Chapter three:Hide-in-seek,little spider whisper

"Well...Thief." Smaug said as he crawled out of his gold and start looking around. I was trying think of a way to get out of here but I couldn't think through at all. I try to move my body but I was just frozen,Smaug kept getting closer to where I am hiding.

"(Inhaled deeply) Mmm...I smell you,I hear your breath,I feel your air" Smaug is getting closer to where I am, I really don't know what to do,he will kill me when he sees's me!

"Where are you?" I didn't know what to do at all, should I stay or run for my life!?

"Where are you!?" I turned a bit and saw his mouth at the end of the pillar, I made my decision...I'm globing running for my life!

It made a lot of coin's kept sliding, he turned his head at the pillar to kill his thief (which is me) but I got to the other side so he doesn't get a chance to kill me. But I was unaware I was running towards his tail (which was underneath the gold, so I didn't know). When I reached there,Smaug swung his tail and I was flung into the air, about to scream of course until I get hit very hard by the tall pillar then everything went black.


Smaug came towards his thief to see who is trying to steal his gold,but suddenly when he first saw his thief,it was a female. He was confused and this doesn't happen usually,that a female would come into his kingdom. He started sniffing 9 bodies while she was still knock out,he found out she was afraid,scared, and fear of him,but he has also found out she was...different. He never smelt a new type before (except the creature who was trying to steal his treasure). He kept sniffing 9 bodies to catch her scent but mostly her hair,he smelt blueberries around her. Don't know why but he like's it.

He starts to have enough of time fooling around. His chest and eyes start to glow,his mouth was nearly filled with fire. When he was about to breath fire on 9,he looks at her one more time. He starts to feel his flames went away,something has stopped him from burning her. He was struck into his mind.

'Then what? After you kill your thief,then you just do nothing. Nothing but resuming in gold, or sleep? Just sit here, years and years and years until another thief come's in and try to steal from me?'He thought,he didn't know what was going in his mind. This has never happened before, for the first time, it felt different. He shook his head then look at 9.

'Why am I feeling this? Why can't I just kill her?'

He then remembered he have been lonely for many years and he doesn't want to keep this going.

'Hmm,there's something different about her. She's not like any mortal flesh I smell.'


I started to wake up and felt everything hurts a bit around me. Suddenly I felt a warmth breathing beside me, I quickly turned around and I was face to face with Smaug. My memories came back to me, went to the lonely mountain,found an open passageway,played with gold and now...

'I'M FACING WITH REAL LIVE SMAUG!?'

I gasp and started to crawl backward as Smaug drew closer towards me but I felt the pillar I hit behind me. I swallowed real hard, I didn't know what to do next but just stare into his eyes of destruction,fire, and...beauty...(just say it,stupid thing to think about when your about to die).

"Well well,(Chuckled darkly) what do I have here?" he said in a dark voice. I was really scared and afraid that he is real,very real! But slight happy to see my favorite character from a book and a movie.

"I...uh...I d-d-didn't m-meant-t-to trespass y-your land,oh Smaug th-the m-magnificent. I-I didn't mean to disturbed your s-slumber." I said really nervous and hope I won't die that easily and trying to sound like middle earth time's (good thing Jenny taught me a bit how to sound like them, almost).

"Hmm...Usually, I never had any female thief in my chamber. Tell me, what is your name?" He drew his head closer to me again,showing his sharp teeth inches away from my face that could snatch me in any moment which I felt very uncomfortable seeing those.

"Um...um..uh..." I really didn't want to say my name.

"Hmm?"

"M-my name is k-kinda stupid...but...(Sigh)...it's 9."

"Really" I nodded

"Well 9, you have to be foolish enough to come into my kingdom. So tell me,why are you here?"

"Uh..."

"Were you going to steal my gold,challenge me with your little sword behind your back, or are you a sacrifice from any village to appease me?"

Okay,now I'm in trouble! I don't know what to say, I wasn't trying to steal his gold(well maybe), if I try to challenge him I would be dead by a second, and I wasn't here as a sacrifice! Since when did middle earth do that?

"N-no...I wasn't here for any of that. I-I was just..."

"Just what?"

"Um...I was j-just looking for a place that could be safe...And-"

"Ah...So little 9 wanted to stay away from the cold. But as I do recall, that I'm a dragon and I kill people whenever I wish to. So...I might as well being enjoying eating you for a good snake."...Now I'm going to die! I thought quickly for a second looking for a plan, then I thought a game that could buy me time to get out of here.

"Wait,wait,wait!" I yelled and put my hands up in front of him, which he growled. So I put my hands down and continued to talk.

"I...uh...I m-may have a challenge for you but not like the battle,it's more like...hiding." I said and hope he won't say no.

"What kind of challenge that involves with hiding?"

"W-well,it's like hid-in-seek. When a person counts to...one thousand they have to find the person you is hiding and catch them. B-but you have to catch them before the person 7 hour is up." Yeah, so I added some fake rule's to it but it's the only way to get the hell out of here!

"Fine. If I catch you, I shall finally enjoy either burning you or eating you." I felt a huge fear all over me, I kept trying to keep out imagine what will happen if he catches me.

"...O-okay. B-but if you didn't catch me, I would leave your kingdom and promise I won't interrupt your nap ever again."

"Very well...And I think you should start running."

"W-why?" Smaug head back away from me then stare down at me with a wicked smirk.

"Cause I already counted." Then right before me (think this one as a slow motion) he opened his jaw's wide open and charge at me. Knew I might die, I use my speed to run away fast as I can. While Smaug hit his jaw and head hard on the pillar. I stopped and saw I was right beside the stairs, so I run. Smaug was right behind me, he's claws was getting close to grab so I jump off the stairs and rolled down on gold again. I saw a tunnel that's not so far, I got up and start running toward's it while Smaug is still behind me,this time with his teeth trying to eat me! No choice I jump for it and made it safely in the tunnel when Smaug almost damaged his teeth.


'Shit,shit,shit,SHIT!' I just kept on running and running, trying to find a way out! I don't even know where I am! I even kept running into Smaug when he try's to catch me, I just dodge and run when his claws or teeth are about to crush me. I don't even how many minutes (or hours) have been when I was trying to survive. While I was still running I stop and catch my breath from running from that dragon.

'Why do I always make a stupid choice!' I kept running until I literally almost fall into a deep pit. It could even make a person death to fall in. '9, I know your not afraid of height's, but you have no any other way out!'

"Yeah, screw it." I turned around to find another way out but I saw Smaug standing right at the other end of the hallway. '...No choice's 9. YOU HAVE TO JUMP!'

I run toward the opposite side then just jump into it. While I was falling I noticed there were chain's still here, I grab onto one and hold on tight while it kept doing down. Then I heard Smaug roared, looking up I saw him crawling down in the tunnel, with his mouth open nearly getting closer to me! I jump off the chain and reached towards another and another getting away quick as possible.

"You well never escape from me!" He yells and almost made me go deaf. While I kept on jumping to the next I notice a few feet down there was a ledge not too far. When the chain is close down, I swing towards it and jump and rolled on the ledge into the tunnel, Smaug was nearly close again. I've been running around when I finally lost him,I lay against the wall then slide down to sit.

'Okay,okay. Just a little rest,9. You've been chased by a real live Smaug,you have to find a way out no-'

"AHHH!" I felt something crawled around my shoulder. I got up and shook it off of whatever is was.

'Ow!' I heard someone said, I look around but I didn't see-

'Down here!' I heard it again. I look down and saw...a spider?

'Okay, now I starting to go crazy.' I was beginning to think that a spider could talk.

'You are not crazy.'

...

"YOU READ MY MIND?!" I yelled and quickly shut my mouth, Smaug could have heard that.

'Ahh! Yes! I did read your mind. Could you stop yelling! Do you know how hard it is when you're a spider? People with loud noise, being annoying?' Okay, this is very crazy and very something. A spider who can read your thoughts and mind.

"S-sorry." I apologize.

'(Sigh) It's fine. Just don't do that.'

"Okay...Do you have a name or you just be called spider?"

'Yes, I do have a name and it's not spider,it's Pip.'

"Oh,alright Pip, my name is 9"

'Okay. Anyway, why are you in the dragon's lair. Haven't you even think about it before coming here?' Being honest he is right but It's not my fault that I didn't know there's a real live dragon in this place.

"I actually didn't know he still alive, okay. I thought he was dead. If you excuse me, I have to find a way out." I said and start to leave.

'I know a way got but I think you are going in a wrong way.' I heard him say but I ignored him, cause I really do kinda hate spider. I didn't even squash one single bug. It's just gross to squash them. Not to mention, if it talks in your mind, what can you do? 'And I think the dragon there.'

"No, he is-" When I turned the corner, I saw Smaug at the end of the hall, Still looking until he had spotted me. Then saw his face with a smirk.

'...Show me the way out!' I thought in my head and pulled back in the corner and saw Pip start crawling fast.

'Follow me.' He said and start crawling on the wall and turned left. I followed him fast when I heard Smaug coming after me.


17 Minutes later

'Hey! Wait up!' I yelled in my head when Pip is going fast ahead of me. I don't even know if he know's the way out cause we just passed the same statue of a dwarf head!

'Do you even know where we at?' I ask and know he can read my mind.

'Of course, I do. Now we just have to-...oh.'

'What?'

'This may be a problem. Can you climb wall's' I look at what he's talking about and look closely and saw a crack on the wall very high up that I could fit in enough .'Cause for a human,-'

'Actually, I'm not really all human. I'm kinda like a half vampire.' I said nervously.

'You are. Huh. Never notice. Does that mean you can climb on wall or you can't?'

'I can.' I started to climb on the wall,trying to get to the hole in the wall until I heard a roar.

"Shit. He's coming." I whisper in fear and start climbing fast until I finally reached with Pip. It was dark inside I almost couldn't see but just a bit.

'Come on,come on! Let's not let the dragon kill us.' He said then he stop.

'What, What is it?!'

'...I'm scared of the dark. I don't want to go inside the deep dark hole!' He said them climb out of the hole.

'Wait! I need your help!' But he already crawled down the wall and left me behind.

'Pip! Get back here yo-!' I was about to crawled out to get him, but instead of him, I was blocked by a scale dragon nose. 'SHIT! WHY ME!?' I crawled backward away from Smaug's nose. I saw him took his nose away and replaced with his eye.

'NONONONONO! WHY ME,WHY ME! WHY OUT OF ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE,WHY GLOBING ME!' I kept scooting back away from him, trying to hold the screaming inside, until I saw him turned and walk away. I got confused what just happened and why did he left instead of catching me. I shack my head and continued to crawl in the hole.

When I reached toward the end of the hole, I look around to see where I am. It kinda looks like a huge room with a gold floor covered in a bit of dirt on the ground, I think this room is where when Thorin tries to kill Smaug with hot melted gold on him which was a total fail( no offense).

THUD

'SERIOUSLY!' I quickly run toward's one of the pillars and hide behind it.

"I know you're here." I heard him said. I kept hearing(and felt) the ground shook every time he takes his step closer.

"You know I will win this little challenge." I couldn't take it anymore, I run toward the wall around the shadows. I kept hoping I won't be caught by him in the shadows. He kept crawling through, looking around the room until he grabbed both pillar's and his head came down, looking straight at me! 'This is how my life end's! WHY DO MY LIFE HAVE TO END LIKE THIS! I'M GOING TO-' "Where are you?"...He doesn't see's me! How could he no-wait? Maybe he couldn't see me in the dark. That may be why he didn't see me in the hole I guess.

I slide a bit to the left and a bit fast so he won't know I'm here or hear a sound. I was almost far away from him until I accidentally sneezed( almost sound like a kitten) from the dust. Smaug heard the noise,he now know's exactly where I am,he started to chase toward the noise. I run out of there as fast as I could, trying to find another tunnel to go in. But before I knew it I felt a huge claw's around me,I tried to struggle to get free but no use,my whole body was trap in it,then I was lifted up to meet Smaug again,way too close.

"Well then,it seems's I have won the challenge." he said with a very creepy smile.

"Y-yes...yes y-you d-d-did...y-you've w-won." THIS IS IT! This is how I'm going to die! By a fantasy dragon! "Um...is it ok-okay if y-you c-could put me do-AHH!" Right before I say anything else his grips went hard to crush me!

"Hmm...I have thought long and hard,Shadow,I shall keep you alive if you stay with me. However..." then his grips are now nearly crushing my bone's! "If you ever try to leave my mountain,I. Will. Kill you!" he yelled at my face.

"Okay! OKAY! I WON'T I-AHH-PROMISE! PLEASE STOP!" I beg and hope he'll stop. I felt him loosen his grip to at least let me breathe a bit but still won't let me go.

"Good." he said and start to crawl back to the treasure room while I was trap in his claw's. I truly didn't know what to do, I just promised him I won't leave his mountain, I might won't even survive in one night!
