Chapter Two
I awoke to Fili shaking my shouder. "Come on, time to get up." He said in a sleepy voice before heading out the round little door of the hobbit hole. Groaning I stood up and reajusted my wepons on my person. I headed to the pantry and grabbed and apple. Taking a bite out of it, I headed outside to find 13 dwarfs on ponies. Finding it quite amusing to see the King Under The Mountain struggling to get on his pony. I snorted and walked down the steps. "Dont you need a pony?" Thorin asked eyeing me. "No, but that you for your consideration." I replyed.
((HUNGER GAMES REFRANCE XD))
I shifted into an adult lioness. I smirked at seeing all the dwarfs looking at me in awe, Thorin especcially. "Lets get going." he said gruffly, turning away from me. We rode for what seemed like hours. Being the fun person I am I walked up next to Kili beofre shifting into a girl. "I bet 15...no make that 20 gold coins that the hobbit will show." I said proudly as I walked next to him. "Oh your on." Kili said grinning. Rolling my eyes I shifted back into an adult lioness and procedded to walk more toward the front of the group.
Just as I was losing hope that the little hobbit would show I hear a faint voice. "Wait! Wait!!" The voice said. I turned to see none other than Bilbo Baggins running towards us. I smirked and shifted to a girl. "So glad you could make it Bilbo." I said clapping an arm around his shoulder. Bilbo handed the contract to Balin who took out a small eye glass and begain reading over it. "Well, all seems to be in order, Welcome Master Baggins to the company of Thorin Oakensheild." Balin said as he folded the paper up.
'Give him a pony." Thorin said beofre tunring and signalling to move on. Bilbo started to protest but Fili and Kili grabbed him and placed him on a pony. I shifted into a lioness and walked more towards the front of the group. I walked between Thorin and Gandalf until it was dark. "Alix my dear, do you mind running ahead and scouting for a place to stay the night?" he asked nicley. I roared as a response and sprinted ahead of the group. I ran for about a mile until I found a cliff side with a small cave area. 'This will do' I thought and sprinted back to the company.
Shifting back to a girl I told Gandalf of the place I found and he nodding in thanks. Once we got settled there I sat on a log near the fire and ate some stew Bombor was making. I was about to take another bite when a screech in the distance was heard. Setting my stew down and grabbed the hilt of my sword. "What was that?" Bilbo asked nervously. "Orcs." Kili said in a low voice. "Or- Orcs?" Bilbo said with a sacred voice."Throat-cutters, there will be dozens of them out there. The low lands are crawling with them." Fili said. Kili them chimed in "They strike in the dead of night, quick and quiet, no screams, just lots of blood."
There was a pause and them both boys starte to snicker. "You think thats funny? You think a night raid by orcs is a joke? You think KILLING is a joke?!" I said as I stood up from where I was. I sighed and walked over to the cliff edge and sat down, dangling my legs over the side. "We didnt mean anything by it." Kili said with his head low, ashamed. "Of course you didnt you know nothing of the world." Thorin huffed. He came and sat with me as Balin re-told the tale of how Azog killed his grandfather, and his father.
I sighed and looked up at the stars, four stars in-particular. I smiled as i saw four of them grouped close together. "What about the pale Orc?" Bilbo piped up. "He slunk back into the hole from where he came, that filth died of his wounds long ago." Thorin said in a low voice. "I hope so." I muttered as i played with a braclet my father game me for a birthday present. 'How do you know of Azog." Thorin asked. I looked up at him and out eyes met i sighed as i begain to tell him my past, somthing few people know of.
------------------------Flashback------------------------
I smiled as my mother spun my around to the music. Our village was having a feast for the stars. "Mommy?" I asked her as she set me down. "Yes dear?" she asked back. "May I go dance with Mality?" I asked giving her my best puppy dog eyes. 'Yes, Be carefull" she said back as I shifted into a baby lioness and ran to where my older sister was. We danced around until we could dance no longer.
We were heading to the house where the food was until a blood-curtling scream drowned out all the sound of the feast. People stood still waiting for something to happen. Then a whoosh flew past me and a arrow hit a man in the chest. I screamed as did everyone else as at least a hundred orcs flooded into our village. The males shifted into there forms and tried to fight the orcs off, but it was no use, there were to many.
My sister carried me to my mother, father, and other sister Gilri. I buried my face in my mother shoulder as she gave me a white dagger. "Go into the fores and hide, understand? We must help to fight them." She said as she handed me the dagger. I took it with shaking hands and hugged them all. "Wait, wheres Beorn?" I asked them, not know where my older brother was. "He is fighting, now go into the forest, Hurry!" she said. So I ran into the forest as se told me, and I ran until I couldnt run anymore. I thought i was safe so I walked slower until I heard a snap behind me.
A orc ran towards me and kicked the dagger from my hands. I kicked in the face but it didnt give up, it kept coming after me. I backed up until my back was on a tree and i curled up in a ball waiting for death. A heard a clash of metal agianst metal and i dared to open my eyes. A man with grey robes, a grey hat, and a staff. I backed up and whimpered slightly as he extended his hand out to me. "I mean you no harm." He said kindly. I looked in his eyes searching for some sort of madness. All i could see was love and happieness in the old mans blue eyes.
I slowly reached out my hand and he helped me to my feet. "Might I ask what you are doing out here alone?" he asked. I lifted my shirt so he could see my back, the marking on my back. I then pointed to the orc unable to form words. "Ah, your a skin changer, and orcs. Orcs attacked your village?" he asked. I nodded. "Well I cant leave you here alone now can I. I am Gandalf the Grey, I am a wizard, He said smiling. "I- im....Alix" I said in a soft voice. "Nice to meet you Alix, Now dear tell me would you like to go see if anyone survived the village attack?" He asked as he stood up. I nodded and he smiled "Alright then, come on." he said ushering me towards a horse. Once he was mounted he extended his hand for me to climb on. "Oh i can...walk..or run rather." I said. Before he could reply I Shifted into a tween lioness.
He smiled as he kicked his horse and we set off towards the village. As we arrive I sprinted ahead of Gandalf and towards my now burning house. I shifted into a girl as we aproached my house. I slowly turned the handle and opened the door. I fell to the ground sobbing as I saw my mother laying in a pool of blood with a arrow in her chest and one in her stomach. I looked over to see my father laying beside her dead also. Their hands were almost touching.
I walked into my sisters room too find Gilri dead on the floor also. I ran to Beorns room only to find he wasnt there. 'I hope he is somewhere safe.' iIthought. I ran outside to look for Mality. "MALITY!" I screamed. I heard a faint groan to the side and sprinted over there to see my older sister under the body of a dead warg. "Mal." I said sobbing as I cradled her face in my hands. "Dont..worry alix...you'll be strong.." She said softly as she placed her hand on my face and wiped away the tears. "You promised me a hunting lesson Mal." I said half joking. She smiled and laughed softly. 'You will do just fine..my Golden hunter." She said, with that she took her breath and her head fell limply to the side.
I sobbed into her chest until I felt a hand on my back. "Come my dear, I am heading to Rivendell. Come with me, I am sure the elves will care for you until you are ready to head out on your own." Gandalf said gently. I walked away from my village and shifted to a lioness and ran behind gandalf galloping horse. Once we reached Rivendell Elrond took me in like a father and Arwyn took me in as a sister.
Once I was older i set off on my own, much to Elronds despise, and set out in the world alone. I wondered for many years, ocasionally getting to see Gandalf. I became know as The Golden Hunter, and here I am today.
--------------------------------end of flashback--------------------------------------------
I didnt relize tears had been falling down my face until i snapped back into reality. I turned to see Thorin staring at me with his eyes filled with saddness and empathy. I smiled sadly and wiped the tears away. As I stood all the dwarfs were staring at me wide eyed and a look of sadness on there faces."So your The Golden Hunter?" Kili asked in disbelief. I smiled and nodded before I walked over to Gandalf who sat by a rock. "I am going into the forest, I need to be alone for a while." I said as my voice cracked. He only nodded sadly as I shifted into a lioness and sprinted into the forest.
I ran for what seemed like forever until i came to a clearing. I shifted to a girl as rage boiled within me. Rage for orcs, for not saving my mother and father, and for not saving my sisters. I screamed and punched a tree until my hand was compleatly covered in blood. I sat down and leaned against a tree. I stood up and thought 'Come on, pull yourself together. The company will be worried.' With that I shifted to a lioness and looked to see my paw covered in blood like my hand. I walked back to the company and was alomst tackled when they saw me.
'Yup, They worried.' i thought to myself as I shifted into a girl again. I sat down away from everyone else until Thorin came up behind me. He didnt say snything just wrapped an arm around me and let me openly cry into his shoulder. He pet my hair as i cryed. 'Shh..Hey..its gonna be fine...it gonna be okay.' he said softly. I leaned back and wiped my tears with my not bloodie hand. That when he saw my hand. "What happened?" he asked taking me hand. "punching trees happended." I said laughing softly.
He shook his head and stood to get some healing supplies. Once my hand was bandaged he sat back down. "Thanks." I mumbled. He grunted as a response. I stood and went to my bed roll, though sleep never came that night. I just laid awake listening to nature, and dwarfs snoring.....
