We hear howls echoing. They sent Bilbo to see if the orc pack is near or not. Bilbo runs back, he said we're going to have worry about something else. A bear but bigger. The dwarves are all talking at once.

"There is a house." Gandalf said.

"Who's? Friend or enemy?" Asks Thorin.

"He could be our friend or he could be our enemy."

"What choices do we have?"

"None."

We start to run. We just run and run to the house which Gandalf speak of. I run behind Gloin. Bombur run pass us. The house is now in front of us and the creature gets closer to us. The door are closed. They keep pushing, a piece of wood is keeping it closed. Thorin get the wood off from it's place and we all go in. The creature tries to go in but we manage to lock the door again. So, a skin changer. I've never seen one before. In fact, i have never cross this way before.

Gandalf tells us to rest. I put my self down and make the floor comfy enough. Fìli sit down beside me. He get up and walk to one of the animals.

Fìli's POV

I peek a glance at her, she's staring at a pole blankly. Why is she always the first one to make a move. Even since our first meeting. I walk back and sit down next to her. The others are silent, all weary. I never did thought that it would be this tiring. And it's just a quarter of the whole thing. I take the apple that's hidden in my coat. I bite it as quiet as i can.

"Want some?" I ask her.

"No, i'm not very fond of apples." She smiles. "You'll know why later."

"More for me then." I say as i take another bite.

After i finish the apple my eyes feel heavy. She's not asleep yet. Then it's all black.

Back to Nili's POV

Fìli is already snoring, so are the others. I can't sleep again, not because of the effect that i'm half elf. Bilbo's ring makes me can't sleep. He plays the golden ring between his fingers. The ring looks like it's shining but the light is dim. I stay still watching the ring. Questions begin to form in my mind. Where did he get it? Did he have it before this? Is that just a regular ring or not? Why am i interested in this? Most importantly, did he got it from Misty Mountain? If yes, then he have met Golumn. Is that how he got past Balin? Is

I hear footsteps. So does he, he doesn't play with the ring anymore. I try to clear my mind and sleep. After so many years, tonight i'm dreaming.

My throat is dry. I hear sword clanging and screams. I look around me to see chaos. I'm in a battle field. In front of me is the army of an alliance between men, dwarf, and elf. Behind me is a legion of orcs. Which side am i? Every elf, dwarf, and men in my path attack me and i kill them all. No orc attack me. My swords is covered in blood, red blood. I see my reflection from my sword. Black and red glowing eyes. I put down my sword, in front of a familiar dwarf is running towards me. He stops in front of me, his eyes full of hope. He reaches for my hand, as he take up my hand i see a ring. A same ring as what he wears. My other hand stab him on his left chest.

I wake up straight. What was all of that? The image is still in my head. I can't hold it anymore, my true eyes reveal themselves. The spell isn't there anymore. How am i going to hide it now?
