Bella Baggins (hobbit fanfic)

Clever Halfing

Bellas POV

Half the company was tied to a spit and turned over the fire. While the other half including me where stuffed into sacks and thrown in a pile. I was frantic I had to find a way to get t us out of this mess. While the trolls argued I caught one sentence one helpful sentence.

"We don't have much time left till dawn and I don't fancy being turned to stone" the leader troll said. That's when it hit me. I could bargain for time. So if rolled over and used a rock to boost myself up.

"Wait wait you are making a huge mistake" I yelled hopping forward.

"You can't reason with them their half wits" Bofur shouted.

"Half wits what does that make us" Dwalin asked.

"No no I mean with the uh seasoning" I pointed out.

"Shut up" the stupid troll said.

"Let the flurbuglrahobbit talk" the one of medium intelligenc said.

"Why would we need seasoning" the leader asked.

"Well have you smelt them your going to need something a lot more stronger than seasoning to plate this lot up" I said.

"Well what's the secret to cooking dwarf then"  the one with medium intelligence said.

"The secret to cooking dwarf is............" I trailed off trying to think.

"Well come on" the stupid one said.

"Yeah talk" the leader said.

"Wait a second......Oh I know the secret to cooking dwarf is.....TO SKIN THEM FIRST" I exclaimed. The dwarves immediately started threatening me and screaming. I let out an exasperated sigh.

"Nonsense I've had plenty with their skins off nothing wrong with a little raw dwarf"  the stupid one says and picks Bombur up.

"NO NOT THAT ONE" I screeched making the troll freeze. "He's infected he has worms in his um tubes" I explained. The troll immediately dropped Bombur. "In fact they all have parasites" I added.

"I don't have parasites you have parasites" Oin yelled. I sighed can't they see what I'm trying to do. I sent the dwarves a desperate look. Thorin suddenly seemed to get it and kicked Kili hard.

"I've got parasites as big as my arms" Oin shouted.

"My parasites are the biggest I got the biggest parasites" Kili exclaimed loudly. I wanted to laugh at their foolishness.

"Well what do you say we do then" the leader troll asked.

"Let them go" the stupid troll said.

"Well that's wouldnt be a bad idea" I shrugged.

"This ferret is taking us for fools" the medium intelligence one said and shoved me. I nearly fell over.

"Ferret" I spat offended.

"THE DAWN WILL TAKE YOU ALL" Gandalf split open a rock and the sun shone through. The trolls slowly turned to stone it was really weird. I've never seen anything like it. I started in shock for a minute but turned in time to see the dwarves smiling and cheering. Even Thorin looked happy and maybe a little proud of me.

"Good job Bella" Gandalf patted me not be shoulder and untied my sack. Interested and maybe feeling playfully I started climbing on the stone trolls. I laughed merrily. Even though I'm grown I still act like a child.

"Bella come on" Thorin demanded. I quickly hopped down and followed the other dwarves.

"Look for a troll cave there should be one close" Thorin  announced. I quickly joined the search straying a ways from the dwarves. The stench first told me it was a troll cave.

"I FOUND IT" I signalled the others. Thorin sent me a small thankful nod. For some reason the smile from easier when we got free of the trolls and this nod made me a warm feeling swell in my chest. Thorin Gandalf Nori Goin and Bifur ventured into the cave while the rest of us stayed outside of it.

"Bella here" Gandalf handed me a sword.

"I can't accept this" I tried to hand it back.

"Its of elvish make which means it will glow blue when goblins or orcs are nearby" Gandalf pushed it back.

"I've never used a sword in my life" I reasoned.

"I hope you never have to but if you do remember true courage is not knowing when to take a life but when to spare on" Gandalf told me. I nodded and took the sword.

"Somethings coming" Kili yelled and we all took up arms.
