After walking for a while we found this large cave nearby where we were nearly eaten. I crinkled my nose at the smell it smelt as if something had died in there. We then entered the foul stanching place

"Oh, what's that stench?!" Nori questioned as we were walking down the stairs of the cave and being blasted with a foul smell stronger than before "It's a troll hoard. Be careful what you touch." Came Gandalf's reply from the front

I let out a cough, nearly vomiting at the smell. Arriving at the bottom I look around the cave noticing the gold coins scattered around on the ground, along with boxes and chests covered in cobwebs

"Seems a shame just to leave it lyin' around" Bofur says from in front of me kicking some coins on the ground gently "Anyone could take it."

"Agreed, Nori, get a shovel." Came Gloin's reply to Bofur's remark, I roll my eyes and walk further into the cave, passing Gandalf and Thorin as they were looking at the cobwebbed covered swords,

There was nothing worth grabbing in the cave so I turned around and left not without pocketing a small bag of gold. Exiting the smelly cave I'm greeted with a soft breeze and less heavy air.

"Better" A voice says from beside me, I turn slightly to see Fili looking at me with a grin which I can't help but return "Very much so, I thought I was about to faint in there" I say with a small laugh

There was a loud bird call and then a few birds began to fly out the trees "Something's coming!" Thorin shouted "Stay together! Hurry now. Arm yourselves" Gandalf shouted running past Fili and I, I grab my sword and unsheathe it running with Fili into the woods

۞۞۞۞۞

There were loud bangs and crashes coming from the bushes in front of us, we all crouched in to fighting stances when an old man bursts through the thicket on a rabbit-drawn sled

"Thieves, Fire, Murder!" He yelled looking around at us with wide eyes "Radagast!" Gandalf says with a sigh of relief "Radagast the Brown. Ah. What on earth are you doing here?" So this must be the other wizard, strange I would have thought of him as something like Gandalf or maybe like the two blue wizards not this strange man

"I was looking for you, Gandalf. Something's wrong. Something's terribly wrong." Radagast says to Gandalf, "Yes?" Gandalf asked with a slight questioning gaze

Radagast opens his mouth to speak, but shuts it. He opens his mouth again, but closes it again. He looked as if he had forgotten what he was going to say. Again not someone I would of thought to be a wizard

"Oh, just give me a minute. Um, oh, I had a thought, and now I've lost it. It was, it was right there, on the tip of my tongue." He whines making wild hand gestures, he then paused and curled his tongue and then looked at Gandalf with surprise

"Oh, it's not a thought at all; It's a silly old..." Radagast's words were slightly muffled as Gandalf grabbed something from out of his mouth

"­stick insect!" Radagast finishes looking at the stick insect that was now sitting on Gandalf's hand, I shuddered, what a strange man. Gandalf and Radagast go off a few paces and speak privately

"What a strange man" Fili whispers to me, I let out a slight giggle and nod "He is, who keeps a stick insect there?" I look at Fili who is trying not to laugh

"What's so funny" Kili asked walking over to Fili and I, we both look at each other and start laughing, "Of course, leave you two alone together and you become best of friends" Kili mutters, I laugh and place a hand on his shoulder

"I wouldn't worry Kili, I think you and I are pretty good friends" I say with a smile, to which he grins. Suddenly, a howl is heard in the distance.

"Was that a wolf? Are there­­are there wolves out there?" Mr Baggins asked frightened at the sound "Wolves? No, that is not a wolf" Came Bofur's reply; I drew out my sword scanning the forest looking for any signs of movement

I hear a crack of a stick come from behind me, I turn slowly and see a Warg scout staring at me. It lets out a low growl; it leaps and jumps on me sending me tumbling down the hill, its claws puncture my skin, I let out a hiss of pain when it goes limp and falls slack onto my body

Another loud growl comes from nearby only for it to be silenced, the Warg on top of me is pushed off I feel the claws drag across my skin and I'm helped up "Warg Scots! Which means an Orc pack is not far behind." Thorin say his arm securely around my waist, a sword in his other hand on high alert

"Orc pack?" Bilbo spits out "Who did you tell about your quest, beyond your kin?" Gandalf asked walking towards us "No one." Thorin says

"Who did you tell?" Gandalf shouts "No one, I swear. What in Durin's name is going on?" Thorin says

"You are being hunted." Gandalf replied looking around, Thorin clutches my waist tighter; I flinch at pain that spread across my stomach as he did so

"We have to get out of here." Dwalin says gruffly from where he was standing "We can't! We have no ponies; They bolted" Ori shouts, from upon the crag above us

"I'll draw them off." Radagast says bravely "These are Gundabad Wargs; They will outrun you." Gandalf says to his stupidly brave friend

"These are Rhosgobel Rabbits; I'd like to see them try." Radagast replies before climbing onto his sled and taking off

۞۞۞۞۞

Hiding behind a rock, we were waiting for Gandalf's signal for us to run. I clutched my stomach feeling the sticking feeling of blood on them. I let out a laboured breath "You alright" Dwalin whispered from beside me, I nodded

"Come on" Gandalf said, as the barks and growls of the wargs grew fainter. We rush across the rocky plain, Radagast in the distance with the wargs after him. Pain flares up from my stomach as we run

Coming into a clearing we see Radagast go past us with the wargs "Stay together." Gandalf says, "Move!" Thorin whisper shouts at us, we turn the other way to find some cover

We stop behind a rock so that we aren't seen by the Wargs. I pant and lean against the rock wall, my hand still clutching my wound which was now bleeding heavily, Ori rushes past me only for Thorin to grab him and pull him back

"Ori, no! Come back!" Just in time as the Warg pack goes past still chasing Radagast "Come on! Quick!" Gandalf shouts, I run as quickly as I could past the Thorin and Gandalf

Running we see Radagast again go in front of us, we divert and crouch in front of a large rock. Hearing the snuffling and growls of a Warg on top of the rock I pant slightly laying against the rock I watch as Kili steps out and shoots the Warg, it howls in pain

The orc on it fall in front of us, and some of the company run and kill it. Its squeals of pain were loud and I flinched as I heard the other warg's growling and howling that they knew we were here

"Move. Run!" Gandalf shouts, we all began to run again. I knew I couldn't run any longer without fainting from blood loss. Clutching my stomach as I continued to run I could feel the blood on my hands

The company runs through a grassy plain; We stop slightly out of breath, looking around I noticed the wargs around us

"There they are!" Gloin shouts pointing over to only a small group of them "This way! Quickly!" Gandalf shouts, and then we were off again

I was lagging behind the company, my breathing was coming out in ragged pants, I feel a hand grab my arm "There's more coming" Kili shouts from beside me he begins to drag me "Come on Risa" He says

"Kili! Risa! Shoot them!" Thorin shouts from in front of us, Kili lets go of my arm and pulls out his bow looking around the field, I grab my own bow hissing in pain when I move

"We're surrounded!" Fili shouts, I draw back the bowstring and fire at one of the orc riders, coming a little too close for liking, Kili begins shooting at the Warg and the Warg­riders around the company

"Where is Gandalf?" Kili shouts, as we move back to form a circle, "He has abandoned us!" Dwalin shouts, I flinch I do hope he hasn't.

"Hold your ground!" Thorin shouts, I pull back my bow aiming it at the warg's and their riders, "This way, you fools!" Gandalf shouts from behind us, I turn slightly to see him looking at us from behind a rock

"Come on, move! Quickly, all of you! Go, go, go!" Thorin shouts directing us towards where Gandalf went,

The wargs began to approach much faster; I lag behind I was becoming unstable on my feet as I continued shoot the wargs along with Kili

"Kili! Risa! Run!" Thorin yells at us, Kili grabs my arm as I am lagging behind my vision becoming blotchy the hole comes closer in a blurred haze; I slide down the cave entrance groaning as I landed on the ground,

A horn sounds, the sounds of a fight going on reached our ears. Suddenly an orc fell down the entrance an arrow sticking out of its throat

Thorin reaches down and pulls it out and examines it, "Elves" He mutters chucking it to the ground, I pant slightly clutching my stomach, "Risa let me see" Kili's voice asks from beside me, I roll my head to see him staring at my stomach

"I'm fine" I say pushing myself to stand only to collapse onto the ground, Kili pushed my hands away from my bleeding wound, I heard a gasp from him "When did this happen" He muttered, I looked down at my stomach to see my clothing torn and blood stained

"I need to tell Thorin" Kili says going to stand, I grab his hand which is covered in my blood "Kili, I'm fine" I mumble out, I was feeling drowsy, I began to pull myself up with the help of the rocky wall behind me, I take a step forward slightly swaying

"Risa, are you okay" Kili asked grabbing my arm, "I'm perfectly fine" I mumble out before I fell forward onto Kili, my vision going black
