I'm In Love With Durin Blood. (A Thorin Oakenshield Romance.)

Chapter 48...

(Edlyn's P.O.V.)

I just sob over my father's resting body. People are starting to flee this now ruined city of Dale. Bricks and stone fall around me as I cry into my hands over everything that has happened. Milly and Ardy try to get me to move but I wouldn't so they all just leave without me. Pretty soon I am the only one left in this fallen city until I hear galloping.

When I look up I see Thorin walking through the smoky air. "Edlyn!" He calls out worried. My heart pounds as he comes closer. I stand to my feet clenching my dress in my hand. When he sees me a smile spreads across his face but then it fades once he sees my father laying at my feet. "Ed? My Love..."

Anger comes across me. It is his fault that this happened...dwarves are the reason for this calamity. "You! You never wrote me...not once! I sent you three letters!" I yell.

"I never received them Ed!" He says making his way over to me

"Liar!"

His eyes widen and they start to water. "I would never..." He quickly pulls me out of the way as a whole building collapses. "Come on, we need to leave."

I pull away from his grip, "Why would I leave with you? Your people are the reason this happened! I should of listened to my friends from the start and never got involved with dwarves that hoarded gold in jewels in that mountain!"

He backs away from me, his eyes full of hurt. "You think I can predict a dragon attacking Edlyn!?" I feel tears well up in my eyes.

"My father is dead!"

"So you blame it on me!? I've done nothing to you...I only fell madly in love with you Ed. I've loved you since I ran into you at the Autumn Festival. I can see that has changed..." I feel a pain in my chest almost as if someone has stuck me through the heart with a dagger. All I see is red right now. Thorin grabs my hand kissing it and shoving something into it. "Good bye..." Is the last thing he says before turning away.

I open my hand up examining a silver engagement ring with a sapphire gem in the middle, two white diamonds on either side. Tears stream down my face as I watch him disappear into the smoky distance. When I gain stability I stumble over rock, debris, and bodies trying to tell him how sorry I am for going off, but once I reach the outskirts of Dale he is already riding off to his kin. I watch the survivors of Dale depart a separate way from the dwarves, my head drops. Words couldn't describe the feelings I have for this dwarf and now he is leaving me. I slide the finger onto my ringer whispering, "Yes...My Love."
