Bilbo's Surprise (Hobbit Oneshot)

Bilbo's Companion...

The Shire's rumor of Bilbo and his pet started as soon as Bilbo found her as a pup. She looked like a normal dog pup, like most young wargs do. But Bilbo picked her up and brought her inside anyway. She was a young pup though, her eyes barely open.

After a few weeks of being in Bilbo's care, she was able to walk around his little hole in the ground. During that time, he named her Lavender (mainly because he left for less than five minutes once, coming back to see her chewing on the poor plant).

She soon grew too large to stay in his little hole in the ground, so he'd kept her in his yard. She soon grew out of that too.

The rest of the people of the Shire did not want her to be roaming the streets, so Bilbo took her to the forest bordering Bree.

Lavender learned to come when Bilbo whistled a special tune for her, she loved it when he came to visit her. They didn't do much though, but that didn't matter.

The two were close for years after he'd removed her from the Shire. No hobbit went into her little thicket of woods, they knew she was a warg. They knew what wargs did, even if she wasn't like those wargs.

Her and Bilbo's quiet days came to an abrupt halt when a certain wizard showed up to poor Bilbo's house.

I lifted my head when I heard the whistle, perking up my ears and looking in the direction it came from before I took off running.

Bilbo wanted to see me! He didn't come see me all the time but I loved it when he did.

I leapt to my paws, leaving my rabbit in favor of running to Bilbo. I crashed through the trees and jumped over logs, scaring deer, squirrels, and the like.

I also scared the group of people Bilbo was with. They had weapons, which they unsheathed.

Bilbo had a huge grin on his face, "I will not be riding a pony, I will be riding my beloved Lavender," he announced, grabbing onto the straps of his pack.

"You have a bloody warg?!" One of the members of the group said, he had a funny hat.

I bumped my head on Bilbo's chest with a chuff.

"Yes, yes I do," Bilbo stated proudly, patting me on the head.

"How the hell did you get a warg?" A bald man with tattoos questioned.

"I found her, in the forest bordering Bree," he answered, giving my shoulder a tap.

I laid down, allowing Bilbo to climb onto back. I stood up, I missed our rides.

Gandalf smiled, "I told you our Burglar was full of surprises,".

I barked at him. "Yes, it is good to see you again too Lavender," he responded.

"You can talk to animals?!" A young redhead exclaimed.

Gandalf only laughed.
