A Journey I'll Always Remember (Kili x Reader)

Stuck In A Cell

As I was tossed into a cell by the she-elf, I stood up and tried to ram my foot in the door but she was able to close it before I reached it. She looked me up and down with distaste "What did I do to you?" I grabbed the bars. She didn't respond to me. "Why did you imprison us?" She once again didn't respond to me.
"What is your name?" She spun around to me.
"Why do hobbits ask so many questions?" She barked impatiently. "And why don't you answer them?"

She paused, her mossy eyes throwing daggers, nbefore she asked "Are you with the young dwarf, the brunette one?" I nodded my head "I am, his name is Kili." She looked down at the floor and smiled to herself "Kili." She repeated; a reaction that caused me to furrow my brow. "Yeah," I continued with thin lips "He's with me." She looked back at me and noticing glared before she stormed off to assist the elves throw the company into other cells.

"Great." I mumbled to myself as I backed up and slumped myself into the cold floor. I could see the company being put into other cells, from across me I saw Fili. The elf groaned and tutted his lips as he pulled out yet another dagger and I almost laughed as both Fili and I knew that was not the end of his stash.

I sat there on the floor, exhausted, my eyes fell shut to rest for a few minutes until I was startled by my cell door opening. The blond elf from before stood by the door, then Kili came into vision. "Kili?" I slowly got off the floor. "Caught him trying to escape, he's all yours now." The blond elf threw Kili roughly into my cell "Must have abandonment issues or something." The elf mocked before he locked the cell. It's apparent that the elves and dwarves were not friendly kins.

"Who are you?" I pressed my face against the cold bars of the cell; desperate for some information. "My name is Legolas." Was all he said with a hint of accent in his name. He began to walk off but I reached out my arm and grabbed his. "Why do you lock us up when we have done no wrong?" My eyebrows pulled together and he did the same. "Your leader is a liar and a thief. He shall speak with my father, Thranduil, King of the Woods. Your release shall be decided on your masters decision." I raised a questioning eyebrow at him, he walked away.

I turned around to face Kili, I pressed myself against the stone wall and slid down onto the floor. "Well this is great. The one instruction we had was to stay on a path, and no we're here. Can we not do anything right?" I curled up and dug my head in my hands. "Hey," He sat down next to me "Everything is going to turn out okay."
"How do you know that?"
"I just do." I rested my head on his shoulder; may as well get comfortable.

"Thanks for saving my life back there." He ran his hand through my hair as he spoke. I looked up at him and spoke with a slightly bitter tone. "I think your she-elf friend had you covered, as she said herself." I turned away from him and gave him the cold shoulder. "The she-elf? I have no interest in her, more on someone else." I grinned and looked at him "I knew you and Legolas had a spark." His eyebrows shot up in disbelief
"Legolas? Are you serious?"

He looked taken aback that I would think that even though I knew the obvious answer. I burst out in laughter. "Well then who?" I said in a sarcastic tone. "It's you," he looked deep in my eyes "And you know that." I brought my lips up to his and kissed him.

"You do know that we can all hear you, right?" Fili, who was across from us, was standing by the door. "I swear, if they're being all lovey-dovey again i'm going to smash my head against this wall!" Dwalin yelled with his accent stronger than ever. "Love you too, Dwalin." I grinned and called up to his cell above me. Trust the dwarves the cheer me up even when we're in the worst situations. "Yeah, whatever." I could practically hear him roll his eyes which made me smile more.

"I can't take this anymore." I could hear Dwalin pacing from above us. His boots were stomping on the floor and it was really loud in our cell bellow him. "Lighter on the feet please, Dwalin." Kili knocked on the wall, clearly winding Dwalin up. He groaned louder before he stopped pacing.

"Did he offer you a deal?" Thorin had returned from his meeting with Thranduil and now Balin is asking about it. "He did. I told him he could go îsh kakhfê ai-'d dûr-rugnu! Him and all his kin." I'm guessing that was a friendly response so I sighed in disappointment. "Well that's that then. A deal was our only hope." Balin sulked. "Not our only hope." Thorin grinned as he looked at all the other cells. Bilbo.

Many hours passed and I noticed Kili fidgeting with something in the palm of his hand.
"What's that?" I asked, reaching over to his hands. It was a deep jade rock with dwarvish words engraved in it. "It is a Talisam," He gently put it in my hands to let me inspect it. "A powerful spell lies upon it. If any but a dwarf read the runes on this stone, they will be forever cursed!" I let out a quiet gasp as I dropped the stone into my lip.

I could feel the grin upon his face so I thinned my lips and dropped it into his hand "You're funny." I rolled my eyes at his usual, playful jokes. "It's just a token. A rune stone," He said smiling "My mother gave it to me so I'd remember my promise."
"Which is?"
"That I would come back to her. She worries. She thinks i'm reckless."

"Your mother is right." I gave a knowing look. It sounds like Kili and his mother have such a special bond with each other, I wonder what it feels like to have such a close relationship with your mother."You would love my mother." He told me "And she'd love you just as much, there's no doubt about that. She's always been intrigued by hobbits; she believes they're gentle creatures." He smiled at the thought of it. "Does Fili have one?" I looked over to his cell, he was sleeping on the stone they called a bed with a hand draped over his face "Nah, she doesn't need to worry about him. That dwarf is loyal to a fault; he'll come home."

It didn't matter if I was stuck in a cell in the middle of Mirkwood or if I was fighting spiders or orcs I would be with Kili and the company. And that it is always the best.
