You woke as you felt yourself being lowered. Your head pounded and felt sore where you hit it. You hit the ground head first, of course. You broke out of the cocoon. You shivered, repulsed by spiders. Speaking of spiders, they were coming from every direction. You reached for your sword till you remembered you dropped it when you were knocked out.

"Does anyone have a weapon?" You asked looking around.

Fili threw you a dagger from his jacket. You smiled a thank you. The dagger was a bit short for your liking but better than nothing. It just meant you had to get closer to the spiders. 

The first one had reached the company's circle, the others not far behind. You easily plunged the dagger into the first spider's head. The second one jumped at you before you could completely remove the dagger from the first spider's head. You just had time to hold your dagger so that it pierced the spiders head. The huge arachnid landed, dead, on top of you. You push it off you and roll to the right, narrowly missing a spider that had jumped from a branch above you. Unfortunately, you had accidentally left Fili's dagger in the second spider.

Suddenly an arrow shot past your head and buried itself deep in the spider's eye. Elves came from everywhere, overpowering the spiders. Once the spiders in the immediate area were killed, the elves herded you and the dwarves into a circle and started searching you for weapons.

'One, two, three, four,' You decided to count the dwarves. '...eleven, twelve. There should be thirteen dwarves, plus a hobbit.'

"Kili!" Fili yelled looking for his younger brother. You all heard Kili yell out from over a small hill followed by a screech of a spider.

'Fuck!'

You move to help Kili when an elf with long pale hair and piercing blue eyes stopped you. He pointed his bow and arrow at you.

"You are not going anywhere." He said in a smooth voice.

"I have to go help him," You protested. "It is my job."

"No." The elf said nothing else after and still refused to let you help Kili.

After hearing more screeches from the spiders, Kili was led toward the group by a red-haired elf. The elf who prevented you from helping Kili said something in Elvish. The rest of them nodded and they brought you to the Mirkwood palace.

'Where is Bilbo?'

The elves shut you all in a cell. You sighed and leaned against the wall. The elves had brought Thorin up to talk to King Thranduil. You knew how this was going to end. Thranduil will give Thorin a deal, but Thorin will turn it down because he is a stubborn dwarf.

'We are going to die down here.'
