The girl with the dragon eyes ( middle earth fanfic )

Every scar tells a story

Calista's tattoo

( KILIS POV )

I watched Calista swing off the tree and into the water and couldn't help my thoughts
She's amazing, beautiful, strong, funny and in general just a phenomenal woman. I mean you can see all the hurt and scars that she has suffered and she still knows how to smile.

When she came back up to the surface my breath hitched in my throat, her clothes stuck to her like a second skin showing all her curves and her long hair trailed down her back. Her skin seemed to almost glow in a way that makes her look almost like she belongs in a dream, but here she was right in front of me.

I grinned and sunk under the water swimming under her and so her legs rested on my shoulders then swam up.
"Kili what ar- ahhhhhhh" she screamed when I resurfaced. Her scream quickly turned into a beautiful melody of laughter that made my heart pound in my chest but I didn't understand why. Why did she make me feel like this.

"Hahahahahaha, Kili let me down" Calista said still laughing
I started walking around in the water with her still on my shoulders.
"Not until you say sorry for pushing me in the water" I stated cheekily

She leaned over me so her face was infront of mine, her hair flipped forward so it was hanging vertically down. Her nose was almost touching mine and I had the sudden urge to kiss her. She laughed again and than said.
"No" and leaned forward so I fell and she used this to flip off my back and back into water.

"O I'll get you for that" I smiled at her and she laughed and ran/swam away. I went after her so she was giggling like a child. Everyone was looking on in amusement at our childish antics and I soon noticed that even Thorin was smiling a little bit.

"Dwalin, protect me" she squealed sarcastically as she jumped onto Dwalins back with her arm wrapped tightly around his neck.
He laughed and said"If ya want the lass, ya have to go through me"
I amediatly backed off. It was nice to know he was warming up to her.

( CALISTAS POV )

After awhile of splashing and dunking each other under the water I crawled out and flopped down in the sun to dry. We still had a couple hours of sun left until it was dark so that meant sun bathing and scouting around while I had the light.

I was starting to really like these guys which is weird because I don't normally warm up to people this fast. With me being what I am an all I find it hard to make friends when everyone's leaving me with new scars. While I was laying there I noticed a bruise around both my wrists. One of which goes over my tattoo of a dragon on my left wrist and forearm. I still remember getting that tattoo, I'll never forget.

-Flashback-
I was very young, only about 11 in human years. I walked into Bree since that happens to be the one of the only towns I ever go into. After a lot of searching I found a dodgy tattoo parlour where I got some guy to give me the mark that would stay with me forever.

"So what makes you want this tattoo lass" the buff guy asked
"It helps remind me of who I am and how permanent it is, only to fade when I leave this world for the afterlife I'm destined to have" I replied blankly.

Once it was done I ran into the forest and slumped up against a tree. I tried to cry but I couldn't, no madder how hard I tried I just couldn't because my kind find it very hard to feel any form of emotion wether it be sad, happy or the hardest of all, love.

There I sat with my head buried in my knees and my arms wrapped around myself. I heard a twig snap and looked up, Gandalf sat next to me and hugged me. He was my only and most trusted friend
"What did you do to yourself?" he asked
I showed him my tattoo and he sighed

"My dear, you mustn't burden yourself like this" he lectured
"I will never feel or be anyone other than a monster" I sobbed
"But my child, you were never a monster, you have feelings that you just can't see yet. You may not believe me but I know that you are very capable of your emotions and will learn to love when the time is right" he seemed so sure of himself.

I stayed there for hours with Gandalf in a comfortable silence. I promised myself that no madder how hard life got and how many times I want to just give up, I will always remember how to smile.

Gandalf got up and smiled at me
"I wish you could stay my wise little child forever" Gandalf said
"I may grow old on the outside but I promise I will be a child at heart until the day it stops beating" and I to this day have still kept that promise.
-end of flashback-

I was so lost in thought even my advanced senses didn't pick up Kili lying down next to me until he started inspecting my bruises and scars.
"Where did these come from?" He asked me
"Let's just say I don't get along with the majority of Middle earth" I said hoping he'd leave it.

He didn't leave it alone and instead started tracing a scar that ran from my collar bone to my shoulder. I shivered as he made contact with my skin and I had no idea why.
"I got that one from a man that was out collecting firewood" I explained figuring the sooner I said the sooner he'd leave so I could sort out thoughts.
"How do you remember?" Kili questioned
"Every scar tells a story" I whispered more to myself but still loud enough that he could hear.
