When we finally stopped for the night that we were at a cave. Everyone ate their dinner and I decided to sleep. I was until a noise that I recognized very well.

"What was that," Bilbo asked.

"Orcs," Killi said.

"Orcs," Bilbo asked.

"Throat cutters. There will be dozens of them out there. The lowlands will be crawling with them, they strike in the small hours when everyone's asleep. Quick, and quiet, no screams," Fili said.

"Just lots of blood," Kili said.

That is when I got up and sat by the edge of the cliff. Thorin approached them and made them shut up.

I went back into memory lane, just like Thorin. Balin was explaining the story of Thorin when he stopped. Thorin walked over. I heard footsteps and saw that it was Fili.

"I'm sorry Willow I didn't mean what I said. Thorin told me what happened to why you feel this way about Orcs," Fili said while hugging me.

"Its okay and I am glad he explained it as I could never do it myself again," I said.

"Come on lets get some sleep," Fili said.

All I did was nod my head and I followed him and slept next to him. I knew I ended up cuddling up to him during the night.

The next morning we rode out and it started raining. I was giggling and ignored the complaints from the dwarves.

I ended up squealing and I heard Gandalf laugh at this. Hours passed by and it was time for us to stop again but I knew something was off.
