The dwarves have defeated their spiders, and are running through the forest. More spiders jump down on threads of silk in front of the dwarves and hiss at them. Thorin raises his sword in preparation to fight, but pauses and looks up. 

   A blonde elf runs through the treetops, then swings down a spider's silk in order to land on it and kill it. He slides on the forest floor under the spider facing Thorin, slicing it in half, and comes up kneeling with an arrow nocked in his bow and pointed at Thorin. Several other Mirkwood elves appear, drawing arrows and pointing them at the dwarves.

    "Do not think I won't kill you, dwarf. It would be my pleasure." He threatens.

I jump down gracefully from above, right infront of him. "You would die before your stroke fell," I hiss from beneath my hood as his blue eyes widen, not expecting me. As I observe him, he has long blonde hair, sharp blue eyes, and a muscular body. I would say he was handsome if he wasn't pointing a bloody arrow at me right now. He is most likely royalty based on the respect the other elves are giving him. That can only mean  this is Legolas Thranduilon, son of King Thranduil.

  The dwarves look around and see that they are completely surrounded and outnumbered by Mirkwood Elves, all with drawn bows aimed at the dwarves.

 "Help!" I glance back as hear Kili's cry. The dwarves whirl around and see a spider pulling Kili away by the foot. 

I sprint over to him, shooting two spiders in the process. I stab more spiders with my dagger. Another female Elf, Tauriel, runs through the forest. She kills three spiders with her bow and knife, then kills the spider pulling Kili with an arrow. She turns to attack another spider behind her, and yet another spider rushes toward Kili.

"Throw me your dagger! Quick!" The young dwarf exclaims.

 "If you think I'm giving you a weapon, dwarf, you're mistaken!" Tauriel kills the spider with her knife as I slash a spider with my dagger. We both then spin and throw our weapons, killing the spider that was attacking Kili. Kili looks on in amazement as we smirk at one other.

 "Search them." 

The elves approach the dwarves and start searching them. An elf confiscates two of Fili's knives. Legolas pulls a picture frame with two pictures out of Gloin's pocket.

"Hey! Give it back! That's private!"

Legolas looks at a picture of a dwarf. "Who is this? Your brother?"

 "That is my wife!"

Legolas looks at the other picture, which is of a dwarf child. "And what is this horrid creature? A goblin mutant?"

 "That's my wee lad, Gimli."

Legolas raises his eyebrow at Gloin in contempt while I stifle a laugh.

Meanwhile, the elf searching Fili finds even more knives. Fili sighs when the elf finds even some in a secret hidden pocket.

"Are the spiders dead?" Legolas asks Tauriel. I had met Tauriel when I was venturing near Greenwood. She had been injured and I helped her. I have not seen her for a while.

"Yes, but more will come. They're growing bolder," The red-head replies.

Fili opens his jacket to show the elf searching him that he has no knives left; however, the elf finds another one hidden in Fili's hood. An elf hands Legolas Thorin's sword, Orcrist, and he inspects it.

"This is an ancient Elvish blade. Forged by my kin. Where did you get this?"

 "It was given to me." Thorin replies grimly.

Legolas points the sword at Thorin. "Not just a thief, but a liar as well. Take them!"

The elves begin to lead the dwarves away. As they begin to walk, Bofur turns and whispers to Thorin "Thorin, where's Bilbo?" Thorin looks around, but sees no sign of Bilbo. I smirk knowing he's there wearing The Ring.

Meanwhile, the Elf Prince starts talking to me. "You're an elf," he asks, or more like states in elvish.

"Nope, I'm definitely a dwarf," I reply sarcastically, rolling my eyes under my dark hood.

Unamused, he goes on ignoring me. "You will come with us. I am not taking your weapons. Do not try anything,"

 "Like I was definitely going to abandon my company, kill a pack of elves and escape a sick forest full of spiders," I say, once again sarcasm rolling off my tongue. He grabs my arm and pulls me with him. For some reason I feel safe as his grip is lighter than I had expected.

   The dwarves are led over a bridge and into the Woodland Realm. After we pass through, Legolas addresses the guards of the gate. "Close the gate,"

   Bilbo, invisible, is running along the bridge and toward the gate. Legolas turns, sensing something, and looks down the bridge. Seeing nothing after a few seconds, he turns and walks through the gates as they closes. Bilbo, unseen, slips through the gates before they close.

   The dwarves are led through the raised wooden walkways of the Woodland Realm. The entire place is built out of tree roots in a subterranean cavern. We see the King of Mirkwood, Thranduil, Legolas's father, sitting on his throne. The last I saw him was when I attended the Feast Of Starlight along with my parents. It had been the last one they were present at and so was the Queen Of Greenwood.
