The next morning, Nadina woke up, finding herself lying naked in bed, next to Thorin, with her head stilil resting on Thorin's broad bare chest. Nadina smiled, remembering the two of them had made passionate love most of the night, and it felt wonderful to her.  That night they made love, was their first time making love, and she felt quite impressed with Thorin's bedside manners.  He was gentle with her, and feeling his warm body pressing onto hers, made her night complete.  And Thorin kept his promise on making that night for her and Thorin both to remember, and remembered she did. Thorin still was sleeping, when Nadina sat up, and she stood in front of the mirror and chuckled at her hair. I have a serious case of bed head, I look like I just got struck by lightening! thought Nadina, as she began brushing her hair, sitting at the vanity, still undressed.  As she brushed her hair, she could hear movement behind her. Nadina turned her head, and she could see Thorin waking up, and Nadina burst into laughter when she took a look at Thorin's hair. "It looks like I'm not the only one who has the serious case of bed head!" laughed Nadina. "Nadina, what's so--?!" began Thorin, and he saw the image in the mirror of himself with his hair having a very wild look. "Oh!" said Thorin, grinning, as he stood up, putting on his clothes and armor. 

Thorin brushed his hair, and rebraided it.  After that, he helped Nadina braiding her hair, and placing the beads he had given her back in her hair.   Nadina got dressed, putting her armor on that Thorin had given her. "Well, this is it." said Nadina. "This is it." said Thorin, and the two of them met up with the dwarves, and Thorin led the Company below the Mountain, where they met up with the Elves and Men. Nadina took notice that Elrond is there too, standing beside Gandalf, Bard and Thranduil.  And therefore, the large battle began. Elves, Dwarves and men versus the orcs.   

******************************************************

Nadina's POV:

As I fought off many many orcs in the battle, I prayed I wouldn't get seperated from the Company. But unfortunately I did, finding myself surrounded by many corpses of elves, dwarves and orcs, as I continued my way fighting, and there was no sign of Angelina, Bilbo, Thorin and the rest of the company, and I panicked.  How can this happen? I didn't want to be seperated from them.  As I continued searching trying to catch up with the others, I seen two large orcs in the distant, facing three smaller figures. And I recognized the figures. It was Thorin, Fili and Kili!  And the two orcs were Azog and Bolg, relentlessly attacking Thorin, as Fili and Kili intervened with the attack.  I bolted towards them, they will not die, I will not let them die.  As I ran towards the orcs, Thorin who saw me running to them, looked at me, in shock and horror from where he was laying. "NADINA NO! Leave this to us!" Thorin cried out.  But I ignored Thorin's words, as I attacked Bolg from behind, slashing at him.  Suddenly Azog seen this, and he quickly came, grabbing me by the hair, dragging me away from his son, swinging his large fist at me, knocking me down.  "NOOO!" roared Thorin, and in spite of his injuries, Thorin quickly stood up and charged at Azog with all his might, swinging his sword at the Pale orc, and killed him. I still had some strength in me, as I slowlly stood up, now covered in blood.

Suddenly after Azog fell, Bolg spun around attacking Thorin from behind. "THORIN LOOK OUT!"  Fili, Kili and myself shouted at the same time.  Thorin quickly turned, and he felt Bolg's hammer striking the dwarf in the back of the head, and Thorin fell again to the ground. I screamed, as Fili and Kili intervened shielding their Uncle, and suddenly arrows from the other orcs struck FIli and Kili and both young dwarves fell.   I jumped on Bolg, trying to slash at the thing, and he spun around and threw me and I crash landed on my back on the ground, and I screamed in pain. Luckily, I looked up and I saw Beorn, now in bear form storming in my direction, he recognized me as he saw me on my back, and his lashed out his anger on Bolg killing him with his bear strength.  When that was done, Beorn knelt beside me.  "Nadina, will you be able to walk?" Beorn asks me through my thoughts. "I don't know, Beorn. I can't barely move!"  I replied back to the skin changer.  Suddenly, Thranduil, Legolas and Tauriel  came from behind Beorn, and they saw me on the ground, and not too far from me lie Thorin, Fili and Kili. Tauriel's eyes widened. "Kili..Fili..Thorin.." gasped Tauriel. Beorn ordered Thranduil to carry me, while he carried Thorin and Fili, and Legolas would carry Kili.
