I just sat there staring at the fire. I had told them everything. All about my brother, the monsters, and Kavora talking in people's heads. Another thing that she told them was that she could read minds. Even I didn't know that. "Wow," Sydney and Nicki breathed out at the same time. I nodded. We were all a little shaken up by all of this chaos thats been happening. "Hannah why did you want to check on the cave so badly?" Joey asked giving me a skeptical look. What, does he think that I was going to try to do something stupid? Kavora whipped her head towards me. He's only worried. Don't think too much, she told me. I grinned and answered, "Joey, I didn't plan on doing anything stupid. I just felt like it would be smart to go and see what we're getting ourselves into." Leo smacked Joey on the back. "Forest girl's got a point. Even though that was a stupid idea anyway," Leo comented, walking over to me and wrapping an arm around my shoulders. I'm still happy that we finally got the nicknames for each other. "Alright is everyone packed? Fish brain ya ready?" I asked Nicki, grinning at the new nickname I made for Nicki. She glared at me, but nodded anyway. Ben messed up her hair and said, "I like that nickname. It suits you." Nicki glared at him and stomped over to the bags to grab hers. "I say we leave tonight. At midnight," Ben said. He looked over to me after he said that and I nodded. "Yeah, we found somewhere we can go," I said staring into the fire. There was a song that reminds me of this. What was that song....oh yeah. The moment the thought came to mind I began to sing my once favorite song.


Oh, misty eye of the mountain below

Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls

And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke

Keep watching over Durin's son,


If this is to end in fire

Then we shall all burn together

Watch the flames climb high into the night

Calling out father, stand by and we will

Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side,


By this time Joey had begun to play the guitar along with singing. Sydney and Anna began to sing as well. Everyone else just sat and listened to the words of the song.


And if we should die tonight

Then we should all die together

Raise a glass of wine for the last time

Calling out father, prepare as we will

Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side

Desolation comes upon the sky,


Now I see fire, inside the mountain

I see fire, burning the trees

And I see fire, hollowing souls

I see fire, blood in the breeze

And I hope that you'll remember me,


Oh, should my people fall

Then surely I'll do the same

Confined in mountain halls

We got too close to the flame
