As the figure emerged from the bushes and into the presence of the company, he came to a halt and saw he was surrounded by armed dwarves and two mere Halflings. Freya could tell just by what this old man was wearing and his staff in his hand that he was a wizard. The wizards head cocked to the side, when he saw a familiar face.

" Radagast! Radagast the Brown." Gandalf exclaimed as he approached his friend. " Ah. What on earth are you doing here?" The wizard pressed, stepping closer.

" I was looking for you, Gandalf. Something's wrong." Radagast stated, not taking a breath. " Something's terribly wrong."

"Yes?"

Radagast opens his mouth the speak, but quickly closes it. He goes to open his mouth again, only to shut it. The strange wizard had forgotten what he was about to say.

" Oh, just give me a minute." He muttered to himself, trying think real hard. " Um, oh, I had a thought, and now I've lost it." The wizard stated, showing his frustration to everyone. Freya bit her lip, watching this old man curiously as she stood by her cousin. " It was, it was right there, on the tip of my tongue." Radagast pleaded to Gandalf, who gave his fellow friend a weary stare.

The wizard sudden curls up his tongue, and had a look of surprise on his face. The company all exchanged strange looks of bizarre since this other wizard had arrived.

" Oh, it'a not a thought at all; it's a silly old..." Gandalf pulls something out of Radagast's mouth. " Stick insect!" The dwarves and the two hobbits look at this old man flustered. The two wizards decided it would be best to discuss matters in private. Freya was watching the two wizards discussing and her cousin looked at her, wondering why she was in such a trance.

" Freya? Are you alright?" Bilbo asked, worriedly as he waved his hand in front of her, making her blink a few times and looked at him.

" Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" Bilbo glanced back at the two wizards and then back at his cousin.

" So what are they talking about?"

She looked at him, narrowing her eyes." What do mean, I don't know what your talking about." Freya, quickly said. Bilbo let out a low huff at his cousin's terrible lying skills.

" I know you were reading their lips, you've become awfully good at that when we were kids." He pointed out to her and she half rolled her eyes.

" There talking about some abandon Fortress and I think Radagast mentioned something about a Necromancer." Freya explained and her cousin went wide eyed.

" What's a Necromancer?" Bilbo asked her; looking addled. She shrugged her shoulders.

" I have no clue, Bilbo." Bilbo leaned over to his cousin to whisper something, not wanting the two wizards to hear.

" I don't know about you, but I find this wizard, very bizarre." Freya snickered to herself, shaking her head.

" I don't know, I kind a like his strange ways, makes him different and unique from others of his kin" Freya stated and her cousin nodded, that was quite true although in his mind, he thought this wizard was crazy. The company were suddenly interrupted by a sudden howl in the distance.

" Was that a wolf? Are there- are there wolves out there?" The burglar shouted, as he began to panic.

" Wolves? No, that is not a wolf." Bofur informed as he stood by the cousins looking around. From behind some of the company, a warg appears, and leaps into the midst of the company, going right towards Freya making her stumble back, falling to the ground and Thorin strikes and kills it using Orcrist. The creature fell at Freya's feet, and she felt her heart race.

Another warg came from behind Thorin, snarling at them and Kili aims his bow and arrow, shooting it and brings it down. However, it manages to get back up and Dwalin came at it swinging his axe down, embedding it in the wargs skull. Bilbo helped his cousin up, before more came.

" Warg Scouts! Which means an orc pack is not far behind." Thorin informed,

" Orc pack?" Freya repeating, bewildered by this. Gandalf marched over to the Prince, in frustration.

" Who did you tell about you quest, beyond your kin?" The wizard demanded, staring down at the dwarf.

" No one."

The wizard shook his head and came even closer to the leader. " Who did you tell?" He demanded one last time, in a stern voice. knowing they didn't have much time before more would be coming.

" No one, I swear. What in Durin's name is going on?" Thorin asked, clearly just as confused as to why a pack was after them.

" You are being hunted. " The wizard informed, with a hint of anger.

" We have to get out of here." Dwalin urged.

" We can't!" Ori's voice came from above them, making them snap their heads in their direction. " We have no ponies. They bolted!" The dwarves sighed knowing they were now on foot, making their odds of getting to safety less likely.

" I'll draw them off." Radagast suggested, which would give the company a chance to get ahead of them. Gandalf turned around to face his friend, knowing he wouldn't have a chance against these vile monsters.

" These are Gundabad Warg's; they will outrun you." Gandalf snapped, before turning away to try and think of something else.

" These are Rhosgobel Rabbits" Radagast stated sternly feeling good about himself, making Gandalf stop in his tracks and turn to face his comrade like he was nuts." I'd like to see them try." Radagast climbed onto his sled and began charging through the forest. The company got into position behind a rock, waiting for their chance to get to safety.

" Come and get me!" Radagast shouted as he shot out of the forest, into the open and laughed when his plan started to work as the wargs chased him. The dwarves, the cousins and the wizard watched as Radagast and the wargs disappeared in the distance and saw this as their chance.

" Come on!" Gandalf ushered them and the company begin rushing as fast as they can across the rocky plain with their weapons drawn. As they weave around the rocks they see the wargs not too far from them and come to halt; watching which way they were heading. " Stay together." The wizard insisted to them.

" Move!" Thorin ordered and they began running in a different direction. They cousins were growing exhausted from the long run; without stopping as the chase continued. As they run along beside a giant rock, the prince suddenly stops when he see's the pack coming and grabs Ori: the youngest dwarf by his clothing to stop him from going any further.

" Ori no! Come back!"

The company waited patiently once again until it was safe to continue on. " All of you, come on! Come on. Quick." Gandalf pressed as he waved the company to keep running. Freya and Bilbo grabbed each other's hand so neither would be left behind as Thorin and Gandalf stayed behind to let the others get away.

The dwarves didn't get to far, when they saw the wizard still being chased by the pack and they took cover behind an outcropping of rock. Freya and Bilbo were waved over by Dwalin and the cousin's were between Dwalin and Thorin. They heard heavy footsteps coming right over to them. The woman had to put her hand over her mouth to muffle the sound of her own heavy breathing.

The warg above them was snarling and sniffing the air for their scent. Thorin looked to his nephew and nod's; readying an arrow, Kili quickly steps out, revealing himself and shoots the warg. The warg falls over, landing near the cousins and a few dwarves quickly go at it to silence the creature as It cry's out in pain, notifying the others and they stop pursuing the wizard and began to pursue the company as their howls sounded in the air.

" Move. Run!" Gandalf yelled. The company takes off and come to a grassy plain, and begin running through it. Freya looked behind her to see her cousin was slowing down and she waited for him and grabbed his hand and the run to keep up with the others.

" There they are!" Gloin shouted as he saw the warg's begin to surround them from all sides.

" This way! Quickly" Gandalf ordered, as they run for a little while longer only to come to a sudden halt in a clearing as they see wargs on all sides.

" There's more coming!" Kili informed them. Freya glanced around her, seeing all the warg's stalking towards them slowly; closing in on them so they had no where to escape to.

" Kili! Shoot them!" Thorin yelled.

" We're surrounded!"

Kili begins releasing arrows, killing some of the wargs and the riders, but he didn't have enough arrows to kill them all and he retreated over to his brother and uncle.

" Where is Gandalf?" Freya and Bilbo both searched around and the wizard was no where to be seen; would he really abandon them, at there time of need." Freya wondered.

" He has abandoned us!" Dwalin snapped as he pushed the two Halflings behind him and Dwalin as the wargs came closer making the dwarves back up near a rock.

" Hold your ground!" Thorin shouted, as he held his sword at the ready. Freya held her sword in front of her, not gonna go down without a fight; even if it was the last thing she did.

" This way, you fools!"

The company turn behind them to see the wizard. Thorin is the first to run over jumping onto a nearby rock. " Come on, move! Quickly, all of you!" Thorin yelled as the dwarves ran over as fast as they could over to the crack in the rock. " Go, go, go!" Bilbo slide down the rock in the cave.

The dwarves one by one slide into the cave. Freya jumped onto and turns to see Kili is still out there. " Freya go!" Thorin ordered her, noticing her worried face when she saw Kili still out there. She slid down, Gandalf began counting off the dwarves and the hobbit's as they slid in. Finally Kili and Thorin were the last to slide in just as the wargs reached the crack, when suddenly a horn sounds.

They company listens to the horrifying conflict that was happening above them, when a orc rolls into the cave and they point their weapons at it, and notice its dead. And they could no longer hear anything above them. Thorin plucks out the arrow and examines it.

" Elves" He snarled in disgust as he gave the wizard a stern look.
