Angelina's POV:

After Tauriel healed Kili, Kili indeed had gained his strength back, while I sent Fili to keep watch outside of Bard's home. "There is still no sign of Bard, why hasn't he returned yet?" asked Tauriel. "I dunno! One of us must go and find him." said Bofur. "Oin, you take Bain, and Bofur, and go find Bard, while Fili, and myself will stay here with Kili!" I instructed Oin and Bofur, and Bain, Bard's son, who just so happened to be in the room.  And so the three of them left to go search for Bard, while Tauriel, Fili and myself, Sigrid and Tilda look after Kili.  "He's growing much stronger." smiled Tauriel. "Thank you, Tauriel. When do you think we'll be ready to return to the Mountain?" I asked Tauriel. "Anytime when Kili's ready. Its up to Kili actually." said Tauriel, and all our eyes turned to Kili. "Just give me a couple hours, I will be ready to leave." said Kili sitting up. "Kili, let me pack your belongings. You just sit still." said Fili. I helped Fili pack Kili and FIli's belongings.  Two hours later, Bard and the others came barging in the home. "DRAGONS!" cried out Bard. "Did you say Dragons? You mean there is more than one?!" cried out Tilda. "OH NO! NADINA!!" I cried out in horror. "Nadina?" asked Bard.  I explained to Bard about my friend and her dragon curse. "Did you see another dragon fighting with Smaug?" I asked Bard. "Yes, the two dragons are in a duel. Which one is Nadina?" asked Bard. "The purplish red one!" I replied to Bard. 

Bard went for the black arrow.  The man felt nervous, not suring how to approach this situation, considering one of the dragons was someone we all know, and he didn't want to kill her.  We all stormed outside, looking into the sky as the two dragons continue their battle.  A loud screech came from Nadina as Smaug bit into her. "NADINA!" I screamed. "Bard, do something! Shoot him!" shouted Fili.   "What is that bird? What does he want?" asked Bofur, as the dwarf saw a bird flying towards Bard, trying to say something to him. "Shoot where?" asked Bard.  And the bird continued tweeting. "Good thing I understand bird!" I spoke up. "What he is saying?" asked Bard. "There is s hollow spot in the left side of Smaug's breast. Aim at that!  That is his weak spot!" I told Bard.  Bard nodded, as he climbed the tower, using the large weapon sitting on top of it.   As he done so, the Master, Alfrid and the guards came running out,"BARD!" yelled the Master. "Leave him be! Don't you go near him! He must do this!" I shouted at the Master. "Who is the other dragon?" asked Alfrid. "MY friend." I replied. "We should kill her too." snarled Master, going for his bow. "Don't you even!" I screamed at the Master, grabbing him by his coat. "Why? Don't you see we got true dragons here, woman?!" shouted the Master. 

"Master, the other dragon is my friend Nadina, who bears the necklace of the curse!" I shouted. The Master's eyes widened in shock. "NADINA! TAKE OFF THE NECKLACE NOW! This is your chance to destroy it!" I called out to Nadina. Nadina looked down at me and nodded. Then she took her claws, tearing the necklace from her neck, as Smaug prepares to breath his fire. She threw the necklace at Smaug, as Smaug released his fire.  Flames surrounding them in the necklace. And suddenly, to our shock and horror, Nadina transformed back into her human form, and she fell into the lake screaming. "NADINA!" we all cried out.  Bard eyes widened in horror as he watched my friend falling into the lake. "Focus, Bard. You can do this!" I whispered to the man. Bard nodded and he fired the arrow at Smaug, striking him in the hollow spot.  Smaug roared, and he collapsed into the lake. 

I sighed with relief, as we can see that Smaug is defeated at last.  "Some one go in after the woman!" barked out the Master  Fili dove into the lake, swimming and finding Nadina.  FIli shortly found my friend floating above the water. "NADINA! NO!" FIli cried out, as he reached for her, and he carried her back to shore.

No One's POV

As they reached the shore, FIli carried Nadina in his arms, as everyone looked at them gravely. "Take her inside my home and have Master Oin and Captain Tauriel look at her." said Bard. Everyone nodded, and walked back inside Bard's home.  FIli gently laid Nadina on the bed. Tauriel checked Nadina's pulse. "Good news, she is still breathing. She is strong and very brave. I never seen any like this before." said Tauriel. "Any broken bones or scratches?" asked Angelina. "She's got a fractured collarbone, but it will heal quickly, and she has minor burns that Oin can take over from there on that!" said Tauriel. "She is sleeping now." said Angelina.  Two hours later,  Nadina woke up. "Where am I?" asked Nadina.  "You're in Bard's home. You had a fall in the lake, Nadina. You done it! You broke the curse!" said Angelina and she hugged Nadina. "I cannot believe it--its over---I'm human again.." gasped Nadina, tears streaming down her face.  The others smiled. "WIll you be able to walk? We'll be leaving to the Lonely Mountain soon." said Fili. "Yes, I can walk." said Nadina as she slowly stood up.  She wanted to go and be with Thorin.
