Lalina's POV:
I was tied with rope on a tree, as this ominous dwarf approached me. "Who are you?! What do you want with me?!" I snapped. "I am Delmar, future Lord of Ered Mithrin. And you, my dear will become my wife and Queen!" snarled Delmar. "You sick bastard! Is that what you want me for? To become your wife in order to rule a place that has been destroyed long ago!" I screamed. "Your father is a bastard, and never knew how to rule any land! I should've been Lord of Ered Mithrin!" barked Delmar angrily. "How dare you speak of my father that way?! My father is a great leader, and you have no right to talk about him that way!" I screamed.
Suddenly, Delmar smirked. "If you must know-my precious Lalina, let me fill you in on a little secret-!" hissed Delmar, as he moved closer to me, his face right into my ear.
"It was I, who killed your father!" Delmar hissed. When I heard this, I screamed, trying to kick and shove the dwarf off of me. "YOU BASTARD! How could you?! How could you do to this to me, and my family?! How could you?!" I shrieked. Suddenly, Delmar punched me. "Stop your shrieking woman! Or I will give you a reason to shriek about!" bellowed Delmar. "You'll see, my husband will come and get me, and you will get yours!" I snarled.
"Your husband is going to be the first to die! But first, its time for me to have a little fun, with my future bride!" purred Delmar. Suddenly, Delmar untied me from the tree, and to my shock and horror, he climbed on top of me. "Get off of me, you son of a bitch!" I screamed, and I kicked the dwarf in the groin. Delmar roared, and suddenly he yanked my hair, pushing me down on the ground, climbing on top of me, and ripping off my clothes. "You stay quiet, and let me have my fun! One word out of you, you will get nothing but pain!" snarled Delmar.
No One's POV:
Thorin led Dwalin, Fili and Kili as they already had left Erebor. Now they are entering a forest, and they kept moving. "They got to be close by! I'm sure they didn't go far!" said Thorin. An hour later, Fili, whom was ahead of all of them, called out to them.
"There is a light ahead, like someone has set up camp! I think we may have found them!" Fili called out. Suddenly, they could hear a loud scream. Thorin and the others knew it was Lalina. "Lalina! Oh, Mahal! Lalina!" cried out Thorin, as he charged towards the light, and to his shock and horror, as he peered through the trees, he saw a dwarf on top of Lalina. Thorin made a loud cry, as he leapt out of the trees, sword in hand, as he charged at Delmar, followed by Fili, Dwalin, Kili, and the Royal guard whom attacked Delmar's company.
Delmar stood up and glared at Thorin. "How dare you marry my bride? Do you have any idea she belongs to me?!" hissed Delmar. "SILENCE, TRAITOR!" Thorin bellowed and he aimed Orcrist at Delmar's throat, while Dwalin stepped forward, brandishing his axe. "Delmar Silverstone, I declare you as Traitor, and you will be sentenced to death!" snarled Thorin. "Thorin, he also killed my father." spoke up Lalina. "And let me remind you, Silverstone! Killing a fellow dwarf, especially a dwarf lord is a by means a felon!" snarled Thorin. "Why don't you kill me now, and be done with it!" shouted Delmar.
And then, Thorin swung Orcrist, killing the dwarf, as he fell in front of them. Thorin turned to Dwalin and the Royal Guard.
"Take the rest of the dwarves and lock them up in the dungeons! Tomorrow morning, I will decide on their punishment!" said Thorin. "Yes, Thorin!" said Dwalin with a nod, as Dwalin, the Royal guard, Fili and Kili took the rest of the dwarves back to Erebor to lock them in the dungeons. After they had left, Thorin turned to Lalina, and he knelt before her. "Mizmel, are you okay?" Thorin whispered gently. "Just needed some patching up, I will be fine!" said Lalina, as Thorin helped her up. "Come, lets go on home!" said Thorin, and he led his wife back home.
As soon as they arrived, Thorin sent for Oin to look at Lalina's injuries, and also making sure if the unborn child is also okay. Oin smiled. "Everything looks good, Lalina only has minor injuries, and the child is fine!" said Oin. "Thank Mahal!" sighed Thorin with relief. Thorin and Lalina retired to their room, and climbed into bed together. Thorin took Lalina into his arms, holding her close to his chest. "I'm so glad that is all over!" said Lalina.
"Me too, Lalina! Me too!" said Thorin softly, as he kissed Lalina on the back of her neck, and it didn't take long for the both of them to fall into a deep slumber.
Five years later..
Five years after Lalina given birth to twin sons, Frerin and Thrain II. And in less than a week, the twins will be celebrating a birthday. During that time, the boys had been busy with lessons with Balin, and most of the time, they played either in their room, or the private parlor, while the adults talked. And every night, Thorin will tell them stories, or Lalina. Sometimes, Lady Dis, Fili or Kili, or even Balin. Lalina and Thorin had been busy getting gifts for the twins, and been at the market all day.
So everything went quite as well as planned. The next day, Fili and Kili wanted to take Frerin and Thrain II on an fishing excursion. At first, Thorin was against it, because he worried something would happen to one of the twins, and two neither of them don't know how to swim, and he didn't trust his sons around water. "Please adad! Let us go! Fili and Kili promised they would look after us!" begged Frerin. "I'm sorry, but the answer is no! The two of you haven't learn to swim yet!" said Thorin. "Fili and Kili will teach us!" piped in Thrain.
"Thorin, just let them go! It wouldn't hurt if the boys will be outdoors. Fili and Kili will take good care of them, and you know that." said Lalina. Thorin closed his eyes in defeat.
He realized there was no way he was going to win this argument, as he realized he was outnumbered. "Fine. Fili, Kili, you take good care of them! And if something happens to them, it will be your hide! Do I have myself clear?" said Thorin, firmly. "Yes, Uncle." said Fili and Kili together. "HURRAY!" chirped Frerin and Thrain together. "I'll go and pack some things for them." said Lalina. After packing some stuff for the twins, Fili, Kili and the twins set off.
"I still don't think it's a good idea!" grumbled Thorin. "Relax, Thorin. They're going to fine! You worry too much, you know that?" said Lalina, as she gently massaging Thorin's shoulders. Several hours passed, Lalina sat down, as she wrapped up Frerin and Thrain's birthday gifts, and she could hear Thorin yelling in his study. "I specifically ordered at three layered cake not TWO! Didn't you understand my instructions?!" Thorin yelled at a dwarf.
Lalina shook his head. If he keeps this up, he's going to end up having a heart attack, thought Lalina. Two more dwarves entered the chamber to speak with Thorin, in regards of the decorations and the music. "You should hear how they sound, your Majesty! They've played in pubs for many years, I'm sure you'll like them." said one Dwarf.
"Well meet me in the Great Hall in a couple hours so I can have a listen to them." said Thorin. The Dwarf smiled. "Thank you, Your Majesty. The band is called 'The Stone Masons'. I'm sure they will not disappoint you!" said the Dwarf, and he left. Thorin prayed it would be the last group to talk to him today. Thorin stood up and left the study. "Sounds like you had a busy day!" spoke up Lalina. "Its hard to believe how much work and money spent on these feasts. Those lads are going to break me!" complained Thorin.
"THORIN! This is their birthday-THEIR DAY! How could you complain about the finances? Don't you think its worth it?" said Lalina, sharply. "Of course its worth it!" Thorin shot back. The two sat in silence. "Lalina, I was wondering if you don't mind joining me in the Great Hall later?" asked Thorin. "For what?" said Lalina. "I'm looking at bands to hire to play at the feast, and the first group has put in their time to play for us today to hear if we liked them or not." said Thorin. Lalina smiled. "I would love too." said Lalina.
An hour later, Thorin and Lalina headed towards the Great Hall, and waited for the dwarf band to show up. Dis, Balin and Dwalin soon showed up to join them. Ten minutes after that, the dwarf band arrived. Their leader, Argon Copperbeard, approaches Thorin and Lalina, and smiled.
"My name is Argon Copperbeard, band leader of the "Stonemasons'. I hope you enjoy our music, Your Majesties, and we will be honored to perform at the Princes' birthday Feast." said Argon. "Play for us, if you please." said Thorin. Argon nodded, and he signaled the musicians to pick up their instruments, as Argon picked up his lute, and they begin playing. And unfortunately, the band sounded awful. Each musician wasn't playing different melodies, having a hard time keeping up with their leader, and when Argon started to sing, it made things worse.
He sounded more like he was yelling than he was singing. Lalina and Dis both made faces. Dwalin and Balin covered their ears and looked away. Thorin snarled. Finally Thorin couldn't take it anymore and he stood up. "STOP!" Thorin bellowed. And the band quickly stopped. "You call that music?! That is not music, that is racket! I didn't ask for a band to make noise, I ask for a band to play music! And that is not music! NORVOR!" bellowed Thorin. Thorin's yelling startled Lalina, Dwalin, Balin and Dis.
Dis and Lalina exchanged looks, and Lalina sighed. "He's been like this all morning, yelling and screaming at the dwarves!" Lalina whispered to Lady Dis. Dis looked at her brother in concern.
"The lad needs a break. The demands of being a King, its taking its toll on him." said Balin. "We should ask Fili when he gets back with the boys to take over, while he and Lalina would spent time together with their children." suggested Dwalin. "That's a good suggest, Dwalin. But do you think Fili would be ready for this?" asked Dis. "Fili is ready. What Kili told me of his deeds and Lake Town after Smaug's attack!" said Dwalin. Lalina looked over at Thorin. She could tell Thorin is stressed, and tired.
But there was something more to it than the general stress. He was worried about Frerin and Thrain II going fishing with Fili and Kili, something that he had been against the entire time. Suddenly, a dwarf named Norvor entered the Great Hall. "You summoned me, Your Highness?" said Norvor. "You have disappointment, Norvor. I have told you to find a group of musicians to play for my sons' birthday feast. Instead of musicians, you gave me a bunch of noise makers!" growled Thorin.
"Your Majesty, I apologize for the mistake. These gentle dwarves were meant for pubs only, I will go find you another group of musicians." said Norvor, sheepishly. "YOU BETTER! The Birthday feast is next week! Now get a move on and find me a band!" snapped Thorin. "Thorin, calm down!" spoke up Lalina.
"You stay out of this, Lalina!" bellowed Thorin, and he stormed out of the Great Hall. Lalina slumped back into her chair, burying her face in her hands, as Dis placed her hand on Lalina's shoulder. Dwalin scowled, and he went to follow his friend. As Dwalin walked down the corridor, h he saw Thorin walking towards the treasury. "Shit, no!" snarled Dwalin, as he seen this wasn't a good sign. Dwalin picked up his pace as he continued to follow Thorin.
But by the time he reached to the Treasury, Thorin was also inside and he locked the doors. Dwalin reached to the doors and tried to open them, but the door was locked. "DAMN IT!" bellowed Dwalin, and he ran back to the Great Hall.
