An unexpected family (the hobbit/thorin Oakenshield love story)

Chapter 17: Who am I

Picture above is what she looked like before and what she looks like now along with what clothes she is wearing

Katiea POV:

"Are you sure it's even her?"
"Doesn't look like her"
"I think she's waking up..."

I heard voices around me, I watched black fade away but leave my vision blurry. I saw figures above me. My vision straightened out and I saw three girls. "Ey lass, ye alright?" One asked. She has long red hair, shaved on the right side. "Scottie don't be rude, we don't know if she is The one we are looking for but if she is then we must be respectful!" Another one snapped with curly brown hair. "Ve don't need to do anyzhing. I say she doesn't get anyzhing until ve know if she's zhe real deal." The last one said who had spiky boyish white hair. "W-where am I? Who are you?" I asked utterly scared as I sat up. "See! Zhe girl doesn't even know vhere she is zheres no vay she's the princess!" The white haired girl said. "Be smart now Julchen. She was taken when she was a baby, there's no way she's remember." The brown haired one said. "Aye that's true." The redhead they called Scottie said.

"Ladies. Leave." A booming voice said. The girls immediately left, leaving the man. He was very tall with black hair that had tints of red. "Hello again...pleasure to see you after all these years." He said to me. "E-excuse me? I've never met you in my life!" I said pulling my knees to my chest. He sighed and smiled. He placed his hand gently on my hair, "understandable statement, you where just a baby." He said. I watched him take a small vile out of his robes and hold it up. "Now, I need you to drink this." He said handing it to me." I looked at it then to him. "M-may I ask who you are before I drink this?" I asked looking up at him. "I am Ramron. A wizard." He said. I nodded. "Now, I need you to trust me. I mean you no harm whatsoever." He said. I couldn't help but feel a powerful trust in this man. I looked at the vile and sighed. I closed my eyes and quickly downed the contents of the vile. I gasped at the bitter taste. "Gross! What was that!!" I hacked. Ramron chuckled. "Soon this form your in will fade, and your true form will show itself." He said. My eyes widened, "what? What do you mean my true form?" I asked frantically. "No need to worry, you won't even feel yourself changing." He spoke calmly. He placed a hand on my shoulder and led me out of the room. I noticed that the walls where stone, though I could see strong streams of heat behind the wall. Suddenly a glimpse of red caught my eye. I looked and saw my hair not only getting longer but becoming bright red. I looked down and also saw my bust getting bigger and my feet going to a smaller and non hairy state. "I-is this that change you where talking about?" I asked Ramron. "Yes, it is. Your eyes have grown a more vibrant green, and your skin is like porcelain silk." He said. I felt a blush grow. "Thank you...c-can I ask you something?" I stuttered looking at the stone ground. "Of course my dear." He replied. "Can you tell me who I am?" I asked looking up at him. "Just like...the basic what I am and who I am and what I do?!" I practically begged. "All your memories and skills will come back to you. But yes. Now, I must start with your name is not Katiea. It is Seraphine Eithne. You are the daughter of King Dughall Eithne and Former Queen Claudia Eithne." He stated. "F-former? You mean my mother is dead?" I asked. Ramron nodded. "She recently passed away due to an illness to great for me to cure. I am truely sorry." He said. I nodded, "it's alright...at least you tried." I stuttered. "So...I'm the daughter if the king and queen?" I asked. Ramron nodded. "I-I'm a princess?" I stuttered. "Yes my dear." He said with a smile. "Here, put these on. They are clean and not torn like your current clothes.

Thorin POV

I sat in the holding cell inside Mirkwood. I watched as they brought back Dwalin. "I can't believe this...first those bloody monstrosities that attacked us in the forest and now this?" I heard Kili say. I sighed in agreement. "Hey...I just realized something...where's Katiea?" Kili said. I looked up in shocked then threw myself at the bars. "What?!?? She's not here?!" I yelled. "No, to think of it I haven't seen her since we entered the forest." Bofur said. I went to the back of my self, and slid down the wall onto the ground. "Well that's fantastic." I muttered having no clue what to do or how to find her. "Do we have the other halfling?" I asked. "Um....no. No we do not." Fili replied. I rammed my head onto the stone and growled through my teeth. "Fantastic."

Katiea POV

I had taken my full transformation into my actual form...I must say I was quite beautiful. Significantly more than when I was a hobbit. "Ramron, does everyone here know who I am?" I asked.
" of course! Everyone has eagerly waited your return. However someone has been waiting to see you again...for the last 30 years." He said. My eyes widened. "Really? Who?" I asked with a smile. "Your dragon." He said. My eyes widened in terror. "M-my dragon?! I have a dragon?!" I said frantically.
"Yes, however there is no need to be frightened. After all this is Astarot." My mind stirred, I know I've heard that name before. "Remind me, what is Astarot?" I uttered. "Our people are great warriors, and ever since we made peace with the dragons and learned to gain their trust and train them we've been one of the most feared and powerful races." Ramron said. "Does everyone have a dragon?" I asked. He shook his head then stopped and nodded then shook it again. I giggled and waited for him to speak. "In a way yes but the dragons to not belong to them. However sometimes, rarely a dragon will form a bond on a newborn child and swear to protect it for it's entire life." He said. "This dragon...my dragon. It's been waiting for me for thirty years you say?" I asked. Ramron nodded. "Do I have a bond with this dragon?" Ramron nodded once again. "Damien went on a rampage when you had to leave. He wanted to go with you, to make sure you where safe." He said.

That made me think back to that woman who sort of took care of me. Who beat me, cut me, burned me and screamed at me. To think of how much safer I would have been if I had a dragon...actually I wouldn't have stayed at all. I would have left.

"Can I meet him?" I asked Ramron. "Of course, he'd tear my head off if I didn't let you." He said. I giggled now imagining the dragon in my head.

I followed Ramron down the long stone tunnel until we came to a staircase. He led me up the stairs to a large door. A dragon could easily fit through.

Ramron pulled an iron key out of his robe and gave it to me. "I must leave you to be with him. Trust him...he won't hurt you." Ramron said before leaving. "W-wait I don't know my way around he- oh your gone...okay." I turned back to the door and slipped the key in the lock and turned it. I slowly pushed open the door, needless to say I was speechless by what I saw.
