Fredgar Hornblower, Shiriff of Hobbiton
Fredgar asked Halfred where Aman could be but just Halfred shook his head and said "No, I haven't seen her since I arrived, but I believe she's inside the Inn and trying to get important things out of there." Fredgar nodded and looked around. He ordered Zackarias and Angus to help the wounded and himself would go to the stables and get the horses out. He passed a hobbit that looked familiar to him. He must be.... Wait... I know him... It's... Tobias Hornblower! He grinned to the hobbit, and the hobbit seemed to recognize him. "Toby!" he shouted and hugged him. "My old cousin. It have been to long since we last met." he said and grinned to Toby. "I must get the horses and ponies out of the stable. Would you help me?" Toby nodded. "Follow me." Fredgar said and began to run to the stable. Toby followed him. They entered by the side door of the stable. He could hear many of the horses and ponies neigh in fear and panic, since they've heard the screaming and the smell of smoke in there. Fredgar opened the big door at the front of the stable. It was quiet heavy but he and Toby managed to open it. "Help me take the horses first!" he shouted to Toby. The horses neighed so much that they could barely hear each other. It was a hard work, since the horses was frightened and paniced. They got them all outside and bound by tree's outside.
"Now the ponies!" he shouted to Toby. The ponies were much easier for them to handle as they were smaller than full grown horses that was in panic. They managed to get them all outside and bound beside the horses. "There! All out." he said to Toby and puffed. He leaned back to a tree. He was vey strong for a being a hobbit, but this was requiered more mental strength than muscles. I must see over the wounded together with Zack and Angus, he thougt and ran up. "I am so sorry Tobias, but I must run. We can talk later on when this is over. Duty calls!" he said and grinned to Toby. "Oh, and could you please take care of the horses and just look after them. It would be great if you could!" he said and turned and ran back to the Inn. At distance he could see Zackarias and Angus taking care of the wounded. "How is it going?" he asked and puffed. He wasn't in very good condition. "Well" Zackarias started, "Many of them have burn wounds. They are hard to heal and requiers much attention. This is harder than we thought!" Fredgar nodded and sat down beside them and helped a hobbit with his hands that he had burned when he threw water on the fire. He had been first in the bucket chain. The hobbit's eyes was looked like he was on the verge of tears.
"I must find Aman. Do you know where she is?" Fredgar asked and started to get annoyed that he couldn't find her. Angus hummed and said "No.. I haven't seen her anywhere." Fredgar sighed and stamped his foot in the ground. He coughed by all the dust that flew up when he stamped and then said "I go see where she is." Angus nodded and turned to the hobbit's hand. Fredgar looked around everywhere but Aman seemed like she was totally gone. He sighed and then started to run around and look for her. He could see Halfred and a few other hobbits, led by Halfred, that tried to organize a new bucket chain.
