Gandalf knocked on the door.
'Go away. You'll see later on tonight,' said an angry voice from
inside.
'Not even an old friend and your nephew?' asked Gandalf.
'Gandalf?' said the voice a lot softer. A hobbit opened the door,
letting Gandalf and Frodo in. Kiara snuck in covered by Gandalf's cloak.
'Gandalf my dear old friend,' Bilbo said and hugged him,' Tea. You
must want tea.'
'Old must be a key word there. For both of them,' thought Kiara.
'Yes, tea would be nice,' said Gandalf.
'Ohhhhh! Tea,' she whispered with excitement.
'Did you heard something?' asked Bilbo. Gandalf shook his head.
'Oops,' she thought.
Kiara loved to drink tea. It was delicious. She wanted some but
wanted to remain a secret, and she had almost given herself away.
'Uncle Bilbo,' Frodo said,' I'm going to go back outside.'
Frodo left shutting the door behind him.
Gandalf went into the kitchen and Kiara tiptoed behind. She hid under
the table. Bilbo set a cup of tea on the table in front of Gandalf.
Gandalf turned to face Bilbo.
'You are going to go on your adventure and leave Frodo, am I
correct?' asked Gandalf. He reached for his cup only to discover it wasn't
there. He began to look around.
'Yes, I am,' Bilbo replied,' What are you looking for?'
'You gave me tea right?' asked Gandalf.
'Yes I set it on the table right....' Bilbo gasped. He looked in the
spot where he had put it. 'Now that's strange, Bilbo the said,' I remember
putting it right there. No bother.' He went back to the stove and poured
another glass. When they looked back on a table an empty glass was there.
Gandalf shook his head and hushed Bilbo. He quickly reached under the
table. After a squeak, Gandalf pulled up Kiara by the neck. She had extra
skin on the top and she dangled. The ring came out.
'So you still have it,' said Gandalf.
'The ring,' Bilbo said staring at it with wide eyes,' May I use it
tonight for a disappearing act.'
Kiara looked at Gandalf for approval. She didn't know why but she
completely trusted him.
'I do not see why not,' said Gandalf,' But you must give it back at
the end of the night or she will hunt you down.'
Kiara lifted the necklace off her neck and gave it to Bilbo.
'I do want it back. My mommy gave it to me. It's my last memory of
her.'
'I promise I will,' said Bilbo.
Kiara ran through the grass outside as Gandalf and Bilbo talked inside. She hunted butterflies, pounced on lizards, and jumped out and surprised hobbits. Everything a young foxix would learn in the wild. How to hunt and defend themselves. The surprised hobbits were not happy with her. Kiara hid in the tall grass outside Bag End. She heard two hobbits coming. When they got close enough she jumped out and surprised them. The two hobbits screamed and ran into Bag End. Kiara jumped into to the grass to hide and laughed till she cried.
'Uncle, Uncle Bilbo!' cried Frodo. 'Yes, Frodo. What happened?' said Bilbo. 'This...this thing!' said the other hobbit. 'Calm down SamWise Gamgee and explain,' said Gandalf. 'This wolf...' started Frodo. 'Yes a wolf,' cried SamWise,' It had sharp fangs and tried to eat us.' 'It jumped out of the tall grass and tried to kill us,' said Frodo. 'There have been no wolves around here since the white wolves came over the Brandywine when it froze over,' said Bilbo. Gandalf laughed,' A wolf? Do you really think that was a wolf? Well, yes, it was my wolf. She has surprised you along, with half the hobbits in Hobbiton. They have been yelling at her and us all day long. Come we will surprise her. She doesn't listen well.' The three hobbits and Gandalf walked outside. Gandalf chose a small fireworks from the cart and snuck over to the tall grass. The three hobbits stood quietly on the porch. Gandalf aimed the firework just above the grass height, lit it, and snuck away to stand on the porch with the hobbits. The firework exploded. Out of the grass flew a white streak. The streak stopped and the hobbits could see a figure of a wolf snarling on the other side of the lane. Gandalf laughed and called to the wolf,' Come over here.' The wolf looked up, trotted over and stopped in front of Gandalf. The wolf was covered in mud and grass, and her hair was matted. 'It's Kiara,' said Frodo with a sigh of relief. 'Who?' asked SamWise. 'Kiara,' said Gandalf. 'I remember some one by that name,' said SamWise. 'How do you do?' asked the wolf-like creature. 'What are you?' asked SamWise. 'I'm a foxix,' said Kiara. 'I thought those were myths and legends now. That they were all extinct,' said SamWise. 'All except me,' smiled the young foxix. 'Come along now my wolf. You are filthy and need a bath. The party starts in one hour,' said Gandalf. 'I have but one more question. Who are you?' she asked the new hobbit. 'I am SamWise Gamgee but you can call me Sam, I guess,' said the uneasy hobbit. He didn't exactly trust her. 'Come along, let's hose you off,' said Gandalf, and he started walking away. 'What about a bathtub?' asked Kiara as she followed. 'I suppose you could use one of those,' said Gandalf. 'Suppose?' asked Kiara as she entered the house. Gandalf shut the door before an answer was heard.
