Hi everyone. This is a story based off of my one shot I Hate You. As requested I am writing a full story. Will be a Thorin x OC eventually. Rated T for now but the rating WILL go up in later chapters. Beginning is kind of slow, sorry. I hope you enjoy! xoxo
Amane gave a sigh of relief as she rode her horse into the shire. Ever since she got that message from gandalf she had been on the road. And traveling for weeks was a pain in the ass, especially since she hadn't stopped for rest. The old wizard wanted her to be in the shire one week from when she received the message.
The problem was she was over a week away. So she has been riding for a week straight, almost non stop. So she was happy when she saw the shire, knowing that she would get a nights rest at last.
She rode her horse to Bag End, thankful for the directions Gandalf gave her. She dismounted her horse, and let him go, knowing he would come when called. She looked at the door with the glowing symbol. It looked like all the other homes here, a hole in a hill. It was cute, in her opinion, and it was her size, she would fit under the door easily. She made her way to the door, knocking twice.
"Its about time" Gandalf greeted her opening the door. It was a comical sight, seeing the wizard bent over like that. She rolled her eyes at the wizard.
"Its nice to see you too, Gandalf. You called?" she said stepping in. The wizard hadn't specified why he asked for her, he only stated that he was cashing in the favor she owed him.
"Yes i did my dear! right this way." He stated, leading her to the dining room, which was full of dwarves, and a hobbit. The man who she assumed was their leader stood up and faced them.
"I asked for a 14th member, not a fif-" He stopped short when he saw Amane. At first she thought it was because of her odd looks, white hair and purple eyes tended to do that to people. But she knew that wasn't the case when she saw hate fill his eyes. Her hand immediately went to her sword, and this caused other dwarves to stand.
"You brought an elf" he spat, and Amane rolled her eyes, letting go of her sword.
"I take it you are Thorin Oakensheild." She stated. She needed no introduction to the dwarf who was famous for hating elves. She turned to Gandalf.
"I owe you a favor Gandalf, but i wont be helping someone who will hate me simply because i have pointed ears." She stated.
"I do not want your help" Thorin all but snarled. Amane laughed at that, which only seemed to anger him more.
"If i say she is joining us, then she is joining us." Gandalf practically yelled, more to the dwarf than the elf. Amane sighed. Joy.
"Come with me, Amane" The old wizard demanded before leaving the hobbit hole, amane hot on his heels. Once outside the wizard took a breath and turned to her. "We need you on this journey, Amane. Though Thorin does not know it yet. Yes he wont like it, but he will get over it, in time."
"What journey, Gandalf?" Amane asked not liking how the wizard wasn't mentioning just where they were going.
"He plans to retake Erebor." Amane froze at that. Erebor, the kingdom under the mountain. The one that Smaug took over.
"You can not honestly assume that i will risk my life fighting a dragon, for an arrogant cod who hates me because of my heritage!" She stated incredulously.
"I can and you will. You owe me, Amane Yuricami, and i am calling in that favor. Besides, he only hates half of your heritage." He ended that cheekily, earning an eyeroll from Amane, before they both headed back inside. They were greeted by two younger dwarfs.
"Hello. I'm Kili" The dark hair one stated.
"And I'm Fili" The blonde added.
"St your service." They ended together, bowing. Amane laughed lightly at that.
"Amane." She introduced smiling. She had a feeling these two were goofy. Right after that she got an introduction to everyone else. all thirteen. And all of their names matched. When she asked about the hobbit who owned the home, gandalf explained that he went to bed early, and wouldn't be joining them.
She left the hobbit hole before the night was over, intent on getting some fresh air. The light chatter of the dwarves were pleasant enough, but the glare from their leader was annoying. She walked down the pleasant hills of the shire, stopping at an orchard. She wandered through the trees, before picking an apple about to eat it.
She smiled as she bit into the apple. It was surely one of the best she had ever eaten. She rested on a tree, taking in the view of the moonlite Shire. It really was a beautiful sight, Everything seemed so peaceful here. No orcs. No wars. Just peace. She was lost in thought, and didn't notice a figure approaching her.
"leave it to an elf to take what isn't theirs." She heard the gruff voice from behind her, and spun to face Thorin. Go figure, the reason she left the hobbit hole followed her. She threw the apple to the ground before standing up straight.
"Learn to read, dwarf, the sign says community orchard, which means the apples are free." She stated before continuing her aimless walk. She heard him following her again.
"I do not trust you, elf, so let me make it clear, if you do anything to sabotage this journey, i will kill you myself." She whipped around to face him at that. A hard glare on her face, that matched his.
"Lets get one thing straight, dwarf, the only one who will sabotage this journey is you, and if you threaten me again it will not be taken lightly." She snarled before walking away, leaving the dwarf to his own anger.
Amane didn't go back to the hobbit hole that night, instead she spent it on the rolling hills with her horse, Stefan. She rested in the fields, while her horse grazed lightly. She hated the fact Gandalf was making her travel with these dwarves, when she was so obviously unwelcome. But she owed the wizard, so she would be with them in the morning, to set off on what would surely be the worst journey of her life.
