A Tale of Middle-Earth
by Resisting Arrest
Disclaimer:I do not own the Lord of the Rings or anything,but I do own anything you
don't recognize.R/R
A/N:Got this idea when I was nearly asleep one night.A Transportation in to Middle-Earth
story.But I'm using a character that's in the family tree in Return of the King,but that won't
happen until next chapter.
------------------
"I hate essays." I said,leafing through a huge book in our school's practically ancient
library.
My best friend and twin sister Gabrielle nodded slightly,afraid to move much from
her high perch examining the highest row of books.She selected a red one and pulled
tentatively at it.The book didn't budge.She tugged roughly at it and the book came loose.I
groaned as "Study of the Renaissance" and my sister fell on top of me.Gabbie stood up
and dusted herself off,apparently umharmed.I was quite as lucky however.Gabbie lifted
the fallen book off of my head and helped me up.
"are you okay,Zoe?" asked Gabbie concernedly.
"Yeah,my head's a little sore though." I replied as the bell rang,signalling the end of the
school day.
I waved goodbye to my sister who was going to swim team practice and headed
across the crowded school yard.As I passed the soccer field a soccer ball came sailing out
and hit me right on my already aching head.I sighed.A girl in a red soccer uniform came
running after it.
"Sorry!" she yelled breathlessly as she passed me.
Within 10 minutes I was home.I unlocked the front door and entered.I tossed my
backpack into the corner.As I did so I noticed a small yellow sticky-note on the table in
the hall.It read:
Girls,
Your father and I are going out tonight with Aunt Meg and Uncle Carl.Be sure to do all
your homework and don't leave the house.
Love,
Mom and Dad
I sighed yet again and walked to my room that joined to Gabbie's.I grinned when I
saw how they contrasted.Mine was strewn with notebooks,pens,my basketball jersey,and
several pairs of shoes.Pictures of my friends lined the walls.The other wall was partly
covered by a large bookcase,nearly filled.Gabbie's room was very neat and tidy,her clothes
hanging in the closet,shoes stowed away in the bottom of the closet.Her school supplies
were arranged on her desk and her bed was made.I flopped down on my bed and picked
up a well worn copy of The Fellowship of the Ring.I loved the Trilogy and Gabbie and I
had been to see the movie a few weeks before.
I leaned against my pillows on my bed and began reading.I must have been well into the
fifth or sixth chapter when I felt myself begin to nod.The last thing I remember saying
before falling asleep was "I wish this were more like Middle earth."
When I opened my eyes,I was in for a big surprise.

chapter and I don't think I've ever seen it done before.It should be up within the next
week.
