Chapter 2

"Where am I? What am I doing here?" Thorin finds himself in a strange place in a forest near a river and a bridge. He notices someone with a deep blue tunic and grey trousers, his hair is short and curly, and his feet are big and hairy, he was also holding a basket full of berries and flowers.

"Hello?!" Thorin bellowed giving the Halfling a very big fright. "Where am I? And who are you?" Thorin said gently trying not to give him another fright. But the Halfling just started to walk towards Thorin without speaking. When the Halfling was standing beside Thorin he lifted his hand and gently placed it upon Thorin's cheek. His hand was soft and warm , Thorin looked into the Halfling's deep brown eyes and asked "Who are you?" The Halfling just reached into his basket and pulled out a berry and placed it into the dwarf's mouth. Thorin ate the sweet berry and looked at the Halfling to see him mouthing something. "Hobbit, Baggins."

Thorin then said "You are a Hobbit?"

The Hobbit nodded then started walking away. "Where are you going? Wait!" Thorin started walking quickly towards the Hobbit, but the Halfling just kept walking further and further away. Thorin started running after the Halfling, he wanted to know who the Hobbit was, where they were and why the Halfling touched him so gently upon his cheek. But the next thing Thorin did was fall down a hole, a very deep hole. Then he shot up from his bed, sweaty, hot and, panting.
