Chapter 1:
Welcome to my first fanfic! I've wanted to do a 'Girl-falls-into-Middle Earth' fanfic for a while. I hope that you all will enjoy my story, and please let me know what you guys think.
Disclaimer: Everything from Middle Earth belongs to Tolkien. I only own Elizabeth, Leia, and Lexi.
Thorin stared into the eyes of Azog as he tried with all his strength to use his sword to push his enemies' sword away from his chest. He was exhausted, his foot was throbbing painfully where Azog had pierced it, and his nephews could be dead. The pointed tip of the sword pushed it's way dangerously close to his heart, until Thorin's tired arms gave way, and the sharp tip plunged into his flesh.
"No Thorin! You can't die!" shouted a blonde woman from the couch. Her blue eyes widening in horror as she watched Thorin get stabbed.
"Shut up Leia, I can't hear the TV," said Leia's friend, Lexi from beside her. The auburn haired girl had her blue eyes glued to the television watching the movie intently. The last girl that sat on the couch was Elizabeth Collins. Eliza wasn't as interested in the movie as her two friends were but she watched it only because they wanted her to. As she tucked a strand of her golden-brown hair behind her ear, her green eyes watched Thorin stab Azog in the chest.
"Yeah, go Thorin," whooped Leia. Eliza rolled her eyes, for being twenty-three Leia still acted like an eight year old, but then again anyone could. The three of them had been friends since high school. Leia had always been the joker of the group, while Lexi was the smart and sensible one.
Eliza was the unofficial leader of their little group, Eliza assumed it was because her two friends looked up to her. Lexi had been bullied at the start of high school because she had been she and preferred the comfort of books, but that soon stopped when Eliza had punched one of the boy's face. She had been suspended from school and her Foster parents hadn't been very pleased. Though the boys had stopped their bullying in fear of receiving a broken nose, and she gained Lexi as a genuine friend. Lexi had never been like the stuck-up girls who would act like they were Eliza's friend then spread rumors about her behind her back. Even though they were all different they all got along really well.
When the credits rolled in at the end of the movie, Lexi stood up and stretched. "That was good," she said,"Though I still don't like the fact that the Durin's died," she added thoughtfully.
"Totally agreed. Dain didn't even want to help, but then he was the one who got to be king anyway." Leia replied while she grabbed three cans of Coke from the kitchen. Eliza and Lexi both made their way to the kitchen and accepted a can each from Leia. "Though I kinda wish we could go there," Leia added dreamily, "That would be amazing, saving the Durins and seeing Erebor."
Both of Leia's friends knew that Leia was a total Middle Earth fan; she probably would do anything to go there. "Yeah, so that you could fall in love with Thorin all over again." pointed out Eliza. Thorin was like Leia's favourite character, though Eliza couldn't understand why. Thorin was way too grumpy for her liking.
"Whatever Eliza," Leia replied rolling her eyes at the statement.
The rest of the conversation turned to upcoming exams. Both Lexi and Leia had University exams next week. Lexi was studying to be a paramedic like Eliza while Leia was hoping to be a Veterinarian. Eliza had successfully graduated the year before, while Lexi had six months to go. Leia had another two years to go as her course was longer. "I can't believe I only have six months left!" Squealed Lexi. Her hair had begun to fall out of her French braid, though she looked nicer with it like that.
"Lucky you Lex," Sighed Leia.
"Fate needs to be changed. The Valar needs you" Whispered a female voice in Eliza's ear.
"Wha..." she started though the next second there was a flash of bright white light and everything became black.
