Hi everyone,

I have put up a poll on my profile. If everyone could please go over and vote it would be much appreciated. I have been having issues with not receiving any of my emails from fanfiction and have even emailed them about the issue and haven't heard anything back. Thankyou.

Anyway, here's the next chapter.

Enjoy.

~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~ Chapter 10 ~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~

"Your letter opener? Sure. Want to go get it?"

Bilbo nodded and stood up as Thorin stood up himself and walked a little closer to Dwalin and Balin as Bilbo walked inside and back to where he had slept the night before and quickly picked up his sword and attached it to his body and walked back out. He saw Thorin was fighting both Dwalin and Balin and he was holding his own incredibly well. Bilbo heard chuckling and saw Gandalf and Beorn looking at him as they laughed.

"What are you both laughing at?"

"Nothing Little Warg."

"Surprised to see Thorin take two people on?"

"Yes. Is that a problem?"

"No, no of course not." Gandalf said, eyeing the sword at his hips as puffed away at his pipe. "Going to get lessons?"

"Yes. Might as well learn to use this properly. I got lucky last time."

"That you did Bilbo. That you did."

Bilbo turned back to Thorin, Dwalin and Balin who were still fighting. Bilbo watched as Thorin knocked Balin's sword from his hands and then knocked him to the ground and quickly stabbed the ground beside him before he blocked Dwalin's attack. Balin waited till they moved away and then climbed to his feet and moved off to the side and watched. Bilbo realised that Thorin had won his battle with Balin and now was busy fighting with Dwalin. Bilbo watched as the two swung their weapons at each other before Thorin finally was able to knock Dwalin's axe aside and Thorin thrust his sword under his chin making Dwalin freeze.

Bilbo saw Dwalin glare at Thorin as he took a step back and headed off toward Balin. Bilbo walked up to Thorin who smiled at him and held out his hand. Bilbo took his hand and Thorin led him away from the others and through the trees.

"Where are we going?"

"Well I thought you'd like it better if they weren't staring at you like they were earlier. Besides they would all try to put their own thoughts in and it can get confusing when you are just learning."

Thorin and Bilbo walked through the trees till they found a small area covered with trees but enough space for them to train, not realising how far they had actually walked.

"Alright so we'll start with basics. Draw your sword."

Bilbo pulled his sword from his sheath and held it out in front of him. Thorin walked around and adjusted Bilbo stance and how he was holding it. They did this for a while, Bilbo sheathing and unsheathing his sword till he got it right and it became habit before moving on.

They spent hours in their little training area before they finished and were just relaxing. Both were laying back on the ground, just in the shade of the trees staring up at the sky. Bilbo stopped talking all together and sat up. Thorin frowned before he sat up as well, looking around to where Bilbo was and saw nothing.

"Bilbo? What is it?"

"Shhh." Bilbo said putting up his hand for a second and then his eyes widened in horror. "Get up, we need to leave."

Bilbo dove at Thorin, pushing him to the ground just as a warg jumped from the bushes, missing them both and ending up rolling a good distance away. Bilbo and Thorin climbed to their feet and Bilbo quickly stood in front of Thorin and removed his clothing as the warg climbed to his feet. Bilbo shoved his sword and clothes to Thorin and shifted. Bilbo crouched low and growled at the warg. Bilbo jumped and knocked it to the ground and was able to kill it by biting at its neck. It was an old, weak warg. Bilbo back up towards Thorin who had his sword drawn and Bilbo's sword and clothes beside him on the ground.

"Thorin climb on my back."

"What?"

"Climb on my back. Azog's wargs are close. It's just them and there are too many for us to fight."

Thorin look at Bilbo for a second before putting his sword away and grabbing Bilbo's things and quickly climbing on his back. Thorin held on firmly to Bilbo's fur and tried to not pull it out.

"Hold on tight."

Bilbo took off running through the forest and started weaving his way around the trees. Bilbo slammed to a halt when he saw a warg in front of him and could smell others coming and quickly darted off to the side with the warg chasing them. He could hear the wargs taunting him and knew he needed to do something to get them both out of this alive.

"I can't out run them. You need to run and get Beorn and the others."

"I'm not leaving you alone."

"Thorin if you don't, we are both dead. I'll keep running to hold them off. They are after me not you."

"Bilbo no!"

Bilbo stopped and shook Thorin from his back and darted back towards were they were so the wargs didn't go near Thorin.

"BILBO!" Thorin yelled before growling in anger before deciding that Beorn would be able to find Bilbo better than he would now and ran back to the house.

Bilbo ran from Thorin and he could sense his anger for what he did, but he was glad that the wargs did what he thought and were now chasing him. Bilbo yelped as he was slammed into from the side and he rolled over and climbed to his feet. There were three wargs circling him. Bilbo growled as they circled and he tried to keep all three in sight, as he knew more were coming.

"We finally got you alone. Our master will be pleased when we drag your dead carcase back to him."

"You will have to try first."

Bilbo waited a second and as they leapt at him Bilbo saw a gap in between two of them and leapt for it and ran back towards Beorn's house. He heard howls of anger as they took off after him. Bilbo was growing tired now with all the running. He heard a roar of Beorn's but as he heard this he was tackled to the ground and the other two wargs leapt on top of him and started to bite and scratch at him. Bilbo fought back as much as he could and he was knocked onto his back as the other wargs caught up. Bilbo whimpered when they backed off and there was a jaw locked firmly around his neck. He saw the pale warg walking towards him. All the orcs were nowhere to be seen and Bilbo couldn't smell or hear them near.

"You should have chosen differently that day and you wouldn't be in this place."

"I will die before I give up the dwarves."

"I see your intended has accepted you, but you have not mated. Pity it will never happen."

Bilbo growled as the pale warg walked around him as he spoke. Bilbo wince when the warg holding his neck squeezed his jaw tighter. There were taunts and sneers from the wargs gathered and from what Bilbo could see was about six with more behind. Bilbo frowned when the pressure on his neck disappeared and he heard the warg back off. Bilbo went to push himself to his feet when he was knocked from behind and he fell over and saw the pale warg walking closer. Bilbo growled and climbed to his feet as fast as he could and was able to land a blow to the pale wargs face with his paw before he was knocked to the ground. Bilbo whine and tried to stand but he was leapt on by five wargs nearby and bitten and scratched. Bilbo couldn't move to fight back and when they finally stopped he could barely see as the pale warg stalked towards him. Bilbo tried to move as it stood over him, paw on his shoulder and jaw over his neck.

Bilbo waited for the pain, but it never came as he heard a roar sound from somewhere next to him and cries of the dwarves. Bilbo felt the pressure on his shoulder and neck disappear and he saw a shadow fall over him. Bilbo whined and he felt Beorn nudge his shoulder gently to check on him before he stalked over the top of Bilbo and started fighting off the wargs. Bilbo slowly lifted his head and saw the dwarves fighting with the wargs that were stupid enough to stay as half had bolted when Beorn appeared. Bilbo saw the pale warg from across the fight and he growled low at Bilbo before turning around and leaving.

"Bilbo!"

Bilbo heard Thorin call out as he ran over as the fight died down and dropped next to Bilbo. Bilbo whined and tried to lift his head so he could start to stand.

"Bilbo stop before you hurt yourself. You stupid, foolish hobbit! What were you thinking?"

Bilbo whined feeling hurt, felt rejected again and not thinking clearly. Bilbo heard the others gathering around and Beorn walking over in his humanoid form.

"Dwarf stand aside."

"What are you going to do?"

"He needs to be treated and soon. I'm going to take him back to my home."

"He will be treated by us. He is our hobbit. Our stupid hobbit at that." Thorin said in anger.

Bilbo shut his eyes at the words and was able to block his feelings from Thorin, but the connection between them was disappearing now with the hurtful words in Bilbo's mind.

"You need to stop talking. I'll take the hobbit back and you can meet us there."

Beorn walked around the other side as Dwalin and Balin moved aside to let him near Bilbo. Thorin glared at him as he gathered Bilbo's warg form into his arms and disappeared into the forest. Bilbo whimpered and whined at the jostling.

"Relax little warg. You will be fine. Your intended…" Was all Bilbo heard before he lost consciousness.
