Chapter 27
Visions and Leaving
The week went fast, but Nori and I spent most of it in bed together and came down to spend time with the dwarves. I spent it reading while curled up to Nori as he smoke his pipe And we talked to our friends. Thorin was planning the trip to the Mountain and it was decided that Kili would stay behind not to slow us down and Fili, Oin, and Bofur were going to stay with him. Nori wanted me to stay but gave up after I threatened him with sleeping in another bedroom for a month if I didn't go.
The night before. The dwarves threw a party and all of them were drunk. I shook my head at their antics as I sat on the windowsill with Winter curled up in my lap. I ran my hand through her fur. Nori got drunk thanks to Bofur. I looked out at the stars and Laketown as I enjoyed the talks and stories from the dwarves. I leaned my head against the windowsill and just closed my eyes.
Vision.
I stood in Laketown. It was peace and quiet with people celebrating. A dragon suddenly flies over and the town is in flames with screams and cries.
I sat up fast and was out of my seat heading for the door. The dwarves were all passed out on the floor. Winter was close to my heals as I stepped outside and close the door. I slip through the shadows to get passed the watch people. I reach Bard's house and bang on the door.
"Ella. What are you doing here? Come in." Bard said, letting me in and we sat at his table and I told him my vision.
"This is what I feared but no one will listen." Bard said.
"If we can't stop the dragon then we will need you to finish him off." I said.
"Your going with?" Bard asked. I nod.
"I go with my husband and friends and family. Only four are staying behind. Could they stay with you? I don't trust the Master." I said.
"Yes. You better get back. It's close to sunrise. The others will wonder where you are." Bard said. I left the house quickly and headed back to the house. Alfrid and the Master were already at the house with guards to give the dwarves and Bilbo their armor. I refused the armor as I grab my bag. I come out looking for Nori.
"He's over there, lass. He's looking for you." Dori said with a knowing smile. I returned it and hurried to find my man. Nori saw me and I smile at the sight of him.
"Like what you see?" Nori asked.
"Yes. I do." I said, wrapping my arms around Nori. Nori pulled me against him.
"Where were you? I missed you." Nori said.
"Went for a walk. You got drunk last night." I said.
"It won't happen often." Nori said.
"Good." I said.
"Move out." Thorin said. I grab Fili.
"Bard has offered you a place to stay." I said.
"Thanks. You stay safe." Fili said.
"You too." I said. I walked with Nori and his brothers to the boat that will take us to the Mountain. We arrived and I helped hand the supplies to Dori and Dwalin. I knelt next to Winter and stroked her ears. "Stay with Fili and Kili. I don't want you dragon food." Winter licks my hand as the Master speaks And runs to Fili. Nori helped me get in the boat. I sat next to him with his arm wrapped around me.
"Good fortune to You." The Master said and the dwarves get the boat moving as the crowd cheers. I close my eyes hoping to stop the dragon and my vision from happening. We were finally heading to the Mountain.
