I am loyalty (Thorin / OC )

Chapter 4 : 'well said'

Adrianna POV

"Hello?" I heard the faint sound of footsteps. I groaned, not wanting to awaken. But alas things never seemed to go my way. My eyelids fluttered open and I sat up, stretching.
I look down toward to sound of paper, as a note fell to the floor, seemingly out of mind air.

'What now Gandalf ' I though as I sat up properly on bilbos couch, picking up the note.
It read:

"Ah good morning Adrianna , I trust you slept well?"
(I scoffed , he should know know better.)
"Anyhow , I'm confident bilbo will join us, therefore I left you with him. The poor boy will need a ride after all. (Oh you cheeky little-!)
Oh and do not fear, your weapons, cloak and armour is safely with me as well as your satchel. I will see you again soon.
Oh and go easy on bilbo.

P.S. May bilbo borrow your handkerchief? "

Suddenly , I realised I no longer had my cloak, therefore bilbo would see my markings -.
Just then bilbo walked into the room and froze.

"Oh good morning , Adrianna . I was under the impression you had left with the oth-"he begin then trailed off.

'And...he sees them' I though bitterly.

" My god ! Y-your a...a shapeshifter!" Bilbo cried excitedly, making me roll my eyes a groan quietly.

"But how, how is that possible, I read the entire race was destroyed?" He asked, sadness filled his voice. I sighed again, standing up. Only now did I notice that bilbo looked ready the go out camping. I smiled.

"Ah, so you decided to join us then ,ay? " I chuckled , doing some more stretches in preparation for my shift . I hadn't done this in a while. Bilbo just looked at me expectingly , waiting for me to answer his question.
Then he saw what I was wearing and frowned.
I was currently just in my leather pants with my long sleeved, (off the shoulders), blouse. No shoes, no nothing. Though of course I still had on my crystal arrow head necklace and my two armlets. All my clothing had been charmed by Radagast long ago to shift with me, ( it's not nice shifting back naked , it's cold!).

"Indeed, Bilbo, my entire race was wiped out .You are looking at the last of my kind . However, that is a tale for another time. Secondly , I'm like this because...well you shall soon see. So, shall we be off? " I said making my way out the door.
I paused and turned back round to bilbo who was following behind me.

" Bilbo, I need you to promise me you will do exactly what I say in the next few moments. I'd prefer to get this over with as soon as possible and you complaining with not make it easy on me" I started down the path again ; a confused bilbo once again trailing me.

"Okay...but if I may, what's going to happen in the next few moments?" He asked , stoping besides me as I looked left and right , checking for hobbits. Thankfully there was none. So I turned back to bilbo.

"Let me show you. Please take a step back" I said , and jumped on the spot lightly , getting the blood flowing, then stretching one last time. I paused.

" oh and bilbo-" I said looking at him mischievously "- just don't fall off"
Bilbo began to ask another question but stopped as I began to concentrate.
I though of my horse form. I concentrated on every single aspect of it , I wanted to ease into this. Next moment my body followed my mind , and I stood before bilbo as a large , black, Friesian mare.
Bilbo stood gaping at me, his eyes wide. I laughed but it came out as a nicker.
I snorted then lay down ,bobbing my head as if to say 'hop on!'.
His face instantly dropped , as it dawned on him what I was saying.

"Oh no! No, no,no. we walk. I am NOT i repeat not getting on your back! Besides I can't ride." He said , clearly panicking.
I whinnied as if to say: ' for gods sake bilbo , you promised to do as I said.Now get on!'. Bilbo looked at me and groaned , then before he could back out of it , he jumped on my back. I winced as he held onto my mane for dear life , after folding the contract up then stuffing it in his pocket.

"Alright , now what?" He said , starting to sit up properly. I nickered and began to get up , internally laughing at bilbo's curses.

"This isn't too ba- Oh no , no ,no let me down! Oh bloody hell I'm gonna die before I evan leave home!" He cried as I stood up , stretching my legs to get used to them.

'Im offended ,bilbo. You have very little faith in me!' I though , before readying myself for take off.

I pawed the ground with my hoof ,enjoying the sound. The I took off cantering , much to bilbo dismay , down the cobbled road with bilbo ,who clung to my neck.

I cantered thought hobbiton , enjoying the amazed looks we were receiving as bilbo wailed his distress.
We shot past his neighbours who stopped what they where doing , to shake there heads or fists at us for :'disturbing the peace'.
I let out a joyful whinny , as I came towards a fence .
Bilbo spotted it also.

"Adrian-anna ! S-slow d-down! There's a fence! There's a fence, there's a fence there's a- AHHHHHH" he screamed as I jumped the fence , soaring high over it.
Bilbo would soon get used to riding , but not on me I hoped , my back already hurt.

"You! Mr.Bilbo! Where you off to?" One of bilbo's neighbours called after us.
Bilbo ( being the polite hobbit he was) shouted back over his shoulder.

"Can't stop! Were already late!" He cried

"Late for what?!" They hollered back.
And bilbo replied with the most childish thing I had ever heard , but I whinnied , agreeing with the man.

"I'm going on an adventure!"

'Well said bilbo' I thought ' well said .'
