"I'll wager the sun's on the rise. It must be nearly dawn." I hear Bofur say
"We're never going to reach the mountain, are we?" Ori says
"Not stuck in here, you're not!" I hear a voice that sounds like Bilbo say
Thorin and the other dwarves jump up in surprise; I try to stand but can't, everything hurts.
"Bilbo!" Balin exclaims
As the dwarves exclaim in surprise, Bilbo shushes them.
"Shhh! There are guards nearby!" Bilbo says
Bilbo unlocks Thorin's cell and Thorin helps me up and Bilbo lets us out. He then proceeds to let all the dwarves out of their various cells, and they chuckle gleefully at their good fortune. Some of the dwarves start walking in a certain direction. I stand there watching them
"The stairs. You first. Ori!" Someone says
"Not that way, down here. Follow me." Bilbo says
Bilbo proceeds lead us through the Woodland Realm, and the others whisper indistinctly. We sneak through the halls of the Woodland Realm, and eventually find ourselves in the wine cellar. The elves there are sound asleep around a table, with several empty bottles of wine in front of them. Bilbo leads the company further in.
"This way." Bilbo says
"I don't believe it; we're in the cellars!" Kili exclaims
The dwarves are getting mad at Bilbo. I roll my eyes
"You were supposed to be leading us out, not further in!" Bofur says
"I know what I'm doing!" Bilbo says
"Shhh!" Bofur says
"This way." Bilbo says
We sneak into a large room in which several barrels are stacked sideways down the middle of the room. All the barrels have one end open.
"Everyone, climb into the barrels, quickly!" Bilbo says
"Are you mad?! They'll find us!" Dwalin says
"No, no, they won't, I promise you. Please, please, you MUST trust me!" Bilbo says
The dwarves mill around, as they try to decide. We hear a commotion in the distance. I give Thorin a look that's says 'You better get them to get in now or we're dead'
"Do as he says!" Thorin orders
Each of the dwarves climbs into a barrel. Bilbo walks along, counting to make sure all the dwarves have been accounted for. But looks at me
"What are you waiting for?" He asks
"Um, no room" I say
Thorin then pulls me into his barrel, I whimper in pain because of my cuts and soreness.
"I'm sorry amralime" Thorin says
"It's fine" I say and kiss his cheek.
"What do we do now?" Bofur asks
All the dwarves and I stick our heads out of our barrels and watch Bilbo as he walks toward a lever in the ground.
