Author's note:
While the company is resting in Rivendell, Bilbo and Violet fall deeper in love with each other as the days go by. Bilbo/OC
Violet awoke in a room she was not familiar with in the least. But by judging by the decorations, the architecture, and the cleanliness and smoothness of everything in her room, she guessed that she would be in Imladris, or in the common tongue, Rivendell. Violet knew what had happened to her, she knew all too well. While running from the Orc pack in the valley, her foot went through a rabbit hole and she twisted her ankle which her slowed down, a warg bit her, taking her waist in its mouth. After that, she had no idea what happened. The pain made her black out.
"I guess everything turned out okay if I'm resting in Rivendell," Violet spoke to herself. She tried to sit up, but the pain in her sides prevented her from doing so. Violet groaned and cursed to herself as she laid back down.
"Ah, Miss Violet, I see that you are finally awake," a tall elf with dark hair smoothly walked into the room with Gandalf coming in after him.
"I woke up only a few moments ago. I take it that I'm in Rivendell, am I correct?" asked Violet. Gandalf chuckled and gave a nod of his head.
"Violet, this is Lord Elrond, our host," said Gandalf. Lord Elrond walked to Violet and kissed her hand.
"Now then, my dear hobbit, let me take a look at your wounds," said Lord Elrond. Violet's shirt was lifted and Lord Elrond examined her wounds. "They look much better than they did yesterday. You'll be back on your feet in no time. Although, I would stay in bed for the rest of the day," Violet groaned and looked at Gandalf for help.
"Now, Violet, you don't want to strain yourself," said Gandalf.
"But...It's so boring in here all by myself," Violet's tone was sad and Gandalf knew exactly who she wanted to see.
"My Lord, I would like a few minutes alone with Miss Violet," said Gandalf. With a single nod and a smile to Violet, he left the room. Gandalf sat beside Violet and gave her his signature smile.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Have a done something wrong?" asked Violet, very confused. Gandalf chuckled and patted her on the head.
"Would you like some company? Anyone in particular?" Gandalf smiled at her, practically reading her mind.
"Oh...you know who I would love to see...more than anything," Violet blushed and Gandalf looked out of the window."He haunts my dreams Gandalf. He...makes me feel...happy," Violet sighed and laid her on the pillow.
"Very well, I shall go get Bombur-" At this Violet squeaked and started laughing. Gandalf laughed along with her.
"Oh Gandalf, you know who I mean!" said Violet at she gently pushed Gandalf's shoulder.
"I will fetch Master Baggins. I shall return shortly," and at that, Gandalf left the room, leaving Violet alone with her thoughts of Bilbo Baggins.
~oOo~
Gandalf walked towards the company, who were still trying to recover from the orc attack. Much to Thorin's dismay, he knew it would be several days until their departure. Bilbo was sitting with Bofur, the two chatting away happily. Gandalf was glad that Bilbo found a friend in the kind-hearted toy maker. The company saw Gandalf and looked at him, as if asking how their female burglar was doing.
"I have wonderful news everyone," said Gandalf. The company's eyes lit up at hearing the good news.
"The lass is awake?" asked Bofur excitedly. Bilbo looked up at Gandalf with hope and worry in his eyes. Gandalf smiled down at him, which in turn made Bilbo smile and sigh in relief.
"Yes, Miss Violet is awake and well. She's quite a bit sore and will be bed ridden for the rest of the day," everyone cheered and looked quite relieved.
"Well let's go see her then!" said Dori, causing a bit of an uproar.
"I want to see her, I miss her!" said the sweet youngest dwarf, Ori.
"We wanna see Violet!" said Fili and Kili in unison. Gandalf grumbled and Thorin boomed to his company to quiet down.
"All of you shall see Miss Violet in time, but she has requested Master Baggins and Master Baggins only to come into her room. She wishes to see you right away, Bilbo," said Gandalf. Bilbo looked up in slight surprise at Gandalf's words. Quickly Bilbo stood up and walked over to Gandalf. They started walking to Violet's room in silence. Gandalf looked down at a very nervous Bilbo.
"What on earth is the matter Master Baggins?" asked Gandalf. Bilbo stopped and ringed his now sweaty palms together.
"I know why Violet wants to see me so badly. I know," said Bilbo in almost a whisper.
"Why does she, Master Baggins?" asked Gandalf. He was starting to grow impatient with Bilbo. Poor Violet wanted to see him.
"It's because...sheknowsIloveher," Bilbo said the last bit far too quickly for Gandalf to comprehend.
"Say that again. Slower, please," said Gandalf.
"She knows...that I love her," said Bilbo after breathing deeply for a moment.
"How does she know that you love her?"
"I told her, kind of," Gandalf furrowed his brows at Bilbo's answer. "After the troll incident, I told her that I care about her and that I would be absolutely devistated if she...died..." explained Bilbo.
"Well, since we'll be spending quite some time here in Rivendell, you should express how you feel about her towards her," at that Bilbo's face turned red and he swollowed hard while loosening his necktie. "Come, Violet wants to see you," Gandalf led Bilbo down the long hallway and stopped at the door to where she was resting. Without even looking at Bilbo, Gandalf knocked on Violet's door and slowly opened it to find her sitting up and, looking tired. She smiled widely at Bilbo who peeked at her from behind the door. Gandalf gently nudged Bilbo in the room and wih a smile to both of them he closed the door, leaving Bilbo and Violet alone together.
"Hello," said Violet shyly. Bilbo walked over to her and sat on the edge of the bed beside her.
"Hello. I trust that you're feeling better?" asked Bilbo.
"Yes, although I don't remember feeling particularly bad. All I remember is feeling an incredible amount of pain," said Violet. Bilbo's smile slowly turned into a sad frown. "What happened to me, Bilbo? I know that I warg grabbed me, but what happened after that?" asked Violet. Bilbo didn't like to think about what happened. It made him sad and a bit sick. There was so much blood. Bilbo honestly didn't think Violet would make it.
"Well, while you where in the warg's mouth, the dwarves and I killed it and we had to pry you out," Bilbo sighed as Violet's face went pale. "I was the one who carried you all the way here, I-I wouldn't let anyone else touch you, I have to say, I think I was being a bit protective over you," Bilbo laughed nervously and looked away from Violet. Violet giggled and put her hand on Bilbo's. Bilbo quickly looked from his hand to Violet, a blush spreading across his cheeks.
"That's very kind of you. Thank you, Bilbo," said Violet in her usual soft tone. Bilbo slowly brought her hand to his lips and gave it a soft kiss. His eyes closed for the second that he kissed her hand. Violet's eyes widened and her cheeks turned pink. "Bilbo, I'm starting to think that you might fancy me," said Violet. Bilbo looked at her and smiled.
"Well, out of all of the hobbit women that I've met," Violet looked at him and raised her eyebrows. "Let me finish, let me finish," Bilbo chuckled, now firmly grasping her hand.
"Alright, go on, Mister Bachelor," said Violet with a giggle.
"I never felt like any one of them were the right ones for me. I just...feel so strange when I'm around you. I feel like I should always be with you, like I should protect you. I don't like being away from you, I...I really don't," explained Bilbo. Violet teared up as she listened to Bilbo. Bilbo took his thumb and whipped off a tear that was rolling down Violet's cheek. "Now, you need to rest up so we can explore Rivendell together tomorrow," said Bilbo with a wink as he made Violet lay down. He pulled the white blanket over her so she would be warm.
"That sounds wonderful, I can't wait," said Violet with a yawn. Bilbo smiled and started to get up. Violet grabbed his hand quickly and said, "Stay with me until I fall asleep...please?" Bilbo smiled and stroked her hair.
"Of course, I'll stay right here," Bilbo sat back down on the bed. Violet smiled and closed her eyes, soon falling asleep. BIlbo simply sat there and watched her sleep until the moon was even higher in the sky. Soon Bilbo began to feel quite tired himself. Not wanting to leave Violet, he leaned on the headboard of the bed. He propped his feet up on the bed and closed his eyes. He moved his hand over Violet's and gently grasped it. Violet sighed in her sleep and moved closer to Bilbo. Bilbo smiled and fell sleep a few minutes later into the most peaceful and happiest sleep he's had since he started this adventure.
These next few days are going to be wonderful...
