The Lionheart (The Hobbit)

Chapter 29: The dragons treasure

Tygr POV
Thorin took my hand trying to pull me through the door. I stopped though. "What's wrong?" He asked. "I don't feel right entering your mountain before all of you...it's your home." I said sheepishly, backing up slightly. Thorin them gently held my cheeks and forced me to look it him. "It's our home." He said before taking my hand and leading me in. The dwarves all followed closely behind. "Erabor." Thorin said. "Thorin..." I heard Balin say. I turned and saw him slightly choking up with emotion. Thorin smiled and places a hand on his shoulder. "I know these walls...these walls, this stone. You remember it, Balin. Chambers filled with golden light." Thorin asked. Balin nods. I watched Thorin run his hand over the wall, I could almost feel the memories coming back to him. "I remember." Balin says. We looked around then I noticed writing above the tunnel door. Though it was in Khuzdul. "What does that say?" I asked pointing at it. "Herein lies the seventh kingdom of Durin's Folk. May the heart of the mountain unite all dwarves in defense of this home." Dwalin said in reply. "Oh...wow..." I whispered. I went beside Bilbo who was looking at a carving in the wall. "The throne of the king." Balin said coming between us. "Oh, what's that above it?" Bilbo asked. "The Arkenstone." Balin said. "The Arkenstone...what is that?" Bilbo asked. "That Master Burglar...is why you are here." Thorin said. I looked back at Thorin then to Bilbo. Soon enough Balin took Bilbo to go speak with him and Thorin and I went off elsewhere.

I walked with Thorin down a short corridor then realized I was still wearing his coat. "Oh...hey can you help me with something?" I asked looking at him. He nodded. "Um...is there anywhere I could be able to get clothes...?" I asked. Thorin thought for a moment and nodded. "I believe we can get you some, follow me." He said taking my hand. I used one hand to hold his and the other keeping the coat from opening. We walked up various stairs and down hallways. "Where are we going?" I asked when we hooked a left and stopped. I watched him push open a large door that led to a bedroom....an extremely nice bedroom. By the way...when I say nice...I mean this room could chew up and spit out any room in Mirkwood. In my opinion. "Whoa...who's room is this?" I asked awestruck. I looked at the ceiling that had various rubies, sapphires, diamonds and emeralds showing. "This is my room." He said. I turned and looked at him, sort of shocked actually. "Really? I would think this would be your sisters room." I said. Thorin raised an eyebrow at me with a grin as he seemed to rummage through a closet. "Okay...one, why would you think that? And two how did you know I had a sister." He asked. "Aren't Kili and Fili your nephews....?" I asked. He nodded, "yes well they could have been my brothers." He said. I laughed, "well now I know you have a sister and a brother." I laughed. Thorin laughed and stood holding up a shirt. It was a v neck light shirt, rather small. "This was mine when I was younger...it should fit you." He said. "It's so pretty!" I said taking it. He nodded, "it's yours if you like." He said kissing my forehead. "Awe~thank you!" I said as I was about to drop the coat. I stopped and froze. "C-can you turn around...please?" I asked. He looked shocked. "Why?" He asked. "Well, I have no clothes on under here...and I'm self-conscious." I said blushing. Thorin looked utterly surprised but turned around. "Thank you." I dropped the coat and slipped on the shirt. It went down to my mid thigh...and the v neckline...showed of my breasts nicely. "I blushed and crossed my arms over my chest. "Do you have it on?" He asked. "Yeah..." I said. He tuned around and grinned then that grin faded. "What? Does it look bad?" I asked. He shook his head then went back into his closet before pulling out a belt. He fastened it around my waist, making the shirt accent my hips and curves. "Oh, huh this looks way better." I said smiling. "Why are your arms crossed?" He asked. I felt my face heat up and dropped my arms, showing him how exposed my chest really was. "Oh...um...I can fix that. Take off the shirt. I'll close my eyes I promise." He said as he did so and turned around. "I quickly pulled it off and handed it to him. I pulled back on his coat to hide myself in the meantime. I looked over his shoulder and saw that he was sewing leather string criss cross through the v neck to pull it a little tighter, as to not show as much. "Here, try that." He said as he tied the ending into a bow at the bottom. I nodded and took it from him before putting it back on. I fastened the belt around my waist, admiring the Dwarvish pattern on it. The V-neck still showed my chest but not as much and the way he did it made them look bigger actually. "It's so cute!" I said happily. Thorin laughed. I looked in the mirror and smiled at myself. "We should go check on Mr. Baggins." Thorin said holding a hand out to me. I skipped over and grabbed his hand happily following him.

We rejoined the company to see them all waiting. "I like your outfit Tygr!" Kili said with a smile. I smiled and nodded, "thanks~ how's Bilbo?" I asked. "We don't know, we haven't heard anything." Bofur said. I instantly felt worried. "Can I go check on him?" I asked looking at Thorin. "Absolutely not!" Thorin said, almost possessively. "Thorin...maybe you should. She could talk to Smaug...she does have a way with dragons." Bofur said speaking to. Thorin had a reluctant look on his face. "Promise me you will be careful?" He asked. I nodded, "of course." I said before running off down the hall to the treasure room. I soon heard the sound of gold being thrown and tossed and the sound of a rumbling voice. "Come now, don't be shy. Step into the light. Mmm, there is something about you, something you carry. Something made of gold, but far more....precious." He growled. "Is that's Smaug?" I asked myself. "There you are, thief in the shadows." I heard him say before Bilbo replied in a panicked manner. "I did not come to steal from you, O Smaug the Unassessably Wealthy. I merely wanted to gaze upon your magnificence, to see if you really were as great as the old tales say. I did not believe them." Bilbo said. "Do you think I am a fool?! I can smell the dwarves outside. How many are there?" He asked. I panicked and ran into Smaug's sight. "Actually! That's me!" I said. I was blown away at how utterly massive he was. "And who...are you." He said lowering his head looking into my eyes. "M-my name is Tygr. I am a skin-changer." I said. "You have a black scale around your neck." He said. I nodded, "yes, it is my dragons. She gave it to me so I could communicate with her." I said. Smaug looked amused. "You...you have a dragon?" He asked. I nodded. "Well, where is your dragon now skin-changer?!" He asked sitting up, puffing out his strong chest. "I-I don't know." 'Oh mahal where is Echo?!?!' I screamed in my head. Suddenly Smaug inhaled deeply. "You smell of dwarf." He snarled. I quickly thought for a moment. "That reason being because my clothes ripped and I stood this from one of the bedrooms here." I said gesturing to Thorin's shirt that was on me. Smaug looked rather displeased then looked at Bilbo. "Now, where do your dwarf friends hide? I am no fool." Smaug growled. "Dw- Dwarves? No, no, no dwarves here. You've got that all wrong.." Bilbo said. "Yeah! There are no dwarves!" I said. "Oh, I don't think so, barrel-rider. They sent you in here to do their dirty work while they skulk about outside." Smaug growled at Bilbo. "Barrel rider?" I asked him. "Truly, you are mistaken, O Smaug, Chiefest and Greatest of calamities." Bilbo said ignoring me. "You have nice manners...for a thief and a liar! I know the smell and taste of dwarf. No one better. It is the gold! They are drawn to treasure like flies to dead flesh." Smaug growled. I felt my anger begin to rise bit kept my composure. We then saw the shining arkenstone fly by as Smaug stomped his massive feet on the ground. "Did you think I did not know this day would come, when a pack of canting dwarves would come crawling back to the mountain?!" Smaug yelled. "I know the king under the mountain! Oakenshield! I took his throne! I ate his people like a wolf among sheep!" Smaug yelled. "The Arkenstone isn't even the most precious thing to him!" I heard Bilbos panicked voice sound. "What? What is it? His most precious treasure." Smaug asked. Bilbo panicked and stayed silent, I saw sweat drip. "M-me..." I stuttered. "What?" Smaug asked looking at me? His nose inches away from me. "I-I am." I said. In an instant Smaug's massive tail wrapped around my waist. "LET ME GO!!!" I screamed. "You...are mine now." He growled. My eyes widened as I tried to wiggle my way out of his grasp but failed. 'ECHO HELP ME!!!!' I screamed in my head, hoping she heard me.

Thorin POV

"LET ME GO!" I heard Tygrs piercing scream. "Tygr!" I said worried before trying to run to her, only to be stopped by Dwalin. "Just wait a minute!" He said. "SHELL BE DEAD BY THEN!" I yelled. I broke out of his grasp and ran only to run right into Bilbo who was knocked down by me. "You!" I yelled picking his up by the collar of his shirt lifting him off the ground. "Tygr. Where is she?!" I snarled. "Smaug! He's claimed her as her treasure because I panicked and said there was something more precious to you than the Arkenstone and I didn't know what to say so she winged it and said it was herself...so Smaug took her as his own treasure." Bilbo said looking terrified and worried. "W-what?!" I yelled. "Smaug claimed her as his treasure?!" Fili asked concerned. Bilbo nodded. Suddenly an ear piercing scream rung from Tygrs lungs. My heart began pounding with worry as I tried to think of what to do. Suddenly the floor shook ask Two white claws grasped the sides of the hidden door. Echo then ran in through the tunnel, looking furious and deadly. "E-echo?!" Dwalin asked. She flew past us...and towards the treasure room, I quickly followed behind.
