Ok, so I was listening to the song 'Where Do We Draw The Line' by Poets Of The Fall, and this story just hit me.

Here's the first chapter :)

It was just a normal day in the Blue Mountains. Thorin had been in meetings with mercenaries from the Iron Hills over trade routes. When he came home that evening he was greeted by a small body slamming against his legs and holding on tight. Thorin looked down into his golden haired, blue eyed, smiling, five year old nephew.

"Uncle Thorin you're back!" Fili shouted happily.

"And what has my devilish nephew been up to today? I hope you weren't terrorizing the chickens down the road again." Thorin said as he swung Fili to rest on his hip. Fili's smile just got bigger as he shook his head.

"No he didn't go off chasing the chickens. Instead he decided that bothering the baker was far better. And don't call him devilish again, Thorin." Said a dwardam, coming out of the kitchen pointing a spoon at her brother and son.

"I would have to disagree with you there, Dis. Fili is defiantly a little devil." Said a dwarrow coming from one of the back rooms holding baby Kili in his arms.

"Ah, Villi. I was wondering if you were home from the mines yet or not." Thorin greeted his brother-in –law.

"Well we were able to get done early today, so I decided to come home and spend some time with my boys."

"You mean our boys." Called Dis from the kitchen.

Soon the family had sat down for dinner. There was beef, mash potatoes, green beans, biscuits, and gravy. In the middle of their dinner there was a knock at the door. Thorin quickly got up from his seat beside Fili to answer it. As he opened the door, Thorin was greeted by the familiar face of Dwalin.

"I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but clouds have blocked out the moon and the scouts have spotted signs of orcs around the caves in the forest.

"Thank you for letting me know Dwalin. I will be out shortly. Get as many dwarves that know how to fight together…" Before Thorin could finish his sentence a messenger came running up to the door.

"It's too late the orcs have already breached the front gate. I would guess that there are about a hundred or more."

"Get every abled dwarf to the gate to fight. Dwalin while I get my things round up all the women and children and get them out of here through the tunnels." Thorin shut the door and rushed to get his weapons.

"What's wrong, Thorin?" Asked Dis, the answer that she got sending chills down her spine.

"Orcs."

Without hesitation Villi went to get his twin swards from under his bed. Meanwhile Dis grabbed Fili from his seat and grabbed Kili from his cradle.

"Villi, be careful and come back to me." Dis called to her husband.

"You know I always will." Villi replied and went out the door. Thorin was following behind when Dis stopped him.

"Thorin make sure that you bring him back. I can't lose any more of my family."

"I promise that I will try Dis." Thorin said as he leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on his sister's forehead.

The battle had gone on for hours. Dwarves and orcs were being cut down left and right. Thorin had tried to stay by Villi's side, but was separated from him when more orcs showed up. There was a sudden cry from his left and seconds later he was pushed to the ground. Thorin looked up to see a pale orc with metal imbedded in part of the left side of his skull and one blind eye. The orc had his sward raised ready to kill Thorin when a smaller orc ran up.

"Bolg, the Master has ordered us to retreat." The small orc said.

"Fine I will rally the troops that are in the village." Bolg said with disgust.

When the orcs had left Thorin got up to see what had knocked him down. To his shock and horror he saw Villi with a dagger that went straight through his heart. Thorin dropped to his knees and pick his brother-in-law up and cradled him next to his chest. How would he be able to tell his sister that he had failed to keep his promise? How would he tell his nephew that his father would not be coming home? Tears slid down his face, but he didn't care. He had failed.

So, Yeah. Please review and let me know how I did and if I should continue. Till next time.
