Chapter 10: House Arrest
The girls reached their home in good time. Getting to the front gate the girls dropped the sacks of food. Beorn ran out to embrace his girls in hugs. "My girls, I've begged the gods to bring you all back safe." He said giving multiple kiss.
"Papa we are fine." Luna said.
Beorn smile turned into a stern look. He grabbed Luna bandage arm and asked, "What is the meaning of this?" None of them answered, they averted their eyes away from his glare. "Tell me now!" He ordered. The girls cringed at his strong voice.
"Luna was shot by a dwarf, and I cut by an Elf." Nova answered.
"What!?" He said approaching Nova. Turning her around he saw the shoulder had a long puncture wound. "What caused Elves to attack you?" He asked looking the wound over.
"Radagast the Brown and Gandalf the Grey needed our help." Luna said holding her arm.
"You know better not to help strangers." Beorn said in an upset tone.
"It was the Orcs. They were going to kill a pack of Dwarves." Luna said. Quickly covered her mouth. She had dug their graves.
"Helping Dwarves! You think they had any concerns for you!?" He yelled at her. Luna couldn't answer she felt as if he ripped her heart out. "What else happened?" Beorn asked clenching a fist.
"I...I spilled Elven blood." Crescent said in a weak tone.
Beorn growled in frustration."I knew letting you go was a bad idea." He grabbed Nova wrist and dragged her to the house. Luna and Crescent followed behind, inside he sat Nova down. He went through the cabinets making a mess. "You will not leave these borders."
"You can't do this. What will we do for food?" Crescent asked.
"I will be the one hunting. You will stay in the boards of the house." He said grabbing herbs for the medicine.
"So we can't be free? Caging us up like dogs!" Crescent argued.
"You will do as I say! I am your Papa, and the Alpha of this house!" He yelled banging his chest.
"You're not my real Papa!" Crescent yelled back. Nova and Luna gasped at her unkindly words. "If we ever knew him, he would let us travel freely. Not keep us locked away to watch the world from a window." she growled. Beorn gripped her arm and flung her to the ground. Crescent growled trying to stand, but Beorn pinned her down. "Let me up!"
"No! You learn your place. I don't want to hurt you, but if this is the only way." He said keeping her down till she settled.
"Papa she didn't mean that." Nova said rubbing his shoulder. Keeping her down he began to cry. The tears fell from his cheeks onto her neck. Crescent felt it and settled herself down.
"Papa." Luna said tearing up. She hugged her father tightly around his neck, Nova joined in kissing his cheek trying to calm him. He let go of Crescent, falling back. Luna and Nova hugged him, Crescent sat up looking at them all." Beorn kissed their foreheads, he leaned going to give her a hug. Angered she got up and walked off, not giving him a second look. Luna and Nova hugged their father as Crescent went outside.
