Imprisoned
Chapter 7
What was the meaning of this? Their capturer was brought into Kili's cell. Why should the elf do this? They would clearly not help a dwarf so why bothering with visiting one? If this elf did anything to Kili he would kill him no matter which consequences this would have for him. He desperately wanted to go to Kili's cell to make sure he was not father injured. If this elf would not come out soon...
"Lay your weapons down or I will kill him." A smile run through Thorin's face. Kili had captured their capturer. This was good. This could be their chance to escape.
He stood and leaned into the door to see what exactly was going on. All the other dwarfs did the same and so they stood there anxious looking on the guards who stared at the cell they know Kili was in with that elf.
"Lay the weapons down now or he will pay the price."
"Just do what he says." To Thorin's surprise the elf told the guards to cooperate. Maybe he was not as brave and proud as Thorin had thought when he captured them.
Now there was a small movement in the guards. They slowly lay down all their weapons which were swords, knifes and bows.
"Now hand Thorin the keys." The guard who had the keys threw a reassuring glaze to the cell an then came towards Thorin an handed him the key through the bars.
Thorin immediately opened the door and smiled to the elf.
"In here please." When the elf not obeyed Kili's voice was to be heard:
"Do you want to see this one dead? Else do what he says." And the guard entered the cell without a word. Thorin knocked him out so he would not call for aid and looked the door.
He opened all the cells and they looked the other guard knocked out in Nori's cell. They took the elven guard's weapons and as they finally reached Kili's cell the all froze in surprise when they saw that the elf was holding a knife in his one hand and supported Kili with the other. Kili smiled as he saw their unbelieving looks.
"Open the door. This is Legolas. He will not harm any of us as long as we don't kill elves. In fact it was his plan for us to escape."
This words sounded fully wrong in Thorin's ears. No elf would help them to escape on free will. Never! There must be more behind this. Elves and especially mirkwood elves were not kind in any way, not towards dwarfs.
Balin took the keys from Thorin's hand as he did not moved and soon Kili's cell was open. When the elf helped Kili out Thorin stepped forward.
"Take your hands of him, elf."
"Thorin" he felt Balin's hand on his shoulder "he has helped us." Towards the elf who had left Fili to help his brother Balin said:
"Thank you for your help but am I allowed to ask why you do this?"
"Now is not the time for this." Thorin noticed that there was something like an excuse in the elf's eyes while he spoke. "Shall we go now?"
"We need our weapons first." Dwalin replied.
"The chambers where the weapons are placed are on the opposite of the palace. We will never get there unseen. You have to ask the king handing them to you when you ask him to open the gate."
