Chapter 39
The Battle Begins
I was up before Nori and before the sun. I got dressed in my trousers, tunic, corset, and my favorite boots. I didn't feel like wearing armor. I heard movement behind me and turn to see Nori getting his tunic on. I came up to him and he took me in his arms, burying his face in my hair.
"I love you, Ella. Please don't lose your life in this battle and come back to me." Nori said.
"As long as you do the same for me." I said. Nori pressed his lips to mine and we kissed deeply. We came out of the tent hand in hand. I heard a familiar neigh ing and turned to see Midnight walking over to me. I hurry up to her and hug her head. "I missed you girl." Midnight nudges my head and I smile. My nephews were with the elves as archers. I should be with them, but decided to stay with Nori and his brothers.
Dori and Ori soon joined us and we walked towards where Bard and his men were.
"Bard? Your children?" I asked.
"They are with the women and other children in safety." Bard reassured me. I sighed in relief. I loved the children and was worried about them. I felt Nori press a kiss to my forehead.
"They are here." A man yells. I look and see the Army of orcs and wargs on the hill. Nori and I look at each other. Worry was etched on his face. I touch his face.
"For Erebor." I whispered.
"For Erebor." Nori, Dori, and Ori said. A roar came and the orcs and wargs came charging. Yells rang through the men, Elves, And dwarves let out yells and we were running. Arrows flew from the archers. I pulled out my sword and we collided with the enemy.
I don't know how long we were fighting but our enemies and allies were dying left and right. I was separated from Nori and his brothers. I sat on top of Midnight fighting. I stabbed a Orc that came at me. I heard a growl and a huge shadow knocked me and my horse to the ground. I rolled until I came into my stomach. A huge white warg stood there with blood soaked its mouth.
"No!" I cry out as it turned and went at Midnight, who had been struggling to get back up. Her cries as the warg ripped into her filled my ears. I screamed and ran at it. I stabbed it right through the head and it screamed in pain and died. I fell to my knees near Midnight's head and hugged her as she died. "I'm sorry, girl." She gave her last breath as she died in my arms.
I stood up and my elf eyes scanned the battle field. I saw my twin approaching Dain. I swore in elvish and ran fast towards Dain and my brother. I pull out one of my daggers from my belt and threw it as Byron shot an arrow that was poisoned at Dain and knocked the arrow away before it hit Dain. I got in between my brother and Dain.
"Ella?" Dain asked.
"Get away from here. He has orders to kill you. Go!" I yell. i didn't see Dain's look of surprise but I knew he left to help fight the battle somewhere else. "It's just you anod me, brother. You want me, not him." I spoke in elvish, pointing my sword at him.
"So be it, my dear sister." Byron said in elvish. We faced each other. The fate of both of us was about to be decided.
