"Gandalf! You can't just leave them like that" I shouted as I finally caught up with him, planting myself in front of him and crossing my arms over my chest.

"Fawna, my dear please move aside, I just need a moment to calm myself" Gandalf huffed a slight glare in his eyes.

"Nope, no can do" I said quickly, puffing up my chest to make myself appear bigger; not that it helped much I was slightly smaller then most dwarves.

"Fawna! Enough of your silly games, I have other things to deal with at the moment other then your childish antics" he snapped, before practically picking me up and moving me to the side; while I swung my arms out at him with defiance.

"Gandalf, you can't go around picking people up!" I snapped before rushing forward, once again planting myself in front of the wizard "What an earth are you playing at? I know Thorin is being a little pig headed but they need you" I said crossing my arms in annoyance, glaring up at the taller man.

"Fawna! Move yourself!" Gandalf yelled loudly, causing my to stumble back a few paces; my face dropping instantly as I turned to move away from him "Fawna.." he started only for me to put a hand up to stop him.

"Just go Gandalf" I muttered, before tuning and walking back the way we'd come; back towards my dwarves.

"Fawna look" came the worried voice of Gandalf, I turned slowly with bored eyes before they landed on the large footprints he was pointing at; I looked back towards him with a worried look as I quickly analysed the situation.

"They are heading straight towards the company" I muttered with troubled look, my eyes moving to land on the wizard.

"Fawna you go ahead and see if you can slow things down if the dwarves have gotten themselves into any trouble" Gandalf said quickly "Be swift my friend".

Giving a stiff nod I turned and sprinted into the trees, feeling the change over take me I dropped forward and allowing the change to complete itself; before sprinting back to way I'd come only now I was on four legs.

*Thorin POV*

I watched in horror as my men were stuffed into bags and thrown aside, my eyes darting around looking for a means of escape when I heard the hobbit start babbling; taking about how the trolls should cook us. Everyone around me starting protesting at his words and shouting out insults, but I quickly caught onto the hobbits antics and a swift kick at Kili brought his attention onto me; telling them the plan without saying a word, they quickly changed their tune and began agreeing.

"Lets just squash them and eat them raw" one of the trolls moaned, lifting Nori up and hanging him over he's mouth; causing a loud outburst to ring out from us, when a loud roar reached our ears.

All of us paused and looked around slightly in fear, when a large black panther leapt from the tree line and launched itself at the troll holding Nori; scaling up it's leg and reaching it's face in a matter of moments. With a pained yell the troll flung Nori down, trying to get the cat off of him; the cat moved with lightening reflexes jumping between the three trolls scratches and bites being left in it's wake.

"The dawn will take you!" came a loud shout, I turned and spotted Gandalf stood upon a large boulder before he split it in two, allowing the sunlight to pour into the darken opening; causing the trolls to instantly turn to stone and the large cat to fall to the floor; landing on all four feet. It crouched looking for any other threats, it's head spinning left and right "Ok Fawna it's safe, we got them you can relax" Gandalf chuckled approaching the cat, who had relaxed at the wizards words.

"Fawna?" I asked softly, my eyes boring into the cat's who was looking at me with soft eyes, it bowed it's head before standing and walking over rubbing against some of my men with a soft purr, before making eye contact with Fili appearing to give him a once over, before turning and butting heads with me and strolling back into the trees.
