Chapter 19
Free and Prisoners
I woke up covered in spider webs, but that's not woken me up. Cutting of the webs was coming and I was falling. I landed on my back. The webbing was getting torn away.
"Mariah." Thorin said, as his face appeared and pulled me into a kiss.
"Stacia? Anna?" I ask.
"Right here." Stacia said, running over and Thorin picked her up.
"You okay?" I ask.
"She was hiding so the spiders didn't get attacked." Fili said, coming over with Anna.
"Where's Bilbo?" Bofur asked.
"BILBO!" We yell.
"I'm up here!" Bilbo said. I heard a fall and knew a spider knocked Bilbo out of the tree. I screamed as spiders surround us. Thorin handed Stacia over to me and stood in front of me to protect me. He knew I was terrified of spiders. Stacia was the same way. She burried her face in my neck. Bombur got knocked to the ground and it stands over him.
"Grab a leg!" Thorin yelled. Dwarves grab the legs.
"PULL!" Dwalin yelled. The dwarves pull and all the spider's legs get pulled off. The body falls and lands on Bombur. Thorin comes back to me. I think I was pale as paper, because he pulled me against him.
"Your well protected." Thorin said. Kili's cry came and we turn to see Kili getting pulled by a spider.
"Kili!" Fili and Anna yelled. Spiders kept coming and coming. A blonde dwarf that I knew right away was Legolas jump onto the spider and kill it. He slides on the floor of the forest, pointing an arrow right at Thorin, who pushed me behind him. Other elves appear, pointing arrows at all of us.
"Do not think I won't kill you, dwarf. It would be my pleasure." Legolas said. Thorin didn't look happy as we looked at the Elves. Stacia clung to me tighter.
"HELP!" Kili yelled.
"Kili!" Fili yelled. The dwarves had me and Stacia well protected where I couldn't see what was happening but knew that Tauriel was going to rescue Kili. Tauriel lead Kili over to us and pushed him to join us.
"Two human girls and a child. I take it you kidnapped them." Legolas said.
"We came at our free will." I said. Stacia looked at Legolas with wide eyes.
"Liars as well. Search them. Tauriel. You search the girls." Legolas said. Anna and I handed over our weapons. Tauriel goes to Stacia, but she hid behind me.
"She doesn't have any." I growl.
"Alright. Alright." Tauriel said. I picked up Stacia and held her close to me.
"Your daughter?" Tauriel asked.
"And mine." Thorin said. I nodded. Tauriel eyed Thorin. Not sure whether to believe him or not, but kept her mouth shut.
"Hey! Give it back! That's private!" Gloin said. Stacia turned her head and I looked as Legolas pulled out a picture frame.
"Who is this? Your brother?" Legolas asked.
"That is my wife!" Gloin said. Gloin was not happy. Anna was standing next to Fili.
"And what is this horrid creäture? A goblin mutant?" Legolas asked.
"That is my wee lad Gimli." Gloin said. Legolas handed it back to him and then took Thorin's sword. He said something in elvish as Thorin stood close to me.
"Where did you get this?" Legolas asked.
"It was given to me." Thorin said. Legolas points the sword right at Thorin.
"Not just a thief, but a liar as well." Legolas said.
"Elrond gave it to him. Its his." I said.
"Attitude on this girl." Legolas said. He said something again in elvish and the elves start to lead us away. Bofur turns to Thorin.
"Thorin, where's Bilbo?" Bofur asked. Thorin and I looked around and didn't see him. I was shoved and I caught myself without dropping Stacia. Thorin shot the elf a glare. We were lead across a bridge and into a place. We walked along wooden walkways. Thorin gets pulled away from me.
"Thorin." I said, reaching for him. He reaches back, but we were pulled apart.
"Daddy!" Stacia yelled. Thorin glanced at us and then got pulled away. We were lead into the dungeons. I was shoved with Stacia into one cell. Others were getting shoved into cells.
"This is not the end of it! You hear me?" Dwalin said. Stacia burried her face in my neck as I slid to the floor with her in my arms. Anna was shoved into a cell with Fili.
"Let us out of here!" Gloin said.
"Get off me!" Dori said.
"Aren't you going to search me? I could have anything down my trousers." Kili said. I shot Kili a glare.
"Or nothing." Tauriel said, slamming his cell door shut and I saw Kili smiling a little. Legolas and Tauriel talk in elvish as I run a hand down Stacia's back to calm her down. Dwalin, Bofur, Fili, and Ori start throwing themselves against the cell doors.
"Leave it! There's no way out. This is no Orc dungeon, these are the halls of the Woodland Realm. No one leaves here but by the King's consent." Balin said. I groan as I lean my head against the wall as Stacia whimpered in my arms.
Half an hour later. Thorin is lead down the stairs towards the cells and thrown into a cell across from Stacia's and my cell. Thorin came to the bars and looked across to where I was looking at him. He had the look of relief on his face.
"Did he offer you a deal?" Balin asked.
"He did. I told him he could go Ish kakhfe ai'd dur rugnu! Him and all his kin." Thorin said. Balin closes his eyes and sighs in frustration.
"Well that's it, then. A deal was our only hope." Balin said.
"Not our only hope. Stacia ok?" Thorin asked, hearing the whimpering.
"She's just scared." I said. Stacia curled closer in my arms. Thorin slid down to the floor, but enough for us to see each other. I saw Anna curling up to Fili, who had his arms wrapped around her. I envied her and wished I could be in Thorin's and holding our daughter at the same time.
"Mommy. Can you sing a song to help me sleep?" Stacia asked. I smiled seeing that she finally calmed down.
"What song would you like to hear?" I ask.
"Roar." Stacia said. I smiled because it was my favorite song along with Stacia's and Anna's. (AN: Roar by Katy Perry is the song)
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
You held me down, but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready 'cause I had enough
I see it all, I see now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're going to hear me roar!
Anna had joined me at the chorus and stuff. This song fit my life with my ex boyfriend and how I was now changing being in Middle Earth. I had no regrets. Everyone was listening to the song
Now, I'm floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero
You held me down, but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're going to hear me roar!
Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar!
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me Roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar!
I looked down and saw that Stacia was fast asleep in my arms. I kissed her forehead.
"It fits you." Thorin said.
"I know. She's asleep." I said.
"The lass is exhausted. Let her sleep." Bofur said. I nodded and laid her down. I curled my body around her and fell asleep with her listening to Thorin talk to Balin.
AN: There you go. Sorry it took awhile to update. Hope you liked.
