It was a long exhausting night for the company, as none would find rest until they knew the fate of the dwarf prince and the elf. The sun was already rising above mountain."Thorin!" Fili cried out. The two young dwarf brothers feared for the survival of their uncle, Kili especially, Thorin had been more of a father to him than an uncle. He never knew his real father and neither brother was ready to lose their uncle so soon. The eagles passed over the mountains, that were surrounded by the low clouds and soon were flying over a valley with a stream in the middle of it.

Bilbo was looking around desperately until his eyes landed on someone in particular. His cousin was still passed out on the back on an eagle. If he didn't know better, he would have just thought she was just sleeping peacefully. Her face was covered in her own blood, the laceration above her eye was deep and she had lost so much blood, he was unsure if she would make it through another day. The eagles flew over to giant rock(Carrock), and began hovering above it, crying out to one another to let the eagle that was carrying the dwarf prince to be the first to land and the eagle gently laid Thorin, along with his sword on a flat area of the rock. Gandalf was the next to land and he rushed over to the dwarf's side, calling his name but he received no reply. Bilbo was now on the rock and walked over and saw the state the leader was in. Most of the others hand landed and waited anxiously. The eagle that was carrying Honoria finally was the last to land, Fili and Kili, carefully taking her off the back of the bird and putting her on the ground. Oin was at the elf's side immediately examining her and was muttering something that no one seemed to understand.

Gandalf whispered an incantation as he placed a hand over the dwarf's face and his eyes slowly opened. Thorin looked at the wizard, remembering the very last thing he saw before his vision had completely gone dark. "W-where's Honor?" He demanded, remembering her scream as it replayed in his mind. When the wizard wouldn't answer him right away he feared the worse had happened. "Where is she?" Thorin struggled to get up, and when Dwalin and his youngest nephew tried to help him, he shoved them both off and searched amongst the others until he found the elf, who was still laying on the ground unconscious. His eyes soon found the cause of the painful scream that had escaped her lips just as he blacked out. He recognized the pattern of her wound, from Azog's mace. Thorin swallowed, the elf had risked her life to protect him when he was down and now she was barely hanging on by thread. He should be dead right now. He had been so cruel to her since they left Rivendell, he tried everyone to convince himself that what he felt for her wasn't real that he had been cursed, and she still protected him. He continued to look at the young woman laying there not moving, he wasn't sure if he could bare the possibility of her not in his life.

The hobbit was at Honor's side, pestering Oin for a straight answer of her chances right now, but the medic would only mumble remarks that had the hobbit furrowing his brows. When Oin wouldn't answer he walked away, covering his mouth as he paced.

"Is she going to live?" Kili dared to ask, as everyone quietly waited for Oin to answer, Thorin especially.

"No she's not dead, you idiot. Are you deaf! Have you not been listening to anything I've said lad?" Oin grumbled, as he leaned over and could feel the faint breath escaping the elf's lips. Kili raised an eyebrow at the medic.

"What are you talking about, you haven't said anything!" Kili growled and Gloin, rolled his eyes at his brother.

"She'll be fine. The lass just needs a goods night rest and someone needs to keep an eye on her just encase....her condition gets worse." Oin instructed. The dwarves were extremely exhausted, they all could use a goods night rest especially now that they had Azog and his pack on the hunt for them. They were safe for now, thanks to the eagles. Bilbo was about to step forward, even though he had just as a tiring few days like the dwarves, but she was his family. He could recall a certain day. It was when his parents first adopted Honoria after her mother mysteriously died. They made him promise to always look after his little cousin and to keep her out of trouble.'Like that would ever happen.' he thought. They always warned she was going to be a handful, oh she was a handful for sure but he wouldn't wish for her to change, no matter how much he got annoyed at her for it.

"I will." Thorin's voice spoke up, after being so quiet for the longest time.

"But lad, you need your rest. You need--" Oin was cut off by Thorin.

"I won't find rest, until I know she's awake." Thorin growled as he walked passed the others and went over to the half-breed and sat on the ground beside her. His eye's never leaving her still form. The dwarves did not argue and all spread out on the rock, to get some rest, they wouldn't be able to stay long, Azog would find them soon. Nightfall came fast. The dwarves were snoring away. Thorin continued to sit beside the elf, praying she would wake up soon. He reached over and took her hand in his, stroking it softly. "Honor, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for everything." He whispered beside her as if he was trying to convince himself of the fact. He leaned over and pressed his lips to her forehead and gave her hand a little squeeze. Some part of him hoped she could hear him and would return the action but when nothing happened he began to have doubt's once again and he looked away to the north, when he felt her hand move in his. He looked back at her, and he suddenly felt there was still hope for her.

Thorin soon passed out sometime in the later hours of the night. Unable to fight the exhaustion any longer. The sun was just rising over the valley. Honoria's eyes slowly fluttered opened. She took in her surroundings and realized that she was no longer on the cliff, where she faced the pale orc.....Azog. His name as she thought about it sent chills down her spin. The elf instantly went to feel her injury only to feel, cloth instead. She looked beside her to see Thorin sound asleep, as was everyone else, even her cousin. She got up off the ground. Feeling slightly dizzy at first but she managed to walk past the others without disturbing them. Thorin woke up only moment's after. He instantly froze when he noticed she was no longer laying their beside him, looking around for her, until he saw that she was standing at the other end of the rock. He got up and walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. Honoria jumped at his touch and turned around so fast about to attack him, thinking he was an orc, but he caught her and steadied here.

"It's okay...Honor...your safe."Thorin assured her. She looked at the ground, nodding and tried to walk past him, when he stopped her. "Honor wait... I have to say something." She looked up into his eyes, not saying anything, wondering if he was about to say something else hurtful like he's been doing since they left Rivendell. " Honor, I know I don't deserve your forgiveness. I hurt you badly and because of my anger and blindness I nearly got you killed and I can never forgive myself for that." Honoria didn't know what to say, this was the last thing she ever expected from Thorin. " I just hope you can find it in your heart one day to forgive me, for the mistakes I've done." Thorin stated. The rest of the dwarves were awake and hadn't spoken since they saw their leader speaking so intensely with the elf.

The two of them continued to stare at each other in silence. The dwarf stroked the side of her cheek. One thing he knew for certain was that he never wanted to feel what he felt when he saw the woman lying there covered in blood again. To him that was proof enough that what feelings he had for the elf in Rivendell were real. He was inches from her face when he pulled her close to him and claimed her lips, ignoring the sudden gasps from the company, including the hobbit. Honor's eyes widen at his action. He kissed her like he did that day in Rivendell The two of them pulled away. Thorin looked down at her and smiled, and a smile formed across the half-breed's face. Honoria instantly went into his arms. It nearly killed her, when Thorin started being cruel to her after they left Rivendell, mainly because she couldn't hide her feelings any longer for the dwarf and he did.

"Just don't ever do that to me again.." Honor whispered against him for only him to hear. Thorin pulled slightly away, to look her in the eyes as he placed his hand on the side of her cheek.

"I promise Honoria, I will never hurt you again." He promised and he reached into his pocket and pulled something out and handed it to her. She looked down at it, and couldn't believe she had forgotten the goblin had torn it from her neck when they were in Goblin-town.

"My mother's necklace." She practically choked out, and smiled at Thorin. "I thought I lost this forever. Thank you. Just promise me one other thing." She stated and he looked at her and nodded. "Promise me to stop calling me, 'Honoria'...it's just 'Honor'" she smiled up at him causing him to chuckle.

"I promise, as long as you promise to never confront Azog again." He pressed to her. She knew she couldn't keep that promise. If the dwarf was ever in the same situation like on the cliff's she would have done the same thing again.

"I can't make that promise, grumpy." she teased. He let out a short snicker, actually happy to hear her call him that for once, but he never wanted her to put herself in that sort of danger again. He placed his hands firmly on her shoulders looking at her in the eyes.

"Honor I mean it, I don't want anything to ever happen to you." He stated with a serious face. All she could do was nod but she wasn't going to promise. He pulled her back into his arms and muttered something. "And stop calling me 'grumpy'" She snickered and he felt her shake her head against him. Even the others had heard his grumble and they laughed. He looked up and saw something in the distance. Releasing his sudden hold on her.

"Is that what I think it is?" Bilbo said as he came up beside his cousins side as they looked far across the distance. Thorin started walking to the edge of the rock, pulling the elf with him as the others followed behind them.

"Erebor...The Lonely Mountain...The last of the great dwarf kingdom's of Middle-Earth." Gandalf stated.

"Our home." Thorin exclaimed as he looked at the mountain with longing.

"Look a Raven!" Oin said as a bird chirped passed them all. "The birds are returning to the mountain."

"That, my dear Oin, is a thrush." The wizard corrected.

"But we'll take it as a sign." Thorin stated. " A good omen."

"You're right. I do believe the worst is behind us." Bilbo agreed. Thorin smiled at both the hobbit and the elf as they were one step closer in claiming what was there's. They know there will be obstacles to still over come, before they reached the mountain, but all could agree the worst was defiantly behind them.
