Review responses;
CrystalVixen93 - I am glad you are enjoying this story. Here's the next chapter for you, which I am quite happy about.
Sugarbee25 – I'm glad you are so understanding. I am fine now, just going through some bad times at home atm.
Thank you, I'm glad you like it. Violet will remember everything now thanks to the spider, didn't find a good enough place to put it in, so thought I'd just say it here. As for how she will be treated by the elves. . .you will find out. Tauriel is going to be just a minor in this story. Unless I decide to bring her in later as a friend for Violet. I don't know yet.
majesticlunicorn (Guest) – I watched it, and didn't really understand it to be honest lol!
I'm glad you think so highly of this story, it makes me feel happy that I am doing so well.
I always watch the movies as well as reading the scripts, which really do help, but there are just moments where I don't get in the mood to right when depression hits. Which is a bummer.
You should at some point. I find it very theraputic and it gives me an escape from real life.
Your questions will be answered below;
What are you going to do with Tauriel? - Not sure yet. Will know more as I go along.
Can violet plz change into her human form after she gets stung by the spider? - Sorry, she's staying as wolf.
What's Thranduil gonna do when he finds a Skin Changer in his backyard? - Nothing really as 1) the elves will think of her as a normal wolf and 2) didn't have any plans for it.
Can there be more parts where they're just like wow, poor Violet? ( if u know what i mean) – We'll see lol
Can Violet wake up BEFORE the dwarves are captured? - They all wake up at roughly the same time and are captured together.
Is this comment too long? - No, not at all. I like long comments.
Can violet get knocked out because she got thrown against a rock wall (in her human form) instead of because she got bitten by a spider? - Nope. Gunna be getting jabbed by a spider stinger that knocks her out.
Are those spiders red backs? (guess where I live) – Australia? Lol! I'm not sure what kind of spiders they are. . .don't really care to know to be honest *shivers* can't stand spiders.
You don't have to answer this, and im not a stalker, im just a really weird person who likes to know which country people live in dont ask why coz if u do i cant answer u , but what country do you live in? - UK
Why is your writing so AWESOME? - Ha! I have no idea! I never really thought my writing was awesome. Thank you for thinking so.
Can u write Lord of the rings fan fictions too? - I don't think I need to answer this as you have written a review for I See the Light, which is a Lord of the Rings fanfic.
Am i creeping you out? - Not at all :D
MayorOfSimpleton – I am happy you love reading this as much as I do writing it. I have to say, apart from Faron (A Light in the Darkness and I See the Light), Violet is my favourite character to write. Can't really say much about Mina (To Love a Son of Durin) as I am only three chapters into that nor Caladwen (True Love Conquers All/A Love Unexpected) As I am rewriting her story.
I have my wife to thank for the grammar situation as she double checks my writing and helps me out, although it is only a few mistakes each chapter, which makes me proud :D Here's the next chapter for you! Hope you enjoy!
Do you mean the line Dwalin says in I See the Light? As that can be the only Harry Potter reference I know, unless I put one in this story that I don't know about?
MonkeyGirl13 – Here's the next chapter, please enjoy xx
The Dungeons of Mirkwood
The first thing that comes to me when I come to is the sound of clicking. A familiar clicking which sends shivers through my body as I remember what happened before I passed out. Opening my eyes, I see nothing but white. I realise then I am trapped in a cocoon of a spiders web, no doubt along with the others.
"Kiilll theemm. Kiill theemm." I hear one of the spiders speak.
"Eat them now."
"Their hide is tough. There is good juice inside."
"Stick it again! Stick it again! Finish it off!"
I suddenly hear one of the others kicking out, causing the spiders to cry out.
"Ahh! The meat's alive and kicking!"
"Kill them, kill them now. Let us feast."
The rest of the spiders take up the chant, "Feast! Feast!"
I then hear the sound of something being thrown in the distance, which causes the spiders to stop and I hear them scuttle away.
"What is it? What is it? Kill it! Feast! Feast!"
One spider stays behind.
"Fat and juicy. Just a little taste."
My eyes go wide as I realise the spider is advancing on Bombur. Before I can try and escape however, I hear the swish of a sword and the spider hissing before crying out in pain.
"Curses! Where is it? Where is it?!"
"Here!" Bilbo's voice speaks up.
My heart soars in relief and joy as I hear the Hobbit, so relieved to know he is alright.
"It stings! Stings!" The spiders cries out before I hear it fall.
"Sting. That's a good name. Sting."
I hear Bilbo moving among the trees and using his newly named sword to cut us down. I feel my stomach churn as I feel myself being lowered. When I hit the ground, I wiggle my legs to try to get free.
"Vi!" I hear Kili's voice before seeing his face as he rips the webbing from me.
I stagger up nuzzle my head into his chest, relief filling my whole being at seeing him alive and well.
He chuckles as he wraps his arms around me.
"I'm glad you're alright too, Vi. Come on, let's all get out of here."
I nod as I stand, nuzzling Fili as he comes over.
"Where's Bilbo?" Bofur shouts out as he realises the hobbit is missing.
"Bilbo!" The dwarves call out.
"I'm up here!" Bilbo's voice calls from above us.
As the other dwarves free themselves, we all run off to try to escape, only to be surrounded by the returning spiders. We fight against the spiders, the dwarves with their various weapons and me my teeth and claws. Bombur is knocked to the floor by a spider, and it stands over him to bite him.
"Grab a leg!" Dwalin yells out.
Seven others join him and grab each of the spider's legs.
"Pull!"
The dwarves pull at the spider's legs, and they manage to pull its legs right off its body. The dismembered body of the spider lands on Bombur.
"Kili!" I suddenly hear Fili yell out.
Spinning around, I growl as one of the spiders wraps its many legs around Kili. Fili and I run in and attack it, allowing Kili to take the kill.
We finally manage to defeat the spiders, and are running through the forest. More spiders jump down on threads of silk in front of us and hissing away. Thorin raises his sword in preparation to fight, but pauses and looks up. Also looking up, I see a blonde Elf run through the treetops, then swings down a spider's silk in order to land on it and kill it. He slides on the forest floor under the spider facing Thorin, slicing it in half, and comes up kneeling with an arrow nocked in his bow and pointed at Thorin. Several other Mirkwood elves appear, drawing arrows and pointing at us. I growl slightly at the arrow in my face.
"Do not think I won't kill you, dwarf. It would be my pleasure." The blond says to Thorin.
Knowing we are completely surrounded and outnumbered by Mirkwood Elves, all with drawn bows aimed at the dwarves.
"Help!"
My ears prick up and my heart drops at the sound of Kili's panicking voice
"Kili!" Fili cries out.
I growl and tear past the elves, knocking some aside in my haste to reach Kili, as I see a spider pulling him away by the foot. I leap over Kili and on top of the spider, causing it to drop my dwarf and turns it's attention onto getting me off it.
"Vi!" Kili cries out as he steps back.
I lean down and bite down on the spiders head, feeling my teeth sink into it's flesh and killing, only to yelp as another spider turns up, swinging it's leg at me and knocking me aside before pouncing.
"NO! VI!" Kili screams out.
I am on my back, pushing up with my paws to keep the spider from biting me, while keeping the stinger away with my back legs.
"Throw me a dagger! Quick!" I hear Kili shout out to someone I can't see.
"If you think I'm giving you a weapon, dwarf, you're mistaken!"
The next thing I hear is the swish of a blade and grunting as the spider falls on me. A few moments later, there is relief when Kili removes the spider and helps me up.
"Vi, are you alright?"
I nod as I nuzzle him, relieved that he is alright. He holds me close until he is pulled up. Looking behind him, I see a female elf with red hair, wearing a long green tunic, green leggings and brown knee high boots. She carries a quiver on her back along with a few daggers, her bow in her hand.
As she pushes Kili on, I step in between them, growling at her to step back, which she does as she stares at me in surprise. I glare at her before allowing Kili to lead me to the others, a hand on my head. I'm not going to allow anyone to hurt my beloved.
Once we reach the circle of dwarves, Fili hugs Kili close, then hugs me, muttering his thanks for saving his brother. I just lick his face before the leader of the elves orders the others to search the dwarves.
I have to resist growling at the elves as they come close to Kili and I, searching him for weapons. I grin as an elf spends quite a long time searching Fili and pulling knife after knife from him.
"Hey! Give it back! That's private!"
Hearing Gloin shout, I look over to see the leader looking through a silver portrait holder that contains pictures of his wife, Breanna and son Gimli.
"Who is this? Your brother?" The leader asks disdainfully.
"That is my wife!" Gloin replies in outrage.
He then looks at the other picture, which is of Gimli.
"And what is this horrid creature? A goblin mutant?"
"That's my wee lad, Gimli."
The elf raises his eyebrow at Gloin in contempt. I have to glare at him as he is insulting Gloin's family. I know that elves and dwarves have not gotten along with each other in a long time, but there is no reason for him to be so rude and insulting to people who are innocent and are not even here.
I inwardly laugh as the elf searching Fili finds even more knives all around his person, sighing when the elf finds even some in a secret hidden pocket.
"Gyrth in yngyl bain?" The leader suddenly asks the elleth.
"Ennorner gwanod in yngyl na nyryn. Engain nar."
'That's an understatement.' I think to myself as I think of the spiders that surrounded Radagast's home months ago.
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 the leader, who I now know to be Legolas, son fo Thranduil thanks to the els as he is passed Thorin's sword, Orcrist, and he inspects it.
"Echannen i vegil hen vin Gondolin. Magannen nan Gelydh." Legolas looks to Thorin with pure hatred on his face. "Where did you get this?"
"It was given to me." Thorin simply replies.
Legolas points the sword at Thorin, which causes me to step forward, wanting to attack Legolas, but Kili stops me.
"Not just a thief, but a liar as well. Enwenno hain!"
"What of the wolf, my lord?" one of the elves asks.
Legolas walks over and looks over me, bending down to do so. I bare my teeth and snap at him in warning. He takes a step back, glaring at me before he turns to the elf.
"Muzzle it."
I yelp slightly as the elf grabs me by the scruff of the neck and pulls me back, causing Kili to call out to me and being held back by another elf. As the elf keeps hold of me, another ties a rope around my head before tying it around my snout to keep me from biting out.
I could easily get out of this by changing back to my human form, but not wanting to reveal myself, I stay as a wolf, pawing at the rope to try to get it off. The dwarves cry in outrage at how I am treated before they are silenced as Legolas as he gives the order to take us away.
"Thorin, where's Bilbo?" I hear Bofur say to Thorin.
Looking around, I also see our hobbit is missing. I instantly worry about him and hope that, wherever he is, he is safe.
After we are led inside the kingdom, apart from Thorin, we are all taken down into the dungeon, the dwarves being roughly shoved into separate cells, a couple sharing. The elf who searched Fili finds another large dagger hidden in his coat, causing the blond dwarf to sigh in frustration before being locked up.
The elf who has me leads me over to another cell and as soon as I see it, memories of my imprisonment with Azog instantly comes to mind and I start to panic as I start barking and growling, jumping back and pulling away, doing anything I can to keep from going in there, the elf in charge of me trying to drag me inside.
"Stop it!"
"Leave her alone!"
The other dwarves start shouting at the elf and also trying to give me some comforting words, but none get through as the fear hits full force.
"Wait! She's scared of being locked away and alone! Please, let her come in with me!" I hear Kili call out.
There's a moment's pause as the elf who has me looks to someone behind me, whether it's Kili or not I don't know as my eyes are fixed on nothing but the cell in front of me. Soon enough, the elf walks away from the cell and I am put into the cell with Kili before the door is shut tight, after the rope is taken off.
Kili wraps his arms around me as he holds me close. I hear him thank someone and I turn to the door in time to see the red haired elf nod before she walks away. I nuzzle my head into Kili's chest as I hear the other dwarves banging at the doors as they try to break out.
"Leave it! There's no way out!" I hear Balin shout out before the banging stops. "This is no Orc dungeon; these are the halls of the Woodland Realm. No one leaves here but by the king's consent."
"Are you alright, Violet?" I hear Kili ask.
I nod as I snuggle closer to him, laying on his lap as he sits on the ground and I growl in contentment as he runs his fingers through my fur.
Some time later, the guards bring Thorin down and he is thrown into a cell, the jailer leaving with the keys.
"Did he offer you a deal?" Balin asks.
"He did. I told him he could go, Ish kakhfê ai'd dur rugnu! Him and all his kin!"
I don't understand what he's said, but it must be bad after hearing Balin sighing in frustration.
"Well. . .that's it, then. A deal was our only hope."
"Not our only hope."
It's then I remember Bilbo is still out there and hope that he is able to get us out of here. . .somehow.
I don't know how long it has been since we were captured by the elves; hours? Days? Weeks? But all I keep thinking about it that we need to get out soon somehow if we want to get to the mountain in time.
Once I know that the elves are nowhere in sight, I change back into my human form as I stretch out on the ground, laying my head in Kili's lap, causing him to smile at me as he runs his fingers through my hair. After a few moments, the gentle massage causing me to doze off to sleep.
I wake up to being jostled ever so slightly. Opening my eyes, I see Kili tossing a stone in the air and catching it.
"What is that?" I ask curiously.
"It is a talisman. A powerful spell lies upon it. If any but a dwarf reads the runes on this stone, they will be forever cursed."
He quickly holds up the stone towards me, I just grin at his teasing. He then speaks again, in a laughing manner.
"Or not, depending on whether you believe that kind of thing. It's just a token."
Kili has a fond smile on his face, which causes me to give him a soft smile.
"A runestone. My mother gave it to me so I'd remember my promise."
"What promise?"
"That I will come back to her."
I continue to smile at him as he looks to the stone.
"She worries. She thinks I'm reckless."
I let out a bark of laughter, making him look to me.
"I like your mother already. She has some sense when it comes to you."
He lets out a noise of indignation as he pokes me in the stomach, causing me to giggle slightly.
I hold my hand out to the stone. "May I?"
He nods as he places the stone in my palm. Holding it in my fingers, I look it over to see it being a blue stone with a marbling effect with a mixture of dark blue and black colours running through. It has dwarven runes carved into it, which I cannot read.
"What does it say?"
"'Return to me.'"
I just smile as I continue looking over the stone.
"Sounds like quite a party they're having up there."
Looking up to the ceiling, I smile as I hear the excited voices and music of the elves. Running through the dates in my head, I smile more as I remember the celebration.
"It is Mereth-en-Gilith, the Feast of Starlight."
Kili looks to me. "How did you know that?"
"I read about in Rivendell. Wood Elves love best the light of the stars. . .just like my people."
"I always thought it is a cold light, remote and far away."
I look at him as I speak. "It is memory, precious and pure. Like your promise." I smile as I hold up the stone, he smiles back as I lift my head to the ceiling again, lost in memory. "Before Azog attacked our home, I remember one clear and calm nights, when the stars would shine bright, we all would gather in the fields nearby, light a fire and play music, sing songs, dance and just be merry. Those nights used to be the best of my life."
Kili gives me a sad smile as he gently brushes a lone tear that escaped my eye.
"I saw a fire moon once. It rose over the pass near Dunland, huge; red and gold it was, filled the sky. We were an escort for some merchants from Ered Luin, they were trading in Silverbuck for furs. We took the Greenway south, keeping the mountain to our left, and then, this huge fire moon, right in our path. I wish I could show you."
I smile up at him. "I wish I could have seen it. It sounds amazing."
Kili smiles as he holds me close. I look back to his stone as I roll it around in my fingers a few times.
"Kili. . .will your mother like me?"
He turns to me and looks me in the eyes as he speaks sincerely. "Of course she will. She will love you as much as we all do. Even more so when she hears of the deeds you have done for us."
"And. . .she will be alright with us being together? Even though I am not royal or of nobility?"
He shakes his head. "No, she won't. She is a princess and she married a miner. She'll care as much as I do, which is not at all."
I smile in relief as I hold the stone out to give back to him. He looks to it for a moment before shaking his head and closes my fingers around it.
"Keep it. As a promise that no matter what, I will always return to you."
I smile in happiness and hold it close as I cuddle into him, allowing him to wrap his arms around me. I sigh as I close my eyes, feeling him place a kiss on my head before I fall into a blissful sleep, dreaming of our future together.
Awwww! I love Vi and Kili together! They're so cute! Stay tuned for the next chapter and keep leaving your lovely reviews!
