The Lionheart (The Hobbit)

Chapter 18: I missed you

Tygr POV

I sat quietly against the wall and watched the dwarves go to bed. I sighed and felt my heart ache. I remembered absolutely everything, my parents, Beorn, my bond with Thorin and yelling at him in the cave. I felt my eyes water as my thoughts settle on my family...what's left of it. I hadn't told Thorin the entire truth about my family. I had seven brothers including Beorn. However when we where captured by Azog he seemed to set his focus on my family. He killed six of my brothers right in front of me. I never knew what happened to Beorn. I felt a tear streak down my face as I heard my brothers screams when they where tortured and killed. I covered my mouth and held in any noise I would have made. I stood and quietly opened the door before walking outside, closing the door behind me. My back slid down the wall as i still continued to hold in my cries. I shook my head trying to get those thoughts out of my head but there was no use. I sighed, allowing tears to flow and my uneasy breathing slowly. I noticed my hair was still in a braid that Fili did for me. I pulled out the little clip he used to keep it there and held onto it to give back to him later. I pulled my hair apart and let my hair flow gently with the wind. It had growl much longer, it's full length with down my my knees. I ran my fingers through my hair and stood. I breathed heavily trying not to make to much noise, afraid that the dwarves would be able to hear me. I felt my chest start to hurt from not letting out my sobs. "Tygr..." I heard a deep voice say. I looked up in shock to see my brother walking towards me. "B-Beorn?" I stuttered. I felt my eyes clouding with tears. He stopped and looked at me, still a whiles away. I watched him kneel down and hold his arms open. I couldn't hold it back anymore. I sprinted from the doorstep and hugged him around the neck as tight as possible, afraid if I didn't he would disappear and this would be just some sick cruel joke played by my mind. His arms tightened around me as I wailed I to his shoulder. This was real...I knew it was. "I thought you where dead!" I cried. "I thought you where..." Beorn said quietly. I realized he had stood up, still holding me. Beorn was three times the size I was, especially in height. I let go, tears still rushing down my face like a waterfall. Beorn sat down on a bench he had next to a small pond filled with various fish. I sat down on the cold stone, crossing my legs and looking at him. He whipped away my tears with his thumbs, "please don't cry, everything is alright" he said. I laughed halfheartedly as tears still fell. "I missed you so much...I looked everywhere for you." I whispered. I could hardly even look up at him. "I missed you too, I'm so happy your alright." He said as he placed a hand on my back. "I'm sorry I'm crying so much...I was thinking about mom and dad...and the others before I walked outside." I struggled out. Beorn nodded, "I think about them very often...what happened to you?" Beorn asked. I looked up at him and shook my head, "well...after I escaped from Azog I looked for you...or any of our people for that matter. When I didn't find any of them I went to Shire...well kind of, I live in a large tree just outside of the Shire." I said. "So what are you doing here?" He asked. "Well...Gandalf came and asked me to help the dwarves reclaim their home." I said. "What use could you be to them?" He asked. I laughed slightly, "I've been kind of just guarding them, helping them keep on track...and the latest was of helping them was helping them run from you." I said with a smile. Beorn laughed slightly, "well you know I'm not over fond of dwarves." He said. I nodded, "yes I'm well aware of that...but thank you for letting them stay." I said. Beorn nodded. "After I realized that it was you I decided you had good intentions." He said. I nodded then stood. "You've grown." Beorn said. I nodded and giggled, "so have you, nice beard." I said with a smile. "Nice tail." He remarked sarcastically. "Hey! Don't make fun of the tail!" I laughed lightly punching his arm. Suddenly Beorn hugged me tightly, "I missed you." He said. I felt myself starting to cry once again...if that where possible. I assumed I was out of tears. I hugged my brother tightly, "I missed you too...so much." I said.

Thorin POV

I watched out the window, Tygr hugging her brother and speaking with him. I also watched her cry endlessly. I felt a sadness in my heart seeing her cry. "So...that's her brother?" I heard Kili asked beside me. I nodded. "Big guy..." I heard Fili on the other side. We watched them again, then watched her brother pull her into another hug....and her start crying again. "Why is she crying so much?" Kili asked. "Well...that's the only family she has left." I said. Fili and Kili then got a surprised look. "What?" Fili asked. I didn't reply, only nodded. "We should leave them be...come on. Go back to sleep." I said. Fili and Kili went back and lays down. I looked at Tygr once more before going back to where I was sleeping before. I grinned slightly, happy that's she found her brother...though what pained me was that I knew that she now had all her memories back.
