Chapter 20:
Reagan's POV
I'm starting to get sick of all of this walking. Now I know why movies make all that walking seem easy and quick, it is SO boring and tiring! We ran out of stuff to talk about, even Megan! She always has stuff to say. Kili asked her if she was feeling well because he noticed it.
All the dwarves and us started moving toward the wizard and Bilbo because they were having a very interesting conversation.
"The Somebody I spoke of is a very great person. You must all be very polite when I introduce you." Gandalf starts saying to the hobbit. He speaks loud as if he wants all of us to hear this as well.
"I shall introduce you two by two. You must be very careful not to annoy him, or heavens know what will happen. He can be appalling when angered, though he is kind enough if humored."
Lindsey and I look to Megan.
"Hey! I'm not that annoying." She exclaims.
"You'll have to really control your hyper self-Megan. " I whisper to my sister.
She nods.
We weren't paying much attention to the other dwarves who were bombarding Gandalf with questions.
"If you must know more, his name is Beorn. He is very strong—" Lindsey and Megan are fascinated and state "oooh-lala.."
Fili and Kili notice this and look VERY jealous. Surely they thought Lindsey and Megan were paying attention to them throughout the quest. I'm laughing on the inside.
"He is also a skin-changer." Gandalf finishes his sentence.
"He is my Jacob Black.. I'm coming Jacob!" Megan shouts.
She didn't notice the change in Kili's face when she said ' my- Jacob Black.'
"Who is this, Jacob Black?" Kili walks up next to her.
"What! A furrier? A man that calls rabbits conies, when he doesn't turn their skins into squirrels?!" Bilbo exclaims very shocked.
"Your- or that Jacob Black is a poacher?" Kili gapes at Megan.
I laugh so hard now which makes Bofur laugh (soon other dwarves) because he hears my weird laugh and I have tears coming down from my eyes from laughing so hard.
"Breathe Reagan breathe!" Lindsey slaps my back.
"Not even close Kili. No he is not a poacher!" Megan tells Kili.
"Good gracious heavens, no, no, no, NO!" said Gandalf.
He continues, "don't be a fool Mr. Baggins if you can help it; and in the name of all wonder don't mention the word furrier again as long as you are within' a hundred miles of his house. He changes his skin. Sometimes he is a huge black bear—"
Kili's thoughts, 'I can't wait to see this Jacob Black myself. Beorn must be his surname…'
"—and sometimes he is a great strong black haired man with huge arms and a great beard." Gandalf finishes saying.
"Pfft. My wife will always have the best beard in all of Middle Earth." Gloin announces, "I have a nice beard myself, no mean to brag."
Ah-ha! That's where Gimli gets it from in LOTR! Well Gloin is his father so that makes sense. I can be a blonde sometimes.
Gloin is turning out to be our Gimli.
We are all in deep thought of Beorn as we now know he is under no enchantment but his own.
We walk up hill and downhill non-stop. We still had a long way to go. The song composed by Howard Shore 'Over Hill' from the Hobbit movie is now inside my head as I walk. It's at least keeping my mind off of my starving stomach.
It grew very hot so we stopped under trees to cool off and drink water from the river.
"I'm so hungry." I exclaim softly also knowing I must continue on.
"It'll be alright Reagan. I'm hungry too, we'll be eating soon." Bilbo joins me walking. That's what I also like about Bilbo; he keeps my hopes up and makes me feel better. I must be getting close to heat stroke because I'm now thinking he is very cute….attractive… Shut up! I'm going crazy inside my head.
I feel water get splashed on my face by Lindsey. I didn't even notice we stopped to take a break. It's now the afternoon.
A LOT of flowers begin to spring up. They are beautiful. Then we all see the bees. Everywhere buzzing and whirring just flying past us. I hate bees, and these are huge too!
"We are getting near." Gandalf says.
"Hooray!" My friends and I shout. It's about time!
Now we are coming to a belt of tall and very ancient oaks. Beautiful.
"It'd be best if we wait here. When I call or whistle, come after me. You will see the way I go—only in pairs I remind you and 5 minutes in between each pair. Bombur and Reagan can go in a pair last. Come on Bilbo!" Gandalf waves the nervous Bilbo over to follow him. Bilbo looks back at me fearfully but I mouth 'it will be ok.'
Fili and Kili went in before Megan and Lindsey in a pair. After all the dwarves Bombur and I start walking after 5 minutes. Bombur is very sweet and amazing! We talked on the road before then, but now it was an actual conversation without Thorin shouting commands.
We come to a grand wooden gate. There are barns, stables, sheds, and a long low wooden house. It was like a wilderness lodge. You then imagine lots of bees flying everywhere still. But it was very clean looking.
Taking my eyes off of my surroundings my eyes next land on the company with Gandalf, and someone I'm guessing is Beorn who is honestly nothing like the book has said.
Beorn is smoking HOT! Despite his super tallness; he has pitch black short wavy tousled hair with bushy black arches set above his emerald green eyes. He can really pull off beard stubble! I then notice… His shirt is off; he has an 8 pack…. I feel like fainting. Good thing he has pants on.
"Reagan? Are you well?" Bilbo comes up to me.
"Yah. Just overheated from all of the walking." I tell him.
Gandalf explains, "—it's a long tale."
"Then all of you had better come inside and tell us some of it if it won't take all day." Beorn says with a deep voice.
"Us? What do you mean?" Gandalf asks the tall man. Beorn didn't hear him as he kept walking towards his house with us following. I wonder who else is here.
"Maybe his wife?" Bilbo guesses whispering to me.
"I have no idea. Surely Gandalf would've known and told us." I tell Bilbo who nods.
In the house we found ourselves in a wide hall with a fire place in the middle. Very outdoorsman, kind of like a Bass Pro Shop, minus the dead animals everywhere. Beorn has no stuffed animals or heads hanging up.
Even though it was summer he had wood burning in it. He had lots of chairs, candles, pictures hanging up of trees and waters, and blankets. I felt at home.
My eyes scan the room before I sit down and I notice a figure with a hooded cloak on in the corner sitting with a.. dog that is sitting upright in the chair across from the person.
"Who's the jedi in the corner?" Lindsey asks also seeing the figure.
The figure looks up as if in a deep conversation with the weird dog and takes off its hood to reveal—
"Lauren!" Megan, Lindsey and I run to her and hug her.
We are all in tears hugging her. Luckily Beorn wasn't disturbed by our outburst.
"Where have you been?" I ask her smiling with tears coming down my face.
"In Rivendell duh… The main question is where have you guys been?" Lauren smiles back
"Just about everywhere!" Lindsey answers.
"What are you doing here?" Megan asks her.
"I'm coming back on the quest silly! And what happened to your face?" Lauren takes notice of the scar on Megan's cheek.
"It's a long tale Lauren. I am about to tell Beorn as well. I'd rather not repeat this story twice so please join us. And it's good to see you again Lauren." Gandalf finishes with a smile.
My friends and I smile. The dwarves beam at Lauren looking like they want to talk to her, but they keep their mouths shut because Gandalf is about to explain to Beorn and Lauren.
We were finally together again.
A/N: hey! Lauren is back! Long chapter too! The next one maybe long too, it should be up in a couple of days. Thanks guys! Please review! :)
