"Yes." Thorin says.

You stare blankly at him, "Yes... means?"

"Oh, sorry, it means I would like to know you better." he smiles.

You smile, "Thank you, Thorin, for understanding." You sit in comfortable silence together, both deep in thought.

"Now, lets go inside and see how the others are getting along with Beorn." Thorin soothes your frayed nerves.

You walk back to Beorn's house together, enjoying the moment. Entering, you hear Beorn's voice, "I don't like dwarves, they're greedy and mindless of those they deem lesser than themselves, but orcs, orcs I hate much more... what do you need?"

                                                                                       *****

                                                                  [A couple of minutes later]

"We need to get moving, we can't stay the night. Thank you, for your hospitality Beorn." Thorin smiles.

"Not to worry, Thorin... can I talk to you privately for a minute?" Beorn says.

They walk off to the side. You can't hear what they say, but as you turn your head away, out of the corner of your eye you see Beorn gesturing towards you. Thorin finally finishes with Beorn and hops onto a beautiful brown pony that Beorn provided. We all mount and start following him. A little while later you catch, Thorin glancing at you. You ride up next to him, "Are you okay, Thorin? You look a bit sad if not angry." you say

Thorin sighs, "I don't want to talk about it."

You look, Thorin straight in the eye and say, "I told you my secrets, don't you think it would be fair if you did the same?"

Thorin sighs in defeat, "Fine," at this you grin in reply, "Beorn, told me... that I should tell you to leave the company and not take you into Mirkwood, no matter what."

You look at Thorin's forlorn face, "Thorin, I am willing to get caught if it means coming along with you."

Thorin smiles, "Thank you, Naur, if we do get caught I will die fighting for you..."

"No. No, no need, rather one of us dies than two... you still have a kingdom to run." you shrug.

"Now its my turn to say no. No...... you see....." Thorin pauses, "you see I can't see my life without you now."

"Thorin....." you start to say before Thorin cuts you off.

"No, don't, Thorin, me... I love you.... I really can't lose you." Thorin chokes.

You check to see if anyone is looking, phew, nobody is looking. You lean over to Thorin's horse and tenderly squeeze his arm, "Don't worry we just won't get caught." you smile.

The company travels for a couple more hours before the entrance to Mirkwood, "I must leave you here, wait for me at the overlook near Esgaroth. Do not enter that mountain without me!" Gandalf says while galloping off.

                                                                                             *****

     [A couple of hours later... I don't know... this forest is even making me -the narrator- dizzy!!!]

"ARGGHH, how many hours have we been here?" Thorin says, while gasping for air.

"I don't know, this forest is making me sick!" you reply.

"We're lost.... I'm going to climb this tree and get to the light!" Bilbo says with inspiration.

"We will all wait for you down here." Thorin says.

While the rest of the company is waiting for Bilbo to return, they begin to fall asleep, "No, NO!!! Stop, we mustn't let the magic in the forest win, please... stay awake." even as you say theses words everyone but you is asleep.

You climb up into the trees to see what is taking Bilbo so long. Meeting him half way up, Bilbo happily reports, "I saw it!!! I know which way we need to go, we're nearly there!"

"Good, now, lets go and wake the others." you say, as you start climbing down again.

When you get to the bottom the dwarves are nowhere to be seen, "No, awww, great, just great!" you sigh.

You see something approaching and run away into the forest. In your haste to get away you totally forgot about Bilbo. Got to find the dwarves... you think over and over again. Eventually in what seemed like hours of wandering you hear sounds of battle, Great, the dwarves are obviously fighting whatever caught them... Go Thorin!!!! You climb a tree nearby and look to see what is happening, what you see horrifies you, about fifty giant spiders lay dead on the ground. You look up to see elves marching the dwarves off, as you look on in horror!

I have to get them out of there.... but how? You follow the elves to their castle and wait till the doors are closed, then your plan goes into action. First you make a roaring sound in the forest to the left of the guards, diverting their attention. There after you race up to the gate from the right. Pulling open the just wide enough, you slip in. Sweet I made it... now to find the dwarves. You had never had the time to admire the beauty of the castle before, now you quickly take it all in... the giant trees, the winding paths... Its so beautiful.

You creep through many halls and stairs before you finally find the dungeons, Different dungeons to the ones that I stayed in, ​​​you muse, "Ha! Got you.... I knew there was another one of you out there. Come with me." a familiar voice says, dragging you to the Throne.

"......I myself suspect a more prosaic motive, attempted burglary or something of that elk." you hear the unforgettable voice of Thranduil.

"Father...." Legolas says only to be cut off by his father.

"What is it Legolas, I'm busy can't you see?" Thranduil seethes.

"Oh it is important, I found the other member of the company." Legolas smiles.

"Oh, well then, take off its hood." Thranduil says.

Legolas pulls off your hood and everyone in the room gasps, (all for different reasons) Legolas and Thranduil gasp because of who you are, Thorin gasps because he never really knew how beautiful you really are, "So, you have returned pet? How kind of you." Thranduil says evilly.

"I.... am not your pet... I will never do anything for you again, NEVER." you try to keep tears in but they stream down your cheeks by the end of your sentence.

"Whats wrong? Why are you sad Dragon? ​​​​How can I help your tender little heart?" Thranduil says sarcastically.

"Leave her alone!" Thorin growls.

"Oh sorry, do you to know each other? Awwww, my little dragon brought me a gift." Thranduil spits, "Send her to the torture chambers."

You let out a low but audible growl, "No, you don't" you snarl.

You shift into the largest dragon you can change into, "Thorin, hold on!" you say while picking Thorin up and putting him on your neck. You fly under heavy elvish archer fire. Making straight for the dungeons, you arrive at the cells and Thorin shouts to the dwarves, "Get away from your doors!!!" the dwarves obey. You blast the doors with a bolt of *light, the dwarves come running out and see Thorin on a dragon's neck, they stop and shake in fear, "Get on," you say in annoyance, "these elvish arrows don't tickle!"

The dwarves all jump on to your giant back and hold on for dear life, you ready for a long flight, "WAAAAAIT!!!!!!" shouts Bilbo, while running toward you. You wait for Bilbo then you take off and blast a whole in the front gate and fly off toward Lake-town.

*The dragon you shifted into isn't a fire drake but a light drake.
