Here's a link to some artwork I really like for Thranduil:http://jadedsilk.tumblr.com/post/119853061751#_=_

Allie wakes abruptly five minutes later and begins slamming herself against the bars of the hanging cage. It rocks and fuels her anger. She grabs the bars with her hands and jumps up pressing her feet against the bars. A wrenching shriek explodes from her throat in a language I can't understand (by the faces on Alex, and Thorin they don't know either) and her eyes start to glow again.

"Uh oh," I mumble.

"This a different reaction," Alex states.

Her wings start flapping wildly and for a moment it seems like runes are burning on her skin and legs. Allie glances own at the runes and just screeches louder as if she's in pain.

"Are they actually burning her?" Fili asks and I shake my head.

"I don't know," I admit.

I can barely watch as tendrils of her glow lash out and her screams echo across the walls.

Minutes later she collapses to her knees on the cage floor, arms extended out, and just screams louder than before.

"Plug you're ears!" Grace yells as the pitch gets higher and higher. Seconds later the screams get so loud the elves collapse in pain and blood starts dribbling from their ears. Fili grabs my head and shields my ears but the sound still seeps in.

It does more than hurt physically, it is heartbreaking to listen to. Fili

Hold me tight and turns me away as her glow becomes blinding. She's glowing extremely bright.

Just as it gets unbearably loud and bright it all stops.

Glancing back up I see her body fall back and her eyes close.

"ALLIE!" Grace yells. "ALLIE!"

"Grace if you can still feel the bond she'll be alright," Alex assures the wailing elf. I myself hold back tears and cling to Fili. What's happening to my sweet friend?

"What the hell was that?" Dwalin shouts.

"We've no idea actually," Bilbo answers genuinely.

"This sucks," I huff, crossing my arms. "One second we are dancing, drinking and eating the next our wise leader insults our host landing us in cells!"

"Well it is consistent with your company's past situations if Lacy told me correctly," Tauriel muses, silently flowing down the stairs.

"Oh yes," Fili says nodding. "It is."

"Well I'm afraid Thranduil doesn't want to free you at all. You insulted his late wife and soul mate. That is an extremely sensitive subject for him. So we'll just have to coordinate an escape plan," Tauriel explains.

"Till then jail party!" Alex cheers. "And yell so loud we hopefully wake Allie."

"How often are you two down here?" Kili queries and side-eyes the floating cage.

"Often enough to have velvet thrones in our cells," Grace replies as she stares longingly at Allie.

"How long has it been since you've been here? And how did you come to be assasins?" Bofur inquires.

"Well after escaping my father I went back to my mother's village to find it pillaged by orcs. Thranduil's guards found me while they were helping the citizens rebuild. I went back with them to the castle and offered my services to Thrnaduil. He had an interest in legends so when I told him about my parentage he wholeheartedly allowed me to stay. I became an assassin for him and made a life here," Alex answers blatant and bored. Her story doesn't much scar her anymore. She's learned to live and move on.

"Well I suppose you all deserve the truth. I did lose control and kill my family. But it happened after my parents killed my sister. See my parents ran a pure blood organization of elves who looked down on every elf who didn't have blond hair and light eyes. My sister and I had brown hair and dark eyes so they made us servants till she spoke out one day. They shoved a sword through her throat and I lost it and shifted. I killed them and destroyed our home. Thranduil's guard found me covered in blood and crying by my sister's body. I was brought to Thranduil and thanked. He had been trying to take down that organization for awhile, having Alex kill higher members. He offered me a job as Alex's partner and introduced me to Legolas. He knew one of the names on Legolas and thought himself quite the matchmaker when we found out we are soulmates." Grace chuckles slightly at the end. I can see why, Thranduil is definitely a bit of an odd duck.

"Wait one of the names? Legolas has two?" Sam asks. "That's rare? Do you have two?"

"Yes he does. I do as well..." Grace trails off.

"You're part of a !?!" I exclaim in surprise. "My Yavanna woman! You and your secrets!!"

"We aren't a triad. We-we never go the chance," Grace stutters and I see her grip tighten around the bars of her cell. "I suppose it's for the best though she was only my platonic it would have been odd."

"Yes but Legolas would have made it work he loved her and now he loves you," Tauriel points out.

"H-her name was Silvia," I notice she speaks in past tense. So Silvia has died. Grace doesn't seem overly upset about it. She just seems gripped by lost chances.

"What happened to her?" Bilbo asks quietly.

"She died when an orc stabbed her in the chest. She was human and it was during a time when orc attacks were common. Legolas and her were together at the time. I never met her," Grace replies looking somber. "I can't bring myself to mourn her though. I never met her. I did have her initials though I still do they are grey now."

"I'm sorry," I murmur sympathetically. "I'm sure you'll see her one day."

"I hope. Legolas tells me she was quite the character," Grace recounts, smiling.

"She was. I had the honor of meeting her. She had a fighting spirit but couldn't wield a sword to save her life as it turns out... She always wanted to help but physically she couldn't. She was human and not entirely fit," Tauriel chuckles a sadness in her eyes.

"Sounds nice," Sam utters.

"Soo when I imagined being in a cell with you this certainly wasn't the situation I'd hoped for. But hey I'm an optimist, this can work," I muse, running a hand along the cell wall before sinking to the ground.

"Oh really well I can't say I haven't had day dreams about you in cuffs," Bilbo counters and grabs my wrists holding them above my head.

"Oh really how do they play out?" I tease playfully.

"Something like this!" Bilbo says and smashes his lips against mine.

At first is simple just us moving our mouths together. Then he runs his tongue against my bottoms lip and I open my mouth for my tongue to meet his. Deciding to be a lady for the first time in my life I let him dominate my mouth. Our tongues swirl together in sync warmly. He presses flush against my chest and sits in my lap. It's the only position that isn't awkward because of our height difference. He releases my wrists allowing me to grab behind his head and pull him closer our teeth clacking together when I do. I can feel my skin heating up as we continue. The kiss gets a little rougher when we start biting each others lips and our movement become almost desperate. My fingers tangle in his hair while he tugs on mine. It is passionate and needy.

My brain is scrambled by his lips and hands so I don't notice when Natalie walks up.

"HEY! Break it up I'm busting you out," Natalie yells and we yank away.

"Oh hello Natalie!" I greet and stand up pulling Bilbo with me.

"You're lips are swollen, your hair is mussed, and your clothes are rumpled. Both of you straighten up," Natalie orders and unlocks our cage. I smile sheepishly and run my fingers through my hair.

"I hope we can do more of that later," he whispers.

"Here you go," Natalie says and holds the key up.

"Not necessary," I state, pull out my own key, and unlock my cell.

"Of course you have a copy," Natalie grumbles and rolls eyes.

"Can you unlock Allies cage?" I ask. Allie is just waking, I can hear her breathing pick up.

"I can't reach it but here," Natalie pulls a key off the key ring and presses into my hand. "This is for the bird cage."

"I'm coming Al," I say and run up. I stand on my tip toes and unlock it. She rolls over and frowns. Reaching out I gather her in my arms, careful not to bend her wings.

"Grace," she mumbles.

"Don't do that again," I demand holding her tight. "What even was that?"

"Honest I don't know," Allie responds quietly, but for some reason I can't bring myself to believe her. "Do not think I've forgiven you."

"I know dear one," I utter somberly.

"Alright I got Legolas and Lacy lets go," Tauriel reports as she runs up, Legolas and Lacy behind her.

"Last one, be free King Buttface," Natalie jokes and opens Thorins cell. He walks out looking royally pissed off. "Down to the cellars now."
