Thorin's POV

I admit that I questioned the sanity of our burglar when he instructed us to climb into empty wine barrels. We were soon floating roughly down the rapids away from Mirkwood and toward Laketown. As we were being tossed to and fro, the orc pack finally caught up with us. We grabbed anything we could get our hands on to fight with as we tried to escape the orcs and elf guards. In the process, Kili was wounded. Mahal, my sister would never forgive me if her sons were to fall. We finally were able to evade the orcs and we fell upon the shore. My thoughts traveled to Y/N. Would she keep her promise and return to me?

(a/n: very short I know, but the next chapter will be entirely your POV and it's a bit long.)
