Right in front of me was a place I would call heaven. Bag End. Hell, if I consider this heaven, then wait until I get to Rivendell!
I could see the mark Gandalf had put on the door, it glowed blue and was quite hard to miss.
Fili was currently carrying Lexi, who still had not woken up yet. I would have been happy with half-dragging her myself, but he insisted on carrying her. Such a gentleman. Or a gentledwarf, maybe?
While we were making our way to Bag End, I noticed that I still had my backpack and hopefully still had all of its contents inside. Good thing I didn't have to borrow one of Lexi's old ones again. That was a disaster. I was teased about it for months!
Kili had somehow managed to clear up all the blood, and not a trace of it was left. I made a mental note to ask him how he managed to do that later on.
Kili stepped up to the door and knocked. A few seconds later, the door opened to reveal none other than Bilbo Baggins. He didn't seem very surprised that there were Dwarves in front of his house. I could see that he was uncomfortable with our arrival, though.
"Kili-" Kili started
"And Fili-" Fili continued
"At your service!" They said the last part together, and bowed.
"You must be Mr. Boggins." Kili said
"Baggins" I automatically corrected
Bilbo looked like he was fed up "Nope!" He exclaimed "You can't come in," and then he tried shutting the door in our faces. "You've come to the wrong house!"
Luckily the brothers had good reflexes and blocked the door so it couldn't shut properly. Bilbo tried pushing it shut, but he had almost nothing compared to the strength of Kili and Fili.
"What?" Kili asked, he looked a bit disappointed "Has it been canceled?"
Fili glanced at his brother "No one told us."
Bilbo made the mistake of telling them that nothing had been canceled, and the boys just barged in, knocking poor Bilbo out of the way.
Fili asked if there was anywhere he could set Lexi down, and Bilbo pointed towards the direction of one of the spare bedrooms. The brothers quickly took off.
Then Bilbo turned to me and smiled politely.
I smiled back at him "Freya, at your service," I curtsied "May I come in?" Surprise surprise, I actually did have some manners, and I was going to make sure those Dwarves were polite to Bilbo. The poor lad must be confused about the sudden turn of events.
"You can come in, everyone else already has, and without asking too may I add." Bilbo huffed.
I chuckled lightly and stepped into the house, and was instantly greeted with warmth. Bilbo's house was like my dream home.
"I can speak to those Dwarves if you would like, and knock some matters into them" I sent Bilbo a cheeky grin.
"No, no, it's fine, thanks for offering though. But beware because I might call you on that later" Bilbo grinned at me and lead my into the dining room where Kili and Fili were sitting at a table with two other Dwarves, having a conversation. I wasn't exactly sure what it was about though.
I recognized the two Dwarves as Dwalin and Balin, and remembered that they were brothers. Balin was the first to notice my presence, and was quick to ask Kili and Fili "Lads, who is this Lass? I don't remember her being part of the company"
That's just about when Dwalin looked up, and a frown came across his face. I was just about to introduce myself when Kili beat me to it "This is Freya! We found her tripping over a rock and was about to fall down a hill when I saved her."
He just had to add that part, didn't he?
Fili snorted "Yeah, and you totally freaked her out in the process and she elbowed you in the face and made your nose bleed!"
I smiled sheepishly as Dwalin and Balin broke into laughter. Kili's face had gone red from embarrassment and Fili just looked smug. Even Bilbo was smiling.
Before Kili could defend himself, there was somebody knocking on the door. But this time it sounded as if there were more than one person outside the door. I followed Bilbo as he made his way to the door.
"No. No. There's nobody home!" Bilbo shouted. Yeah, like that was going to help. "And there's far too many Dwarves in my dining room as it is."
And I thought Bilbo couldn't get any angrier at the situation. Bilbo continued to rant as he reached the door. As Bilbo opened up the door, eight Dwarves fell through.
Being as unlucky as I was, I didn't jump away quick enough and ended up at the bottom of the pile. And let me tell you, it was bloody painful.
They all shouted at each other, telling the others to get off of them. I just lay there, waiting patiently and silently praying that I would live. These Dwarves made Lucy and Nia feel like lightweights compared to them!
After what felt like forever, the Dwarves had all finally managed to get up. I was never so happy to be able to breathe in my life.
And I thought the twins were bad enough.
I made some sort whimpering noise. I felt like my ribs had been bruised. That's the last time I'm ever going near a door when it's being opened.
My whimpering caught the attention of some of the Dwarves. I could see the shock and surprise on their faces. One of them moved towards me. I saw the hat and knew instantly that it was Bofur.
"You alright there, lass?" He asked as he helped me to my feet. I nodded my head and brushed some dirt off of my clothes. My outfit was a white spaghetti strap vest top, a black leather jacket, blue jeans and combat boots. At least I wasn't under dressed for this place, I had no idea how long I was going to be stuck here for.
"Bofur at your service" He introduced himself with a bow. He then started to introduce the other Dwarves to me
"This is my brother Bombur, and my cousin Bifur, the rest are Dori, Ori, Nori, Oin and Gloin" They all bowed or nodded their heads towards me.
"Freya at yours" I curtsied again. Never have I curtsied so much in my life.
Bofur was just about to say something, but was cut of from a very loud and familiar shriek. Now she decides to wake up?
It's about time that Lexi wakes up, we wouldn't want her missing out having dinner with Dwarves.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter, leave a review telling me what you think of the story so far!
