Chapter 34
All Healed, Elves, and Their Return
A few days later. After arguing and convincing Nori and Oin. I was up and moving with no pain. Fili and Kili were happy I was alright. We were sitting around a fire and I was wrapped in Nori's jacket with Tilda sitting on my lap.
"You are one lucky lass." Bofur said.
"Yeah surviving inside the stomach of a dragon." Fili said.
"Leave her alone lads. You should know better." Nori said, wrapping an arm around me and pulling me close to his side. I lay my head on his shoulder. I felt him rest his head against mine.
"The elves. They are here." Men shouted. I groaned.
"They know Uncle took the Mountain." Kili said. I stood up after setting Tilda to the ground and storm towards where I knew Thraunduil would be with the dwarves and Bard on my heals.
"For a lass that was just injured. You move quite fast." Bofur teased. I shot him a death glare and he quivered away.
"Lass. You should take it easy." Oin said.
"I am fine. Ribs are now just sore. Stop your fussing. Your worse than Nori at times." I said. I stormed to where Thraunduil stood talking with Legolas and Tauriel. "Thranduil. A word." Thraunduil turned as we all came to a stop in front of them.
"Ahh. The elf that survived the stomach of Smaug. I was wondering when you will grace me with your presence. And surrounded by your dwarves. Why do you stay with them when you should be with your kin?" Thraundruil asked. I had to grab Nori's arm from stopping him from going after Thraunduil.
"They are family to me now after I married one of their own." I said.
"I don't belive you and who would the dwarf be." Thraunduil said with wide eyes of surprise.
"That would be me." Nori said. Thraunduil's eyes land on him. My hand was still on his arm and Bofur moved on the other side of Nori to help me restrain him if needed.
"So the thief. I don't think your mother would be happy that you married a dwarf." Thraunduil said.
"Actually she approves and was there when we were married." I said in a cold voice. Tharunduil's face hardened at my words. Nori looked tensed and I could feel it in his arm. "Relax love." I said in his head. I felt him relax and he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me close to his side.
"If you say so." Thraundruil said.
"What are you doing here?" Fili asked.
"I got word that Throin reached the Mountain and I come to get what he stole from me." Thraunduil said. Nori and Bofur had to grab Fili before they could attack the Mirkwood King.
"You really think Thorin would give it to you. Your highly mistaken." I said.
"That's why we are going to talk." Thraunduil said.
"Good luck with that. Let's go back to camp." Nori said. Bard stayed to talk to the elves.
"We need to head back to the Mountain now." Kili said.
"I agree." I said.
"Let's go now." Bofur said. We grabbed our things. I had to say goodbye to Sigrid and Tilda.
"We'll see you again? Won't we?" Tilda asked as I held her in my arms.
"Of course. I plan on living in Erebor." I said. Tilda hugged me and I returned the hug. I saw Nori watching us with a smile on his face and I smiled at him. I set Tilda down and hugged Sigrid. I hurry up to Nori.
"You will make a good mother in the future." Nori said.
"So will you as a father." I said. Nori gave a small smile and we walk hand in hand to where our friends were waiting.
"Ready to go?" Oin asked.
"Yes." I said. We hurried towards the Lonely Mountain. We stopped a few times to catch our breath. I stayed at Nori's side as we walked. We came to the ruins of Dale and we knew we were almost to the front gate. Nori held my hand as we approached the gate.
"Who goes there?" Bilbo's voice came.
"Its us." Fili called.
"Open the gate. The rest of the Company is here." Bilbo yells. The gate opens and we hurry across the bridge and through the door. The door shuts behind us.
"Ella!" Dwarves yelled. I was pulled into a hug instantly by Dori and Ori.
"You scared us quite a lot, lass." Gloin said.
"We're glad your alright." Dori said, with a smile.
"Just go easy on me. My ribs are still sore." I said as I was passed from dwarf to dwarf to be hugged. Thorin stood in front of me.
"We thought you were a goner when the dragon swallowed you. You surprise me every day, Ella and I'm glad you joined our Company and now married to one of our kin." Thorin said. To my surprise, Thorin pulled me into a hug. "Come. We will eat. We're already starting to rebuild Erebor." Thorin led all of us to the dining hall. I was happy to be with my friends and family. But how long is this happieness going to last when the elves and dwarves come looking for what was promised.
AN: There's the new chapter. Now they are back in Erebor. From the trailer, it looked like they were starting to rebuild Erebor before the Battle of the Five Armies. Let's hope I'm right on that. LOL. I'll update soon. :)
