Unexpected Love

Chapter 13

After the goblin gathered us all together I stay as close to Kili as possible, they started pushing and pulling us through a vast network of tunnels and over wooden bridges to the throne room and a platform of the Great Goblin. The massive Goblin sitting on a throne, holding a mace topped with a skull. His far larger than any of the other goblins, and he is incredibly ugly, with warts all over her swinging chin. the goblins throw the weapons they take from us into a pile together.

"Who would be so bold as to come armed into my kingdom? Spies? Thieves? Assassins?" The great goblin says

Kili pulls me close to him "Please trust me, Kaya." He whispers turning me around pulling my hood over my head. I nod before trying to bear my face in his chest.

"Dwarves, Your Malevolence." One of the goblins tell him

"Dwarves?"

"We found them on the front porch."

"Well, don't just stand there; search them! Every crack, every crevice."

The goblins start to search the dwarves thoroughly, throwing away whatever they find. Kili tightens his grip on me as the goblins pass by us seeming not to see me.

As we stand there I suddenly feel Kili's heartbeat speed up so I looked up and I see him looking down wide eyed but it seems like he was looking through me though. I placed my hand on his chest to get his attention. I look confused at him then noticed my necklace has a faint glow to it. (Now what could this mean?)

I move my hand from his chest and to his cheek "Please calm down Kili I'm still here. You must calm down ok." I tell him calmly

I'm surprised, as he slowly nods as if he can still hear me and I soon hear his heartbeat slow down and feel his arms wrap tighter around me.

"So What are you doing in these parts? Speak!" The Great Goblin shouts to the dwarves "Well then if they will not talk, we'll make them squawk! Bring out the Mangler! Bring out the Bone Breaker! Start with the youngest." The Goblin King says

Thorin shouts "WAIT!"

"Well, well, well, look who it is. Thorin son of Thrain, son of Thror; King under the Mountain." The goblin king says very sarcastically "Oh, but I'm forgetting, you don't have a mountain. And you're not a king. Which makes you nobody, really. 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."

"Azog the Defiler was destroyed. He was slain in battle long ago." Thorin says in disbelief

The Great Goblin laughs "So you think his defiling days are done, do you?" He turns to a tiny goblin sitting in a basket and holding a slate. "Send word to the Pale Orc; tell him I have found his prize."

A tiny goblin writes down the message on his slate, then leaves into the darkness. Soon the great Goblin starts dancing and singing lustily. "Bones will be shattered, necks will be wrung! You'll be beaten and battered, from racks, you'll be hung. You will lie down here and never be found, down in the deep of Goblin-town."

One of the goblins gasps in horror and throws down Thorin's sword. It lands on the ground and the other goblins howl in fear and rage.

The great goblin speaks loudly, pointing at the sword. "I know that sword! It is the Goblin-Cleaver, the Biter, the blade that sliced a thousand necks. Slash them! Beat them! Kill them! Kill them all! Cut off his head!" The great goblin shouts to them

As he speaks, the Goblins begin whipping and leaping upon the dwarves. I try to wiggle out of Kili's grasp To try to help but he tightens it tighter "I don't understand why or how we can't see you but please stay with me, Kaya." He whispered

"Sorry but no I want to try to get a weapon to help Kili please let go, you must trust me," I tell him

He lets go and I manage to get through as the goblins start biting and slashing the dwarves. Some Goblins hold Thorin down, and one pulls out his knife and prepares to behead Thorin

As I grab a sword there's a massive explosion of bright light; I can hear nothing as a shockwave rips through the area, and I'm flung forward hitting my head on the ground.
