Belle started,then woke up crying.She had had nightmares before,but something about this one seemed too complicated for her to fully understand.Something about the elves,they were too real.
In the dream,there were elves everywhere.They didn't seem scary like the ones in the main room,but they wern't paying attention to her.They were watching down a path in the forest.Were they waiting for something?yes,but whatever it was,it scared them.One of the elves suddenly shouted something about "black water".Belle was picked up as everyone ran,and an elven cloak was wrapped around her face.
Whoever had her stopped moving.It was a long time before arms let her go.She threw the cloak off,and saw the elf that had carried her sit back,head in hands,crying.Whatever they had been running from was still there.She couldn't see or hear it,but something was in the air.It was too quiet.
"Where are the others?"she asked the elf,but the elf only wrapped it's cloak around it's shoulders.Something about the silence made her cry.
"I should stay away from the elves I think"she whispered,"thier very polite,but strange folk,coming around the Shire all of a sudden,bringing nightmares..but I can't really say I hate them"
She fluffed her pillows,but felt restless.Looking out through the window,she saw the distant stars fading."Well,maybe I should go ahead and get up,it's almost morning".With that,she wiped her face and walked downstairs.
