"Mary! Wake up; we're leaving for the Airport!" yelled Martha, Mary's mother
"Coming!" Mary yelled as well, so her mom could hear her down stairs.
I'm happy they're leaving for a month. Some peace quite for once; that'll be nice. Thought Mary as she got out of bed and changed.
"Marian Elizabeth Taylor! Get you butt down here this instants!" My mother yelled
"Coming!" I yelled back throwing a robe on and rushing out of my room and running down stairs.
My parents where standing in the kitchen with my older sister and younger sister and my brother. They were all going to Florida to visit my Aunt and Uncle for a little bit. They let me stay home this time. They already had the things packed and waited for my so we could say good bye. The only reason they let me stay is because of my dog and cat. They don't do well with other people taking care of them and I decided that I'd stay home and watch them after many discussions on both sides.
"Now Mary, be on your best behavior. We'll be gone for about two, three weeks okay. If you need anything you know that you can call either of your Grandparents or Relatives." My father said as he hugged me and continued on "We'll miss you and wish you would come with us. We'll call you once we get to Aunt Liz's house okay?"
"Yes, I know and I'll miss you too. Okay, don't worry about me I'll be fine. You guys have a good time down there and try not burn like a lobster. But you know…if you do, take a picture so I can laugh when I see you when you guys come home or looking at the picture." I said walking up to my mom.
"Ha ha, I'll miss you sweetie and we'll keep in touch while we're down there. Be good, see you sweetie." My mother said kissing me on the check.
"Bye you guys, have fun!"
I yelled to them as they pulled out of the drive way. I waited until they turned the corner before going into the victory dance.
"Yessss! Finally, freedom at last!" I yelled as I stopped dancing.
I walked into the house and closed the door and laid on my couch letting the quietness soak in. I thought of what I should do, and a brilliant idea came to mind. I'll do a Lord of the Ring's Marathon.
"Excellent idea I must say so myself."
I popped in the movie and turned of the lights and watched the first part of the movie. I wasn't bothered until I got to where Bilbo did his disappearing act, when the phone rang. I stopped the movie and ran into the kitchen, falling on the way and picking up the phone then muffling a hello as I tried to get up.
Would you like to travel through Middle Earth and stay there, till the end?" The deep voice said
"W what?" I said scared and excited at the same time
"You heard me, do you want to go or not?"
"Umm….." Thinking process went on…no parents for two week…cost? "What's the catch if I except?"
"There's no catch. You have an hour for packing, then the hour is up, you play the beginning of the Lord of the Rings, and stand with the phone in your hands and when it rings, answer it, and that'll transport you to Elrond in Rivendell."
"Does time change here, on Earth while I'm gone?"
"No, if you decide to come back you'll be just like you are now, besides no will answer you back after you say hello. If you decide to stay for the rest of your life in Middle Earth, then your family will go on, as if you were never part of their lives, right when you were born. So, what's your answer yes or no?"
I thought over it for a bit and decided why not, but I had some more questions.
"Ok, it's a yes, but you have to answer some more questions I have before you hang up okay?"
"Good, what's your question?"
"Okay, will I know how to fight, like self defense, how to use a sword or a bow?"
"You'll know how defend yourself but the rest you'll learn once you get there, and that doesn't mean you'll get it fast, it all depends on you and which ones better ok. Any more questions?"
"Yah, who are you?"
"I'm a messenger for the Valar that's all you need to know. Be careful what you say about your knowledge, some might not be as generous as Elrond, who knows that someone is coming. All right; in an hour I'll call make sure you answer it at the first ring no less?"
After that he hung up I hung up my phone and did my dance and yelled.
"I'm going to Middle Earth. Woo Hooo!"
I ran and got a traveling bag, and then ran into my room. I took three pairs of pants, two t-shirts, one big sweatshirt, a sweater, and some other nicer things. I also got underclothing, socks, and other things.
I ran to my bathroom and got a razor, extra blades, shaving cream, personal items, brush, shampoo, hair things, etc.
Since all that took up most of the space in the bag, I filled the last open spaced with my CD player and my CD's and some extra batteries, a flashlight with more batteries, and a blanket.
Next I took out a smaller bag and put in a bottled water, some canned food. I also put in my art things, you know paper, pencils. I stuffed my shoes, scarves, and winter things on the top and closed the bag up.
I put on my puffy blue jacket and tennis shoes. I ran down stairs with my things and took a deep breath and started the Lord of the Rings movie again. I put the bags in my hand and waited anxiously for the phone to ring. Millions of thought ran through my mind on whether I was doing the right thing or not.
Not long the phone rang, making me jump but I recovered quickly to and answer. I then felt my self getting sucked into the phone. I closed my eyes and relaxed. It reminded me of the movie Jumonji where the animals get sucked into the game at the end. I laughed to myself remembering it in my head.
Soon after I feel to the ground with a thud and looked up to see a tall man standing above me.
I hoped you liked the first Chapter; hope to hear what you think of it. If you have any suggestions on something I should change please feel free to do so, until the next chapter, good bye. –The Author: Sophie-
