ROSEMARY

a couple days had passed since my first night away from home, i had gotten to know many of these dwarfs over the time we've had together so far, there good hearted souls who just want there home back, and i'm glad i get to be apart of taking the mountain back.

the one dwarf i didn't have the pleasure of knowing was kili, what i knew about him was very little, when we stop for a night he practices his aim on his bow, flexing his muscles, ugh no let's not think about that, shooting make be targets, he smiled and laughed with every other member of the company apart from me, which was rather confusing, i had done nothing out of the ordinary.

he must've felt my eyes on him as he turned his head back and locked eyes with me, we had found somewhere to sleep for the night, yet again not very comfortable and i didn't have high hopes of getting much sleep, kili was doing his nightly "target practice" maybe i should do some target practice, him being the target, i laughed to myself at my own stupid joke.

everyone seemed down tonight, it was unusual for the dwarfs to not be laughing and making jokes, i decided to cheer them up in my own weird way, i started humming a song, everyone turning to me, eyes full of wonder, "flowers in my hair make me wish that you were here" i started singing. getting up and getting fili up to dance around the small fire with me.
"i had a dream of a boy who love me, and we danced under leaves of an orange tree" i continued.
"maybe one day, i'll end up in a place where i'm not afraid and the sun never sleeps, no say goodbyes" i picked up the pace of the song, dancing around the fire, everyone smiling, i even glanced over to kili to see him smiling at us.

(flowers in my hair- wes reeve)

we danced and i sang, everyone's moods slowly turning happier, once i finsihed my song, fili was out of breath, and bofur took over, singing a dwarf tale.
i sat down watching the dwarfs all sing and dance with some soup, fili and kili had disappeared, bilbo filled two bowls of soup up and went to go find them, while everyone else sat by the fire.

about 30 minutes later, fili and kili come running back, terror sum looks on there faces, i didn't see bilbo, worry washing over me, now in hand, chucking my quiver over my shoulder, i ran up to them "where's bilbo, he went looking for yous" fili looked at me with an apologetic look.

that was it, i ran off into the woods, the direction that they came in, i heard the dwarfs slowly following, hearing noises up ahead, i grabbed an arrow out of my quiver, placing it ready to shoot in my bow, i turned a corner to see bilbo in the hands of a troll, a big grey troll, with 2 other trolls next to him, i readied my bow and shot at the troll holding bilbo, he fell, bilbo was on the ground, i readied another arrow in my bow, ready to continue shooting, when all the dwarfs ran in screaming behind me, swords in hand, we fought as hard as we could, arrows flying, swords clattering. until a troll picked me up, nearly snapping me completely in half, "a girl, tasty she'll be"
bofur and ori in the hands of another troll, i couldn't move, my arms clung to my body, looking down with fear in my eyes i see kilis bow snapped in half, staring up at me with worry, his mouth slightly hanging open, maybe he didn't dislike me, or maybe he didn't want the death of a hobbit girl on there hands.

half of the company was tied up in a little brown bag, the other half stripped to there undergarments tided to a pole and being spun above a fire. they didn't search my boots, if i could squirm enough i could get my knifes. it so happened that i was placed next to kili.
"rosemary stop squirming, you won't get out, accept ur fate" i rolled my eyes at his easy defeat, my cousin bilbo got up, and started speaking with the trolls, distracting them for me. i kept trying and trying but i couldn't reach my knifes. kili started shouting about how he didn't have parasites, elbowing me in the process.

"do u mind not elbowing me dwarf" i looked at him, giving him a death stare in the process, he just elbowed me again, prick.
gandalf climbed a rock and broke it with his staff, turning the trolls into stone, once i was out of my little brown sack, i scrambled looking for my bow, and my quiver, finding it discarded on the ground next to the horses that they stole from us.

everyone gathered there stuff, setting on and leaving the trolls behind us, as we walked away, i sensed kilis presence rather closer than usual. i shrugged it off, he was probably jealous i still had a bow and he didn't. we walked for another day's journey, finding somewhere to sleep since none of us got any sleep the night before. setting all my stuff down and getting comfortable, fili came and sat next to me, claiming the free spot next to me for the night.
