Chapter 6
New Sword, Radagast, and Rivendell

I helped the dwarves get free from their sacks and looked away as they got dressed. Fili hurried over to me and took my shoulders in his hands.

"You alright?" I ask.

"We are. Are you?" Fili asked. I hugged him. He was surprised at first, but hugged me back.

"I'm fine." I said. Fili pulled back and smiled at me.

"I thought I told you to stay back at camp." Fili said.

"I got worried when you didn't come back. So I came to look for you." I said. Fili opened his mouth to say something when Thorin shouted.

"There's a troll cave somewhere nearby. Let's go." Thorin called. I walked with Fili and Kili as we looked for the troll cave. We found it and I nearly gagged from the smell.

"Oh what's hat stench?!" Nori asked.

"It's a troll hoard. Be careful what you touch." Gandalf said. I stayed out with Fili, Kili, Balin, and Bilbo. I stood near the entrance.

"You alright?" Bilbo asked.

"I'm fine, father. You are just as bad as Fili when it comes to my safety." I said.

"Well I have to. I'm your father." Bilbo said. I nod and he goes to sit near a rock. The others come out and I saw Thorin was carrying a new sword.

"Bell." I turn as Gandalf came up to me. He held out a sword. "I thought you would like a sword. Its an elvish blade. It will glow blue when orcs or goblins are around." I took it.

"I don't know how to use it though." I said.

"I'm sure the Durin Princes will give you some lessons." Gandalf said with a wink. He goes to Bilbo to give him another sword like mine. Fili and Kili came up to me.

"You got a new weapon?" Fili asked.

"I did, but I don't know how to use it." I said.

"We'll teach you, won't we, brother?" Kili asked.

"Of course." Fili said with a smile. I smile back at him, our eyes never breaking, until...

"Something's coming!" Thorin yelled. Fili pulled out his sword and I followed by grabbing my bow as I kept my sword in its scheth. Fili grabbed my hand.

"Stay together! Hurry now. Arm yourselves!" Gandalf called. Kili kept to my back as Fili pulled me along into the woods. I could hear the rustling of something coming and it was coming on us fast. We stopped and Fili pushed me behind him. A man on a sled led by rabbits came in the middle of us.

"Thieves! Fire! Murder!" The man yelled. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Radagast! Radagast the Brown." Gandalf said. He pushed through the dwarves and comes up to his friend. "Ah. What on earth are you doing here?"

"I was looking for you, Gandalf. Something's terribly wrong." Radagast said.

"Yes?" Gandalf asked. Radagast opened his mouth then opened it again. It looked like he lost what he thought he was going to say. Bilbo and I looked at each other.

"Oh, just give me a minute. Um, oh, I had a thought, and now I've lost it. It was, it was right there, and now I've lost it. It was, it was right there, on the tip of my tongue." Radagast said. He curls up his tongue and looks surprised. "Oh, it's not a thought at all, it's a silly old..." Gandalf pulls a stick insect out of Radagast's mouth. "Stick Insect!" Radagast and Gandalf went off away. I struggled with putting my sword on my belt.

"Here. Let me help you." Fili said. He took the sword and strapped it to my belt on my hip.

"Thank you." I said. Fili's hand rubbed up my hip. I looked up at him and saw him looking at me with a smile on his handsome face. He leaned down and I leaned up to meet him. We were just about to kiss when a wolf howl came. We looked around and I got my bow ready.

"Was that a wolf? Are there... Are there wolves out there?" Bofur asked. Bofur steps in front of Bilbo, holding his hammer. Fili pulled me close to his body.

"Wolves? No, that is not a wolf." Bofur said. I scream as a warg appears above us and leaps in the midst of the dwarves, knocking down Bombur. Fili pulled me close as Thorin puts his sword into it, killing it. Another warg appears behind Thorin and runs down. Kili shoots it down with an arrow and Dwalin put an axe in it's head, killing it. I was shaking as Gandalf and Radagast came back to us.

"Calm down, Bell. I got you." Fili whispered, rubbing my back. I calmed at his touch.

"Warg scouts! Which means an Orc pack is not far behind." Thorin said.

"Orc pack?" Bilbo said. Gandalf storms up to Thorin, looking angry.

"Who did you tell about your quest beyond your kin?" Gandalf asked.

"No one." Thorin said.

"Who did you tell?" Gandalf asked.

"No one, I swear. What in Durin's name is going on?" Thorin asked.

"You are being hunted." Gandalf said. I looked up at Fili with a look of fear on my face. Fili kissed my forehead to calm me down, which it did.

"We have to get out of here." Dwalin said. Ori and Bifur appear on the hill above us.

"We can't! We have no bolted." Ori said. Bilbo groans and walks away.

"I'll draw them off." Radagast said.

"These are Gundabad Wargs, they will outrun you." Gandalf said.

"These are Rhosgobel Rabbits, I'd like to see them try." Radagast said. Gandalf finally agreed and we heard the wargs and orcs getting closer. Fili let me go, but took my hand.

"Stay with me and I'll protect you." Fili said. I kiss his check. I didn't see him blush and Kili smirk at us. We hurried out and behind the rocks as the wargs ran into the forest, but Radagast burst from the woods with the wargs and orcs right behind him.

"Come and get me! Ha ha!" Radagast said. We watched him ride off with the enemy right behind him.

"Come on!" Gandalf said. We ran across a rocky plain. Fili never let go of my hand and I was able to keep up with him. Bilbo ran with us and Kili right behind me. We saw the wargs not to far from us. We hide behind rocks. Fili held me close. "Stay together."

"Move!" Thorin said. We continue to run. I was loosing my breath and Fili sensed it.

"Hold on, love. We'll stop when its safe." Fili said. I didn't question what he called me as we stopped behind some rocks.

"Ori, no! Come back!" Thorin says, grabbing Ori before he ran past the rock and pulls him back before he could be seen by the wargs.

"Come on! Quick!" Gandalf said. We continue running. We take cover behind an outcropping of a rock. Fili pulls me against his chest. I heard claws on the rock above us and sniffing. I bury my face in Fili's fur on his coat as Kili stepped out with bow ready. I heard the warg scream in pain and a body hit the ground, followed by an orc screech and dwarf yelling and medal hitting body. Fili pulled me closer. I heard yells.

"We've been caught." I said, pulling away, but keeping my hand in Fili's.

"Move, Run!" Gandalf yelled. We run through a grassy plain. I scream as I see wargs coming from all sides surrounding us. Fili tightens his hold on my hand.

"There they are!" Gloin yelled.

"This way! Quickly!" Gandalf yelled. We run a while longer and come into a clearing. We saw wargs on all sides of us.

"There's more coming!" Kili shouted. Fili let go of my hands to pull out his twin shoulders.

"Kili! Bell! Shoot them!" Thorin yelled. Kili and I pulled out our bows and start shooting the wargs and orcs. I hit an orc dead in the head. I kept calm knowing I've killed animals and it was like killing them.

"We're surrounded!" Fili yelled.

"Where is Gandalf?!" Kili yelled.

"He has abandoned us!" Dwalin called. I shot a warg that was coming right at Kili, hitting it in the head.

"You amazing." Fili said, keeping an eye on the wargs.

"Thank you." I said, shooting arrow after arrow.

"Hold your ground." Thorin called.

"This way, you fools!" Gandalf yelled. I turned and saw Gandalf popped out of a crack in rocks. The dwarves and Bilbo were sliding down as Fili and I ran together to the rocks. He helped me slide down. I get to my feet as Gandalf finishes counting.

"Kili! Run!" Thorin yelled. I turned to see Thorin, Fili, and Kili weren't with us. Fili comes down, followed by Kili and Thorin. I helped Fili stand up. Fili ran a hand down my check.

"Remind me not to get you mad. I would hate to be at the end of your arrow." Fili said.

"Don't worry. I know you won't." I said, smiling up at him. A horn suddenly blows and we turn to where we slid down. We heard fighting and screeches of dying orcs from outside. Fili pulls me behind him as an orc slides down. The dwarves get ready to attack him, but he is dead with an arrow through its chest. Thorin pulls the arrow out.

"Elves!" Thorin said, throwing it down and glares at Gandalf.

"I cannot see where the pathway leads. Do we follow it or no?" Dwalin asked, standing near a pathway.

"Follow it, of course!" Bofur said, running towards the path with the others right behind him. Fili puts a hand to my back and leads me towards the pathway. We follow it.

"You got a good shot." Kili said as we walked.

"Not as good as you." I said.

"I say you both are equals." Fili said.

"He's right." Kili said with a wink. I smile as we come out and look down into a valley that a home laid in the middle with waterfalls around it.

"Wow." I whisper.

"The Valley of Imraldis. In the Common Tongue, it's known by another name." Gandalf said.

"Rivendell." Bilbo and I breathed. We were now among the elves. A dream come true for me and Bilbo.

AN: We are in Rivendell. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Till next time
