Prologue:
A group of teenagers sat at a table in the main Capitol Library. All of them were studying for the upcoming STAAR tests. A longhaired girl slammed her book closed and stretched. "This is boring! Who invented these tests?" A bronze haired girl looked up, annoyed, and said, "Are you kidding? The STAAR test is only a couple of weeks away! Just be quiet and read a real book for once, instead of those frivolous comic books!"
The longhaired girl moved away and slapped one of the display books down. A white light appeared and she called, "Guys... You might want to get over here." She felt a strong pull and she was pulled into the light. The group rounded the corner as she vanished. The teens caught her eyes as she disappeared into the portal. Ultimate terror flashed in her eyes as she opened her mouth to scream. She lost her footing and disappeared. The brown-haired boy was pulled into the same portal and the others followed.
Chapter One: Lillian
I felt my body slam into the ground as my eyes refocused. Unknown to me, the others were following. They thudded on top of me and I gasped, "Get...Off...Of...Me. You...All...Weigh...A...Ton..." Gasping for air, I threw punches wildly, hoping to hit an unknown target. I heard a growl of pain and felt a hand fly across my face and I'm taken back with blinding pain. I heard someone's voice: "Really?!" and felt myself being pulled to my feet. "Thank you, whoever it was." Arya nodded as I looked over the others. We had heavy sword sheaths and quivers on our backs. Arya, Numorer, Ceris , and Victory were the only ones who looked comfortable. I asked, "Arya?" Arya turned from where she was standing and said, "Yes?" I noticed that the others were also looking at Arya. "Do you know where we are?" Arya sent an exasperated glance towards me and said, "We're in Middle-Earth. Come on. We're near Rivendell." Arya walked off and we followed her. A loud sound of leaves crunching reached our ears as Arya stopped and whispered "Orcs. Run." We sprinted through the forest with a group of disgusting monstroties chasing us. We heard a cry and saw a black-fletched arrow sink into Arya's shoulder. Ceris and Victory ran over and quickly said, "Come on, Arya." To our amazement, Arya accepted their help and we continued running.
A pounding of hooves sounded and we saw that our path was blocked by elves mounted on horses. Arya sunk to the ground with a groan and Victory knelt by her. A dark-haired male elf rode his horse forward and said, "I am Elladan, one of the twin sons of Elrond Half-Elven. Who are you?" His gaze landed on Arya and he dismounted from his stallion. He walked over and gently picked her up. "Where are you taking her?" The next thing I felt was myself being pulled onto a horse and galloping away.
Chapter Two: Ilithen
When we reached Rivendell, Elladan dismounted and vanished inside with Arya in his arms. The rest of us were helped down and an elf I recognized to be Elrond's daughter walked over and said, "You're hungry. Come." She led us to the eating hall and we sat down. Numorer, Ceris, and Victory had impossible expressions to read. The others looked at us as Elladan and Arwen took their seats. Justice leaned over to Victoria and whispered into her ear. Victoria glared at Justice and whispered back. Numorer said "If only Arya hadn't gotten that arrow in her shoulder, then she could keep everyone from killing each other." Ceris said "Numorer. Just be quiet, please. This is our oldest friend and "younger sister" we're talking about. Hey. Aren't you supposed to be a human?" Everyone looked at Ilithen as Lillian said, "Your appearance is changing..." A voice startled them: "Ilithen, you're supposed to be changing. All of us were from here. We are all elves." Everyone whipped around and saw Arya standing in the entrance, but Arya looked like her normal self. I asked "Why are we changing but you aren't?"
Chapter Three: Arya
I sat down gracefully as the hobbits were glancing about and whispering amongst themselves. "What are half-grown humans doing here, and females at that?!" That comment came from a Gondorian sitting next to a red-haired dwarf. I sighed as the others stopped their conversation midway
