A Nightmare

As Leobelia fell into a restless sleep she tossed and turned dreaming about her past.
Dream/Flashback
"Mommy, mommy look what I found!" the small child form of Leobelia ran over towards her mother. Her mother had long beautiful black hair that was wavy and waist long. Her eyes were a brilliant sapphire blue, and they showed love for her young daughter.
"Leobelia, what on earth do u have my love?" Her mother giggled. "Look mommy a white rose, it is one of the roses from the garden, Father said that it was an eternal rose and would live forever. He also said it meant love. It is so pretty mommy, I wanted you to see it because if I show it to you that means I love you!" The small child jumped up and down in her small gown. Her blond hair was pulled back into a braid and her green eyes glittered in the sun.

It was autumn in the forest and the leaves fell gracefully through the air as the trees began to shed them for winter. Leobelia and her mother had been outside all day playing in the leaves and rose gardens. Once Leobelia ran off into the rose gardens Gabriel, Leobelia's mother, settled down with a book. When her daughter came back to her she set down her book to see what her young and curious daughter had brought her.
"I love you to my child. Where is your father?" Gabriel lifted her child into her arms.
"A band of orcs are in the forest, so he went with a few others to get rid of them." Leobelia smiled at her mother as she unbraided her hair, combing it out with her delicate fingers.

Suddenly a cold wind blew through the trees around Leobelia and her mother sending shivers down both their spines. Gabriel looked into the woods around them, her arms wrapping tighter around her child. Leobelia looked out to see what her mother was getting upset about, she saw it. A man stood in front of them. He wore black pants and a navy blue elfish shirt. His black cloak waved in the wind, and his dark blue eyes sparkled with evil. His black, wavy hair was cut at his shoulders and brought out his eyes even more. In his hand he was holding a sword, and elfish sword, its blade what a white metal and the handle was gold. A single sapphire was embedded into the sword's handle, in the eye of a dragon that was wrapped around the handle. Leobelia shivered when he looked into his devilish eyes.

Gabriel stood placing her daughter behind her, "What are you here for and what do you want with my family?" The man spoke in a deep voice that scared Leobelia even more, "I want to kill you Gabriel, for you are a trader to Sauron! Then I will take your daughter and train her under Sauron's rule, and she will become a fighter for us, she will kill her own race, and she will think of you as her enemy." He let out a bitter laugh and charged at Gabriel. Leobelia fell back into a pile of leaves as she watched her mother fight.

The man grabbed Gabriel and shoved her against the trunk of a tree, "Now you will die, and your child will watch helplessly, and when you are dead I will be sure to maker her life worse than you ever could imagine." After he spoke this he shoved his blade entirely into Gabriel's stomach and into the trunk of the tree. Gabriel's blue eyes shot open and filled with tears. A small stream of blood trickled from her mouth. Her eyes turned toward her daughter.

"Run Leobelia, run as far away from this man as you can!" Gabriel screamed as the man pulled the sword out of her stomach and grabbed her hair pulling her off of the tree. He shoved the sword through her neck, a scream could be heard, but it was not Gabriel's voice, it was Leobelia's. Blood spattered the ground as Gabriel's body fell to the ground. Leobelia ran over to her lifeless body.

"Mommy! Mommy, please wake up, mommy!" Leobelia screamed as she shook the blood covered body. Her eyes filled with hot tears, and her heart seemed to stop beating. She felt a hand on her shoulder and she looked into the eyes of the man who killed her mother, his blue eyes gleamed with the need to murder. Leobelia's eyes changed from fear to hatred in mere seconds. She turned and kicked the man in the face and then in the shin. She ran over to the bow and arrow her father had made her for hunting. She pulled back the string and shot as the man began to lunge toward her. Her arrow struck him right in the heart, but not before he lashed his sword making a cut along her back as she turned away from him.

Then Leobelia saw a bright light, and then an eye. The eye of Sauron, it's gaze bruning in her head.

end of flashback/ dream

Leobelia sat up in her bed, sweat trickled down her neck and arms and tears stained her cheeks. Her breathing was fast and her heart raced, her whole body shook with fear and guilt, guilt that she could not save her mother that day. She once again saw Sauron's eye in her dream, her back burned from the scar she got over five hundred years ago. Her head hurt from all of the crying she had done while she had slept. Leobelia closed her eyes and continued to remember that time.

flashback
Leobelia looked down at the lifeless body of the man, she leaned down to see if he was still alive, and when she heard no breath she ran over to her mother's bloody form. She could hear the crackle of leaves as the elves from the battle with the orcs began to run to the scene. Haldir was the first to reach his daughter and wife.

"Leobelia, what happened? Are you alright?" He placed his hand on his daughter's head. Leobelia nodded miserably. Haldir looked at his wife's bloody form and bit his lip softly taking his daughter into his arms and comforting him, more so trying to comfort himself. The rose the Leobelia had given her mother lay on the ground, its petals turned crimson red, the color of her mother's blood.

A few days later Gabriel was buried, everyone from Lothlorien was there and they were dressed in black, a few elves from far away kingdoms were there also, a Prince from Mirkwood, Elrond from Rivendale, Gandalf, and a few others. The prince was about her age, he had blonde hair and blue eyes like most male elves did, but his eyes were darker than most. The burial was like all others, sad and dark, it even rained that day. The rose that Leobelia had picked was held tightly in the small child's hands, still red. After that day that Gabriel died, Leobelia has had a scar on her back and has been able to see the eye of Sauron in her dreams. The rose was always kept near by, and an orb of power, the one Gabriel was wearing when she died, hung around Leobelia's neck, it was the power of light.

Leobelia shook her head and cleared her thoughts. It was still dark outside and Legolas slept peacefully where he lay. Leobelia stood up and pulled on her skirt and boots and walked out of the chamber. She found she was not the only one awake; Boromir was sitting on a bench all alone.
"It is not good for you to be awake." Leobelia said in a velvety voice, she sounded almost like a mother. Boromir looked up and her and sighed.
"It is not good for you to be up out of bed either my dear maiden." He smiled as she sat down next to him.
"What bothers you?" She asked as she looked around at her old home.
"The Lady of the Wood showed us her mirror, she said there is still hope for Gondor but I see none. My father is always looking to me to make things right, but I feel as though I shall fail." Boromir looked at her, she noticed that for once his eyes were soft, and meant truth and peace.
"As long as you know what you do is right then you shall not fail, about the Ring, it will not give you the power you need to keep Gondor standing; you need a king for that. As for power, all your power comes from your heart, always remember that, no matter what you should never give up, or give in to temptations such as the ring." Leobelia looked up away from Boromir, her words to him were like wisdom coming from one of the older elves, but she was young and still learning but yet she knew what she was talking about.

Boromir smiled and stood up, "I am going back to sleep, would you like me to accompany you to your room?" He asked putting out a hand.
"No thank you Boromir, I need sometime to think, but thank you for your offer, it was very kind of you, sleep well." Leobelia smiled at him and looked back to the trees. Boromir did not bother to ask her about her troubles, for he knew she would not tell him, she had always been bottled up to everyone, the only time she had shown emotion other than anger or happiness was when Gandalf fell to his death.

Boromir went back to bed and Leobelia stayed up another hour or so after he left trying to get rid of her thoughts. When she finally got herself to calm down she went back to bed. Her dreams were still horrible but she slept through them finally finding rest in a deep sleep.

The next morning Legolas awoke and bathed, Gimli, Aragorn and Boromir took their turns also. The hobbits ate their fill in food and then Lady Galadriel gave Frodo a present, the elves most precious star, to help him when all lights went out. Haldir hugged his daughter, "Your mother left this with me to give to you when you were ready, and I believe you are." Haldir placed a necklace with green and blue orbs around her neck.
"Father, these are the orbs of earth and water, they are the hardest to control." Leobelia looked at her father in disbelief. Haldir only nodded, and then he hugged her again whispering elfish chants in her ear. Leobelia smiled and nodded her head and followed the others to the boats.

The fellowship set off again towards Mordor. Now they traveled by water, and admired the great scenery of the river and the great trees around them, but little did they know that Saruman was planning their death as they went.
