As the dwarves are fighting the trolls, Bilbo manages to steal a knife and free the ponies, but the trolls notice and grab him, holding him by his arms and legs.

Maleficent narrows her eyes at their actions, and crouches down in the tree, balancing herself as she crawled like a cat stalking its prey, as she moved from her hiding place and onto a rock behind the trolls. Unintentionally, she saw Gandalf. Where has he been?
