Knock, Knock, Knock!
“Bilbo, it’s me!” I said sheepishly.
“Who’s me?” He asked walking towards the door.
“Saphira!” I said with a smirk! I knew he would know that was me, because as kids when I visited The Shire we played games together to pass the time. One day we decided to go on an “adventure” of our own! He was someone named Bowen, and I was a character named Saphira!
“Scarlet? Is that you?” He said opening the door without any hesitation, and as soon as he saw me he engulfed me in a hug! “Oh Scarlet, it’s been to long since I’ve seen you last!”
“Yes it has been too long Bilbo! Or should I say Bowen!” I smirked.
“Oh shut up you!” He smiled and pushed me a little. “Please come in and have dinner with me!” He said guiding me into his home.
“Are you sure I’m not bothering you?” I asked a little hesitant.
“Of course not! Come now, you can help me!” He chuckled while he beaconed me inside with a warm smile.
“What were you planning on making, before I showed up?”
“Well… I had gotten some fish at the market today, and I thought I would make that!” He said getting the two fish in the brown paper that was sitting on ice.
He put the two fish in a pan and we started to cook together, just like when our parents would cook together when we came over!
“So Scarlet… I know I asked you this a lot when we were kinds, but do you still hate having lots of company around? I know from what you’ve told me way back when and I understand why you said it then, but I’m kind of curious now days about why you act the way you do around other people?” Bilbo asked innocently.
I stopped what I was doing, looking down at the table that I was setting, and took a deep breath with my eyes closed. This was one of the hardest things for me to talk about and Bilbo knew that, but he never really got anything out of me. He deserves the truth now that we are older, and I know how to control myself more than I did back then.
“Bilbo I think its time you know the truth after all these years.” I took a deep breath, and as soon as I was going to tell him there was a knock at the door. “I… I… I’ll get it Bilbo!” I said scampering off to the door before he could protest.
As soon as I opened the door a short, but stocky man stood facing away from the door.
“Hello!” I said as he turned around. ‘He’s a dwarf.’ I thought just as his eyes locked with mine.
“Dwalin at your service.” He replied with a bow. “You must be mistress Baggins!”
“What… no I’m one of his friends! Scarlet Thunderheart at yours!” I smile bending my head down in a slight bow.
