(Y/n) ran; she didn't care where her feet were taking her, all she knew was that she had to get away. Away from the looks from the Company, away from the heavy silence that was in complete contrast to the laughter that she had heard before she made her announcement. Tears streaming down her cheeks, as she continued into the night. The peredhel dwarf not caring if she ran straight out of Imladris, and never stopped.
She didn't know what to think, to feel. Her thoughts being bombarded by a hundred emotions, all of which seemed to be negative. A part of her wishing that Lord Elrond hadn't said anything; that she hadn't said anything. That her true lineage had remained a mystery. But as she had told the kind ellon, she had always had a feeling that one day she would find out the truth, and it better that the truth be told, no matter what it might mean for her. For even though Bungo and Belladonna would always be her parents; even though Bilbo would always be her brother, and she would always be a hobbit at heart; she could no longer hate what she had been born. Her birth parents not having abandoned her because they hated her, but because she had probably been taken from her dead mother; and telling everyone about them, showed them respect. And even though she might not have the same love for them as she did Bungo and Belladonna, she had sworn to respect them by no longer denying what she was.
Suddenly, she stopped. (Y/n)'s eyes widening, the breath catching in her throat, as she realised where she was; the beautiful little folly that she had seen in her vision. The folly where the dwarf and elleth had confessed their love and exchanged their tokens, that was surrounded by creeping tendril of ivy and the most perfect of night blooming flowers. The scent of honeysuckle and jasmine, thick, as she took in the scene. The peredhel dwarf dropping to her knees and praying to Ilmamë and Frór, to Bungo and Belladonna, asking for them to show her what to do next.
>>----------------------------------<<
Bilbo and the others had listened to (Y/n) tell them what she had found out about her birth parents, from Lord Elrond. The hobbit not really sure what to think, as she finished telling them, that not only was she a dwarf, which they had both always known; but that she was the daughter of a Durin prince. That she was a princess and was a cousin to Thorin, Fili and Kili. That, and she was half-elf. The information making him, and the others, stand there in astonishment, when she had finished. Yet before he could make his way to her, his sister had run; run into the night with tears streaming down her cheeks. Bilbo and some of the others shouting out her name, before she disappeared.
"She's lying........." The Company turning their attention to a rather angry looking Thorin. Bilbo feeling his own anger rise, at the dwarf's words.
"Why would she lie? Why would Lord Elrond lie? There is no benefit to either of them, to make this up. (Y/n) already knows you hate her; she already knows that you have wanted to send her back to the Shire, since we set off. She knows how much you hate elves and telling us that her birth mother was an elf, would be a perfect excuse for you to not want her to go any further. Yet still she told us, because she wanted us to know the truth; and I for one do not doubt her. I do not doubt that she is the daughter of your uncle. Now, if you will excuse me, I am going to find my sister." Bilbo said, before turning and making his way from the chamber; the dwarves turning to look at Thorin, who just huffed and walked off in the other direction.
>>---------------------------------<<
(Y/n) had been sat with her head in her hands, hoping that if she stayed like that long enough, the world around her might just disappear; and if it did, it would, with any hope, take her with it. Yet the sudden feel of a small hand being placed on her shoulder, caused her head to shoot up. Her eyes widening as she saw her brother.
"Do........do you hate me...........?"
"What? Why would I hate you, (Y/n)? You are my little sister, I love you." Bilbo told her, as he took a seat next to her and reached for her hand.
"I just.......I don't know, Bilbo. I don't want you to think I love mother and father any less, because I now know who my birth parents were. Bungo and Belladonna will always be my mother and father; you will always be my brother..........."
"And you will always be my sister. We knew that you were a dwarf, (Y/n); mother and father told us why you were different, from when we could understand. And just because you are an elf too, well, that just makes you even more special in my eyes. But no matter what, you will always be (Y/n) Baggins of Bag End. My little sister." Bilbo told her, before putting his arm around her. (Y/n) resting her head on his shoulder, just like she would do when she was little.
"Ahem......" A cough came. (Y/n) and Bilbo looking to see that the Company, minus one dwarf, were all stood there. Her heart beating wildly, as Fili and Kili looked at one another, before stepping forward.
