I do not own HOBBIT. I only own my OC.
Easton POV
Finally!The company has camped for the night near the edge of a cliff. As Gloin sleeps, tiny flying insects get sucked into his mouth every time he inhales, and they are expelled when he exhales. Bilbo and I watched in disgust, Bilbo then finally gets up and walks around. Most of the dwarves are asleep; Gandalf, Fili, and Kili are awake. Bilbo walks over to his pony and gives her an apple, after checking to see that no one is looking. Bad luck though, but I was hardly paying any attention.
Bilbo hears a strange noise in the night air and becomes worried. He runs over to Fili and Kili. Which I was also there. Cuddling up to the boys. Mostly Fili even if he was smoking his pipe. I had my head on his shoulder and my arms around his waist. He had one arm around me protectively. I was about to fall asleep."What was that?" Bilbo asked. Only me barely hearing since I was so close to falling asleep. I opened my eyes waiting for a response.
"Orcs." Kili said, Thorin who was dozing, jerks awake upon hearing the word "Orcs." I shut my eyes, again close to falling asleep. "Orcs?" Bilbo asked. Yes, Bilbo. orcs. Evil and Horrid peices of Shit. Disgusting and ugly. That's was what they are. Heartless souled bitch. "Throat-cutters. There'll be dozens of them out there. The lowlands are crawling with them." Fili said in a serious tone. "They strike in the wee small hours, when everyone's asleep. Quick and quiet; no screams, just lots of blood." Kili said with,for once, a serious tone.
Bilbo must have looked frightened. Fili and Kili look at each other, I could feel Fili's neck movement, and begin laughing. I hit Fili on the chest and Kicked Kili. Meaning to shut up for two things. One, so I can fall asleep and Two, Orc raid is not funny. "You think that's funny? You think a night raid by orcs is a joke?" Thorin asked harshly. This time I'm on team Thorin. "We didn't mean anything by it." Kili said with a bit of pain, since I kicked him a bit too hard.
"No, you didn't. You know nothing of the world." Thorin walks off to the edge of the cliff and looks out over the valley. I could hear his footsteps fade into the distance. "Don't mind him, laddie. Thorin has more cause than most to hate orcs. After the dragon took the Lonely Mountain, King Thror tried to reclaim the ancient dwarf kingdom of Moria. But our enemy had got there first." Balin said. Wait... I thought he was asleep.
"Moria had been taken by legions of Orcs lead by the most vile of all their race: Azog, the Defiler. The giant Gundobad Orc had sworn to wipe out the line of Durin. He began by beheading the King." Balin started to tell a story. One by on I see a dwarf up and listening. By see, I sense because I literally want my sleep. Here. "Thrain, Thorin's father, was driven mad by grief. He went missing, taken prisoner or killed, we did not know. We were leaderless. Defeat and death were upon us." Balin said.
Man, this story is actually Good. It's putting me to sleep. Please note that was sarcasm. This story is great. But heard it so many time.."That is when I saw him: a young dwarf prince facing down the Pale Orc." Balin said. "He stood alone against this terrible foe, his armor rent, wielding nothing by an oaken branch as a shield" Balin carried on with his story. "Azog, the Defiler, learned that day that the line of Durin would not be so easily broken." Of course It wouldn't until the end of the story, the battle of five armies.
"Our forces rallied and drove the orcs back. Our enemy had been defeated. But there was no feast, nor song, that night, for our dead were beyond the count of grief. We few had survived." Balin carried on. Seriously this story isn't finished? "And I thought to myself then, there is one who I could follow. There is one I could call King." I opened my eyes and yawn. I see Thorin glaring at the view. I turn to see the company awake. And was listening.
"But the pale orc? What happened to him?" Bilbo asked. "He slunk back into the hole whence he came. That filth died of his wounds long ago." Thorin sneered. I lifted my head up from Fili shoulder. "I thought you were asleep, lass!" Dwalin said. "I wish I was. But these idiots couldn't keep their mouth shut." I glared at them. I lean back on the rock behind us. "You kick pretty hard for a lady." Kili said. "Punch hard too." Fili said. "Seriously? You shouldn't kick that hard." Dori said. I growled. Thorin and the rest nodded. "Give me one reason not to strangle you." I said. "Because we need all of these to reclaim the mountain." Gandalf said.
I sighed. "You guys are sexist." I muttered. "What did ye say lass?" Oin asked. "Maybe can not tell us the truth." Dwalin said as everyone laughed. Soon he was on the floor with a blade on his neck. "Do not underestimate me, Mister Dwalin. I am more than a pretty little girl." I snarled. He tried to push me off. "Think what you say, or next time sleep with one eye opened." I said warning all the others. I took my place back between the boys.
"This is what you get for getting interruption in my sleep." I hissed at the boys. "Wow, never knew you could be..." Fili started. "Chose your words carefully." I said with my eyes closes, I started to drift off. "Strong?" He asked. "Believe it or not. Many girls in my world are strong, most of them are suicidal." I said as I drifted into a nice slumber...
