I Do Not Own The Hobbit only my OC

The Beginning

With everything that has happened in my life this one take's the cake, I know for sure that I went to sleep in my bed last night after a long day of dancing now I was laying on something hard. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around me, I was sleeping on my stomach in the dirt or road not sure which one it is. I slowly got to my knees and rubbed my eyes of sleep. "What in the hell is going on" I looked around my surrounding and there were a lot of old school looking buildings that were made out of rocks and mud every where I looked. "Uh,.. again What the hell" I finally stood on my feet, the sky was still dark out but it looked like it was going to be morning soon. I started to make my way down the dirt path to find some life or something because this was just creepy. it didn't take long before I started to hear some laughing inside a building that seemed to have the only lights on out of all the buildings. I was about to make my way over when five tall and I mean five freakish tall men come out holding each other and laughing.

"What do we have here, a little dwarf" I stood still in my spot frozen with fear, one of the men started to make their way to me. I had wrapped my arms around me tightly because the man was giving me the creepiest smile that I have ever seen on anyone in my life

"A pretty little one at that"

"Come here she-dwarf" the man that was coming at me grabbed for my left arm, it was at this time that I finally snapped out of my frozen state.

"NO, LET GO" I used my free hand to slap and scratch at his hand but he didn't even feel my attempts to pry him off.

"Let the lass go" I heard a voice from behind, I was afraid that one of the men had gotten behind but they were still all in front looking pass me, I slowly looked back and saw a man but this man was as equally as small as me.

"Bug off dwarf, this is no business of yours" the man that was holding me growled at the small man

"It is of my business when one of my kind is being attacked by the likes of you... now let the lass go" the men didn't seemed to care what the small man said and continue to drag me towards them, I was ready to start kicking when another hand grabbed at my right arm and pulled me away from my attacker and pushed behind the small man.

"YOU DARE STICK YOUR NOSE IN OUR BUSINESS DWARF" the man that had me before shot his hand out to punch this small man, but it happened very fast, the little man dodged his punch and brought up a hammer that I failed to notice. knocked the tall guy out with only one hit, the others came to aid their fallen comrade but decided to try and take out this little man, but each one didn't stand a chance of even get a hit on him before they were all laid out.

"Wow, that was so cool" the small man finally turned to look at me and I looked at him for the first time, he was wearing a dark green flannel some what looking shirt, the sleeves were pushed up to his elbow and black pants that looked some what leather and brown boots. his face had some soot here and there, black hair with braids in it with a small black beard going on as well.

"Now that I can see you, you are no she-dwarf what are you" I stopped looking at him and closed my mouth looking down at myself, my pj or shirt was really huge on me, I forgot that I had only slept with a shirt and didn't put on a short cut. my brown hair was even long reaching to the middle of my back and not my shoulders.

"Is that a trick question, the last I checked I was a normal human being" the small man just 'hm' me and walked around me to go back the way he came, I didn't know what to do, I looked at the five freakish tall men and took off like a bat out of hell after the man that saved me. "HEY WAIT FOR ME" I saw the man turn right into a building, I couldn't really keep up since I was barefoot and the rocks were digging into my feet. I finally came to the building, it was filled with metal at every corner and my savior was using the hammer that he used to save me with on a piece of metal that was glowing orange.

"What do you want now little one" the man didn't even turn to look at me when he spoke

"Sorry I just wanted to thank you and I don't know where I am, can you point me to a bus stop of something" the man turned to me slowly

"Your in Eriador or Blue Mountain if you will... and I don't know what you speak of"

"Bl-blue Mountain...is that some where in Phoenix" the man put his hammer down and walked to a stool

"Phoenix, is that where you hail"

"Is that where I hail, what age are you...yeah that's where I live Phoenix, Arizona" the man rubbed his forehead losing his patience with me.

"I never heard of a place in Middle-Earth" the world seemed to hit the breaks when this man had said Middle-Earth

'Middle-Earth as in Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli' I must have been standing there for a long time because the small man was working on that piece of metal again.

"Sorry did you say Middle-Earth" the man stopped hitting and looked at me from the corner of his eye

"Aye"

"You got to be joking me, that can't be right...this is some kind of dream...I'm going to wake up with my sister jumping on my back or giving me a wet willy or something, this place was just made up by some college professor..." the man put down his hammer again and looked at me since I was walking around in a circle pulling at me hair, pinching my arms, biting my fingers, and slapping at my face. this man must think I'm a crazy lunatic that won't leave him alone now.

"I'm not one to be rude to a lady, but what in Aule are you talking about"

"I'm talking about this Man" I point at everything, even at him, "Is not real, it's a book and they made a movie based on the book and I think there was another one coming out or is already out not to sure because all I do is go to school, study, sleep, and eat. I must have slipped into a coma or something because I haven't slept in days because I have a major final coming up in all my classes...yeah that's it, I'm in a little coma, I heard that's what happens to people that have insomnia but not to keen on that-" I stopped talking when I looked back at the little man and he was full blown glaring at me.

"You speak of nonsense my lady-"

"Serenity"

"What" the man tilted his head a bit

"My name is Serenity Blackwood freshmen at University of Phoenix" the man nodded and put a hand under his chin and the other across his midsection

"Thorin Oakenshield son of Thrain at your service" he did a quick bow or small bow if you will before talking again, "As I was saying, everything that your saying is not making any sense in the slightest, so if you don't mind I have much to do" I froze in my spot again looking at him while he turned back to his work

"But I don't know where to go, I'm not from around here as I was saying, I'm not from this Middle-Earth but a place called earth just earth" I started to plea to Thorin's back "What if something like this morning happened to me again" Thorin stopped hammering and put it down again, I could hear him taking a deep breath before turning to me... once again

"I can not take you in, I am sorry lady Blackwood"

"I'm not asking you to take me in, just help me find my way home or someone that can help me find my way home, anyone that knows anything"

"I know of one but I do not know if he can help with your troubles"

"That could be a start" Thorin turned back to his work and continue to ignore me again, I was about to say something when he spoke first

"When I am done, I shall take you to him, sit on the stool and do not talk anymore" I nodded my head sitting on the stool, I wonder how in the world is he taking this all in, if someone came up to me like that, I would have made fun of the person and walked away, but he took it like a champion and he didn't even ask me any questions at all just said I wasn't making and sense, what if he was going to take me to an asylum or something like that, but his name it does sound familiar.. just a bit, didn't they say he;s name a few times in lord of the rings, no it was that book that I barely had time to read, what was in called I know my sister said something about it being the first book before lord of the rings was suppose to start, but I wasn't into it because the others had Aragorn and Legolas. I must have been really thinking because the next thing I notice is a sandwich was being toss into my lap, I looked up at Thorin but he had his back to me again.

"Thank you" I heard him make a noise again but I just bit into the food

I started to get bored just sitting here doing nothing, I wanted to start talking because that's what I do when it's to quiet or if I feel like I'm unwanted, it was number two since Thorin was making a lot of noise hitting the piece of metal all day and tossing it into water, every now and than he would give me a cup of water so I didn't have to dehydrate from all of this heat but it wasn't that hot is was just right if you ask me.

"I am done for the day, let us go" I looked up and Thorin was putting his things away, I was going to help but he already turned for the door. I had to do a little jog to keep up with him, but I was still going slow since I didn't have shoes on and was only wearing a shirt, thank goodness my under clothes stayed on.

"Not to be a pain in your side but can you walk a little slow, I don't have shoes" I stepped on a sharp rock causing me to stop and hold me feet, Thorin stopped and turned to me.

"Is that the only clothes you came here with" he asked the question like he had known another that came out of nowhere like me.

"Well yes, the last thing I remember was sleeping in my bed than poof I'm here" He nodded his head and looked at my shirt, it was a black 'Children of Bodom' shirt, with the concert tour listing on the back.

"Your story seems to make since the more I look at you with your odd appearance"

"Okay...only this once I'm going to take that as a compliment because I'm trying to show you I'm not from here" I tried to look at my foot to see if there was any damage, but there was none so I continued to walk and Thorin started to lead the way again. The walk up a hill was not fun without shoes stupid rocks, Thorin finally came to a door and knocked like he was the police, I waited for a bit rubbing my poor feet when the door opened showing an old man with white hair but not really white a bit of bright gray.

"Thorin, what brings you here" Thorin bowed to the old man

"Evening Balin" I poked my head farther out to get a better look at him around Thorin when this Balin spotted me.

"Well evening my lady" I waved with my fingers when Thorin turned a bit to look at me

"She is the reason that I am here to see you Balin" Balin looked between us for a moment

"Come in, Come in" he moved to the side so we could pass, when my feet touched the smoothed floor I let my breath out,

"Lady Blackwood take a seat, while I discuss with Balin of your troubles" I nodded to Thorin and walked around the living room, it was a bit small but livable, there were only two chairs a coffee table, and a fire place nothing much at all, not even pictures everything was plain and simple, meaning there was nothing else to do besides sit down, the chair was freaking comfortable or it was because I was siting on a stool all day and woke up on the ground and almost taken advantage of. I closed my eyes thinking about everything that has happened to me and what was happening at home, my mother and her stupid drinking problem and my little sister having to clean after her all the time, for a little girl she should be worrying about child things and not looking after a grown woman. Then there were my friends and my boyfriend Joseph it was all to much, it was not a good time to just go into a coma with my life riding on passing my classes. I closed my eyes so I could think even harder on getting back to my life.

I felt someone lightly shaking my shoulder, my opened my eyes and looked around the fire that was burning was going out. I looked at the person that was shaking me.

"I must have fallen asleep" I rubbed my eyes and Balin smile weakly at me, Thorin went to the fire place and tossed some more wood in.

"Master Thorin has told me everything lady Blackwood, it's troubling indeed" Balin sat down in the other chair, "I don't know how you came here, since you say this is just a story made up in your time, that alone is something to think about"

"So any thoughts on how I can wake up from this" Balin was rubbing his beard looking hard into the fire.

"I have read books by man in my time, some talking about windows or dreams of different places that they have never been to"

"What are you getting at Mister Balin"

"There was one, that wrote of a place that he dreamed of so he put it in a book, that too was made up"

'This sounds like something from supernatural, now that is a TV show that I love, they called one person a prophet because he could see things that Dean and Sam would be doing...prophet, prophet'

"Do you know what a prophet is mister Balin" I started to chew on my thumbnail it was a nerves habit, I looked at Balin but in the corner of my eye I saw Thorin look at me and at Balin.

"That too could be one of the many idea's lady Blackwood, something must have brought your here for a reason lady Blackwood but for what cause, can you fight" I have never in my life ever fought, but I did fight a few girls in high school but that was over jealousy.

"No, I have not, where I am from there's not much to do, there is a war going on but I think that is almost over or something not to sure on that part"

"What so you do besides this classes lady Blackwood"

"I just finished high school and started college, to become a doctor"

"So you know nothing of the world" Thorin finally started to speck up

"Well yeah, I'm almost 18 years old, I finished high school early" Thorin and Balin shared a look before turning to me

"I think it's best you go to sleep lady Blackwood, you can stay here, I have an extra room for you"

"I shall take my leave" Balin walked Thorin to the door while I got up so Balin could show me to this extra room. I could hardly hear Thorin and Balin talking before the door closed, Balin came back and walked me to my room, I went up the stairs it was really narrow but enough room for me and Balin to stand next to each other.

"Here we are" Balin opened a door for me, "I hope everything meets to your taste" I looked around the room, there was a small bed, one drawer, and one rug just like the rest of the house it was plain.

"Thank you mister Balin" Balin did a small bow before closing the door

"Night lady Blackwood" I heard Balin say on the other side

"Good night" I slipped into the bed the blanket was really thin but the whole room was still warm so I didn't mind at all

I was having a good dream when I heard knocking on my door, it wouldn't stop so I rolled over and covered my head with my pillow, but the knocking continued

"Please Trinity give me ten more minutes" the knocking stopped and I smiled in my sleep

"Sorry to inform you lady Blackwood, but I'm not Trinity" I jumped out of bed and looked at the door, I was still here

"Oh sorry mister Balin, I thought I had woken up in my own bed"

"No need to be sorry lass, but you must come down and have breakfast before it get's cold" I brushed my fingers through my hair trying to tame the bird nest

"Okay be right out"

The day went by slower than slow, it was around noon when Balin decided to teach me swordplay to pass the time since I'm his first visitor that doesn't know how to do anything beside sit around taking space.

"You have to bring your arms in, your leaving yourself open to a lot of attacks" this was freaking insane, I been at this all day and I'm going no where

"Okay...there is that enough"

"No bring your arms more in" okay I've had it, I throw my sword down and stomped my foot, Balin was nice enough to go into town to buy me some shoes after taking my size and giving me a pair of clothes to wear since I looked stupid with a big shirt on, my hair was tied back so it wouldn't get in my way.

"I can't do this, my arms and legs hurt, this sword is too heavy to hold up" I kicked the sword out of anger when a candle flame started to grow bigger the more I was getting angry, but I was unaware since I was still kicking the damn sword, Balin on the other hand was watching the flame grow. "Stupid sword, that's what you get haha, feel the power of Serenity" I kicked the sword in the halt but it did a perfect 180 and cut into my boot cutting my pinky toe, "WHAT THE DEVIL" I grabbed for my feet jumping up and down on one foot.

"That would be all for today lass, let's go inside and have dinner"

"That would be nice mister Balin" Balin smiled and started to for the door since we were in the back yard or something like that, for me I started to limp my way into the living room to take off my boot and look at the damage. Once the boot was off there was a few blood here and there but no cut, "Okay what the hell" I looked at my pinky toe the best I could but there still wasn't any sign of a cut being there just the blood all over my pinky. I was really looking at my toe when there was a loud knock at the door.

"I'll get it" I spoke to Balin but he was already out of the kitchen walking to the door.

"It's fine lass I can get it" I shrugged my shoulder and continued to look at my toe, I used my sock to wipe the blood away, when I heard a deep voice.

"Evening brother" I looked over my shoulder to the door but the wall was covering the person from my view

"Aye Dwalin it's been a long time since you come by, come in" I big guy walked in, well big for me and not freakish big, he had a no hair on top of his head.

"Aye, my travels are over for the time being-" Dwalin stopped talking when he spotted me sitting here looking at him. "You finally found a she-dwarf that can stand you I see, a bit young and beardless" I touch my chin feeling a bit weird with him looking at me and making sure I didn't have no beard.

"This here is Serenity Blackwood and she is no she-dwarf...well I don't know what she is" Dwalin nodded but didn't take his eyes off me and gave me a hard look coming a bit closer and put his hand under my chin making me look at him, his look became a little harder.

"I didn't think there were any of you left" Balin came to stand next to his brother

"What do you mean Dwalin" Balin looked between the two of us before looking at me

"The eyes of a fire wielder, not a pure breed but a fire wielder" Balin took a closer look as well

"Aye I see now" I looked at Balin

"What do you mean?"

"I couldn't tell since I met you in the late evening, and with the training your were far back, but now I see it"

"You see what?" I stood up now looking between the both of them

"Your eyes are red lass, the trade mark of a fire wielder" I cracked my brow and looked at them

"What do you mean my eyes are brown" I moved away from the brothers to try in find a mirror or something to look at myself, it didn't take long for me to find a silver pot, I looked at my eyes, they were slowly turning red, it was an ugly reddish brown now.

"We must inform Thorin of this news" I heard Balin specking fast to his brother

"Tomorrow, right now he is with his sister and nephews" the brothers came into the kitchen, "Tell me brother how did you come by this fire wielder, last I heard they all vanished or died out, haven't seen one since I was a dwarfling" I sat down in on of the two chairs while Balin retold my story to Dwalin, Dwalin just shook his head not really believing his brother that I just woke up on the road all the way to me not holding a sword and fighting with the sword and losing. Balin passed out the food while him and Dwalin talked about other things that didn't concern me, I ate my food in silence before I headed off to bed, today was a long day and to find out that I'm a fire something was a bit to much, I was still in a state of shock to realizing that I had my pj's on and slipping into bed.

I woke up with a start, when Dwalin kicked the end of my bed.

"Get up lady fire, we start your training now" I looked at Dwalin and slowly nodded my head since he scared me a bit with that mean look that he wore, I jumped out of bed when my door closed allowing me to put on my clothes that Balin had given me. I ate my eggs and bacon before heading outside to a waiting Dwalin, he looked at me before holding out a sword for me to take, that was how the whole day went, but late afternoon I was starting to lose my patience with this sword it was starting to lower to the ground faster every time I tried to hold it up.

"Your too weak, you need to start eating more, get more muscle on those arms" Dwalin spat out, I glared at him, I was ready to say something when he started to speak again, "You need to keep your angry in check or your going to burn this place down" Dwalin wiped at his forehead taking off his all the sweat that was there, "Your letting off to much heat"

"Dwalin, lady Blackwood come inside" Balin was standing by the door waving us in, I was too busy thinking over what Dwalin had said about me giving off to much heat, I walked into the living room and Thorin was standing by the fire place waiting for us to come in, he looked up at us and looked at my eyes before looking at Balin.

"It is true as you say, her eyes are red, at first they were brown, being here must be the affect" Thorin rubbed at his chin looking between the brothers, "We speak of this to no one, Balin and I looked at the history of Fire wielders, they used them for war, that's how they died out so fast, some hide, some were hunted for sport, and some were just disappearing out of thin air"

"If others were to find out that there was a fire wielder here it would mean the end of the Blue mountain" Balin told Dwalin who was taking this all in better than me, I stood there with my mouth hanging wide open for the flies to make a home in my mouth.

"For now Balin and I will train her to be a better fighter, but it's going to be hard to hide her if she gets angry, just a while go she changed the weather from cold to hot" I looked to Dwalin.

"What do you mean from cold to hot, isn't it warm out" Balin looked at me with a steady face.

"Lady Blackwood winter is almost here, the season is turning cold"

"One of the many things about a fire wielder, they don't feel the change in the season it's always warm to them" Thorin spoke with a disturbed look.

"All I have to do is keep my angry in check so I won't do anything stupid... is there anything else that I shouldn't do before I set fire to anything"

"Yes there is one more thing, you heal faster then others so we don't have to worry about infection" I looked at Balin with a smile

"That explains why my cut on my pinky toe was no longer there when I cut it yesterday" I looked down at my shoe at the little opening where the sword hit

Two Months Later

"Your finally getting better at something besides standing like a troll" I took in deep breathes while Dwalin looked like he wasn't even tired at all, it had been two hard months trying to learn how to fight and I was getting better and better at it, Balin trained me with defense and Dwalin trained me with offense, and lets not forget Thorin training was about power and strategy, I had to think outside the box with him, plus he had made a custom sword for me a little lighter but steady.

"Now you can survive a battle for 15 whole minutes" Balin piped in from his seat by the door smoking his pipe. Thorin was watching my improvement these pass two months, these three were the only ones that knew I was here in Blue mountain I never went outside, well out front only in the back where no one could see me

"I think you should start working with your fire lady Blackwood" Thorin said in a low tone only us can hear, Balin put down his pipe and looked up, Dwalin brought his sword next to him, "I know someone that can find you a teacher, they have sworn to keep their mouths shut about knowing what you are"

"That's cool, when well he or she be here" I looked to Thorin, he didn't look at me but at Dwalin and Balin, "Are they coming here?"

"No lady Blackwood, you are to go to them" I looked at Balin and he looked somewhat heartbroken that I was leaving, I knew he thought of me as one of his own, and Dwalin thought of me as a sister he wish he didn't have around so much but I know he cares he just doesn't want to admit that he does cares for me like a brother.

"When well Serenity be leaving" Dwalin asked Thorin lazily

"Three days, we are to meet Gandalf at the dead of night so no one is to see Lady Blackwood, we also leave at night on the day of the departure"

"Wow, I can't believe I'm really going to be leaving" I looked at each of them but none of them spoke, "We'll see each other right"

"Of course Serenity" Balin nodded his head and started smoking again, I smiled at him and picked up my toothpick (I named my sword because I'm that lame and can't think of a better name as well)

Three Days Later

"Wow this place is really nothing more than a flat land, check that out it's a rabbit"

"We're trying to leaving without being noticed Serenity now shut up" Dwalin snapped at me but I was still going on and the bunny.

"I never seen a rabbit before, were I leave it's nothing more than buildings after buildings, no wildlife at all, I have never left Phoenix until two months ago, plus there is no one out here, it's not like that rabbit is going to tell anyone" Balin had given me a black traveling cloak to cover my whole body from my hair to my feet nothing showed besides my hand that was sticking out.

"Keep your guard up lady Blackwood, we are leaving the safety of Dunland" I put my hand on my sword while me walked, we been walking for hours on end and my feet were starting to kill me.

"I like rabbits a lot, it's my Chinese zodiac after all"

"I'm not even going to ask what that is, it was hard enough to go through the long talk about a combutter, phone, TV, movie's, ipond, and what was that last one...vehicolds I think that's what you called it" Dwalin tried to brush me off

"It's computer, iPod, and vehicles and don't forget the super market with all it's can foods, now that was an argument that I never what to look back on"

"Aye, I agree with you Serenity" Balin let out a smoke with a smile

"Well a Chinese Zodiac is based on an animal 12 animals, how do I make it simple for you" I put my finger to my lip

"I don't think there well ever be a simpler away for Dwalin, Serenity" Dwalin throw a piece of beard at Balin's head

"Okay, well it's just a thing that the Chinese did to make things more simple"

"We're here" Thorin stopped walking at the edge of a forest and looked around into the trees to make sure no one was around to spy on us, if you ask me Thorin was going way over the top, "Balin stay with lady Blackwood, Dwalin check the trees to the right" Dwalin gave a nod and was off check the woods for something that wasn't even there but hey they we're like older brothers that I wished I had from the start. Me and Balin sat on the ground waiting for Thorin and Dwalin to return when we heard a squeaking sound, I was up on my feet helping Balin to stand as well before pulling out my sword

"Get behind me Serenity" Balin moved to the front looking down the road, I heard quick foot steps on both sides, than Thorin and Dwalin popped out and stood next to us blocked me from view.

"Stay on you guard Serenity, remember everything I taught you"

"Yes Brother Dwalin" I looked at the road and out of the shadows came a horse than a man in grey robes with a pointy hat, I saw Thorin's shoulder relax just a bit but still on guard.

"Gandalf you are late" Thorin put his sword away but made sure that Balin and Dwalin didn't do the same

"A wizard is never late Lord Thorin or early, but right on time" I looked at Gandalf more closely before Dwalin and Balin put their swords away after making sure it was Gandalf and not some weirdo.

"So that is the young bender" Gandalf looked at me with his pipe in his hand.

"Name is Serenity Blackwood and it is an honor to meet you Mister Gandalf" I did a small bow

"Like wise lady Blackwood" Thorin moved forward and started to talk with him while I was to busy saying my last good byes to Balin and Dwalin, I gave each a good 3 minute hug.

"I'm going to miss the both of you, thank you Dwalin and Balin for training me all I know and taking care of me even though you didn't have too"

"It was a great honor having you in my house Lady Serenity Blackwood till we meet again" Balin kissed the back of my hand and gave me a last hug

"I'm not saying goodbye to you, because we well be meeting again Serenity" Dwalin nodded to me but it was so freaking heart breaking since he never says anything nice or close to nice, so I gave him a hug again as well.

"It's time Lady Blackwood" Thorin came over and I too gave him a hug and goodbye before making my way to Gandalf but I was stopped by Thorin, "This is for the road it's flame and water resistant" Thorin wrapped a black scarf around my neck twice, it was still a bit longer but good enough for me

"Thank you Thorin" with another hug I was off getting into the wagon with Gandalf, with a last waved to my three brothers I was out of sight.
