Lost, Lonely, And Confused

Loredana POV

Hi, I'm Loredana Elros, and I'm 17. I have the strangest name in class. I chose my name myself, so that I could be the unique one, not the laughing stock. People talk to me and treat like a boy, because of my name. Check the meanings if you might. I'm a senior, and I live alone because my parents died. The only trinket I have memory of them is a small locket with their photo in it, which I use as a necklace. That's another reason why I changed my name. No one cares about me. I'm always alone, and I always will be. I have only one friend, Dan (Daniel) Burke, and he's not even the same age as me. My friend is some kind of inventor, who I kinda work with, who covers as a basketball player, and is like 25. I really wanted to get out of this life right now!

I was walking home from school, being bullied all the way. I kinda stay in a rented room near a library. I sat down near my bed and sighed, "Can this get any worse?!" That was when a got a text from Dan;

"Meet me in the library. I've got something to show you!"

I didn't bother to answer, I just went to meet him. "What did you wanna show me?" I asked walking in towards Dan. "Check it out! I made these blueprints. What do you think?" he said showing me them.

"Time machine, huh? What made you think of that?"

"Dunno, you know me. I'm an inventor!"

I shrugged, "So, you wanna get started?" "Yeah, I'll meet you at my place. I need to get the parts." He went off leaving me with the blueprints. I squinted my eyes seeing the fine print on the printings. I didn't bother squinting my eyes too long, so I rolled the prints and set to Dan's home. I waited very long, I'd bet he forgot I had homework. Well, I'm gonna be tardy again. I thought to myself. The door creaked, Dan was home. "You're so late!" I yelled. "Well, I couldn't find the parts," he replied calmly. Why was he so calm?! I'm still doomed with homework! "Let's just get this done!" I rolled my eyes. We worked, worked, and worked till midnight, we were finally done! We were gonna test it out, but I was so tired. "Dan, go test it, I'm gonna hit the hay," I said without thinking straight. I fell asleep on the couch, while Dan tried the thing out. I woke up to a sucking sound. Dan was gone, the machine was smashed. What the hell?! What the sh*t happened?! I thought. I walked nearer to the machine. "Oh my gosh! Dan got sucked in and it's all my fault for snoozing off!" I blamed myself. I was gonna skip school, and rebuild the thing. Took me all day to rebuild it, but it was worth it. I checked the date and time that Dan got sucked to. When I checked, I was strucked. He wasn't sucked into time at all. So that meant the time machine was a bust. Dan just got sucked into like another Earth? Dimension maybe? I pressed buttons which I presume Dan pressed. I shut my eyes and took a deep breath before getting sucked in. I stumbled out of the vortex in the woods somewhere. Where am I? I thought. I was at a mysterious place. Of course, I was scared. I heard footsteps nearby. I hid behind a tree and peeked from behind. There were 3 people walking and talking, they looked like they were patrolling the area. I was surprised with that sight. 1 of them looked human, 1 looked as if he was a dwarf, and the other was a good-looking Elf. This is crazy. Aren't Elves and Dwarves like don't exist. I thought again with even more curiousity. They, the whole place looked like something out of Sci-Fi book, Fantasy book. Oh no! I am at Middle Earth aren't I? I thought feeling devastated and excited at the same time. Does make sense! Everything looks as if they come from a book. I eavesdropped still hiding behind the tree.

Thanks for reading the first chapter. this is my second Fanfic, so I guess I'm a beginner. Please review, tell me your opinions, please. Now, I have a trivia question, 'What's Arwen's necklace's name?' It's easy right? So, answer it and add your twitter, IG, or tumblr user and I'll follow you & convince some of my pals to follow you ;) Thanks Xo
