The Skinchanger's Human Mate

Chapter Two

Lots of swearing and bears and mentions of zombies. 

Liliy went to move and check what time it was, only her mattress wasn't as soft as last night. "What the fuck?" She looked around and saw that she wasn't in her room, in fact she wasn't even in the building, she was in the woods. Much like the woods that were outside her grandmother's house when she was little. She looked around and then saw a bear and was sort of freaked out. "What the fuck! Oh My God!" She then remembered that maybe she should not be giving away her position to the bear. Then there was a shriek unlike anything she had ever heard, and it wasn't coming from the bear. Soon the giant bear was running in her direction, and she tried to stand, fighting with herself on standing or laying on the ground so that the bear can't see her. The bear jumped over her and roared at something that was behind her that made a squealing sound like a hurt pig. "Run! Quickly!" An old man's voice called out through the woods and Lily decided to follow that voice, he might have some idea about where she was. "This way! Quickly!" She followed and saw a lot of short, bearded men with that guy and ran closer to them. Turning around to see where the bear was instead, she saw what looked like a rotting corpse on a giant wolf that also looked dead. "Why are there fucking zombies!" She tried to run faster except she had no shoes on and was running in the woods, with rocks, sticks, and gross squishy things that she didn't want to identify. "Come quickly." The man yelled and waved them towards this giant garden looking thing. She stumbled and was caught by a blonde dwarf who held her arm while still running. "Come on, you're not safe out here." He was practically dragging her along and as they were running the giant bear broke through the clearing in the trees and was running towards them making Lily run faster. All of them ran through the gate and bared it while the bear was trying to get its head through the gate. "What the fuck was that? Why the fuck are there zombies?" She was panting from running and looking at the guys around the house they walked into and locked the door. "What is a Zombie?" The blonde who took her arm and was still holding her arm. "Let go of my arm." She ripped her arm out of his and was close to screaming at everyone. "What are you doing in the Wilderlands?" A dwarf with a semi long dark brown beard asked in a demanding tone. "The what now?" She looked at him nearly smacking herself in the face with her braid. "You are not from here, are you?" The old man looked at her and she nodded. "How did you get here?" He looked at her and she looked a little confused. "I had a book. Fell asleep and then woke up here." She waved her arms to indicate the whole of wherever the hell she was. "You are in Middle Earth. No idea how you got here but I will find out and help to send you back if I could." The man said and he then turned to smile at her. "I am Gandalf. Gandalf the Grey and I am a wizard. This is Bilbo Baggins a Hobbit from the Shire. This is Balin, Dwalin, Oin, Gloin, Groin, Dori, Nori, Ori, Bifur, Bofur, Bomber, Kili, and Fili. This is the leader of our company Thorin Oakenshield." Liliy looked at them and then at the blonde who helped her not fall and die. "I have a few questions." She looked at Gandalf who was leading them chairs well they nearly all fit in five and Lily was given her own, and it had nice soft furs on it, and it smelled amazing. "Ask your question child. But only after you tell us your name." Thorin said while being stuck with Fili and Kili. "I am Lily. Lily Aconite, and I want to know if any of those Zombie thingies and their zombie wolves are coming after us or into this house? Whose house is this?" She didn't miss the snickers being hidden behind hands. "Those were Orcs, and the wolves they have are actually called wargs." The old looking dwarf called Balin explained. "The house belongs to Beorn, the skinchanger." Gandalf said while Lily was looking at her feet and nearly gagged at the mud mixed with blood and slimy shit on all over them. "Beorn is our host, and he changes into a bear." All the dwarves, the hobbit and Lily looked at him with shocked and somewhat angry faces. "You broke us into the house of a giant bear while we are chased by rotting gross things on their equally rotting pets!" Lily tried to stand and then thought better when she saw how far the ground was. "Beorn is a friend of mine. I would be careful because he does not trust dwarves." The dwarfs cried out on outrage not that Lily blamed them he brought them to a place where they might get eaten by a skinchanger that almost killed them. In his defense he was in bear form, and they were breaking into his house. "He doesn't like dwarves, so you brought dwarves to his house and then broke into his house while he is animal form, and you are surprised that he tried to kill all of you?" She looked at them with a 'you are dumb' face. "You, absolute dumbass! Beorn has a right to try and kill you all! You are all so fucking dumb!" Lily screamed at them, and they all looked at her like she was crazy. "How this our fault?" Kili whined and she raised an eyebrow with the same 'are you dumb look'. "Again, broke into a giant bear's house and are confused about why he tried to kill you." They looked at her with slight apologetic looks. "So, this bear is human at times, right?" Lily looked at Gandalf who smiled at them. "Yes. He spends half his time as a bear and the other half as a human. In his bear form he is unreasonable. In his human form he can be reasoned with." He mumbled something under his breath. "When does he go back to his human form?" Lily felt like that was a very important question. "We will see him in human form in the morning. We all need to get rest." He showed them to a pile of hay and the dwarves were using their jackets as blankets and Lily was looking for somewhere she could be away from the men, mostly because she scared of them. She had a right to be scared of them, because she is a woman and they are men, small as they are she wasn't going to trust them or the wizard. She then decided to go outside in the garden area because she didn't want to stay in the house and be trapped with them. "I refuse to believe that this is real but maybe the book and drawings were actually the future. It would make sense if my time travel movies, shows, and books are true." She said to a goat that walked over to her and was leaning on her leg. "What am I going to do if I can't go home?" She asked the goat who moved closer to her as she rubbed the spot between the horns. "Baaaaaa!" She smiled and lightly laughed at the goat she liked. "Sweet baby." She kissed the horns of the goat and then heard a pained groan from the edge of the forest.
