Ithilwen continues her journey, she leads the dwarfs into Mirkwood were she loses them and they stray from the path. She finds them but she also finds her brother. The guards that are with him see her and chase after her. Eventually they do capture...
In the dungeons, everyone was confused as to why the Mirkwood King would take Erayas away. "I don't understand, why did he drag her away?" Fili asked. "I know why, she's one of them. Even worse she's the Princess of this place!" Thorin exclaimed.
"She tricked us into believing that she was a human and she followed us. I bet she planned us to get caught, so we could never reach our home."
"If she was so evil then why did she give our mother half of what she earned to us?" Kili asked. "To fool you." he said simply. Fili felt betrayed as did the rest. He turned to the darkness of his cell. 'I thought we were friends.'
In Ithilwens room the healer was done with the examination. "My King, the princess is fine but the wound is infected." she explained. Thranduil looked to his daughters naked shoulder to see it black and white with puss. "I put ointment on it but in order for it to heal I need to reapply it every 30 minutes." she explained. He nodded and ordered for her to leave. Knowing that she would scare the servants away.
Thranduil dragged his daughter to the bath chambers and ordered her to undress. "I will do no such thing. I am keeping this look and you can not stop me." she ragged turning around. He sighed, getting water he dumped it on her. Drenching her and the spell away. Brown hair turned to silver blond as human ears washed away to reveal elven heritage. A scar like paint washed away to reveal ivory skin without a mark on her.
"That spell is gone now you can never return to the company of Thorin Oakensheild. " he said dropping the bucket and ordering the servants to clean and dress her for the celebration.

Ithilwen was dressed in a moonlight gown (up top) that resembled the night sky her cape dragged across the floor as she escaped the confines of her fathers vision. Her butterfly hair piece glowed softly as she snuck down into the dungeons, only to find Tauriel talking with Kili. She smirked, but then she took notice of her brother and hid. Huffing he turned away. Once she was sure he was gone she ran down the steps and towards Fili's cell.
"Fili, Fili!" she whisper yelled. He turned around and huffed, "So that's what you really look like what are you here for? Come to look at your success or is you want to play around with us more. Or maybe you've come to gloat about how your out of a cell and we are in one." he said bitterly, his voice filled with betrayal. "Fili, stop it." she snapped.
"I have not called this place home in years nor do I call it home now." she explained gripping the cell bars. "I value my friendship with every one of you and I know I should have told you the truth but I was scared that you would hate me. That is why I hid my heritage so you and the others wouldn't judge me." she said starting to cry softly. "Please, understand that when I say this I mean it. My home is with the company and my friends." her blue eyes started to go glossy.
"I tried to reason with the king when he first came to my cell and we had an agreement that if I gave him the keys he would let me and the others go but he lied and went back on his word." she explained load enough for Thorin to hear because he was right next to Fili.
Fili got up and came into the light, "So you've always considered us friends and not toys?" he asked. "Yes, always." she cried. "Do you think you could get us the keys?" he whispered his tone happier. Nodding she smiled and ran back to her room. She got out of her gown and throwing it on her bed as she got her other set of battle armor she kept hidden (below)

She grabbed a brown hood her swords, and daggers but not her bow and arrow. She checked outside her door and ran to the cellar she only to find the keeper of the keys passed out and his keys gone. She gritted her teeth, and turned around only to find Bilbo and the dwarves. "Oh, Bilbo you have no idea how happy I am to see you." she exclaimed silently. "Why are you leading us into the cellars?" Kili exclaimed. Ithilwen shushed them and got out two darts. "What are you doing?" Fili asked.
She loaded one and but it in a blow tube. She blew one onto one of the guards and she did the same to the other. "Bilbo, what's next?" "Why do you care?" Thorin asked bitterly. "I care because the company is my home if you did not hear me the first time."
"C'mon," Bilbo said leading them to a couple of wine barrels. " Alright everyone into the barrels." he instructed. The dwarves went into a silent uproar but Ithilwen just obliged and went in. The company needed a little more convincing from Thorin.
They got in. "Now what?" Bofur asked poking his head out, the others doing the same. "Hold your breath."
They were confused by this. Bilbo pulled a lever and the barrels dropping into the river the dwarves and Ithilwen all yelling. This caused the guards that were knocked out to stirr. "Where is the keeper of the Keys?!" Tauriel yelled. Bilbo hurriedly tried to find the weakest part of the boards but when he heard the guards coming he started to fall walk back. Like a scale the board started to tip the halfling downwards. The board was coming up when the guard came down and Tauriel saw this.
Bilbo swam to Ithilwens barrel where she grabbed hold of him. "Well done master Baggins."Thorin congratulated. They travelled down stream, and when they came to a waterfall the dwarf prince yelled for them to hold on. It was like Ithilwens past all over again except this time it intentional. "Close the gate" Legolas ordered. A horn sounded letting the guards know to shut the gate. "No," Ithilwens eyes held fear, the fear of being trapped in her fathers grip again.
She watched as guards withdrew there swords and the keeper closed the gate. 'Not again, please I don't want to be in a cage my entire live.' she pleaded.
