Colliding with the unexpected

Orcs and Dragons

Kili lay in a bed in so much pain as his face pained Amanda's heart. She tried so hard to help m by holding his hand and placing a cold cloth onto his head.

" shh, shh." Amanda tried to calm him from his screams of pain. Beads of sweat poured from him. Amanda took off her quiver and bow placing it down, making it easier for her to move about.

"Ah! Ugh! Argh!" Kili yelled thrashing around on the bed. Bofur fills a blow with hot water and rushed over to them.

"Can you not do something?" Fili's asked out loudly. Fearing for his brothers life.

"I need herbs, something to bring down his fever." Oin said looking at Kili's leg. Bard searched through a bag of medicines picking out bottles as he went.

"I have nightshade, feverfew..." Bard told them as he rummaged around the bag.

"They're no use to me."Oin said shaking his head.

"We need Kingsfoil. Do you have it?" Amanda asked Bard looking from Kili to him.

"No, it's a weed. We feed it to the pigs." Bard told her she looked to Bofur and nodded.

"Pigs? Weed? Right." Bofur's walked over to Kili and posted at him as Amanda kissed his forehead.

"Don't move." He said as he and Amanda ran from the house to search for the weed. They ran up and down stairs and over bridges. Amanda looked to Bofur's.

" It will be quicker if we split." She told him and with a nodded they went separate ways. Little did the know that orcs were stalking them from above on the roof tops. Silently the orcs followed them about the village. As Amanda found some Kingsfoil she stood up with it in her had and smiled as she made her way back to the house. But just as she was about to climb the stairs around the corner. An Orc landed in front of her, ducking quickly to avoid being beheaded. She rolled along the ground and pulled out her sword slicing the Orc in the stomach. The Orc fell dead at her feet.

"Get down!" Amanda heard Fili yell out from the house as the sound of crashing sounded. Amanda took to her feet and ran up the stairs while stashing the Kingsfoil in her pocket to use both her swords. With two swords in hand she burst into the house kicking an orc who had his back turned to her. She quickly blocked a sword and pierced into it heart. She ripped the sword from him and swung it over her head taking an orcs head from its shoulders. She then heard Kili yelled as an Orc landed in front of him. This distracted Amanda for a split second allowing an Orc to sneak up behind her and readied to kill her. But an arrow lunged into its head as Amanda ran to kill the Orc that was about to kill Kili.

" aAre you alright?" She asked Kili as she picked him up and put him back onto the bed. He yelled in pain as it got worse.

" Yeah. Behind you!" Kili yelled as he pulled her down on to the bed. A Orc blade narrowly missed her head again as it was killed buy a sword form behind. It dropped to reveal Legolas looking at them.

" Thank you, my friend." She offered her thanks to him in elvish. Legolas smiled as he looked around the house.

" The orcs are retreating, Tauriel." Legolas said as he nodded to her. Amanda handed her the Kingsfoil and she made up some medicine to heal Kili, who was yelling in pain.

" Amanda, may I speak with you." Legolas said as Amanda nodded. She walked over to him as Tauriel began to heal Kili. Amanda stood in front of Legolas.

" Are you alright?" Legolas asked with worry. His eyes scanned her small frame as she nodded.

" Yes I am well." Amanda said with a gentle smile.
