Hey they guys! I'm so so sorry for not posting last week, I was just busy all week and didn't have time to get on to post this. So, to make up for it, I will be posting two chapters up today.

Also, just to warn you all beforehand, I'm not too sure when, but I will be pausing this story so that I can get on with writing the after story and getting a few chapters done before posting them. It probably will be in a few weeks time. I will remind you all again when it gets nearer to the time.

Chapter 19

Once I regain consciousness, Aiden's cry is the first thing I think of. In my panic to find him, I go to get up before realising all I'm doing is swinging. Feeling my limbs being pinned to me, my eyes snap open and I choke back a scream, as all I see is white and beyond the white veil are legs. Many long and spindly legs. . .spiders. . .giant ass spiders have caught all of us. Why did it have to be bloody spiders? I instantly start to have a panic attack, my two greatest fears being merged into one. Claustrophobia and arachnophobia. I try to keep myself calm, although my chest is hurting from how hard my heart is pounding against my ribs. I can only pray that Aiden is alright.

After hearing a loud thud, the spiders scuttle off into the trees, leaving one behind. My heart stops as I see it going towards one of the others dwarves hanging beside me. From here, I can see a little bit of Bombur's face poking through and can see he is terrified. That's when we hear the swipe of metal and tearing of flash as the spider hisses at whatever is hitting him.

"Here." I suddenly hear Bilbo's voice hiss.

I breathe a huge sigh of relief. He is safe, out of the trap and can get the rest of us down, which is what he does, all of us falling gently to the ground, the webbing cushioning our fall. As soon as I feel my back hit solid ground, I immediately begin squirming to try to get the webbing off.

"Get me out of this!" I cry out, my fear coming to full force.

"Sophia! I've got you!" I hear Thorin shout a few moments before I hear the thud next to me as he kneels besides me.

A few seconds later, the web covering my face is pulled apart and Thorin's concerned face is hovering above me.

"Are you alright?" he asks.

I nod as we get the rest of the web off. "Aiden. . .where is Aiden?"

"Over here!" I hear Kili calling out.

Jumping to my feet, I instantly regret it as I fall back to my knees, Thorin catching me just before I throw up what little we had to eat that day.

"Oin!" Thorin calls out to our healer.

He rushes over and does a quick check over, looking at the puckering wound I can feel on my back, which I now know is from the spider's stinger.

"It's the spider venom. Since she's human, her body won't be able to handle the venom like we can."

"Aiden. . .is he alright?" I ask as I stagger up.

"Kili and Fili have him. Come on, we need to get away from here!" Thorin calls out.

"Wait, where is Bilbo!?" Bofur yells.

"Up here!" Bilbo's voice calls from above.

Knowing he's alright, we all run on, Thorin helping me along since I can do nothing more than stagger along, my legs refusing to work. I manage to catch a glimpse of Aiden being carried by Kili and my heart stops once again as I pale. His limp body being held in the dwarves arms, his own face pale, paler than I've ever seen before. I instantly worry for my little boy, but I can't do anything for him while we're getting attacked by spiders.

Shakily pulling my sword out, I stand by Thorin's side as we defend ourselves against the spiders. Some of the others have to pull at a spiders legs as it manages to jump on Bombur, Fili defending Kili and Aiden from a spider that traps them. As we run on, Thorin soon stops and pushes me behind him as a spider scurries towards us. But then, as I look up, I see someone swinging around in the trees, falling down a string of web and killing the spiders, sliding under one as it slices at it from underneath before stopping before us, an arrow pointed at Thorin. Arrows are then aimed at all of us.

"Do not think I won't kill you dwarf, it would be my pleasure."

Looking in front of us, I see a male elf with long blond hair and blue eyes. Looking at this elf, I can't help but feel the tickling sensation in my head, knowing it isn't from the venom but from my mind trying to figure things out yet again. I have a strong feeling of deja vu. . .the same feeling I've been having since I came to this world. How do I know this elf when I've never seen him before in my life. . .or at least I don't think I've seen him before. . .

As the other elves get closer, we hear Kili's cries and I instantly worry for both him and my son.

"Aiden!"

"Kili!"

Fili and I both call out. If it wasn't for the fact that I can't stand properly, I would have barrelled straight through the elves and grab my boy. But since I can't, I have to settle for leaning against Thorin.

"Legolas, I found this boy with the dwarf." a female voice speaks up a few moments later.

Looking up, I see a red haired female elf carrying my unconscious son in her arms.

"He's my son." I speak up.

The blond elf that saved us from the spiders looks to me in surprise, as if he is truly seeing me properly for the first time.

"I have no love for dwarves, but even I did not think you would resort to kidnapping."

Feeling Thorin tensing, I answer before he can, taking his hand to keep him calm.

"The dwarves did not kidnap me, or my son. We travel with them of our own free will."

He looks me over for a few moments, not saying anything before turning to two other elves.

"Take her and the boy inside. They need seeing by a healer."

They nod and as one of them takes Aiden from the female and another comes towards me. Thorin growls as he puts an arm around me to try to protect me, to which I place a gentle hand on Thorin to try to soothe him, causing him to look to me.

"I will be alright, Thorin. He is right, Aiden and I need seeing to, the spider venom still affects us. We'll be safe, I'm sure of it."

He looks to me for a few seconds before nodding as he steps back, close to keep me from standing and away enough for the other elf to carry me inside, the elf carrying my son following close behind. While in the arms of the elf, fatigue and exhaustion from the days events hit me all at once and I soon end up passing out.


Thorin watches as Sophia and Aiden are taken away from them. . .away from him. . .he hopes that Sophia is right and they will be taken care off. His attention is then brought to the other elves begin to search the dwarves.

An elf confiscates two of Fili's many knives. Legolas pulls a picture frame with two pictures out of Gloin's pocket.

"Hey! Give it back! That's private!"

Legolas looks at a picture of a dwarf.

"Who is this? Your brother?"

"That is my wife!" Gloin snarls, offended by the elves words.

Legolas looks at the other picture, which is of a dwarf child.

"And what is this horrid creature? A goblin mutant?"

"That's my wee lad, Gimli."

Legolas raises his eyebrow at Gloin in contempt.

Meanwhile, the elf searching Fili finds even more knives all around his person. Fili sighs when the elf finds even some in a secret hidden pocket.

Legolas turns to Tauriel. "Gyrth in yngyl bain?"

"Ennorner gwanod in yngyl na nyryn. Engain nar." Tauriel replies.

Fili opens his jacket to show the elf searching him that he has no knives left; however, the elf finds another one hidden in Fili's hood. An elf hands Legolas Thorin's sword, Orcrist, and he inspects it.

"Echannen i vegil hen vin Gondolin. Magannen nan Gelydh." He glares at Thorin. "Where did you get this?"

"It was given to me."

Legolas points the sword at Thorin's throat.

"Not just a thief, but a liar as well. Enwenno hain!"

The elves immediately begin shoving the dwarves along. As he passes Thorin, Bofur turns to him, asking quietly.

"Thorin, where is Bilbo?"

Thorin instantly looks around at this, feeling guilty that he has only just now realised their hobbit is missing. He can do nothing however as he is soon pushed along like his kin.

They are all marched through the forest and towards the gates of Mirkwood palace, crossing over a bridge that is over a roaring river.

"Holo in ennyn." Legolas orders while the others go in.

Just as he is about to enter, he turns as he hears something behind him, but after seeing nothing, he goes inside, the gates closing behind him. Unbeknownst to him, the other elves and the dwarves, Bilbo, while using his magic ring to become invisible, had managed to sneak past them all just before the gates had closed behind him.


Well, there we have it. Everyone is in Mirkwood now. Sophia and Aiden are getting seen too while the dwarves are heading for the dungeons. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter xx
