For the Love of a King

Chapter Fifteen: Tortured

Lilja

I stand in front of Thranduil, he smirks. I snarl and am whacked.

"What are you doing back" Thranduil asks

"Not like I planned on coming back to this hell hole" I say

"Still you're here and with Dwarves. What is it between you and Thorin Oakenshield"

"That's none of you business or concern. Is it scum"

"Take her down, see if you can get anything out of her after she gets some treatment" Thranduil says

I am lead underground by the elves and chained up just like they used to do. They whip me, I whimper.They then pour hot water on my sore back, I scream in agony.

"So changer, you ready to talk?" The elf asks

I just ignore him, he whips me again and then cuts me, I scream.

Thorin

I hear screaming coming from somewhere in the palace. I sit up, my eyes widen when I realize it's Lilja. I start shaking the cell door, the others look at me curiously then, they hear it.

"What's that?" Ori asks

"It's Lilja, they are torturing her! " I say crying

"No!" I hear Dwalin say, him and Lilja have become close, like father and daughter.

"I'm going to lose her" I say sitting

"No, Thorin. She won't give up, she is too strong and too much of a fighter for that. Look at all she has been through already" Balin says

Lilja

I am all bloody and sore, they have been trying to get information and an apology out of me. Nothing is working for them so far. Thranduil walks in.

"Seeing as we can't get information out of you, perhaps you will consider apologizing and we will stop" He says

I snarl "Like I would trust you! " I say

I am whipped again "All you have to do to end your pain is say you are sorry, and we'll stop"

I growl and earn another whip to my back and a cut to my arm and thigh.

"Are you just trying to kill me?" I ask

"No, just hurt badly" Thranduil says

"Looks more like you're trying to kill me"

"Ready to apologize?" He asks

I spit in his face "If you think doing this will get me to apologize you are dead wrong" I snarl

"Well then, suffer some more" He walks out.

It feels like hours of being tortured when Thranduil comes back in.

"Are you ready now?" He asks

I pant, everything hurts, why did this have to happen to me? I look him in the eyes, he smiles. He is really a sick twisted person.

"All of this just for an apology? Most people get over things, but for some reason you have not" I say

"You also did trespass" He says

"I was lost, I had no idea where I was!" I defend.

"I don't care, are you ready to apologize for your behaviour and go back to your Dwarf or shall we continue?"

I pause a moment, Thorin, oh how he must hate me for all the trouble I am. I look at Thranduil and nod.

"I am sorry for trespassing and for insulting you" I say

"Very good, take her to the cells and throw her in with the Dwarf king" He says.

They unchain me and practically drag me to the cells. Everyone of the dwarves watches as they take me to Thorin's cell, all with looks of both shock and sympathy. The elves open Thorin's cell, he stands up and they throw me into him and shut the door. I whimper and curl up as far away from him as I can get. He comes over to me, he puts my cloak on me. He pulls me to him and I start sobbing.

"What did they do to you?" Thorin asks

"They whipped and cut me and poured very hot water on my wounds." I tell him sobbing.

"Oh, kurdunuh. I am so sorry. I broke my promise, I was supposed to protect you" He says

"No, it's alright. I got myself into this mess, but now it's over"

"How?"

"I apologized, even though I shouldn't have had to"

"No, amralime. You shouldn't have had to" Thorin says kissing my cheek.

"I love you, Thorin" I say

"Men lananubukhs menu, Menu zirup men. Amralime. Sanzeuh. Menandr torak. Kurdunuh. Ghivasheluh" Thorin says

"I'm sorry but I don't know much Dwarvish, my love. I understood what you shouted at Thranduil but that's it" I say looking at him

"Well, Men lananubukhs menu means I love you, Menu zirup men means you complete me. Amralime is my love, Sanzeuh is my One, Men andr torak is my soul mate, kurdunuh is my heart and ghivasheluh is my treasure of treasures. You are all of those, you are my everything, Lilja" Thorin says

I start tearing up, I kiss him passionately but have to pull away and wince when he accidently touches one of my wounds. Thorin looks at me concerned. "Are you alright? Did I hurt you?" He asks

"I'm fine, just sore and have some stinging but, then again I'm used to it" I say

"Lilja, I am so sorry for what they did to you"

"Thorin, just shut up and kiss me"

He kisses me passionately, I then lay against him exhausted.

"Sleep, amralime. I'll be here watching over you" Thorin says and kisses my forehead and I drift off to sleep.
