Lily rolled her eyes as Caroline gave her a rather nasty look.
God only knows why, but Caroline was angry with her for Tim. Who'd like Tim
anyhow? Maybe Caroline did.the thought made Lily snicker out loud.
"What is so funny Lily?" asked Frodo, his dark blue eyes amused.
Lily blushed slightly.
"I was thinking about certain.things.and while I was thinking about the certain things, one of the things was a.er. amusing.thing."
"You do know you have your Father's logic, don't you?" asked Harriet, giving Lily an amused look.
"That isn't a compliment, either!" Merry Gamgee told her quickly, before she could come up with a smart-ass reply.
"How much longer?" moaned Mary, rubbing her sore knee for a moment.
"Until nightfall." Gandalf replied curtly.
Mary groaned, Pippin and Merry exchanging meaningful looks.
Indeed, they did walk until nightfall. This was the night Lily had the first nightmare.
* * *
Lily was walking in a black desert, dirk kicking up from the loose ground, everything was dead around her, which caused a depressing walk. There was someone in front of her, and beside her, the one beside her was helping Lily support herself. So tired.
"There is a cave around the bend." A man's voice said as he ran over, but Lily only heard it faintly.
"Hows Lily?" asked a girl.
"Still cold." Replied the man who was holding her carefully.
Lily realized he sounded familiar.Merry Gamgee?!? Then the girl was Harriet, and the male was.Faramir? This was too hard to think through the haze, so Lily just gave up thinking all together.
"Lily!" cried a voice in agony.
She could see again! But as soon as Lily could get a good look around, she wished she couldn't. She was on a battlefield, and dead bodies were all over. But a certain one caught her attention.
"Father!" Lily cried in horror, racing toward the dead body, two swords sticking out of him.
Tears blinded her and an intense burning began in her stomach, and worked its way up, causing her to retch all over the nearby Orc corpse. Lily prayed no one else had been killed, prayed with all her heart.
"Lily. Oh, Lily." murmured a voice from behind her, the scene again changing.
An especially ugly Orc stood there when she turned around, leering at her. It touched her cheek gently, the physical contact making Lily's skin burn. Lily growled deeply.
"You are such a tomboy. But I can change that." muttered the Orc, before Lily spit in his eye.
"You killed my Father! And who knows what you did to the others you dirty monster!" yelled Lily.
The Orc slapped her harshly splitting her cheek. Lily collapsed to the floor in pain.

Lily woke up, sweat and tears streaming down her white skin.
