*Cassy's POV*

I had lost all sense of time. I had been fighting for a seeming eternity, my arms heavy and aching with the effort I put up to keep the enemies at bay. I didn't know how many orcs I had slain, how many goblins I had shot or how many wargs I had killed. I just knew that they had been too many to count, and still their number only seemed to be growing instead of decreasing.

I had put my bow back onto my back a while ago, deciding to save my remaining arrows for when I would need them. I fought on, driving my sword into an orc's chest as I mercilessly cut off his head with one of my daggers. My breathing was heavy as the beast fell to the ground and I stepped over its lifeless body, my skin hot and my eyes gleaming with a dangerous fire. All around me the air was filled with death and blood, and I did not know over how many dead bodies I'd had to step to keep on fighting. And I didn't want to know.

I had lost my friends early on during the battle, unable to keep track of them as the fighting had forced us apart and in different directions. I had seen glimpses of my companions every now and then. I had caught sight of Gloin who had smashed his war-hammer right into a warg's head, and I had seen Dwalin's mighty form through the chaos, swinging his axes at every foe that dared come his way. I had also seen my friend, Dastan, jump onto a warg's back to kill its rider.

But I had not seen any of my friends in a while now and I was fighting on my own along with dwarves and men I didn't know and elves that I had never seen before. We worked together as a mighty force, and yet it seemed like our efforts were in vain.

I barely managed to dodge the sudden attack of a warg, diving out of the way and landing painfully on my side on the rocky ground. I groaned slightly as I pushed myself off the floor at the same time that the warg was coming at me again. I scrambled backwards as the beast charged, raising my dagger to hold it off as I had dropped my sword, though this proved to be of little use. I cried out in pain as the warg jumped onto me, and I heard something crack as its large claws dug into my torso as it opened its mouth, revealing fangs as sharp as spears. With a desperate cry, I rammed my dagger into its open mouth and stabbed the roof of its mouth, trying to breathe through the pressure that its paws put on my chest. I screamed as the creature's mouth tried to shut, its teeth piercing through my arm causing an intense, searing pain to shoot through my arm. I twisted the dagger that was still in the warg's mouth effectively killing the beast. I groaned in relief as the warg finally collapsed and I quickly used my legs to push it off of me before it buried me beneath its massive form.

Panting, I grabbed my sword and forced myself to scramble to my feet, pain coursing through me as I stood. I put a hand to my side, groaning in pain as I realized that the warg must have broken some of my ribs when it had jumped on me. Clenching my teeth together, I forced myself into an upright position, and my knuckles turned white as my grip on my weapons tightened forcefully. I went on then, fighting my way further into the chaos.

It was then that I could hear the caws of birds in the air, and I looked up, seeing the familiar giant eagles flying over the battlefield, joining us in our fight. I looked around, and in the distance I thought I could see a massive black form, and after a few moments I realized that Beorn had joined the battle in his bear form. A spark of hope built in my stomach then, as I fought on. The war was not yet won, but we were not alone in our fight and our efforts were not in vain.

It was after another long while of continuous fighting that I finally saw one of my companions again and my eyes lit up with relief as I caught sight of Nori's familiar figure in the tumult, slaying orcs and goblins with sword and hammer. I quickly slit a goblin's throat as I hurriedly picked my way over to the kind dwarf.

"Nori!" I called once I was within earshot, and I watched as the dwarf rammed his war-hammer into an Orc's chest, and I could hear its bones crack before it fell dead to the floor even from this distance. Only then did Nori look over at me a happy smile coming to play on his face as he caught sight of me, fighting alongside him.

"Lass!" He greeted me, swinging his sword at another enemy, though the smile didn't fall from his lips. I deflected a blow from an orc, trying to ignore the overwhelming pain in my torso as I drove my sword into its chest, letting it fall to the floor before I turned back to Nori.

"It's good to see someone that - doesn't - have - such - a - nasty- mug!" The dwarf called, with every word bringing his hammer down onto a large orc as he spoke, killing it with the last one.

"Back at you!" I replied loudly with a small grin as we fought, though my joy was cut short as I suddenly saw another orc coming up behind my friend. "NORI, WATCH OUT!"

But the dwarf was a bit too slow as he was still fighting another enemy, and I was busy defending myself against a goblin to do anything as Nori finally turned around. I cried out in desperation and horror as I watched the orc raise his sword, and before Nori could defend himself, the blade had already found its way into his body.

"NO!" I cried as my eyes were trained on the end of the blade that was sticking out of Nori's back before the orc pulled it out. The dwarf stumbled two steps backwards before he fell to his knees.

"NORI!" I shouted as the dwarf's body hit the floor with a cruel finality, and I felt my heart tear apart as I saw his body go limp. A feral growl rose in my throat as I looked up at the orc that was grinning down at the dead dwarf cruelly before its gaze found me that was standing a few metres away. A sneer came to play on the beast's face then, and I raised my sword and dagger threateningly, though my hands were trembling from anger. I would not let this horrid beast get away with what it had just done, I swore to myself. With a wild cry, I charged forward at the same time as the orc did, and I felt its sword graze my arm as I rammed my dagger directly between its eyes. Mercilessly, I ripped it out then, watching with a dark gleam in my purple eyes as the beast fell to the ground before me, all life vanished from its body.

I turned to my dead friend then, tears shimmering in my eyes as I took a step towards him, and it was then that a familiar sound suddenly filled my ears. A whirring that became louder within a second and before I could take another step, an arrow had ripped through my thin armour and embedded itself deep within my shoulder so that the arrowhead was sticking out of the back of my shoulder.

I cried out in pain as I looked down at the arrow that had gone straight through my shoulder with disbelieving eyes. I threw my dagger at the goblin that had shot me and watched as it fell to the floor dead.

I heard a familiar cry and looked towards my brother who was running towards me with wide eyes. He obviously just saw the extent of my injuries.

"Cassy!! Oh for the love of Durin!" He cried out as he stopped in front of me reaching to examine my shoulder but then he caught sight of my blood soaked arm from where the warg had bitten me.

"Are you alright, Cas?!" I asked, ignoring his worried expression as I reached out to reassure myself that he was there and was alive.

"Yes, are you?"

"No... Nori... he's... he's..." I pointed to Nori's motionless form, unable to finish the sentence.

Caspian looked at the dwarf's body with tear-filled eyes, also not knowing what to say.

"Watch out!" I yelled as I pushed Caspian to the side as an arrow flew towards him, instead of it hitting my brother... it pierced my thigh causing my knees to buckle and making me fall to my knees with a pain filled gasp.

"CASSY! NO!!" Caspian yelled. I looked up and to my horror I saw an orc about to bring his axe down on my head but before I could blink, the axe found another target.

My brother had jumped in front of me. The tears were already streaming down my face as I watched the axe being embedded into my brother's torso.

"CASPIAN!" I screamed, ignoring the pain of my own wounds as I grabbed my remaining dagger and from its sheath and rammed it into the orcs neck with agonizing cry, both from anger and pain.

I turned towards a group of orcs that were near, two of them had arrows aimed at me and in my grief-filled rage, I grabbed my bow and notched an arrow. I didn't aim properly, but nevertheless the arrow pierced one of the orcs in the chest.

"No one hurts my family!" I screamed as I fired arrow after arrow at any orc that I could see, the dwarfs, elves and men near me, looked at me in awe as I lived up to my title as the Archer Queen.

I looked around and saw that I had killed all the orcs and goblins near me so I stumbled over to Caspian who was laid in a puddle of his own blood.

"Caspian..." I breathed weakly as I saw how fatal his wound was. I couldn't lose my brother... not like this... "Please Cas, you can't die."

"I love you Cass!" He gasped as he coughed up blood. "Don't you ever forget that... now why are you wearing a ring on your left hand." He said with a smile.

"I was going to tell you after the battle... Kili asked me to marry him, and I said yes." I said as I took my twin's hand.

"He is one lucky dwarf.... congratulations... You deserve to be happy." He smiled. "Promise me something?" He asked and I immediately nodded. "If you have a son, call him Caspian Marcus Durin?" He grinned.

"I wouldn't dream of naming my future son anything else... I love you so much Caspian... You can't leave me like our parents... You just can't! What about your wife and son?" I sobbed.

"Take care of them for me? I love you..."

"I promise I will. I love you so much, brother... I feel like I'm losing my other half -" I choked back a sob.

"Shhh... everything will be fine, Cassy -" A heart-breaking sob left me as my brother's hand went limp in mine. I gasped for breath as more sobs shook my body.

"Caspian? -" I said in vain... My brother was gone.

My head rested against his chest as I cried, my heart was breaking and I could feel it. I didn't pay attention to the chaos around me as I held my twin brother's body in my arms.

I forced myself to stand and continue fighting but once I was on my feet, something happened. I felt two sudden pains shoot through my body as a knife pieced my arm and another arrow embedded itself in my side.

A breathless wheeze left my mouth as I looked down at the newest arrow, my eyes wide as I lost my balance and fell to my knees beside my brother. I felt the hard and cold ground beneath me, small stones digging into my knees as I looked around. My arm was dripping with blood from the warg's bite, my shoulder was burning from the poison covered arrow that had impelled me, my thigh was burning just as badly from the arrow. I tried to take a breath. Immediately, a merciless bolt of pain shot through me and I coughed helplessly, my body trembling as I fell forward.

I felt the arrows sink deeper into my flesh, mercilessly digging their way through me as my broken ribs shifted painfully within my torso. I tried to breathe through the horrible pain that was overtaking my whole body and mind. But my body refused to work properly, and air only found its way in and out of my lungs in a painful death rattle. Everything hurt as I was lying on the stony ground, unable to move as my eyes wandered over the on-going war around me. I could see people still fighting, could hear the clash of iron on iron, iron on flesh. I could hear the screams and roars of dwarves that were fighting alongside men and elves, and the howls and screeches of wargs and orcs. I could smell the metallic scent of blood, could taste my own in my mouth and feel it trickling out of my body, leaving me weaker with every passing second.

I could see death all around me, could hear it in the cries that echoed over the field, could see it when I looked over and saw Nori's form lying lifeless on the ground a few metres away from me and when I felt my arm brush that of my dead brother. But most importantly, I could feel it slowly and mercilessly overtaking my own body.

I forced myself to look around. I just wanted to see someone. I needed to see a familiar face in all this chaos and death. I needed to see that even though Nori and Caspian had died, and I was probably dying, that our fight had not been for nothing.

An image of a smiling brunet dwarf appeared in my head as my eyes slowly started to flutter, and I suddenly felt a broken and breathless sob rattle through me body, making me cringe in pain. I remembered our conversation from the night before, almost able to hear his soft voice in my head as my eyes blurred with tears that would be left unshed. I would not get to be his wife, I thought as darkness overran my mind, pulling me away from the battlefield. I would not get to have a life with him, I thought as the deafening noise around me slowly started to become dull, only muffled voices and cries reaching my ears anymore as I drifted away.

I would not get to say goodbye to him, was the last thought that crossed my mind before I finally let my eyes fall closed as unconciousness overtook me.
