I was dreaming when a firm knock on the door woke me up. "Wha-what?" I yawned. A blonde head peeked in. "Can we sleep with you? Kili keeps thinking someone is under the bed." I yawned again before flipping the covers over so they could snuggle up. "So what is under your bed?" I asked while pulling my knees to my chest. Kili snuggled up closer to me, "an Orc." I immediately froze. Orcs were a terrorist group in Mordor; they have been watching and waiting for something. Their leader was named Azog- he gave me nightmares. Azog is supposedly after someone in Erebor (says the news).
"How do you know they're under your bed?" I said trying to figure out why I'm more protective than their uncle, who probably sleeps with a sword. "We heard roaring…and we were terrified, so we came in here," Fili explained. I stood up and opened my door and peeked out into the dark hallway.
"Are you sure?" I whispered when they each grabbed onto my pajama pants. Just then we heard a giant roar. I jumped so quickly that I flopped onto the floor followed by Fili and Kili. "Told you," Fili said.
"Do you happen to have a lion somewhere?" I asked when the two shook their head no. I walked over to my nightstand and pulled out my sliver flashlight. "Looks like we have a mystery on our hands boys," I joked while turning on my flashlight and walking over to the boys' room.
"It's under there!" Kili exclaimed. Fili got on top of a chair, jumped over to the bookshelf, then jumped again to the bed. Kili took a more careful approach. He stood on top of a pillow, jumped onto the side of the bookshelf, and carefully climbed up onto the bed. Just then we heard another roar, this time fainter. Wait, if the sound was in here wouldn't the sound be louder or did I learn nothing in science class. "Guys, I don't think it's an Orc- the sound would be louder if it was in here," I explained.
Fili face palmed his head, "Kili! I told you there was no monster!" He said as Kili weakly laughed. I walked over to Kili and gave him a tight hug.
"That completely fine, we all have our moments. Plus, Fili you were scared too." Fili quickly looked down at his feet. One mystery solved. One still unanswered. What or who made that noise? We walked back out into the hall when we heard it again. It was loud and deep, like an engine roaring. I stepped a bit in front of me and behind me, to find out where the noise was louder and softer.
"You stay here," I said to the boys while walking down the steps. The sound was getting louder by each step I took. When I reached the end of the steps I almost busted out laugh, but bit down on my lip to prevent myself.
"What is it?" Kili quickly asked when I came back up.
"The rare… Thorin Oakinshield's snoring." I said laughing. "He's down on the couch- apparently couldn't sleep in his bed. Okay, go get some sleep." The two obeyed and walked to bed with Fili griping to his brother.
A/n: So cute! I couldn't help myself but do this chapter. Yes I know its short but the next chapter won't.
