Hey guys! I'm so sorry that it took me a long time to get this chapter up, I was super busy studying for two midterms and I totally forget to write. I hope you like this chapter because it did really take me a long time to write and I had to think about how I was going to write this chapter. You'll find out of what I mean by that! Oh and if you're a starkid fan, there's something pretty obvious but lets see if you can figure it out! Disclaimer: I don't own the Hobbit.
Hannah looked at the weapons she had received from Kili.
"These weapons are beautiful," Hannah commented.
A noise rustled through the forest quickly and everyone got into a defending pose with their weapon ready to strike whatever was coming. Maya gripped the hilt of her new sword standing right next to Hannah. Hannah grabbed her bow and equipped it with an arrow at the ready not really sure how to use it but was ready anyway.
The silence was the most suspenseful part. Hannah was terrified. She didn't exactly know what lurked in this world but she could imagine.
A pack of rabbits popped out with a figure right behind them. Everyone was startled and were about to attack when Gandalf recognized the figure.
"Radagast the Brown, what are you doing in these parts of the forest?" Gandalf questioned. Everyone lowered their weapons.
Radagast had put on a thinking face but when he was about to answer, his mind went to a blank.
"Maya, who's that?" Hannah asked.
"I don't know," Maya replied back.
"It's on the tip of my tongue," Radagast said. His face lit up as he remembered and pulled out an insect out of his mouth.
"Ew!" Maya and Hannah said loudly.
Everyone turned around to Hannah and Maya, who were both turning red from the embarrassment.
Gandalf and Radagast were talking in private while other had their own conversations.
"What do you think they're talking about?" Maya asked.
"Well, it has to be important," Kili said.
"Gandalf said that he's usually never in these parts of the forest," Fili continued off from Kili.
"Fili, wanna practice?" Maya asked.
Fili nodded.
Maya and Fili were dueling.
Hannah was amazed with the duel. Now she wanted to learn but she saw Kili watching. She bit her lip then opened her mouth but no words came out. She hesitated then went back to watching.
Maya foot got caught with a tree root and she fell backwards and landed hard.
"You okay?" Fili asked.
"Yeah, I'm good. I'm already used to falling on my butt," Maya said.
Maya took Fili's hand and he pulled her up. Maya wiped her cheek with her hand and saw a little blood. "Am I bleeding?" She looked at her hand. There was a small cut. "I think I have something to cover that up in my bag." Maya jogged off to her bag as Fili went to Kili and Hannah.
"She's improving," Fili stated.
"She's a pretty quick learner," Hannah said. "For our play, she memorized her lined before anyone else did. Maya's really dedicated in what she does."
A howl filled the air with intense fear as everyone stopped what they were doing.
"What that a wolf? Are there wolfs out there?" Bilbo asked with a face full of fright.
Maya quickly wrapped a piece of cloth around her left hand and tied it off.
"Wolves? No, that is not a wolf," Bofur listened more closely.
A loud growl came from the back as everyone turned and gasped.A wolf-like creature popped out of nowhere and attacked Maya as she screamed. She had fallen back down to the ground. All the dwarves ran towards her. Dwalin stabbed the creature until it moved no more. Hannah ran to Maya and helped her up.
"Maybe I should just stay on the ground," Maya commented.
Kili shot an arrow towards another warg that was about to attack. Thorin plunged his sword into the second creature.
"Wargs guild," Thorin commented. "Which means an orc pack is not far behind."
"Orc pack?" Bilbo questioned.
"Who did you tell about your quest, beyond you kin?" Gandalf questioned Thorin, who was also surprised.
"No one," he replied back.
"Who did you tell?" Gandalf repeated once again.
"No one, I swear." Thorin saw Hannah and pointed to her. "Maybe she did it. We don't even know who she is and what she's capable of! She could be some traitor!"
"She's not a traitor!" Maya said.
"Maybe she led the orc pack to us!" Thorin was getting in Hannah's face.
"It wasn't me!" Hannah was starting to get angry.
"Liar!"
"Did I stutter?!" Hannah was furious with what Thorin was saying to her anger had built up and she felt like punching him. "I said it wasn't me!"
"Hey!" Maya interrupted. "Hannah is my friend and if she said she didn't she didn't do it so back off Thorin!" Everyone gasped by the way Maya was speaking to Thorin, even Maya herself. Usually Maya wouldn't had said anything but Thorin was accusing an innocent person for no reason. "Now, maybe we should get out of here before that orc pack finds us!"
"What in Durin's name is going on?" Thorin asked.
"You are being hunted," Gandalf stated.
Maya and Hannah looked at each other and then looked at Thorin.
"Ill draw them off," Radagast said.
"These are Gundabad wargs. They will out run you!" Gandalf said.
"These Rhosgobel rabbits," Radagast pointed out. "I'd like to see them try." He got on his sled and took off.
There were more howls.
"Let's go!" Gandalf said. Everyone took off.
Gandalf ran behind a boulder with everyone following up. Radagast sped through the tress out to the open where the orc pack and wargs started to chase him down.
"Come along," Gandalf said.
Everyone followed Gandalf into the open trying not to be spotted. They saw Radagast in front of them trying to lead off the pack.
"Stay together," Gandalf said. Everyone turned back and ran.
Running from fear was all they could do. They ran next to a rock formation and stopped as they almost encountered the pack.
"Ori, no!" Thorin said as he pulled back Ori from being seen. "Get back."
Hannah was breathing deeper and deeper.
"Hannah, you okay?" Maya was concerned.
"Yeah," Hannah said. "Just need to catch my breath."
Maya knew something was wrong but Gandalf motioned to the dwarves to keep going. One by one each had ran with Thorin and Gandalf staying behind to make sure everyone made it through.
"Where are you leading us?" Thorin asked Gandalf as Maya and Hannah passed.
No matter where they ran the pack seemed to be everywhere. They finally hid behind another rock formation staying quiet.
Hannah was still breathing hard and her face turned completely red like a tomato.
"You're not okay," Maya whispered.
Hannah couldn't respond. Her eyes started to water from trying not to cough so the orcs couldn't hear her. Maya rubbed Hannah's back.
"Take slow deep breaths," Maya said soothingly. "Calm down, everyone here will protect you, don't worry."
Hannah took Maya's advice and her face was starting to go back to her normal skin tone.
An orc and his warg were on the very top of the boulder right where they were hiding. Everyone stayed quiet.
Hannah saw Kili go out and shoots the warg then the orc as they both came falling down in pain creating noise. The orc tried to attack but Dwalin and Bifur had attacked them.
The howls came closer to them
"Move, run!" Gandalf yelled. They all ran including Hannah and Maya but they were the last ones.
Fili turned around and saw that Maya and Hannah were slowing down. Hannah wanted to collapse. Fili ran back.
"I'll carry her!" Fili hoisted Hannah on his shoulder and grabbed Maya's hand as they ran back to catch up to the group. Maya never knew she could run as fast she was right now.
I guess when you about to be killed, the adrenaline starts kicking in.
They caught up with the group now being in the middle. Kili turned to see Hannah and Fili's shoulder, his face was scared. He didn't know what happened to Hannah.
The orc pack was closing in on them as they ran the opposite direction away from them.
Thorin stopped as he saw the leader of the opposite of him. Now all the pack surrounded the company. Fili let Hannah down with Maya's help as they ran to the middle. He ran next to Kili ready to fight.
Maya kneeled with Hannah.
Hannah's knees felt weak and they were shaking. All the dwarves surrounded Hannah and Maya.
Please don't let this be the end.
Hannah was still conscious but she was still slightly having trouble breathing.
"Take deep breaths," Maya said as she got her wrapped her hand around the hilt of her sword tightly just in case.
"Where's Gandlaf?" One of the dwarves shouted.
"Stand your ground!" Thorin shouted.
Gandalf popped out from behind a small boulder.
"This was you fools!" He shouted. Everyone started to run.
Maya tried to get Hannah to stand but she couldn't .
"Kili!" Thorin shouted. Kili turned around and the girls still out in the open.
Kili ran to Maya and Hannah. Without saying anything, Kili grabbed Hannah and carried her. Maya followed with Fili right next to her. They jumped into an opening in the rock formation and slid down with Thorin being the last to jump down.
Once Maya had gotten back up on her feet, she ransacked her bag and found a container of water. She handed this to Kili who poured the water into the Hannah's mouth as she was losing consciousness. A couple of seconds later, Hannah's eyes opened and Maya was relieved as she sighed and smiled.
An orc fell down the hole but it was already dead. Thorin pulled out the arrow.
"Elves…" He threw the arrow down.
"I cannot see where the pathway leads," Dwalin said. "Do we follow it or not?"
"We follow it of course!" Bofur said.
They all started to follow the path.
Hannah got up with most of her energy back.
"I'm fine, Maya," Hannah said as Maya made sure she didn't collapse again.
"Do you have asthma or something?" Maya asked.
"I'm not sure," Hannah said as they started following the group. "I've never been through that before, this is my first time I couldn't actually breathe. "
"It might be minor, because the same thing happened to my brother," Maya said.
"You okay there, Hannah?" Kili asked.
Hannah nodded.
"You had me scared there for a moment," Kili continued.
Hannah and Kili had their own conversation as Fili and Maya and did too.
"Your hand okay?" Fili asked.
"Yeah, just a small cut, no big deal," Maya smiled.
Fili smiled back.
"Thanks for helping me with Hannah," Maya thanked him. "I wouldn't know what would've happened if you didn't turn around and helped. For all I know, we could've been dead."
"I don't think they would've killed you so fast. Maybe torture you a bit, interrogate you, and then hold you hostage since they know we would come looking for you or just kill you."
"Thanks for the reassurance," Maya said.
"I'm just kidding," Fili smiled. "We look after each other in this company."
"You were amazing with that bow, Kili," Hannah complimented.
"Thanks, I've practiced," Kili smiled.
"But I think I could do better," Hannah teased. "If you taught me."
"We'll get to it, don't worry," Kili said.
They finally reached the end of the tunnel.
Maya and Hannah gazed at the stunning sight.
"Rivendell…" Thorin said. "You lead us to the enemy?"
"They are not your enemy, Thorin," Gandlaf said.
They walked down the path until they got to the courtyard where an elf stood there and spoke something in a different language to Gandalf.
"I must speak with Elrond," Gandlaf said.
"My Lord Elrond is not here," the elf said back.
"Not here? Where is he?"
Just then a horn was blown and everyone turned back to saw a group of elves on horses riding towards them. All the dwarves put Bilbo, Maya, and Hannah in the middle. The horses circled them and stopped as Elrond spoke.
"Gandalf," Elrond greeted.
"Elrond," Gandalf said back.
They started to converse in Elvish.
"I wish there were subtitles," Hannah whispered to Maya.
"That would help," Maya said.
"Who are these two?" Elrond questioned as he looked at Maya and Hannah.
"These are our new additions to the company. Elrond, this is Maya and Hannah. Or better known as Gariel and Eruanna."
Maya and Hannah looked confused.
"Wait, what?" Maya asked.
"Maya, this is the reason why you and Hannah were sent back here because this is your actual home. Your father was a dwarf and you mother was just a human like you. When your father died, your mother had given you birth and named you with a dwarvish name, Gariel."
"And you Hannah. Your father was an Elf and your mother was also human. Your father also had died but it was an unknown cause. No one really knows what had happened. You mother named you Eruanna. But did you know that your mothers were friends too?"
Maya and Hannah were speechless as with everyone else. Everyone around them looked stunned and whispered to each other.
"The two children that disappeared, I remember now," Elrond said.
"I knew I couldn't trust Hannah, she's one of them," Thorin snarled to Hannah.
"Stop it!" Maya said. "Leave her alone!"
"She's not allowed to come with us," Thorin said.
"What!" Maya was starting to get furious. "Because she's half-elf? That's really low, Thorin, and you know it!"
Thorin didn't say anything.
"If you don't let her continue, then count me out! I mean it!"
Thorin looked back to see Maya's serious face. He walked up to her.
"Let's set the duel in two days. If you win then, she can come. But if you lose, she will not be permitted to come."
"Deal," Maya said.
"Thorin, such a stubborn dwarf," Gandalf said.
Elrond had said something in Elvish that made the dwarves stir.
"What is he saying? Does he offer us an insult?" Gloin said with anger. All the dwarves started to get angry.
"No Master Gloin, he's offering you food." Gandalf said.
Everyone huddled together and whispering to each other.
"Ah, well in that case, lead on," Gloin said. Everyone walked up the stairs except for Maya and Hannah.
Hannah's face was red.
"What's wrong?" Maya asked.
"That's why he hates me so much," Hannah said. "Because I'm an elf and now everyone hates me."
"They do not. Thorin's always stubborn, what are you going to do?" Maya said. "Listen, you're my friend and friends stick up for each other no matter what."
Hannah looked down.
"Hey, I'm just as shocked as you are," Maya said.
"You're technically one of them," Hannah said.
"But I still don't feel like it," Maya said. "And now I have to duel Thorin."
"I'm sorry that it led to that," Hannah said. "But I do thank you for standing up for me. No one really ever stood up for me, it was always the opposite."
"Well, you stood for me during rehearsals when Becca kept taunting me," Maya smiled.
"She's such a bitch. I don't know why Annie is friends with her," Hannah said.
"Annie doesn't know how cruel Becca can be," Maya said. "Let's go and eat."
"Wait," Hannah said. "What about Thorin?"
"Pretend he's not there," Maya suggested.
"And Kili?" Hannah asked.
"You do like him, don't you?"
Hannah slightly nodded and Maya smiled.
"Aww… Hannah…"
"You're so girl, Maya," Hannah commented.
"I know, but you admitted it, which makes it really cute."
"What about you and Fili?" Hannah questioned. "You two must be in love."
"We're not in love!" Maya blushed.
"But you do like him, right?"
Maya smiled and nodded.
"But don't tell him."
"Awww!" Hannah squealed and realized what she was doing. "Dammit, now you have me doing it!"
Maya laughed.
"Now can we go eat?" Maya asked.
"Yeah, who cares what Thorin thinks," Hannah said. "He won't stop me from eating."
Dun, dun, dun! I wonder if any of you guys figured that out before this chapter was posted! If any of you wanted to know how to pronounce Hannah's real name, Euranna, it is (Air-oo-ahn-nah) and Maya's real name Gariel is pretty easy to pronounce but just in case it is (Gah-ree-ell). I hope you guys liked that twist and I know some people won't like it but it's my story (not to sound mean or anything) but I did like the idea. So what will happen when Kili now knows that Hannah is half-elven? And what will happen with the duel between Maya and Thorin because it will be intense! And poor Hannah and her asthma but Fili and Kili were there to save the day! :D And what happened to their mothers since their fathers died? And what did Elrond mean by "The two children that disappeared?" How did Maya and Hannah end up in our world and why were they sent there? So many questions! But seriously, I really hoped you guys liked it and I'll try to post more chapters! I won't stop writing because I have plans for Maya and Hannah and I really like their back story! I also wonder if anyone reads the bold stuff because this is a lot to read, I guess, hehe. Please review! If you have any questions or whatever, review or pm me if you want! :D
P.S. I love you guys so much for reviewing, it really does help me write this story! And if it takes me a while to post I'll tell you or if I go on hiatus or something like that! I think the next time I post it will be a super long chapter or I'll post two chapters, you guys tell me. :D BYEEEE! :D
