The Lionheart (The Hobbit)

Chapter 6: Trolls

((Thorin POV))

We found a spot to stop for the night and got off our ponies. I started to give out orders until Tygr grabbed my hand. "Thorin I think it would be best not to stay here..." She said. "I would advise against it as well. We should move for the hidden valley." Gandalf said. I glared at him and pushed Tygr behind me. "I will not go near that place." I growled. "The elves can help us! Give us a place to rest, food, advice!" He said. "He's right Thorin...it would be smart." I glared at Tygr. "Be quiet. You don't understand." I said and turned away from here. "We're camping here." I said. "Hey! Don't get snippy with me just because I'm trying to save you skin! But if you want to be a jerk the fine!" She said before storming off into the forest. "No! Tygr wait!" I yelled after her. "No use. She'll come back though." Gandalf said before storming off as well.

"Where are you going?" Bilbo asked him. "To be alone with the only person who makes sense!" He said. "Who?" "Myself Mr. Baggins!" He said before leaving.

"Where did Tygr go?" Fili asked. I sighed and shook my head. "I'm not sure. She stormed off." I said. "...what do you do?" Kili asked. I glared at him then left.

((Tygr POV))

I stormed off into the woods. "That damned dwarf has an ego to big for his beard!!!!" I yelled as I kicked a tree. I stopped and sighed. "Maybe I should go back...NO! NO TYGR! You can not roll over for him like a little puppy! Even though he has...an amazing voice...body...eyes...oh his ey- STOP IT!" I said to myself.

I sat down on the ground and grunted. I too the bandage off my hand and saw the scar was still there...I couldn't help but smile. I stood and brushed my butt off from the dirt and walked a little deeper into the forest. The sent I was smelling earlier before I advised Thorin to move on was getting stronger. I gagged...trolls.

"I...I have to warn them!" I said to myself before running back towards camp. It was already very dark out...thank god I can smell dwarves from miles away. I ran back into camp but...nobody was there. "H-hello?" I said no reply. Suddenly my ears perked up and I hear the sound of the dwarves yelling...that they where gonna kill Bilbo...what?

I formed into my medium form and snuck towards the troll camp. I peaked through the bushes to see all the dwarves ether being cooked or in sacks. I saw Thorin, he looked annoyed and pissed off. I noticed Bilbo was trying to buy them time. "The secret...is too...SKIN THEM FIRST!" He yelled and an uproar of threats where thrown at bilbo. "What a load of rubbish! I've eaten plenty of dwarves with their skin on!" One said. I slowly formed myself into my largest fighting form, I was ready to kill some trolls. I slowly felt myself slipping away from control. All I knew was I knew myself well enough to trust myself to go after the enemy and not the dwarves. I watched one troll lift Bombur over his mouth. Game on.

((Thorin POV))

I watching in terror Bombur being lifted and about to be eaten. In the blink of an eye. A massive black wolf sprang from the bushes and sunk their teeth into the trolls arm. It screamed in pain and threw Bombur back onto the pile. The wolf jumped to the ground and rammed against the sticks holding the other dwarves over the fire over, getting them to semi safety.

The wolf stood in front of us and was shaking in anger and it's mouth was foaming. "What the bloody hell is that?!!" The troll yelled holding it's bleeding arm. "You'll never beat her!!! Your weaklings compared to her!!" Fili and Kili yelled. 'Tygr?!' I thought. "These dwarves are taking us for weaklings!!"

"THE DAWN WILL TAKE YOU ALL!!" Gandalf yelled appearing and smashing the boulder in half allowing light in to turn the Trolls to stone.

We all cheered until we sat the large black wolf turn to us with it's teeth bared. "Tygr..." Fili muttered. Suddenly...she formed back to her human form though one thing was a miss....her clothes. She shrieked and used her tail to cover her lower privates and covered her chest with her arms. "Could you help me instead of staring!!?" She snapped. "Uh...uh...Here!" Kili grabbed an extra shirt of his out of his bag and tossed it to her. She put it on and it was like a dress on her. "Thank you...I have extra clothes in my bag. I'll give this back to you when I change." She said. "No problem." Kili said.

I looked at Gandalf, "where did you go?" I asked him. "Looking ahead," he replied simply. "What brought you back?" "Looking behind, good thing I did too." I scoffed. "No thanks to your hobbit." Gandalf gave me and odd look. "Bilbo had the mind to okay for time. And Tygr might have just saved your life. You owe her thanks." Gandalf said. I nodded.

Tygr looked at me and kept a straight face. She turned and walked back to our camp sight. I followed her.

Once we reached the camp sight she pulled off the shirt Kili had given her. I couldn't take my eyes off her. "Why are you looking at me?" Heard her say. I immodestly looked away. I watched her wrap some clothed around her chest, completely covering herself, however leaving her stomach showing. She pulled on lose pants then turned to me. "Well are you going to say something or just stair at me?" She asked. "Thank you...for saving us. I'm also sorry for earlier." She sighed and walked to stand in front of me. She placed her small hands on my chest. "Thorin...you need to learn how to take other peoples feelings, and ideas into consideration. You may find that some people other than you are smart enough to know what this world holds." She said softly before reaching up and gently kissing my cheek. "I will." I said in a low tone. She smiled and let go of me. "We should get back. I still have to give this back to Kili." She said holding his shirt. "Waist are you not going to put a shirt on?" She shook her head. "If you havnt noticed my clothes rip when I go into my full form. So I don't see a need in waisting clothing." I nodded and led the way back to the company.
