Spiders And The Elven King

A Helping Hand Part 2

You followed Legolas down the steps to where the cells were. The talking you had heard along the way, grew silent as you walked past them. You inwardly groan that Thorin's men should never be placed in cells in the first place.

You turned a corner noticing Tauriel looking at something that was in her hand. She glanced at you and you politely smiled back at her before you looked to where Legolas was heading.

You noticed that he was also looking at Tauriel and the dwarf that she was speaking too. He glared at the pair of them. You didn't saying anything, you just looked ahead of you, until Legolas stopped suddenly.

As you walked past, you noticed a blonde haired dwarf watching you intently. You grace him with a smile before your eyes rested on who you really wanted to see.

"It's been a while Thorin." You whispered.

"It can't be!" You heard someone say.

You glanced to your right and saw another familiar face. You smiled at a white haired dwarf.

"Hello Balin," You say "it is good to see you. Shame it's not under better circumstances."

You heard movement and suddenly there stood Thorin looking back at you with shock etched on his features.

"I thought I was dreaming when I saw you earlier," Thorin said softly "what are you doing here?"

You glanced back at Legolas. You were well aware that he was listening in. Though he appeared to look ahead of him. You return your attention back on your old friend.

"Were you captured too?"

His blue eyes bore into yours and you quietly shook your head.

"No, I was on an errand for Radagast and I ventured inside Mirkwood unaware that spiders were lurking there," Thorin's eyes widened "I killed many of those spiders but one caught me unaware and bit me."

You glanced back at Legolas and gave him a smile.

"If it wasn't for this fine fellow, I wouldn't be seeing you today."

You saw a faint smile from Legolas. You then look back at Thorin who clearly looked shocked with this news.

"Who is she?" You heard the blonde dwarf say to Thorin "she is a human as I cannot see the pointed ears."

You smiled at that. Though your knew you wasn't human, you did look and sound like one. No one had ever asked about your origin, that was until you had met Thorin. You still had no idea on how he had found out you were an angel. You did have a funny feeling revolving around a certain wizard, but you had no proof on that matter.

"This is Tatiana," informed Thorin "she was there when I needed her help when that dragon stole Erebor."

You watched one another and a sadness filled your heart at seeing him like this.

"You shouldn't be here," You whispered glancing at everyone now "none of you should be. Thorin, what happened?"

"Why, so you can explain all this to the Elven King?" snapped Thorin "I saw the way you were glancing at one another. I thought I knew you Tatiana, obviously I was clearly mistaken."

"How dare you speak to my lady like that," hissed Legolas stepping towards you "she was the one that wanted to speak to you. Though I can't for the life of me figure out why that is."

You look at Legolas with wide eyes.

"It's alright Legolas," You say shaking your head in defeat "leave it. I was wrong in assuming that Thorin was still my friend. Now I know otherwise."
