This is my first fanfic for The Hobbit, so I hope you enjoy!

Oh and by the way, our main characters swear sometimes. Just to let you know.

I don't own any of the characters from The Hobbit, but I do however own the characters from this chapter

I stared out of the car window, watching as the scenery flew passed in a multicolored blur. I stifled a yawn as I sunk further into the seat. I had been sat in the car for over an hour as my parents were taking me to my Uncles house while my parents went away for a holiday.

Personally, I didn't see any reason for me not to go with my parents, but they simply insisted that I stayed and spent more time with my family. The last time I went to stay with my Uncles family it didn't go well. It happened a few years ago and let's just say that it involved my cousin insulting my most favorite book of all time, and as soon as the words had left my cousins mouth, her face was attacked by a flying book.

Now, as much as I would like to tell you that I don't usually do this, I would be lying. Books just happen to be my choice of weapon. Books, the best weapons in the universe.

My father finally pulled the car over after what seemed like forever and parked outside a house that was all too familiar to me. I slung her bag over my shoulder and climbed out of the car. I had barely gotten out of the car when the door burst open and two little girls came running towards me. My first thought was 'run.', but before I had the chance I was being tackled to the ground.

The next thing I knew was that I was on the floor with two little blondes sitting on top of me. Lovely.

"Okay, okay no need to ambush me like that!" I squirmed and tried to escape from the clutches of the evil (As I called them) girls.

"Freya! We've missed you!" One of them squealed

"Yes alright, but I don't think that means you have the right to crush me to death" I teased, and I couldn't keep a straight face for much longer and my face broke into a smirk.

The girls who were sitting on top of me, poor me may I add, happen to be Lucy and Nia, who are my nine year old twin cousins. They both had blonde hair and green eyes, and you couldn't even tell which twin you were talking to (They even wore the same clothes!) The only way you could tell who was who was by their personalities.

Nia was the chatty and funny twin, while Lucy was wild and clumsy one. I adored them both to bits, and found them much better to hang around with than my other cousin, Lexi who was nineteen just like me unfortunately, and was the most ignorant person. Ever.

'Speaking of the devil' I thought as Lexi strolled out of the house, typing away on her phone. She was dressed in a pale blue dress and wore high heeled shoes which looked impossible to walk in. I couldn't even walk in heels to save my own life. To me one of the worlds biggest mysteries was how girls managed to walk around wearing those death traps and not snap their necks from falling in the process.

Lexi was blonde like her little sisters, and now had light brown highlights, which were definitely not there the last time I saw her. She had blue eyes, just like my Aunt Clarissa. Now, don't be fooled by her appearance. She is actually a lot smarter than she looks. But don't ever tell her I said that. I would never hear the end of that.

She briefly glanced up from her phone, and looked me straight in the eyes. And as quickly as she had looked up she went back to texting whichever of her little minions she was currently talking to. Surprisingly she slipped her phone into one of her pockets.

"I see the girls have already knocked you to the ground, and you've barely been here five minutes" Lexi drawled, a small smirk tugged at the corner of her lips, which were covered in pink lip gloss. 'Typical Lexi' I thought.

"It's nice to see you too, Lexi" I gave her a mock salute.

Lexi turned her attention to the two mini devils who were still sitting on top of me, and made a quick gesture with her hand, and they shot up off of me in a matter of seconds.

Hell, I would have had to bribe them with candy so that they would get off me. What on earth has Lexi done to those girls to make them behave?!

I took a deep breath as I felt all the air going back to my lungs. I was so happy that I could finally breathe again.

After I felt better I stood up. "Well uh, thanks for uh.. You know, getting them off of me.." I mumbled.

I saw her smirk at me. Again. And then turned to my parents. Who I had forgotten were sitting in the car and had seen my youngest cousins attack me. Great.

"You can come in and speak to my parents if you want" Lexi put on a sweet and innocent smile, which caused me to slightly glare at her. Honestly, she would be able to get away with murder when she acted like that!

My dad was the one to reply saying "We would love to, but we're going to be late for our flight if we don't get going" Thank the gods. There would be no embarrassing stories about me this afternoon.

My parents said their goodbyes, and told us they would be back the next week. They then drove away, and took my chance of not sharing a room with Lexi with them. Damn, maybe I would catch them next time.

Lexi and I walked in silence to the house that would be my prison for the next week. 'But hey, at least I have the twins to keep my company' I thought. Oh great.

And there you have it, the first chapter of my new story! Leave a review and tell me what you think, was it good? Or bad? I just want your opinions.

In the next chapter I will be sending the girls off to Middle Earth, so don't worry!
