One of you asked;
"Guest chapter 1 . Sep 28

im just wondering is this in the book or are they something you wrote" The book is "The Hobbit" by "J. R. R. Tolkien" and all characters BUT Nazal belong to "J. R. R. Tolkien"

I would say I created Nazal but that would not be completly true, he created himself one night. As for the story Goblin town is in the book, but I changed it, twisted it and added the torture scene etc, Most of it is changed but it all still belongs to J.R.R Tolkien if that makes since? It is a fan altered fiction=). I hope that helps?

Okay I think I have ran my trap long enough, With one more appology, Welcome back to "Son's Of Durin: Goblin Town"

~Previously in GT~

Due to the groan followed by labored breaths , Thorin looked up from his hands to face his nephew. What he saw, took him by surprise. Thorin stood quickly

"Fili! What has happened to you?" he asked, his eyes starting on Fili's face then scan down Fili's body taking in all his wounds. The prince had black eyes, a reset nose, split lip, bruised cheek, blood marks on his neck, and at the start of his tunic there was a deep bruise showing.

Fili shook his head, "That is not important right now, Tell me about Kili!" the prince demanded.

Bofur looked to Thorin, his features full of sorrow, "When the Goblins came to take Kili, Fili fought to protect Kili…" As Bofur spoke Fili dropped his gaze to the ground, ashamed of not being able to protect his younger brother. Bofur finished with "But they outnumbered the lad and beat him within an inch of his life, What you see isn't the worst of it, he has a handful of messed up ribs and a bloody shoulder."

Fili, was not sure what he was expecting to be scolded for, but he waited all the same…maybe it wasn't that he did something wrong in Thorin's eyes, but the fact he felt guilty and wished that someone would punish him for it, for not being able to protect Kili from whatever caused those horrifying screams.

Thorin placed his hand on Fili's shoulder, "Fili, are you alright?" he asked, slowly leaning his head down a bit trying to catch Fili's gaze.

Fili's eyes flickered to Thorin's as he pulled his head up slowly, "I- Thorin I…"

Thorin shook his head, "Don't start with that Fili…" Thorin said, refusing to let Fili blame himself. "I need to know if you are alright…"

Fili's eyes were glassy and red but he nodded his head, "Yes Uncle…I will be fine."

Thorin clasped his hand to Fili's shoulder "Good…now I want you to go rest…I need some time to think" he said, still looking into Fili's blue eyes, "Understood?"

Fili slowly nodded, "Y-yes sir…"

Thorin then looked to Bofur, who gave a nod, and started helping Fili back to the wall.

~Now, in Goblin town… Chapter 12: "The return of a prince.~

Thorin did not know how much time had passed since he had returned to the cells. He was overwhelmed with grief, regret, and guilt. This was his fault entirely and the king knew it too well. Both of his sister's sons were not faring well, one perhaps dead, and the other, suffering in silence, or at least as silent as he could be.

The thought caused Thorin to look across the cell at Fili. He was sleeping, propped up by a pile of coats against the back wall. Bofur was next to him dabbing sweat off of the prince's brow with a piece of cloth that must have been ripped from one of their tunics. This caused Thorin to worry more, it was not hot enough there to remove their coats, much less sweat? So, the question now is, was it from pain or fever? The king then felt his heart sink at the thought as he forced himself to swallow his guilt and stand,

"Balin, have you looked at Fili?" he asked the elder Dwarf, knowing that Oin could not get close enough to examine his nephew.

Balin shook his head, "I'm afraid not lad, at the time he was too hurt to move, Bofur looked him over and did the best he could."

Bofur looked toward the King, "Thorin…I am no healer, we have no way to clean it, so…we have been trying to keep it covered until we can…" the toymaker said, his tone full of sorrow as he added, "I-I fear he is getting worse" Bofur said looking to Fili, as the prince flinched in his sleep, his expression never calming through his slumber, it was obvious that the prince had never rested.

Thorin let out a sigh, his fears confirmed, "I… need to see it, I need to see his wound."

Bofur cringed at the thought but gave a slow nod, "you can only see so much of it through the shirt…" he warned.

Thorin took a deep breath, worried about what he may find. He moved the makeshift bandage made from the tunic, so that he could see the wound. Fili groaned but did not wake. With his uncle back he was able to sleep deeper than he had been able to before, able to step down from the role of authority and let his mind rest, what little it could. Moving the ripped tunic more so that he could see the wound, Thorin let out a defeated breath as his heart sank into his stomach.

Bofur, must have seen the kings worried expression for he asked, "Is it...?"

"It…it has given way to infection" the king said, with a heavy heart.

It was bad enough that Kili was tortured and the king had no idea where he was now or what they were doing to him, but to add to Thorin's full plate he had returned to find that Fili had been severely beaten as well and his nephew's wound had given into infection. There was not much that the king could do other than return the bandage to Fili's chest and pray that they find a way to clean it properly.

Bofur asked the question that they knew the answer to, though they all wished for a different answer, or that they were wrong, "What, are we going to do?"

The king pushed himself to his feet, letting out a sigh "Unless you have found a way out of these cells Bofur, I fear there is little we can do." The king told the toy maker defeated, as he walked over to sit against the back of the cell.

All of the sudden Thorin could once again hear the sound of Goblins chants. The once stoic king, now crumbling on the inside stood, as he thought of the pain, torture and anguish that his boys had gone through. Thorin placed a hand on the ground pushing himself up to stand, then walking to the edge of the cell to see why the scum had returned. He could hear one Goblin shouting at the others,

"I think I can handle some pathetic dwarves! Go help Father!"

Thorin recognized the voice, it was Nazal. The very thought of the mix breed made his blood boil yet there was a pain in his chest that killed some of the fire, it was the memories of how he last saw Kili, beaten, broken, branded and half drowned, and it was all Thorins fault, or so he believed. If he had only left the boys at home, if he had only told them no, if he had not promised their mother that he would protect them…If he had not been their uncle, then the boys….both Kili and Fili would still be okay…still alive and strong…But a king could not think like this. He had done this, and his nephews were paying the price for it, but sitting in self-pity would not help them.

As Nazal emerged from the shadows, Thorin could see a body in the beast's arms and despite what he had seen, a small glimmer of hope sparked in his soul for a moment.

"Kili!" Thorin shouted, as he grabbed at the bars in the front of the cell yelling again "Kili! Can you hear me?!"

Thorin could hear Nazal speak as the beast approached the cells. "Do not yell." the mix breed asked, but to Thorin's ears it sounded more like an order. The tall mix stood only twenty feet from the cell.

Thorin glared hatefully at the creature and with a venomous hiss, spat out "Do not tell me what to do Goblin scum!" before he finished with, "Now give us Kili back!"

"Step back or I will Not return…" Nazel seemed to be thinking for a moment, before saying "…Kee-lee" he spoke softly, as he brushed some hair out of Kili's face with one

finger, being gentle with the body he cradled to his chest with one arm.

Thorin was sure that his heart stopped at the hybrid's instructions. He did not like it holding his dear nephew nor did he like taking orders from it, however he swallowed his pride and took three steps backwards, refusing to look away from Kili's limp body.

Had Fili known he was dreaming, this would have made more since to the prince, but unfortunately he did not,

Fili sat on his bed in his and his brother's room, across from him his little brother was sleeping soundly in his own bed. Fili had sat there peacefully watching him for a while now, wondering if it was odd that he was doing so. He did not understand why, but he had a deep need to see his brother, a deep need to know that Kili was alright, to know that he was alive, well, and healthy. The whole time that the blond prince sat watching Kili sleep, he had a burning pain in his shoulder that never let up. Turning to look at his shoulder the prince saw something yellow leaking out of a shoulder wound, but where did the wound come from, he wondered. At first it had frightened him, but then he looked back to his peacefully sleeping brother and despite the pain, all in the world was well again. He let out a breath thankful for such and wondered why he was feeling this way. Fili closed his eyes for a moment then lay back, and a sweet darkness took him.

There was darkness at first, and then far into the distance he could hear his brother's name being shouted. Fili let out a groan, "You're going to wake him..." he whispered as he opened his eyes, seeing that Kili was laying on the bed still…but now covered in blood?

Fili went into a panic, his eyes widening, his breath speeding and frantically looking from side to side for the danger that did this, but no one was to be seen. As soon as Fili's eyes returned to Kili he was gone, like fading smoke. "Kili!" he heard again, but the voice was a little closer now. He smelt the horrible smell of stagnant water and moss and then the room around him turned to stone and he saw Kili being drug out of a door by Goblins and he was calling for his brother. Then all the memories rushed back as Fili's eyes snapped open and reality returned to him all at once, all his pain and memories, he let out a small cry that Bofur must have heard for the toy maker was at Fili's side in only moments of the sound. Fili, trying to push himself up, felt Bofur's steady hands grab his arm and start to help him rise.

"Are you alright lad?" he heard the toymaker ask.

The eldest heir was far from alright but he responded with an unsteady, "Y-yeah…what is going on?" he brought a hand to the side of his head, the pain from being beaten not letting him forget it.

"A big goblin is bringing Kili back…" the toymaker answered, as he helped Fili to his feet.

The golden haired prince felt a ray of hope was over him as he heard the news that Kili was returning, so he tried to rush to the cell wall to see for himself but nearly fell within the first two steps. If it had not been for Bofur catching him, he would had hit the stone ground.

"Easy lad!" he heard his friend scold him but he didn't care. Fili steadied himself then patted Bofur's shoulder "I'm better now…" the elder brother said before adding in a whisper. "I...don't want him to see me requiring help." flashing Bofur a smile, the first smile since his brother had been taken, the golden haired prince then walked with a limp toward Thorin.

As his eyes started to adjust to the darkness once more, he saw through the bars the large Goblin mix standing tall. Fili's eyes narrowed at the beast, he was about to comment when his voice was stopped as his eyes trailed down the beast's body, seeing Kili laying in its arms…His brother was shirtless, his hair covering his face, blood covering the beasts arm and the prince could see purple, blue, black and yellow all over his brothers body and the lacerations nearly made the prince sick to his stomach. What had happened to his Kili? What horror!?

The sight had the same effect as if someone would have hit Fili in the face with an iron skillet. He couldn't breathe, the air catching in his chest. His eyes went wide as the panic took over his entire body, "He…is he?..." was all he could choke out, still unable to bring in a complete breath.

"I'm not sure…" Thorin admitted, as he watched Nazal come closer.

The beast then looked to Fili who had joined Thorin, it was obvious that the golden haired Dwarf was wounded, but Nazal could not risk them trying anything…he did not want to have to hurt any of them more so the beast stopped moving.

"Light Dwarf, Hated Dwarf, both of you go to the back…I will only then give 'Kee-lee, to Thorin." his eyes shot to each of the dwarves studying them, he was trying to find if he had said the Dwarfs name right or not, he had heard Thorin yell Kili's name a few times, but when shouted it sounded like you drug out the name.

Fili took a step closer, "NO! I-I will not step back! I want my brother back, G-give him back!" he had shouted, letting his age get the better of him.

Hearing the outburst, Nazal took a step back. "Then we wait until you sleep." the mix said and started to lower himself to sit, but Thorin spared no time to correct this and barked out,

"Fili! Do it!" he growled in a loud, unmistakably angry voice. "I did not raise you to act a fool! Go to the back!"

The king sounded as if he hated the blond at that moment…Thorin had not realized how harsh his tone was through his worry for his youngest, only he knew the degree of torture that Kili had been through. Fili winched hard as if taking a physical hit from his uncle, but he obeyed and with Bofur's help the prince moved to the back of the cell.

Nazal then stepped forward again and used his free hand that he had used to pet Kili, to grab the keys from the hook and reach forward, unlocking the cell. Thorin did not move, not wanting to make the mix breed change his mind. The king was quiet and simply kept an icy stare on the mix. Nazal stepped inside the cell and taking better hold of Kili he handed him out to Thorin, taking special care not to move him in any way that would cause him pain. As soon as the prince's uncle had hold of him, Nazal took a step back grabbing the door and backed out without ever turning his back on them. The mix then locked the door and walked over to the rock with the hook where he hung the keys, turning to look to the Dwarves again.

Fili stood at the back wall, being supported heavily by Bofur. The prince was more than upset by Thorin yelling at him, it would have most likely hurt Fili, if it had not been for his worry for his brother, he could see Kili being passed to his uncle, and not moving in the least, his body limp. Fili's heart fell and he slowly started to move forward again as the gate locked

"T-Thorin…is he...?" but to the prince's dismay, Thorin did not answer. He did not look to him…nor did he give any hint to have heard him at all.

Thorin's gaze was cast down on Kili, the king looked physically sick as he stared down at his nephew. Fili moved closer, and if not for Bofur's help yet again, the prince would have fallen hard.
