Greenwoods
Lark opened her eyes slowly. The mist was ligt around her and rays of lights broke through the canopy above her. Pushing herself up she looked about...
NO! It can't be...
She walked upto a tree and stroked the soft bark. Then she felt something familiar. Lark looked down the trunk and found something familiar. A small sigil was carved into the wood. It was her sigil! She had carved it into this tree when she was thirty seven...
Oh my...I'm in the Greenwood! Thank Mahal I'm not in the real, poisoned wood!
She walked through the trees, taking in everything. The dress she wore was a light shade of purple. It fell to her ankles and her bare feet were covered by the mist. Lark listened to the sound of the Greenwood and giggled. She broke off into a run, laughing all the way. Then she spotted a figure ahead and stopped. Hiding behind a large oak tree she peered at the person in front of her.
…..
Kili had woken leaning against a large tree. He had no idea where he was but it was a peaceful forest. Feeling for his pipe he pulled it out of his jacket. He filled it with tobacco and shrugged of the leather coat. He rolled up the sleeves of his blue tunic and lit his pipe. Kili took a long draw from the leaves. It added to his calmness. A twig snapped behind him and he jerked his head round.
….
IT WAS KILI?! Lark's jaw dropped and she took a step back. Her feelings for him now plagued her dreams too?! A twig snapped beneath her foot and she cursed quietly. Kili stood and took the pipe from his mouth. He stared at the oak tree.
"Hello?...Who's there?"
Lark turned her back to the tree and looked up. She prayed he wouldn't see her spying on him. Sha HAD been enjoying the way he looked without his jacket on and if he would just take off that shirt and she could...
"I can hear you breathing!..."
Lark clapped a hand over her mouth. Damn her imagination...especially when it came to Kili!
"Please I won't hurt you..."
She chuckled lightly at this remark. Stepping from behind the tree, she looked at her feet.
"I know you won't"
….
Kili stared at Lark. Her dress fitted perfectly over all her curves. It was the right colour and it matched her complection and eyes. Her hair was tied up loosely and it was the first time he got a good look at her face.
Mahal she is so beautiful...doesn't she know HOW she affects me?!
His heart twisted when he saw her cheeks flush. She was embarrassed for being caught watching him. He took a step towards her. Her eyes flicked up and met his. Oh how he had missed those eyes...Lark jumped when he pulled her into a fierce hug.
"I thought we'd lost you!"
She wrapped her arms around his back and sighed into his chest.
"I thought I would lose you too!"
Unaware of what she said, she relished the time she could take to learn and remember his scent. It was typical dwarven pipe tabacco and something else...she inhaled deeply...it was cinnamon. He smelled as good as he looked! Kili nuzzled his nose into her hair and held her tight. It felt like too short a time before they let go.
"So what's happened? Where are you?"
"Well we're all in cells in Thranduil's halls!"
….
Lark watched his eyes darken as he spoke of the elf. This dream-Kili seemed so much like the real one...HER Kili! She sat on the grass and sighed. It was her fault that the dwarves were locked up and she was uncapable of helping them...her fault! A wash of guilt swept over her and she curled up as tears flooded her eyes.
"I...I'm...so...sor...sorry!"
She felt Kili's eyes on her. She felt him sit next to her and pull her into his arms. She clutched the fabric of his shirt and wept into his chest. A soothing hand rubbed up and down her back whilst the other tangled itself in her hair.
"It's not your fault Lark! You did what you could!"
….
Her sad, blue eyes met his...they were clouded with tears making them look almost black. He pulled her closer and she curled up against him. Her head lay against his lap as he tried to calm her. Lark seemed so real...so alive...but he knew she wasn't HIS Lark...she was asleep somewhere in the palace above where he slept...
"Will you stay with me till I wake up?"
He looked down at her. She looked so afraid of losing him...the way a child looks when it's afraid of the dark. Kili felt his breath catch and he nodded. Lark smiled at him and sat up. She took his hand and laced her fingers through his. Then she kissed his cheek lightly. She blushed furiously and then leant her head on Kili's shoulder...he stayed with her until she vanished next to him...then he was alone...
"I'll always stay for you Lark..."
….
He opened his eyes groggily. The cell walls were about him and it was dark...no longer the forest that he and Lark had been in...no longer the peaceful quiet...but an eerie silence which was unnerving. Kili was glad of the dark though for it hid his blushing face, his giddy smile and the problem his trousers now faced...he couldn't wait for sleep again.
….
Tauriel watched as the girl rolled to face her. Her eyelids flickered open and she looked about her. Then she was alert...she shot up and stared at Tauriel. The elf had placed two firm hands on the girl's shoulders and pushed her down on the bed. The blue eyes darted about wildly...Tauriel lifted the cup slowly to her lips. The girl drank slowly...but the draft took her to sleep within a few minutes. Soon she would be able to walk...then her grandfather could ask what he wanted to know.
Okay I know it was a crappy ending but it's the best I came up with! I would like to thank ma friend AnneGotHeart (not a writer) for her idea for the shared dream! WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF IT?! good? or bad? *crosses fingers* please say good please say good! Anyway love to have more reviews than *coughs* one...until the next chapter TTFN!
