Greenwood's Queen
Ten: Beorn
They ran after it and they send Billa to take a look of what was happening, which was where she was at the moment. She looked at the Orc pack and hid, but she saw something else, something big. She breathed in before she ran back to the other where they were hidden.
"How close is the pack?" Thorin asked.
"Too close." Billa said. "Couple of leagues no more, but that is not the worst."
"Did they pick up our scent?"
"Not yet but they will." Billa said. "We have another problem."
"Did they see you, they saw you." Gandalf said.
"No that's not it." she told him.
"What did I tell you quiet as a mouse, excellent burgling material?" Gandalf said to some of the cheers.
"Will you listen, WILL YOU JUST LISTEN!" Billa said. "Listen, I'm trying to tell you there is something else out there."
"What form did it take?" Gandalf asked her and she was surprised by the question. "Like a bear?"
"Yes-Yes but bigger, much bigger." She told him.
"You knew about this beast." Bofur asked. Gandalf turned around and didn't answer them.
"I say we double back."
"And be run down by Orcs." Thorin said.
"There is a house." Gandalf said turning around. "Not far from here, were we might take refuge."
"Whose house? Are they friend or foe?" Thorin asked.
"Neither." Gandalf said. "He will help us or he will kill us."
"What choice do we have?" Thorin said and they heard a howl.
"None." Gandalf said and they began to run for it, from the Orcs and whatever was chasing them.

"This way quickly." Gandalf said and they all ran until they saw some place.
"This way the house, run." Gandalf said.
They arrived to the doors. "Come on get inside." Billa was not able to resist she turned around and just saw a large mass before they got it into the door which all the Dwarves blocked from it.
"What is that?" Ori asked.
"That is our Host." Gandalf said." And his name is Beorn and his a skin-changer." Gandalf began to walk inside. 'Sometimes he's a great black bears and sometimes he's a great big man, the bear is unpredictable; the man can be reasoned with, however he is not over fond of Dwarves."
"He's living." Ori told them just to be pulled away from the door by Dori.
"Get away from there, that is not natural, none of it is, it is obvious he must be in a dark spell."
"Don't be a fool." Gandalf said. "He is in no spell other than his own, now get some sleep."

'Billa I do hope that you like this?' Thranduil told her as they sat down in the garden with a pinic...
'I love it.' Billa told him as they kissed once more, Thranduil wrapped his arms around her and spun her around with her on the ground. She looked up at him.
'Buzz! Buzz!" his mouth opened.
Billa woke up when she felt something on her nose. She saw that it was a bee standing there. she looked around to see no one was there anymore, she got up and put her coat back up as she went were the Dwarves were.
"I say we should league it slip down a back pipe." Nori said just as Dwalin pushed him back.
"I'm not running from anyone, beast or no."Dwalin told him, before Nori could say anything Gandalf stopped the argument.
"There is no point in arguing, we cannot pass through the wilder land without Beorn's help." Gandalf said. "We will be hunted down, if we only get to the forest." Gandalf said and Billa moved next to Thorin and Kili.
"Billa there you are." Gandalf said. "Now this will require some delicate handling, you must thread very carefully, the last person to startle him was thorn into pieces."
"I will go first-Billa you come with me." Gandalf said and she looked around as the Dwarves sent her.
"Is this a god idea?"
"Now the rest of you, just wait here and don't come out until I give my signal." Gandalf told them.
"Right wait for the signal." Bofur said.
"And no sudden movements, or loud noises and down overcrowd him, only come out in pairs." He said turning around before coming ack. "Actually Bombur, you count as two, so you should come out alone."
"Remember wait for the signal." Gandalf said as they walked away.
Billa and Gandalf were walking together; Billa was looking at the large man cutting wood. She looked at Gandalf.
"Your nervous." She told him.
"Nervous, nonsense." He whispered to her. Before they walked to the side of Beorn. "Good-morning." he said and Beorn ignored him cutting more wood and Billa looked at him.
"Good-morning." Gandalf said again. Beorn stop.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"I'm Gandalf, Gandalf the Grey." He said bending down and Beorn turned around, which caused Billa to hide behind Gandalf's robes.
"Never heard of him." Gandalf got up and looked at Beorn.
"I'm a wizard perhaps your heard of my colleague Radagast the Brown, he resides on the southern border of wreck wood."
"What do you want?"
"Simply to thank you for your hospitality, you may have notice we to refuge on your lodgings last night." Gandalf said and he moved causing Billa to be notice and Beorn looked at her.
"Who is this little lass?" Beorn asked.
"Ah this would be Miss Baggins from the Shire." Gandalf said and Beorn grabbed his ax and she was a bit worried.
"She's not a Dwarf is she?"
"No, she's a hobbit, good family and undisputable reputation."
"A Halfling and Wizard, how come you here?"
"Oh-oh well see we've have a bad time of it, from Goblins in the Mountains."
"What did you go near Goblins for?" Beorn said. "Stupid thing to do."
"You're absolutely right." Gandalf said not knowing the Dwarves had taken his hand movement as s signal. Billa looked as Beorn went to raise his ax.
"Dwalin, Balin."
"And-and I must confess several of our group are in-fact Dwarves." Gandalf said.
"Do you call two several?" Beorn told him.
"Well-well-well if—you-put it that way-no-as in more than two." Gandalf said, but another two came out it was Oin and Gloin. "Oh and here are more of our troops."
"You call six a troop." Beorn said. "What are you a traveling circus?" Gandalf was laughing nervously.
"Dori and Ori at your service."
"I don't' want your service."
"Absolutely understandable." Gandalf said. "Oh Fili and Kili, quite forgot." Gandalf said before the others came out. "Nori, Bofur, Bifur, Bombur."
"Is that it?" Beorn asked. "Are they anymore." At that moment Thorin came out."

Beorn let them stay and sadly it did earn Billa a nickname. They were currently eating at the table.
"So it's you they call Oakenshield." Beorn said. "Tell me, why is Azog the Defiler hunting you."
"You know of Azog, how?"
"My people were the first to live in the Mountains, before the Orcs came down from the North, the Defiler killed all of my family-Billa turned to see a chakle in his arm- and saw me enslaved-and not for work you understand, but for sport, caging skin-changers and torturing them, it amused him."
"Are there others like you?"Billa asked.
"Once they were many." Beorn told her.
"now?"
"Now there's only one." Beorn told her. "You need to reach the Mountain before the last days in Autumn."
"Before Durin's Day falls." Gandalf says. "Yes."
"You are running out of time."
"Which is why we must go through Greenwood?" Gandalf said.
"It used to be dark, before it all cleared up in those woods." Beorn said and Billa tried not to get nervous. "Some Orcs have gone in, for there is a deal between the Orcs and someone in Dol Gondur, you will need someone knowledgeable with the woods."
"We will take the Elven Road their path is still safe."
"The Wood Elves of Greenwood are not like their kin, there less wise and more dangerous, unless you speak with the Queen." Thorin who had stood up heard that and Beorn looked at Billa telling her he knew exactly who she was. "But it matters not."
"What do you mean?" Thorin asked.
"These lands are crawling with Orcs their numbers rising again and you are on foot." Beron said. "You will never get to the forest alive." He said standing up.
"I don't like Dwarves, their greedy, and blind, blind to those who lives they deem lesser than their own." He said getting a white mouse in his hand. "But Orcs I hate more, what do you need."
#
"What did Beorn mean about the Greenwood Queen?" Balin asked Gandalf. "I was aware that the Elven Kings' wife was dead."
"He married his mate." Gandalf said. "That is all I will tell you."
"She must be another elf, cold and un-caring." Thorin told them.
"Mean and uncaring." Billa heard the other's say.
#
Billa was surprised by what the Dwarves asked and she stood outside for a while getting her thoughts together. Something bigger was going on; she was petting some of the animals with a smile.
"They are not aware of who you are?" Beorn told her.
"Yes." Billa said.
"I've seen you with the King traveling over the years."
"Why didn't you tell them, who I was?" Billa asked him.
"That is something you should tell them, Little Bunny." He told her.
"Thank-you."Billa said.

In one of the nights they stayed with Beorn, Ori was with Billa since they were woman they were able to stay alone for a few minutes and they were with some of the animals that belonged to Beorn.
"I'm sorry." Ori told her.
"About, what?" Billa asked.
"You know the others talking about the Elves."
"I'm used to it." Billa told her.
"I would believe it but you got more uncomfortable." Ori said.
"So, did you find your mate?" Billa asked changing the subject.
"Yeah." Ori said with a blush. "We are going to wait until we get Erebor back."
"Oh." Billa said. "Was it Dwalin." The answering blushed causing her to chuckle.
"Billa."
"He is, that is good." Billa said with a smile. They both didn't notice the two Dwarves hiding hearing their conversion and they were shock.
"Billa, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"Who is your One?" Ori asked. Both Fili and Kili tried to listen to the answer.
"Um-um." Billa said. "Ori, you can't tell anyone and you can't over-react."
"I won't, it won't be too bad." Ori said.
"I—I am the person both Beorn and Gandalf mentioned." Billa said.
"But they mentioned the-." Ori stopped when she finally got the answer. "Billa, the Elven King is your mate."
"Yes, his my husband and I love him very much." She said to Ori who could see it in the gaze. Fili and Kili looked at each other from hiding in their hiding spots.
"Does he know about us going…"
"No-I just told him I was coming with Gandalf." Billa told her. "We will see him when we get to Greenwood; I will get you to Erebor."
"I won't tell anyone, But Billa this is big." Ori told her.
"I know." Billa replied. Kili and Fili both knew what would happen and decided to keep the secret to protect their friend.

Beorn gave them ponies and he walked with Gandalf.
"You will leave my ponies before you enter the forest." Beorn told him.
"You have my word." Gandalf said.
"We're being watched." Gandalf said as they heard something.
"Yes." Beorn said. "The Orcs, they will not give up, until they see the Dwarves destroyed and if not careful the Queen of Greenwood as well."
"Why now?" Gandalf said. "Why will Azog come out of his hole?"
"There is an alliance between the Orcs of Moria and the Sorcerer of Dul Gondur."
"You sure about this."
"Packs have been seen gathering there." Beorn told him. "Each day more and more come."
"What do you know of this sorcerer?"
"I know he is more than he seems."Beorn told him. "He is doing terrible things, planning."
"Gandalf time is wasting."
"There is more." Beorn told him. "A few birds spoke that this person is looking for the one that created the great evil, he could cause damage."
"Saruman says it is not possible." Gandalf said.
"What does Gandalf the Grey say?" Beorn asked before they heard a noise. "Go, while you still have light, they are not far behind."
They all left and they were getting, closer and closer to the Greenwood. Kili who was at the front began to feel a burn in his neck and a pull.
