Chapter 36
Captured and Released
I woke up in a tent and the memory of being hit rushed back to me. I sat up and regretted it for my head spun and hurt still. I saw that I was stripped of my clothes and put in revealing rags. I stood and hurried to the door but fell to the ground as something stopped me. I turned and saw that there was a chain on my foot. I cursed in Elvish.
Well it looks like the Elven Whore Princess is awake."A voice came. I turn to see Thranduil standing there.
You did this?" I ask.
Yes. I don't believe you that your mother gave you permission to marry that dwarf thief. You are my prisoner. You are to stay here." Thranduil said, anger and hate in his voice.
"I will not be held like a common criminal." I said.
"You have no choice." Thranduil said. He leaves. "Make sure she doesn't leave." I heard him tell the guards. I put my hands to my face as the tears came. First being deprecated from Nori with the banishment and now this. I was in more trouble then I thought I would be. I sat on the cot.
"Ella." A voice came. I turn to see Tauriel approaching me.
"Come to tell me that you don't believe me also?" I ask.
"No I believe you. I saw how you two love each other and how he protected you." Tauriel said.
"Thank you." I whisper. Tauriel smiled but it soon disappeared when the Elven guards entered and unchained me. I was pulled to my feet and dragged out of the tent. Elves looked on with pity and hate in their eyes. Bard stood there with two elves.
"Elladen! Elrohir!" I said, seeing that it was sisters sons.
"Ella!" Elladen and Elrohir said.
"Let her go." Bard said.
"Why do you demand her freedom when she dishonor to her kin by marrying a dwarf without her families permission." Thranduil said.
"She has all our permission. He's a good dwarf to her and makes her happy." Elladen said.
"I will believe it comes out of her mothers mouth." Thranduil said. I bit my lip to keep my mouth shut.
"Let her go. She's been the through a dragons stomach and now this. She doesn't deserve this." Bard said.
"Fine." Thranduil said. The guards pushed me and my nephews caught me before I hit the ground. "But don't expect me to treat you the same. You married a dwarf." I was led away to the men's camp.
"Let's get you in suitable clothes." Bard said, leading me to a tent.
"Ella!" Sigrid and Tilda said, hurrying up to me.
"I am happy to see you girls." I said as we hugged.
"Sigrid. Get her in clothes instead of these. Your welcome to stay with us. Gandalf told me that you were banished along with Bilbo." Bard said.
"Thank you." I said. Sigrid got me a dress of light purple and asked if she could brush my hair which I had agreed to. Tilda sat on my lap talking.
"Ella. What's wrong?" Tilda asked.
"Thorin doesn't want Nori and I to see each other. It's breaking my heart that I can't be with him." I said.
"I'm sure he will find away to come to you even if Thorin won't allow it" Sigrid said.
"Truly?" I ask.
"I've seen the way you two look at each other and how protective he is of you. It's true love." Sigrid said. I smile and I knew she was right.
"You can use this cot to sleep. You look tired." Bain said as he came in.
"Thank you." I said. I laid down, not sure if I could sleep without Nori. I just hoped Sigrid was right that he would come for me. I close my eyes to sleep.
Nori's POV. I was furious at Thorin with Ella's banishment and wanted to be with her but Dori told me to wait till everyone is asleep. I slipped quietly between sleeping dwarves. I head to the front gate.
"Nori. Wait." Dori's voice came. I turn to see him and Ori running up to me.
"Your not stopping me from joining Ella." I said.
"No. We're going with you." Ori said.
"What?" I ask.
"We don't agree with what Thorin did to her and your both family. We will go with." Dori said and Ori nodded. I smiled and nodded.
"Where could she be?" Ori asked.
"The men's camp. I don't think she would leave." I said. My brothers and I left Erebor to join Ella in the men's camp.
