Third Person P.O.V.
Location: Dungeons

Some time passed and it was awfully quiet in the dungeons. Tauriel took a few of her fellow guards to investigate. She finally found the reason why the dungeons were so quiet. She and Her guards checked every single cell, and they were all empty.

The first person to come to mind was Earenniel.

"*Aphado nin!*" (*Follow me!*) Tauriel said and the guards listened to their captain.

Soon, they were in the company of Earenniel and she did not look too pleased with them barging into her room uninvited.

Earenniel POV
Location: Earenniel's Bed Chambers

Morning came too soon. I awoke slowly from my slumber as the rising sun began to pour in through my window. The sun rising was a beautiful sight. It was at the point where the darkness was fading and through the darkness, you can see the light from the sun trying to seep through.

The sudden noise of her door being forced open caused my attention to falter to my door where Tauriel stood in between some guards.

"Tauriel?" I asked questionably. What would cause her to storm in my chambers like this?

"Did you set them free?" Tauriel asked.

"Set who free?" I ask.

"Do not act as if you do not know, The dwarves have escaped." Tauriel accused.

"I took no part in their escape Tauriel." I say.

Tauriel though for a moment then turned around.

"Tauriel wait, I wish to come with you." I say.

"No, you can not, you are confined to your chambers till further notice." Tauriel said.

"You have no authority over me tauriel, besides I'm the best chance you have to find them. I know how they think." I say.

She thought about my words for a few seconds before nodding. We reach the dungeons in record time.

"Where is the keeper of the keys?" Tauriel asked as we headed deeper and further passed the cells, towards the cellar.

Third Person P.O.V.
Location: Thranduil's wine cellar

The Hobbit took them deeper into the earth, through a maze of halls and chambers. Bilbo led the company down into what appeared to be a wine cellar. Barrels were stacked on the floor. The air was musky and had the faint scent of alcohol and apples. The Hobbit pressed a finger to his lips and pointed at two sleeping elves slumped over a table.

"This way." Bilbo said, waving the dwarves toward the stack of empty barrels.

"I don't believe it, we're in the cellars." Kili groaned.

"You're supposed to be getting us out, not further in!" Bofur hissed. Bilbo shushed him. The hobbit pointed the group to a stack of empty barrels.

"Everyone climb into the barrels, quickly," he said. Tensions were high; Bilbo knew this was their only chance of escape.

"Are you mad? They'll find us." Dwalin growled.

"No, no they won't, I promise you. Please, please you must trust me." Bilbo reassured in a low whisper.

The company began muttering to each other, that's when BIlbo looked to Thorin for help.

"Do as he says." Thorin commanded.

All the dwarves moved into action. One by one they helped each other into the barrels.

"So what do we do now?" Bofur asked.

"Hold your breath." Bilbo said with an apologetic look.

"Hold my breath? What do you mean-" Then the barrels rolled and dropped down, splashing into the water below the cellar floor. The lift creaked up, now in its normal position. He began to stomp on the wooden platform but to no use. Voices were heard coming from the stairs and he began to panic moving to the farthest end of the lift. The lift opened up and he slowly slides down it into the river at just the right moment. Tauriel and Earenniel reached the bottom step in the nick of time to see the lift go back in its place.

Earenniel P.O.V.
Location: Outer Gate

Legolas and I emerge from a gateway near a waterfall. I spot my fourteen companions in the separate barrel's making their way down the roaring river.

"Holo in-annon!" (*Close the gate*) Legolas commanded and an elf comes from behind and blew a horn. I follow Legolas' lead down the river.

Third Person P.O.V
Location: River

As the Dwarves and hobbit rounded a corner in the river, the sound of the elf horn echoes behind them. They came face to face with a guard post built above the river. Heavily armored elven guards stood there and one of them pulled a lever, causing a heavy metal gate to block the barrels from getting through.

"No!" Thorin shouts out in rage, grabbing onto the gate and trying to pull it open.

The barrels pile into each other. The elven guards draw their swords in defense against the dwarves, but one is suddenly shot from behind with a black arrow. Orcs, I thought. Several growling orcs jumped over the guardposts walls, killing the elves. The other orcs came through the bushes, one of them revealing a pale Orc that takes a resemblance to Azog.

"Gorid! Zib! Goridug!" (*Slay them all!*) He said.

And at his command, the Orcs began throwing themselves at the company. The fighting has commenced. Bilbo manages to kill one with his weapon, and Dwalin elbows another in the face. Kili looks up and sees the lever the elven guard had pulled earlier. He manages to get out of his barrel and runs up the stairs toward the lever.

Earenniel P.O.V
Location: The River

Sensing a presence behind me, Without even thinking I brought my twin daggers up to block an oncoming blow from the orc behind me. I Twist my hand slightly once I felt my daggers go into something. I turn around fully to see that I buried my daggers deep into the orc's gut.

The orc grunts in pain as I pull out my daggers. He didn't even have time to check his wound before he turned into golden dust.

Legolas looks down at the Golden dust that was once an Orc.

"Celestial Bronze, it deals with the cleanup of monsters so you don't have to." I say.

"Now, let's go help my friends." I say running ahead of him.

I emerge from the bushes firing my arrows at the first Orcs I see. From the corner of my eye, I see a figure running up the stairs towards a lever. Though I couldn't make out who it was, I had a feeling it was Kili.

"Kili!" Dwalin calls out and I turn my head to see Dwalin tossing a sword to him. Nodding in thanks, Kili begins to fight his way to the lever.

As Kili fights an orc, another one leaps up from behind him, raising its spear to stab him. Fili throws a dagger, at the same time I embedded an Arrow in the orc's chest. The dwarves all stare at the Orc in surprise, as he turns into dust. Looking up, they sent smiles my way. went.

Upon being distracted by my fellow companions I failed to notice the pale Orc that fires at Kili. In slow motion, I watch the arrow hit Kili in the calf causing him to stops short in front of the lever, panting.

"Kili!" Fili shouts in anguish.

Kili groans in pain and strains to pull the lever but falls over onto his back. I watch as the Pale Orc that shares a resemblance to Azog, String another arrow.

"Kili." Thorin murmured. It was all anyone could manage to get out, his name. The shock of him being hurt was too great.

An orc leaps over to kill Kili, but an arrow suddenly embeds itself into the orc's head. Kili and looks over and sees Tauriel Emerge herself through the bushes. She shoots another orc, Then begins fighting the orcs with her knives then back to her bow, spinning it around and stabbing an orc in the gut with the end of her bow.

"Gor'-ash! Gor golginul! " (*Kill her! Kill the She-Elf*) The lead orc says.

"Not on my watch." I mumble.

Several orcs rush at Tauriel, but Legolas and other elves appear from the bushes and shoot them down. Protecting Tauriel.

As were all fighting the orcs, Kili manages to grab the lever and pull it, opening the sluice get and letting the dwarves in their barrels through. He then falls on his back again in pain. The dwarves in barrels fall down another waterfall and float down the river and the head Orc realizes the escape.

"*Khozdayin obguryash! Abgurid!*" (*After them!*) Bolg ordered loudly. Many of the orcs nod and take off down the river after the dwarves.

"Kili!" Fili cries out once more as he floats to the other side of the gate.

Kili manages to slide himself off the ledge and into his empty barrel below. As he lands in it, the shaft of the arrow in his leg breaks off on the edge of the barrel.

I follow the Dwarves downstream attacking any orcs in my way. Mostly ones with bow and arrow's because they are the ones that can do the most unseen damage.

Thorin and the rest of the dwarves try to paddle and steer with their hands but to no avail. The river is running too wild. As they come to a narrow part of the river, orcs on either side begin shooting arrows at them. They were easy to miss the dwarves, But I wasn't easy to miss them.

In the river, an orc leaps at Thorin, before he was able to use the sword he had in his hand to kill it, I did firing an arrow into the orcs spine. The Orc let out one last cry of pain before it dissolved into golden dust right before Thorin's eyes. Leaving the Orcs Golden remains flowing into the wind, some managed to flow onto Thorin.

An orc jumps from an overhanging tree branch toward Balin, but Thorin throws his sword and pins the orc to the tree. As the orc drops its weapon, Thorin catches it while floating beneath him, and he throws back to Bombur, who throws it to Nori, who throws it to Fili, who kills an orc with it.

An orc leaps onto Dwalin's barrel, only for Dwalin to headbutt it off and steal its ax. The dwarves were approaching a low-hanging tree branch stretched across the river in front of them, with several orcs on it.

"Cut the log!" Thorin calls out hitting it with his sword as he continued flowing beneath it.

Bofur also hits it with his weapon, and Dwalin was right behind him. Dwalin hits the branch with his ax, breaking it and causing the orcs on it to fall into the river.

"Bombur!" Dwalin shouted as he threw his ax to him
With the ax in hand, Bombur kills an orc that had just jumped onto his barrel. The Orc's spear ends up pinning it to an overhanging tree branch. The other end of the spear catches onto Bombur's barrel and catapults it through the air onto the riverbank, where the barrel rolls and tramples multitudes of orcs.

Eventually, the barrel comes to a stop, and orcs surround it. However, Bombur kicks out the bottom, then sticks his arms holding axes through the sides. He then starts spinning rapidly with the axes extended, mowing down all the orcs around him.

He then runs toward the river, then gracefully jumps into an empty barrel.

Meanwhile, Legolas, Tauriel, and the other elves have caught up with me. Joining the fight, running along the riverbank. Shooting their arrows and Swording down orcs.

Legolas leaps over the river and lands with a foot on the heads of two dwarves.

"Legolas!" I yell, but all he did was send me a small smirk as he hopped from one dwarf to another as if their heads were floating stepping stones.

He begins to shoot orcs on either side of the riverbank and I begin to do the same. He manages to skewer two orcs through the head with one arrow. Impressive, I thought. That is my brother for you. He's is a great archer.

Legolas continues fighting orcs, Still using the heads of my friends to get across the river. While he is preoccupied fighting an orc, another orc runs up behind him and raises its sword to kill him; Thorin, from his barrel in the river, throws his sword and manages to kill the orc behind Legolas.

Legolas and Thorin look at each other with some sort of understanding, and Legolas stops pursuing them as the dwarves continue floating down the river.

Every fiber in my being wanted me to follow them, but when I looked at Thorin his expression said it all. Thorin no longer wanted me in the company. His face was that of someone who was just betrayed. If only he understood why I did, what I did.

It wasn't to get out of the cell. I would gladly have stayed in the cells with my friends, but there was something I needed to do and I couldn't do it stuck in a cell for a thousand years. I was so close to getting the pearls, they were right in my reach. Just one second more and I would have opened the jewelry box.

Before Thorin was out of view, I nodded towards him showing him that I understand what he wanted.

It seems like all the orcs are dead. However, as Legolas watches the dwarves and floats away, an orc draws its bow and aims at him. I quickly deflected the arrow with one of my own and Legolas spins around in surprise. Tauriel then attacks the orc forcing it to its knees holding one of her knives at its throat.

"Tauriel, Dartho! Ú-no hono. Ho hebo cuin." (*Tauriel! Wait! This one we keep alive.*) Legolas told Tauriel as she held a dagger to an orc's throat. I watched from a distance as the survivors of the orc pack ran after the dwarves. I was ready to sprint after them, but Legolas stopped me from doing so by grabbing my arm.

I noticed Tauriel and the other Guards left with the Orc. Legolas and I were the only ones left.

"Let go." I tried to get me out of his grip, but my efforts of trying to get him to release me only made him tighten his grasp further.

"You are wanted by the Dwarves no longer, You saw the look as well as I, Earenniel." Legolas said saddened.

"I can convince them." I told him.

"You are an Elf, They are Dwarves. You have nothing in common with their kind." Legolas says.

"So what, I go back to your kingdom and act like everything is okay? Act like I wasn't banished from mother's Kingdom, Act like my only friends didn't leave me stranded. Mother wrote to me, she said this was a beautiful place, with loving and welcoming people, who knew a lot can change in a hundred years." I say.

"It has been longer than a hundred years Earenniel." Legolas says.

"How long?" I asked.

     "Over a thousand." He says.

     "Come." Legolas says.

       "I can not,"
