Sorry for the short chapter, but I was tired and kind of had a bit or writers block. I wasn't sure how i wanted to do this part in the story so it took a bit longer than usual. Please Read and Review and Enjoy :)
The rest of the company showed up and a collective sigh of relief was heard. They were all hopping the two would make up. Fili walked over and clapped his brother on the shoulder.
"Good job brother, Vey you alright?" He smiled at her and she nodded, smiling in return, then turned and walked with Bilbo. They left Rivendel and began their quest, heading for the mountains in hopes of making it through to be one step closer to Erebor. As they made it to the mountain pass, the rain started to come down, hard and never ending. Verya could only hope that the weather would become better as they started their trek up the mountain. Somewhere along she had managed to squeeze between Kili and Fili, making her feel protected as they both radiated protectiveness for her. She smiled at the thought. But as the thunder grew louder and the rain harder, she sensed something was wrong. She glanced around nervously.
"We need to find shelter!" Thorin yelled over the thunder. They all agreed and hurried along. The rain came down and all of a sudden rocks were flying everywhere. Hitting the mountain above them, making the company turn to see the mountains come to life.
"Well bless me! The legends are true! Giants! Stone Giants!" Bofur yelled sounding terrified and looking at the crudely shaped humans made of stone. Three stone giants were all fighting, throwing chunks of rock and attacking one-another. Verya started to freak out and grabbed both Kili and Fili's hands for comfort.
"Take cover!" Thorin yelled as a he stone chunk headed towards them. Verya slammed against the wall, with Kili's body pressed against hers, shielding her from danger. Verya made a very wrong decision and looked down, whimpering when she saw how high up they were and hiding her face in Kili's shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'm here" Kili said, gripping her tighter. She started to feel a bit more relaxed when a crack was heard under their feet. It split between her and Kili and she started to freak out and reach for him, as the mountain came to life. Fili held her back.
"No! Fili! Verya!" Kili yelled desperately trying to reach for them. The stone giant was up, fighting the others and veering close to the mountain. As it got close most of the dwarves on the other leg jumped to safety. Kili was still yelling for Verya and Fili, who were wrapped up in an embrace.
"Fili, if this is the end, I'm glad I met you. I couldn't have wished for a better friend" Verya whispered. Fili nodded and pulled her tighter to him as the stone giants leg speeded towards the mountain. Kili and Thorin cried out at the same time, as the leg Verya and Fili were on slammed into the mountain. Kili let out a strangled sob. Then he heard her voice.
"Kili!" Verya cried and got up, looking for him. She pulled Fili up as well. Kili ran past Thorin and pulled Verya to him. He was shaking so bad, it almost made Verya cry,
"I thought I lost you" He whispered to her. All of a sudden she sprang away from him.
"Bilbo! Where is he?!" She yelled spinning around. She relaxed as she saw Dwalin pulling him and Thorin up off the cliff.
"We thought we lost our burglar!" Nori spoke, relief filling his voice.
"He's been lost since he left home! He should never have come! He has no place among us" Thorin spat out, turning away with a glare.
"Thorin sir, we found a cave over here" Ori spoke softly, making Verya smile. He truly was adorable. The company moved to the cave and Thorin barked at Fili to check the cave. When he reported back saying it was empty everyone cheered and went in, setting up bedrolls and their things. Thorin ordered Bofur to keep first watch.
"Lets get a fire going!" Gloin said, happily clapping his hands together in anticipation.
"No fires. Get some sleep. We leave at first light." He spoke then walked away to think.
Verya walked to one end of the cave and set her bedroll down, sitting on top of it after. Someone came and set up behind her and she knew who it was before she even turned. Kili ahd set up their mats to be touching, so it looked almost like one whole bed. She smiled and laid down facing him. He got down too, wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her close to him. She smiled and soon they were both asleep. Fili walked back over to them and set his things to the side beside them and smiled, thinking about how happy his brother looked. Maybe one day he'd feel it too. He laid down and was soon asleep too, snoring softly, his weapons in reach in case of emergency.
Verya felt like she had only slept a minute when she was pulled awake by whispereing. She sat up and walked over to where it was coming from. She saw the hobbit talking to Bofur on watch and neither looked happy. She couldn't hear what they were saying, but it wasn't good. She decided to go back to sleep and headed back over to Kili. She had just sat down when she head Thorin jump up.
"Wake up! Wake up!" He bellowed but it was too late. Verya had seen the floor slip a second too late. She grabbed onto Kili as they tumbled down deep into the mountain, landing in a pile inside some kind of iron claw basket. That's when they heard the screeching sound and Thorin sit up.
"What is that?" Verya whimpered, holding on to Kili, who was now fully awake and ready to protect her.
"Goblins" He hissed.
