We where riding in the freezing rain and it was dreadful. I shivered clutching my soaking cloak close to me my lips had turned blue. I caught Thorin occasionally glance my way with concern in his eyes wonder what that's about. Eventually the sun cam out and I sorta dried off. I was still cold and I started sneezing. Oh great I'm sick. Just perfect. When we stopped I immediately hopped of my pony. My legs hurt like heck I had never ridden before. Then I noticed we stopped at a destroyed barn. "Uh this doesn't look safe" I muttered to Gandalf.

"I think it's best if we move on" Gandalf suggested to Thorin.

"We need to rest" Thorin argued.

"We could make for the hidden valley get aid, food, translation for this map, and Bella needs medical assistance she is getting sick" Gandalf pointed out.

"Hey im-" a sneeze cut off my rant. Thorin paused like he was thinking before glaring my way.

"We will not seek help with them" Thorin spat.

"Spare me the stubbornness of dwarves" Gandalf shouted running off.

"Wait where are you going" I yelled.

"To seek council with the only one who has any sense" Gandalf shouted saddling his horse.

"Who is that" I questioned.

"Myself Miss Baggins" Gandalf shouted and galloped off. Well great the only one on this adventure who want some here just left the dwarves might as well kill me in the night. My thoughts were interrupted by sneezes and a shiver. Night fell and I clutched my still damp cloak to me tryong to find warmth. I ate an Apple from my bag and refused food from Bofur.

"Take these too the lads" Bofure asked handing me 2 bowls for Fili and Kili.

"Okay" I said my teeth chattering. I quickly ran too where the ponies where. "Hey I have you sooth" when I said soup because of my oncoming cold it sounded like sooth. No answer. Fili and Kili where just staring. "Um hemmo" I sniffled a bit.

"We where told to watch the ponies thought we have encountered a slight problem" Kili tapped his chin.

"We had 15 ponies" Fili continued.

"Now we have 13" Kili finished.

"Well that is a problem. shoulder we mell Morin" I asked.

"No no we should bother him" Kili shook his head.

"We thought as our official burglar you would look into it" Fili patted my shoulder.

"Uhhh mell it looks as if sofething very big ripped up these trees mossibly dangerous" I coughed as I examined a ripped up a tree.

"Yes that's what we where thinking" Kili nodded. Maybe being sarcastic.

"Look a light" Fili pointed we all snuck a little closer peering through the bushes.

"Trolls" Kili groaned.

"They've got Myrtle and Minty" I got a little scared as we watched the 3 trolls carried Myrtle and Minty into the little crude looking pasture.

"Go get them" Fili said.

"What are you crazy" I asked disbelieving.

"No trolls are slow and stupid they won't even see you" Kili encouraged. Fili and Kili took the soup bowls and shoved me forward.

"If you get into trouble hoot twice like a barn owl and once like a brown owl" Fili said before they disappeared. Not wanting to disappoint them I snuck forward. I slowly crept forwards the pasture the ponies started weighing when they saw me.

"Shhh" I hushed them while trying to uncool the knot. It was stuck I needed a knife of some sort. Then I spotted one. A hook like knife strapped to one of the trolls loin cloths. I took a deep breath and lightly stepped forwards the troll. Please don't see me please don't see me please don't see me I prayed in my head. I got right behind he troll without being noticed. Cautiously I reached to grab the knife when suddenly I was yanked up. I screamed in surprise when I was covered in troll snot. "Oh gross" I squealed like a girl before sneezing myself.

"Look what come out of my hooter" the troll shouted just as surprised as me. The troll had cross eyes.

"What is it" what seemed to be the smartest troll said.

"I dont know what are you" the troll holding me asked.

"I'm a burglahobbit" I caught my mistake.

"A burglahobbit" the troll that hadn't spoken said.

"Can we eat it" the cross eyed troll said.

"Wont be more than a bite tell me are their any more burglahobbits wondering where you shouldn't" the smart one asked.

"Uh nope must me" I shivered.

"Its lying" the one of medium intelligence said.

"Hold it over the fire make her squeal" the leader said. I tried to wriggle free but it was no use.

"DROP HER" Kili suddenly appeared waving his sword.

"What did you say" the leaderish one said.

"I SAID DROP HER" Kili shouted just as the dwarves charged forward out of the bushes. I was harshly thrown to Kili who fell over.

"Sorry" I quickly got up. Kili nodded before joining the fight. I decided that if I couldn't help with a fifth I'd still set the ponies free. So in the chaos I managed to grab the knife. I started sawing the knot loose. "Almost there" I muttered. Finally the rope came loose and the ponies bolted. Dang nabbit I didn't think about that. A grimy hand suddenly grabbed me.

"Put down your arms or well rip ers of" the trolls threatened. Way to go Bella you just lost the fight for the dwarves. I'm such a failure. I hung my head in shame. A few deadly moments passed before Thorin threw his sword down So hard it could have broken. Well I'm touched they care a little.
