Chapter Text
When you are all alone and everything you have ever valued has been slowly taken away, what would you do? Bella Baggins had decided that the best course of action was just to continue on with life and hope that one day the kindness she has always given others would be repaid.
Five years after the great battle for Erabor, a small group of Hobbits (such as the Tooks) have migrated across Middle Earth to settle in the fertile land around the mountain. This place, nestled between the Long Lake and Dale, soon became known as Lesser Dale to the Dwarves and Men. In amongst all of this, a hobbit by the name of Belladonna Baggins, at the behest of her Took family, has decided to escape, and start her life over away from suspicious neighbours with sticky noses and sharp tongues.
But those Miss Bella should be able to trust always seem to walk away with another part of her that she could not spare. Even in Lower Dale, she somehow cannot seem to escape those wretched Sackville-Baggins’.
This is a tale about a hobbit has not had a true family is a very long time, throws herself into the defense of those who most justly deserve it and somehow finds her place in Middle Earth along the way.
