“Hurry!" Madoc cried. He had already run down to the steam and was crying for the other Hobbits to do so as well. He held up his blackthorn club as he was going in a fight and ran down towards the steam. Daisy knew something was wrong as soon as she heard the terrible scream that belonged to no other than Estelle. Daisy took up her own knife from her apron, in case she needed it. "Where is Estelle?" She asked Tom as they were running along. Daisy was soon out of breath. Then suddenly she saw the wild dogs. The big creatures with their enormous teeth, fangs in the front, were barking at them. Daisy could feel coldness, as cold as ice, crawl down her spine. In the background she could see Estelle, she'd been knocked down, and she wasn't moving.

"Get back you foul creatures!" Madoc cried and held his club trying to threaten the dogs. They seemed to take no heed of Madoc’s weapon however. Soon Gorby, Cedric and Ivy were standing behind Madoc, supporting him against the wild dogs.

All Daisy could think of was Estelle, who was lying on the ground. It seemed so far away, yet it wasn’t.. Se wanted to get over to help her, but it seemed impossible as the dogs were blocking the way.

Without being warned one of the dogs attacked Madoc, and Madoc fell to the ground with the dog upon him. The dog showed his teeth, and barked yet again to show its own strength. Madoc let out a little whine.

Suddenly Cedric cried for help. The other wild dogs had jumped over him. "Help!" Help me!!"

Daisy watched all of this with horror, but couldn't do much because it happened so fast. "Cedric!" Daisy cried a she saw that one of the dogs had opened his mouth, ready to kill. She ran forwards, even though she was scared, and stabbed the dog from the back, and the blood was flowing. It cried out in anger and turned towards her. As it was just to jump over Daisy, she managed to sneak away, and the dog hit the ground. Daisy had great fortune, and it didn't stop there; because there, where the dog had landed, stood Gorby ready to kill it. He stabbed it twice in the neck and it took its last breath, while barking angrily.

"Are you alright?" Gorby asked and ran towards her. She gave a small nod, she wasn't quite herself and wasn't capable to say anything, but she managed to thank him for saving her life. Cedric had also managed to get to his feet by now and he hurried over to them before another dog could attack him. He seemed alright, but he was bleeding from his left shoulder, and his shirt was torn apart. The white colour of the shirt had turned into a mix of brown, from the ground, and red from the blood.

They didn't get much time to clear their thoughts before yet another dog eyed them, wanting to revenge its fellow dog they’d just killed…..
