Disclaimer: I don't own LOTR's but I own my original characters. I also read this one fic where an elf is raised by the Hobbits so it is kind of like that. I hope no one minds because I'm impatient and couldn't wait so here is my story. Author's Note: If in Middle-Earth they didn't have shirts that look like halter tops. Well now they do. And please don't flame me, this is my first LOTR's fanfic. Thank ya much!((( P.S.: Sorry about any missed spelled words. P.P.S.: Some great new ideas came to me so I replaced the origanl first chapter with this one. Lilith went with Bilbo on his adventures, so she knows how to fight. On the adventures she meet Boromir, Arwen, and Gimli in their respected homes, and became great friends with them. Ok? Cool. So here is the real first chapter.



The Prophecy

Chapter 1: The Visit



The visit to the hobbits home was relaxing, as it was welcoming to the elf maiden. But that did nothing for her fear.

"Please, Marian. Take care of my little Nerissa. For I know of things to come if she is to stay with the elves. A great evil will come after her if she is not hidden. If you wish, you may tell her of her real identity as Nerissa Riverwind, but do not let any other hobbit know other than that of the Baggens'." Said the Lady in white, " I shall miss my daughter greatly."

"Do not worry your self of such, dear friend. She shall be well taken care of. We will call her: Lilith Baggens, if we may." Marien calmed the Lady elf.

"It is a wonderful name. Good-bye, my daughter. We shall meet again." With that said the Lady kissed the babe on the forehead, and bid-farewell to her friends, for this would be the last time she would see them, for they would die soon.

~~~~ 1000 years later ~~~~~

"Tis' not fair Lilith, you know how I hate heights." Said Frodo to his sister in the top of the tree.

"Well than," popped a head of sandy blonde hair out from the branches said as she scared Frodo off the ground and into her arms, as she pulled him up into the tree. "What better way to get of that fear than face it?"

"You scared me! Again!" accused Frodo to his sister's face.

"Oh, dear brother of mine tis' the perfect hiding place from all hobbits. Specially, Sam." Said Lilith; her eyes sparkling like stars with mischief.

"But-"

"Shhhh, someone is coming." She said as Sam came into their view.

"Mr. Frodo? Lilith? Oh, fine be that way. I give up." Sam humped as he sat on the ground, none to gently. Then he heard two giggles that he knew of all to well. He looked behind him, and side to side in frustration. "How do you find such hiding places that no one can find you?"

"Easy Sam," said Lilith as she and Frodo jumped down the tree. "We are in the trees." Sam chuckled at that.

"I can't wait until Gandalf gets here. To hear his tails of the outside world." Frodo sighed in wistful thought of going out of The Shire, wishing for adventure to stumble his way.

"Yes, I know! I specially want to hear how Boromir, Gimli, and Arwen are! Oh, I wish I could see them again."

"Nerissa, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you had given up hope of seeing them again." Said a voice behind them that led to the road, which they all knew as Gandalf. They all smiled to each other. They turned to face him as Frodo Stepped in front of them.

"You're late." He stated, with a solemn expression on his face.

Gandalf matched his look, "A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggens. He arrives when he means." They both fought to keep a smile from their faces'.

Frodo and Lilith jumped and hugged Gandalf at the same time. "'Tis good to see you again, Gandalf." Lilith claimed while hugging her friend that she has known all her thousand years. Sam said his greetings to Gandalf and told them he would see them at Bilbo's party.

"Ah, yes. How is the old Hobbit?" asked Gandalf to the elf, and Hobbit. He looked at Lilith's features. 'She hasn't changed. Still the beautiful elf she's always been. With the mischief still in her eyes.' Lilith wore her usual clothing, a shirt that had thick straps and came together in the back, and supported her breasts (a sports bra) in a pink color, that accented her sun kissed skin, and lose fitting leggings in dark blue.

"He has the whole place in an uproar." Said Frodo.

"Half The Shire's been invited!" exclaimed the fairest of them all.

"Oh, well that should please him." Said Gandalf.

"He even has Lilith to sing." Said Frodo with a mocking smile on his face. "So she has to stay the whole time."

"I already feel the ache in my poor ears." Lilith pouted her rosy, pink lips.

"He's up to something." Frodo accused, while Lilith nodded her head in agreement. They look at Gandalf who had an innocent look upon his face.

"Oh, really?" The old wizard said.

"Fine, keep your secrets." Lilith and Frodo said in unison.

"We must go now, Gandalf. 'Tis good to see you back." Said Frodo as he made a noisy jump out of the wagon.

"Yes, 'tis good to have you back, dear Gandalf." Said Lilith as she kissed his cheek, and her elfish skills came to her, for she made no sound when she jumped out of the wagon. Gandalf smiled and said something, but Lilith heard him.

"'Tis good to be back, Nerissa. 'Tis good to be back."

@@@ Later that Night @@@

As Bilbo finished his speech he disappeared, and Lilith saw Gandalf go as well.

"Lily where did he go?" asked her brother in concern.

"Frodo, I think, he's leaving." She said in a whisper.

*** Later that night @ Bag Ends ***

Frodo and Lily had just walked into the open door of their home that their uncle had shared with them. Frodo saw the ring and picked it up and held it in the palm of his hand as if it held no power what so ever. They begun to speak to Gandalf and had received no answer. Lilith and Frodo walked over to him; Lilith placed her hand upon his shoulder, as he looked upon them.

"Bilbo's ring." He said looking at Frodo, and had a small, sad smile on his lips.
