A light breeze rustled through the branches of a large oak tree and past the two sleeping forms. The larger figure shifted from the cold and slowly cracked her eyes open, turning to sleepily assess her surroundings in search of her missing blanket. The sight presented to her was one of her best friend of over fourteen years, the sun's rays dancing on her sleeping body as the tree shielded her face from the harsh light. Birds chirped cheerfully from their nests and the tree's branches swayed gracefully in the wind. Wait. Tree? Birds? Jolting upright and waking her friend in the process, the larger girl turned to her sleepy friend. "We're not in Kansas anymore Toto," she murmured as they both took in more of their environment. Turning to face each other again, the girls screamed.

Waking up with a start, Bilba surveyed her surroundings groggily as she tried to figure out what was going on. Her sleep addled brain only registered half of the chaos in the camp as she watched the dwarves scramble towards their weapons in response to the shrill war cry that had woken them up. Upon becoming more alert, Bilba was able to notice a few things. Firstly, the dwarves had formed a defensive circle with their bodies, facing outwards, weapons at the ready. Secondly, both Bilba and Gandalf had been excluded from this circle. Turning to glare at the rest of the company, Bilba froze at the detection of a low rumbling sound from behind her.

"W-what?" Bilba asked, slightly dazed from the commotion she had just bared witness to. The shrieking had stopped by then but the silence was even scarier.
Gandalf turned to the frightened and confused hobbit. "I think," he started, not so subtly glaring at the circle of dwarves, "that we're under attack." Gandalf's calm manner betrayed the fact that he obviously knew the situation was not dire.
"Hold your ground!" Thorin yelled defensively as two shadowy figures approached the dwarves from the depths of the forest. In any other situation, it would have been quite funny to watch Dwalin smoothly try to push Ori into the middle of the circle, away from any potential danger. Bilba would have chuckled when she saw Bombur attempt to do the same for Nori, you know, if being eaten hadn't been a very real possibility.

Hope you guys enjoyed it so far
