We stayed at the encampment. I never doubted that my father would think of something. In the days that passed he ran through holding something in a satchel.
"Papa what's wrong what are you doing?" I asked.
"I got an idea to get you what you need." He replied.
"Come let's go to Thranduil." I said and we walked towards our tent.
"Barawen what's wrong?" Thranduil asked.
"My father has a plan to get the gold for the repairs." I replied.
"And what would that be master Baggins?" He asked and my father pulled something from his satchel.
"I know that the arkenstone is contributing to his greed King Thranduil, Bard we can ransom it to him for the gold." Papa said to him and his eyes widened.
"He's right Oakenshield will do anything for this." Bard replied and I nodded.
"It's the only way we can get what we need to rebuild Laketown." I said and we walked to Erebor. We entered and walked toward's Thorin's throne. Thranduil was holding the satchel. Papa had gone back to the kingdom before we did.
"What have you returned for?" Thorin asked.
"You will not give us the gold we need to rebuild Lake town but you will give us the gold in ransom." Thranduil said.
"Ransom for what?" He asked.
"This." Bard said and held up the Arkenstone. "It's precious to you and you would do anything for it."
"How did you get that?"
"I gave it to them." Papa stepped into the light. "You're sick Thorin and you promised to help Lake Town."
"You filthy Half-ling! You're no good! You're worthless I ought to kill you right now where you stand!" Thorin shouted and I stood in front of my father.
"You so much as touch him and I'll make sure you share the same fate as your grandfather." I said. Thorin's eyes widened. He knew I was serious.
"You know our price Oakenshield give us the gold or we will attack and we will not give this back." Thranduil said and we left taking Papa with us.
"I should've never let you do that papa. He would've killed you." I said crying when we got back.
"You don't have to worry about me Bara. I've gotten better at standing up for myself. You'll strike a deal with Thorin this way. It was the only way." He replied and hugged me. I hugged tighlty back.
"An army's coming and we need to fight them." Thranduil walked in putting his arm around me.
"We'll need the help of the dwarves wether Thorin likes it or not. They need help and we need to have the troops ready for anything." I said and he nodded.
