Chapter one
I don't know why but in one summer something really unexpected happened. I remember it as if was yesterday. I was 18 years old, the first summer when I was completely alone in my house no one else because of accident (DAMN WINTER ROADS and DRUNK TRUCK DRIVERS). But I didn't let sadness take me over because my mother wouldn't like that, so I was still trying to make our home beautiful and make her proud. House belongs to me and not my relatives thanks to my mother's uncle. He helped me to protect it from my bad relatives, and he is helping me finically but I earn something myself. (Ok. sorry lets return to the story) It was very hot 2014 June day almost twelve o'clock I was wearing simple bikini top and shorts I was working in my garden trying to save roses from weeds. Then I heard really loud splash in the pool which was behind the garage. At first I thought it was ducks they liked to swim in that pool sometimes, I was waiting for bird sounds but I heard something that I did not expect. I heard voices and a lot of them they were groaning and huffing like "Damn it I am vet ". "huff!" "Get off!" What really surprised me was one really loud voice "Gandalf what in Mahalas name is going on here?". It was more like a roar.
(little explanation 0)
Well you see guys I live in middle of nowhere and closest neighbours are in 3km radius. So I was really surprised about voices. Wait … Mahala and Gandalf were I have heard something like that somewhere ….. AHA now I remember it was in Tolkien books. Wait a minute no no no no! I have some cosplay freaks in my pool SHIT! {P.S I really respect people who are doing this but I thought that you can meet them only on comic cons}.
What do I dooo? Ok stop it, clam down Anna Maria Sheppard. Oh I know what to do! I will just ask them to leave like civilized eighteen years old girl. But what if they won't want to leave? Then I spotted axe on pile of wood near garage….ah I suppose I will take axe with me just in case. Guys as I said I live in country side I have private home and axe is one of the most important things in to get wood ( so don't get any ideas about my mental state) Yes, I also have a chainsaw too but you see it will make a lot noise and it will freak them out and I don't have strength to lift it. Also I don't want to get noticed before I see them. Maybe I should explain how territory looks to get to the pool. There two ways to the pool: one I go straight from the garden were I am now and it is left side of the garage but they will notice me right away so that's not an option. Second the right side of the garage but I will have to cross some gardens and one of the orchards and because of that they will not notice me. (Let me explain I have a lot of thing around my house. Almost ten flower gardens and tree orchards and two pools I am moving to the big one and after him there is one growing park. What? My mother liked gardening. Sorry I talk a lot when I am stressed. I will explain better if I will survive this encounter). So I decided to take another way, I took axe checked that I have house keys in the pocket and quietly went to the pool shit I felt like Christian Bale from American psycho (What it is a great movie so don't judge me ). I crossed my gardens and orchid when I reached pool I saw people who were looking lost two of them were arguing pfft… they were still standing in the pool. Oh my god there a lot of them fifteen I suppose but I was too far away I didn't see really clearly and didn't hear what they were talking about. So I decided to move closer. I hid in tall grass just in case I lied on my stomach and started to crawl closer to the edge of the pool but made sure that they wouldn't see me. Now I am close enough to see and hear them clearly so I started to observe them almost all of them had facial and long head hair except one strange. Wait… something silver is glittering in sun oh no all of them have weapons and it looks real shit! Ok Anna clam down they may be only for show. I decided focus on observing people. One of them was taller than others and looked much older, he was wearing a pointy hat? grey robes? carrying staff in hand? Ohh now I see this guy must be cosplaying Gandalf (must admit costume is really well made). Next to him from right side was standing man with basecoat and really curly hair? He looked with hope to find answers from "Gandalf". Wait he looks just….just…like HOBBIT (and this is not just hobbit the guy is probably cosplying Bilbo Bagins!). Wait, wait stop letting your inner fan girl roam. I have to look at the others. On ''copy Gandalf's'' left side (now I will call them like that. You know they can't be real ones right?) was standing man with raven hair and short beard , he had coat with furs and big sword on the hip and he was standing kinda majestic…. majestic ….majestic ahhh this guy is cosplaying the hottest dwarf in the world Thorin Okenshield (again stop being fan girl). Have to look at the others not so far from copy Bilbo there were standing two men one with funny hat and really friendly smile he was trying to cheer another one who was really round and plump guy with ginger hair and beard what was birded in one big bride. On his back there was bag with food and lot of it. Bofur! Bombur! These guys are probably cosplaying company of Thorin Okenshield. Strange what are they doing here in the middle of nowhere? ( They are cosplaying characters from the movie .You see it is not popular here , maybe in the city but not in contry side. I and my family were the only ones who knew about the book , we even went to the movie together . Damn it Hobbit was my favourite book and movie before accident movie premier was on winter).
Ok let's return to current situation but I have to move to left side because Bombur is blocking others. Slowly and quietly I started to move to see others and then "CRAK" damn it! why didn't I clean this grass from tree branches! I went still hoping that they didn't hear me but knowing my luck they have heard (Damn!) They became really quiet.
