I watched the orc approach Thorin and feared the worst. Oakenshield tried to reach for his sword, but it was too far away. The creature had already bent over him with the intention of beheading him, until suddenly Bilbo appeared out of nowhere and pushed the nasty to the side, and then with a few quick movements of the sword, killed the creature.

I watched in amazement at the whole incident and couldn't believe my eyes. Our hobbit has just saved Thorin's life.

"Take my hand. " Kili whispered.

I didn't even notice when he went up on the tree, and neither did Fili. I was too busy watching the whole incident.

"Come quickly, because our burglar got into trouble. " Kili said and stretched out his hand to me, which after a while I grabbed and dwarf helped me.

"Kill him. " Azog ordered.

Brothers and I exchanged glances and together we went with the rest of the Company to help Baggins. We attacked them one by one and we were doing not too badly, at least for now. I took advantage of the moment when none of the creatures attacked me and ran to see what happened to Thorin.

"Thorin. " I said, kneeling beside him. "Can you hear me? "

He was unconscious, I tried to wake him up, but I couldn't.

"Malia! Behind you! " Bilbo shouted.

I turned around the moment orc swung his sword at me. Fortunately, I managed to bounce the blow. The second time creature wanted to cut off my head, but I bent down and he failed. Then, with one quick movement, I pierced it through. I turned to Bilbo and sent him a grateful smile, which he reciprocated. After a while, his face got cold and he pointed his finger at something behind me. I turned in that direction and saw Azog. He came down from his warg and slowly walked towards me. I knew I wouldn't miss this fight, and I was glad I could finally get my revenge. He took everything I had away from me, and now it's time for him to pay for it. I came closer to him and was about to attack when I saw something flying over me. I looked up and saw eagles. Very big eagles.

"And where did they come from? " I heard Fili.

"Good question. " Kili supported his brother.

I stared at the eagles and I was close to losing my head. Azog swung his sword at me, but at the last minute I managed to dodge. This time I wanted to attack, but he was too fast. He was already attacking me again. I struggled to react. I deflected his blow and then tried to attack him again. He, on the other hand, grabbed me by the hand in which I was holding the sword and twisted it for me. I hissed in pain. I kicked him in the knee and then with my other hand I reached for my dagger, which I had behind my belt, behind my belt and stabbed him in the shoulder. The Pale Orc screamed in pain and let me go.

I took advantage of that moment and swung at him again. I pierced him inside out, or so I thought. Only after a while I noticed that the orc simply grabbed the sword and stopped it under his arm. I wanted to pull my weapon back, but I didn't succeed. Orc with one quick blow knocked me into the air. I banged my back on a tree and slowly slumped to the ground. For a moment I was out of breath. I coughed and looked towards creature. He approached me with his sinister smile on his face. I staggered away from the tree, looking for a weapon in the meantime. Daggers won't be of much use, because his swords were five times bigger than them.

"You'll die, just like your parents. " Azog said with a laugh.

I wanted to answer him, but I didn't have time, because suddenly something grabbed me at the waist and lifted me up. I screamed, not really knowing what was going on. When I looked up, I saw one of the eagles. Only now I saw that they were gathering our entire Company and taking out no one knows where. The eagle held me in its claws until it suddenly let go and I began to fall down screaming. I already thought that I'll die, but out of nowhere a second bird appeared, on whose back I fell. Kili was already on it.
