I do not own HOBBIT. I only own my OC.
Easton POV
"There's another way in!" Kili said. What is up with dwarves stating the obvious? Please say it is only dwarves that stats the obvious. If I found out there was another creature doing the same thing. I'll punch them seriously. "If we can find it. Dwarf doors are invisible when closed. The answer lies hidden somewhere in this map and I do not have the skill to find it. But there are others in Middle-earth who can. The task I have in mind will require a great deal of stealth, and no small amount of courage. But, if we are careful and clever, I believe that it can be done." Gandalf explained. I don't know how I am staying awake. I can hardly do that during class.
"That's why we need a burglar." Ori said."And a good one, too. An expert, I'd imagine." Bilbo said. "And are you?" Gloin asked. Yeah he is. He will bloody find a ring that can make you invisible. Which makes everything so much easier. I wish I had one. And why do I always get out of topic? "Am I what?" Bilbo asked. I groaned as Fili and Kili patted my back. I shot them a look saying 'not helping.' They only chuckled. "He said he's an expert! Hey hey!" Oin said jumping to conclusion. I groaned even more. Not only they state the obvious, they jump into conclusion as well.
"Me? No, no, no. I'm not a burglar; I've never stolen a thing in my life." Bilbo interject. Well mate, you're about to steal stuff."I'm afraid I have to agree with Mr. Baggins. He's hardly burglar material." Balin was the wise one of the group, no doubt. Bilbo nod in agreement. "Aye, the wild is no place for gentlefolk who can neither fight nor fend for themselves." Dwalin spoke. I eyed Dwalin before turn to Bilbo. Dwalin is like my Uncle I heard in my dad's stories.
Bilbo continues nodding in agreement; the dwarves begin arguing. Gandalf, growing angry, rises to his full height and casts darkness over the group as starts speaking in his "powerful" voice. The others stop in awe."Enough! If I say Bilbo Baggins is a burglar, then a burglar he is." Gandalf shouted. Which made me flinched my Fili hand his hand on my hand. Which calm me a bit. Gandalf goes back to his normal self. Good...
"Hobbits are remarkably light on their feet. In fact, they can pass unseen by most if they choose. And while the dragon is accustomed to the smell of dwarf, the scent of hobbit is all but unknown to him, which gives us a distinct advantage. You asked me to find the fourteenth member of this company, and I have chosen Mr. Baggins. There's a lot more to him than appearances suggest, and he's got a great deal more to offer than any of you know, including himself. You must trust me on this." Gandalf explained.
"Very well. We'll do it your way. Give him the contract." Thorin said. "Alright, we're off!" Bofur said as Bilbo begins objecting to Thorin and Gandalf, but they ignore him. Balin hands Bilbo a long contract. "It's just the usual summary of out-of-pocket expenses, time required, remuneration, funeral arrangements, so forth." Balin said. Oh God. Not good for Bilbo. "Funeral arrangements?" Bilbo asked. Well did he fucking stutter? I think not.
As Bilbo steps back a few feet to read the contract, Thorin leans toward Gandalf and whispers to him. I knew what he said. It's in the book and movie. Bilbo reads parts of the contract out loud."'Cash on delivery, up to but not exceeding one fourteenth of total profit, if any.' Hmm. Seems fair. 'The present company shall not be liable for injuries inflicted by or sustained as a consequence thereof including but not limited to lacerations ... evisceration … incineration?" He said shocked. Well more than shocked more like frighten out of his dear life.
I stopped myself laughing at Bilbo's reaction. And I didn't want to be rude. "I feel a bit faint." Bilbo said. "Think furnace with wings." I am so going to like Bofur. "Air, I need air."Bilbo stated. Maybe You need air but this is far more entertaining. "Flash of light, searing pain, then Poof! you're nothing more than a pile of ash." I giggled. Fili looked at me. I shrugged as he turn his attention back to Bilbo.
Bilbo breathes heavily, trying to compose himself as the others stare at him. "No." Bilbo said before fainting."You're very helpful, Bofur." Bofur grinned at the Wizard as Gandalf carried him, Bilbo, out. Thorin stared at me. "How about you East?" I stared back at the company, who was waiting for my answer. "Thorin, you already know that answer." He chuckled. "Even if it involves with a Dragon?" Dwalin asked concern. I shrugged. "Even if it involves with a dragon. Plus I've never seen a dragon. They don't exist in my world." I said.
The dwarves all looked shocked. "Where ye from, lass?" Bombur asked. "London, England." They looked at me funny. I groaned. "Thorin you explained. I'm going to get myself tea. Or something." I said standing up. I looked through the pantry and saw a bit of ale left. I sighed and got some. Damn hobbit! Do they have nothing else to drink. I walked back to the dining room but stopped my Gandalf. "Easton dear. May you get tea for Bilbo?" I nodded. I started to make tea.
But how? They have no kettle to boil water. I groan in frustration as i Just made it. I don't know how I coped. It took 10 bloody minutes and usually I would be 3 minutes to make tea.I handed it to Bilbo who has awoken. He sips on the tea. "This is really good. Thanks Easton." I smiled. That's the nice and Polite hobbit I read and watched. I stroll back in the dining room and saw everyone staring at me. "Thorin what you say?" I growled at him. "He told us that you don't have family!" Nori said. "He also said you fell from the sky! Are you alright?" Oin asked. "What's earth like?" Bombur asked. "I don't have family. I am an orphan since I was ten. Yes, I am alright from the fall. Thanks for asking. Thorin didn't asked."
I smiled at the dwarves. I sat down back between Kili and Fili. "Well, Earth. Is in the middle. The good thing about it is that we have the right of freedom. Ladies like me is allowed to vote, join the army and marry the same gender in certain places. We have Nothing to worry about only little problems. But here's the down side. We have wars. Wars that has been going for months. We have discrimination. Which most people do. People judge people on what race. Like colour, height, Weight, we have sexist people. People who judge the other gender. They think that other gender in unneeded. Stupid. And well a lot of things." I explained.
Shock faces all around the room. "So if we visit, people will judge us?" Bofur asked since his cousin, Bifur asked him. "Yes. Do not be offended. It is a natural thing to do." I said. "Has anyone judge you?" Kili asked. I nodded. "Oh yes. They judge me on my height. Because I am short. Just by looking at me, they'll think your weak and precious." I said. "But they are wrong." Fili smiled. A really cute smile. "Who are they?" Dori asked. "I dunno? Strangers, friend and family. Everyone judge you." I said.
"Wait, you said wars go on for months but how?" Dwalin asked. I shrugged. "I don't know, never joined the army. But people are ignorant to listen. And BAM! War stars to rage. There was once a War that the whole world took part in. They call it world war I and II. Both around the same era. But World War II was more horrifying. We do not like to mention it. That war raged on about four years or something." I said. "Four years?" Nori asked in shock. I shrugged.
"Long time ago. Before I was born hell I wasn't even born in World War II or I. Anyway, long time ago. There was a one hundred years war." I spoke. Not remember who was it against. "How do you keep fighting?" Ori asked. "Actually, we fight very differently to you now. And during the World war I and II. But the one hundred year one. The soldiers sons and nephews join to fight, then their sons and nephew fight. And it goes on. I don't know who won. But it Took one hundred years to settle it." I explained. "How do you know to fight?" Gloin asked. "Did you join the army?' Kili asked forgetting I said before I didn't.
I shook my head. "No, I didn't join the army. I went to a combat and fighting centre since I was 13 years old. My mentor mentors me for free. He was a good friend of my fathers. I learnt how to defend myself. And everyday, when I have the time,I train." I shrugged. "I'm pretty handy what ever comes in my hand really." I said. As the company grinned at me.
Soon after all of dwarves gather in Bilbo's living room, smoking their pipes by the fire. Which I highly found disgusting, I don't like smoking. Do they smoke where everthey go. Thorin was smoking on the way to Bag End. ...They all begin humming, and soon Thorin begins to sing, and the others join him.
"Far over the Misty Mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day
To find our long-forgotten gold
The pines were roaring on the height
"The winds were moaning in the night
The fire was red, it flaming spread
The trees like torches blazed with light"
Everyone started to move around the house to sleep. I turn to Thorin. "Pa. Do you think he'll be coming?" I asked. Yes The company knows the little incident about the Pa thing. "I think he will. But many disagree." I sighed. "Night Pa." I hugged him as I lied down near the fire. Someone laid on my Right. I turn and saw Fili. Next to him Kili, who seemingly fell asleep quickly like most of the dwarves. Fili looked at me. I shifted closer to him as I put my left hand on his right side of his chest as I put my right hand on his left side of his chest. I lean my head on his shoulder. As he kiss my forehead. I slowly fell asleep to the sound of cracking fire and his heart beat.
