The company wash riding to mirkwood on the ponies Beorn provided 'protect the bunny' Beorns words rang in thorin mind "does he really need that much protecting" he mumbled. They arrived at the edge of the dark forest "release the ponies" Gandalf ordered. They took all their stuff off the animals back and tossed it on their own. Bilbo went to un pack gandalfs pony but he said "leave mine. I'll need him" bilbo turned to the wizard and frowned "your leaving?" Gandalf gave him a sad look "I'm afraid I have business else where" bilbo could understand why he needed to leave but did it have to be right before the forest. He turned away and stood next to Fili and kili as Gandalf got on his pony and rode away "stick to the path!" He yelled from a distance.
Bilbo stood next to thorin just to make sure they didn't lose their way. Being a dragon he wasn't effected by the magic of the forest like his companions "bilbo my head hurts" Kili complained. Bilbo looked back to him, he looked about ready to topple over "can you hold out a little longer? I know a clearing just a little north of here" he comforted. Kilis eyes looked so demanding "why can't you just fl-" he was interrupted by his brothers hand over his mouth. Bilbo mouthed a thank you to Fili before looking back to ori and bofur. The girl was leaning on her brother and bofur looked as weary as Kili. The dragon could hear thorin breathing heavily.
They won't last bilbo. Everything here may fear you but that won't save them from dark magic.
"Maybe if I call the elves" thorin turned around and gripped his shoulder "why would you!?" He demanded. Bilbo tensed his muscles "long story actually. They are scared of me" he explained. Thorin eyes widened in a questioning way "how?" Bilbo avoided eye contact "as I said long story but me and my brother sort of burned the elf kings face" the dwarf was dumbstruck. Kili and Fili looked at him in shock "how long ago was this?" They asked. Bilbo looked at the ground "before Smaug took erebor" he whispered. After the initial shock thorin put the hobbit down and they continued.
The company continued walking until a smell invaded his nose.
Elves
Bilbo came to an abrupt pause and pulled out his sword "bilbo what's wrong?" Bofur asked. The hobbit sized dragon pointed his sword at a seemingly at a random pointed in the forest "Legolas, tauriel! If you think you can hide the scent of you and your squad by covering yourself in oil, you are badly mistaken" he yelled. Suddenly figures shifted in the trees and elves sprang from the darkness. The dwarves brought there weapons out with adrenaline "lower your weapons! You are out numbered" the royal guard tauriel stated. Bilbo smirked and stated "but you are clearly out match" he said, his eyes glowing green.
They began to fight. The dwarves went defensive while bilbo took his sword,now named sting and slashed at the enemy. He was able to stop most of them from reaching the dwarves but thorin ran forward and charged at the elven prince however Legolas's reflexes are fast and within a blink of an eye, the dwarven king had a knife to his throat "surrender or he gets it" he shouted. Bilbo froze and looked at his king, he dropped his sword and held out his hands. Legolas looked at the other dwarves who had dropped their weapons also "bind the hobbit in chains and take him to my father. Take the dwarves to the cells!" He ordered.
Bilbos hands were bound with metal chains and he was forced to wear a mouth guard. He was stripped from the group to thorin dismay and brought before king thranduil. The elvish king looked at the hobbit "John. How have you been?" He cheered. Bilbo remained silent however his mind conflicted itself "I see this hobbit form is doing you well" anger welled in the hobbit, he could feel scales starting to harden on his back. Thranduil rubbed his hands along bilbos back and felt the scales that were protruding from his back "now now. No need to get angry old friend" he seductively rubbed the dragon in disguise. Bilbos eyes widened as sounds started to escape him "remember john the last time I did this to you" despite his deceiving word bilbo held his head high refusing give in. The elven king suddenly stopped seeing as his methods weren't working. He ordered one of the guards to take bilbo to a cell and to bring thorin in.
Give me a few minutes bilbo I'll get the dwarves out
The leader of the dwarves scowled as he was looked over by thranduil "who is he to you, the hobbit I mean?" He demanded. Thorin hissed at him "what's it to you?" Thranduil walked back up to his throne "nothing really. I just find it hard to believe you are his new alpha" thorin narrowed his eyes dangerously "his what?" He asked. Thranduil waved him off "it doesn't matter anyway let's talk business"
Thorin was thrown into a cell with bilbo "did he offer you deal?" Balin asked. Thorin didn't answer instead just grumbling. He turned around from the bars of the cell to see bilbo had huddled himself in a corner to make himself look as small as possible. Thorin walked closer to bilbo, it was faint but the dwarf could hear a soft whimper "bilbo are you ok?" He cooed. The hobbit shook his head, what's the point in saying your ok if you really aren't' he thought. Thorin placed himself next to bilbo and rubbed his back, the hobbit started to lean into him "I'm sorry. I just really need someone to hold me" he whispered into Thorin s chest. Thorin didn't dare move in case he disturbed the small creature clinging to him "bilbo what's wrong?" He finally asked. Bilbo looked up at thorin "just bad memories is all" he pushed himself further into Thorin, the dwarf king tensed his arms around him "what did they do to you?" Bilbo didn't answer.
Bilbo pushed his eyes open reluctantly. Apparently he had fallen asleep with thorin wrapped around him "feeling better?" A deep voice questioned. Bilbo jolted slightly not knowing Thorin was awake "yes fine" he stuttered pulling away from the dwarf with a small blush.
You like him
Bilbo stood up and pouted at his brothers tourmenting voice "how's about we get out of here?" He asked thorin holding his hand out. Thorin took it and bilbo pulled him up with ease. The hobbit walked to the cell door and gripped on to the bars and broke the door down without faulting. Thorins mouth hung open is surprise and a slight fear "come on. We will have to free the others before meeting up with Sherlock" he explained.
After freeing balin and dwalin who weren't far away from there cell and running into Fili and kili followed by the others, the dwarves made run for it. They headed towards the exit but elves descended upon them.
The dwarves turned their heads to bilbo "if you would be so kind as to let us pass through the forest" he looked over the elves "or would you like a repeat of last time with the addition of angry dwarves" he finished. Tauriel still didn't look deterred "your brother isn't here, you are not as strong" she declared "are you sure about that" everyone looked over to the new voice. Legolas who had a deathly look on his face as an 'elf' removed his armour revealing what all of them truly feared. He had black hair and blue eyes, his red undershirt was brought out by his long black trench coat "let them pass!" The elves prince yelled. The elves cleared a line and bilbo walk with the dwarves all the way to his brother.
"where have you been" he asked. Sherlock smirked "tourmenting thranduil" he answered.
Once out of the elfs range Sherlock went over to and stood next to Kili, Fili, Ori and bofur"now that where out of there hair. It is nice to finally meet you four"he greeted. Kilis face lit up "your actually his brother!? You are not what I expected at all. In the good why that is" He yelled. Sherlock gave him a small nodded "we are not related by blood but we treat each other like siblings" thorin looked back 'that explains why he dose not look like a hobbit' bilbo gave his brother a disapproving look "yeah if treat each other like siblings meaning leave your brother in hobbiton before running off to mirkwood" he didn't say it harshly more of a joke tone. Sherlock just smirked "well last time you left me in lake town so I believe it was my turn" thorin turned back around and looked at the two "lake town? It's near erebor." He looked intrigued. Sherlock looked at him and smiled "that is correct king under the mountain" he praised. Thorin eyes widened "no one told you who I was. How did you know?" The dragon looked sadly at the ground "I was friends with your grandfather, thror. Good man he was, always telling me about you when you were younger until he fell to sickness". Sherlock didn't look at thorin, luckily thorin didn't push the subject.
Thranduil sat on his throne as tauriel and Legolas stepped into the room "why haven't you captured the dwarves?" He decleared. Legolas stepped forward "its them father" the elven king sat a little straighter "the dragon brothers"
Thorin walked up beside bilbo as they walked, he was a little weary after what happened at the cells in mirkwood "your not a hobbit are you?" He asked. Bilbo smiled at thorin "nope. Not in the slightest"
