Chapter 33

Fili and I have been separated from the others as we've been killing as many goblins as we could, I lifted my axe and swung it with all my might at the Orc, slicing it's head off, saving the prince from death. Fili rushed towards me and I smiled at him tiredly. "Thank you for that."

"I'll always look out for you, my prince." I said smiling at him softly. "I know you will." He responded shyly, we were distracted with each other. Fili's eyes frequently kept coming back to mine and mine to his. I put my axe through another Orc and as it fell lifeless, I swung my weapon again, taking down another. "Is something wrong??" I called out to him and I heard him grunt loudly before he sliced the head off the creature at his feet.

"I have something to tell you!" He hollered at me. "I've been wanting to say this again for a long time! But you just disappeared!" I looked at him. "What is it??"

"I love you!" He yelled across the swarms of bodies around the both of us, It would've been quite a romantic moment, if we weren't surrounded by dead Orc bodies. "Are you seri--!?" I was cut off as another Orc tried to attack me and I decapitated it on the spot, annoyed at the interruption.

"I love you! I knew it the moment I met you and I sensed you've known how I've felt for a while! It was not only when we had sex!" Fili continued and I paused again, panting from all the fighting. He swung at the next Orc in his way then rushed to my side. "Tell me you feel the same way."

I do. Of course, I do. The way he gazed at me every time would make anyone weak in the knees, his eyes searched mine desperately for an answer and a smile slowly came upon my face. "Fili I--! I do love you! But I also love Kili and Thorin!" I spoke up, before he could reply, an Orc came up behind me and Fili moved me out of the way before sliding his sword through it.

"I know." he said smiling childishly as he turned back to me. "That's why I'm up for the challenge to gain your heart..." He brought his hand to my cheek, caressing it and I brought mine on top of his. "I had to say something now... In case I die here." He added and my expression fell flat.

"That sure puts a bit of a damper on the confession..." I stated with a raised brow and he grinned at me again. "I would think us being ambushed by Orcs can put a damper on anything." He responded, bringing an arm around my waist to pull me closer. "Fair enough..." I stated and shoved him away as two Orcs came raging at us, slicing them with my axe as I looked at Fili again.

We ran to find Thorin, Dwalin and Thorin, and when we founf them the dwarf king glared at us, giving a silent sigh. "For Mahal's sake..." Thorin mumbled and stalked over to us, pulling us apart. "There's still a few orcs left..." Grinning at each other, we rushed down to finish off the last Orcs in our path.

As we finished and there were no more goblins around, Thorin walked to a small ravine and he looked down at the frozen water. "Where is he?" Kili asked and I looked around and then at the tower. "It looks empty." I say and Kili takes a step forwards. "I think Azog has fled."

"I don't think so." Thorin muttered and looked around to watch us. "Fili... Take your brother. Scout out the towers. Keep low and out of sight. If you see something... Report back, do not engage. Do you understand?"

"We have company." Dwalin told us and goblins arrive from behind. "Goblin mercenaries. No more than a hundred." Thorin walked in front of us. "We'll take care of them. Go! Go!"

// Timeskip //

Time has passed since we last saw Kili and Fili, my mind once again thought about the possible outcomes, I should have gone with them. "Where is that Orc filth?" Dwalin whispered, I felt a light in the darkness coming closer to us and from that, Bilbo appeared in front of us.
