Chapter 11
The faes and dwarves enjoyed the meal of soup that Bombur had made.
Bilbo fidgeted nervously looking out towards the woods. "They've been a long time."
Bofur looked over at Bilbo his brows furrowed together. "Who?"
"Gandalf. And W-win." Bilbo said looking over at Bofur.
Bofur brushed it off like it wasn't something that bad to be worried about. "He's a wizard! He does as he chooses. Here, do us a favor: take this to the lads." He said handing Bilbo two bowls of soup to take to Fili and Kili.
Bombur tried to take more soup to ease his starving belly.
Bofur stopped him by smacking his hand. "Stop it, you've had plenty."
Aurora shifted nervously putting her bowl down on her lap. "I'm worried." She said softly looking up to her fellow fae. "She should've been back by now." She was worried that Win hadn't returned yet.
"An àite sin neònach. Cha robh i a' smaoineachadh gu robh an uiread sin de dh' fhearg na broinn." Shaylee said leaning back slightly and looking at the two others.
"Bidh beul a' ruith air falbh le duine againn. Ach is e Thorin am fear a chuir a chas na bheul." Linetta said shaking her head lightly.
Aurora took a soft breath. "I suppose you are right." She admitted softly. "I thought of better thinking that she would return before supper was finished."
"She needed time to think. None of us would be here if the Winter fae weren't there that day." Shaylee said shaking her head lightly. "We're just honoring the code that the fae put up."
Suddenly Fili and Kili came out of the woods and to the company.
"Uncle we have a problem," Fili said looking at Thorin.
"Problem. What problem?"
"Four ponies are missing."
"Trolls," Kili said cutting his brother off.
Shaylee got up to her feet worry coming across her face. "And you left Bilbo there with no protection?"
"I… well…"
Linetta grabbed her weapon letting out a breath. She looked over at Thorin. "They left Bilbo alone with trolls… he will get caught."
Thorin let out a breath knowing that was very true. "We have a hobbit to save," Thorin said grabbing his weapon as well.

Aurora, Linetta, and Shaylee were up in the trees watching below the dwarves who had decided to fight and get Bilbo back.
Aurora made some movements with her hands as the fight broke out below. She was conveying the news that dawn wasn't too far away so there was time for Gandalf and Win to return from where they had gone.
Linetta nodded her head in agreement knowing that there wasn't a lot of time to come up with a plan.
"Bilbo!" Kili shouted trying to move forward only to be stopped by his uncle.
"No!"
"Lay down your arms, or we'll rip him off." One of the trolls said gripping Bilbo's arms and legs tightly between another troll.
Thorin looked at Bilbo in frustration before dropping his sword to the ground.
The others drop their swords and weapons following their leader's actions.
The faes remained silent watching what had happened below. They kept their groans to themselves. They couldn't believe that Bilbo had gotten caught so easily.
The trolls had tied Dwalin, Bofur, Dori, Ori, Nori, and Bifur to a spit and were roasting them over the fire while the rest were tied up in sacks nearby.
Aurora looked over to her fellow fae and made slight movements with her hands.
Shaylee and Linetta nodded their heads agreeing on what to do.
"Don't bother cooking them. Let's just sit on them and squash them into jelly." One of the trolls said looking at them with a hungry look in his eyes.
"They should be sautéed and grilled with a sprinkle of sage." Another said using his hand to indicate the sprinkling of sage.
"Is this necessary?" Dori questioned struggling against the bonds.
"Ooh, that does sound quite nice." The other troll said nodding his head.
"Untie us, you monsters!" Oin shouted from where he was.
"Take on someone your size!" Gloin shouted struggling.
"Never mind the seasoning; we ain't got all night! Dawn ain't far away, so let's get a move on. I don't fancy being turned to stone."
Giggling suddenly could be heard from everywhere in the woods.
The dwarves looked around in confusion.
Bilbo blinked knowing the giggling sounds must've been the fae who weren't caught.
"Where is that sound coming from?" One of the trolls asked looking around.
"You have to admit the sound is quite nice."
"Enough about the sound." The third troll said narrowing his eyes.
The trolls began to search for the noises that they were hearing.
"Over here." A girlish voice giggled.
"No, over here." Another giggled out.
"Over here not there." Another giggled making it sound like they were everywhere.
Bilbo blinked in confusion. Why would they be risking themselves like this? Perhaps it was something that they had come up with to toy with the trolls. He had to admit that it wasn't half bad with what they were doing.
The one troll grumbled in anger. "Nothing wrong with a bit of raw dwarf! Nice and crunchy." He said grabbing Bombur and dangling him upside down over his mouth.
"Wouldn't eat him if I were you." A female voice rang out in the distance.
"You what?"
"Infected. Infected." Another voice sang out.
The troll dropped Bombur back onto the pile of dwarves.
Thorin turned his head seeing someone that he hadn't expected. Win had come back. "W…"
Win put her finger up to her lips silencing him. "Sh." She said extremely softly. She began to work on the ties that held him in the sack.
"What are you doing?" He whispered looking into her violet eyes.
"Getting you out of here." She said softly as she finished untying his sack. "The others are doing well on their part keeping them busy."
"Parasites. Parasites." Another voice rang out through the wood.
"We don't have parasites! You have parasites!" Kili shouted at the voices.
Thorin moved his foot kicking the others to let them know that they were ruining everything.
"I've got parasites as big as my arm," Oin shouted out.
"Mine are the biggest parasites, I've got huge parasites!" Kili shouted.
"We're riddled," Nori called out.
"Yes, I'm riddled," Ori said struggling slightly.
"Yes, we are. Badly!" Dori affirmed the truth.
"What would you have us do, then, let 'em all go?" The troll asked the air.
"Yes. Yes. Yes."
Win slowly went to the next dwarf and began to untie them as well.
"You think I don't know what you're up to? These voices are taking us for fools!"
"Fools?" The voices called out.
Gandalf suddenly appeared on top of a large rock above the clearing. "The dawn will take you all!"
"Who's that?"
"No idea."
"Can we eat `im too?"
Gandalf stiked the rock with his staff, splitting it in half and allowing the sunlight to pour into the clearing turning the trolls into stone.
Win finished untying some of the rest of the dwarves before fluttering over to the others.
"Oh, get your foot out of my back!" Dwalin said uncomfortably.
Aurora, Shaylee, and Linetta came out of the trees.
"We'll have you out of the fire in no time," Aurora said with a small smile.

This is the end of Chapter 11. I hope that you guys enjoyed it. I tried my best to write this chapter out. I even changed it a tiny bit instead of having Bilbo buying for time the fae were doing it instead. I hope that it turned out well. Please let me know what you guys think in a review. Reviews help me keep going with writing stories out. Down below again is a translation of the fae language. I can't wait to show you guys more. Until next time.
An àite sin neònach. Cha robh i a' smaoineachadh gu robh an uiread sin de dh' fhearg na broinn.- Rather curious. Didn't think she had that much anger inside.
Bidh beul a' ruith air falbh le duine againn. Ach is e Thorin am fear a chuir a chas na bheul.- Mouths run away with any of us. But Thorin is the one that put his foot in his mouth.
