I was walking around in a forest, lost and not knowing where I was going. I kept looking behind and sideways for anything such as a track or a way out. It was getting darker by the minute. I was getting worried and nervous. I kept hearing rustles and noises around me.
"What's a girl like you doing in these dangerous parts of the woods?" I turned around to see two men standing, questioning my appearance.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I got lost and I don't know where I am" I replied back. The two guys that stood In front of me looked like fighters with their swords and bow and arrows. One was blonde with plats in his hair. He seemed to be happy, and the other one was a burnet. He seems very serious.
"Would you like to come with us? We're heading to the shire" the blonde one asked. I just smiled and walked with them.
"My name is fili" as the blonde one spoke up.
"And I'm kili" said the other one.
"I'm Cassie" as I smiled at them.
"Lovely name" fili spoke again. I just replied with small laugh. After what seemed to be hours of walking we got to know each other more. They were heading to a meeting with other dwarves to try and get their home land, the lonely mountain back from the dragon smaug. Kili and fili were brothers, kili was an expert and the bow and arrow, and fili was very good with swords. I didn't talk much about myself, because as soon as I found out they were dwarves from the lonely mountain, I knew that me, being a half elf, wasn't a good idea to tell them. The dwarves of the lonely mountain wanted help from the elves in battle but they backed away and on that day became enemies from that day.

We arrived at a small house, partially under the ground. The door opened as fili and kili introduced them selves.
"Fili"
"And kili"
"At your service" the said at the same time.
"Oh, hi. I'm Cassie." I stuttered, I didn't really know what to say. After that we walked into the house, another large and scary looking dwarf greeted kili. I Just hid behind fili, hopping no one would talk to me.
"It's okay, he's a nice one" fili said to me. I just nodded and stayed behind him. There was another dwarf inside, he was short and had white hair and a long white beard. I saw a table surrounded by chairs and decide to sit down in the corner. Later on kili and fili sat either side of me. I guess they could see that I kind of nervous and scared.
"Who is this lady" the big, scary dwarf said. I guess his name is dwalin, after kili talked to him as I heard his name being mentioned. I didn't know what to say. I was scared I might say something wrong. So I stayed quiet and stayed at the table.
"We found her lost in the forest so we helped her and bought here" as fili spoke up. Dwalin looked at me like he was disappointed and walked off into the kitchen with the other dwarf, balin. The door bell rang and bilbo ran to answer the door, he was annoyed, I could hear a whole lot of other dwarves tumble in onto the floor. I just stayed in the corner, hoping no one would notice me. Some dwarves tend to be smart and could possibly could tell I'm a half elf. After what seems to be the most horrific dinner I've ever seen. We all sat down. There were 12 dwarves but 1 was late. I started to get to know everyone else's name. But no one still noticed me. I noticed fili kept looking at me. He just smile. He made me feel safer. There was a hard but short knock on the door. Everyone went quiet and looked at each other with concern.
"He's here" whispered Bofur. We all went over to the door. I was nervous, I could also see it on fili's face. Bilbo opened the door. The dwarf standing at the door looked serious just like kili when I first meet him.
"Thats thorin. He's our uncle. And the king of the lonely mountain" fili said. It felt like my heart jumped in my throat. Thorin and I had made eye contact. The next thing I knew, I was on the floor with the sharpest knife stuck at my throat. I couldn't breath. He was chocking me.
"HOW DARE YOU COME NEAR US, YOU DON'T BELONG HERE" I was nearly out of air. Fili tackled thorin which pushed him off me.
"What are you doing uncle" Fili yelled out, I could see fili was angry. Thorin stood up and stared at Fili in shock.
"Who is she and what is she doing here?" He questioned Fili.
"We found her lost in the Forrest" fili said."And decided to help her."
"Don't you realise that she is part elf?" thorin said, trying to turn everyone on me. They all looked at me. I finally got some air back. I stood up still struggling to breath.
"Then she can fight with us. if she's skilled" said fili. I stood in front of fili facing thorin in the eye. I wanted to get some things straight.
"Thorin, I know you hate elves. But I'm only a half elf and half dwarf. I left my culture behind. I ran away from it. Forever. I don't want to be part of it. I never did. I've been alone for 16 years now. I've trained myself and I fight orcs and trolls. And...Yes, I'm skilled with swords." I said without any fear. I got my bag and I walked out the door away from everyone.
"She could fight with us, it will help. She's skilled. And orcs and trolls cant keep up with elves or smell them, she looks like a dwarf and she's naturally skilled with swords " as fili tried to convince his uncle.
"Well too late, she's gone now" thorin said.
"We'll sleep here and at the first light were set off on our adventure." Thorin demanded, but fili was upset. I set into the forest alone in the dark.

The next day they set of for their adventure. The horses were ready and when their way on their way, bilbo decided to come with.
"Is it just me or do you guys see someone in a tree up there?" Asked balin. They all looked up.
" I'll go see what it is" said fili. He climbed to the top to find me. I was unconscious, and limb.
" it's Cassie, the girl from yesterday, but she's unconscious" fili said.
"Forget her and let's move on" demanded thorin,
"you just expect us to leave her here?"said fili. He just said fine and headed off. He got me on my own horse but I was still unconscious. We trekked for hours and when it was dark, we decided to camp in a cave. Fili, balin and Bofur inspected me.
"She has been poisoned, probably ate a poison berry, of some sort, but not too badly. She'll come back soon" said Balin. Fili sighed with relief. Before the sun came up the next morning, I woke up. Not noticing that thorin, kili and fili were awake. I was coughing hard. Fili came over to make sure I was okay, he seemed really protective over me.
"I'm fine" I said to fili before he asked. Thorin came over to watch. I looked at thorin.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you thorin, i'll leave now" i said as I tried to stop coughing. I got my things and started walking out. Fili glared at thorin.
"It would be nice to have an extra person with us in battle I guess" fili made thorin say. Was he really saying that? I couldn't believe what he was saying. i turned around. He smiled and walked away. I was really happy.
"You should get some sleep while you can. We have a big day day soon" fili said with happiness. He was probably right so I lay down again and almost fell asleep instantly.
