Red Lips and a battle to boot
As far back as Catherine could remember her parents would call her Cat or Kate, but she thought it was formal for her new companions to call her Catherine. She also remembered she adored watching her mother put on red lips for formal balls. Cat had long dark hair and envy green eyes. She was tall and slender and always loved wearing dresses. In this setting however she wore pants, boots and a shirt with a jacket over it. Cat had started wearing red lips when she was 13, and she made sure to bring some on this journey.
Cat was worried telling Thorin about her visions of him, because she worried he would think her strange. After his tone with her earlier she decided she didn't care whether he believed her or not. Cat was here not just to change Thorin's future but to change the future for everyone. Smaug was not just a threat to the lonely mountain. If he was to awaken he could cause chaos to everyone in the world. She knew she would have to tread lightly around the topic of her visions to Thorin, so she asked to talk with him alone.
She would tell Thorin the whole version and tell the others a shorter one. "So what was so important that you had to talk to me alone first?" asked Thorin. "Do you always talk with this kind of mean tone to ladies? I am not one of your men who you can talk rough to. I am a lady, and ladies should be talked to with respect." Thorin replied "Just get it on with it we don't have time to be standing around here wasting time."
Cat was getting furious but she knew that wouldn't help. "Fine here it is. When I was 3 years old I had my first vision of the future or what I thought was something. It was of a little man with long dark hair and a beard. I didn't know who he was or what he was doing. I couldn't see a clear face of him and dismissed it. I have visions every other year and finally when I was 13 I figured out who it was. It was of you. When you came to Bloom four years ago I automatically recognized who you were and made an excuse not to see you. I was tired after having my vision right before your arrival, but mostly I wasn't sure if I should approach you. My mother thought it was best not to see you until the time was right." "What did you see?" Thorin asked intrigued. "I saw the battle of Smaug at the lonely mountain and if you are defeated. The world will be a terrifying place and everyone in it will die. But if you succeed you will be a great king."
Thorin was thrilled that he might have a chance of being a great king. Catherine interrupted his thought "I am here because I saw that I will be a key player into either the defeat of Smaug and your rise as King, or I might be the cause of the world's destruction. I had to take the risk of coming out here to help you, because I care so much about my family and my people that I might sacrifice myself for the good of all." For a moment Thorin looked right at Catherine, and she thought she had seen a little sorrow in his face. Before she could speak they all heard a twig snap. "Orcs are coming!" yelled Ori. Radgast offered to distract the Orcs while everyone else fled elsewhere.
Radgast save his pour soul directed the orcs in a big circle so Thorin and Company had to keep stopping to run in a different direction. One orc member stayed behind and Kili shot him with his arrow, but the others heard the demise of the orc. Thus a battle is beginning with the orcs. Cat knew it was time to prove herself. She brought her sword and her bow and arrow with her. Cat took out her bow and started shooting at the orcs. Kili looked at her in amazement, because in the group he was the only one good with a bow. "Well little girl you sure do know how to use that bow and arrow." Cat replied "Why yes this is my favorite way of destroying an enemy."
As the orcs came closer Cat also pulled out her sword and started slaying orcs. Even Thorin was impressed at her sword fighting skills. While all the other dwarfs followed Gandalf into a nearby safehaven, Kili and Cat kept on fighting. It was getting to the point where there was too many orcs coming at once. Thorin called out to them to come into the cave.
It was so dark in the cave Cat wished she had a torch, but instead she grab the person's arm who was in front of her. "Hey let go of me!" cried the voice. "Sorry, but I can't see anything really." "Fine! hold on tight then so you don't fall over." said the voice. As the group grew closer to seeing a light Cat realized whose arm she was latched onto. It was Thorin's arm, and she was surprised he let her cling on to him like that. "Thanks." said Cat. Thorin just rolled his eyes and walked away from her. Cat thought to herself why he doesn't like me?! As everyone gathered in the light Cat noticed there were in Rivendell.
