The Rescue Party

"What if something to her?" the words kept ringing in everyone's ears. Suddenly everyone went silent. All looked at each other realising the vulnerability of Edwina.

"Leave her! What will happen to her? It would be a good thing if anything happened to her. At least her boring life will be somewhat interesting," laughed Lorelei.

"I will…" Thorin gritted his teeth and made a jump on Lorelei but Aaron stopped him. "Not now, Ed is our priority, not her," said Aaron.
