"Why not?" He asked.


    " Because my people are in a time of need and I need to help take care of them," you say, " But if it wasn''t for that I would go with you." Fili smiled at you and said,


    " I understand." He kissed you than left.


    After a few minutes you heard shouts and saw a crowd of people. You tried to see what they were doing, but all you could here was voices talking about what to do next than you saw Bard walk away from the crowd and everyone starting working together. You went around and started collecting wood. After awhile you and everyone else began walking. You didn''t know where you were going but you had an idea. After awhile of walking you reached Dale where you helped make fires and care for the wounded. Night fell and you went to bed. You had a bad nights sleep and when you got up your were tried, but you quickly woke up when you saw elves all around the city. You weren''t sure if you should glad that they were here or not. You were thankful though that they had brought food and drink. A few hours went by and Bard had left and now he was back. And he said to get ready for war. You were having a hard time believing what you just heard.Everyone had just lost everything and now we are going to war. You wasted no time and headed straight for Bard.


    " Why are we going to war," you say in a slightlyconfused voice.

    " What word," you say.


    " That we wouldget a share of the treasure," he says.


    " Oh," you say. A few minuteswent by and Bard said,


    " Are you going to fight with us? Hate to have someone like you not fight with us. You fight very well." You smiled and said,


    " I might, but I might need to sleep on it."


    " Okay, but we attack at dawn so don''t sleep to long," he said smiling.


    Again that night you didn''t sleep well which was a good thing for once. You had decidedthat you would fight. The sun hadn''t come up yet but you could see it getting lighter so you got up, ate breakfast, and ready yourself for battle. You came outto Bard and saw Thranduil. You bowed politely. He smiled and bowed back.


    " So I see that you will be fighting with us," said Bard.


    " Yes," you replied back.


    " Good,"Bard said smiling.


    " So this is the woman you told me about who fightsso well," said Thranduil turning to you. You smiled. You know that you were good but you didn''t think thatyou were that good that Bard should brag about you to Thranduil.


    " Where do you want me?"you ask.


    " Anywhere you want to be just don''t goto far off," said Bard


    " Okay I think I will just be with the towns people," you say.


    " Okay," said Bard. So you went into the group where the towns people were and than everyonebegan to walk to the mountain.
