{Hey guys this is more of a filler but next chapter is super long so can't wait to post it! I have two stories on a trial run, a Steve Rogers (Captain America)/OC, a Daryl Dixon (Walking dead)/OC. If I don't feel like it's going anywhere by the fifth or sixth chapter I will discontinue it. Same applies to any others anybody wants me to take on. I do not own anything from The Hobbit only my own characters and anything else that you do not recognize.}

I was having one of those dreams of the little girl that I was sure was me but this time was different. It was dark but even in the dark I could see the bodies that littered the floor. That wasn't what had my attention the little girl was almost glowing with an aura that was almost pulsing like a heartbeat. I was behind her and all I saw was her hair rising and falling as the air moved around her as she stood completely still. The immense power I felt was making my skin crawl as I walked towards her. My body froze as I walked around her to face her, her eyes were a dark red and she just stared ahead of her not blinking. Blood was splattered against her skin and I took a step away from her. Is this what I look like when I accessed that power? Or have I only tapped into a small amount? I looked around me at the people who were literally everywhere, did I do this? "Arabelle!" A female voice yelled for the girl

I turned to see the same woman and her husband from the farmhouse. They were watching her carefully not daring to move to fast to her. They almost looked scared and I had a horrible feeling bubbling in my stomach. I looked back to the girl and yet she still didn't move, her eyes locked in front of her and her power not ceasing. While the male knelt in front of her the woman stayed behind a little. "It's okay we are here there is no need to use your power." He tried to coax her to calm down but yet she still did not move

When she didn't answer or even look at them, the man reached forward to touch her shoulder and it wasn't until then that her head snapped to face him her eyes boring into him. He immediately pulled back and grunted in pain. I moved to get a better look at what made him pull away and I saw the burn that was beginning to welt on his palm. They looked at each other unsure of what to do and I felt my heart race with fear. Is this what I am capable of? Then the woman pushed past the man and knelt in front of the girl's eye line. "Arabelle, we are not going to hurt you baby. This isn't you, this isn't who you are. You are no longer in danger, mom and dad are here and we will not let any harm come to you."

I blinked in their direction, "What!" I hissed

These were my parents, I was right all along. As my mother's words soothed the little girl, her eyes began to change into their normal blue and the air was no longer tense as her hair fell to her shoulders. The little girl's bottom lip trembled as she looked at the damage that she caused around her. He cries echoed in the night as she repeated how sorry she was and curled into her mother and fathers arms…my mother and father.

I woke up with a gasp and jolted right up out of the bed. I looked around me to see that no one was sleeping and judging by the quiet conversations in the other room everyone was presently awake. I frown as I stared at where I had fallen asleep with Thorin. I had taken comfort in the fact that when I slept with Thorin my nightmares and dreams were nonexistent. I stood up and wrapped my arms around my body wishing it was just a bit warmer as I walked to meet with the others. "So you are the one they call Oakenshield tell me why is Azog the Defiler hunting you?" Beorn voiced traveled towards me

"You know of Azog how?" Thorin voice asked suspiciously

I yawned before I answered for Beorn as I came around the corner to face everyone, "Beorn and his kind were among the first to live in the mountains. That was before the Orcs came down from the north. Azog killed most of his family and enslaved others."

Everyone looked at me startled at my sudden appearance except for Beorn who continued to pour milk into cups. "Good morning little bird, the defiler enslaved us not for work you understand but, for sport. Caging skin changers and torturing them seemed to amuse him." Beorn greeted me before continuing on with the conversations.

I walked over and took the cup he was offering me and tried not to moan as the liquid slid down my throat. It had been many years since I had milk as good and fresh as this. "There are others like you." Bilbo asked

"Once there were many." Beorn answered

I looked up to him and could see the sadness in his eyes but along with that sadness was hatred. We were safe here for the main reason that even though Beorn hated dwarves his hatred and mutual feelings towards Azog outweighed his hatred towards the company. "And now?" Bilbo continued to ask

My eyes turned sharp towards Bilbo wishing he would just leave the subject alone. Beorn placed a hand on my shoulder telling me it was okay, "Now there is only one." Beorn answered

Everyone looked around uncomfortably and I looked towards Thorin who was watching us carefully. I could tell he understood that we were not lovers but it still seemed he hadn't figured out the relationship I held with Beorn. "You need to reach the mountain before the last days of autumn?" Beorn changed the subject as he sat down away from us

"Before Durins day falls yes." Gandalf answered

"You are running out of time." Beorn eyes never wavered from Gandalf's

"Which is why we must go through Mirkwood." Gandalf replied

My eyes snapped up to Gandalf's, not even Beorn ventured far into those woods. I thought back to when I lived here and how those woods would call out to the darkest corners of my mind and pull at the powers I had worked so hard to make lay dormant. "A darkness lies upon that forest fell thing creep beneath those trees. There is an alliance between the orcs of Moria and the necromancer in Dol Guldur. I would not venture there except in great need." Beorns eyes hardened

"We will take the Elven Road that path is still safe."

"Safe the wood elves of Mirkwoood are not like their kin not to mention the past they share with you do you think it wise? They're less wise and more dangerous but it matters not."

"What do you mean?" Thorin interrupted their conversation

"These lands are crawling with Orcs their numbers are growing and you are on foot. You will never reach the forest alive." Beorn answered

Thorin looked at me before facing Gandalf shocked. Beorn turned to fully face Thorin, "I don't like dwarves, they're greedy and blind, blind to the lives of those they deem lesser than their own," my body tensed at the hostility in Beorns voice thinking that maybe we weren't safe here with him. Slowly Beorn stood up and made his way to Thorin as a mouse had begun to scurry across the table and quicker than I could have anticipated Beorn picked up the mouse in his hand and walked over to Thorin who crossed his arms, "But orcs I hate more and you are in the company of little bird, what do you need?"

"Food and some of your ponies and safe passage to the woods."

"Whether I give you safe passage you have the woods to worry about but, what you ask for is something I can help with." Beorn answered

~~HOBBIT~~

I was the last person to finish packing my things. So Beorn came to speak with me it was just him and I in the small cottage. "Little bird you look tired, have you not been sleeping?"

I stood up to face him and gave him the best smile I could, "It's hard to sleep with Azog chasing us."

"That is not what I mean," Beorn stepped towards me and his fingers caressed my face for a second, his eyes worried as they bore into mine, "I can see it your actions and eyes tell me many things, you are exhausted your powers are leaking through. The closer you get to those evils the worse it gets."

I bit my lip in frustration, I could never keep anything from him "I have used them more on this journey than any others. Yes the forest calls to those parts of me as it always has but, memories have begun to leak through Beorn. I am not sure if I want to know what power I do possess. The idea scares me and I fear the more I travel the worse it will become."

"Then perhaps it is time that you leave the company?"

I looked at the ground before looking to the open door thinking of the company and Thorin "I can't, not yet I need answers and…and I made a promise."

He nodded his head and dropped his hand to his side, "I understand I am sending Acapella with you."

A smile exploded across my face and I jumped up and down with glee. Acapella was the best horse I had ever had the pleasure to know. She was a wild horse that was injured and me and Beorn brought her back to the cottage and raise her and made her healthy all over again. She had formed an attachment to me and Beorn, no one to this day has been able to ride her. Beorn placed an arm at the middle of my back and pushed me forward out of the house. When I had come outside everyone was saddling up and my eyes searched for Acapella. I felt something nuzzle my back a little and I turned to face the beautiful black and white horse. I instantly grabbed her face and placed mine beside hers. She placed her head on my shoulder and an instant feeling of calm rushed over me. "Believe me when I say she has missed you to." Beorn whispered as he placed my saddle over her back

Acapella pulled away from me and I walked around pulling myself onto her. Beorn gave me one more nod before facing the group, "Go now while you have the light, the hunters are not far behind."

As everyone began to turn to ride to the forest, I looked one last time at Beorn, "Please be careful, you are like a father to me and I could not bear knowing you died to protect us."

Beorn said nothing but nodded as he swatted the back of Acapella and we took off after the others. It wasn't until I turned to face the group that I realized that Thorin had stayed behind with me and had overheard our conversation. We road fast to the forest not pausing once to look behind us. We had reached the forest within the hour but, the closer we got the harder the darkness in me begged to be released. I could feel my powers wavering and it was as if something was battling in me to keep it at bay. Gandalf was the first to dismount and walked to the beginning of the path, "The Elven gate, here lies our path through Mirkwood." Gandalf explain as he turned to face us

Some of the dwarves began to dismount but my hand tightened on the reins trying not to give in. "No sign of the orcs we have luck on our side." Dwalin said

"Set the ponies loose let them return to their masters." Gandalf ordered

I slowly began to dismount Acapella but I wavered on my feet and grabbed onto her for stability. Acapella nuzzled into my chest and I knew she was worried. I wouldn't let her go, she was all I had to keep myself stable at that moment. "This forest feels sick as if a disease lies upon it. Is there no way around?" Bilbo's voiced concern

"Bell?" Thorin voice called out to me

He stood beside me and was trying to get me to face him. I was breathing hard and I looked to him and I could see the fear and worry in his eyes. "Your eyes Bell?"

"What?" I asked

"There red, what's wrong?" Thorin asked

I shook my head, "It's nothing I will be fine."

I pulled Acapellas reins towards the opening in the field before I kissed the side of her face and smacked her behind to send her home with the rest of the ponies. I could see Beorns beast form watching over us and took comfort in the fact that he made sure we got to this point safe. "Not my horse I need it!" Gandalf's voice yelled suddenly

I spun to face the group to see them just as shocked as me. I couldn't tell though once their eyes landed on me if they were more shocked about my eyes or Gandalf's outburst. "You're not leaving us?" Bilbo asked

"I would not do this unless I had to," Gandalf stood by his horse and faced me, Bilbo and Thorin, "You've changed Bilbo Baggins, you're not the same hobbit as the one who left the Shire. Arabelle will protect you as she already has, Arabelle I must go to the council immediately I trust you can lead the company along my chosen path."

I nodded my head and I could see him chew on his lip as he debated to ask about my eyes but Bilbo interrupted his thought process, "I was going to tell you I found something in the Goblin tunnels."

Bilbo stood close to me and Gandalf and we looked at him expectantly, "Found what?" Gandalf asked

I watched as Bilbo fumbled with something in his pocket but my curiosity grew with every turn of his finger in his pockets and the darkness was pulling closer to the edge as he did this. "What did you find?" I snapped

Bilbo and Gandalf looked at me shocked but after a few moments Bilbo stopped playing with whatever was in his pockets and smiled at us, "My courage."

A small laugh escaped my lips and I clapped a hand to his shoulder, "Good well that's good, you'll need it," Gandalf mounted his horse and spoke to all of us now especially at Thorin and myself, "I'll be waiting for you at the overlook before the slopes of Erebor. Keep the map and key safe, do not enter the mountain without me. This is not the Greenwood of old, the very air of the forest is heavy with illusion it will seek to enter your mind and lead you astray. You must stay on the path do not leave it. If you do you will never find it again."

Dwalin and Bilbo shouted in protest to his words but instead I looked onward into the forest, the forest calling out for me to enter into the depths of darkness.
