The Road Ahead - HOBBIT FANFICTION

Chapter Six

Fili's P.O.V.

It was nearly day break when we headed back to the Inn. The dew had settled on our saddles, making our butts wet when we sat in them. The only sound in the town was the hoof beats of our horses. It was so peaceful. As we got closer to the inn, we could see that the company was about to leave.

Kili handed me my things and got onto Shadow with Aeremys. Gandalf was the last one out of the inn and on his horse. "We need to make up for the time that we lost yesterday." Gandalf said as everyone got on horses and ponies.

Salaera's P.O.V.

I handed Aeremys her things, and went over to my horse, Shima. She nudged her nose into my hand as I fed her a sugar cube. I got into the saddle and followed the rest of the company into a nearby forest.

It was damp and dark in the forest. The horses got spooked numerous times on the way to our next sleeping place. Aeremys' horse, Shadow, got spooked by a rustling bush and jumped to the side, making Kili fall off. Everyone had a good long laugh at that.

It was almost nightfall when we crossed a river and decided to stop for the night at an abandoned farm.

Gandalf's P.O.V.

I got off of my horse and walked over to the farm house that was falling apart. "I think it would be wiser to move on. We could make for the Hidden Valley." I said to Thorin. He looked at me with a smug look on his face and said, "I have already told you, I will not go near that place."

I walked back to my horse and got on, and road away, I have had enough of dwarves for one day.

Vamorys' P.O.V.

I had a bad feeling about this place. The whole place smelled of death. "I'm going to go for a walk. Try and secure a perimeter." I told Dwalin before turning Ezara and crossing the river and into the forest.

I rode around, thinking to myself about what that place could be. And only one word came to my mind, Trolls. I ran back to the campsite as fast as I could, when we got there, no one was there. I tied Ezara to a tree and grabbed Onox. I took a few steps into the forest, and before I could turn around, I was grabbed by a Warg.

I tried to get away, but my middle section and my arms were trapped in its mouth. The Warg started to run away and then stopped and growled at something. I looked back, seeing Bilbo look at the thing in fear before the Warg took off.

Bilbo's P.O.V.

First it is Trolls, now Vamorys is being taken by Wargs. What's next? I thought to myself. I looked at the Trolls and tried to think of ways to save the dwarves and the two girls whilst the Trolls thought of ways to eat them.

"I think we should sit on them and squash 'em into jelly." One of the Trolls said, grabbing at one of the dwarves.

"N-not that one! He's infested! In fact they all are. I wouldn't risk it, really." The dwarves began protesting until Thorin kicked them, and they realized the plan. Then they began gloating about how big their parasites were.

"I've got parasites as big as my arm."

"Mine are the biggest parasites, I've got huge parasites."

"Well burglar-hobbit, what would you have us do then, let 'em go." One of the Trolls asked me.

I saw Gandalf walk behind a boulder, trying not to be seen. "The dawn will take you all!" Gandalf yelled and cracked the boulder in two, letting the sunlight turn the Trolls into stone.

As I helped Gandalf release the others, I told him about what had happened to Vamorys.

Azog's P.O.V.

The black Warg put the girl down and walked away. She stood up and readied her sword. The Necromancer circled the girl and then took her over. She put the sword back into its sheath and then stood there.

"You will no longer be known as Vamorys. You will only be known as Mahina." The Necromancer said.

The Necromancer left and things returned back to normal. "We leave now." I said, mounting my white Warg. The black Warg went to Mahina and let her get on. We rode off towards the dwarf scum.

~~~

Thorin's P.O.V.

"Where did you go?" I asked Gandalf as I helped the rest of the company get to their feet. "Looking ahead." He replied. "What made you come back?" I asked. "I looked behind." Gandalf said as we walked into the Trolls cave.

There were bones and gold everywhere. Some of the dwarves stopped and put some of the gold into a chest and buried it in the ground. "We're making a long term deposit." One of the dwarves chuckled.

Gandalf picked up a sword and handed it to me, and then grabbed one for himself. We left the cave and stood outside waiting for Gandalf. When he came out of the cave, he handed Bilbo a sword and then walked back to the rest of us.

A rustling sound came from bushes not too far off. Another wizard and a sleigh led by rabbits jumped out of the bush.

~~~

Mahina's P.O.V.

Azog led us to the Hidden Valley where we waited to attack the dwarf scum. We sent two of our Wargs out to scare away the ponies and hurry the dwarves to the valley. "You and I will wait here until," Azog said, waiting for me to finish the sentence. "The dwarves enter the valley. Then I will go down and block the entrance." I said. "And if Rivendell's riders show up," Azog asked. "Then I get off of Nyala, let her run and go with the Elves until I can escape." I said.

Something appeared in the valley. It didn't smell like a dwarf, so the rest of the riders went after it, leaving Azog and I to watch for the dwarves.

"THERE! GO!" Azog said.

Nyala jumped off of the ledge and ran close to the entrance to Rivendell. I saw the dwarves headed this way. When they were almost at the entrance, we blocked their path.

Fili's P.O.V.

Everyone stopped dead in their tracks. I looked around the group and I could see why. There was a huge black Warg in our way. "I thought Radagast was supposed to keep them away from us." Bilbo said.

It was only then that I saw who the rider was. Vamorys. I thought to myself. I pushed past the other dwarves and went up to her.

"Vamorys, is that you?" I asked her. She looked at me and then said, "That's not my name." She got off the Warg and pulled out Onox.

"Nyala, Go." She said and the Warg ran off into the distance and didn't return. She stepped closer to me and put Onox in front of her in a fighting stance. She swung the sword, but before she hit me with it, Kili put his sword out in front of me. They fought, allowing the rest of us to get to safety.

In the distance horns blew, and almost as if she was in a trance, she returned to normal. She and Kili jumped into the hole and slid down into the passageway.
