I flip over in the air and use air to slow my fall. I landed on my feet. I look up and couldn't see the dwarves. I sigh as I start walking in the direction we were heading. I knew Thorin and Dwalin were probably throwing a fit I was gone. I heard claw marks on the ground and turn. My eyes widen when I see Azog on his warg with the other wargs. Azog points at me as I tried to run. Something came at me and knocked me to the ground. I turn and gasp.
"Alvin!" I said. Alvin stood smirking as I tried to move away from him.
"I got her master." Alvin said.
"Master. Alvin what are you thinking?!" I cry in anger, standing. Alvin grabbed me.
"I made a deal with the orcs. I wanted you dead so I could take the throne." Alvin said. I kick him hard where it hurt. He grunted.
"How do you feel now? You killed all our people. This is why Father saw you unfit for the part of King. You are to greedy and demanding." I said. Alvin punched me hard in the face. I slap him hard and he punched me again to the point I fell to my knees. I clutched my face. He kicked me hard in the stomach and I coughed. Alvin grabbed me by the hair and made me look at him.
"You don't think I not know that. You had fathers love I didn't." Alvin said. I grab my hidden dagger and slashed his check.
"Jealousy? That's why you turned me over to the orcs and slaughtered our people." I yell, tears filled my eyes. My face was in pain from the punches I received. Alvin pulled out his sword.
"ENOUGH!" Azog yelled.
"But master. You want her dead." Alvin growled.
"She is gonna stay alive to see the dwarves be killed. My eyes widen. I stand, clutching my ribs.
"You will not kill the line of Durin while I'm alive." I said. Azog saw the braids of Durin in my hair.
"So you are close with the dwarves. BRING HER." Azog said. I felt a boot hit me on the side of the head and I blacked out.
I woke up on one of the wargs with an orc, laying across as they come up to a cliff. I could hear the dwarves talking in the valley below. Azog saw me awake and he grabbed me by the hair.
"Now you will watch, fairy and then I will kill you." Azog said. I scream in a warning and Azog let me go.
Dwalin's POV. A scream filled the air as Bilbo smiled at us.
"Celeste!" I yell. I had been worried about her in the Goblintown. Warg howls came and we knew she was with them and she was warning us.
"Out of the frying pan." Thorin said, looking worried.
"And into the fire! Run! Run!" Gandalf yelled. We start running down the mountain as fast as we could. The wargs were coming up on us fast. I swung my axe and knock down one of the wargs.
"Up into the trees, all of you! Come on, climb! Bilbo climb!" Gandalf yelled. Bifur throws an axe, killing a warg which was coming at him. I jump into the trees and climb high enough.
"They're coming." Thorin shouted. The wargs circle around us and stop as Azog steps onto a rock on his warg. Azog looks at him in surprise.
"Azog?!" Thorin said. Azog spoke in the black speech. He motions his hand and a rider comes up to him. He grabs someone by the hair and lifts her up. Her face looked swelled like she took a beating. I nearly flew out of the tree at the sight. Balin had to stop me.
"Not now." Balin said.
Celeste's POV. I tried to grab my hair.
"Now you will watch as your precious dwarves die." Azog said. He threw me in front of him. I hit the ground and groan. Azog gave the command and I picked my head up as the Wargs leap forward and try and climb the trees.
"NO!" I scream as they jump high. I heard Alvin land next to me. I looked up at him as the trees were knocked down. "I will kill you." I struggle to get up and try and attack him, but he grabbed me by arm and put a sword to my neck.
"You will watch." Alvin whispered in my ear. I saw the dwarves were in the tree next to the cliff. A pinecone that was on fire comes flying down and hits the ground. Wargs retreat in fear. I smile.
"Fili!" Gandalf yelled. I closed my eyes as dwarves started throwing the pinecones as I used my fire abilities. I make the fire spread.
"Stop." Alvin growled.
"Wasn't me." I said, opening my eyes. I scream out in fear as the tree starts falling. "NO!" I couldn't move without getting my throat cut. Tears were in my eyes as Dor fell with Ori holding his foot. Gandalf caught them with his staff. Ori was yelling for help. Thorin stands up. "NO THORIN!" I reach for my dagger as my brother doesn't pay attention. Azog crouches as Thorin runs towards him, sword raised. Azog roars as his warg leaps at Thorin. Thorin tries to swing his sword but the warg hits him in the chest, smashing Thorin to the ground. I watch in horror. Thorin struggles to get up as Azog turns the warg around. The warg charges. Azog swings the mace and smashes Thorin the face. Thorin flies to the ground on impact.
"NO!" Balin yells. I couldn't stand it as the White Warg clamps its jaw around Thorin. I take out the dagger and stab Alvin hard in the side. He screams in pain as Thorin was flung onto the rock.
"You will not win. You choose the wrong side." I growl. I ran towards Thorin as an orc approaches. Bilbo was running. I shot an arrow as the orc goes to bring the sword on Thorin's head. Bilbo jumps on him and brings him down. He starts stabbign him. I jump in front of Thorin and Bilbo. Bilbo comes to my side. I hold my sword in front of me.
"You will not have them!" I yell.
"Kill them." Azog said. Three wargs aprroached us, snarling. Yells came as Fili, Kili, and Dwalin charge the wargs and attacks them. I yell and join the fight. I slash one warg. I scream as a warg grabbed me and bit into me.
"Celeste!" Dwalin yelled. I drove my dagger in the wargs eye. The warg sent me flying. I hit the ground and groan. I looked up as Alvin stood walking towards me. Blood pouring from him.
"The Line of Durin will end and you will watch." Alvin snarled.
"Not with me. I will make sure of it." I said. A noise comes and I look up to see eagles coming. They grabbed wargs and threw them off the cliff. I watch as a eagle fly over and grab Thorin and his sword. The branch shield fell to the ground. Dwalin runs towards me, but is scooped up and thrown off a cliff. A eagle flies at me and grabs me. I am thrown off and land on an eagle. I push hair out of my face as I watch the rest of the dwarves get grabbed along with Gandalf and the eagles flew off with Azog roaring in anger behind us.
We flew through the sky over landscapes.
"Thorin." Fili yelled. I turned grunting in pain as my ribs screamed from the kicking I received. Thorin wouldn't respond to his nephew. The agles approach a massive rock structure shaped like a bear. The eagle carrying Thorin placed him down first. Gandalf was next. He ran towards Thorin.
"Thorin. Thorin" Gandalf said. My eagle landed and I jumped off. I watch as Gandalf put a hand to Thorin's face and mumble words. Dwarves were getting off their eagles. Thorin's eyes open.
"The Halfling? Celeste?" Thorin asked. I sighed in relief.
"It's all right. Bilbo and Celeste are here. They are quite safe." Gandalf said. Dwalin and Kili helped Thorin up. He shrugged them off as soon as they were gone. Dwalin turned to me. He came over and gingerly took my chin.
"What happened?" Dwalin growled.
"Alvin. He survived. He ordered the attack on my people. He wanted the throne, but ended with no one survived." I said.
"And he hit you?! He should know better to lay hands on a woman even if your his sister. When I get my hands on..." Dwalin never finished as I lean up and kissed him. Silence fell as I kissed him. I was so happy to see him and I couldn't hold back as I wrap my arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close as he returned the kiss. The dwarves cheer. We pull apart and he presses his head against mine.
"About time." Fili shouted. I blush. Thorin approach.
"I'm happy to see you alive and well, Celeste. You look horrible." Thorin said, pulling me into a hug.
"You look just as bad, Thorin." I said, as I return the hug. Thorin looked at Dwalin.
"If you choose to court her. You have my blessing." Thorin said. Dwalin and I turn red as Thorin steps away. I look at him with a shy smile. Dwalin chuckled as he was about to say something when the eagles screech and fly away. We watch them go and Thorin steps forward. Dwalin pulled me towards the edge. In the distance in the horizon, was an outline of a single solitary mountain. I smile.
"Is that what I think it is?" Bilbo asked.
"Erebor. The Lonely Mountain. The last of the great dwarf kingdoms of Middle Earth." Gandalf said.
"Our home." Thorin said. Dwalin and I look at each other and smile.
"We are almost there." I said. Dwalin pulled me close to his side as I wrap my arms around him and laid my head on his shoulder. A bird cherps and flies by.
"A raven! The birds are returning to the mountain." Oin said.
"That, my dear Oin. Is a thrush." Gandalf said.
"But we'll take it as a sign, a good omen." Thorin said.
"You're right. I do believe the worst is behind us." Bilbo said. We looked out towards Erebor and I knew it was gonna get worse, but we were so close now.
AN: And there's the kiss and we are into Desolation of Smaug. Lots of chapters posted today. But hope everyone is happy and yes Alvin is alive. But did he survive? Hmm. Guess you'll have to wait and see. Till next time.
