Part Twenty

“What do you mean gone?” Thranduil yelled at the guard, who looked a little worse for wear.

“They are gone, sir. Nothing but some apple cores left in their cells.”

“Apple cores? Bell?!” He yelled.

Bell had been lurking outside the door of his throne room anyway so she popped in the door. “Yes, sire?”

“Did you let my captive dwarves go?”

“No. I fed them but I didn’t let them go. I hated to think of them all hungry down there. ”

She popped back out. He looked like he might throw something at her. She wasn’t afraid but she usually let him calm down when he was in this state before she talked to him. It wasn’t the first time she’d seen him this way.

He asked the guard how they’d gotten out and it turned out they’d rode some barrels from Laketown out onto the river. Bell laughed to herself at their cleverness. But how did they get out their cells? They had been locked in when she was there.

Could there have been someone there she didn’t see? She felt a chill at the thought, but then dismissed it. Where would anyone be able to hide?
