Before anyone had any chance to get ready, the goblins were on them, in groups of 20s and 30s. Verya struggled to keep her hold on Kili and fight away the nasty things that were touching her. On in particular was getting a little to high up for Kili, and he kicked the thing away.
"Don't touch her!" He yelled, pulling Verya tighter to him.
Soon they were all pushed along, forming a line struggling against the goblins until they were in this big area and in the center sat the ugliest goblin Verya had ever seen. It was huge with two little beady eyes that rolled around his head without command and a huge neck that looked full of something completely gross. Verya shuddered just looking at him and had to force her lunch back down. The goblins all snickered and continued to push and touch the company, proud that they had captured something so easily. The continued to push them forward until they were close to the Goblin King it looked like. Verya also noticed that they were singing a scary and very gross song, not being able to harmonize very well made it ten times worse.
"Who would be so bold as to come armed into my kingdom?!" The goblin king roared, looking at them with his beady eyes.
"Thieves? Assassins? Spies?!" He continued to bellow, glowering at the company.
"Dwarves your malevolence. And a pretty she-efl" A puny goblin bowed to his king.
"Dwarves? Well don't just stand there! Search them! Every crack, Every crevice! And bring me the elf!" He cried with a glare upon his face. The goblins swarmed the company yet again, picking and poking them all, and about five grabbed hold of Verya and yanked her forward and away from Kili, who made a loud protest. Verya was pulled away from the dwarves and pulled to stand right in front of the Goblin King. He leaned down and sneered at her.
"What a lovely little elf. I'm sure I could get a pretty price for you." He mocked with a sneer, making Verya shudder but look back at him in the eyes to show she wasn't afraid.
"What are you doing in these parts?" The goblin king demanded. "Speak!"
As Verya expected, no one made a sound, and she stood with a glare facing the Goblin King. She had a new found courage in her and she was determined to keep them safe. The Goblin King sneered then laughed an awful laugh.
"Very well then! If they wont talk, we will make them squack!" He yelled making all the other goblins cheer.
"Bring out the mangler! Bring up the bone-breaker! And" He said, pointing right at Verya.
"Start with the girl" He sneered. Verya gasped and looked back at the company. She could hear them all screaming protests but she could hear Kili and Fili the most. She tried to make them calm down, mouthing at them 'it will be okay' and then turned with determination to face the King again. She looked past him and saw a huge contraption making its way towards them. She gasped and looked away as she started to fill with fear.
"Thorin please!" She heard Kili yell and she felt relieved. Maybe Thorin would help her.
"Wait!" She heard him yell and she let out a sigh of relief. She turned and saw Thorin step out from the group.
"Well, well, well. I know someone who would pay a good price for your head" The Goblin King sneered.
"Just a head, nothing attached" He laughed with a glare.
"Perhaps you know of whom I speak. An old enemy of yours? A Pale orc astride a white warg!" He laughed an evil laugh. Verya sucked in a breath, she thought that he was dead. She turned to the group again and saw they thought the same thing.
"Azog the Defiler was destroyed. He was slain in battle long ago!" Thorin yelled with almost a smug look on his face. The Goblin King laughed again.
"So, you think his defiling days are over?" He bellowed with a smug smile. He turned to a small goblin and yelled at it.
"Send word to the Pale Orc. Tell him I have found not one, but two prizes for him!" The small goblin scribbled it down the sped away on a zipline contraption. The goblins began their song again.
Bones will be shattered; Necks will be rung.
You'll be beaten and battered. From racks you'll be hung.
You will die down here and never be found!
Down in the deep of Goblin Town!
Verya shuddered again and cringed. Their song wasn't exactly the nicest thing she had heard. She looked away and noticed a goblin examine Thorin's sword. He pulled out the blade and screamed, droppping the sword and hopping away. The Goblin King flared back and landed on his throne in a panic.
"I know that sword! It's the Goblin Cleaver! Kill them! Kill them all!" He screeched at his minions. Four goblins threw Verya too the ground with a thump. She yelled out in pain and started to stand. One held her down with a rusty knife to her throat. He sneered at her.
"Pity, such a waste of a pretty face" Verya kicked up, knocking the goblin off of her. She pulled out a long dagger from her boot and stabbed the goblin in the head. She quickly took out the other three and looked for her bow and quiver. When she caught sight of them, she ran over picking them up and taking out two more goblins.
She noticed Kili having some trouble, only defending himself with a long piece of wood. She grabbed his sword and faced him again.
"Kili!" She yelled throwing him his sword. He caught it at the hilt and smiled in thanks, taking out the rest of his opponents. She worked her way back into the group and was pressed back to back with someone. It was Fili. She smiled at him and continued to attack the goblins. A goblin caught her hair and pulled her to the ground with an evil smirk. Just before his knife hit her throat, he was thrown aside by a huge blinding white light.
"Take up arms!" A familiar voice commanded. Verya blinked looking around for her bow. She grabbed it and shot a goblin in the eye.
"Fight! Fight!" He yelled again, making everyone jump to their feet and pick up their weapons. Verya slid in beside Kili and started fighting off goblins. She glanced back and saw Thorin hit the Goblin King with his sword, making it fall over the edge. She cheered and continued to get goblins with arrows.
"Follow me!" Gandalf yelled, running away, making everyone follow him. He lead them through the tunnels, heading upwards as millions of goblins tailed them. The company ran through the tunnels and killed every goblin in their way.
Verya say a streak of gold run past her. Fili. She grabbed him and yelled over the goblins.
"Kili? Where is he?" She yelled desperately looking around. Filis eyes grew wide and he too looked around desperately. She couldn't see him and started to panic. She almost stopped if it weren't for Fili puling her forward. She decided shed find him after, promising herself that he was fine and wasn't dead somewhere. Someone grabbed a ladder and used it as a bridge, everyone but Verya crossing. She couldn't see anything.
"Fili! She's afraid of heights!" She heard Ori yell nut didn't move. She didn't move when she felt strong arms wrap around her and pull her across. She lookd up at Fili, her cheeks crimson.
"Thanks" She whispered and kicked the bridge away. She turned and felt a familiar hand in hers. She pulled him into a hug.
"Kili! I thought I lost you!" She yelled and planted a quick kis on his lips. He smiled and then pulled her forward. The contined up the passage and were almost out when out of no where the Goblin King burst through the floor and almost squashed Gandalf.
"You thought you could defeat me! What are you going to do wizard!" He yelled weilding his staff. Gandalf stepped up and poked him in the eye with his staff. Then he cut across the goblins stomach.
"That'll do it" He said and Gandalf cut across his neck, making him fall back dead. Just when they looked to be okay, the bridge under there feet gave way and went tumbling down through the town. They landed in a huge pile of wood and limbs. Verya climbed out and tried to pull Kili out, but he was busy staring up at something.
"Gandalf!" He yelled pulling himself out. She looked up to see millions of goblins coming towards them. She screamed and looked to Gandalf for help. He yelled run, and that's what they did.
