Young Magic (The hobbit love story)

Chapter 14: Home sweet home

((Lol a badass like Salacia needs a badass house, agreed?)) BTW: I changed what Gila looks like, look back in chapter 12; the picture is different. Now she's just an adorable mini fox.

Salacia POV

My heart pounded as I wondered who behind me had grabbed my hand. I sighed in relief when I looked behind me to see it was Bofur who had grabbed my hand. I grinned at him and squeezed his. "I'm glad ta see your alright lass." He said. I smiled and hugged the funny hatted dwarf. "Thanks Bofur~" I said happily. "Well, we should get a move on." Thorin said. I let go of Bofur's hand but walked beside him as we all made our way down the Carrock. "Salacia!" I heard Thorin yell. "Yeah?" I asked. "Do you have any camp spots near here?" He asked. I looked at our surroundings and nodded. "Actually I think my house is near here." I said. "You have a house?!?!" The dwarves all asked. I looked at them confused. "Did you all think I was homeless or something?!?!" I asked. "Well..." Some of them said. I rolled my eyes, "damn. Thanks. Yes! I have a house!" I said. "Well, lead on." Thorin said. I nodded and made my way to the front, dragging Bofur with me. We made our way to the bottom and I had to stop and look at my map. I conjured a map of water of middle earth and looked at it. "Whoa..." The dwarves gathered around. "What are the little dots?" Bilbo asked. "Oh! Those are all the hiding places I have like the one I showed you guys before." I said. "You have over eightysix hiding spots?" Fili asked. I nodded and pointed to the largest dot. "That's my house, aaannnddd it appears to be that way!" I said pointing to my left, almost poking Nori in the eyes. "Oops, sorry!" I laughed nervously. I then began strolling in the direction of my beloved home. "How long has it ben since you've been home?" Bofur asked. "Uh, eh, thirty years?" I said. "T-that's a really long time to be away from home...how do you manage?" Bilbo asked. "Well, I mean I kinda have a lot of places I could easily call home, this place just holds the title. It also has a lot of stuff from my other adventures." I said. "Won't it be dusty and dirty from not being cared for for so long?" Dwalin asked. "Nope~ I put an enchantment on it to stay clean so that if I ever go there I don't have to spend forever and a year cleaning." I said with a grin. "You use magic for a lot of things." Bilbo said. I shrugged. Suddenly he sneezed and began franticly looking for a cloth. I grinned and wiped a handkerchief out of nowhere. "Is that a bad thing?" I asked with a grin offering it to me. He laughed and took it from me. "No, not at all." He said. I laughed and shook my head, "it's kinda just...I have it...so why not?" I asked. "That's reasonable." Thorin said. I nodded agreeing.

We walked for what felt like hours until we finally saw my home in the distance. "Is...is that it?!" Bilbo asked. I smiled proudly as we approached my well put together, large home perched on surrounding trees. "Wow Lass, this is quite a house!" Balin said. I grinned at him, "thanks~ made it my self." I said as we walked down the stone path and I pushed open the gate, quickly shooting light into the lanterns beside me. "Make sure you close the gate." I said as I walked up my bridge to my front door. I searched my bag for my keys...and found something else. "Agh!!!!" I screamed. "What?!?! What is it?!?!?" The dwarves yelled. I glared at my bag. "Gila!!!!" I yelled pulling her out of my bag. "What is that?!?!??" Thorin yelled backing up along with the others. I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose. "This is Gila. A friend of mine." I said. "Hello!!" She said jumping up onto my shoulder. "Uh...hi?" Kili said. "She's harmless. Don't worry, let's just get inside. It's cold out here." I said getting my key out of my bag. I unlocked the door and snapped my fingers, lighting up the house, it was a lot bigger than it looked outside. "There's food in the kitchen, you all can bath, I'll figure out the sleeping arrangements, please don't break anything, any mess you make clean it up." I said. They all instantly spread out to explore my home. I walked to top level in my house to my bedroom. I sauntered to my bed and tossed my bad aside. "What are you doing here?!" I growled picking Gila up and setting her on the bed. "W-well...I wanted to come with you!" She said. I groaned and shook my head, "no! You can't! It's took dangerous!" I said. She rolled her eyes, "who do you sound like?" She asked. "Oh don't you dare. I can defend myself if i get separated from them. You can't!" I said. She said nothing and looked aside. I sighed and picked her up, hugging her close gently. "Gila I just don't want you to get hurt!" I said. "Please bring me with you..." She said quietly. I sighed, "I will think about it...absolutely no promises of saying yes whatsoever." I said. She smiled and jumped up and down on the bed. "Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!!!" She cheered. I rolled my eyes and ruffled the fur on her head. "Yeah yeah. I'm an angel." I said as I went into the bathroom. I pulled my dirty clothes off. I hung all my clothes up and put a cleaning enchantment on them. "well, they should be clean by morning." I said to myself. I ran water into the tub and got in. "Oh mahal~ after having to bath in freezing lakes, hot water feels like heaven." I said to myself sinking down into the water. "Salacia!!" I heard Fili call from downstairs. I sighed and sat up, "yeah?" I yelled. "Where are your cups???" He yelled. "Uh...I think their in the cabinet next to the back door! I think!" I said. "You don't know?? Isn't this your house?" He asked. "Yeah! My house I'm never at!" I laughed. "Oh...well I guess that would make sense then. Thanks!" He yelled. I grinned and shook my head before dunking my hair into the water. I came back up and began scrubbing my thick long hair. I massaged my hair and head deeply making sure it was clean. I rinsed my hair and washed my body. After I finished I wrapped a towel around my body. I drained the tub and walked into my room, Gila was asleep on my bed. I walked to my closet and went to get clothes out. I set them on my bed and dropped my towel so I could get dressed. "Hey las- AHHHH!!!!!" I dropped to the floor and screamed covering myself. I looked up angrily and see Dwalin covering his eyes. "What do you want?!!??" I screamed. "I-I don't remember what I needed!!!!" He yelled. "What's wrong?!?! What happened??" Thorin, Bofur and Balin yelled running in. I screamed and pulled my towel back on quickly wrapping myself. They all blushed, covering their eyes. "Salacia! Why are you naked in here??" Thorin yelled. "Wh-what?! THIS IS MY HOUSE!!" I yelled. They all didn't know what to say and I growled in "Damnit all of you!!!! Get out!!!!!" I scream. "A-aye! I'm s-so sorry!!!!" Dwalin said franticly, they all tried to leave but ran into the door and each other before running out of the room. I suddenly heard snickering and saw Gila laughing. "Piss off Gila! It's not funny!!" I snapped locking my door before pulling on loose soft shorts and a tank top. I sighed and braided my damp hair into a simple braid over my shoulder. I had learned how to do an easy one since I practiced so much.
