Your Unexpected Journey

Not afraid of the dragon

Everybody was pleased over the food they've been eating and was now sitting here and there in Bilbos living room.
Thorin was near the fire smoking his pipe, his feet on the firescreen.
Gandalf was showing off letting his smoke rings become rabbits and deers jumping through Thorins smoke rings.

" we have been gathering here today to establish a plan on how to go on with our quest to reclaim our homeland...it will be a long journey and its not shure that we all will survive it, some of us may never return home..." when Thorin said his last words his eyes fell on Bilbo.

" I don't think I liked that last thing with never returning home..." you mumbled.
"Don't you worry little rabbit, the dragon has been sleeping for years". Bofur said to you.
For some reason you sat beside him again, or he sat beside you? You were not really shure. He seemed to be at your side most of the time. Was it Thorin that told him to keep an eye on you?

"What dragon?" Bilbo said breathing out his words heavily.
"That would be Smaug the terrible , he could melt you down to a wetspot on the ground with just his firebreath".
Bilbo became pale and you tried your best to make Bofur stop talking about the whole dragon thing. You pulled his shirt but he just went on and on until Bilbo with a little gasp fainted.
"What was it you wanted little rabbit?" Bofur said to you.
"Did you not see how pale he was...and besides its y/n and not..."
"And not little rabbit." Bofur smiled "But to me you are a little rabbit Y/n."
You just sigh and let yourself go away in your own mind for a while hearing the voices of the dwarfes but not paying attention...you knew what was said anyway.

Vaguely you heard Gandalf come back with Bilbo. Gandalf going on with Bilbos great-great-grandfathers- uncle Bandobras Took who was a large hobbit who could ride a horse.
Thorin didn't want Bilbo on the quest, Gandalf persuaded him...

"Its just mazy and unpleasent to know whats gonna be said and happend" you meditated to yourself.
Massaged your forehead.

"How are you? Having a headache?"
You opened your eyes and there stood Fili and Kili who of them asked you the question you did not know.
"Im just tired"
"Do you wanna see the map, your from the neighbourhood...we mean Laketown..." Kili asked.
"Well I guess I'm not member enough to look at the map" you answered sarcastic.
The brothers smiled and took you by your arms and sat you down between them by the table in the livingroom.

Thorin talked about the day the dragon came to Erebor, burning The city och Dale...and then that a dragon flies out in the night trying to find young maidens to eat." When he said that his iceblue eyes looked into you eyes.
"Takes more than a dragon to scare me" you thought.
"Please mr Oakenshield, don't stop telling stories about dragons  for mysake, I dont fear dragons" you said giving him a little smile.
Thorin snorted and continued...
But when Azogs name came up you flinched and Fili and Kili could feel that.
"So you dont fear dragons but Azog" Fili whispered close to your ear.
"Everybody fears orcs". You whispered back.
"True" Fili nodded.

"Now we all need a good night sleep. We take a steady breakfast early tomorrow and then be off."

You got up and went back to the little couch you've been sitting in with Bofur and curled up as a little ball and closed your eyes.
Someone came and put a blanket over you. You didn't know who but expected it would be Bofur.
You falled a sleep to the sound of the dwarfs humming the song you so well knew...
