Chapter 44 – Our Story

Daisy sat at a desk scribbling rapidly onto a piece of paper...it had been twenty one years since the kidnapping and the kids had done really well at settling in again. All of them were now young adults by human standards...Thorin had rebuilt his council and only had members of the company on it. The woman sat back and took a swig of chamomile, then she bent over the page and started to write again. Nori went over to his adopted daughter.

"What are you doing Petal?"

"Writing."

"I can see that...but what?"

"That's for me to know and you to find out."

The thief laughed and kissed her cheek. Anne burst into the room, her arms filled with papers.

"Got them! Oh hi Nori..."

Nori chuckled.

"Need a hand Anne?"

"No no...I'll manage."

She dumped them on a chair and went to get herself a drink. The brunette came through sipping a glass of water.

"Oh Nori...Ny and Ty want to see you for lockpicking tips!"

"Well duty calls...see you later Pet."

He ruffled Daisy's hair and went to the door. The blonde didn't look up.

"Please don't teach them anything of use...the last trick you taught them saw Dwalin's beard go blue for a month!"

"Oh I promise I will!"

Anne laughed and then pulled a chair next to Daisy's.

"How is it coming?"

"Well I'm nearly done my side of everything..."

"I have all my stuff here...where's Darin?"

"Oh he's probably at the library...caught up in one of his books again...you know how he loves his adventure books."

"Mhm you realize that he'll be out of this mountain by the time he turns of age."

Daisy laughed and took another sip of tea.

"I know...but hopefully he'll come home often enough to visit his old mother."

"You're not old Days."

"Hahaha...I feel it I'm 119...that's old enough."

"So am I yet I feel young as ever."

Daisy laughed and then broke off coughing. Anne frowned a little and patted her friend's back. Daisy did seem greyer, her eyes looked tired and weary, compared to Anne who still had a young, vibrant look about her...

"You ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine...just a tickly throat...Now let's get this finished!"

...

Darin walked into the common room to find his Granduncle snoozing and Frerin in a corner drawing. He smiled and scratched his blonde stubble, before going and sitting next to the white-haired dwarf. Thorin jumped awake.

"Oh hello there Darin."

"Hi Uncle Thorin."

"Hi Frer."

"Hey Darin."

The young dwarf opened his book and began to read. Thorin chuckled and then leant back on the sofa and fell asleep again. The door creaked open again and this time it was Idona accompanied by a greying Dis. The dwarrowdam chuckled at the sight of her brother.

"Bless him...Hello dears."

"Hi Nana."

"Hi Gran"

Darin kissed her cheek and smiled warmly at his cousin, Frerin waved and grinned at his older sibling. Suddenly Kili came into the room, twisting the ears of Nyli and Tyli.

"Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow! Dad dad...c'mon that hurts!"

"Yeah ow ow we weren't actually ow ow Dad we weren't going to shave Dwalin's hair! Ow ow!"

Kili skelped them round the back of the head and the twins grinned deviously. Thorin was once again snoring quietly.

"Aye and you expect me to believe that?"

"He's right Ty we're getting sloppy with our pranks!"

"Very true Ny we need to perfect our techniques!"

"So true!"

The pair laughed before joining their relatives round the fire. Tyli plonked down next to Darin and ruffled his little brother's hair. Darin growled and swatted his hand away.

"Ty dinnae!"

"Aw but why?"

"Cause!"

"Why?"

Idona laughed and shook her head.

"Are you sure you're 35 Ty?"

Nyli sat down a little way from her and winked.

"Positive Idie!"

She blushed and looked down, Ny too averted his hazel gaze whilst his twin smirked. Frerin chuckled and continued to draw, just as Fili walked into the room. Thorin jumped awake again and Dis laughed.

"Well be thankful that Dwalin isn't going to kill you...I managed to calm him down."

"Thanks Uncle Fili!"

"Cheers!"

Fili kissed the top of Dis' head and looked around.

"So does anyone have any idea why Daisy and Anne have got us all together?"

"Nope."

"Nah."

"Nuh uh."

"No way!"

The crown prince sighed. He looked to his son.

"Great...Frerin when you get married be sure to find someone not as devious as your mother!"

"Sure thing Father."

Then Anne came into the room followed by her friend.

"Hello everyone!"

Fili went up to her and kissed her gently. Daisy chuckled and waved her hand before sitting herself on the floor by the fire. Kili smiled gently to his wife and returned it warmly. Dis grinned and leaned forward.

"So what is this secret thing you've called us for?"

Anne leaned her head on Fili's shoulder. Her friend pulled something from behind her back, it was a large, black leather bound book. Tyli and Nyli both leaned forward eagerly.

"What's that?"

"It's a book."

"Well obviously it's a book Dari!"

"Boys if you will be quiet then your Aunt and Mother will explain."

Thorin chuckled and scratched his white beard. The blonde woman tucked her hair behind her ear and cleared her throat.

"Well as you all know me and Anne originally came from another world..."

She looked to Anne. Her friend continued.

"And we haven't been able to remember what it was like there...until recently."

"So we decided that we'd write down everything we remember from our world in this book...I know that Darin was wondering what a skyscraper was..."

The blonde boy beamed.

"You mean you've remembered what it is?"

They nodded. Daisy patted the book.

"Also in this book is all that happened on our journey...we have mine and Kili's side as well as what happened to the company."

Dis laughed lightly.

"Girls that is genius..."

Anne nodded.

"Thanks...we've also left some pages blank so that you lot...and I mean the young people can fill in what happens to them after we've gone."

"Yes because this book..."

Daisy patted the black leather.

"Is our story."
