"What's wrong mates?" asked a suspicious Bilbo.

"Well we had 16 ponies, now we only have 12" Spoke Kili, with worry lacing his words.

"That's not good at all" Replied Bilbo, who was becoming increasingly suspicious. The wind had started to blow and that made it hard for Verya to hear them talking, all she could register was that the brothers had sent Bilbo to seek out the problem, which she soon realized was a big one. She followed above Bilbo until he reached an overturned tree. Just infont of them were three big mountain trolls, one carrying two more of the group's ponies. She heard Bilbo mutter their names in angst. Then in complete shock, she saw the hobbit step out of the shadows and quietly make his was around the, determined to save the ponies. He couldn't get the rope undone and searched for a solution, which was to grab the one troll's knife and use it. He moved behind it, trying to get the knife free, when all of the sudden he was swept up in the trolls big fat hands.

"What are yer?" The one troll asked, holding Bilbo in his tight grip.

"Bilbo Baggins, a bur-a hobbit" Bilbo replied trying to break free. As the trolls continued to question the hobbit, Verya was trying to think of what to do. Should she shoot them and give away her position just to save a hobbit or run the opposite way, in the direction of her old home. She already knew the answer but she realized she wouldn't have to do anything just yet. Kili jumped out from behind a bush wielding his sword.

"Drop him!" He yelled.

"You what?" asked the troll who was still holding Bilbo.

"I said drop him!" Kili yelled and charged the trolls, who were so surprised that they did indeed drop the hobbit. This is when the 11 dwarfs jumped out from behind the same bush and stood firmly behind Kili. That's when all hell broke loose. Everyone was fighting back and forth. Everyone but the hobbit, who was still rescuing the ponies. He was almost there when the same troll picked him up yet again, only to have his arms and legs pulled far from his body.

"Put down your arms or he looses his!" The troll yelled. After a slight hesitation, Thorin put down his arms. Kili gave his uncle a surprised look but soon followed until they all were defenceless.

In a flash they were all in sacks, with only their head sticking out, with four turning on the spit above the fire. Verya knew she had to do something to buy them time, she knew trolls turned to stone in day light. She quickly moved over to a tree right in front of the leader troll and waited. She saw the hobbit jump up and try to reason with them, talking of how they smelled and how he knew they had parasites. The trolls were disgusted but were not fooled. Now was her chance, the light was only a few minutes away. She loaded her bow and took the shot, the arrow going straight through the trolls foreheard. As quickly as before she had the other two down the same way as the first. Everyone was stalk still, even the trolls who weren't even dead. As if things couldn't get any weirder, she heard someone shout "Let the light take you!" and the trolls turn to stone, but not after they had sent a piercing look her way. She knew she had to get away for they would realize it where she was. She quickly climbed away from the area as they were getting out of their sacks. She climbed down the tree and was about to run, when a hand came from behind her and covered her mouth, silencing her scream. The being pulled her farther away from the troll's cooking pit, but the being appeared to be alone. In a flash he had her back against the tree and his sword at the throat. Both their eyes widened.

"You're a lady…" Kili whispered, more to himself then her. She was indeed, with bright green eyes tinted blue and red full lips. Her hair wasn't the token colour an elf's hair should be. It was dark blonde that gradually brightened. She was beautiful. Verya, quickly flipped them around and put his own sword at his throat. Being highly trained in hand to hand combat, she knew what she was doing.

"What do you want" Her beautiful voice snapped at him. He stuck a smirk on his handsome face and leaned back casually. She was running out of time to disappear, his kin would be arriving soon.

"Only to thank the fair lady for saving my hind out there" She felt her heart shake at his charming words and voice.

"No thanks necessary, it was my pleasure" She smiled sweetly, and dropped the sword, jumping into the trees. Kili wasn't just about to let her go, he was very intrigued by this woman. He knew his company were searching for the troll cave, he had a minute to figure this out. He started to climb too and although he wasn't as quick as her he managed to catch up and grab her foot, pulling her down next to him, pressing her back into the tree.

"Im not done yet" he smirked again. "I have more questions" he continued.

"It was you following us wasn't it?" he asked, serious for once. She didn't answer but he saw the recognition in her eyes. He needed to know why.

"Why" he asked and when she didn't answer he asked again, harsher.

"Because I wanted a home" She whispered looking down. For the first time he realized how small she was. And apparently young, but more importantly that she was indeed an elf. He was very confused but asked why again, only softer and she finally told him.

"My family was killed by a pack of elf hunting Orcs. The burned my house down. I rushed down and killed them all and then fell asleep grieving. The next morning I heard your company and felt a swell of envy, I knew you had a home, and I was jealous so I followed because I had nothing left to do and no where else to go." She spoke quietly as a single tear rolled down her cheek. She hated showing weaknesses but she was still grieving for her family. Kili felt her sorrow and then felt guilt that he had pushed that out of her. He was about to let her go when he heard something. A loud howl coming from the direction of his brothers. He knew he should go back, but how could he leave this young elf alone?

"Was that a wolf..?" She asked tentatively, unsure on what made the noise and whether of not to be worried.

"No, no wolves here, but it was a warg, which means there are orcs near by" He grabbed her hand and started to make his was through the trees in the direction of the howl. Verya was becoming more and more curious, not frightened. She was a strong capable woman, she wouldn't feel fear for fear was a weakness. As they came to the clearing they saw only orcs and wargs, following what Kili could only think to be his kin. He was about to jump and help but Verya held him back.

He turned to yell at her to let him go, but she was already pulling him the opposite way. He tried to protest but was focusing on not falling out of the tree. The noise had not gone un noticed as a smaller group of orcs and warg spotted them and began their chase. Verya had seen them right away, but Kili had been to unfocused and worried for his brothers.

"Kili, we must hurry! We are being followed!" She yelled at him and he was filled with shock. How did she know his name? He was about to ask when he looked down and saw that they were indeed being followed by a smaller pack. He, for some reason he didn't quite know what, switched into a protection mode, running past Verya and grabbing her hand, determined to keep her safe. The ran for what felt like hours but soon the forest was disappearing. Verya had thought up a plan.

"Kili, please trust me, I know what to do" She lead him to the left, further away from his brother and the group. She pulled him towards what appeared to be a very deep and muddy ravine. He started to worry and protests began to bubble up his throat. She pleaded him to trust her and finally he let her lead him over towards it. The orcs had tailed far behind them and had now lost their sight of the two, but the warg had their sent. Verya knew what they needed to do and knew it had to be done now. The two stopped above the ravine and she made to jump but Kili held her back.
