Chapter 26
Kili, Orcs, and Wages. Oh my!

Nori and I were out of bed in a heartbeat and getting dressed.

"I'm sorry, love." I said. Nori pulled me tight against him.

"Don't worry about it. He's our friend and needs help. Let's go help him. Besides. You got a week to make it up to me." Nori said. We hurried down the steps.

"Sorry to interrupt your wedding night but we didn't know who else to turn to." Thorin said as I hurry up to the bed that Kili was laying on. All the dwarves looked sober and awake. How I wasn't sure.

"It's fine. I need to see his wound. Dori. Help me." I said. Dori and I quickly got to work unwrapping the bandage from his leg. I cried out at the sight of it.

"Ella. Calm down." Nori said, placing his hands on my shoulders.

"There's black ooze coming out of his leg." Ori said.

"You stubborn dwarves. You should have made me look at it better and I would have caught it right off the bat." I said.

"What is it?" Fili asked, who never left Kili's side.

"Poison from the arrow my brother shot at me. It was meant for me." I said. I heard gasps and worried whispers. I stood and faced the dwarves. "I need Kingfoil. It's the only thing that can stop it. Mom trained me and Arwen how to help save people from this. I need someone to find me it and fast."

"I'll go. I'll ask around." Bofur said, then he disappeared. The dwarves sat to wait as Dori and I cleaned Kili's wound as we waited. I let out a tired sigh as Oin went into the kitchen to boil water as I was told to relax. I looked at Nori as he sat with Ori and Balin. He gave me a wink and a smile. I returned.

The door burst open and I spun to see orcs coming in. I grab my sword from where it sat as Fili tackled one that was coming at Kili. The dwarves were on their feet with weapons drawn, ready to fight. I stood in front of Kili to protect him and killed a orc that came to close. I jumped when a Orc came through the roof and landed on the table. I stabbed it right through the chest before it got to Kili. I saw Nori fighting an Orc not far away from me. I saw an Orc come through the door but it froze as a dagger came through its chest.

"Tauriel." I said with a smile. She returned it as Legolas came through the hole in the ceiling. I was not looking forward to explaining to the Master why the house is damaged. I fought along with the dwarves and the elves from Mirkwood to kill the dwarves. I heard Kili's cries of pain and turn to see a Orc pulling him off the bed. I threw my dagger that I had hidden and it hit the Orc square in the head. All the dwarves hurry to Kili. I was stopped by Legolas.

"You don't belong here with these dwarves. You need to come." Legolas said.

"Ella. We're loosing him." Oin said.

"Ella." Bofur said, hurrying over with Kingsfoil.

"No. I belong with my friends and husband. Go." I said turning. Tauriel and Legolas left. "Get him on the table." I ordered. Dori helped me crush the plant as Thorin, Fili, and Nori lifted Kili and set him on the table.

"you sure about this?" Oin asked. I nod and walk up to Kili.

"Hold him down." I said. Thorin. And Fili held Kili down by the shoulder and Nori and Bofur held down his legs. I closed my eyes and crushed the plant more in my hand as I began to speak in elvish putting the plant to his wound, "May the blessing that was given to me be sent from me to him, may he be released from death." Kili trashed as I worked and chanted. I got the arrowhead out as I look at Kili to see him watching me.

"Thank you." Thorin said. I give a tired smile and nodded.

Nori's POV. I watched as Ella wrapped Kili's wound.

"I heard about the wonders of Elf magic. It was amazing to witness." Dori said.

"You choose well, lad." Gloin said.

"There's still time to do wagers." Ori said.

"Wagers on what?" I ask raising an eyebrow.

"On when your first child will be conceived. I bet ten coins it will be during the quest." Bofur said. Other dwarves started betting. I look to Ella and saw she was asleep on her feet almost.

"Get your wife, lad." Balin said. I get up to go get her.

Ella's POV. I was so tired that I would fall asleep while standing. I felt sting arms scoop me up and Oin take my spot.

"You did well Ella. Go rest. I got it for now." Oin said. I bury my face in Nori's neck as he carried me to our room.

"Sorry to ruin or wedding night." I whisper.

"Don't worry about it beautiful. You got a week to make it up to me." Nori said, kicking the door to our room open and lays me on the bed. He pulls me against his chest and I fall asleep as soon as I was in his arms.

AN: I made that part into my own with Tauriel's chant not changed but Ella in her place. I'll update soon.
