It was becoming dark and Lyavain ran as fast as she could. She had taken together her things, sword and knifes as she sensed something evil come. When she had got to the top of the hill she saw the Fellowship down the hill and behind them, far behind them were Wargs. She ran as fast as she could down the hill and the Fellowship saw her come running down. They got worried as she didn't slow down and speed up. Legolas turned and saw the Wargs. "Wargs!" He said and drew his bow. Lyavain ran passed them and crashed into the Wargs. She bite one's head off. Continued on the others as they stopped and made a circle around her, Legolas helped her and so did Aragorn, Boromir, Gimli and Gandalf. A Warg took a grip on Lyavain's waist and was going to bite hard, but it got killed by an arrow. Lyavain looked at the arrow then at Legolas. That was mine. She thought. Aragorn and Boromir killed one and Gimli took one and they all twelve was dead when Lyavain killed the last one.
The fellowship stood there and looked at her. "Where did the Wargs come from?" Boromir asked and looked the way they did come from. From North.
Frodo walked closer to her. "Are you alright?" He asked. Lyavain looked at the little scratch she saw he looked at in her shoulder. Aragorn came and checked it. In the next seconds it healed. Frodo as the other Hobbits looked wide eyed. "How did you do that?"
"I can heal myself in wolf form. You don't always have to check my wounds all the time Aragorn" she said to him after she turned.
"If you stop getting yourself hurt I will" Aragorn said.
"The Wargs came from Misty Mountain. They live there, few of them. But I've seen more and more travel south to Isengard. Where are you all heading?" She asked breath-taking.
"Moria. Travel over Caradhras did not work. Saruman knew where we were heading" Gandalf said and Lyavain nodded.
"Come with us" Frodo said. She looked at him and then at Legolas for a short moment.
"Not this time Frodo, but I will go north and see if it is any more Wargs left. I am heading that way anyway" Lyavain said.
"Stay till dawn" Gandalf said. "We are setting up camp soon." Lyavain nodded. She helped finding them a nice hideout and they rolled out blankets and set up fire.
Aragorn and Legolas came back unlucky not finding any deer or rabbits. "Where is Lyavain?" Legolas asked.
"She went to find a deer" Merry said. Lyavain came back with a deer, one leg she had eat herself. "There she is." Sam got ready with food for all. "How was it becoming a werewolf?" Merry asked.
Lyavain didn't quite sure what to answer. She remembers the night. She looked at Legolas, did he remember? "Painful" she said. "I was confused first, but I needed blood so I killed most likely all the animals in the area. Legolas woke me up near a river, everything was blurry then." Lyavain looked in the fire as she could picture everything in that.
After couple of hours the Fellowship lay down to sleep. "Now it would be nice with nice song" Pippin said looking up on the stars.
Lyavain started to sing a calm and beautiful song when the Fellowship lay down to sleep.
"Lay down
your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You have come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore
Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do those white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come
To carry you home
Safe in my arms
Just sleeping."
Lyavain stopped singing when she saw them all had fallen to sleep. She stood up and walked out of the forest they were in. They had only set up camp few meters in there. She stood there watching the wild.
"I've never meant to hurt her" Lyavain heard Legolas whisper to Aragorn. "I tried telling my father not to order the Elves to attack her. But he did not listen, he didn't want to listen. I was never there when she entered the forest. But I heard Elves talk about it. I can't stop thinking why she was coming to Mirkwood all the time and now she doesn't trust me."
"She will Legolas" Aragorn whispered back. "She only needs to know the truth. I do think she trusts you; it is just hard for her showing it and think it herself. Especially after all that has happened." A cold wind came blowing over the field and into the forest, almost letting the fire go out. Lyavain knew it now, but she never thought it. She turned herself to a wolf because that is when she is most warm and walked to Legolas. She lay down behind him who sat near the fire and went to sleep. Legolas lay down so he had his over body rested against Lyavain. Lyavain opened her eyes and took her head up to Legolas. He pet her behind the air. "You are like a dog sometimes" he whispered smiling. Lyavain sneezed like she couldn't hear what he say and lay her head down and fell right away to sleep.
