Bilbo's P.O.V.
I was shaking from head to toe as Killigreth and I fell to our knees in front of the beautiful woman in front of us. "Mother." we said in unison.
"Bilbo, my dear, you have been gone so long. why haven't you been near you Mother?" she asked in a cool voice.
I flinched. "Forgive me, Mother. I was busy. I am sorry, Mother." I pleaded, looking down. in my mind, I was freaking out. 'Please don't let her notice the Dwarves...Please don't let her notice the Dwarves...please don't let her notice the Dwarves...'
"Oh, i forgive you, my dear, precious robin." she said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Glancing up, her smile faded. "What are these Dwarves doing here?"
Before Thorin could step up, I had to open my big mouth, for his sake.
"They're with me. I am helping them to get to the Lonely Mountain to reclaim their homeland. I'm their hired help." I explained, glancing up at her.
"Why would you bring them into my castle?" she asked, her voice cold as ice.
"Because they are important to me and I would rather stick a stake through my heart than allow any harm come to them, even from you." I spat out, glaring up at her.
Then she hit me. She hit me so hard that I went flying into the stone wall.
"Bilbo!" Kili called, worried. I could taste blood on my tongue and a wetness on my cheek. I had a felling I was cut very badly, if the amount of blood dripping from my face was any indication.
"You ungrateful brat! I could have killed you along with you parents! Instead, I kept you at my side as my son, and this is how you repay me? By disobedience?! Get out of my sight!"
Thorin looked ready to charge, but I got to my feet and bowed to her. "As you wish, Mother." and with that, I led the Dwarves out as quickly as I could.
-Hey, guys, sorry that I haven't written for a while. I hope you like this chapter and I will try to get the next one up soon. Love you all!
