Hello guys! I updated sooner than usually. Thank you for reviews, special thanks to Kelwtim2spar. Thanks for the advice. I hope that now it will be easier to read. I must say that I am hopeless at making paragraphs. Please review and leave comments. I really appreciate them, they are the things that keep me going. Hobbit belongs to Tolkien, but Anna to me. Enjoy!
Chapter five:
"WHAT!" they screamed in union "How can it be that lass like you in such young age is living alone here?" Balin exhaled surprised. "Oh Balin it's normal and remember I am of race of MEN , if you don't see it" I answered and continued my cooking "But you didn't answer the question" Gandalf said (Thank you) . I let out a sigh and stopped pealing (I suppose they will be here for long time) "In this world it is normal that males and feamales of my age start to live by themselves."
"But why are you here alone and you said that here and that you have no one who can save you?" Ori inquired oh sweet Ori "I am sorry, but I am not ready to speak about it" I answered tears started to dwell on my eyes(I hope they will not push it) "We understand lass" Balin (you big good diplomat I love you) I suppose he heard my tearful voice. His line silenced others "You can explain when you will be ready" he finished. "Thank you" I said relaxing and continued my cooking. There was small silence but then "The fish is great you must teach me how to cook it" exclaimed Bilbo awkwardly. "Sure" I smiled and I started to tell different ways how to cook fish and other stuff everyone was interested we had fun. Soon soup would be ready…
"But lass is that outfit that you are wearing is a little bit too much" Balin suggested "Hmm" I looked down (SHIT! for them I look outrageous….Damn) ''I AM SO SORRY! I will change immediately" I almost screamed. Before they could stop me I ran to my room, with red face. I found my dark blue dress with small yellow flowers. Everything was covered - shoulders, belly, legs till the knees, but I had a medium neckline so my cross could be seen. I returned to the kitchen Nervously I asked "Is this better, I am so sorry about earlier outfit, it was working clothes." "It is beautiful dress, don't worry we were just worried about you and that outfit was confusing for us" Balin said. (Right distraction for dwarfs, and incredible embarrassment for me…. SHIIIT! what is Thorin thinking about me…..DAMN Anna stop your fangirl). "I am sorry" I let out sigh went to continue the soup. "Anna as Balin said it's fine and don't think about that anymore." Gandalf smiled. "Okey….The soup is ready let's tell others" I said still felling guilty.
Thorins pov
So we ended up outside eating fish ( I must admit this is the best fish I had in looong time). "So how do you like our host" Dwalin sat beside me and asked while devouring his fish. "She is different from other humans I had met." I answered "That's right, after Gandalf explained everything she didn't banish us away." Gloin said and joined us in at our spot ''well I can say that she is excellent cook'' Bombur exclaimed ''YOU say it because you like food but I must admit this is damn tasty'' Bofur commented. 'And she is pretty too'' Said Kili (I will agree she is kind a pretty….wait what?) "Especially the chest bondage and those shaved legs hehe…..OWWW!" said Nori before he was smacked to the head by the Dori "Show some respect!" "But it's not my fallout that she is dresses like that!" Nori exclaimed (I remembered her outfit, and body…..those legs and…!) but I was shaken to reality by Bifur ''But she looks so sad and lonely'' in kuzdul, thank Mahala I returned to my senses. "Yes that's true I saw that too" said Fili I wonder why she is alone here.
When we all finished our fishes we laid on ground enjoyed the sun. I started observe our surroundings a lot of gardens and trees but what caught my attention was big pine tree. "Why are here so many trees and flowers I thought only hobbits liked gardening" asked Kili. I wanted to answer but was interrupted ''Food is ready!'' Our host screamed so all of us (I suppose I will ask that later from our host) we started to move inside, but we were stopped by her outfit she has changed to flowery dress it looks good on her (Why…! I get these thoughts) She smiled and exclaimed ''wait let's eat outside weather is nice '' looking at the sun and smiling (That strange eating outside just like the elves, but I must admit the weather is nice and simple smile from our host is worth it.) so we ended up eating outside, whether is really nice as our host…..no Anna.
Anna's Pov
Everyone started to devour food, looked that they liked the soup after all. Then Bifur stopped eating and looked at me "What does it tastes bad?" I asked him He answered in kuzdul (yes I know dwarf language and I am really big nerd.) "No it is delicious why you are not eating?" Bofur wanted to start translate, but I answered before he could start. "I am not hungry" I simply answered…..long silence astonished faces of company then "WAIT you understand Bifur?" Kili almost screamed.
(CRAP! What to do I forgot that dwarves didn't like it when others know their language, I suppose I will have to get them drunk, but they drink so much…I don't want to feel like Bilbo on the first night , T-T ) ''YOU see it is hard to say umm how can I explain. I had a book about dwarves'' I answered uncertainly "A Book?" Thorin deadpanned "I got it like present for Birthday. There was some dwarf legends also some simple phrases and alphabet so I learned to understand what is said but not to speak" I said.
Thorin looked unconvinced (Looks like he wants to rip my head off). He wanted to ask more but was stopped by Gandalf ''for birthday? When it is exactly?'' (bless your kind soul GANDALF you are AWESOME) "Umm my birthday is in 15th august that means after two months." I answered with smile , looks dwarfs were more interested into conversation about my birthday than my kuzdul knowing . I started to feel uncomfortable, because it means I would need to speak about my family. Balin sensed "Lass we are quite tired could you show us were we could sleep you see we didn't sleep all night." ''Of course leave the dishes I will wash everything myself'' I suggested 'we can help you ''Fili and Kili screamed excitedly ''NO, thank you'' (no washing song for me). They started to protest but Gandalf stopped them ''Anna could you show me were library is, after you show them beds'' ''Of course''.
Some dwarfs I stuffed in summer house (Like guest summer rooms outside), others in the house on the second floor. Then I showed Gandalf house library gave all books and prepared couch for sleeping. (OHHH I haven't told you my house is really big that includes first floor – corridor, kitchen, big living room, library I Have really big library umm… imagine library from Disney Beauty and the Beast well not that big maybe quarter of that one. So second floor family rooms … sorry I mean guest rooms, my bedroom, my game room ad office . And outside I have summer house with two rooms, sauna, two greenhouses, garage, firewood shed, sorry, sorry , sorry I have drifted from the theme.)
Then I went to get dirty dishes. When I started to gather them I let out sigh "Hmm like old times huh , I missed this". I missed those times when I was cooking for someone else than myself. I was holding glass when I heard a voice "What do you mean by just like the old time" I was startled by the speaker behind me I almost dropped the glass but caught it. Letting out relieved sigh I turned to the speaker. AND guess who was the speaker of course it was Thorin (King Majestic!) "God! Thorin don't scare me like that, I almost had a heart attack" I made it sound like a pout. "Well if I scared you, I apologise." He said and even bowed a little ''Oh that's fine , no need to apologise'' I smiled "Good, But you still didn't answer my question" He came a little bit closer.
I started to feel blush so I quickly turned around and continued washing dishes. ''What!? did I say something it was just some stuff, I like to speak to myself'' I said nervously I don't want to speak about this "Miss Sheppard, why you are avoiding the question?" He persisted. I sighed then turned to his direction, "I don't want to speak about it, and Master Thorin please call me Anna or you want me to continue call you Master Thorin? " there was silence a little bit then looked that Thorin was considering my sentence then smiled and said "As you wish. Goodnight Anna" and bowed. I was left in the kitchen (OMG! Thorin let go of the question and he is CALLED me ANNA! OMG,OMG!) OK now I have to finish dishes and go to sleep I have to get up early tomorrow.
