The Hobbit

Chapter 8

"Isabelle wake up" the sound of Bofur's voice stole me from my dreams, I slowly opened my eyes, the sunlight blinding me "Morning" I yawned "Morning" He smiled warmly. I began to sat up but there was something that was blocking me from doing so I looked down to find Kili's arm draped around my waist, I moved his arm then sat up and stretched out my arms, Kili shocked by the movement also sat up and sent a smirk my way, "Had a good sleep 'ey Kili?" Dwalin asked and winked at the both of us and started laughing along with the others making me blush mildly. After we ate we packed up and continued off on the journey. At first the sky was blue without a single cloud in sight and the sun was shining bright but later on the grey clouds rolled out above us, it started raining hard. Hard enough where the dwarves were forced to pull their hoods over their heads unfortunately I didn't have a hood so I was forced to put up with the rain drilling holes into the top of my head, "Isabelle wait!" Kili shouted while trying to catch up to me. I turned around to see what the big fuss was about. Once he had realized that I had stopped he hopped off his horse onto the ground splashing mud everywhere. When he had reached me he took off his coat and held it towards me "Why?" I asked "Well I uh we don't want you to get sick" He stuttered then smiled "Okay uh thanks" I took it and then pulled the hood over my head. Kili got back onto his horse and rode off ahead with the others "You didn't hear this from me but he likes you" Fili whispered as he rode up behind me " Who?" I asked when I clearly knew who he was talking about "Oh no one just a certain brother of mine" He replied "Really?"I asked him in all seriousness, he nodded. I smiled as he rode off, I turned around to see who was behind me. Gandalf was there with Bilbo and a few others "Mr. Gandalf! can't you do something about this deluge?" Dori cried from behind me. I slowed down to be with Gandalf "It is raining master dwarf and it will continue to rain until the rain is done" Gandalf answered "If you wish to change the weather of the world you should find yourself another wizard" He added "Are there any" Bilbo asked "Other wizards" He clarified "There are five of us" He paused " Saruman the white, two others" he paused once again then looked at me "uh who I can't quite remember the names of ah then there's Radagast the brown" Gandalf continued "And is he a great wizard or is he" Bilbo stopped "Like you?" I started laughing "Uh he is a great wizard in his own way" he mumbled. I agreed with Gandalf, out of all of the three times that I had met Radagast I had realized that he was a tiny bit weird. I took the first opportunity that I could to talk to Kili about what had happened the previous night, "Kili" I whispered as I pulled him away from the group, "Oh Isabelle, I have to speak to you about something that happened last night" Kili replied shocking me. "Did you happen to hear the others conversation last night?" He asked me, I smiled at the coincidence "Yes that's what I was going to talk to you about" I chuckled. "Okay well I have a plan" He stated "We have to act romantic around each other but then we don't actually do anything. This way they think we will but then they'll be annoyed when we don't" He explained, I stood there looking at him blankly. "What?" I asked, he rolled his eyes "Just follow my lead" He sighed
