Chapter 8 Cilla P.O.V
As we traveled for the next few days, Kili has become more and more agitating because he's trying to get closer to me. It's like he doesn't give up! It's like that song in Disney Hercules, I won't say I'm in love. Not that I'm saying that I'm in love, but the other lyrics. I just don't know how get Kili to leave me alone.
As I was thinking, I didn't notice Kili sneaking up behind me, but I definitely noticed when I felt his arms come out from behind me. As I felt them, I jumped like 10 ft in the air.
"What's got you so deep in thought that I could sneak up on you?" he asked with amusement and some other emotion that I can't place.
I glared at him as I pulled out of his arms. "None of your business, that's what." I stated as I walked off. Good grief, why won't he just leave me alone.
Kili P.O.V
I sighed as Cilla walked off. Why won't she just let me in? Is it because of this Tauriel person? If so, what's so great about her? I know for a fact that no one could ever compare to my Cilla!
"She's afraid." I jumped when I heard a voice.
When I turned around, I saw Quintana, Cilla's twin. I frowned in confusion.
"What could she be afraid of?" I questioned.
"You."
I stood there in shock. "What? Why me?" Everyone gathered around when she started explaining while looking at Cilla.
"When we were younger, she met this guy. He was, to her, perfect. He was strong, tall, dark and handsome. He was 'protective' of her, but really, he was possessive of her. When he said he loved her, she believed him, and she thought she loved him as well, but she didn't. He knew he had her in his net when she told him this, and we tried to tell her, but she wouldn't listen. He played with her emotions, made her feel wanted and loved, until…" she trailed off, tears gathering in her eyes.
I spoke up, my voice filled with anger at the man who dared to hurt my Cilla, "Until what?"
Quin looked at me with sadness and pain in her eyes, "Until he started abusing her." all of us dwarves gasped. For someone to dare to hurt a dwarrowdam was punished by death! "It started with small things, like calling her fat. Truth is, she was a little fluffy, but that was because she would stuff herself after practice. She started watching what she would eat and what she would drink. After a few weeks, she started looking anorexic because she would hardly ever eat. Maybe once a day. Everyone at the orphanage tried telling her what was going on, but she wouldn't listen. She truly believed all of this. After about a month, he started hitting her. When this happened she drew the line. She tried getting out of the relationship, but no matter where she would go, he would always find. her. Finally, when she had no choice, she full on fought him. She was weaker than she originally was because she didn't hardly eat anymore, but she still beat him."
We waited for three minutes for her to continue, but she didn't, so I had to ask, "What happened after that?"
"That asshole was in a coma for years after that, then one day he woke up and didn't remember anything." We all looked at Cilla as she spoke, and we all looked at her with sadness. She glared at us, and went to her sleeping roll.
Before she got there I stood up and said "I would never hurt you like that Cilla." she looked at me, filled with so much doubt, but I'm determined to convince her. "Amralime!" her eyes widened as I said this, and quickly turned away and got on her bed roll, which was up against a rock so that she could take watch. I will not give up on her, not now, not ever.
Cilla P.O.V
I waited until everyone was asleep before I got up. I quickly and quietly got Baby ready, packing my bag and saddling her. As I got on her, I looked back. When my eyes landed on Kili, my heart filled with pain. I've realized within the past few hours that I do indeed love him, and I just can't have that. I can't let myself fall for him because if I do, I'll get hurt. I don't think I would be able to survive this one. Everyone knows that he'll pick that stupid elleth Tauriel, and if I fall for him when that happens, I would break. Besides, everyone I care for ends up getting hurt somehow, someway. I don't want him to get hurt because of me.
When I got far enough away, I looked back, grabbed the rock that I had picked up, and threw it hard enough that everyone would wake up, and took off running. Just before I got to far away, I heard two agonized screams, and I just knew that it was Kili and Blackie. I heart clenched when I heard it, but I couldn't turn back now, I had two Orcs to hunt. Orcs that could be the cause of my family's destruction.
Hey guys. Sorry It's been awhile, been busy trying to keep up with school work. Been thinking about starting a SUPERNATURAL story, but that's up to you. I'll put up a poll and you can vote yes or no.
Peace Out,
