Happy moments

I forgot to say in the previous two chapters. That picture on the right -------->
is Yue :3 Erica's Inner spirit that is light. Whoopsie....carry on....:D

"How the hell do you keep winning?" Dwalin asked in disbelief. So far Erica had won five games in a row and won some of the boys possessions. Fili's favourite dagger some gold coins, a gem necklace, Bofurs hat which she was wearing and somehow Dwalins axe to which he wasn't so happy with.

Erica smiled innocently "I've had my fair share in experience with poker" she said. Bofurs hat fell over her eyes making the men chuckle as she shifted it up with a blush.

She decided to pull out and go and see what else was going on, or possibly have a bath. She stood up stretching and put Bofurs hat back on his head "I don't want the stuff guys, I just wanted to annoy you" she said sweetly. Fili and Kili looked at her in disbelief and stood "you made me almost think I lost my favourite dagger forever!" Fili roared playfully. Erica eeped and ran with the brothers chasing after her

She twisted and dodged skillfully, sliding under the table and out, surprising Gandalf who laughed joyfully at the nephews game of chase.

"Jeez when did she get slick!?" Fili growled in disbelief. Erica giggled and jumped from beam to beam, avoiding the two Durin brothers

"Get er Kili get er!" Ori cheered

"Faster Erica!" Bombur laughed. Erica swung down from a beam and flipped over Kili and Filis heads and landed swiftly on her feet. Before they moved she smirked and sped up to them, freezing their feet in their place.

"Gah!" Fili cried, struggling to get loose

"Soooo not fair" Kili grunted.

Erica giggled and slipped down the halls and into a spare room. She noticed her bag on the bed so this must be her room. She sighed and flopped onto the bed, facing the ceiling. A few bumble bees buzzed above making her smile.

The warm sun on her face made her sleepy but she really really wanted a bath so she sat up and grabbed her bag, going in search of Beron. She finally found him in the kitchen " um Beron, is there any chance of me getting a bath?" She asked politely.

"Of course! But I'm afraid it will take a while to heat the water" he said.

"Oh I can take a cold one. I am ice remember. The cold never bothered me" she said smiling. Beron laughed and filled two large buckets with cold water and carried them to a washroom that had a large bathtub sitting in the middle of the room. He filled them up and pointed towards the scented oils then left her be.

She sighed and stripped down, stepping into the tub, hissing as she felt the coldness relax her tense body. She felt her scars from her previous battle sting a bit from the bath salts but she bared her teeth and cleaned herself up with a pine and jasmine scented oil.

"Found you!" Kili yelled bursting in the room with Fili behind. Erica screeched and threw a bar of soap at them "get out!" She screamed covering herself, her long hair getting tangled around the taps.

"Oh dear Mahal w-we are so sorry!" Fili yelped blushing while Kili stood with his mouth open.

"Well don't just stand there get out!" Erica yelled again. A pair of hands grabbed them by the scruff of their necks "you two out! I'll deal with you later" Thorin growled, flinging them out. He covered his eyes "Erica are you alright?" He asked in concern.

She let out a sigh "Yeah I just got a scare...but I'm stuck..." Erica mumbled

"Your stuck?" He questioned.

"Umm yeah um my hairs caught around the faucet...can , can you help me?" She asked timidly.

"But your umm..." He said awkwardly.
