Thorin managed to cut open his sack with the knife that Febe had dropped and he started to help his companions. Together they helped each other but let the girls just hanging where they were.
"Feel free to help us down ANY time..." Simone said. "We'll just be hanging here." Blood was running to Jessica's head and Febe could feel her dress start to rip.
Gandalf chuckled and walked up to the girls. He helped Jessica down first; she collapsed on her back when she hit the ground. Then he helped Simone, who landed on top of her friend and when he was about to help Febe her dress ripped and she fell face first to the ground. Simone and Jessica laughed as they helped their friend up.
"Praise the Lord!" Febe said dramatically when she stood on her feet. "Thank goodness I'm still wearing my bra. Good think I lost weight too."
"You might want to wear this." Simone said and handed her leather jacket to Febe. "I think that Thorin might kill the others if they enjoy the view."
"Ha ha." Febe snorted. "Very funny. Hilarious!"
Suddenly Simone and Jessica squeaked and Febe jumped a foot in the air but calmed down that it was only Fili and Kili lifting them in a tight hug.
"Thank Mahal you're alright." Kili said and he snuggled his face in Jessica's back.
"You had us scared half to death for a moment." Fili said and tightened his grip around Simone, causing her to yelp a little.
"Fili… Can't breath!"
Febe had to bite her lip not to smile. Guess I was right after all.
"I'll leave you lov-"She cut herself off. If she said the word she wanted to say then Febe had no doubt that her friends would kill her. "Guys alone for a moment." She smiled and walked up to the wizard to thank him but unfortunately Thorin was there too.
"What in Durin's name do you think you were doing?!" Thorin growled when he saw Febe approaching in the corner of his eye. He turned around and faced her. "I thought I told you to stay put?"
"You did." Febe said through clenched teeth and walked closer. "But do I really look like I care what you say? You were supposed to be right back!"
"Do I hear a little concern in your voice?"
"No!" Febe said and shook her head. "Just because we helped save your royal ass doesn't mean that we were worried about you guys! It only proves that men can't do anything themselves!"
"Everything was going exactly as planned."
"Ha! Do you really want me to believe that?" She snorted. "You were biting your ropes. I don't think that that is a sign of 'everything under control'."
Simone and Jessica had managed to get out of the brothers grips and walked up to their friend.
"Looks like everything is going like it should." They smiled.
"Shut up!" Thorin snapped at them.
"Oh, don't talk to them like that!" Febe said. "They helped to save your lives so you-"
"Save our lives?!" He hissed. "You brought yourself into danger and that was exactly what I ordered you not to do!"
"Jess, please tell me that you still have you bow on you because I really want to shoot an arrow through his head right now!" Febe said to Jessica, her eyes never leaving the king. "A simple thank you would have been fine too, you know. But I see you are more of the 'I do not need any help' type of a guy so we'll just leave for dead next time." She turned on her heals and stomped away.
"Well done." Simone snorted to Thorin and walked after her friend.
"Smooth." Jessica said and turned to Gandalf. "Thanks for helping us though." She turned back to the king. "See… It's not that hard to say." And Jessica followed after the others.
XxX
"He is really starting to get on my nerves." Febe growled softly when they reached camp. "Help them to buy time and what do we get? Not even a 'thank you'!"
"Well those people do exist." Simone sighed. "Guess he's one of them."
"Don't worry about it." Jessica smiled and patted Febe on her back. "He'll warm up to you soon enough."
"Easy for you to say." Febe answered. "You guys got Fili and Kili."
"Oooh…" Simone smirked and poked her in the side. "Jealous are we? I thought you didn't like Thorin?"
"I don't."
"Then why are you blushing?" Jessica laughed.
"I'm not." Febe mumbled and closed her eyes. "Shut up."
"You do like him!" Simone said in an uncontrolled laugh. "This is fucking hilarious."
"Oh, don't start that crap with me now." She pinched the bridge of her nose and took a deep breath. "You remind me of my mother."
"Well what are we going to do now?"
"You guys can go back to Fili and Kili if you want to." Febe sighed. "You don't have to stay with me if you don't want to. I just need some space away from the others."
Jessica yawned and stretched. "Maybe we should go to sleep." She said. "I am really tired. We should never have been up all night. This was a terrible idea."
"Yeah, I think Fili broke one of my ribs." Simone said.
"And I ripped out of my dress." Febe snorted. "As if this day couldn't have started better. What I need right now are M&M's."
"Amen!" The two others laughed.
All of the sudden Bifor came walking through the tree. He jumped and pointed and said some thing in Khuzdul.
"What is he saying?" Jessica questioned.
"I think he wants us to follow him." Simone concluded as Bifor walked up to them and grabbed her by the arm.
"Yep, diffidently wants us to follow."
XxX
Bifor dragged the girls to a cave the dwarves had found. They quickly covered their mouths and noses to protect themselves from the horrible smell. Febe had to fight the feeling of throwing up.
"Do I want to know?" Febe asked into her hand. "I would rather die then go in there."
"That can be arranged." She heard Thorin say from within the cave. "Now get in here!"
"Alright. Alright." She grumbled and the three friends walked in.
"Holy shit." Simone said. "Look at all this stuff!"
The cave was filled with clothes, bags, gold, weapons, other stuff and a lot of dead things too. The girls walked past the dwarves and deeper into the cave, it was so dark that they could barely see each other.
Jessica screamed and Simone jumped into Febe's arms. "What is it?!" She asked worried and scared. "Is there another troll?!"
"No! Look!" Jessica said and walked closer to her friends with three backpacks in her hands. "Our BACKPACKS!"
"HOLY SHIT!" Febe and Simone screamed in joy at the same time and they ran out of the cave where there was more light.
"Guys look!" Febe shouted over joyed when she turned her backpack upside down. Everything she brought with her on the plane was still in her green purple-checkered backpack and everything fell out. A book called Showdown from Ted Dekker, a sketchbook, pencils, pens, her old stuffed rabbit, a bottle of Coca Cola and a bag of M&M's. She jumped in the air when she pulled out her camera. "Holy Moses, Jesus Christ!"
Jessica opened hers brown, animal fur messenger bag. She pulled out her tablet, sketchbook, pencils and pens, anime comic books, deodorant, a bag of popcorn and a bottle of Ice Tea. "Son of a bitch!"
Simone opened her black backpack and pulled out her iPod, phone, just like the others her sketchbook, pens and pencils, The Awakening from Kelly Armstrong, bottle of Coca Cola and gummy worms. "I think my heart just skipped a beat!"
The girls quietly gave each other a look and screamed before giving each other a hug, jumping around in a circle. They let go and giggled like a couple of schoolgirls. The re-stuffed their bags before hugging it tight and screaming again.
"What on earth is the matter?" Gandalf said with his pinky in his ear. They had obvious been screaming a little too loud.
"WE FOUND OUR STUFF!" They screamed again which caused the surrounding dwarves to close their ears again.
"This is so fucking awesome!" Febe gasped. "I have M&M's!"
"I got my gummy worms!" Simone squeaked. "I think I'm dying."
"I got popcorn." Jessica said and held a bag of microwave popcorn in the air.
Febe and Simone face-palmed themselves.
"You know you have to pop those first right?" Febe asked her.
"I know."
"How on earth do you want to do that?"
"We hold it above the fire." Jessica said as if her friend asked her a stupid question.
"Bu-but why is there a bag of un-popped popcorn in your bag?" Simone asked.
"I don't know." She mumbled and lifted her shoulders. "But you know me. I never know what I have in my bag!"
"True."
"Let's get out of this fowl place." Thorin said from within the cave. "Go on. Let's go."
Suddenly the friends could smell their bags and quickly covered their noses. "Think we could use your deo, Jess?"
"Please." Jessica said and started to stray with her deodorant. The girls basically disappeared in a cloud with the smell of flowers.
The dwarves started to cough and wave their hands in front of their faces. "Make it stop!" Kili pleaded.
"You are killing us over here." Fili said. "Now you smell even worse then those elves!"
XxX
Gandalf came walking out of the cave and handed Bilbo a small sword. Jessica looked at his face, he didn't look very confident with it. She wanted to help him but she realized that she didn't really know how to use a sword. Maybe she could ask Simone to help him.
"Something is coming!" Thorin shouted.
"Stay together." Gandalf said. "Hurry now."
Jessica jumped off of the rock that she was sitting on and pulled her bag on her shoulder before grabbing her bow and an arrow. She patted Bilbo on the back and they followed after the others.
"What do you think i-it is?" Bilbo asked a little worried.
"As long it isn't an other troll I don't care." Jessica smiled over her shoulder and stepped next to her friends.
"Thieves, fire, murder!" A man with long brown robes and a brown hat came crashing through the trees on a sleigh being pulled by rabbits. Everyone carefully lowered their weapons as the man caught his breath.
"Radagast." Gandalf smiled. "It's Radagast the Brown."
"Who?" Simone frowned.
"Probably another wizard by the looks of him." Febe whispered. "It's not like I know that man."
"What on earth are you doing here?" Gandalf asked the brown wizard.
"I was looking for you Gandalf." He said a little quick. "Something is wrong. Something is TERRIBLEY wrong."
"Yes?"
Radagast was about to speak but couldn't remember what he wanted to say. He thought for a moment then wanted to speak again but lost his words again. The girls frowned a bit at the confused wizard; something was really wrong with the man.
"I had the thought and now I've lost it. It-It was right there on the tip on my tongue!" Radagast froze for a quick moment. "Oh, it wasn't a thought at all. It was a little… Stick insect."
Simone took a step back while Gandalf pulled out the stick insect of Radagast's mouth. She had to lean against a tree for a little moment and the wizards trotted off for a private conversation.
XxX
Simone and Jessica were playing a game on Jessica's tablet while Febe was drawing in her sketchbook
"Three out of four!" Jessica frowned. "I will not let you win over my own game!"
"Fine." Simone laughed. "But I'm a professional so don't cry when you loose again."
"Funny." Jessica snorted and touched the reset button. "But you won't think it's funny when I crush you! HA HA."
"Do I want to know what they are doing?" Bilbo whispered as he crawled besides Febe.
"They are playing a game." She answered looking up from the paper and placed the pencil behind her ear. "It's called 2 Player reactor. We use to play it in school a lot."
"On that board thingy?"
"Yeah, it's called a tablet." Febe smiled. "It's a gadget from where we live."
"Why don't you play?"
"It's for two players. We take turns."
"You draw?" Bilbo asked a little excited. "Looks good."
"Thanks." She said. "It's just a couple of doodles. Nothing big."
"Hey look, there's me!" He beamed and pointed in the drawing. Febe had been drawing a couple of members from the company; or at least trying. The sketches were ready she was only lining them and adding details. Carefully the hobbit watched while she continued but they grew alert when they heard a howl kind of noise.
"Was that a wolf?" Bilbo asked a bit scared. "A-are there wolves out there?"
"Wolves?" Bofur repeated and the girls carefully got to their feet. "No, that is not a wolf."
"Um… Guys!" Simone pointed above them and everybody spinned around when they heard twigs break. A giant warg attacked them but not before Thorin cut it down. Another on jumped up and charged at the three girls.
"Kili!" Jessica shouted.
Kili grabbed his bow and shot an arrow. The animal crashed and Dwalin finished it off.
"What are they?!" Febe asked shocked.
"Warg scouts." Thorin said and pulled his sword out of the animal. "Which means that a orc pack is not far behind."
"Orc pack?" Bilbo asked.
"Who did you tell about you quest beyond your kin?" Gandalf asked Thorin.
"No one."
"Who did you tell?!"
"No one, I swear!" Thorin growled. "What in Durin's name is going on?"
"You are being hunted." Gandalf replied.
"This is really bad." Jessica said as she ran her hand through the warg's fur.
"We have to get out of here." Dwalin said.
"We can't!" Ori said as he stepped in front of the trees together with Bifor. "We have no ponies. They bolted."
"Luck really in on our side today." Febe huffed.
"I'll draw them off." Radagast said.
"These are Gundabag wargs." Gandalf argue. "They'll out run you."
"These are Rhosgobel rabbits." He argued back. "I'd like to see them try."
"Alright." Gandalf finally agreed. "Everybody lets go. Girls grab your backpacks and let's go! Radagast… Be careful."
XxX
Gandalf peaked his head from beyond a boulder and gave everything a quick scan while Radagast led the wargs and orcs away. "Come along." He said quickly and everybody followed. They ran over the field as fast as they could. The howls and the growls past them as Radagast led them the other way.
"Somehow I wish I never skipped gym!" Jessica said between breaths. "I don't know how much longer I can last." She started to slow down but her friends dragged her by her arms.
"Just a little further." Febe said ignoring the burn in her own lungs. "We can do it. Just don't think about it!"
Together they ran into the others standing behind a rock. Gandalf gave then a worried look but Simone signed that they were fine.
"Alright." He said when everything was clear again. "Come along. Quick!"
They ran again but this time in weird curves and turns. Febe stumbled over her own feet but quickly crawled back up. Simone was still pulling Jessica and Febe pushed her from behind. If they didn't stop soon then they would all collapse. Febe's lungs were burning, Jessica's legs were giving in and Simone had a sting in her side that felt like she was being stabbed by a hundred knives but they still kept on running until they were pushed against a wall of the boulder. A warg and its rider were standing right on top of them.
Thorin gave Kili a look and Kili quietly put an arrow in his bow. He jumped away and shot the arrow in the wargs shoulder.
"You miss in a time like this?!" Jessica asked.
Kili shot another arrow at the warg, which caused it to fall. Its screams were horrible. Dwalin, Thorin and Bifor attacked the Orc riding the beast and Kili shot an arrow through his head. Cries came from the other wargs and they came rushing their way. Everybody looked up in fear.
"Move!" Gandalf shouted. "Run!"
They ran down a hill but were quickly out numbered. "There they are!" Gloin shouted.
"This way!" Gandalf pointed. "Quickly!"
The three girls were almost out of strength but they had to keep going. They were surrounded.
"There's more coming!" Kili yelled.
"Kili, shoot them!" Thorin ordered
"Were surrounded!" Fili yelled.
"Where is Gandalf?" Jessica asked.
"He's abandoned us!" Dwalin said.
"HOLD YOUR GROUND!" Thorin ordered as he pulled out his sword.
Febe, Jessica and Simone stood back to back with their own weapons in their hands. Their was no way that they were gonna get killed without putting up a fight.
"I am never going to run a marathon!" Febe said.
"Where you planning on doing one then?" Jessica questioned.
"Um… Guys?" Simone said as two wargs came charging at them. "I don't think this is the right time to talk about that!"
Jessica shot one of the wargs and it stumbled forward, throwing off its rider. The orc rolled and crashed into them. Simone stabbed him but he landed on top of Febe. The orc was heavier then he seemed and she tried to fight him off while the others dealt with the wargs.
"This way, you fools!" Gandalf shouted from behind a rock.
"Quickly, all of you!" Thorin shouted.
"Go!" Febe shouted to her friends as she still fought the orc on her. "Be right behind you!" She pulled a knife from her boots and she cut the orc in his face. It screamed and sliced back with it's own weapon. Febe was stronger and she pushed him off before cutting his throat and running after the others.
Fili and Kili jumped in before her and Thorin reach out his arm towards. Febe grabbed it and they jumped down.
