Audrey slowly opened her eyes. She was surprised to have fallen asleep so quickly during the night. However, when she opened her eyes, she noticed Bofur was lying right beside her. She gasped quietly. She didn't wanna wake anybody. She wondered how the heck she got even remotely close to his body in the first place. Probably his doing. She sat up and moved away. Then she heard giggling from behind her.
"I told you she wouldn't be too thrilled." Megan grinned. Audrey rolled her eyes which only made Megan giggle again. Soon after, everyone else woke up and they continued on their quest.
As the day was coming to an end once again, Gandalf thought it would be best to continue to the Hidden Valley and seek out the Elves. Right away, Thorin was not too thrilled with the idea. The two got into quite an argument that caused Gandalf to walk away.
"Gandalf, where are you going?" Bilbo asked, unsure of Gandalf's sudden change of attitude.
"To seek the company of the only one around here who's got any sense." Gandalf said bluntly.
"And who's that?" Bilbo said.
"MYSELF, Mr. Baggins!" Gandalf answered, his tone was full of anger. "Had enough of dwarves for one day." And with this he stormed off.
"Do you think he'll come back?" Sera asked with a frown.
"Maybe he will." Kili answered with a sigh. He knew she was upset about Gandalf leaving so abruptly. She had told him that Gandalf reminded her of her grandfather. Both were very kind and very protective towards others. It was as if she saw a part of her grandfather inside of him.
The group decided to camp out for the night and Fili and Kili were on pony watch. The girls huddled together to eat their supper. Bilbo was kind enough to bring Fili and Kili's food to them. When he got there, he noticed their faces seemed to be somewhere off in the distance.
"What's the matter?" Bilbo asks.
"We're supposed to be looking after the ponies." Kili answered quickly.
"Only we've encountered a...slight problem." Fili adds.
"We had 16..."
"Now there are...14."
True She-wolf Werewolf: Hola.
Kili: Hey. Have you seen the ponies?
True She-wolf Werewolf: Maybe... *looks around nervously*
Fili: *narrows eyes* Did you eat them wolf?
True She-wolf Werewolf: No... *pauses then runs off*
Fili and Kili: *chase*
