"Wait!" Thorin yells and steps forward the goblins dragging Ori stop in their tracks.
"Well, well, well! Look who it is! Thorin, son of Thrain, son of Thror, king under the mountain," the Goblin King mocks and bows sloppily. "Oh! But I'm forgetting you don't have mountain, and you're not a king. Which makes you nobody really." That makes Thorin flinch. The goblin king waits a moment before continuing. "I know someone who would pay a pretty price for your head. Just the head, nothing attached. Perhaps you know of whom I speak, an old enemy of yours. A pale orc astride a white warg." As the Goblin King speaks horror crosses Thorins face. Wait did he not know that Azog was still alive? He thought Azog was dead! Oh that's embarrassing.
"Azog the Defiler was destroyed. He was slain in battle long ago," Thorin says.
"So you think his defiling days are done, do you?" the Goblin King asks then turns to his scribe. "Send word to the pale orc, tell him I have found his prize."
"Good two birds one stone," Alex whispers to me.
"Do not speak to soon," I advise.

It's very cold and I'm shivering so hard it has to be called exercise. I can't see but I'm sure my arms and legs are purple. I have a skin condition that gives me goosebumps all the time and I'm always cold. It's not fun not in the least bit. Grabbing my katana that fell nearby I sheath it and fasten the belt tighter. Wobbling along I keep bumping into walls and tripping over my own feet. I'm only half conscious and I'm all beat up. I feel like I'm just one huge bruise.

"Bones will he shattered, necks will be wrung, you'll be beaten, and battered! From racks you'll be hung! You'll like down here and never be found!!! Down in the deep hole of Goblin Town!" the Goblin King sings in his awful scratchy voice. It literally hurt my ears.
"Ah Aule that stings," I moan holding my head. My arms flare up red and I blink quickly to refocus.
"I haven't even done anything and the pain has already started!" the Goblin King exclaims excitedly. This guy is seriously pissing me off. Royally pissing me off.
"Uh yes you did something! Your singing literally hurts my ears you suck!" I snap and my skin flares up again.
"Alex that isn't helping," Kili whispers.
"Alex your eyes! Calm down," Grace hisses and I quickly blink and take deep breaths.
"How about you first!" the Goblin King yells and points at me. This doesn't help my rising anger or pulse. I grit my teeth and glare while clenching my hands into fists. Then I grin, nod, and step forward confidently.
"Alex no," Grace warns.
"You know what? Yes Grace!" I growl. "This" one step forward and an inch taller.
"Is she getting taller?" Fili whispers to Kili.
"Royal," another step, my skin starts to glow red and my teeth sharpen and extend.
"Yes she is," Grace replies to Fili.
"She's glowing red," Ori comments.
"Asshole." A few more inches, my skin starts to heat and burn along with two tiny pumps poking out of my hair.
"That is a valid observation Ori," Grace states.
"Needs to be taught." My skin cracks in a few places revealing the burning fire beneath and the bumps turn into horns.
"Uh she's got horns guys," Sam points out.
"A LESSON!" I scream and lose all control. I instantly grow to 10 feet high, the horns grow bigger, my skin turns to molten lava, fire whips appear in my hands, my teeth become long and sharp, and of course fire burns behind my eyes, and mouth.
"What is this?!!?!?" the Goblin King shouts and stumbles back.
"I am the Balrog Child!" I respond and then roar with all my might. "It is not wise to mess with me." The dwarves all freeze and gape along with the goblins. Some of the goblins even passed out.
"Oh my Mahal," Kili utters then his eyes roll back and he faints into Sams arms.
"That's fucking awesome!" Sam admires and shakes Kili a bit to wake him up. The goblins shake off the shock and start picking up weapons and I clutch my whips to get ready.
"5-4-3-2-1," Grace counts and as soon as she's done everything goes to shit.

"Mom GO," I scream and wave my good arm for her to run. She nods and tries to scramble to her feet but one of Azogs orcs grab her.
"No she will watch," Azog growls and stabs his claw into my good shoulder.
"Ahhh-gahh Yavanna that stings," I groan and my vision blurs. Azog seems to pause for a moment and that's when I notice a glint of red around Azogs neck. I blink and squint to look closer.
It's a key. A metal skull key with garnet eyes and amethyst encrusted gems on the handle.
It's shiny so I reach out and rip it from Azogs neck. This shook him out of his daze and he stepped on my chest with his giant smelly foot.

"Okay Allie you need to get out of here. Oh gosh I'm talking to myself. Allie stop it! Now I'm yelling at myself. Oh and I haven't stopped talking. Allie shut up! Okay I will! Gosh the last time." Sighing I hit my hand against my head. "Get a grip Allie and think! Grace taught you how to survive and escape situations like this. First thing she said was check for injuries. Already did that. Next she said was check for your weapons and supplies." Taking my pack off my back I sift through it. "Everything still there. Last thing look for light." Squinting my eyes and focusing just enough to emanate a small glow I catch sight of a little light seeping through a crack in a cave wall.
"There," I whisper and limo over. Picking up a big rock I slam it into the crack as hard as I can. The crack becomes a little bigger. So I keep hitting it. I repeatedly hit the crack for a long while till the crack is big enough for me to fit through. "Okay let's go find my friends and Thorin." The squeeze through is tight and the rocks are jagged and sharp. But I had to get out somehow so I press on and get out. The sun hits my face and eyes stinging harshly. "Agh bright very bright," I groan and shield my eyes."
"Yes it is little halfling." Something hards hits the back of my head and I am instantly consumed by darkness.
