‘HELP! It’s going to kill me!’
Mirabella yelped in surprise and jumped forward with her flaming stick. The light covered the fallen hobbit, and she let out a peal of laughter.
‘Oh, Ben! Don’t be silly. No one’s going to kill you.’ She watched him turn over and realise that the monster was actually a lost dog. Rosie squealed in delight and patted the dog, who enjoyed it thoroughly.
Smiling at the dog, whos great eyes were now filled with great excitement, she said to the other 'Can we keep him? He seems nice enough, and if he can scare us, he could probably scare whoever out there who could be after us'
The other hobbits were uncertain, but she thought that it would be best to let them be. Sitting back she looked around and smiled. It was beginning to be a fun adventure again. But then she realised they were on their own now.
She turned to Ben and Olo 'Well, what shall we do now?'
