Chapter 12!
Start of recap...
"fuck there's Orcs" swore Calen holding her sword tightly.
[Bofur] "Watch out! Those are orcs!"
[Bolg] "Gorid! Zib! Goridug!" [ Slay them all!]
The orcs begin throwing themselves at the dwarves in their barrels; Bilbo manages to kill one with Sting, and Dwalin elbows another in the face.
Kili looks up and sees the lever the elven guard had pulled earlier.
He manages to get out of his barrel and runs up the stairs toward the lever. Unarmed, he ducks as an swings at him.
[Dwalin] "Kili!"
"Ki" whispered Calen as Kili fell to the floor.
End of recap...
Dwalin, who had managed to grab a sword from one of the elves or orcs, throws it to Kili, who then fights his way to the top of the stairs.
As Kili fights an orc, another one leaps up from behind him, raising its spear to stab him.
Fili throws a short sword or dagger and kills the orc, allowing Kili to fight his own opponent and kill it.
Bolg, noticing Kili, pulls his bow and arrows from his back.
As Kili reaches for the lever, Bolg fires an arrow, which hits Kili in the calf. Kili stops short, panting.
[Fili] "Kili!"
Kili groans in pain and strains to pull the lever, but falls over onto his back.
Bolg strings another arrow. Thorin looks shocked.
[Thorin] "Kili."
An orc leaps over to kill Kili, but an arrow suddenly flies into its head.
Kili looks over and sees Tauriel running through the bushes. She shoots another orc, then kills others with her knife.
"Tauriel" cries Calen, Tauriel and the elfs are here! Calen cheered.
[Bolg] "Gor'-ash! Gor golginul! " [Subtitle: Kill her! Kill the She-Elf!]
Several orcs rush at Tauriel; Legolas and other elves appear from the bushes and shoot them down.
As Tauriel, Legolas, and the other elves fight the orcs, Kili manages to grab the lever and pull it, opening the sluice get and letting the dwarves in their barrels through.
He then falls on his back again in pain. The dwarves in barrels fall down another waterfall and float down the river. Bolg sees them.
Calen then begins to swim getting closer and closer to the Dwarves,jsur as she touches the barrels she gets hit with a body falling.
It was an Orc
"ewwwwww" she made a disgusted sound and pushed the body of her she shivered and continued her journey behind the Dwarves and hobbit.
Huge time skip...
The river has calmed down, and the dwarves paddle along in their barrels with their hands.
With Calen laying on her back in the water the current calmly pushing her along.
[Thorin] "Anything behind us?"
[Balin] "Not that I can see."
"apart from me"
Everyone jumps at the childish voice, bilbo the happiest at seeing her, hugs Calen tightly as all the Dwarves relax.
[Bofur] "I think we've outrun the orcs."
[Thorin] "Not for long; we've lost the current."
[Dwalin] "Bofur is half drown."
[Thorin] "Make for the shore! Come on, let's go!"
they climb out onto a slab of rock jutting out a bit into the river.
[Dwalin] "Come on!"
When Kili is on the rocks, he falls to his knees in pain from the arrow wound in his thigh; it has been bound with cloth, but blood is seeping through.
Calen looks over at Kili and immediately runs over to him she tries to help him stop the bleeding.
Bofur looks at him concerned.
"Ki" said Calen sadly at the Young Dwarf, Ki smiles through the pain and ruffles the Elflings wet blonde hair.
"I'm fine squirt remember I'm a Dwarf" he said trying to reassure her, Calen smiles slightly and nodds her head.
Thorin walks over.
[Thorin] "On your feet."
[Fili] "Kili's wounded. His leg needs binding."
[Thorin] "There's an orc pack on our tail; we keep moving."
[Balin] "To where?"
[Bilbo] "To the mountain; we're so close."
[Balin] "A lake lies between us and that mountain. We have no way to cross it."
[Bilbo] "So then we go around."
[Dwalin] "The orcs will run us down, as sure as daylight. We have no weapons to defend ourselves."
[Thorin] "Bind his leg, quickly. You have two minutes."
Calen takes this chance to look around she sees a mountain, "it that-"
"-Erebor yes it is little one" it was Balin who inturuppted her,Calen looked over at the older Dwarf.
"awesome" she said.
While they bind Kili's leg, some of the dwarves sit down and Ori kneels by the river to empty his boot of water.
Unbeknownst to them, a man, Bard, sneaks up over the pile of rocks and aims an arrow at Ori.
As the dwarves realize a man is there, they jump up, and Dwalin, holding a branch, leaps in front of Ori.
He raises the branch and begins to charge the man, but the man shoots his arrow and it embeds itself right in the middle of the branch, between Dwalin's hands.
Kili raises a rock to throw, but the man shoots the rock out of his hand too.
Calen gasps as she sees whats happening its bard from Lake-town! She cries happy to see him.
[Bard] "Do it again, and you're dead."
Balin, who is standing near the edge of the group with Calen next to him, sees a barge floating in the river behind Bard.
He talks to Bard, approaching him slowly with his hands held in the air. Calen stands closely to him her hand gripping her small sword tightly.
[Balin] "Excuse me, but, uh, you're from Laketown, if I'm not mistaken? That barge over there, it wouldn't be available for hire, by any chance?"
Bard lowers his bow.
Bard climbs aboard his barge as the Dwarves and elfling approach.
[Bard] "What makes you think I will help you?"
[Balin] "Those boots have seen better days."
Bard begins loading the dwarves' empty barrels into his barge.
[Balin] "As has that coat. No doubt you have some hungry mouths to feed. How many bairns?"
[Bard] "A boy and two girls."
[Balin] "And your wife, I'd imagine she's a beauty."
[Bard] "Aye. She was."
Balin's smile fades.
[Balin] "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"
Calen nudges the older Dwarf in his ribs "Balin" she hissed.
Dwalin whispering loudly to Thorin.
[Dwalin] "Oh, come on, come on, enough with the niceties."
[Bard] "What's your hurry?"
[Dwalin] "What's it to you?"
Dwalin grunts as the Elfling hits his arm, glaring at him he bows his head to bard.
[Bard] "I would like to know who you are and what you are doing in these lands."
[Balin] "We are simple merchants from the Blue Mountains journeying to see our kin in the Iron Hills."
[Bard] "Simple merchants, you say?"
[Thorin] "We'll need food, supplies, weapons. Can you help us?"
Bard looks at the barrels and examines the various dents and nicks they received during the fight with the orcs.
[Bard] "I know where these barrels came from."
[Thorin] "What of it?"
[Bard] "I don't know what business you had with the elves, but I don't think it ended well. No one enters Laketown but by leave of the Master. All his wealth comes from trade with the Woodland Realm. He will see you in irons before risking the wrath of King Thranduil."
" also"he continues "you kidnapped an Elfling from his realm he won't be happy" siad Bard motioning to the Elfling next to Balin still.
The Dwarfs looked startled as the Elfling huffs childishly. "why does everyone suspect that I've been kidnapped by these Dwarfs" complains The Elfling.
Bard boards his barge and tosses a rope to Balin. Thorin mouths to Balin.
To be continued...
