Chapter 9- On Our Way

The company had been there for a few days resting and filling their stomachs. That night Thorin, Balin, Bilbo, Lord Elrond and Gandalf were going to have a meeting discussing the map. They were walking away when Gandalf grabbed my arm and pulled me along with him, signaling for me to join them. I didn't really want to be here since Thorin and I weren't on good terms so I lingered in the corner staying out of the dwarves and elves feud going on.

"Thorin you are in the company of the one of the few people on Middle Earth who can read that map."

"These are my secrets to keep and I will not have any elf reading them."

"Save me from the stubbornness of dwarves." Gandalf was frustrated and Thorin was close to being pissed, so Gandalf's solution was to have me intervene.

"Perhaps Ida you could push him along." He whispered in my ear knowing that I owed him and I would do it. I gritted my teeth and glared at Gandalf while making my way over to Thorin.

"If you won't give Lord Elrond the goddamn map then I will pry it from your hands while you lay on the ground unconscious. It's your choice." I hissed in his ear seeing his back stiffen and practically feeling the angry rolling.

"If you think you can command me to do anything-" He was cut off as I grabbed his tunic and slammed him into the column following through on my threat. It became dead quiet no one dared to move from their spot. I held him there hoping that he would give me the map, which he did with a grumble. As I gave Lord Elrond the map he gave me a sideways glance, but didn't say anything. I walked back to my corner next to Gandalf.

"I hope you're happy, because I have now made the King under the mountain and enemy."

"No my dear, he is just pissed off at you, but he is not an enemy, at least not yet."

"Thank you for your encouraging words."

"Moon runes… Fortune has smiled upon you Thorin Oakenshield. It seems fate has wanted you to come here on this day." I felt that my job was done, and not wanting to invade anymore I left to pack. I walked to where the dwarves had made a fire and were roasting meat that they had found. I sat at the edge just enjoying the company. It was a bout fifteen minutes later when they returned from their meeting. Surprisingly Thorin grabbed the back of my shirt and threw me across the room.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT! DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT, I AM YOUR KING!" The room had frozen for the dwarves weren't sure who to defend their king or a goddess, so they just stayed quiet.

"NOT MY KING THORIN OAKENSHILED, and I suggest you remember that next time, because next you try to pull rank on me I won't hold back." I could feel my angry start to boil and dark mist started weaving its way from the small of my back to my hands. Noticing this the dwarves started to back away fearing what might happen. A growl escape from my throat and the animalistic need to hunt and kill started to emerge.

"Ida!" Gandalf had entered hearing the commotion. He knew what was happening as soon as he entered. By now I had gained enough humanity to know that I need to leave and get myself under control. So, I jumped over the balcony and into the woods to do some hunting. I shifted into a wolf and gave a long howl and was off.

Third Person:

"You fools! She could have killed you." Gandalf was pissed off that he couldn't leave the dwarves and Ida alone for five minutes without someone getting pissed off. The dwarves were still shaken up and slowly regaining themselves.

"Wh-what j-just happened Gandalf?" Bilbo was the first to speak, but still terrified.

"Her anger gave into the darkness, and since she hasn't killed in a while she was too weak to resist. So next time don't piss her off." With one last glare at Thorin he left the room.

"Make sure your bags are packed, we leave at first light."

I was lying up in a tree overlooking the dwarfs' temporary room. After Thorin and I's little spat I kept my distance from them, for I was not welcomed expect by Bilbo and Gandalf. The sun was just starting to rise over the horizon.

Ida there has been a call of the White Council to meet. I need you to lead the dwarves through the Misty Mountains. I will meet you once I am finished here.

He's going to be there isn't he?

I fear he might. I will not let him harm you.

Thank you, Gandalf.

A since tear escaped my eye. I was scared for what he might do to me, after all I had been running for centuries. I was forced to pull myself together because by now that dwarves were packing up and moving out.

"Where's Gandalf?" Dori was looking around. I gracefully jumped down from my branch onto the balcony where the dwarves had gathered.

"He will meet us later." All the dwarves jumped and whipped around.

"Thorin appears and grunts his approval, not acknowledging my existence beyond that.

"We move out and make for the Misty Mountains." Thorin started for the path while the other dwarves fell into line; I stayed at the back lingering, not wanting to intrude. I glanced back towards Rivendale feeling the presence of Horus somewhere in the home. Shuddering I shake it off and move on knowing that this was not going to be an easy trip now that he knew I was here.

Hey guys! So sorry it took me forever to update, I was busy with college stuff. I decided to make Ida and Thorin's relationship a little tense. They both have really short tempers and baggage. Don't worry I will be revealing Ida's past with Horus. I don't own anything expect my characters. Thanks, read and review!
