Ok I am coming off a bit of a block so lets see if I can make this flow.

*~*~*~~*~~*~~~*~~~* Emotions *~~~*~~~*~~*~~*~*~*



I sat on the fence post outside Bag End breathing the chill night air. I turned my head and stared down the road but really not seeing it. My thoughts were in other places. Those hobbit boys! Why did they always have to be rotten mushrooms, they always had to go and "look out" for me. "I can look out for my own self!" I screamed not really aware until the words had already come out.

They always thought that it was there responsibility to watch out for me since my parents died. I lived by myself even though everyone said that I should go live with family. But then I had no family so there was nothing else that I could do, I couldn't live with any of my friends seeing as they were all lads and that wouldn't really work so I've just lived in my house. In fact I've lived by myself ever since I was fifteen. "I can take care of my own self." I said again but this time softly and more reassuring myself than stating it.

I stood up and walked to the roadside and stood in a mud puddle that was left from the brief rain that we had had this mourning. I stared at the ground very much oblivious to what was going on around me. I was full of "spit and steam", as some gaffers would say though if you looked at me you wouldn't be able to tell. I was having more of a battle with my thoughts; one side of me saying that I should go anyway and the other saying that I shouldn't try (the later always won). I was so passive, I hated it.

My feet sank slowly into the warm mud until they were gone and I could only see my ankles sticking out of the ground. I wiggled my toes a little bit though it was quite difficult seeing as the mud was thick and gooey and I was going to take me a minuet to get them out. 'But not yet' I thought to myself the mud felt quite good and reminded me of when I was still a child. My anger subsided as my mind was drawn to other thoughts, calmness washed over my body like a tide. I felt the tension in my shoulders relax, and then snap right back.

Someone had stepped up behind me and was sliding their finger down my back.

"Playing in the mud are we little princess." A voice came soft and cold in my ear.

I froze. I knew that voice, it was the voice I always dreaded to hear the voice that I ran from when I was walking late at night. Now I had forgotten my fears when I knew that he would be near by as was he was moving into Bag End in two days.

"What's the matter flower girl" Lotho's voice came soft and low again, "Don't you remember what I promised you last time?" He grabbed my arms pinning them tightly to my sides so that I could do nothing to retaliate (my feet were still stuck in the mud).

"Get away from me you bastard!" I screamed

He threw his hand over my mouth saying "Be quiet if you know what's good for you."

I bit down on his hand drawing blood. He quickly drew it back sucking on his fingers. "You bitch" he growled and cuffed me on the head with such force that I went black for a moment.

When I came back in a few seconds my head was swimming and my body was weak, still upright but hanging in his arms. And him, he was feeling me up, sliding his hands down my body but not daring to really rape me so close to Bag End and my friends. Oh how I hated him. My head ached from the blow and I felt as though I was going to cry, I tried to move but I was to weak to do anything and I could only hang here in his arms my feet still stuck in the mud. The first silent tear slid down my cheek, but then to my greatest joy I heard a door noise coming from Bag End. A door slammed and I heard feet running down the path. Lotho dropped me to the ground and ran away into the darkness.

My body crumpled and I lay on the ground in a heap. My dress was muddy and wrinkled. My body shook all over and I began to cry, silent tears streaming down my face.

My thoughts were wondering when I suddenly became of a voice by my side; someone kneeled down beside me and brushed their hand against my forehead.

"Get away from me!" I screamed, then crawled away wrenching my feet out of the mud.

"Daisy," the voice said "don't worry it's me."

I looked up and saw Pippin smiling sweetly back at me.

"Oh Pip, I…" but I couldn't finish. Tears filled my eyes and I buried my head in his arms.

"Daisy, it's ok." Pippin's voice came reassuringly. "He's gone now, come on now I'll carry you inside. Pippin picked me up with little trouble, I had always been short and skinny and though I was fast and nimble I could be easily restrained.

Pippin carried me into my room (I was visiting Bag End with him and Merry.) and set me down on my bed.

"Are you alright?" he asked sounding a little worried.

"I, I guess so," my voice came wavering. I sighed, "I shouldn't have been off my guard then none of that would have happened."

"Wait Daisy I don't understand, why were you off your guard? What happened? Who was that?" Pippin really sounded worried now

"No you wouldn't" I laughed bitterly "but I will explain it to you."
