Olivia's POV:

The next morning, I woke up. And I saw Thorin was not there. I assumed that he probably went and gathered up the rest of the Company to meet out in the courtyard before we leave Rivendell. As I got dressed, my sister Elsie ran into my room. "Olivia! Olivia! I got bad news!" cried out Elsie. She looked terribly upset. "Elsie, what's wrong?" I asked her. "They're gone! They left us!" cried Elsie. "WHAT?!" I screamed. "I woke up, thinking that FIli is still laying beside me, and I saw that he is gone, alongside with the others. And so I went and asked Lindir if he had seen the Company, and he said they left!" exclaimed Elsie. After hearing this, it not only angered me, but it hurt me. I felt betrayed. I couldn't believe Thorin would leave without a word of good bye. We cannot be left behind. I promised Galadriel and Gandalf I would help the dwarves. Why is Thorin doing this to me?! "DAMN IT! DAMN IT!" I screamed, kicking a few things on the floor.  I was furious. I started hitting the walls. "I better go find Gandalf." said Elsie softly, and she quickly left after she saw me having my melt down.  It didn't take long for Gandalf and Elrond to arrive when they saw me doubled over on the floor, weeping. "Olivia, are you okay?" asked Gandalf, shocked to see me like this. "They--left-us behind, Gandalf..they didn't even say good bye to us!"  I choked. "wHAT?!" exclaimed Gandalf and Elrond together.

It even angered Gandalf when he heard this, but he remained calm, as he usually do. "Listen Olivia. I have brought you here to help the dwarves, and you will help them in spite of Thorin's stubborn ways." said Gandalf gently, trying to comfort me. "I thought he loved me!" I sobbed to the wizard. "Of course he loves you, Olivia." said the wizard gently. "Then why would he just walk off and leave me and Elsie behind without a word? It's wrong, I tell you! Downright wrong!" I shouted. "Olivia, calm down. Pack your belongings, you will go and catch up with them. I'm sure they wouldn't be far." advised Gandalf. "What of you?" asked Elsie. "I will catch up with all of you later. I have a meeting tonight with the White Council." replied Gandalf. "Come Olivia, we got to get going if we want to catch up with them." said Elsie. "Once we do, I'm going to give that stubborn ass dwarf a piece of my frikken mind! After I find me some animal blood." I said.  Elsie could sense that my cravings for blood as returned, and she knew that with Thorin and Company leaving us behind, didn't help my cravings and moods any either. 

After we packed our belongings, we made our departure from Rivendell.  For hours we had been out on the road.  Shortly, nightfall came.  We walked in the dark, hoping we would find the Company camping somewhere.  "Elsie, slow down! Why do you have to go so damn fast?!" I called out to Elsie. "I saw a light over there!" called out Elsie ahead of me.  Suddenly, she was getting farther ahead, and it frustrated me. "ELSIE! Slow down!" I shouted to her. Suddenly, she didn't respond to me. Suddenly, I hear a dark voice behind me, mocking my words. "Elsie, Elsie! You will never see your sister or nor your precious friends again!" sneered the dark voice. I turned and saw an Orc standing in front of me. "MASTER! We have found her!" called out the orc.  No, no, this cannot be happening. Not now!  Suddenly, I saw Azog approaching me, sneering at me. "Take her to our camp!" ordered the Pale Orc. "LET GO OF ME!" I screamed.  "You will be our slave, daughter of Lorkur!" growled Azog. "ELSIE!" I screamed.

Elsie's POV:

I could hear Olivia screaming from behind me. I felt horrible that I didn't slow down for her after she asked me too. And so I went back to find her. "Olivia?! Where are you?! Olivia?!" I called out for her.  By the time I came to the spot where I last saw her, I found something on the ground that belonged to her. "Oh no!" I gasped.  Someone must've kidnapped her. I panicked. I didn't know what to to do now. But the only thing I should do is find the Company.  And so I did.  I moved on.  Suddenly, I saw the light ahead of me, and I prayed it was the dwarves camping.  Suddenly, I saw a familiar figure standing ahead of me. It was Dwalin. "Who goes there?!" called out Dwalin, as he saw me approaching. "Dwalin, its me Elsie!" I called out. "ELSIE?! Is that really you?!" exclaimed Dwalin, and he approached me. "Where is Olivia?" asked Dwalin, a concerned look on his face.  And that's when I broke down. "I don't know, Dwalin. I think she's been kidnapped. I'm not sure who's gotten her, but someone has taken her!"  I sobbed.  What was Thorin thinking of leaving these two behind? What do I have to do, to make him listen? Knock some sense into him? the dwarf thought. "Come, lets go and tell the others what's going on." said Dwalin quickly, as we entered their camp.
