I do not own The Hobbit. I only own Tiffani.

Story Start

"Tiffani, Tiffani, are you awake?" Bilbo's cheerful voice called from outside of her door. He gave a few knocks before jumping when he felt a firm hand land on his shoulder. He looked back to see Gandalf standing there with a small frown. "Gandalf, you frightened me. Do you know what is wrong with Tiffani? She missed breakfast," he muttered to the wizard.

"Our friend, Tiffani, has found out something unique about herself and I'm sure she doesn't know how to take that information. Let us give her time to process this on her own. She needs to come to terms with this before we leave later this evening," Gandalf told the hobbit before he gently steered the two of them to walk towards the gardens.

"I'm a flipping angel," Tiffani muttered for probably the thousandth time since she had went to bed. She had yet to leave the bed, mostly because she was stumped by what Lord Elrond said, and also because the bed was the most comfortable thing she had slept on since starting this journey with the dwarves, Gandalf, and Bilbo. "But I don't even have wings! If I'm an angel, then I should totally have wings. I've been jipped," she grumbled as she finally swung herself off the bed to get dressed for the day.

Her stomach was growling up a storm as she was dressed and walking out of her room. She did not run into anyone she knew, but all that mattered was she could smell where the kitchens were. Her sensitive nose never let her down when it came to finding food.

Tiffani was surprised to not see anyone in the kitchen, but she did see a plate of food sitting in the center of the room. "Secret agent angel," she whispered with glee as she started sneaking into the kitchen. She was humming a tune she had seen from a spy movie years ago as she stealthily grabbed the plate of food and booked it out of the room. She raced all the way to the gardens and almost dropped all of the food and the plate.

"My eyes, they burn," she thought after she had seen all of the dwarves bathing in one of the large fountains in the gardens. "Ok, that's a nice view, but my eyes," she whispered as she gazed at Thorin, Fili, and Kili before she rushed out of the gardens and back to the halls. She didn't know if any of the dwarves had seen her, but she did run into Lord Elrond, who gave her a little smirk when she blushed.

"I didn't mean to see that," she muttered before stuffing food in her mouth so she wouldn't say anything to make her more embarrassed.

Lord Elrond chuckled as he gently put one of her arms in his. He gave her plate of food a curious look but did not say anything. "I tried to tell them where they could bathe, but they had other plans. I'm sorry you had to see that, it's not proper for you to see such things," he said as he led her to his study so he could continue talking to her about what she was.

"Well if I tell him I enjoyed the view, will he freak out?" she thought with a small laugh before happily taking a seat in the beautiful study.

Lord Elrond was polite enough to have small talk with her while she finished eating, but as soon as she was done, he began to tell her what he knew about angels. "Angels have only been believed to be a myth here in Middle Earth, but there have been a few cases of angels being seen. They have been seen at the sides of great kings as advisors, they have been seen aiding in battles, and they have been seen randomly in forests with the creatures of the realm. I do not know what all powers your kind have, but I am happy that you are here. I fear that dark times are on their way for this realm, and with you here, I feel better that things are not as dark as they appear. You will be the light whenever there is darkness," he told her softly but seriously.

"So I was brought here to help in battles?" Tiffani muttered not having a problem with that idea. She enjoyed a good fight here or there if it was for a good cause.

"I am not sure your entire purpose of being here now, but I am happy you are here. The only advice I can give you is be true to yourself and what you feel is right. I wish I could tell you more about how to use your powers, but you will have to learn that on your own. Also, you are always welcome here, so please come back whenever you want," he told her kindly as he walked towards her and held out his hand for hers.

"Thank you, but I'll only come back if I can torment your sons some more," she teased and laughed at his surprised face, which quickly turned into a smile.

"That sounds like a deal," he said before the two of them left the study to find the others.

Lord Elrond left her at the entrance of the gardens, where the dwarves were no longer bathing but now they were sparring. She waved goodbye to the elf before focusing on the dwarves, and she would have dug herself a hole in the ground to hide in after seeing Thorin's glare and the mischievous looks from Kili and Fili.

"It was your fault for bathing in the fountain where anyone could see, so don't give me that look. Anyways it's your fault for being nice to look at, so blame yourself," Tiffani said quickly with a slight blush on her cheeks before anyone could say anything to her. She rushed out of the garden to go enjoy some time with Gandalf and Bilbo before they had to leave tonight for the journey to continue.
