LEAP OF FAITH

It was an autumn Sunday evening when Diana decided to go for a walk. She was outraged by one of her friends and in order to calm herself she went out. She needed to because if she stayed in her apartment she would probably break something. She was listening to music while heading towards her favourite place for relaxation, which was a bench on a beach, she rolled a cigarette and lit it.
"Just take a deep breath and feel the nicotine overwhelm your whole being!" she thought to herself. Finally she sat on the bench slowly absorbing the atmosphere around; the almost black sea scattered with a bit of pink and orange, the golden setting sun rushing behind a mountain top, the moon and the stars rolling in, the salty scented air and the soft sound of waves lapping against the shore. She needed just a few humble minutes to compose herself and to conclude what an idiot she was once again for letting other people influence her state of mind so easily.
"Nn, nnn, nobody's fault but mine!" She sang and then smiled. Just as she started to make her leave there was a rustle in the nearby bush. She turned to see what it was but did not see a thing. Then she heard it again and this time she made it sure to see what that noise is about. She headed towards the damned bush but soon found out that the noise wasn't coming from the bush but from the bunker which was next to the bush.
"Great, just fucking great! Oh I'm such a wuss..."
When she finally found some courage she peered at the entrance of the bunker only to find it pitch black, the sound continuing still. She turned the light on her mobile phone and directed it towards the place where the sound was coming from. She was relieved when she found a certain hedgehog eating whatever it was already eating.
"Hello there small one! What are you eating, is it something tasty?" she said out loud. The hedgehog stopped eating and looked at her curiously.
"Oh, perhaps I have something for you just let me look into my pockets."Diana searched her pockets and eventually found a small bag with honey in it.
"You are such a lucky guy or a girl! I know you hedgehogs are crazy about honey." She took a few steps closer while still being watched by the hedgehog that started to sniff the air around. She bent down while opening the bag, she put one drop on her finger and reached it over to the hedgehog that recognized the smell and came closer in order to lick it. Then Diana grabbed the little fellow in her palms and quickly took it outside of the bunker on the beach where she could see it more clearly.
The poor little fellow rolled into a ball and while Diana was adjusting her grip on it she noticed something strange on its spines. There on the back of its spines laid some kind of a strange bunch of leaves.
Wtf is this? She plucked it off of the hedgehog's back and observed it for a few moments.
"I have never seen the leaves structured like this ones, this is unusual." The leaves seemed to be similar to those ones of a pine tree but thicker and with a flower in between them, and the flower was a strange thing too. It was made of three petals of purple colour with a triangular golden centred part.
"Interesting!" here is your portion of the honey."She said while still tempting to resolve her main enigma. The hedgehog was enjoying its honey when it soon all fell apart when the little fellow stopped eating and began to involuntary move. At that moment Diana was really scared and took up the hedgehog and placed it next to her chest. Something was wrong and she could feel it. Now the flower was in her left hand and the hedgehog in her right. She again glanced at the flower thinking that maybe she should place it back on the hedgehog.
Suddenly the flower started to rotate in her palm, at first slowly, but as seconds flew by the rotation grew faster until in the end she was rotating as well. Somewhere in all that mess the hedgehog was free of her grip landing who knows where and Diana rotating as ever so quickly.

After some time Diana gained her conscious. Her head was still aching and she was on the ground, to be more exact she could feel the grass against her body which immediately alarmed her and she opened her eyes only to find herself surrounded by tall trees.
"Koji kurac je sad ovo? "/Wtf is this? She began to talk to herself. It was one of her habits; when being alone she would talk to herself out loud. "Where the hell am I?" Then she noticed that she was changed, physically changed. She could feel her hair down her back which meant it was longer than before she came to this place. She took a strand on the left side of her head and prayed that it was unchanged. She opened her eyes and saw the blue streak among her natural dark brown waves, the blue part remained the same, she was so happy and tucked strands behind her ear only to find it somehow unusually sharp.
"Oh my... It's pointy!" Then it dawned on her.
"Jesus, I am an elf! An elf lost in time and space. I could be almost anywhere in the Middle Earth, almost anywhere. Um, also I am such a smartass to wish having the same hairstyle as before. Just great, now even when someone finds me they will for sure think that I am the weirdest elf they have ever seen in the whole of their existence .An elf with blue streak of hair on the left side of the head. Not to mention my attire, tobacco, lighter, mobile phone and headphones. How am I supposed to explain everything or anything concerning my sudden appearance in this god forsaken forest? Hell, I even don't know elvish. Hmm... For the time being I think amnesia will suffice.
Can orcs climb up trees? No, I think they cannot.
Diana then climbed up the tallest tree she found in vicinity. She managed it without a problem, but was still accustoming to the feeling of being an elf. The plan was to roughly determine her position and to wait until someone passes by, then the second plan would be to try and make a company with that certain someone. She forgot to hide her stuff so she headed back on the ground but along the way down, with a corner of her eye she caught some hole in the branch to her right. She looked at the hole and decided to put the stuff in it. Now she needed something with which she could cover it in order to keep it safe from curious eyes. She tore a bunch of branches which were full with leaves and managed to put them on the top of the hole.
"Now that this is done, off I go to keep watch."

...After several hours...

It was almost dawn when Diana was awoken by loud noise which scared her and due to that she almost fell of a tree but luckily secured herself by holding onto a branch. The miraculous notion even to her was that she was in such a state to fall asleep on the tree. Moreover, the noise was unknown to her, it was becoming louder and louder which meant that whoever was producing it was coming closer to her. In few seconds she heard orcs, and tried to concentrate to find out how many of them were there.
"8 or 9" she thought. "Not much, but still problematic." Orcs were running from something, they were being chased. A rush of adrenaline hit Diana and it felt kind of good, and in that very moment she knew that elves were near, she was able to sense them. From up the tree she watched as each orc was struck by arrows, when there were three left she was on the ground engaging in the fight. She came behind one of the orcs and quickly pulled his head on one of the sides, the sound of cracking bones shooting through the air, but before Diana could feel the thrill something hit her in the head, and in a second the gravity brought her to her rightful place, that is, on the ground.
"I got him!" said Tauriel as arrow found its way in the orc's head. Legolas was already next to Diana examining her head injury.
"It is not as bad as it looked when she was hit. It will be about five hours until she awakes, though I am not sure how is she going to feel when she does finally awake. Come Tauriel, bring us our horses!" Legolas lifted Diana while she obliviously rested in his arms he inspected her looks. "What an extraordinary-looking elleth! I wonder how she came here. What is with her hair, how it is possible for anyone to have such a colour?" He thought. Tauriel came back with horses and helped Legolas with mounting Diana on one of them. Neither of them spoke while riding back to the halls of the elf-king, they both sensed that the king will be pretty upset concerning the new intruder which they were about to present very soon.
