Chapter 11- Hello trolls.

So Mary's been left behind and now she has to worry for friends, and husbands, safety. Think she's gonna stay behind? Nah me either. There wouldn't be any fun in leaving her behind.

…

'They've been gone a long time,' I decided as I play with my son and Josie, once again, in the dirt.

The sun has almost gone completely down now and they still haven't returned. I look at my sweet boy and smile before I run my fingers through his beautiful hair. No sounds at all since the company left. No birds, deer's, rabbits, or even wargs. It's frightening to think that my husband may be in trouble and I'm doing nothing to help him except protecting our son. I continue to run my fingers through my sons hair before I pat his head and turn towards the woods.

"Thrain, dear, can you do something for mama?" I ask as I turn to him with a smile.

"Sure mama, what is it?" Thrain immediately jumps to his feet and looks at me with big doe eyes.

"Darling," I say as I kneel down to his level, "I need you to help me help your father. Which I'm going to need you to be very quiet and follow this plan very carefully."

…

It was scary at first sneaking up on three trolls and having to be very quiet about it. With me being a hobbit, my son and I had to take extra careful precautions to lift him into the tree and get the acorns up there with him. We found a tree to where no matter what position the trolls would be in…he could hit them. Josie would be the first to go out and start barking at them so that I can grab Thorins sword. I look up at Thrain, then to the three trolls, then back, and nod. He nods back and then I whistle. Josie jumps out of the bushes and bites the youngest troll, who yelps loudly, then begins to bark as loud as she can.

"What's that?" The oldest troll asks.

"Don't know, can we eat it?" The youngest asks.

"It might flavor to the dwarfs." The cook says and then the oldest begins to chase Josie.

I quickly run to the sword pile and grab Thorins sword before Josie comes to a stop behind me and I stab the big trolls hand, making it yelp, "Don't touch her."

"MARY," Thorin, and the company yells, "WHAT'RE YOU DOING?"

"BUYING TIME," I yell back before I whistle again and acorns begin to fly while I stab the troll again in the leg. We stall until Thrain runs out of acorns and has to stop. I throw my sword one more time before I look to see the sun almost over the edge of the giant rock and decide to take a different course of action "Wait you don't want to do this."

The trolls freeze and look at me "What're you talking about?"

"The dwarves," I say as I try to regain my breathe, "You don't want to eat them, they have parasites, they're infected. That's why we've come this way, to find a cure for the parasites."

"Parasites," Kili mutters only to be kicked in the back by Thorin, "ow."

"Why don't we just eat them without cooken um?" The oldest says.

"Why don't you shut your face?" The cook says then hits the other over the head with the ladle.

"Why don't-" I start only to be interrupted.

"THE DAWN WILL TAKE YOU ALL!" Gandalf yells as he makes his appearance on top of the giant rock and the trolls turn to stone.

"Gandalf," I cry, "I've never been so happy to see anyone in my life."

"It seems," He says as he climbs down the big rock "I've come at the right time."

"And where did you go I might ask?" Thorin says as he walks up to Gandalf.

"To look ahead,"

"And what brought you back?"

",looking behind."

I giggle as Thorin smiles and before I can do anything a small little body tackles me to the ground "We did it," Thrain cries.

"Yes darling," I giggle again "why don't we go see the trolls."

We leave the two, full grown, men to talk and walk over to Josie who's standing in front of a troll growling with her ears flat back.

"Josie, darling," I say as I pick her up "it's alright… their stone now."

"Mary," Thorin calls "there should be a troll cave near by, we're going to look for it."

"Alright," I call back as I put Josie back on the ground and grab Thrain's hand "come on then, we've got to look for a trolls cave."

…

Wow, it's been a while. I've had writers block for a long time now and I'm writing a few other stories so I kinda got distracted sorry.
