Dream pains
Chapter 3: All dreams have meanings, even if you don't like them.
Karmen: Well, that not ominous at all.
Me: Nope, not at all. I don't own LotR.

There was a stunned silents as Karmen told us about her dream. It was very difficult to believe. "How long have you been having this dream again?" asked Gandalf. "Since the first day of summer break in May. So," she counted on her fingers "Two months." another silents. Karmen sighed and stared up at the sky. "Mom always said that all dream have meanings." then she smiled and whispered "At lease the stars are the same." we all followed her gaze. "The stars are the same where your from?" asked Frodo. Karmen nodded "Yeah, the same constellations and everything. Even the ones Mashell and I made up. She laid down and traced patterns in the stars I never saw before. "The Red Emerald. We called it that because it has a red star in the right corner." she pointed it out. "Mashell always wished on that red star. I never really tried, I thought it was just child stuff." Boromir turned and looked at her "You're still a child you know." he said and Karmen smiled weakly "Not really," she sat up and stared forward sadly "you tend to grow up fast when you have no choice" she said standing and taking her leave. We watched her leave. "She is homesick." said Frodo and I nodded and walked after her.

I sat in a tree staring up at the sky. I figured that if I got closer to it the star would hear my wish. I sighed and wished with all my heart. I just wanted to go home. I heard a rustle of leave next to me and opened my eyes. Legolas had climbed up and sat next to me. "Hey, Legolas." I said looking back at the stars. He smiled "Why don't you show me more of those constellations you were talking about earlier. I smiled and pointed them out. "Over there is the running unicorn, and there is the funny monkey. That one is my favorite. We called it tri-world." I to three stars in a perfect triangle. "Why is it called that?" ask Legolas "Back home, I like to write stories. There is a series I'm plan to publish called the three combined. Three world, Three girls, Three symbols, and one last chance." I scratched the back of my neck and laughed nervously "I'm boring you, aren't I?" Legolas smiled kindly "Not really, that story sounds very interesting. I would like to hear more sometime." I blushed and nodded. "Hey, you two," called a voice. We looked down and saw Aragorn looking up at us "come down, it's time for bed." "Okay!" I called jumping from my spot. I caught the last branch before I hit the ground then let go again. I landed gracefully on my feet and spread my arms wide for balance. Aragorn clapped and Legolas climbed down "You know it's less dangerous to climb down." said Legolas. I laughed "Where is the fun in climbing when jumping is faster and easier." We went back to camp and went to sleep, to my relief I didn't have the dream. What was strange was I didn't dream at all.
The next morning we rose early. About noon we stopped to rest at a bunch of ruin looking things. Boromir was teaching Mary and Pipin how to fight while Frodo, Sam, and I watched. There was a point where Boromir accidentally stab Pipin in the hand a bit. At which point both hobbits dropped their swords and tackled the man. We all laughed as there were shouts of "I've got him, I've got him." and "He's got me!" from the two. Suddenly, I had a strange feeling in my gut. My gut was never wrong before, so I stopped laughing and looked around. There was an odd dark patch in the sky. It was dark, and moving fast, AGAINST THE WIND. I stood and looked at it. Legolas noticed, too. Before I could comprehend what was going on, I was rushed into a hiding place by Boromir. We hid as black birds flew over us. A whole flock of maybe two hundred strong. Normally, I love animals, but the feeling I got from these birds made me very, very glad they couldn't see me. Shivered as the last bird flew by. We slowly came out of hiding places. "Okay, I'm going to quote one of my favorite books now. WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WAS THAT?"
