Previously on The Kings mate.
I then was about to ask something else when Garther hoots and flies back to has cope next to the throne. I say "Gather, are you that bored of me already? I thought we have Forever." I then giggle as my stomach starts to growl. As I turn around I bump into something hard and as I'm about to fall I grab onto their shoulders as they wrap their arms around my waist. Then we fall to the ground as he falls on top of me, I didn't need to look up to see who it was because I could feel the mating bond between us.
I look up into the kings eyes for a second then I run my hand threw his hair that's in my face and then he bends down grabs the side of my face of my face and whispers "Mine." Before his lips capture mine.
I grab on to him for dear life, I put my hand in his hair and I can fell the electric all over my skin bringing us together. Alex never kissed me like this. My heart swells at the thought of Alex. I move my mouth from his. I say as I look up to him "Do you mind getting off me now? You are kind of squishing me."
He then smirks and gets up then puts his hand out. As I stand not grabbing his hand and turn from him. He grabs my hip and pulls me close to him then whispers so softly in my ear "Believe me my love; you will be flushing with pleasure next time I am so called "Squishing" you."
Oh, good is he talking about … He is trying to kill me, I then say as I get out of his grip "Oh, maybe you should do that with your mate and leave me to my business."
With that I start walking away and out the throne room, and he says "I will make you see that you are MY mate."
As I walk to my room, I realize what I must do. I put on riding clothes, and then I wrap my leg and pack a bag plus my sword, bow and arrows, then slowly make my way out of the castle. I leave my family a note in my room. I then go to the stables, get Lobor ready to go.
I then slowly walk with Lobor to the gate which is guarded, now I have to distract the guard so we can get out. I imagine talking flowers on the other side of the gate and as soon as the guards heard it all of them took off to the sounds which I made sure they kept getting further and further. The last 2 guards I had a flower grow and cover their eyes and whisper to them to distract them from our noise. We slowly crept pass them and once I got out the gate, we took off rushing through the forest.
After 5 minutes the flowers would disappear so that would be fine, I hope I can find this place. Lake wood, I know that dwarfs and humans do not really like elves so I unbraided my hair to cover my ears because of the human in me my ears are not as pointy as other elves. I ride for 3 hours then stop and hop off Lobor and walk up to a tree; I put my hand on the tree and ask "Which way to Lakewood, my friend?"
The tree says nothing but points north, I smile and then where my hand is I grow a pretty sunflower and say "To thank you, my friend."
I ride north till morning breaks, I am tired and weary, my leg is in pain but not too much that I cannot handle.
I see a house that looks like an inn right outside that town of lake wood. As I get off Lobor, a man walks out a very hairy man. I say to him in Westron "Hello, my name Fae and I have traveled far from here. I was wondering if you had space for me for one night. I will be no problem, I assure you."
He looks at me surprised "You are not around from these parts, are you?"
I give a small smile "No I am not, my friend."
He then says "Don't you know what I am? Does it not scare you?"
I look at him uncertain as to what he is talking about "You are a human?"
He starts to laugh "You are not from this land, I am a skin changer my child."
I smile excited, I have never seen a skin changer before. I then say "Wow, what do you change into?"
He then gives me a look and I say "I'm sorry if I offended you. What is your name?"
He gives me a smile "My name is Beorn, it is fine. I transform into a bear."
I give him a smile "Since you told me something about yourself, I shall to you something of myself. I can speak to animals."
He looks at me like I am crazy "You can talk to animals? I would like to see that. If you can talk to one of my animals, your board will be free."
I smirk and say firmly "Well would you like me to talk to my horse or one of your animals or would you like to transform?"
He thinks on it for a second, and says "Talk to one of my dogs, if you can talk to him as I said before it will be of no cost to you, and if not you will have to find somewhere else."
I smile at him and offer him my hand "Deal?"
He keeps a straight face and puts his hand in mine. Then says "Deal"
He then whistles and four dogs come running to him. He says to me "Well talk to them and see if you can find out their names girl."
I smile as I walk closer to the dogs, I bend down so I almost level with them. I say "Hello, I am Fae. You are so adorable, and honorable. You keep your owner safe very safe , don't you?"
They all start talking at once, it would sound like barking. They are arguing about who is the best. I see the one with a black spot on its back and make eye contact. I say to him "What is your name?"
He backs his name happily and I say "Well that is certainly a different name, Rue. Nice to meet you"
I can tell Beorn is surprised, and then I tell him the other 3 names. He says then scratching the back of him head "Well it seems you have told the truth, you may stay here for tonight."
He ushers me in his house and I put my stuff in the room. I am glad he is tall as I. He then says "You may stay here; this was my daughters room before she left. You may leave your things here if you wish to go look around the town but I might suggest doing something with your hair."
I look at him "What do you mean?"
He then gives me a look "My child I have been around a long time, I know what an elf looks like, though you are not full elf. Your hair will stick out if you don't put it up because I have not strange hair like yours. You might want to change as well"
I then look at him "How do you I change it then? I was born with this hair. All I brought were clothes like this."
He then says "I use to braid my daughters hair after her mother died; I could possible braid it into the red to wear you cannot see it but it will also cover your ears. You can wear my daughter's clothes; you should just be about her size."
I smile at him "Why are you being so nice to me? You hardly know me?"
As I sit as he fixes my hair "I know how it feels to be different and out of place. You also remind me of my daughter."
He gets a grimace on his face, so I don't ask any more questions.
He finishes my hair and I look to the mirror and it looks perfect you can hardly see the golden blonde because it blends with the auburn. I smile as he hands me a beautiful brown dress "Thank you it looks great, I guess I shall change now."
He points to the door "Right in there."
I walk to wear he points and changes into the dress. It fits perfectly, which is quite strange. I walk out and see him in the kitchen part and say "Thank you for the clothes, I shall return them tomorrow before I leave."
As I walk in the kitchen, he turns and takes a deep breath then gets a sad smile on his face "Of course, be back at sunset that is when dinner will be."
I smile "Of course, thank you again!"
With that I put my cape on and then rush out the door. I put my sword on my side so no one can see it, if I for some reason I need it. I whistle for Lobor, who was eating grass with the other horses and his ears perk up and he gallops to me. His long silver mane, he is an all white horse but has black an odd shaped marking above his tail on his rear.
I then slowly get on the horse carful of my leg and then run toward the town of Lakewood just about 2 miles away.
I run there finally get to the town I see that everyone is out, but no one looks at me as if I am an outsider. That makes me smile; I leave Lobor hooked to a post, knowing if anyone tried to steal him it would be there misfortune.
As I look threw the town looking for the scene I saw from Arwen's gift. I finally found the street but what I found was much worst.
I look up around the corner and I see Alex gorgeous golden blonde hair but he is smiling and looking down at a dark headed little girl in his arms. He uses to smile at me like that. The pain I felt from seeing that I thought was unbearable, that was supposed to be my child. He was supposed to be with me and have my children. I was ready to give up everything for him, my virginity, and my immortal life everything. I thought I was heartbroken then but than a short human girl with wavy dark hair comes out of the store and then hugs him then kiss the baby then Alex. Then they start walking off, I stand there as the tears stream down my face, finding it hard to breathe, Watching Alex walk away happily with his beloved and child, knowing that coming here was a huge mistake.
I rush back to Lobor, untie him from the post and hop on and start riding threw the town, I get to Beorn's place being I keep on riding straight into the woods.
A few minutes later I stop Lobor and hop off. I tell Lobor to leave me and to go eat. I sit there crying in my hands. How could I be so stupid! The human never loved me; after all I did for him. I was ready to throw everything away for him. As I sit there crying, my ear picks up a noise but I ignore it, I stay crying. A minute later my arm is grabbed roughly as I look to see a hideous creature; I believe father called an Orcs. He says "What do we have here? A human girl, you will be quite yummy. I would bring you back for the rest but I'm going to eat you all to myself."
I snatch my wrist of his hand not realizing his nails were deep in my skin and then something flies past me and hits him in the head. I look to see what it is and it is an axe. Then I look and see where it came from and I see a big black bear and I hoping that it is Beorn. He starts running toward the Orcs killing him fast and gets the other before I even realized they were there.
I see Lobor running back when he gets to me, he says "My lady, are you okay?"
I look over to see the bear Beorn and then the blood flowing from my wrist as I fall on to Lobor, darkness taking over my sight, praying that I will awake from this dream.
To be continued.
