Chapter 11 Cilla P.O.V

I woke up in the morning with a smile on my face, remembering the night before. I got out of bed, stretched, and got dressed. My clothes consisted of a long sleeved elven tunic, elven pants, elven boots, and a hair tie for my hair if needed. I chuckled, knowing that the company would most definitely not like this. I put on all of my weapons {I'm not going to tell you where, you might tell someone 'important' ;)}, brushed my hair before putting it in a fishtail braid, and left the room.

As I was walking down the corridor, I bumped into a hard chest, causing me to fall down. I looked up with annoyance on my face and locked on Elladan and Elrohirs faces. I rolled my eyes as they smirked before I got up.

"Well look what we have here brother," Elrohir spoke, " a wee dwarrowdam."

"Yes, it seems so brother, but where is she headed do you think? And without her dwarf following her."

I glared at them, annoyed already. "Shut your freakin' pie holes already. I'm headed down to train, and you two know that they will try to stop me."

They frowned in worry before glancing at each other and Elladan spoke.

"Well, you will need someone to train with. I offer my brother's and I's humble assistance."

I rolled my eyes as they swept into a bow and pushed past them to go to the training field, where I spent the next 2 hours fighting with Elladan and Elrohir so that I can get my stamina back. Then the dwarves and the girls got here at the wrong time.

"Well brother," Elrohir said with an evil smirk, "she seems to be doing well enough, how about we add a little more pressure?" Elladan smirked and nodded before they both descended on me, attacking from both directions and I smirked.

I parried and attacked and avoided their ambush for the next 30 minutes before it happened right as the dwarves reached the field. And I mean they were on the edge watching. What? I pay attention to my surroundings, jeez.

Just as I went to turn to the right, Elrohir swung his boot up and kicked me in the stomach, right where my wound is and I actually cried out in pain as I almost fell before I laid out on Elrohir. Meaning, I kicked him in the nuts. What? I can fight dirty too.

And right after I was kicked I had heard a roar of anger, probably from Kili, Dwalin, or Blackie, and when I went down I was caught. I glanced up through the pain and locked eyes with a near panicked/calm Kili.

I looked around and the dwarves and girls had encircled us from the boys.

"Are you alright amrâl? Do you need anything?" Kili asked with worry and I shook my head.

"No Kili, I'm fine. Just a bit winded from the kick." I smiled and he relaxed after examining my face and nodded.

After that happened, and the dwarves chewing out the twins (which the girls and I laughed at), we went back up to the balcony to have our own breakfast.

As we ate (Kili sitting next to me, very close, and everyone smiling at that), Bilbo decided to speak.

"So, um, I was wondering." Everyone glanced at him while us girls kept our eyes on him in curiosity. "Cilla, do you think you can sing another song? One that means to not ever give up, to say that you're here to stay?" We glanced at each other before nodding.

"Yes, but it'll be more like two songs." He nodded, excitement in his and everyone else's eyes.

"This song, is called Never Give In, By Asking Alexandria."

(Blackie, Molly, Cilla, All three Emily doesn't know this song)

Every breath you take

I watch you slip away

You're slowly killing yourself

Every breath you take

I watch you slip away

You're slowly killing yourself

I won't give in

If my heart could sing, would you stay?

Would you stay and listen?

Would you stay and listen?

If my soul was torn, would you help?

Would you try and fix me?

Would you help un-break me?

Your smile, it eats me alive

And I can't turn away any longer

Every breath you take

I watch you slip away

You're slowly killing yourself

I won't give in

(Cilla does the Denise thing)

Every breath you take

I watch you slip away

You're slowly killing yourself

I won't give in

I'm a ghost of what's left of me

Begging you to hear me

Can you even feel me?

I can't let you go, save me please

Will you stay here with me?

Will you ever leave me?

Your smile it eats me alive

I can't turn away any longer

Every breath you take

I watch you slip away

You're slowly killing yourself

I won't give in

(Again, the Denise thing)

Every breath you take

I watch you slip away

You're slowly killing yourself

I won't give in

(Cilla screams/growls it)

I gave you everything

I never thought we would end up like this

I gave you everything

I can't let you go, save me please

I gave you everything

I won't give in

I gave you everything

I won't give in

(normal speaking voice)

Every breath you take

I watch you slip away

You're slowly killing yourself

I'll be your light in the darkness

Every breath you take

I watch you slip away

You're slowly killing yourself

I won't give in

(Denise thing)

Every breath you take

I watch you slip away

You're slowly killing yourself

I won't give in

I gave you everything

I never thought we would end up like this

The song ended and the dwarves hooted and laughed after snapping out of the shock and we started on Here I Am, Asking Alexandria.

(Blackie, Molly,Cilla, All three Emily doesn't know this song)

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

I'm unashamed of my mistakes

I walked the path I had to take

It's made me who I am today

This reign of hate is done

We're gonna take this over now

And we've only just begun

Here I am

This is all of me

I'm not hiding

I'm standing tall for all to see

Here I am

There is nothing bigger

Nothing brighter than a future I see

So if you find it hard to breathe

You can put your faith in me

I'll be the light that leads your way

We are the voice of a generation

So take your chance and don't back down

Here I am

This is all of me

I'm not hiding

I'm standing tall for all to see

Here I am

There is nothing bigger

Nothing brighter than a future I see

(Blackie sings/screams the lyrics, Cilla and Molly do the oh parts)

Take this chance

Take a stand

Take this chance

Don't back down

Take this chance (oh oh oh)

Take a stand (oh oh oh)

Take this chance (oh oh oh)

Don't back down (oh oh oh)

Here I am

This is all of me

I'm not hiding

I'm standing tall for all to see

Here I am

There is nothing bigger

Nothing brighter than a future I see\

(Cilla sings/screams this part)

So take this chance

Don't back down

Take a stand

And never let them bring you down

(Blackie sings/screams)

So, Take this chance

Don't back down

And never let them bring you down

Take this chance

Don't back down

Take a stand

And never let them bring you down

We finished and the looks on the dwarves faces...priceless. I mean it, it was hilarious. We had a great time until Thorin spoke.

"In the world you grew up in, how horrible was it? Truly?" Us girls looked at each other and sighed before sitting together on the ledge of the balcony, to which I was grateful. I was a bit sore.

Us girls looked at each other, deciding on who would speak, and the girls decided that I would be the best option. I looked at the dwarves and sighed.

"You won't like what we tell you, not one bit." I warned and they nodded. I glanced at Kili for a bit of reassurance (and I'm still trying to figure out why I looked at him) and he smiled and nodded.

I took in a deep breath and began. "Where we grew up, it is both terrible place, and a beautiful place. Terrible, because of the nature of the race of man, beautiful because nature itself. You see, it is ok if you lose your virginity at the age of 15 because it is a normal event." The dwarves gasped in outrage. "It is ok to cheat on your significant other. However, it is not ok to abuse them. People don't know how to love each other back there. Just hate and fight wars. They don't know the true meaning of peace. We start wars for something we don't understand, while the ones that the wars are being started over don't even car. It's ok to have a child out of wedlock, and all of that jazz. But, even our criminals have rules amongst one another."

"Really?" Ori (innocent Ori) asked.

I smiled. "Yes, really. You see, some (very few) serial killers and common criminals have a rule to not rape a child. If they get a new person in the cell with them and they find out that that person had raped a child, that person won't be alive by morning (AN: True). That is there biggest rule, the biggest no-no in the book. Fun fact: If a pregnant woman walks into a cafeteria in a jail where a fight is being held, the criminals will part away from her, making sure that she won't get hurt." I said thoughtfully.

"So," Balin spoke up, "even your criminals have laws?"

"Yup. The world there is ugly." I looked down. "But the best part of that world, is the animals and nature. That is what is beautiful." I smiled. "Enough talk of the world we grew up in." I winced. They all nodded.

"Lass?" I looked at Bofur. "Can you sing a song about love? A soft one, not like the ones you've been singin'?" He asked. I thought as I looked at the girls and they nodded.

I shrugged. "Sure. Em?" She nodded and got out her acoustic guitar. Seriously? Where the hell did she put that thing? And when I looked at her, all she did was smirk, cheeky little shit. Molly went over to the piano and Blackie went over to the chello (how did I not notice this stuff?).

"This is called A Thousand Years: Christina Perrie."

Heart beats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave?

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?

I looked at Kili at this part and he gave a small, (adoring?) smile. With encouragement in there as well.

But watching you stand alone,

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still

Beauty in all she is

I will be brave

I looked away and straightened myself.

I will not let anything take away

What's standing in front of me

Every breath

Every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

I glanced at the girls and we all smiled.

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

I looked down when applause went into the air. I looked up at the dwarves all applauding me and kind of did a half smile.

"That was mighty beautiful lass." Dori said with tears in his eyes.

I blushed heavily, not used to the compliments coming from people other than my sisters. "Thanks.

Next thing I new, there was a voice in my mind.

"Cilla. I know you can hear me. I believe you know who I am, and where I came from."

My eyes widened, knowing that voice, but why me?

"Because I have important information for you, or rather, the mirror does. You must come to me child. If you do not see what will happen if you choose the wrong path, all will go astray, and you will lose the Durins faster."

"What? What do you mean? I don't understand Lady Galadriel. I accepted Kili, did I make the wrong choice?"

"This is not about that. If anything, that helped to save the line of Durin. This is about your father. Come to me, bring the dwarves if you must, and you will get the answers you seek."

"Where?"

"By the garden you were in last night. Come." and with that, she left my head. Son of a bitch.
