"What is he doing back here?" I growled but bofur and the others gave me a look that said it all,"we have no time, we have to sa-" Screams of terror and death rang through the air, the dragon had reached the village. "We have to get the survivors at least." Bilbo said, looking around for agreement. "Let's move then!" I yelled and we were off, faster than we have moved before. We ran in silence, stopping occasionally to catch our breaths.

Soon, we reached the village, and when I say it was worse now than then before, it wouldn't be a lie. "Are their any survivors?!" I shouted and was only greeted by silence. The message was repeated through the whole village, and we were met with a disturbing silence. "What do we do? Half of Middle Earth will die!" I looked to the source of the voice to be met with Bilbo's cold stare,"we move on! Millions of people die each day, crying by their bed side won't help." Bilbo shrank back, and went to stand with the others.

"Why must you be so harsh?"

"You two Kili?"

"He has done nothing wrong, his question proofs a point. What will we do? We caused this and to be quite frank, it was all because of your god forsaken greed."

"DO NOT SPEAK TO YOUR ELDER SUCH A WAY! YOU SHALL DO WHAT I SAY WHEN I SAY IT! GOT IT?"

He shrank back and bilbo embraced him. I realized what I have done, I began to speak my apology when Bofur stepped forward,"haven't you done enough?! Look, we must move on and stop smaug."

I agreed silently and walked ahead of the company.
