"Thorin! No don't!" Ella screamed but he didn't listen.
Ella couldn't see but she heard enough. More tears started flowing down her face as she heard Thorin shout in pain. "Thorin!" Dwalin shouted trying to get to the king but he almost fell down the tree as the branch he was holding broke. Thorin let out another cry but then Ella heard a sword swing and she felt Thorin falling against the ground though the tree. She felt no movement. She heard no screams only the voices of the orcs. "Gandalf!" Ella cried. "Please! You have to do something!" Ella was starting to feel weak and she wouldn't be able to hold the tree much longer. She looked up and saw the hobbit standing above her, his sword ready in his hand.
"Bilbo, don't even think about it!" Ella shouted. "Your not-" "Ella, you just make sure that the tree doesn't let go!" Bilbo said quickly patting her arm and ran from the tree as Thorin had done. "BILBO NO!" Ella shouted in anger. "Somebody do something!" Everybody heard Bilbo's battle cry and an orc screaming in pain. This caused the others to pull themselves up. "Hold on, love." Fili said soft before jumping over her arms. "Be careful!" She shouted as she saw some of the dwarves running off. "George stay there!" Ella ordered as she could feel him move through the tree.
"Dori! Ori!" Ella screamed as she could hear them fall. She looked down as a giant bird scooped them on its back. "Gandalf?" she asked. "Don't worry my lady." He said calm. "They will be alright." More birds came and threw the wargs and orcs of the cliff. Some others came and lifted or pushed the remaining dwarves out of the tree. Ella had gathered enough strength to swing her legs around the tree again. She wouldn't let go og the tree until every last one of the company was on a bird.
The roots of the tree broken and Ella was falling toward the ground together with it. Ella closed her eyes waiting to fall to the ground when she felt a couple of claws pulling her away from the tree. Ella let out a little yelp and grabbed tight around the paw of a giant bird. The bird flew over the bird that George was sitting on, before dropping her. Ella pulled George close. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?!" Ella took a good look at George. "I'm okay." He smiled and gave Ella a hug. Ella flinched at the pain she felt growing in her scull. She ran her hand through the braids on the back of her head and looked at it. Her hand was filled with blood. "Ella you're bleeding." George said worried. "You got that right." Ella said with a smile. Ella threw off her armor and pulled the shirt that she had gotten from Aafke over her head and pushed it against the back of her scull. Once more she was happy that she was wearing her bra. "We'll take a look at it when we're on the ground." Ella said trying to calm George down. He looked really concerned. "Be happy you don't have long hair." She said and George let out a small laugh. "Try to get some sleep." Ella kissed George on the head. "Nothing will hurt us this high up." George lay himself down, his head lay in Ella's lap and he slowly fell a sleep. Guess that's enough adventure for one day. Ella though and let out a sigh.
Ella had almost closed her eyes as she heard a voice. "Thorin!" Fili yelled. Ella's eyes shot open and she looked across the birds trying to find Thorin's. Suddenly she wasn't tired anymore. "Oh no…" Ella softly whispered to herself. Thorin was lying in the claws of one of the birds. He was either unconscious or dead and Ella feared the worse.
It wasn't much longer before the birds started circling a tall boulder. The birds dropped Thorin first then Gandalf and then the others. Ella and George were some of the last once and Ella felt relieved to see Thorin alive as Dwalin and Kili helped him up. But of course Thorin being Thorin he started growling at the Hobbit. Ella rolled her eyes as she could see Thorin was about to start yelling at poor Bilbo. "You!" He started. "What were you doing? You nearly got yourself killed." Ella stepped behind Fili, not wearing her shirt amongst the other made her uncomfortable. "Did I not say that you would be a burden? That you would not survive in the wild? That you had no place amongst us?" Ella held on to Fili's coat with her free hand as the other one still tried to stop the bleeding with her shirt. She looked at the poor hobbit and Thorin. The tension in the air felt like Thorin was going to throw him off of the boulder. "I have never been so wrong in all my life." Ella eyes widened in surprise as she saw Thorin hugging the hobbit. Everybody let out a cheer. Ella just placed herself against Fili's back and let out a sigh in relieve. "I am sorry I doubted you." Thorin said. "No I would have doubted me too." Bilbo said, "I'm not a hero or a warrior. Or even a burglar." He said looking at Gandalf.
Everybody turned around and gave the birds on last look before they flew away, everybody except for Thorin and Bilbo, who looked over to a distance. "Is that what I think it is?" Ella heard Bilbo say softly. Ella turned around and so did the others. Together the company walked closer to the edge. "Erebor," Gandalf said. "The Lonely Mountain. The last of the great dwarf kingdoms of Middle Earth." It looked beautiful from the distance. Ella wondered what it would look like from the inside. Or how it would have looked all those years ago. "Our home." Thorin said quietly. "A raven!" Oin said. "The birds are returning to the mountain." "That, my dear Oin, is a thrush." Gandalf said. "But we'll take it as a sign." Thorin said. "A good omen." "You're right, I do believe the worst is behind us." Bilbo said. They stood for a few more seconds in quietness staring at the mountain.
"Sorry to interrupt your moment of happiness of what ever." Ella said waving her hand. "But I could use some help!" She said quickly. Everybody turned around and face Ella. Ella felt her cheeks blush as everybody was staring at her. Gandalf walked over to her and patted her head. "Don't worry, my lady. You're fine." Ella removed her shirt and felt through her braids. The bleeding had stopped and Ella looked at her shirt. It was cover with blood and not just a little. "Don't think you could clean this too?" Ella asked Gandalf looking at her shirt. He shook his head. "Didn't think so." Ella said soft. "Lets hope that I can wash it out. Think that there's a chance that there are any drycleaners in Erebor?" Ella asked the others as she pulled her blood shirt over her head again. Fili looked at her with a brow raised in confusion. Ella sighed. "Never mind." Ella placed her sword around her belt and her ax on her back.
Ella kept looking down at her shirt as the others had placed themselves on top of the boulder. Ella's shirt kept sticking against her body and no matter what she would do it just kept on sticking back. Fili walked over to the obvious troubled and stressed girl and placed himself next to her. "Are you alright?" He asked laughing. Ella just looked at him. "Well let's see…" Ella started. "In the last forty-eight hours we have left Rivendell, been in a thunder battle with stone giants, I thought you almost died. Then we were chaste by goblins and you had a mini battle with the orcs as my hair went all avatar on me, we can't forget that Thorin almost died and then we flew away on giant birds!" Ella said quickly with eyes were wide. "Of course I'm fine!" She said dramatically. "And of course with the Lonely Mountain being, oh so close, the birds decided to drop us off on top of a giant rock in the middle of nowhere, instead of flying us the last couple of miles!" "Ella calm down." Fili laughed. "Just breath in and out." Ella ignored Fili and just kept rattling on. "And of course we also have to fight a bloody dragon!" "Ella would you stop talking?" Fili asked with a smile. "Why are you smiling?" Ella was obviously not okay. "It's not funny. Do you know how much we have been through these last couple of weeks?" Kili and George came running over. "When I said that I was going on an adventure I didn't expect this!" Fili, Kili George were now laughing at Ella. "Stop it!" Ella shouted. She didn't think that this was funny at all. "I have met every single creature I can think of. Dwarves, hobbits, wizards, trolls, wargs, orcs, giants, goblins and giant birds but please to tell me that there are werewolves and vampires here because then I'm gonna start crying!"
Fili placed a hand on Ella's shoulder pulling her close. Ella let out a long and stressful breath rubbing her face. "I need a soda." She softly said. Fili placed a kiss on her head. "What you need is to calm down." "Don't tell me what to do!" Ella said pulling back a bit. "I am a woman with issues! I need some M&M's." Fili put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer again. Ella put her head in her hands. "I really have a problem." She said looking at Fili. "Don't worry princess." Kili said with a smirk on his face. "We all ready know that." Every last person was now laughing at Ella. "I am not a princess!" Ella shouted and rolled her eyes "Why, in the name of Durin, does everybody have to keep calling me that?!"
