Bard and Bain had left the house and after a while, Bain came back, but without Bard.

"Where's Da?" Tilda asked.

Bain looked at his younger sister, "We were ambushed by guards. He told me to hide the black arrow and I did but they got him."

"Why would they do that?" Bofur asked.

"Our father was never really liked by the Master," Sigrid explained. "He was looking for a reason to arrest him since years. I guess because he spoke against the Master yesterday, they locked him in now."

As they heard the creaking of wood, Sigrid stepped out of the house to look who it was.

Erlanda then heard Sigrid scream as she rushed back into the house and tried to close the door but an Orc was preventing her from doing so. Another one then came barging through the back entrance and Oin threw a set of pots at him as another one came crashing through the ceiling.

Erlanda could not fully see what was happening with Sigrid but she could hear her scream. Tilda was throwing plates at an orc and then hid under their table with Sigrid. 

As an Orc stepped closer to Erlanda. she tried to reach something to defend herself but she was shaking too much to grab something and there wasn't anything near her reach that could be used as a weapon anyway.

She was sure that the orc would kill her as she saw the blond elf, that had captured them in Mirkwood, jump through the ceiling. He immediately shot the orc in front of her and then shot another one that was about to come through the front door.

He then continued to fight off the orcs, throwing a blade into one's head that Oin then pulled out and used to kill some orcs himself. Blondie continued shooting a few from his position on the table and then pulled his sword to fight the ones closest to him. As most of the orcs were dead and the rest fled, the elf turned to Erlanda. "Are you hurt?" he asked her. "Aside from your leg wound?"

She gave him a strange look but shook her head. "Why are you helping us? You imprisoned us and I don't even know your name?" the ending seemed more like a question than a statement as she shook again and let out a scream.

"You once knew me." the elf said. "And my name is Legolas. Now, we must get you away from here."

"We can't move her," Oin spoke. "That would surely kill her."

The elf, Legolas, looked worried. "We captured one of the orcs that attacked you. He said it was a Morgul venom. I've only seen this once before."

"Well, what did you do?" Oin asked.

"I didn't do anything." he nodded at Erlanda, "She did. She's a healer." 

At that moment, Bofur came walking in with the kingsfoil. Legolas looked at the plant and took it from the dwarf. "This is what she used. Athelas." he looked at Oin. "Do you have any warm water?"

"Aye." the dwarf nodded and took a fresh bowl pouring in the rest of the water that Bofur had heated. Legolas put the plant into the water. "Are you sure you know what you're doing, elf?" Oin asked.

Legolas nodded, though it was clear that he was not entirely sure. "I memorized the words she spoke." Erlanda was now thrashing around again. "Hold her down," he told the two dwarves.

Oin held down Erlanda's legs while Bofur made sure her shoulders stayed down.

The elf got the plant out of the water and ripped it even smaller, making into a cream-like substance which he spread on her leg. "Menno o nin na hon i eliad annen annin, hon leitho o ngurth"  he spoke repeatedly as Erlanda slowly lost her consciousness.

As Erlanda woke up again, the pain in her leg was almost entirely gone and so was the elf. She looked around the room and could not find him but noticed that there was a fresh bandage wrapped around her leg.

"He's gone to kill the nearby orcs," Bofur told her as he saw that she was awake. "Left you this." he pointed at the table where her sword and her dagger were lying with a bow and a quiver full of arrows.

"I can't shoot," Erlanda remarked.

"That's what we told him too but he insisted that you were an excellent shot," Oin told her. "He also made us promise to protect you. A very strange elf, if you ask me."

Bofur helped her stand up and handed her the sword from the table. Erlanda strapped it around her hip and then did the same with the dagger. She then picked up the bow with the quiver and handed it to Bofur. 

"I can't shoot," Bofur told her and as she looked at Oin, the other dwarf said. "Even if I could shoot, that bow is too big for a dwarf."

So, she put the stapped the quiver onto her back and then put the bow around it so she had her hands free. "What now?" she asked.

"We should get out of here," Bain said, "it's too dangerous to stay here, who knows how much time we have until that dragon comes here."

The dwarves nodded and ushered Erlanda, who was still a little wobbly on her feet, out of the house while Sigrid took her little sister at the hand and Bain followed the five of them out of the house.

They had just made their way out of the house as they heard loud voices around them and looked into the sky, only to see a large figure fly over the sky directly towards Lake Town; Smaug.
