I only own Heather and I have Kate's permission to use her
Kate's POV
Heather and I had finally dozed off on the uncomfortable floor. I felt myself being shuffled around slightly but I didn't bother to open my eyes. I felt something warm hit my face and I opened my eyes to find that sunlight was streaming in through the window blinding me.
"Sweet God! It buuuuurns my precious! It burnssssss!" I screamed. I went to roll over and fell… off of a couch. I looked up bewildered and pushed myself up off of the ground. "Okay, who the hell moved me to the couch?" I said dangerously low. I heard someone chuckle and I looked up to see Fili smiling down at me.
"I did milady. You looked uncomfortable on the floor and I thought the couch would be much better." He said. I blushed slightly and I felt little butterflies in my stomach.
"Okay number one, Kate, my name is Kate. Not milady, not miss, not ma'am, not lady. It is Kate. Number two!" I started. I saw him flinch a little bit and his smile had been wiped away. I felt bad. "Thank you." I ended, smiling. He smiled back and then looked over toward Heather.
"You might want to wake your friend. We're leaving soon." He said. I couldn't help myself, I laughed… loud. He looked at me confused and I stopped.
"Oh you're serious. Ah HAIL NAW! I am NOT waking that thing! She's scarier than a dragon when she's woken up. Nope, nuh uh, not doing it. I'm keeping my head, thank you very much." He looked at me strangely and then sighed. He looked over at Kili and motioned toward me.
"Brother, wake her. Make sure that she's ready so we can leave." He said. Kili nodded and then walked over to her. He sat down beside her on the couch and grabbed her shoulder gently. All the while he was doing this I was grabbing dwarves that were too close and pulling them back away from the pair. Kili looked at me like I was stupid and then shook her.
"Heather wake up!" he half said half shouted. Her eyes snapped open and a few seconds later he was on the ground flat on his ass.
"WHAT!? I AM TRYING TO SLEEP!" she was shouting. Kili scuttled backward toward his brother and all the other dwarves were looking at me scared. I motioned for them to hold on and I walked into the kitchen. I came back with some breakfast and a cup of juice. I handed it to her and her pissed off look softened and she giggled and hugged me before inhaling her food and standing up and stretching. She walked off and got ready and I just sat there laughing.
"What in the name of Durin was that!?" Kili yelled. I laughed and looked down at his scared expression.
"She's bipolar." I said. The rest of the dwarves looked at me oddly and I sighed. "It means her moods change drastically. She can go from happy to mad in a heartbeat so I'd be careful around her mate." I said standing up and walking off to where Heather went. When I got in there I saw she had made another trip to the kitchen on the way and had another plate of food and more juice.
"Hogh." She said waving. I looked at her like she was crazy and she held up a finger at me. She swallowed her food and then smiled at me. "Hi!" she said happily. I smiled at her and waved. I sat down beside her and watched in amazement how fast she got her food down.
"Dude, seriously, do you even chew?" I asked. She nodded 'yes' and then set down her plate and cup.
"I packed all of our stuff. I hope that we've got everything we need. I'm about to go saddle up the two horses Thorin said he had provided us, want to come help me?" she asked. I nodded and grabbed my pack and weapons. We walked out and toward the front door. Before we had walked outside a hand was on my shoulder.
"Where are you going? Are you leaving us?" a sad voice asked. I turned around to see Fili and the butterflies were back.
"No, I am not leaving you. We're going to saddle up our horses." I said. He smiled at me and Heather shot a glare at Kili.
"Yeah, would you like to come and scream in my ear while I do it?" she said crossing her arms and staring at Kili. He stuttered and looked down a slight blush creeping up his neck. "Thought so." She said and walked out. As she was walking around me I heard her whisper 'jack hole' under her breath. I turned to see Fili smiling.
"Those two aren't quite getting along are they?" he asked. I nodded my head when I saw Kili inch his way past us and outside. I smiled and looked to where he disappeared.
"No, no they aren't, but I have a feeling they will." I said smirking. Fili followed my gaze and smiled too. He motioned for me to set down my stuff so I did and he led me into the kitchen and we both got some breakfast. I figured out that all the dwarves were actually quite nice and remarkably funny. I found that Bofur was very protective of his hat though because whenever I tried to take it from him I thought I was going to get my arm chopped off. Bifur explained to me that it was very special to him because it was a gift from his mother. I nodded and we finished eating and walked outside to saddle up our ponies.
