The Hobbit: Book One

Chapter Nine

   We were running across a bridge when the goblin king showed up out of nowhere and stood on the bridge while Goblins surrounded us. "You thought you could escape me?" I heard him grumble and I held onto Fili's hand tighter, seeing as he was guiding me through. I saw him glance a smile at me and I looked down. The Great Goblin had swung his mace at Gandalf and he almost fell over but the dwarves caught him and pushed him back up "what are you going to do now, wizard?" Gandalf was about to do something but we heard a voice and I looked around as I noticed who it was "Back Off, Great Goblin!" I heard her. The woman jumped on the great goblin with her knives and stabbed them through his head and he fell to the ground. Causing the bridge to shake and collapse, I didn't get a good look at the woman, but I had a feeling.

   We all fell and landed onto the ground, some buried underneath the rubble. I groaned and coughed. Then I heard Bofur speak up "Well, that could have been worse" I roll my eyes and as he said that the goblin kings body had landed on the very top of the pile. Causing me to yell out in pain and all the other dwarves just grunted. "You've got to be joking" I heard Dwalin and I ripped myself from the pile. I saw a hand and I looked up and saw Azariah, I quickly stood up and hugged her "You're okay! I thought the worst" I looked down sadly. Many of the dwarves looked over when they heard me speak elvish. I heard screeching and I looked up seeing Goblins "Gandalf!" I heard Kili then Dwalin "There's too many! We can't fight them" I nodded and looked at Gandalf "Only one thing will save us: Daylight! Come on! Here, on your feet" he helped some dwarves then we all started running.

   As soon as we got outside he started counting us, I was too busy talking with Azariah "what happened Aoibheann? Why is your face like that?" She lightly touched my face and I flinched "Rock battle, nothing to worry about" I smiled and I heard Thorin "Out of the frying pan..." Than Gandalf "...and into the fire! Run! RUN!" I heard Orcs and I started tunning until we hit a dead end and I heard Gandalf yell quickly "Up into the trees, all of you! Come on, climb!" I jumped into a tree far from the others and I noticed Azariah did the same. We watched as Wargs attacked, I then saw Azog, riding the white Warg.  "Nuzdigid? Nuzdi gast? (Translation; Do you smell it? The scent of fear?) Ganzilig-i unarug obod nauzdanish, Torin undag Train-ob (Translation; I remember your father reeked of it, Thorin son of Thrain)" I went to jump down but Azariah grabbed me, I looked at her and she shook her head "Not worth it" she had whispered and I looked back down at Azog. "Kod, Toragid biriz (Translation; That one is mine) Worori-da! (Translation; Kill the others!)" I had heard him loud and clear. The Wargs attacked the trees and almost all of them fell other except for the one tree that Gandalf had been on. "Sho gad adol! (Translation; Drink their blood!)" I broke free from Azariah's grasp and I jumped down in front of the white Warg and Azog only gazed down at me and smirked. I noticed flames in the Wargs eyes and I glanced behind me noticed the grass and all was on fire while the Wargs ran away in fear. The white Warg then bit my midsection and I screamed in pain and I grabbed out a dagger and stabbed the Wargs face. The Warg shook his head and threw me far from him and I almost tumbled over the cliff, I screamed and held on while trying to apply pressure to my sides. Tears gathered in my eyes while I heard voices "Aoibheann! Wait for me!" I look and noticed Fili and Kili running over while Azariah and Thorin distracted Azog. I looked at Fili "I can't hardly move Fili" he shook his head "you can do this" he smiled and took hold of one bloody hand while Kili grabbed my other hand.

   I screamed in pain as they pulled me up and they laid me on the ground as I could hardly move "it's okay, everything will be all right" I nodded while shaking and Fili applied pressure to my wounds "Kili! We need a cloth" but Kili was distracted by Thorin being picked up by the white Warg and behind tossed aside. Everyone was screaming Thorin's name as Fili was trying to keep me awake. Azariah had ran over and shook my shoulders "Don't you dare. You can't die. Not now" Azariah started tearing up, I never saw her cry before. She held me close to her and my vision showed dark spots "The eagles are coming" is the last thing I heard before I passed out.

I woke up in the arms of Fili, is what I had noticed. I looked up at him and he smiled "you're finally awake" I closed my eyes again and I heard him chuckle. I then felt another person grab me and hug me "I feared the worst!" I smiled and opened my eyes. Azariah hugging me tightly, I slightly groaned and she released "sorry" I waved it off then noticed the dwarves staring at the Lonely Mountain. Fili helped me stand up along with Azariah and they helped me wall to the edge of the rock "is that what I think it is?" I glanced at Thorin to see him nod. I smiled and heard Bilbo "You're right. I do believe the worst is behind us" I smiled and looked back at Bilbo then looked ahead.
