I passed out and it was dark. Probably one of those stupid spiders bit me. I just heard some noises and whispers about eating us. However, there was nothing I could do, as if I was paralyzed.

"Wake up..." I heard my dad's voice, so well known to me. "You can't give up. Wake up, my little flower. "

Suddenly I felt like I was falling from above. I thought it was just that feeling, but it wasn't. After a while I was lying on the ground and groaning in pain, as did the others. We were all in spider webs and it took a few moments for us to get out of them.

"Where's Bilbo? " I asked, and as I turned to look for him, a spider attacked me. Fortunately, I had time to jump aside.

"Lia, catch! " Kili shouted and threw me the sword.

I caught it and attacked the creature. Blow after blow, we attacked more spiders, but there were too many of them and we couldn't cope. In addition, after they bit us, I still felt a bit dizzy, which made it difficult to fight them. One of the creatures tried to attack Thorin from behind, but I distracted him.

"Hey! " I shouted. "Here, you slimy reptile!! "

The spider turned and moved towards me, and at the same moment Kili and Fili approached him from both sides and killed him.

"Two brothers... '' Kili began.

"Are better than one. " Fili finished and then have a high five with his brother.

"This way! Quick! " Thorin shouted, so we ran after him.

The spiders are about to catch up with us anyway.

After a while, out of nowhere, some blond boy appeared. He killed one of the spiders on the way, and a second later he aimed his bow at Thorin's head. I immediately drew my bow and aimed at him. He was as tall as a human, which meant he was much taller than us. He had long blonde hair that was tied up at the back of his and blue eyes. And worst of all, he was an elf. Soon after him other people appeared and, like him, they aimed their bows at us.

"Don't think I won't kill you, dwarf. " He said to Thorin. "It would be my pleasure. "

"Believe me..." I interjected. "Me too. I could kill you just now. " I added and drew the string tighter.

I had great hope that we wouldn't find any elves after all, but that hope was just shattered. Thorin took my hand and told me to lower my bow.

"But..." I started but didn't finish when I looked into his eyes.

I looked around, we were surrounded by them and we had no chance against them. Thorin knew that, and that's why he told me to lower my bow. Suddenly there was a scream. After exchanging glances with Fili, I knew that this voice belonged to Kli.

"Kili! " Fili screamed.

Without waiting a moment, I took my dagger from my belt and attacked the first elf. I grabbed the bow from the other one and hit him with it. The third swung his sword at me, but I dodged and slipped under the blade and cut his leg.

The spider pulled Kili by the leg and was about to bite him, but I threw the dagger at him and the creature fell dead. Kili looked at me, breathed a sigh of relief, and flopped back to the ground.

"Thanks, Lia. " He said breathlessly.

He was about to get up, but the elves surrounded him. They held swords in their hands so that he couldn't move without cutting his throat. He glanced at me.

"Lia, behind you!! " He screamed.

I turned around and saw another spider. A moment more, and I would be dead, but suddenly something flew right next to my head. Only later I realize it was an arrow. I turned back to Kli, but it wasn't he who fired, and neither was anyone in our Company. Suddenly, someone put a sword at my throat.
