"Thorin, why can't we take Gandalf's advice and go to Rivendell? I don't like the feel of this place. I really don't. Something isn't right, I cannot pin point it." said Olivia. "Olivia, this matter doesnt' concern you, go back and eat your supper. End of discussion." snarled Thorin, whom already in a bad mood from his arguement he had with Gandalf earlier.  "Bull shit! It concerns me! It concerns all of us. We could be endangering all of us, if we stayed here!" Olivia snapped at Thorin.  "I said the discussion is over, woman!" barked Thorin. "You're a fool, Thorin Oakenshield!" Olivia yelled at Thorin. Suddenly, Thorin approached Olivia, grabbing her by her shoulders roughly, glaring at Olivia. "Don't you ever call me that again!" roared Thorin, shoving Olivia to the ground, and he stormed away from Olivia. Olivia slowly stood up, and she stormed over to her bedroll, sitting down,bowing her head into her hands. "OLIVIA!" called  out Elsie, as she could see something is wrong with her sister. "What happened?" asked Elsie. "Thorin and I got into a fight. I just need to be alone." said Olivia. "Olivia, you can tell me what happened? What did he say to you?" said Elsie. Suddenly, she noticed a bruise on Olivia's shoulder. "Son of a fucking bitch! Did Thorin did that to you?!" barked Elsie. "He didn't do this. I fell." lied Olivia. Olivia knew Thorin did it. But Elsie could tell that Olivia is lying. "You're lying Olivia. Thorin done this to you, didn't he?" snarled Elsie. "Alright, he done this to me okay?!" shouted Olivia. "I'm not going to have this shit!" roared Elsie and she stormed away from Olivia.

Elsie's POV:

I am pissed. I couldn't believe Thorin had just tried to hurt my sister.  I angrily marched up to Thorin, and I took him by surprise, when I slapped Thorin in the face. "You mother fucker!! How dare you try and hurt my sister!" I shouted. My little scene caught everyone's attention. Thorin stood up, glaring at me. "I didn't lay a hand on her! What are you talking about?!" snapped Thorin. "You liar!! She told me of your argument, and she told me you grabbed her!! She's got the bruises to prove it, you piece of shit!" I screamed. "Thorin--please tell me you didn't!" gasped Balin.  Thorin quickly fell silent. He knew what he had done. "Alright, I done it. I was angry, she got me angry." admitted Thorin. "You had no right doing that to her Thorin. No matter if the two of you argued or not. She doesn't need this right now!" I snapped at the dwarf. "Whatever you two argued about had to be something petty. You should let it go." said Balin, as he told Thorin earlier about his argument with Gandalf. "You sit down and think over what you done. My sister better get an apology before the days over." I said to Thorin and I walked away from him.  

Thorin's POV:

I sat and thought over Elsie and Balin's words. I had overreacted to Olivia, and I deeply regretted of grabbing her. I looked up, and I saw Olivia sitting alone away from the Company, her head bowed in her hands. What have I done? I thought, and I stood up. The more I looked at her, my heart ached. I was just started to like her, and she liked me. I decided to go and talk things off with her before things turn worse. I sat down next to Olivia, as I could hear her sniffling. "Olivia?" I said to the woman."Go away Thorin. I don't want to talk to you." said Olivia. "Olivia, please lets talk about this." I said to Olivia. "No, there is nothing to discuss. Go away." Olivia snapped.  I sighed. What is it going to take to get through to her?  "Olivia, I really didn't mean to grab you the way I done. Its my anger.  If it makes you feel any better, you can hit me back as hard as you can. You have my full consent." I told her gently.  Olivia looked up and gazed into my eyes. She could see the guilt in my features. Then she too realized, the fight was a fluke anyway. "Olivia, I feel terrible. I wish there is a way of making it up to you for doing this." I said. "For starters, help me rub the salve on my shoulders." said Olivia. "Okay." I said. Olivia unlaced her shirt, and revealed her bare shoulders.  

I picked up the salve. I gasped when I saw the bruises. I couldn't believe I done this to her. If my sister was here, and she saw this, she would've punched me in the  face. After I rubbed the salve on Olivia, she covered her shoulders with her shirt.  "Thank you, Thorin." said Olivia. "Look, it won't happen again, Olivia, I promise."  I said. "You better." said Olivia. I chuckled softly, placing my arm around Olivia's shoulders. As soon as I done that, FIli and Kili came running into the camp. "Its Trolls! They got our ponies, and Bilbo's missing, and Elsie's with them!" said Kili.  I stood up. "They got ELSIE?!" Olivia shrieked, who also stood up. Olivia reached her for her weapon, and was about to dart into the forest, when I stopped her. "No. You're staying to kept watch over the camp." I said to Olivia. "Damn it, Thorin! My sister! They got my sister for heaven's sake!" shouted Olivia. "I said you are staying here and watch the camp! And that's an order!" I demanded to Olivia.  "I cannot believe you! Of all the despictable things, and after all I am member of this company too, I have every right to save my sister, you idiot!" Olivia shouted. "I said you're staying here and that's final!" I barked at Olivia.
