Thorin's Lost Love(Thorin Oakenshield love story)

Thorin's And Katherine's Story

*Bilbo's pov*

It was night and I couldn't sleep, the only ones up was Fili, Kili, Katherine and Gandalf.I walked over to my pony and gave her a apple.

Me: "It's our little secret, Myrtle."

I saw Katherine petting her and Thorins pony.My eyes widen when I saw a giant scar on her neck, it came from her neck to her shoulder blade.I was about to ask her what happened but was cut off by screeching.It wasn't just me that looked but Fili, Kili and Katherine did too.I walked over to Fili and Kili.

Me: "What was that?"

Kili: "Orcs."

Me: "Orcs?"

I ran over to them but what I said caused Thorin to wake up.I saw him look around then looked at Katherine in relief.

Fili: "Throat-cutters.There'll be dozens of them out there.The lone-lands are crawling with them."

Kili: "They strike in the wee small hours when everyone's asleep.Quick and quiet, no screams.Just lots of blood."

I looked at them scared and thought they were crazy,when they started laughing.I turned to Thorin when I saw him get up, to walk over to Katherine.

Thorin: "You think that's funny?You think a night raid by Orcs is a joke?"

Kili: "We didn't mean anything by it."

Thorin: "No, you didn't.You know nothing of the world."

I watched him walk over to Katherine, who embraced him.

Balin: "Don't mind him, laddie.Thorin has more cause than most to hate Orcs."

We looked at him while he looked at Katherine's scar.

Balin: "After the dragon took the Lonely Mountain and getting separated from his true love.King Thror tried to reclaim the ancient Dwarf kingdom of Moria.But our enemy had got there first...Moria had been taken by legions of Orcs..led by the most vile of all their race: Azog the Defiler.The giant Gundabad Orc..had sworn to wipe out the line of Durin."

I looked at the couple who had started looking at the night sky.

Balin: "He began..by beheading the king.Thrain, Thorin's father, was driven mad by grief.He went missing.Taken prisoner or killed...we did not know.We were leaderless.Defeat and death..were upon us.That is when I saw him.A young Dwarf prince..facing down the pale Orc.He stood alone against this terrible foe.And before the pale orc started to swing his weapon..he told our prince something that made all our blood turn cold.He said that the night before they came to Moria..they came across a halfling that was half dwarf half elf.He said she was such a beauty and that to bad he had to kill her.He said how he did it by cutting her from the neck all the down to her shoulder blade.Thorin was struck with grief but still fought..His armor rent..wielding nothing but an oaken branch as a shield.Azog the Defiler learned two things that day...One to never take someone's true love away..Two that the line of Durin would not be so easily broken.Our forces rallied..and drove the Orcs back.And our enemy..had been defeated.But there was no feast..nor song that night..for our dead were beyond the count of grief.We few had survived.We few who survived..made a promise to bring back our beloved Katherine..Wether she would be alive or dead..because she didn't belong out there by herself.No,she belonged with us..with Thorin..And I thought to myself then..there is one who I could follow.There is one..I could call king."

We all watched Thorin and Kat start walking back, hand in hand.

Me: "And the pale Orc? What happened to him?"

Thorin: "He slunk back into the hole whence he came.That filth died of his wounds long ago."

I watched him as he sat down with Katherine right next to him.I smiled a little when he wrapped his arms around her.I couldn't stop myself from asking.

Me: "Katherine?"

She looked at me.

Me: "I'm sorry but I can't help but wonder-"

Kat: "About the night I got this scar."

She pointed to the one on her neck.I just simply nodded.

Kat: "Well I already told Thorin.So why not..Well the day of the dragon attack I was out hunting actually, then to visit my parents graves.But when I heard about the dragon, I knew in my heart that Thorin, Thrain, Thror and all of my friends were still alive.I just didn't know where they were, so I just started to Moria,and stayed there.Because I knew and hoped that they would come back..The night before the battle was the night I was so happy because I would get to see not only my friends but Thorin as well.After a few moments of resting I saw an Orc that was pale but very young.When he saw me he started to charge at me, and before he even got a few feet from me.I shot him in the head with one of my arrows.I thought he was the only one but I was wrong..I was suddenly thrown across the air and hit my head against a tree.My vision was so blurry because of me about to pass out.I didn't even have time to look up when I felt something cut into me.It felt like an eternity before I passed out.But before I did I heard someone say that 'This is for my son' and then I was out.Next thing I know I woke in a beautiful place but then I relised who lived there."

Dwalin: "Let me guess, elves?"

Me: "Yes, when I finally got to talk to someone about me leaving,the person I think his name was Elrond.But he said I could leave when I fully mended but when I asked him about if there was a battle or not at Moria..he said there was but didn't answer my question on who survived.That day,apart of me thought Thorin and the rest were dead but another part didn't give up..I searched and searched for 60 years trying to find everyone rather they were alive or dead.If alive I would welcome them with open arm's but if they were gone I would find a special place to burry them.But I didn't see anyone until that night at your house Bilbo.I still am glade Gandalf found me and asked me to come."

Gandalf chuckled while everyone looked at me in a awe.

Gandalf: "And you weren't an easy person to find, my dear."

.......

We talked awhile more but then I feel asleep.
