Chapter 3

"Orc pack? " Bilbo asked in disbelief.

"Who did you tell about you quest beyond your kin? " Gandalf interjected and approached Thorin.

"No one. " Dwarf said.

"Who did you tell?! " Gandalf shouted.

"He said that to no one. " I interjected.

"No one, I swear. " Thorin added and put his hand on my shoulder. "What in Durni's name is going on? "

"You're being hunted. " Wizard replied.

"We have to get out of here. " Dwalin interjected.

"We can't! " Ori shouted. "We have no ponies. They bolted! "

"Great. " I said. "How are we going to escape them now? "

" I'll draw them off. " Radagast proposed.

"These are Gundabad Wargs. " Gandalf said. "They'll outrun you. "

"These are Rhosgobel rabbits " Radagast replied. "I'd like to see them try. "

And so it happened. Radagast was supposed to distract the orcs while we had to run as far away as possible.

We went out of the forest into an empty clearing, where there were only rocks. We hid behind one of the larger ones, and when we saw Radagast leaving, we moved on. We ran as fast as we could, speeding between the rocks. I probably would have bumped into wargs — creatures similar to wolves, but twice as big and more dangerous — if Thorin hadn't stopped me. He grabbed my hand just in time.

We waited a while for the wargs to run further, and then Gandalf led us on our way. I didn't know where he was leading us, but judging by Thorin's face, certainly not where he wanted.

Suddenly, we noticed that one of the orcs was disconnecting from the rest and rushing straight towards us. We managed to hide behind one of the rocks. I heard the orc ride on his warg, on the rock under which we were hiding.

Thorin nodded to me and Kili to pull out the bow and arrows.

"On three." Kili whispered, to which I just. "Three! " Shouted and we both went out to meet the orc.

I shot the orc straight in the head, just like Kili warg. The orc fell dead, but we still had to finish his warg, which unfortunately caused his moans to echo throughout the valley. I was sure the rest of the horde of orcs had heard him.

"Move! Run! " Gandalf shouted.

We all ran straight after him. The wargs and orcs were right behind us.

One of the orcs had a bow and fired at me. I turned just in time to see the arrow fly right past my head.

I was running just behind Thorin, but suddenly I stumbled and fell.

"Lia! " Kili shouted.

The orc jumped off his warg and swung his sword at me, but I managed to roll over at the last minute, to the side. I got up and cut his leg and cut off his head.

"Lia! Get down! " Kili shouted as I turned toward him.

I bent down and heard an arrow fly just over my head and hit warg. I turned around and finished off the creature, but I didn't notice another orc swinging his sword at me. I probably would have lost my head if it hadn't been for Thorin, who stopped the blow with his sword and pierced the orc through.

"You're okay? " He asked.

"Yes. " I replied. "Thank you. "

"Look out! " Fili shouted.
