."
"Lilly, there is no 'us' I thought I could trust him, but he proved wrong. I don't want to try to fix it because there's nothing left to fix. I don't care about him."
"Don't you think you can pull that 'I don't care about anything' crap with me. I can see through the bull shit you spout and I know you care about him."
"Well believe what you want."
"Just let him make it up to you, please."
"I'm going to say this one more time. He can try to make it up to me, get my trust back, it won't work. I'm done with the little head games and what not. I'm happier myself."
"I want to punch you sometimes." I laughed whilst laying back on the bed.
"Ditto" She chuckled, joining me.
We were sound asleep in minutes.
A/N- This was my escape from writing an essay and crying about writing an essay. I think I'm getting back into the swing of things and yes I AM ALIVE. Like fucking Sherlock after jumping off a building!
