Hey guys, I know that a lot of people say that I'm not following the concept of the book/movie but I'm not following the book at all. i'm only following parts of the movie but my character is only made up and i know it confuses people but please, it's my first Hobbit story, please don't judge. Cheers.
Siri, Daughter of Thorin
My name is Siri, daughter of Thorin and cousin of Kili and Fili. I have been with my father and cousins for as long as I could remember, even though I was the King's daughter, my cousins are heirs to the throne. I have no idea about the royalty or the family stories that my father talks about. I am no ordinary princess of Erebor, but I am a warrior like my family. I am the first young lady that has ever used a bow and arrow and a sword that both my cousins had taught me throughout the years. I don't wear dresses but I can wear an armoured suit. My father does not like the idea of a woman to join in the wars. He's too overprotective of me and it goes for Kili and Fili also. I have been asking myself the same questions that have been left unanswered in my head. My heart has been guiding me to do what's right and I have chosen to fight and save my home, my family and of course, my people. But there's a secret that I have told no-one about. When I was younger, a wizard had put a curse on me. Every full moon or part of the moon that shines in the sky, I become angry and I turn into a beast that I had feared throughout my childhood and adulthood. I haven't told my father, Kili or Fili about the curse but I will when the time is right. But for now I will concentrate on what I'm doing now.
I was in a field with my bow and arrow with Kili and Fili by my side. I have been getting better with my aims and bet Kili with the targets. Of course, he was surprised and Fili chuckled with anticipation. "That's a really good shot, Siri. Kili had taught you well," said Fili as he sat on a rock watching the scene in front of him.
I turned to face him with a triumphant smile on my face. "You have also taught me well of using a sword, Fili. Father wouldn't have appreciate of me going into battle with you guys, but I am not any ordinary woman for crying out loud. I have a chance to save our home as much as you guys do. Father needs to accept my decisions."
Kili and Fili both exchange glances at each other and faced me again. Kili sighed. "Siri, we just don't want you to get hurt. We care so deeply about you and we don't want to lose you."
I sighed and smiled at them. "I know you do, but I have a right to defend my home and family just as much. We can destroy our enemies once and for all and we'll have peace. Don't you agree?" They both nodded and they hugged me. I hugged them back and we packed up and headed back to the others.
We had been camping in a cave with Gandalf, Bilbo and the other dwarves. Kili, Fili and I were sitting beside the fire, sharpening our blades and arrows, when all of a sudden, we heard a roar of a warg and orcs. They are the most hideous creatures that you could ever see, especially in the night. Bilbo turned around, frightened of what is out there. "What was that?" he asked.
Kili replied. "Orcs," as he and Fili stared out in the horizon.
Fili replied next. "They are hideous creatures that come out of the night and they are ruthless as any other beasts, especially goblins."
Bilbo turned around and my cousins had giggled but I nudged both of them. "That's not funny you guys. Most of us are scared here, and yet your making jokes," I said to them.
They looked down in shame. "We didn't mean anything by it," Kili replied.
I sighed as I looked up at the midnight sky with a full moon shining down on us. Wait, full moon? I thought to myself as I gasped and jumped up and walked away from the group but got stopped by my father. "Siri, where do you think you are going?"
"Father, I don't have time to explain. I have to get away just now otherwise I'll do something that I will regret for the rest of my life. You have to trust me," I pleaded and Thorin was about to argue but I quickly ran off. All that I could hear in the distance were my cousins yelling my name, but I kept running until I broke out into a beast that I had feared all of my life. I turned into a black warg but I kill the evil, not the good, but it's hard to control my actions. I kill whatever that gets in my way.
I was running when I heard a snarl coming my way, I snarled back and attacked the warg that was running towards me. I managed killing it but was injured in the process. I was a strong being by killing six wargs and orcs as the rest had ran back to where they had came from. I went back to the camp still in my warg form and the others got a fright of their lives when they saw me but I backed away and whimpered. Kili and Fili noticed as they both walked towards me carefully. I fell and changed back into my human form completely exposed. Kili took off his jacket and wrapped it around me when I was unconscious. They all looked startled and confused by what's happened to me.
oOo
Fili walked up to his Uncle. "Uncle, Siri is fine but injured a bit badly. We have to let her rest and she will tell us what's happened when she is ready. We can't force her to tell us." He watched Thorin closely for anything for him to reply back, but Thorin said nothing. How could he? His only daughter had turned into a beast which he didn't know about, but neither has both of his nephews.
Thorin forced to look away from the sight of his daughter whilst she was still sleeping as Kili watched over her. He walked away and sat on a rock. He wanted to be left alone with his thoughts.
Fili walked back over towards his brother and sat on the opposite side of Siri when she was still knocked out. "How is she?" asked Fili.
Kili shrugged. "I don't know. She hasn't moved for a while now."
oOo
After he finished that sentence, I woke up startled and gasped for air. I felt both pair of hands trying to comfort me. I looked at their faces. "Fili? Kili?"
They sighed in relief and hugged me as I hugged them back. I looked around and noticed that Thorin wasn't with us. "Where's father?"
The boys glanced at each other. "He's just around the corner. He wants to be alone with his thoughts at the moment. Now won't be a good time of speaking to him," Fili replied and Kili nodded in agreement.
I closed my eyes and looked down exhaling and opened them again as I noticed that I was only wrapped up in Kili's jacket. I blushed with embarrassment and coughed. "Uh... Guys, would you pass over my bag please? I have to... Um... You know." They both went wide eyed with understanding and hurried to get my bag with my extra clothing and I quickly changed, feeling more comfortable now.
The sky started to brighten up now and everyone had packed up, got on our ponies and continued our journey. Bilbo was riding beside me whilst Fili and Kili were riding behind us. Bilbo was acting a bit uncomfortable riding beside me and I sighed. "Bilbo, I know you want to ask me something since it's been eating you alive and making you uncomfortable," I said.
Bilbo looked at me. "How did it happen? With...? You know."
"One of the wizard's had cast a spell on me by turning into a monster that we hate the most. Everytime the moon is in the night sky, I change. I can change in the day time as well when there's any danger around. It's a curse and sometimes, I don't know, I can't control the beast within me. Father hadn't known this since this morning, it freaked all of you out and I didn't know what to do. I can't stop. It's hard for you lot to understand the situation. Saruman was the one who cursed me, I could recognize that night when he came into my bedroom and cursed me. I was afraid and have been ever since," I explained, "but, I have to live with it or I could ask Gandalf to take the curse away, but I seriously doubt that." I shrugged and zoned out for a few minutes as the memory had flashed into my mind again. It haunted my dreams every night.
A/N: well that's chapter 1 up. I know that a couple of people had said that Saruman isn't evil blah blah blah but this is my story and I can write whatever I like. So I've written chapter 2 and its up. So check it out and please review. Cheers.
