Queen of Darkness: Thank you for your review!

A/N: Sorry for the long wait. I know it has been a long time since my last update. I knew what I wanted to do for this chapter, I just wasn't sure how to go about it. Not only that, I've been busy. Throughout the months of September and October, I was helping out at a local haunted house. That took up a lot of time.

I can't guarantee how often and regular updates will be from now on, but I do promise that, no matter how long it takes, I will finish this story. This is a promise you can trust.

Chapter 7 – Gandalf's Advice

The next day was all a big blur. Tammy was so lost in thought due to the dream she had the night before. She knew what she had to do, but she wasn't sure if she wanted to. Sometimes the harder thing to do is sit back, watch, and become completely passive. This was one of those cases.

The dream kept playing over and over in her mind, plaguing her thoughts. She just couldn't seem to forget about it. Every once in a while, her mind would wander, but then her thoughts would always be manipulated so that they would loop back to her dream.

"Gandalf," Tammy said when the fellowship stopped to rest. "Can we talk?"

"What is wrong?" Gandalf asked.

Tammy paused, wondering how much she should say. "I had a dream last night. This dream is not meant to be stopped."

"Then do not worry about it."

"It's not that easy. You see… I saw someone die. That's what the problem is. I know something bad is going to happen, but I can't do anything about it. I also can't just sit back and let it happen either."

Gandalf sighed and thought for a moment. "There is no easy answer to your dilemma. No matter what you decide to do, everyone will be affected. However, you said that it is not meant to be stopped. At this time, the reason for this may not be clear, but there is a reason. Follow your dream, however hard it may be."

Tammy lowered her head, the extent of what was to come finally sinking in. She knew Gandalf was right, and she almost smiled at the irony of Gandalf telling her to let him fall. "Thanks." She then walked away.

Three days had passed since Tammy's talk with Gandalf. After talking to Gandalf, she had kept to herself. The only time she ever talked to anyone was when she was spoken to. Even then, she only said what she had to say.

She tried to avoid looking at anyone as well. It was quite obvious that something was wrong. She couldn't stand all the looks everyone was giving her.

The fellowship was sitting around waiting for Gandalf to remember the way. He was their only guide through Moria. They had reached a large room that had multiple exits. He couldn't remember which they needed to take.

Deciding that she had nothing better to do, she decided to take a little nap until they could move on. Besides, ever since she had that dream of Gandalf's fall, she could barely sleep at all. She needed the rest. She hadn't been this tired since she managed to arrange her schedule at school so that she never had to wake up early.

Orcs were everywhere. The fellowship was scattered throughout a large stone room fighting off the mob of orcs. In the center of the room was Gimli, who was standing on top of a rectangular stone platform.

Also in the room was a giant being with brown scaly skin. This creature had an oversizedclub in hand. The club had a wooden handle with a spiked ball on one end.The creaturehad a chain around its neck, which he soon snapped by wrapping the chain around a stone pillar and pulling until the chain gave way.

Once the creature was free, it rushed towards Gandalfwith the club in handand attacked. Gandalf didn't stand a chance against the force of the attack, and was soon slain.

Tammy awoke with a start. She glanced over at Gandalf, where he sat talking to Frodo. 'It's kind of ironic,' she thought, 'that I am supposed to save him in one battle, and let him fall in another.'

A/N: I know… I know…two dreams in two chapters may not have been the best idea, (especially because both deal with Gandalf) but I had to include the first Gandalf dream. That was important because it illustrates the fact that not all of her dreams have to be stopped. Some she simply needs to make sure that nothing interferes. The second dream is for the same reason she had the wolf dream. I know two Gandalf dreams in a row is a bit much, but there is a reason for this. All will be explained in a few chapters… or at least a good majority, that is.
