Chapter 2
Sorry I haven't updated, I have been flogged in soccer and assessment tasks -_- nearly on holiday. Keep Rockin'!
The dwarves all looked at them with a mixture of awe and suspicion. Ebba's eyes roamed their faces, taking in the different details. She laughed out loud, at Thorin, who was staring openly at Caitlin, causing them all to look at her. Ebba smiled at them sheepishly and Ella muffled her laughter into her hand.
"What is an oracle?" asked Ori, earning a push from, Dori. Ebba just smiled at him, he was so cute.
"Oracles, are women who can see the future and they only have the chance to change it. We do this by giving hints and altering experiences," Caitlin explained. Thorin, nodded as if he had decided something. Gandalf, looked at us with a accusing expression, Ebba widened her eyes at him. Gandalf, stayed quiet, winking at them.
"You shall continue with us then," Thorin spoke, his voice was soft, but had an edge to it. The "oracles" all nodded, sending each other suggestive winks. We explored the troll cave, and introduced themselves to everyone. Though, they all had their preferences; Ella liked, Kili, Nori, Dori, Oin and Gloin. Caitlin liked, Thorin, Dwalin, Balin, Nori, and Bombur. And, Ebba liked, Fili, Bofur, Bilbo and Ori.
Caitlin P.O.V
"So, how did you find out you were an oracle?" asked Thorin, with nothing but wonder in his tone.
"Well, it wasn't hard to figure out, I saw a kingdom burning and people fleeing the village they were living in. Unfortunately, I was in a meeting and... well, when you are an oracle, you feel the victims pain. I was screaming. So, I was banished from my village." Caitlin smiled softly as she spoke. Thorin took her hand in his, she looked into his eyes and smiled. He had such lovely eyes, clear, crystal blue.
"You are not alone now," Thorin smiled at her and kissed her hand. His eyes never leaving hers.
"I'm sorry what you have had to go through, Thorin," Caitlin exclaimed sympathetically. He smiled down at her.
"I will reclaim it. You will have a home then, If you want that..." Thorin stuttered.
"I would be proud and honored to live in Erebor, Thorin," Caitlin smiled, her eyes sparkling with joy. Thorin picked up a sword, covered in cobwebs, he pulled it out of the sheath and scowled at the elvish markings. Gandalf had been silently watching him with the sword, and grumbled at his reaction.
"You could not wish for a finer sword, Throin," Gandalf exclaimed in aggravation. Thorin sheathed the sword and hooked it to his belt. The company all walked out of the cave merrily. Ebba and Ella were laughing with Fili and Kili, when they saw Caitlin and Thorin walking out of the cave. Both girls, watched in eager anticipation.
Dear Caitlin, had the knack to fall or trip in the most hilarious way. Both girls were praying she would trip to amuse them. They, got their wish as they saw the root up ahead of her and Thorin. Caitlin was not paying attention. Ella gave Ebba a cheeky grin and started to count down.
"Five, Four, Three Two, One... time for a trip, Skinny," Ella smirked as Caitlin tripped head first over the root. Ebba and Ella started to giggle and were soon joined by Kili and Fili. The girls went in to full forced hysterics when Caitlin sent them a hating look. They were literally rolling on the floor laughing their heads off as Throin helped her up. Fili and Kili helped up the laughing girls, and Caitlin walked over to them. They smiled innocently.
"Enjoy the trip, Skinny?" Ebba laughed as Caitlin glared at her.
"Why do you call Caitlin, Skinny?" asked Fili, playfully. Ebba and Ella laughed.
"Because, she has not meat on her bones," Ella laughed as Thorin came over. They all looked at Caitlin and she looked down at the ground. Ebba smiled and nudged Ella, who nudged her back.
"Fili, Kili lets go walk ahead," Ebba suggested. They all walked off grinning at each other. Ebba glanced back and saw Thorin standing with his back to us. She nudged Ella and they did the, Ultimate Wingman sign behind his back. Caitlin smiled at them. They both changed the 'W' into a heart when Thorin turned to face them.
Their happy moods were interrupted by something fast moving through the forest. Ebba looked at the other girls with an over excited expression on her face. She loved Radagast the Brown, they all loved him. The thicket suddenly parted and there he was, the Middle Earth Santa and his eight over grown rabbits. Ebba, Caitlin and Ella all laughed as Gandalf took the caterpillar off Radagast's tongue. When they went to converse about the morgul blade and stuff, Ebba turned to the other girls.
"I want him," she stated, the other girls laughed at her antics. "No! I seriously want him!" Ebba proclaimed. Fili looked disturbed, and Ebba looked at him with a tired expression.
"Not like that, Fili darling," she shook her head, rolling her eyes. They all laughed at Fili's relieved expression. They were all then shaken from their merriness by a wargs loud, strong howl. Ebba, Ella and Caitlin looked at each other in realization.
"Oh Gods, please help us," Ella proclaimed.
