I opened my eyes to darkness. I must have dozed off, I thought. I didn't feel sick anymore but something was still wrong. I was wrapped tightly and found I couldn't really move. I groaned as realization set in.

The spiders.

I wiggled and squirmed a moment before there was a cutting sound and I felt myself slowly lowered. I panicked and tried ripping from the web, it wasn't as easy as it looked in the movies.

"Andria! Hold still!" I could hear Kili say as light began to poke through the web.

Kili had cut through the web, pulling me out.

"Is she alright?" Thorin asked, pulling himself up.

"Yeah..I'm fine." I groaned. "Thanks." I looked to Kili.

"Incoming!" Dwalin yelled.

I spun around to see several massive spiders coming towards us.  The fear...It felt like my heart dropped out of my chest. I hated spiders but this was...it was like watching the movies the first time. I had nearly pissed myself. But there was no time for fear.

I took a deep breath before letting out fairly feisty war cry and charging towards the disgusting thing. I stuck to dashing to a fro and removing their legs as I went. It didn't do much but it did hinder them. It was working at first but then more started swarming in. When were the elves going to drop in? Or did I ruin that for us?

I tried dashing past a spider but I was slowing down and it managed to trip me up. I fell onto the ground, the air left my lungs from the jolt. I shrieked as something took hold of my foot. I twisted around to see the spider that started dragging me. I was just about to strike when a very elven arrow dug itself into one of the things eyes. I let out a breath of relief and twisted back to see Legolas and a group of elves fighting their way to us.

After they arrived the fight ended quickly and they were quick to search us. Thorin looked around in concern in he eyes.

"Where's Bilbo?" Thorin asked quietly.

"He's fine. Don't worry." I said then chuckled. "You know at this rate I'm gonna die before I get to see color."

"Wait..you still haven't found your soulmate?" Ori chimed in.

"No" I said with a shrug.

The elves led us away, but the dwarves huddle close to me. They had all heard my little joke and became deeply concerned. It was and hour or two of travel before we came to large stunning gates.

"Don't look at any body!" Thorin muttered.

I looked down more, though I was a bit confused. "Why?"

No response as we were lead up a walk way through this beautiful kingdom.

I growled in frustration as we stopped. I glanced up. "Thorin.." I stopped as my eyes met Thranduil' s.
