Adventures of The Sad, Broken, and Happy (Hobbit Fan Fiction)

Chapter 14 Pale Orc

Alex

~~~

We stop for camp when nightfalls. Everyone sets up their bed rolls after we all eat soup made by Bombur and Bofur.

What I notice quickly is that everyone has their own little groups. Balin and Dwalin sleep near Thorin, but not too close. Bofur, Bifur, and Bombur sleep near the fire. Fili and Kili sleep under a rock over hang. I naturally gravitate towards Kili with the feeling of needing to protect him.

That's how I end up two feet away from his bed roll under the over hang. Allie gravitates towards a challenge along with Emily and they both climb up a tree. Grace doesn't set up a bed roll she just begins pacing around. We elves don't need very much sleep at all. Gloin and Oin sleep near the fire. Ori, Dori, and Nori sleep together too, a ways from everyone else.

"Grace why aren't turn setting up a bed roll?" Allie asks.

"I don't need to," Grace replies.

"Course you do you're only human," Emily counters.

"No, I'm an elf and so is Alex," Grace corrects and brushes her hair behind her pointed ears.

"YOU'RE ELVES!" Thorin, Emily, Allie, Fili and Kili exclaim all at once. Allie is so surprised she falls out of the tree and onto her side hard on the ground. She groans in pain, but hops to her feet so she can fume at us.

I have a feeling everyone else would have had the same reaction if they were awake.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Allie demands.

"Uh yes, we thought you knew," Grace says simply.

"I mean our hair never tangles, we never have blemishes, our ears are pointy, we are super tall, and our general awesomeness," I explain.

"That's a good point I've always been jealous of you short bleach blonde hair, blue eyes, and height," Emily mutters.

"I thought you were half hobbit, half woman," Allie mutters. ""I've always been jealous of Graces thick brown curls, hazel eyes and the fact she never had blemishes."

"You guys are pretty too. Allie you have blue green eyes and an awesome hair style!" Grace compliments hastily. She's right Allie's hair is super short in the back but gradually gets longer in the front then the two front strands are super long. She likes to have Grace braid them.

"Hell Emily you too, your wavy long black hair and green eyes are just amazing," I add.

"Thanks," Emily and Allie thank while blushing profusely.

"I've never met any other races so you can see where the confusion must have come from," Allie reasons and rubs the back of her neck awkwardly. "I feel foolish now."

"I can't believe my platonic is an elf!" Kili squeaks out and I huff.

"Do you have a problem with elves?" I growl defensively. "Because I really don't think this will work out if you do."

"By this she also means our alliance," Grace elaborates with narrowed eyes at the dwarves.

"No none of the dwarves do," Gandalf cuts in, sending pointed looks in Thorin, Fili and Kili's direction. He values our presence and is respectful of our lethality.

"Oh wait...I remember the story of Erebor. King Thranduil betrayed you," Grace says suddenly and silently sends me a message with her eyes.

"Oh yeah! Well we are from Gre-Mirkwood, but we haven't been back there for at least three hundred years. Last I heard Thranduil abandoned you only sixty years ago," I explain with lies layered on thick. We were back in Greenwood just a few years ago.
