Queen of His Heart
Fan Fiction-Hobbit/Chronicles of Narnia
I do now own the copyrights to the Hobbit; book or movie. Nor do I own any to the Chronicles of Narnia
A/N= 1) I got this idea off a You Tube video someone made. I figured I couldn't find a sequel to their video, so I am writing one here. 2) I also have messed with time frames and facts for the sake of the storyline, but remember this is FAN-FICTION nothing more.
Surprise
Ch 4
The night air lay still as Lucy and her friends slept. No sound could be heard, well almost none. Crunch, crunch, crunch the sound of feet coming close to the house barely could be heard and was missed by Diane and Jean. Lucy on the other hand was instantly awake. Out of old habit more than anything else she glanced around looking for something to use as a weapon. The only thing she could find was a poker for the fireplace.
"Yipee." She muttered to herself, but picked it up and stood near the door ready to swing if necessary.
"Hey, watch it! I'm a friend, remember?!" Frodo hissed as he saw Lucy ready to whack his head.
"Sorry, Frodo, wasn't sure who it was." Lucy lowered the piece of iron and asked if the home was his.
"It's actually Bilbo's, but ya, I stay here a lot." The two decided to go outside and talk so as not to risk waking Diane and Jean.
The stars blanketed the night's sky and Lucy inquired as to why he wasn't in the shire. Frodo was surprised she hadn't realized where she really was and that she thought this place to be middle earth. "All of that is over with. The ring's long since been destroyed." The hobbit was shocked when Lucy paled and for a split moment wondered why, but then remembered what Bilbo had told him once and instantly realized why. "He's still alive, Lucy, Thorin still has the breath of life in him."
"How? If what you say is true he should be dead. He's not immortal." At least from everything she'd ever heard the king of the mountain should be six feet under.
"He is now; just don't ask how. No one knows, and the ones that do aren't talking." Frodo couldn't have explained. No, all the hobbit knew was Thorin was very much walking around as he had in middle earth. When asked how he'd adapted to living in the new world compared to the shire Frodo responded, "This place resembles middle earth so much I hardly notice the changes."
A slight breeze blew as the two continued to talk. Mostly the subject lay around who was who, and where they were. "So, which dwarves, besides, Thorin are still around?" Lucy was attempting to take everything Frodo was telling her in.
"The ones you've heard of? Gimli, the rest living here had nothing to do with Thorin and his crew. No, the ones residing here are descendants of those who left long before any major battle. And I doubt you'll see any of them; they keep to themselves for the most part." Frodo wasn't surprised when Lucy asked where Thorin was and what he was up to.
"He lives up in the mountains quite a ways and doesn't mix a whole lot. Technically his people call him king, but he's got no real kingdom." Frodo assured her the old king had seen the error of his ways and had stopped going after treasure and would help any straggler passing his place. "The only person he really opens up to is Gandalf though and there's a truce between himself and the elves."
"That's nice to know." Lucy ventured to ask if he'd take her to where Thorin lived, but before an answer could be given Frodo heard a familiar screech.
"We've got to get inside, now." Lucy did not argue with the famous hobbit and both were inside behind locked doors within seconds.
"What's that?" Hissed Lucy as she was ordered to stay crouched down.
"That is…" Frodo quickly put out the fire, before he could tell her what the things were the sound feet hitting the floor could be heard and Diane appeared. Lucy quickly apologized for waking her.
"Anyone with half a brain wakes up at the sound of a Raygar's screech." Those words shocked Lucy who asked what a Raygar was and how Diane knew about them. A question Frodo was curious about too.
'Think of a harpie of Greek Mythology." Diane whispered low, "only they've male members among them." She then refused to reply how that particular bit of knowledge was not new to her.
Lucy thought she'd met every creature possible in between Narnia and meeting Thorin the first time around. Since she'd never heard the name Diane spoke Lucy had no idea why they had to put out the fire. "Don't most animals flee fire?" Both confessed they really didn't understand, or get that part and apologized for not being able to explain.
"It just needs to be done. The creatures will come near the house, but won't attempt to enter it if no fire is going." Sure enough the closest Raygar came to an abrupt halt as soon as the heat source was out. It's screech still filled the air and Frodo said he wasn't sure which was worse, having one of 'those' after him, or being chased by a ring bearer.
"That's bad." Lucy kept her voice low until the winged creatures had left. Frodo offered to sleep on the floor, but the former queen of Narnia refused saying this was his home, not hers, and she'd stay where she'd been. "But I do need to talk to my friend." Frodo took the hint and left the two alone to talk.
The fire stayed out as the two did not trust their unwanted visitors to return. Lucy glanced at the fireplace even though no flames danced and then back at Diane. "Keeping that bit of knowledge to yourself wasn't nice. What if they'd come our way before we had cover? And refusing to tell Frodo how you know about them is one thing, but me? Come on, we've known each other for how long?"
"I'm sorry, but it's been a long time, I really didn't think coming back was ever going to be an option." Diane sat close to Lucy and wasn't shocked when her friend asked about the again part. "It's been years, so long I'd almost convinced myself it'd all been a dream." She laughed with no heart in regards to the Raygars. "Those things aren't to be messed with. They're too temperamental. It's like they've no brains." Lucy attempted to get Diane to say more, but she wouldn't. "Please forgive me, but I'm tired." With that she went back to bed leaving Lucy with more questions then when they'd entered the mist.
