This chapter will mainly be about what's happening to the Dwarves and bilbo jsut so you know I don't know how long it took them to get to the goblins I'm jsut guessing.

Start of recap...

Soon it was time for lunch Lindir had taken Calen to eat food as she hadn't had breakfast.

"Lindir when did the Dwarves leave" asked Calen to the older elf, Lindir straighten his back as he answered.

"they left early this morning hours before you awoke little one" he answered.

'shit!' thought calen,rhey must be with the goblins by now if I remember correctly.

"Okay then thank you Lindir" she said smirking she had a plan now

End of recap...

Third person pov...

(With the Dwarves)

They are crossing the Misty Mountains; the trail is narrow and dangerous, with a cliff on one side and a sheer drop on the other.

There is a fierce storm in the air, with lightning and rain all around.

[Thorin:] “Hold on!”

As Bilbo walks, the stone beneath his feet gives away, and he starts falling into the chasm; Dwalin manages to pull him back in time.

[Thorin:] “We must find shelter!”

[Dwalin:] “Watch out!”

The Dwarves look up and see a massive boulder hurtling through the air; it hits the mountainside above them, causing rocks to fall all around them as they press themselves against the mountain.

[Balin:] “This is no thunderstorm; it’s a thunder battle! Look!”

[A stone giant rears up from a nearby mountain; it rips off a massive boulder from the top of the mountain.]

[Bofur:] “Well bless me, the legends are true. Giants; Stone Giants!”

[Thorin:] “Take cover: you’ll fall!”

[Kili:] “What’s happening?”

Giant #1 throws the boulder far in the air; another stone giant, #2, appears from behind the Company, and it is hit in the head.

The dwarves yell at each other to brace and hold on, and the rocks beneath their feet begin to give way from all the vibrations and from the impact of the falling rocks.

The ground between some of the Company members splits; part of the group is on one side, and part on the other.

[Fili:] "Kili! Grab my hand! Ki..."

As the two stone giants fight with their fists, the dwarves hold on tight as they are flung around.

One of the groups manages to jump to a different spot. A third stone giant appears, and it throws a boulder at the head of one of the first two.

That one falls over; as the first group watches, it appears to them that the other group of the Company has been smashed to bits. The hurt stone giant loses its footing and falls down the chasm.

[Thorin:] “No! No! Kili!”

The group rushes to the spot where the others appeared to have been crushed, but they are safe.

[Balin:] “We’re all right! We’re alive!”

[Bofur:] “Where’s Bilbo? Where’s the Hobbit?”

[Ori:] “There!”[Dwalin:] “Get him!”

Bilbo is seen hanging onto the edge of the cliff with just his fingertips. Ori dives onto the ground and tries to grab Bilbo’s arm, but Bilbo slips and falls another few feet before he catches another handhold.

As the dwarves try to pull him up unsuccessfully, Thorin swings down on the cliff next to Bilbo and boost him up, where the others pull him to safety.

Dwalin tries to lift Thorin back up too, but Thorin loses his grip and begins falling too; however, Dwalin, with much effort, is able to pull him back up.

[Dwalin:] “I thought we’d lost our burglar.”

[Thorin:] “He’s been lost ever since he left home. He should never have come. He has no place amongst us. Dwalin!”

[They go off and find a cave.]

[Dwalin:] “It looks safe enough.”

[Thorin:] “Search to the back; caves in mountains are seldom unoccupied.”

[Dwalin searches the cave with a lantern.]

[Dwalin:] “There’s nothing here.”

[Gloin drops a bundle of wood on the floor and rubs his hands.]

[Gloin:] “Right then! Let’s get a fire started.”

[Thorin:] “No, No fires, not in this place. Get some sleep. We start at first light.”

[Balin:] “We were to wait in the mountains until Gandalf joined us. That was the plan.”

[Thorin:] “Plans change. Bofur, take the first watch.”

Outside, in the valleys before the Misty Mountains, the White Warg sniffs the ground; Azog is on its back. He speaks in the Black Speech

[Azog:] " The scent is fresh! They have taken the mountain pass"

He and the rest of the Warg Scouts race off after the dwarves.

Back with Calen...

It was the next day Calen had packed everything she needed for her trip to catch up with the Dwarves.

She was waiting for the perfect moment to leave rivendell as much as it pained her to do.

Once it was clear she ran out of her room and out of Rivendell, silently saying sorry to elrond as she ran.

With the Dwarves...

The Company is resting in the cave; all the dwarves are asleep. Bilbo, only pretending to be asleep, stealthily opens his eyes and looks around.

Seeing that no one is watching, he quietly rolls up his blankets and packs his things. Grabbing his walking stick, he starts to leave the cave, tiptoeing over the sleeping dwarves.

Bofur, who is standing watch, sees Bilbo trying to leave. He jumps up and tries to stop him. They whisper so as not to wake the others.

[Bofur:] “Where do you think you’re going?”

[Bilbo:] “Back to Rivendell and Calen.”

[Bofur:] “No, no, you can’t turn back now, you’re part of the Company. You’re one of us.”

[Bilbo:] “I’m not though, am I? Thorin said I should never have come, and he was right. I’m not a Took, I’m a Baggins, I don’t know what I was thinking. I should never have run out my door.”

Thorin, who is awake, stares thoughtfully at the wall as he listens.

[Bofur:] “You’re homesick; I understand.”

[Bilbo:] “No, you don’t, you don’t understand! None of you do - you’re dwarves. You used to - to this life, to living on the road, never settling in one place, not belonging anywhere.”

Bofur looks offended, and Bilbo is repentant.

[Bilbo:] “I am sorry, I didn’t...”

Thorin listens on.

[Bofur:] “No, you’re right. We don’t belong anywhere. I wish you all the luck in the world. I really do.

Bofur smiles and places his hand on Bilbo’s shoulder; Bilbo soon turns and begins to walk away.

[Bofur:] “What’s that?”

Something is glowing; Bilbo pull his sword partway out of its sheath and sees that it is growing bright blue, meaning Orcs are nearby.

Thorin raises his head as he hears strange machinery noises and sees cracks form in the sand on the floor of the cave.
