"Why do you cry" She asked again. I looked up at her, her face was gentle.

"Why don't they believe me. I've been through so much. The least they could do, is trust me" I said playing with grass.

"Dwarves aren't that easy to talk to. We are stubborn. Haven't we had this talk before"

"Maybe, but I just told them my story, my life, and what do they do. Okay  yes Balin, he's nice and understanding. I think Fili and Kili the brothers. I can see me becoming good friends with them, but my my there gonna be a hand full. Bilbo the hobbit, he seems nice but there's something about him that scares me. An evil that he beholds. And then everyone else, they dont like me because I'm pared with a dragon, come on." I stood up and began pacing "Your son, he's mostly the reason no one will give me a chance. He doesn't want me to come with them"

"Child see you made friends already. But as for my son what can I say, there are reason for his actions. But you know what you are to him. Please just give him a try"

(Thorin's POV)

There was something strange about her. Not a bad strange, yes she shared a soul with a dragon. But maybe she could help us. But her face, hair, smell its breath taking. I'm just being the biggest creep at this point in time. But I still didn't trust her, one she was..... IS engaged to Azog and she's almost half dragon.

"Look at that" I hears Dwalin say from the window. We all walked over and looked at what he was gazing upon. I got over in time to see Laci pacing and a white figure, off in the distance.

"Is that-" I started

"Yes it is but no don't go out there. The last time I did I got brunt pretty bad" Beorn spoke up

"I wasn't thinking about it" I said

"Not to you those two" he pointed to Fili and Kili. They saw that we were looking at them and put there heads down.

"Are you sure because look at her" Balin pointed. Gandalf and I ran over to the window. Sure enough Lacis hands were glowing and she looked like she was angry. Something was pulling me to her, that she needed me. I didn't listen, I ran out the door staight for her.

I heard yelling coming from behind me. I didn't have to look behind me to know the others were behind me. I crashed into her, wrapping her into a tight hug. I looked around to see everyone but Fili,Kili,Balin,Gandalf and Beorn with shocked faces. I quickly realized what I did and let go if her.

"We leave in the morning, if you wish to come. Than I suggest you get ready" I said than walked back until the house.

~~~~~

(Laci's POV)

He was there but again gone. I hope I got my point across to her, that he really doesn't care.

"You happy" I asked, wiping my tears "You see he doesn't care, no one does"

"Child please he came didn't he"

"Show yourself he's gone. I'm wasting my time, and you know that"

"They know my name Laci, but you may not. Not here not now" I sighed and turned to the company

"Well you heard her, if she appears do not say her name. Its not that I'm not worthy of it but Balin" I pointed to him "You know my people, and you know why"

"Ay I do, mother's names are special to the V'amour vrai. If I'm correct"

" L'amour Vrai, but close. But yes a fathers name is Nobel. But if you shall know a mothers name that it is only told to you by your L'amour Vrai or true love. She is respecting my peoples ways, that all. So please unless one of you are my l'amour vrai and I don't know about it. Than I suggest you don't say her name" they all nodded.

There was a bright flash and Thrains   wife appeared.

"Everyone hello, good to see you all again. And Laci my sweet pineapple, I can't stay to much longer. But I shall watch over you as always. I'll keep you safe the rest of the journey, until you find your true love. Then he'll protect you the rest of your life. Go enjoy the free world now, experience new things. Enjoy the light, yet again. And if you chose not to find your true love than I'll stay until you die, but please find him. I must be going, if you bless the world, than the world will bless you" with that she left again

"If you bless the world, than the world will bless you" Gandalf, Beorn and I said in unison

"Talk about weird" Kili laugh

"No Kili, it is love" I said turning to him "It comes in different was, but the best way is showing you care."

"Well lass, can we get food and we'll equate yourself. Since your now on the quest" the dwarve with the weird hat said

"Sure let's go" I laughed running to Beorn, who picked me up and put me over his shoulder. 

"I say too, Lac when was the last time you ate" Beorn asked

"Yesterday"

"No ate ate"

"The last time I was with you. You know I didn't get much food with them always eating flesh" he nodded ending the conversation.

We got back to the house. Everyone went there own ways, Beorn to start the food, Gandalf to take a quick nap, half the dwarves went to get drinks and overs went to Thorin. I sighed knowing I wasn't needed anywhere. So I took to the stairs and slugged to my little room Beorn had for me when I stayed.

I opened the door and pulled off my corset, throwing it on the bed. I stood in front of a mirror and pulled my stirt up to  reveal all the scars on my stomach. I pulled it off and slipped out of my pants and pulling on short shorts. Then returned to the mirror, I looked at all the scars and bruises that lined my body from head to toe. Thighs, stomach, arms, back, neck and one tiny one on my face. I felt a tear slip from my eye, than I fell to the floor in tears.

No a second later I felt three warm bodies around me, hugging me tight. I hugged but my than realize I didn't have a shirt on. I pulled away and run and put on one of Beorns large shirts.

"Did you guys see all of that" I asked as I wiped my face

"We only saw you staring in the mirror and then you fall to the floor crying." The hobbit said "By the way, my name is Bilbo if you didn't remember from this couple days ago"

"I remember and thank you Bilbo, Fili and Kili. I guess I just don't like it knowing I'll have these all my life, my past is suppose to be my past right but I have them on my body. I just hate it"

"If it helps you have an amazing body" Fili said

"Curves in all the right places, no hair on your face, plus your pur height" Kili said smiling

"Really you too, she a lady you don't talk to her like that" Bilbo warned

"Bilbo its okay trust me. Please don't tell anyone about this okay. I don't want anyone to know I look ugly."

"We will tell someone if you call yourself that again. Got us" I nodded "good FOOD TIME" Fili and Kili yelled running out of the room.

"Listen Laci, Fili and Kili aren't wrong you know that. I'm sorry you went through all of that but look at least your still alive. Some of those scars look deep but your still alive. I'll keep your secret and before you judge yourself like that again. Come too one of us okay" Bilbo smiled

"Thank you and yeah I will. I'm still use to this friend thing, so work with me. Now let's go eat" he nodded and we walked down stairs in silence. No the bad one no. It was pleasant, and calming.
