Young Magic (The hobbit love story)

Chapter 4: Traveling

Salacia POV

I woke up, my face was pressed against Fili's chest and Kili had his face in the crook of my neck. I felt my face intensely heat up. I tried to move but...brother like brother...they both tightened their grip. "H-help!" I squeaked. "KILI! FILI! GET OFF OF HER!" I heard Thorin's voice boom. I actually felt bad for asking for help because that scared me. The two dwarves jumped up and panicked. "WERE SORRY!" They yelled then ran right into eachother. I laughed at the scene. I suddenly noticed a hand being held out to me. I looked and saw Bilbo. I took his hand and pulled myself up. "Thank you very much!" I said with a smile. "Oh it's nothing...." Bilbo said, I could spot a slight blush. I pecked his cheek and went off to ready my horse.

"The dwarves seem to like you." Gandalf said with a side smile. I laughed and looked back at them, Thorin was barking orders, Kili running a muck, Fili getting his things together, Bofur smoking his pipe, Bilbo wrestling with his pony to get on. I giggled and turned back to Gandalf, "yeah, their very kind though. Except I was a little surprised at waking up being smothered by dwarves." I said as I mounted my horse. Gandalf did the same and nodded, "well maybe they like you?" He said. I looked at the wizard in surprise only to see him laughed and start to ride. I stayed still shocked only to have Kili and Fili ride up next to me. "What's wrong?" Fili asked. I smiled at the dwarf, "um...nothing!" I said happily before looking back at Thorin who was riding up. "We going?" I asked. Thorin nodded and I smiled. "Cool! I'm gonna catch up with Gandalf, if that's alright with you?" I asked Thorin. He nodded and I quickly rode ahead.

Kili POV

I watched Salacia ride away and sighed. "She's beautiful~" I mumbled. "Aye, she is," Bofur said behind me. I sighed and got onto my pony as well as the rest of them. We all headed on the road, though I couldn't take my eyes off Salacia. She didn't wear her cloak so we could all he her corset like top she had changed into hugging her curves and how her hips moved as she rode. I sighed and grinned. "Mahal Kili, close your mouth, your starting to drool." Balin said beside me. I instantly shut my mouth and didn't say a word. "Don't blame you brother...she's stunning." My brother said riding up beside me. I grinned at him before looking back to her.

Salacia POV

I fiddled with a stone in my hand while my horse followed Gandalf. "What is that my dear girl?" Gandalf asked. I flinched and shoved it back in my bad. "Nothing!" I said nervously laughing. "Hmph, didn't seem like nothing." I looking over to see Bilbo riding beside me. "Uh...how about I show you when we stop for camp?" I asked. Bilbo nodded, "I'll take it. What else do you have in that bag? You seem to pull something new out every time!" He said laughing. I smirked, "well I have a few various healing herbs and plants if you want to see those." I said. He grinned and nodded. Suddenly I have six other dwarves ponies crowding around me trying to see. "This is Zil, it's famous for being able to head poisonous puncture wounds faster than you got them! I got this abundance of life when I was in Lothlórien." I said. "You went to Lothlórien?" Gandalf asked. I nodded, "I stumbled upon it actually, my mistake. I lost my way back to Radagast and they allowed me to take refuge there till morning." I said. "Though...I couldn't help but poke around and get as many magical plants and herbs as my bag could carry!" I said, the dwarves laughed...don't see why, it wasn't really all that humorous. "It would seem you've lived quite the life?" Thorin said coming to my side. I grinned, "oh, the stories I could tell!!!" I said smiling widely. "You should tell us one when we make camp!" Bofur said happily. I giggled and tucked some hair behind my ear. "If you all would like, I don't see why not~!" I said happily. They all spoke in agreement. I then noticed Gandalf had gone ahead, "Salacia! Come here my dear!" He spoke. "Coming!" I said before nudging my horse to a canter to catch up. "What is it?" I asked. "How many healing herbs and stones do you have with you?" He asked. I mumbled non formed words and rummaged through my bag counting the various pouches I had and small boxes. "Twelve herbs, seven stones. I brought the ones I felt where necessary." I said. "What various purposes do the stones hold?" He asked. "I have various burn, cut and cramp stones, an oxygen stone for if one of the dwarves becomes exhausted. Water purification stone... Etc." I said. "Good, very very good." He said grinning at me. "You've grown so much since I last saw you." He said. I smiled, "yes, I've missed you!" I said happily. Gandalf smiled and nodded to be.

As we rode on I somehow convinced myself to give my horse a break and walk. "Why don't you ride?" Dwalin asked me. I looked up at him, "I've grown to feel sympathy for animals who are used as transportation. I'm not against it, but I have sympathy...so I'm giving my horse a break." I said. "Hm...okay." He replied gruffly. I looked on the horizon and saw the sun was beginning to set. "Hey Thorin!" I yelled. "Yes?" He replied from the front. "I know I place we can camp safely that's not to far from here!" I said. "Is it in the right direction?" He asked. "Totally!!!" I said happily. "I say we go to the Wizards camp spot!" Kili said. The dwarves agreed. "Alright, lead the way Salacia." He said. I jumped onto my horse and galloped to the front. "Where is this spot?" Thorin asked me. "Well it's one of the places I used when I was traveling." I said. "Your sure it's safe?" He asked. "Oh yeah, no way in middle earth anyone but me could get in there. I have it hidden with a protection spell." I said. "Is it your spot with the lake you conjured?" Gandalf asked. I nodded. "A lake? Can we use it to bathe?" Gloin asked from the back. "Yeah! You can. The water is really clean and safe." I said smiling. I looked to my right and saw a grin on Thorin's face...and his eyes looking at my body. I leaned over to him. "Thorin..." I whispered, his eyes never moved from my chest. "My eyes are up here." I whispered before clipping my cloak around me covering his view. He shook his head shocked and looked at me with wide eyes. I tried to stifle a laugh but failed. "Come on dwarves!! Follow the leader!" I sang before my horse went to a gallop with the dwarves following closely behind, Bilbo beside me and Gandalf on the other side.

Thorin PoV

My pony stood still as I watched the rest of the company go forward. "Hm~ got caught did we Uncle?" Kili said smirking. I glared at him before nudging my horse to run, as well as Fili and Kili. "You would be wise to keep your mouth shut your mouth." I growled. "Whoaaaaa we will tell our mom!" Fili laughed, obviously joking. I grinned, "you think I'm afraid of your mother?" I asked raising an eyebrow. "...have you seen her when her child was child was injured? Especially by her own brother?" Fili asked. My eyes widened, "hm...I suppose your right. She rammed me into a wall once when I tried to take her chicken when she wasn't looking." I said. They laughed loudly. "Over There!!!" We heard Salacia yell as her pony hook a left into a forest. "Follow the woman, aye?" Fili asked. I nodded as we followed the company into the forest.
