We start following the paved path that started at the Elven Gate. Thorin leads. At one point, the path turns a corner. As we keep following the path through the forest, it twists and turns over all sorts of terrain such as bare ground, high ledges, fallen tree trunks, and more. As we continue the Dwarves started complaining. Then we come across a bridge.

"We can try to swim it," Bofur says look at the water

"No, remember what Gandalf said a dark magic lies apond this forest, these waters are Enchanted."

"They don't look enchanted to me," Bofur says doubtful

"Well, trust me Bo these waters are, ok."

"These vines look strong enough," Kili says about to swing

"Kili!" thorin shouts making stop "we send lightest first."

The dwarves look to Bilbo "Who me no, no, no." he shakes his head

"Don't worry Bilbo I'll be right behind come on." I pat his back as we walk to the vine

As we across the vines, the dwarves wait on be behind us.

"I don't see a problem." Bilbo says then all most falling "there's one"

"Are you alright Bilbo?"

"Ah, I'm fine." He says getting himself up

We walk a little father then Bilbo all most fell off again. I grab his pack catching him before he fells in the waters "Woah, careful Bilbo."

"Uh, thanks," he says seeming drowes

We finally make it over to the other side. We land and Bilbo shouts "stay where you are"

"Uh, Bilbo." I point to the other come on the vines "Too late."

"Oh" he say as I help him up

We turn and see Thorin had made his way over safely. We heara noise and look to see a white elk trotting into our view.

Thorin pulls back his bow and shoots at it scaring it off

"You shouldn't have done that," Bilbo tells him

"Yeah, it's bad luck."

"I don't believe in luck. We make our own luck." He tells us

Once the others finally makes it over We continue walking again then Suddenly we run into each other.

"What's happening?" Oin asks

"Keep moving. Nori, why have we stopped?" Thorin shout to him

"The path...it's disappeared!" Nori answers

"What's going on?" Dwalin asks

"We've lost the path!" Oin shouts to everyone

I look around to see We are standing in front of a steep cliff, and there is no path ahead of us.

"Alright, Everyone just clam down." I tell them

"Calm down. Clam down. Kaya do you not remember what Gandalf told us, he said never leave the path." Thorin looks to me

"Yes, Thorin but panicking is not going to help us."

Thorin doesn't answer me and looks to the others "All of you look. Find it. Look for the path!"

I can tell The forest is beginning to affect them all more mentally, as I see them staggering about.

"I don't remember this place before. None of it's familiar."

"It's got to be here." Dori say still looking

"What hour is it?" Thorin asks

"I do not know. I don't even know what day it is." Dwalin answers him

"Is there no end to this accursed place?" Thorin shouts to the sky

The dwarves are all muttering and rambling as we continue walking. Ori leans down and picks up a tobacco pouch. "Look."

Dori takes the pouch from him. "A tobacco pouch. There's dwarves in these woods."

Bofur takes the pouch from Dori "Dwarves from the Blue Mountains, no less. This is exactly the same as mine."

"That's Because it is yours Bofur," I tell him

"Don't you see we're going round in circles. We are lost." Bilbo points out

"We're not lost. We keep heading east." Thorin says

"But which way is east? We've lost the sun." Oin asked

The dwarves begin to bicker indistinctly.

"The sun. We have to find the sun. Up there. We need to-" I hear Bilbo try to tell the dwarves

"You go, Bilbo, I'll try and get them to listen., I tell him

He nods and starts climbing the tree. While I try to stop the dwarves from fighting and pushing each other around.

"Alright, fellas that's enough." Walking over to them "Come on stop it." I say try to pry Nori and Fili apart

"Enough! Quiet! All of you!" Thorin shouts and the dwarves stop "We're being watched." He tells us

Next thing I know the world goes black. Later I awake to the feeling of my blood rushing to my head I open my eyes to see I'm hanging upside down wrapped in spider webs.

I move around trying to free myself. Then suddenly I see a sword cut my coon apart. Once freed I see Bilbo with a slight smile.

We turn to see a spider coming near and hide behind a tree just in time.

"Kaya, I'm going to vanish. Please don't panic."

"What are you talking about Bilbo? This is no time for joking around."

"I'm not joking Kaya, just trust me ok."

I nod, then the next I know I can't see him anymore. I smile. Well play master Baggins

I start walking as quietly as possible when somehow these stupid spiders run towards me. "Why can't I vanish too," I whisper to myself

As if the spiders can't see me they start running around me. I look behind me in disbelief then noticed my necklace is glowing again. they couldn't see me just like goblins. That's it This must have something to do with vanishing and is connected to my thoughts or something. I'll have to thank Kili again and really ask Gandalf about it.

"Where's Bilbo And Kaya!" I hear Bofur shout

I jump down off the tree I'm on "I'm right behind you Bofur relax."

He turns around and smiles "Ok now Wheres Bilbo."

I shrug "I haven't seen him since he freed me."

I look around me and the dwarves are fighting against the spiders with their various weapons. Bombur is knocked to the floor by a spider, and it stands over him to bite him.

"Grab a leg!" Dwalin shouts grabing a lag

Other dwarves grab each of the spider's legs.

"Pull!"

The dwarves pull at the spider's legs, and they manage to pull its legs right off its body. The dismembered body of the spider lands on Bombur.

"Kili!" I hear Fili shout

I look to see a spider has manages to grab Kili. I throw a dagger helping to free him. The dwarves defeated their spiders, and are running through the forest. More spiders jump down on threads of silk in front of the dwarves and hiss at them. Thorin raises his sword in preparation to fight but pauses and looks up.
