Remember We'll Be History

Twenty-One: Laketown & Masters

Laketown

Bard was worried about the meal that his oldest was helping to cook. He knew that tonight would be one of those that he would dream of bread to make him less hungry.

"Da, you seem worried," Sigrid told him getting him out of his thoughts.

"I'm alright," Bard told her. He didn't want to mention that he was worried that the Master would come and give them an unwanted visit. He was not blind to see that his oldest was eligible to be married and some of the men had come a-knocking.

'She will not go to them,' he smiled when he heard Mina.

'I know we won't, but things are getting more dangerous,' he mentioned. Part of him wanted to leave go to Rohan, Bree or try his luck in Gondor, but he didn't know if he could do it.

"We're going to be alright Da," Sigrid told him.

"You have nothing to worry about," Bard told her. They got everything ready to for dinner. Bard was noticing as his children ate and he made sure they didn't notice that he ate less so not to worry them that Mina was acting weird.

'Are you alright?' he asked.

'Yes, I got a message from Kate it seems we have a new ally,' Mina told him. It was rare to see an old soul in these parts.

'That sounds odd,' Bard told her. He didn't notice that his children were looking at him. They knew that their Father was an Old Soul it wasn't spoken of as the Master had killed an Old Soul because they had begun to wake the people at the corruption. So, when he got quiet and they couldn't hear their 'Momma Mina' they knew she was giving information.

'Well she isn't giving me the entire information, but she did mention that well things are going to change,' she told him.

"It doesn't sound to encouraging, the last time things changed I ended up giving my soul up,' Bard told her, she just smiles and kissed his forehead.

Mirkwood

As Bella was getting her stuff ready, there was someone that wanted to speak with her alone. Thranduil moved toward the Hobbit's room and knocked on the door, personally.

"How can I help you?" Bella asked She was surprised toe know that the King of Elves himself was outside her door.

"I came to see if you would be interested in a drink?" Thranduil asked but the smile he had was teasing and daring her to refuse.

"I believe, I have time," Bella said and walked out of the room. They both didn't notice that Nori had waited on Thorin's orders just to be safe. At the same time, he didn't know that Sherlock had seen him and so had Kate,

'Why did the King asked us to be follow?' Kate asked Sherlock and both Bella and Thranduil could not hear them

'The Dwarf doesn't trust elves,' Sherlock said. 'Bella is known to be cared for greatly by the older race,'

'Ah, he fears to lose her to them,' Kate said with a smile. 'Don't tell Garrett, he will be insufferable and will be teasing the poor Dwarf,'

'We can make him get lost,' Sherlock said to her.

'Well we are going somewhere that we use magic,' Kate told him, and Sherlock noticed that Joan felt went the barrier came up.

Thranduil and Bella walked into a room and he draped himself in the chair and looked at Bella.

"I had them bring some wine,"

"It's fine with me, but are you going to drink before battle?' Bella asked, Thranduil served her and she saw that it was water.

"Sometimes, people not knowing what their leader is drinking," Thranduil said and Bella smiled. It reminded her a little bit of Mycroft.

"How can I help you?" Bella asked.

"I actually have questions for you," Thranduil told her. "How did you do it?"

"Do what?"

"Get the heart of such a Dwarf," Thranduil told her.

"I don't know," Bella told him. Thranduil was surprised by that answer but he really looked at her and could see it. He was not kidding when it was, he mentioned that time did not affect him. So, he remembered seeing Thorin when he was young and the way that he was.

"Well we are about to cause chaos," Thranduil said causing Bella to raise her head.

"Really?" Bella asked with a smile because she could read him easily now.

"It's not like it's the first time," Thranduil said with a laugh. Thranduil came close to Bella.

"We will have to save a lot of lives," Thranduil told her.

"Are you ready to get out of your bubble?" Bella asked. Thranduil turned to her and the smile he gave her it was teasing as if she was seeing something that no one else was able to see.

"Are you?" Thranduil asked.

"I'm always ready for the challenge," Bella told him.

The Dwarves were not happy about having to go inside the barrels, mainly because it was the Elves that had the idea. The plans had begun, and the barrels had been reinforced on the inside so that they wouldn't notice.

"Thorin." Dwalin said.

"Belladonna will be with Ori, my friend," Thorin said.

"Thranduil has given his word that he will protect the barrels," Thorin said.

"He is not known to keep promises," Dwalin told him

"He will keep this one, I found some information that we didn't have before," Thorin said. It was true, his Grandfather had not known that Thranduil was an Old Soul. It was like the most guarded secret out there, with Bella he had gotten some information that could be useful, because now they could speak to the old Soul and reason with them about the choices Thranduil made.

"Well I trust ye laddie," Balin said.

"Let's get going," Nori said. "I feel sorry for ye,"

"Oh, but Ori will she be safe?" Dori asked.

"She will be safe with us," Legolas responded surprising them.

"Prince Legolas," Thorin said.

"My Father mentioned that we have to get ready," Legolas told them.

"Prince Legolas!" they all turned to the red head, who stopped and seemed to show worry in her face.

"What is the matter?" Legolas asked.

"Orcs have been sighted," Tauriel told them.

"We need to get going, now," Legolas said.

"Get in the barrels," Thorin said the Dwarves moved and climbed into their barrels. The Dwarves went on the barrels and some of the Guards help put them in. Thorin was helped inside by Legolas himself

"We will get your Lady to you," Legolas told him.

In the darkness of the area things were stirring and someone who Bella knew and would be surprised to still see alive was fighting there. He was about to meet someone that was going to collide his worlds.
