Hugo.
A/n. Woo. Writer's block has disappeared on this! YAY! (
Kalina sat on the bank of the river, watching the water flow by and noting how the sun reflected of it. Sighing, she smiled slightly, letting her fingers trail through the water. She loved getting up really early; Hobbiton was always really quiet and peaceful. With Nora not bothering her about suitors and Rosa babbling happily on about nothing, or Tomo shrieking in her ear. Or her admirers stalking her, she really shouldn't have followed Frodo.
Hobbiton looked beautiful in the autumn. The wood ahead of her, the one that the river ran out of and her favourite place was contained in it, it's trees' leaves were all colours, some still faintly green, others golden yellow, chestnut red, deep brown. she couldn't ever remember it being this beautiful in her lifetime though. The sky was covered in swirls of pink, purple, deep grey, white, pale grey and orange clouds. The river was reflecting the colours of the clouds, that were being to fade now with the sun appearing, was bubbling away happily and the grass and plants were green and healthy.
Suddenly a twig snapped loudly, causing Kalina to look around her in alarm, and seeing nothing, she relaxed slightly, thinking it had just been a deer. This explanation proved wrong, as she almost screamed when someone grabbed her shoulder.
"What did you did that for?" Kalina gasped, realising it was only Hugo, who'd released her now.
"Good morning to you to!" Hugo said cheerfully, sitting down close to her. Too close for her comfort. "I just wanted to scare you." There was this gleam in his eyes, one Kalina couldn't figure what it meant, but she still didn't relax.
"That's a weird reason," she replied.
"I know," he winked roguishly. "Bet you don't get scared often love!"
"My name is Kalina," she answered tightly. "Call me Kalina and no other name."
"Alright Kalina," he emphasised her name. "You still haven't greeted me yet."
"Good morning Hugo," Kalina said forcefully, yet politely, she had manners. "I hope you are in good health."
"I'm afraid I'm not," he sighed. "You see, I-I feel weird, my heart's fluttering and I think I'm suffering from high blood pressure." He moved closer to her.
"I hope you return to good health soon then," Kalina returned good mannerly, but this still didn't calm her heart from beating so fast, and a fear screaming loudly inside her head, and it was only as she was frozen that prevented her from running as far away as Hugo as possible. She felt threatened, not safe at all.
"I can't Kalina," he emphasised her name again, his dark almost-black eyes looking into hers. She stared at the ground. "You're the cause and you're right beside me."
He was now so close; she could feel his breath on her neck.
"I've got to go now," she stood up abruptly. "I promised my mother I'd be back by now."
"Come on then," Hugo stood as well, and reached for her hand and grasped it. Kalina looked at him, and tried to free her hand but his grip was too tight.
"Let go of my hand," she ordered, her voice sounding confident, but she was shaking like a leaf.
"Why?" Hugo turned to her. "I love you and you love me, we're walking out and soon the whole of Hobbiton will know." He grinned, only this was an evil grin.
"We are not walking out and I do not love you!" Kalina cried, panic rising in her, as she still struggled to free her hand from his.
"Are you sure about that?" he asked. "I've got the love, the name and the money, nothing else matters. I'll grow on you Kalina. Believe me, and when the family starts to come you'll be the happiest hobbit that ever lived. Don't lie to me, you know you want me as much as I want you." She could feel his breath on her neck again. "And I'm sorry for startling you Kalina, but I've got a desire I must fulfil." he leaned closer to her, and Kalina ducked her head, struggling more than ever to free herself.
"LET GO OF ME!" She screamed, finally losing her patience as her panic level was really high, and she kneed him where it hurt most (if you happen to be a male.) Hugo groaned in pain, and only loosened his grip slightly, so she kneed him ago much, much harder and this time he collapsed on the ground, still clutching her hand, but very weakly. She freed herself, and instantly started running as fast as she could down the hill, tears leaking out her eyes, leaving Hugo without a thought, except she must get away from him.
"KALINA!" she heard a voice yell, but she kept running, thinking he was following her, but when the owner of the voice grabbed her arm, Kalina fleetingly turned around, and breathed in relief as she realised it wasn't Hugo.
"What's the matter?" Rosa asked, and then seeing the panic in her eyes, put her arm around Kalina, and led her firmly to the Brandybuck's hole. "My family's out," she told Kalina as she neared the door. "Mother, father, Merry and my two younger brothers and sisters are at Pippin's, and July's at Huck's -her boyfriend."
Having reached the door, Rosa turned the handle and opened it, as Kalina caught a glimpse of a dark haired hobbit who was walking with a little discomfort, dashed inside and hid trembling out of sight from the windows.
"Sit," Rosa forced Kalina to sit around the kitchen table, as she expertly shoved a pan onto the oven, poured milk into it and hastily got out two cups and cocoa powder, before sitting herself down, opposite Kalina.
"This is the part you tell me what happened," Rosa said pointedly, her red hair tumbling over her face. "Oh, and we've got baby Fred here, up in the bedroom but he's sleeping like a baby which is appropriate and he won't wake up for a long time yet."
"I got up early this morning and I went up to the river up there," Kalina pointed through the window, as Rosa nodded. "And I heard this twig break, but no one was there and then Hugo grabbed my shoulder and then sat really close to me. H-he said things about not feeling well because he beside me, and then he got even closer to me and when I said I had to go, he grabbed my hand and said that we were walking out and it didn't matter if I didn't love him, and I'd be really happy when the family started coming and-" she was talking really fast, but Rosa could make out perfectly what she was saying, and the expression on her face was pained. "And he wouldn't let go of my hand, and he was going to kiss me, if I hadn't kicked him in his.you know," she blushed slightly, "and that's when you found me."
Rosa had giggled slightly at the part when Kalina hurt Hugo, but had been sitting with a worried expression on her face for the rest of the tale.
"Git," she spat. "Never liked the idiot anyway. Kalina, you're not to go anywhere without anyone for a few weeks, agreed?"
Kalina nodded wordlessly.
"Until he's got his act together," Rosa looked disgusting. "As well as when I sort him out. And I'm going sort him good don't worry." She had this fierce look on her face, the one she had when anyone had done anything to her friends. "And apart from that Kali, you're going to forget the whole thing ever happened. I know it'll be hard-" she added, catching Kalina's expression, "but if you forget it, then you're not going to afraid of him. Plus, by trying to let it slip your mind, you're going to be above him, whenever you need to talk to him, be well mannered and polite."
Kalina nodded in agreement.
"And the forgetting thing starts in a few hours," Rosa got up as she checked the milk, to see it was boiling, and poured it into the two cups that had some cocoa chucked in them, and placed one in front of Kalina. "And if he tried anything like that again, yell for me, or knee him again, that always works." She grinned devilishly. "And why are we talking about this stupid git?"
Kalina shrugged, warming her hands by placing them around the cup.
"You know Tom?" Rosa asked pointlessly.
Kalina looked at her. "Rosa, I know he's your boyfriend you idiot!"
Rosa didn't retort as she usually did, she was looking dreamy. "I know you know. Just though you'd probably like to know that last night we kissed."
"You did?" Kalina gasped, Hugo instantly flying from her mind. Rosa nodded shyly.
"Congratulations!" Kalina cried, moving to the other side of the table and hugging her best friend, who was still blushing and still looking dreamy. Kalina laughed suddenly.
"What?" Rosa looked slightly confused.
"I was just remembering something." Kalina giggled. "Of all our firsts.you know!" Rosa was still looking confused. "When you had your first period!" Kalina cracked up.
"Oh that!" Rosa laughed. "Oh that was so embarrassing!"
"It was your fault! You ran round the whole of Hobbiton yelling it for everyone to hear!" Kalina was still laughing.
"I know! That was so stupid of me! I still can't believe I did that! Everyone was teasing me for YEARS!" She looked embarrassed, before laughing herself. "And when you-you." she faded off as she was laughing too much.
"Oh no!" Kalina remembered. "Not that. not that.I was young!" she started protesting. "I was nervous and I was shy and I didn't want to ask where the toilet was."
"Shut up! Don't say anything else or I'll need to go to the toilet myself from laughing too much!" Rosa choked. "And that time when YOU tricked the Evils (a/n the group of hobbits that insulted Kalina, and also got landed in "cow manure") into the river that-"
"YES!" Rosa was still laughing. "And when you-"
A/n. Typical. Spent ages removing Elijah from my head and trying to think of how to write this and it came out much different than I ever planned! Longest chapter though! I haven't written over four pages for AGES! (think -two years ago! Yeah, exactly!) Omg, I can't wait to write the next few though! Review please! And thanks for reviewing!
