I am loyalty (Thorin / OC )

Chapater 21 : abomination

Adrianna POV

We file into the cave , placing out bedrolls and finding places to sleep.

Gloin dropped a bundle of wood on the floor in the middle of the cave and rubbed his hands.

"Alright then! Let's get a fire started." Gloin says , smiling.

I freeze up as I walk thought the cave entrance , a fire could draw unwanted attention. I was about to object , but Thorin spoke first.

"No fires, not in this place. Get some sleep. We start at first light." Thorin says , not bothering to unravel his bedroll.

"We were to wait in the mountains until Gandalf joined us. That was the plan." I say , speaking up and looking around in slight panic and unease.

"Plans change. Bofur, take the first watch." Thorin says softly , looking back at me.

Most of the company is asleep , and resting in the dark cave. I found myself beside Thorin once again , but his warmth was comforting. I was currently binding my hands. I had cleaned my head wound after I made sure Thorin was asleep. It was painfull , prying out the small stones imbedded in my flesh but it had to be done. If I had left them , they would had started an infection which is never nice. I froze for a second as I hear a warg howl in the distance.

'No' I scold myself 'there are now Orcs here , you are just becoming paranoid'

I finished wrapping my hands and just sat there , staring into space.

I had my cloak pulled close around me with my hood pulled up. I blended in with my dark surroundings , if any where to look over to Thorin they would not see me.

Bofur was still on watch ; he too was unseen to the untrained eye.

I glanced over to his hidden form and smiled , I liked bofur , he was a nice friend.

I saw some movement out of the corner of my eye.

I snapped my eyes to the movement and froze. Bain stood by bilbo who was packing his things and rolling up his bedroll.

Bain stood , arms crossed as he frowned at bilbo then looked at me as if to say ' get a load of this guy!'

Bilbo stood , grabbing his pack and walking stick then he started to leave the cave , tiptoeing over the sleeping dwarves.

I frowned as Bain followed behind his , dancing and leaping over the unconscious dwarves playfully . I was beginning to get used to Bain presence , as he had been following us ever since we left Rivendell.

Bofur , seeing bilbo trying to leave , jumped up to stop him. They whispered so not to wake the others , but my ears easily pick up their convocation. I felt slowly stronger , and I didn't feel like I would drop dead any moment now.

"Where do you think you're going?" Bofur asked , frowning.

"Back to Rivendell." Bilbo sighs. At his words , I stand , still unnoticed.

"No, no, you can't turn back now, you're part of the Company. You're one of us." Bofur said , placing a hand on bilbos shoulder.

" He's right you know. Your one of us , your our friend" I whisper from behind them both. They both whip round , shocked.

"I'm not though, am I? Thorin said I should never have come, and he was right. I'm not a Took, I'm a Baggins, I don't know what I was thinking. I should never have run out my door." Bilbo snapped , raising his voice slightly.

"You're homesick; I understand." Bofur said smiling at bilbo.

"Yes bilbo , you're home sick. I know what it's like to yearn for home. We all understand , I understand." I whisper soothingly.
