How did I get here? A New Hobbits Tale By: ScienceExperiment5150
Disclaimer: As much as I would love and I mean love to own Tho...Bofu…erm... The Hobbit, I do not, nor do I own any of its characters. This is just based off of what I saw in The Hobbit Trailer directed by P.J.! So the Dwarfs look like they did in the oh so amazing movie, not old like in the cartoon!
Also there is a Time Line I am going to be using. I am posting the link to it on my profile since I don't want to keep putting spaces between almost every other letter

Chapter One: Through the Fair
"Auntie Mya! Come on! The tournament is about to start!" Unable to stop her smile Mya ran after the child to the jousting ring. "Hold on little one!" With a quick move Mya had the little girl up in her arms, then on her shoulders. "There now you can have the best view on all the land my little Princess!" Claire giggled with glee from her 'aunts' shoulders.
Mya's best friend Meg had let her take her daughter to a Renaissance Fair for the day and the little sweetheart was having the time her life. Mya loved to spoil her niece as much as possible. This little angel was the closest she'd ever have to a real niece.
Little Claire loved watching all the games that were held at the fairs. But this was by far her favorite. Personally, Mya's favorite part of the fair was watching the men in the forges. The fires, while they took her family from her, were hypnotic. On her shoulders Claire giggles and clapped as the men charged at each other. If it was one thing Mya couldn't understand it was that little girl's love of this particular game.
It was fairly violent, but then again who was she to judge.

"Auntie Mya?" Claire tugged on her aunt's hand. Next to her Mya knelt, "What is it sweetie?"
"I'm tired… can you carry me?" Smiling Mya picked up the little girl, letting her tuck her head against her shoulder. "Do you want to go home my sweet?" Claire told her no, but Mya just shook her head and pulled her phone from her side pack. She let Meg know that they would be heading out in less than 30 minutes to get home.
"Alright, just take your time getting here, you know my little girl will sleep like a rock once she's in the car." Mya agreed completely, said her good-byes to her friend, and hung up. "Ok little miss, we are going home soon. Is there anything you want to see before we leave?" the five year old just shook her head and tucked her hand up against her aunts chest to take hold of Mya's collar in her small hand.
Humming softly Mya rubbed Claire's back, kissing her hair. "Let's go home then."
:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:
"Just a minute!" Meg's voice came calling from the back of her small home. Mya just smiled shaking her head when Meg opened the door, her black hair covered in bits of grass and her clothes were grass stained. "Out gardening I see my dear sweet sister?" teased Mya. "Oh laugher it up Mya, some of us have to work at keeping our gardens well kept. Curse you and your overly green thumb!"
At that comment Mya just stuck her tongue out at Meg who ushered her in and lead her to Claire's room. The little girl in Mya's arms didn't even move when the two women worked on getting her out of her dress and into a nightgown. "She is tired. She was running around all morning."
"I'd expect nothing less form my little girl. She takes after her father you know…" Meg's husband was still at work, and Mya knew she couldn't wait for him to get home before she left. "Well, it's time for me to go. I'll see you guys in a month." Meg pulled her friend into a tight hug. "You be careful."
"You know I always am Megan. I'll miss you, all of you." With one last tight hug Meg led her friend to the door and waved her off.
"Please be careful Mya Rose…" Megan couldn't help but feel something would happen to her friend while on her trip. Megan remembered her friend when they were young. A time before harm had touched her or her family.
:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:
Meg, then age 19, while Mya was 18, was waiting at the bus stop for Mya to come as get her. A blue ford pulled up and Meg looked crossly at its driver. "You're late."
"I am never late! I arrived just when I wanted to I'll have you know! Now get in, or we will be late you silly goose!" Meg got into her friends truck and off they went. It was the second time Meg would stay over at Mya's house, but it would also be the last.
Mya, while she didn't come from what would be call an overly rich family, she was from a well off family. Meg was the same since they came from the same neighborhood. "So what do you want to do first tonight my dear?"
"Hm… how about helping you mom make dinner? Then we go out from ice cream?" suggested Meg. Mya looked at her grinning, "Well I think that will be just fine!" whenever it came to the words Ice and cream in the same sentence, Mya was more than willing to agree. It was one of her favorite things after all!
:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:
"Ok, you girls be safe. Mya, just remember to be quite, you father is sleeping and I'm going to take a nap on the couch till you get back." Mya's mother kissed both girls on the forehead before sending them on their way.
"See you in a bit Mamma! Love you!" Rose smiled at her daughter, "And I love you my flower. Be safe, both of you!" giggling both girls ran to the blue truck and took off.
:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:
They rocked out to music until they reached the small ice cream parlor. "Hello girls!" said the owner, a smile on his face, "Hi Mr. Adams!" they said in unison, which set them off laughing. "Same as usual?"
"Yes please! But this is to go." Nodding the man sent to the back of the store, then came back with two pints of ice cream, one was Rocky Road and the other was Bubble Gum. "Thanks!" they paid for the yummy treats.
"See you next time girls!" they waved to the owner and then were out the door. On the drive home Megan noticed smoke in the distance and two fire engines flying by them. "Hm… that's not good…" Mya looked behind the truck before pulling back out onto the road and going home.
"Mya… go faster…" Meg's soft voice came from the passenger seat, "Why?"
Meg just pointed. There was only one house up on the hill. Hers.
Mya floored it.
:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:
"NO!" Mya thrashed around in one of the firefighters arms, trying to get out of his grip. "Let me go! Momma! Papa!" by the truck Meg was crying silently. "Miss I'm sorry…" Mya didn't stop screaming, not until her voice went out. She never forgot the man who did that to her family. Nor did she ever forgive him for what he had done.
In less than 30 minutes, Mya's whole life was gone. That fire was forever burned into her memory.
:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:
Mya went home and began to pack for her trip. She never packed more than food, toiletries, and a few simple changes of clothing, which included all undergarments as well.
As she packed memories of after the fire flew through her mind. Closing her eyes she forced herself to forget. Those were the days she had moved in with Megan and her family. She didn't speak to anyone for two years. She would smile at people but it was just a shadow of what she was.
Over time she began to smile real smiled, but they were still guarded. The only other person that seemed to find a way into her heart was little Claire. Mya was 22 years old when she was born. The little girl was the light of her life, as well as her mothers and fathers.
:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:
The trip to the mountains took Mya about 3 hours. But that time was spend listening to soft Celtic music, as well as remembering the first time she sang to little Claire.
:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:
Mya had just slipped off to sleep when crying woke her. 'Oh no… not again!' thought Mya as she went back to the room that Claire had been sleeping in. "What is it sweetie?" Mya picked the baby from her crib and noted her crying softened some. "Hey there, is that all you wanted? You just want attention… I'll just have to sing you to sleep… You are lucky little one. I've not sung for anyone in a long time…" Mya sat down in a rocking chair.
"Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine
Tell him to make me a cambric shirt Tell him to find me an acre of land Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Without no seam, nor fine needlework
Then he'll be a true love of mine
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea strand
Then he'll be a true love of mine
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine"
By the end of the song little Claire was fast asleep, and Mya couldn't bear to put her down. 'I'll make sure you have the best aunt in all the world… Me.' It was then Mya first lost her heart to the little angel.

Mya pulled into a parking lot. All of the workers in the area knew her from her bi-yearly trips to the forest. "Hello Miss Mya!"
"Hello Mr. Williams! Well here you are!" Mya tossed him her keys. "Made sure I get it back in one piece ok?"
"Of course Miss!" Theo Williams was one of the sweetest guys she knew, and she trusted him to take care of her car while she was away. "I'll see all of you in four weeks!"
"Miss Mya! You be careful! There have been reports of strange things going on as of late."
"Thanks for the warning Theo! I'll take care of myself!" Pack on her back she took off into the woods. 'Who knows… I might even have a real adventure!'
