Recap-
"The barrels you saw, leave for Lake Town in a few hours." I informed him.
"I will sneak down their, with you and the Dwarves and pull the lever. Making sure you escape as well."
"What if they notice that you let us go?" The Hobbit asked.
"I have a plan for that too, don't worry."
"Thank you for your help...erm,"
"Tauriel."
"Right, I'm Bilbo of The Shire."
"Nice to meet you, Bilbo."
"Likewise."
"Now, shall we free the Dwarves and yourself?"

Bilbo snuck down towards the dungeons, with the keys Tauriel had given him while the other Elves were distracted.
"I wager the sun is nearly on the rise. It must be nearly dawn." Bofur spoke, sadly.
"We're never gonna reach the mountain, are we?" Ori asked.
"Not stuck in here, you're not." Bilbo replied appearing at Thorin's cell.
There were many cheers of "Bilbo!"
"Shh! there are guards nearby!" He replied.
He one by one released the dwarves, all but one were happy to leave. And that Dwarf, was Kili.
"Up the stairs." Thorin ordered.
"You first." Dwalin insisted.
But, Bilbo lead them to another path...
"Not that way, follow me."
They snuck into the cellars where all but one Elf were snoring away, drunk. And that one elf was Tauriel.
"About time you made it! I was getting worried." She whispered as they descended the stairs.
"This way, Tauriel showed me a way out. Come on." Bilbo ordered.
They followed one by one.
"I don't believe it. We're in the cellars! You were supposed to be leading us out, not further in!" Bofur whispered.
Bilbo almost groaned.
"I know what I'm doing!"
Thorin studied the elf as he walked past. Wasn't she the one that kept visiting his nephew?
"This way, this way." Bilbo led them to the barrels.

Tauriel heard shouts, shouts of the Elven guards discovering the Dwarves missing.

"You must hurry. They're coming. They discovered that you escaped." Tauriel informed them.
Bilbo's eyes widened. "Climb into the barrels, quickly."
"Are you mad? They'll find us." Dwalin questioned him.
"No, no, no they wont. I promise you. Please, please. You must trust us."
Bilbo and Tauriel looked to Thorin, pleading. "Please, your highness this is no trick. I swear on my life."
And for once, he trusted an Elf. He saw how Tauriel and Kili acted. It was love. They were each others One though they might not have known it yet. And it physically hurts the other half to put their One in danger, so why would Tauriel do so when she was in love?
Thorin nodded, and whispered. "Do as they say."

There was one barrel left.

"You get in too, Bilbo." Tauriel whispered, helping the Hobbit into the top barrel.

She went to stand by the lever, looking at Kili and all the other Dwarves peaking out.
"Goodbye Kili." Tauriel whispered.
He whispered "Goodbye" in return.
"What do we do now?" Bofur, the one with the funny hat asked - Kili had described them all to her.
She sighed. "Hold your breath, master Dwarf. And pray that Mahal is on your side this day."
"Hold my breath, what do you mean?" He asked. I pulled it and they all went sliding down the ramp.
They screamed. 'Oh good lord..' She thought.

I raced back up towards the steps and into the hallway as if I had never been down their and pulled out my daggers, acting suspicious of my surroundings

I raced back up towards the steps and into the hallway as if I had never been down their and pulled out my daggers, acting suspicious of my surroundings. I went to find the Guards, as I knew the screaming could be heard through out the  Thranduil's Halls. "Where is the Keeper of the Keys!?" I noticed the Keeper just awakening from his nap in the cellars. And I interrogated him. "What happened to the keys? How did you lose them? Did you set the Dwarves free?" My voice climbed with each question. "No, Captain. I did not. I swear. They were on the hook last I saw." My eyes narrowed.

I had to send word to Legolas that the Dwarves had escaped, whether I helped them or not... It was my duty to inform him.

Soon, Legolas, I and my small Troop of Elves were on the hunt for the Dwarves. I prayed to Eru that they wouldn't get caught.
Legolas ordered an Ellon with a horn to "Shut the gate!"
"No..." I whispered, ahead of everyone else. Seconds after shutting the gate, an orc arrow hit a fellow soldier.
The Dwarves were sitting ducks.
I saw Kili getting out of his barrel to release the gate. My gut knotted. 'I have to protect him.'
One of his kin tossed him a weapon, but that wasn't enough, an orc that I had missed hit him with a arrow to the leg. My heart stopped. 'Kili' I shot any incoming threats, now mad and determined. 'No one hurts my dwarf.' I thought to myself. Then paused, startled at my thoughts.

I heard a snap bringing me back to reality, and a yell for him from his brother. 'The arrow broke.' It distracted me from my opponent, leaving me temporarily weaponless, ripping my bow out of my hands and into the river. I growled. 'Daggers will have to do.'

While chasing the Dwarves, I spotted one of them get tossed ashore. 'Bombur was it?' He started fighting through the barrel, having kicked the bottom free holding a weapon in both hands spinning like a top. I was impressed.
Shortly after that, Legolas used their heads to fight the orcs on, like stepping stones.
'Really, Legolas?' I thought smiling. He always did like to show off his skills in front of strangers...

While Legolas was in mid-battle with an Orc, one crept up behind him and was about to slay him. Thorin threw an Orc-ax at the attacking Orc. I was busy on the other side of the river with my daggers, bow long gone.
Legolas noticed the King having killed the sneaky orc and gave him a nod of gratitude.

Another one attempted to kill him and I threw a dagger, sending the arrow flying elsewhere.
Using a branch to cross the river,
I put my other dagger to his throat.
"Tauriel, wait."
"This one we keep alive." He ordered.
And so, we brang him back to Thranduil's Halls to be questioned.

I apologize for the lack of updates, my seizures are still daily and my fiancé and I are sharing a tv when he wants to use his PS4 online (x-mas gift, so he's kinda addicted, as am I... 😵🙄)
The seizures aren't caused by gaming, they're more random and caused by stress or lack of sleep.
