The last thing Bard remembered was getting knocked out by the Master of the Lake. But when he woke up. He found himself on the cold hard floor of the Lake Town Jail. With a small mat, an itchy sheet for a blanket, and a bucket the only things in the cell. While Braga and the other guards were outside and enjoying a drink. That's what he got for being a voice of the people. But this time, the only noise coming was the low rumbling of the mountain. And he stared at horror out the window to realize what was happening. The Dragon was awakening.

And Townsfolk emerged from their houses, looking on at the Mountain with increasing concern at the fire light flickering above the mountain. 

As that was happening, Bofur was ducking past the townsfolk looking for any of the Kingsfoil. Neville was scooting by. "Excuse me. Pardon me." He said. "Anyone here know where to find Kingsfoil?" He asked.

"Yeah. It's over there by the pigs." One Townsfolk answered pointing to a herd of pigs.

"Oh, thanks." Neville thanked. And he quickly ran over to see that there was a pig chewing on a wad of plants. And Bofur saw the same thing. "Aw. That's just great." He complained.

"Well, better than nothing." Bofur figured as he grabbed the plants out of the pig's mouth. "Let's get back to Kili and Ginny."

While above them, Bolg saw them from atop the roofs. He signaled his Orcs to follow the Dwarf and Neville. 

Back at Bard's house, Sigrid was standing on the balcony waiting for Bofur and Neville to return. Kili was still on a bed moaning in pain. And the same for Ginny. But she could hear sudden creaking from above the roof. 

"What was that?" Ron asked taking out his wand. "That couldn't have been Bofur and Neville." 

Oin couldn't hear anything. "I don't hear anything." 

But Ginny could swear that she saw a shadow from out the window. "You think that was Da?" Tilda asked. 

There was a silence again. "Well, whatever it was. It's gone now." Ron figured. 

But Ginny started to sit up and was coughing. She tried to get her wand. "Woah! Woah! What do you think you're doing, Lass?" Oin asked running over to Ginny.

"Ginny! You're in no condition to sit. Lie back down!" Ron ordered.

"G-Guys... be-behind you..." Ginny croaked. 

Right as soon as she said that, a Hunter Orc had jumped down in front of Sigrid causing Sigrid to scream in alarm and tried to shut the door, it alerted Ron.

"Oh, not these Orcs again!" Ron complained and he tried to get out his wand as Bain and Tilda looked in alarm. And the same was said for Fili and Kili.

And as Bofur and Neville, ran they too were jumped by some of the Orcs. An Orc jumped in front of Bofur nearly slamming his sword down. "Depulso!" Neville quickly shot sending the Orc into the freezing water. "Where did he come from?" He asked.

Bofur looked at the other Orcs on the Rooftops. "There." And a horrible thought dawned on him. "Neville. They must be going after Thorin."

"But Thorin's not here." Neville pointed out. "Unless they're following our trail and could kill Kili and Ginny. Come on!" He urged Bofur forward. 

The Hunter Orc burst through the doors of Bard's house, and was greeted by plates and pans thrown at by Oin. But that was when another Orc slammed through the roof of the house. This Orc quickly swatted  Sigrid away and onto one of the makeshift beds. Fili jumped on the Orc, slamming him into the wall.

"Kids! Get under the table!" Ron shouted bringing out his wand. But another Orc jumped down right on Ron. His wand knocked out of his hands onto the floor. The other Orc had grabbed Fili and through to the floor. "Oh, you did not just do that!" Ron tackled the Orc to the ground. "Fili! Help!"
