Penny had finally fallen into a peaceful sleep.
“Wake up Penny” Mirabella cried as she shook her. “There something out there.” Penny looked towards the direction Mirabella had pointed at. She was pointing into the tall grass.
“What is it?” Penny asked getting scared.
“I don’t know. It has two, big, yellow eyes. Were being watched!” Mirabella replied before she ran off. Watched by who or what? Penny ran over to where she had been sleeping earlier. Her knife lay just where she left it. Penny breathed a big sigh of relief. At least she had a good weapon.
There wasn’t much light. He moon was again covered by a dark cloud, and the fire had only a few glowing embers in it. The wind blew softly and Penny shivered. She stood awake and alert like the rest of the hobbits. Penny was scared. She gripped her sword tightly until her knuckles turned white.
Who is out there?
