Loving a Prince

Challenged to a fight

The dwarves wanted to do a sparing thing with everybody.

We all made a circle in the field late in the afternoon. They first nominated Thorin against Kili and Fili.

I sat on the ground and watched as Thorin was tackled to the ground with the 2 brothers on top of him.

I think that was the only time I saw Thorin smile. Then Kili looked at me my heart fluttered.

"I challenge Serena to a duel!" He challenges.

Everyone starts placing bets on who will win and I slowly get up.

Gandalf started laughing like crazy and everyone looked at him.

"Oh Kili you do not know what you got yourself into!" He said in between breaths.

I smirked and then walked into the ring of dwarves.

I looked around and saw Saphira lying on the ground behind Bilbo.

"Behave!" I said. Some of the dwarves snickered and Saphira whinnied in protest.

I took my cloak and weapons off and set them in a pile next to my father who just showed up. I then turned to Dwalin.

"So you won't try to steal them again like you tried to do at Bilbo's." I whispered to him and he turned frightened.

I turned to my opponent while putting my hair into a ponytail.

"Before we fight some rules for me:

1. don't go easy on me because I can take it.

2. it's not my fault if you get hurt.

And 3. don't be sad if you lose."

Some of the dwarves said ouch and some oh's.

Kili smirked and got into his ready stance. I just stood there.

Balin said, "1...2...3...GO!"

Kili lunged at me and threw a punch. I leaned to the left and took his arm. I flipped him over my head and he laid on the ground stunned.

They were all silent and everyone turned to Saphira. She was rolling on her back and was trying her best to laugh at Kili.

I held my hand out for him to take and he gladly took it. We readied again and this time he stayed back. I laughed at him and he gave me a glance.

I was the first one to go first. I ran at him. He was ready to grab me and pin me. Instead I slid between his legs. I came back up fast but he turned around before I did.

He threw a punch but I did 3 back handsprings and kicked him in the chest on the first one.

He fell on his butt and I ran back at him again. He didn't have time to think and before he knew it he was pinned.

"Thank you for the match! I sure enjoyed myself!" I said cheerfully.

Kili was to stunned to say anything so I just laughed.

I got off of him and said, "anybody else wana go?"

Everybody took a step back from me and I laughed my head off.

I walked over to Saphira and me and her were on the ground laughing. Gandalf and my father were even laughing.

"That's my girl!" My father said.
