Chapter 13

Who's ready for the chase scene? I sure as hell am not but the show must go on. Id probably be dead if I ran this much. I would fall within the first few minutes. Ironic isn't it. I'm a dancer and I used to do athletics yet I get a stich in my side when I run. Welp God really  took his time with me. Anyway Enjoy my lovely readers.

Third Pov

Radagast appeared out of the forest on his sled. He got the orcs attention as they chased after him on their wargs. The company waited a bit before running into the large vast field. Gandalf was leading them to who knows where. The girls stuck near Bilbo to make sure he was safe. They made sure to stay out of sight using the rocks and boulders as cover. The girls were struggling to keep up, mainly because they are completely unfit. Renee almost fell but Kili caught her, helping her up. He grabbed her hand to make sure she didn't fall behind. Fili did the same with Kate who was struggling as well.

Lilith's Pov

We kept running. I was near the front with Thorin when he stopped. I noticed Radagast coming a bit closer. I was worried the orcs would spot us but they were so focused on Radagast that they didn't even notice.

"Stay together."

Gandalf said with a grave expression. We turned and continued running. I looked to make sure my sisters were alright. I sighed in relief that Fili and Kili were with them. Bilbo was also keeping up so I focused on running. We ran until we got to a large boulder. I could hear the orcs as they moved closer. Ori ran past me, almost getting spotted.

"Ori, No!"

Thorin pulled him back by his collar just in time. I grabbed and pulled him next to me. He looked at me and nodded. I smiled at him in reassurance.

"Come on. Quickly."

"Where are you leading us?"

Gandalf didn't say anything. I knew we were going to Rivendell. If Thorin knew he'd be pissed. We all ran until we noticed the orcs closer. We ran to hide behind a huge boulder. I was between Bilbo and Dwalin. Renee was in front of me next to Thorin. My guess is to shoot the son of a bitch above us. We heard the warg snarl above us. We held our breaths. I reached for Bilbo's hand, squeezing it tightly. Thorin then looked at Kili, nodding towards his bow before turning to Renee and doing the same thing. Renee and Kili looked at each other, giving silent confirmation. They both quietly drew their arrows. They then ran out, shooting. Renee shot the orc and Kili the warg. Renee shot it again, seeing the horn in its hand. The rest of the dwarves killed them but unfortunately not quietly. It alerted the others, causing them to stop chasing Radagast and turn in the direction of the noise. Gandalf stepped out and realised that they caught on to us. My sisters and I looked at each other. We knew what was about to happen.

"Move. Run."

We all ran, following after Gandalf. My sisters were near me which I was very grateful for. The orcs got closer and closer.

"There they are."

"This way quickly."

We kept following Gandalf. Eventually, they surrounded us. I took out my axe and Kate took out her sword. We got closer together. I made sure Bilbo was behind me.

'They're coming."

"Kili, Renee shoot them."

"We're surrounded."

Kili and Renee started shooting. I moved closer to the rest of the group.

"Where's Gandalf?"

"He's abandoned us."

"No, he hasn't. I refuse to believe he'd just leave us. Have faith, mister Dwalin."

Kate kept looking ahead at the orcs but she made a point. Ori used his slingshot but it didn't do much.

"Hold your ground."

Thorin unsheathed his new sword and got into position. I stayed close to him. Something telling me that I had to. Anyway back to our life-or-death situation. Renee kept shooting and moved closer to Kili.

"This way, you fools."

I turned to see Gandalf behind a boulder. I sighed in relief. I knew that the old man wouldn't leave us. Soon everyone started running for the tunnel. I stood near the entrance. I had to make sure everyone was safe. Kate went down after Balin. So one down, one to go. I noticed one of the wargs coming this way, heading towards Thorin. I ran in front of him. I felt something inside me burst. Like something awoke. I put my hands out. Vines wrapped around warg, strangling it. I pushed until I knew when it was dead. My hands fell to the side, blood trickling down my nose. I felt completely worn out. I almost fell but Thorin caught me, pulling me to his chest. I didn't protest because I felt so safe in his arms. Thorin looked at me with concern before passing me to Fili. I looked up and noticed that Kili and Renee were still out there. I couldn't let anything happen to them. Thorin noticed as well.

'Kili, Renee. Run"

They ran towards me, Renee saw me and ran to me. I just gave her a look of reassurance but she knew something wasn't right. Fili held me as we went down together. Kili and Renee came down with Thorin following after us. I sighed. Everyone was safe. My father and sisters were safe. I managed to stand up and walked to Kate who immediately brought me in for a hug. Renee and Bilbo joined us. Then we heard a horn. We all looked up. We moved towards Gandalf who looked at us. Renee gave him a bit of a side hug.

"I knew you wouldn't abandon us."

Gandalf returned the hug, smiling at us before turning his attention to the body that rolled down into the hole. It was an orc with an arrow sticking out. Gandalf poked it to make sure it was dead, which it was. Thorin walked around it, pulling the arrow out.

"Elves."

He threw it on the floor, angrily before looking at Gandalf.

"I cannot see where the pathway leads. Do we follow it or not?"

"Follow it, of course."

"I think that would be wise."

Renee's Pov

We walked along the path, squeezing through the tight gaps. I stayed near Lilith. I was worried about her. I've never seen her like this. Hopefully, it's nothing too serious. I should also thank Thorin and Fili for looking after her. I have no idea how long we've been walking but I do know I want to sleep for a year. My legs are like jelly. I can't even feel them. Kate slowed her walking when she noticed me groan. She put her arm behind my back just in case my legs gave out. As we got closer I could feel so much power. It washed over me, making all my worries slowly disappear. We finally made it to the end of the tunnel and walked to the end.

We all walked to the edge, looking at the beautiful city before us. Papa walked next to us and Lilith leaned her head on his shoulder.

"The Valley of Imladris. In the common tongue, it is known by another name."

"Rivendell." The girls and I smiled as Bilbo looked in amazement.

"Here lies the Last Homely House East of the Sea." I smiled at my sisters. I couldn't wait to explore this place.

"This was your plan all along. Seek refuge with our enemy." And Thorin went back to his brooding. I swear he's worse than me when I'm on my period. Fuckling jackass.

"You have no enemies here, Thorin Oakenshield. The only ill will to be found in this valley is that which you bring yourself."

"You think the elves will give our quest their blessing? They will try to stop us."

Of course, they will. But we have questions that need to be answered. If we are to be successful, this will need to be handled with tact and respect. And no small degree of charm, which is why you will leave the talking to me... and possibly Renee and Katherine."

I tried not to laugh at Lilith's face. I turned to Thorin.

"Look, do you want that map read or not? Put your pride aside for once. Listen to Gandalf. He knows what he's doing." Thorin looked at me with a glare. I literally couldn't care less making me stare at him with a bored expression. Gandalf gave me a smile and wink, making me grin. We made our way down and walked along the bridge. My sisters, Bilbo and I looked around at the beauty of this place. It was like a dream. Absolutely beautiful. We made it to the entrance and noticed an elf walking our way. Lindir was walking down the stairs, a hand behind his back. I got excited. I've always wanted to meet an elf and now I can. I can't wait to meet Lord Elrond. The dwarves were talking amongst themselves. Fili and Kili came to stand by us.

"Mithrandir."

"Ah, Lindir."

"We heard you had crossed into the valley."

"I must speak with Lord Elrond."

"My lord Elrond is not here."

"Not here. Where is he?"

All of a sudden we heard a horn and horses galloping on the bridge. I turned to get a better look but the girls and I were pulled into the middle of the dwarves.

"Close ranks."

I was irritated. Trust them to be overdramatic. I wanted to push my way through but Lilith gave me a look. I groaned in annoyance and just stood there. The horses had surrounded us. As the horses stopped, the dwarves lowered their defences a little, making me pull my sisters out of the circle. I turned and saw Lord Elrond on his horse.

"Gandalf."

"Lord Elrond, My friend. Where have you been?"

"We've been hunting a pack of orcs that came up from the South. We slew a number near the hidden pass."

He walked to Gandalf, hugging him. He then holds up a weapon, probably one of the orcs that he killed.

"Strange for orcs to come so close to our borders. Something or someone has drawn them near."

"Ah, that may have been us." Gandalf turns to the company. The girls and I moved closer to him. Thorin steps forward. Lord Elrond seemed to know who he was.

" Welcome Thorin, Son of Thrain."

"I do not believe we have met."

'You have your grandfather's bearing. I knew Thror when he ruled under the mountain."

"Indeed he made no mention of you."

The girls and face palmed, sighing. Why must he always make everything so difficult? Fucking Asshole. We shook our heads in annoyance at Thorin's comment. Lord Elrond turned towards us.

"And who are you?"

"I'm Renee Griffin, that is Katherine Baggins but you can call her Kate and this angry Pomeranian is Lilith Everdeen. Nice to meet you, my lord. By the way, Nice place you got here. I'll definitely come here when I need a vacation."

"Thank you, my lady. It is a pleasure to meet you as well."

We smiled at him. Unlike some people, we have actual manners and don't insult the people who saved us because of race. Lord Elrond turned to the group of dwarves.

"Light the fires, bring forth the wine. We must feed our guests."

The dwarves grew bellicose and gripped their weapons uneasily. Gloin jumped forward, raising his axe.

"What is he saying? Does he offer us insults?"

Lilith facepalmed as she turned to the group.

"No you fucking imbeciles, he's offering you food, And I don't know about you but my sisters and I are hungry as fuck."

My sisters just rolled their eyes at the dwarves' antics. The dwarves circled up, discussing with one another in low whispers. Gloin turned back to Elrond, disgruntled.

"Well, in that case, lead on."

We followed lord Elrond. He gave my sisters and me a room to share. We put our stuff down. It felt so nice to know we would sleep in actual beds tonight. We asked one of the aids where the bathes were. We got our toiletries and some simple spare clothes and followed her. We then got undressed and into the nice, soothing water.

"This is so nice. We haven't had a bath since we started this fucking quest. I can finally die happy."

We got cleaned up, washed our hair and got dressed in some clean clothes. We got our stuff and walked back to our room. When we got back, we decided to rest a bit before dinner. We cuddled together on the bed. Thank God it was big enough to fit all three of us. We fell asleep. I have never felt so peaceful. I'm definitely coming here for vacation.

Well that was interesting wasn't it. Lilith was able to kill a warg using vines. I bet she didn't even know she could do that. I wonder if Renee and Kate can do something cool like that. Who knows. I plan to follow the book for the rest of the time in Rivendell. So they will be staying for 14 days. I plan to switch between the books and the movies just to make it more interesting. This will also allow the girls more time to train and get used to their weapons. Anyway I hope you enjoyed that. 

Elvish will be in Italics.
