Loving a Prince

Picture: something Serena would wear
Video: Thorin says sorry to Bilbo

~~~~

~Kili's POV~

I saw Serena in the eagle's claws.

I didn't know if she was dead or alive. And that frightened me.

Please stay alive. Please stay alive for me.

We started to fly to a flat rocky surface.

We made circles around the place and they laid use down one by one.

Thorin and Serena went first. Then Gandalf and the rest of the company.

Of course I was not the first one. I landed when the majority of the company landed.

I landed as soon as Gandalf started to heal Thorin. He murmured a few words and swiped his hand over Thorin's face.

His eyes flew open and when he noticed me and Fili he was a little less tense.

He sat for a while until we all directed our eyes to Serena. She was taking in quick breaths and was still in her wolf form. It pained me to see her broken body and bloodied form.

"Can you help her?" I asked Gandalf pleadingly.

"I can try," he said with a sigh.

"I need you to hold her down though," he said.

I knelt down and started to stroke her fur.

"She could hurt us in her wolf form!" Someone said.

"She's dying! Help her!" I yelled at them.

Dwalin stepped forward and so did Fili.

"She saved my life. Now it's time to return the favor." Dwalin said.

Fili held down her front paws and Dwalin held down her front paws. I was to make sure that her head didn't come up and bite somebody.

Gandalf started to do his thing. Her wounds started to heal and close. She didn't put up much of a fight though. Thankfully.

Once she was fully healed she began to shift back into human form.

After a while her eyes flew open and all she could say was:

"Azog! Where is he! Is he dead! What about the warg!"

"Serena, Azog is still alive and so is his warg." I said quietly to her.

She relaxed a little and then the words sunk in.

"I could've killed them both! We need to go back! I want to kill them once in for all! They need to pay!" She ranted.

"Serena, you're blinded by anger." I say to her.

She looked into my eyes and saw that I was right.

"Pay for what exactly?" Bufor asked her.

She sat up and took a deep breath.

"Azog, h-he's the one who attacked my village." she answered quietly.

"You could've gotten yourself killed!" Thorin bellowed at her.

"Well at least I'm doing some good with my life! Killing that Orc would bring peace to middle-earth!" She bellowed back standing up.

Thorin stood there wide eyed. I think Serena hates that Orc more than Thorin.

Thorin quickly looked down and we were all quite for I moment.

"The halfling were is he!" Thorin bellowed.

"He is quite all right," Gandalf said.

We all turned to Bilbo and watched as Thorin marched over to Bilbo.

"You! What were you doing! You could've gotten killed!" While Thorin was saying this Serena was not doing well. I had to hold her back from going after my uncle.

"Did I not say you would be a burden!" Serena was about to shout so I put my hand over her mouth.

"That you will not survive in the wild! That you have no place amongst us! I've never been so wrong in my entire life!" He said hugging Bilbo.

We all cheered and I forgot I still had my hand over her mouth.

"You licked me!" I exclaimed.

"That's what you get!" She said to me.

The dwarves broke into laughter once more.

Then we all noticed Thorin who was looking at something in the distance.

We looked and saw the Lonely Mountain.

I put my arm around Serena's waist and pulled her close.

She was mesmerized by the mountain and then we saw a bird fly over our heads towards the mountain.

"Look the Ravens are returning to the mountain!" Ori exclaimed.

"That my dear Ori is a thrush." Gandalf explained.

"Well we'll take it as a sign." Thorin said.

"Yes. I do believe that the worst is behind us." Bilbo said.

I looked down at Serena and she looked at me. We both smiled at each other.
