Hello my friends! This is a story I have been thinking about writing for a bit, and I am sorry I cannot publish more right now :( I will try to update as soon as is possible. I hope you enjoy!

Sophie sighed. The field trip to the museum yesterday had been just as boring as every other day in her life as a 12-year-old high school senior. Except for that boy…

His teal eyes widened when he saw her. He quickly walked right up to her and held up a newspaper. "Is this you?" he asked.

Sophie groaned. Not that article again. "Yes, that is me."

His eyes found hers, and he visibly relaxed. "Well it was nice meeting you, Sophie" He turned and walked away, muttering something about brown eyes and looking for twelve years.

Sophie shook her head and walked back to join the rest of her class.

Later that night, she was thinking back over the exchange and realized something very odd about that boy…

TWO YEARS LATER

Sophie blinked awake, disoriented and groggy. Where am I? she wondered. What happened?

The last thing she remembered happening was walking home from her astrophysics class. Someone, or something, had hit her head, knocking her out. She seemed to be in a room in a large bed. Her hands were neither bound and her mouth was not gagged. She swung herself off the bed, going to look around the sparsely decorated room.

"Well, well, well. Sleeping Beauty awakes!" a loud voice boomed from the doorway. "My name is Grady, and I am your new father!" his voice was enthusiastic, and he seemed pleased to see her. Something was…off about him though.

"Wha-what? You're not my father!" Sophie shook her head, confused. "My father is- he lives in San Diego. With me, and my mom, and my little sister. Why am I here? I need to go home, my parents will be worried-," she scrambled to the door, trying to get around Grady.

"I'm sorry," Grady told her, a smile still fixed on his handsome features. "You won't be going anywhere. This is your home now, and we are your parents. You will love it so much, you will no longer want to leave. This is, after all, where you belong."

Where you belong. Those last words seemed to echo around her head. What did he mean?

"What do you mean, where I belong? Who are you? Why are you wearing a cape? Where am I?"

"You are at home Sophie. I am your father, and Edaline here is your mother," he gestured to a beautiful woman with turquoise eyes. "You will be a very happy elf here Sophie."

Sophie realized what was different about him. Her eyes widened in shock as she tried to take in what he had said and what she had just realized.

"I can't hear your thoughts!" she scrambled back from him. "Why? You're the only one that's happened to, ever! Except… Never mind. And what?! An elf? What are you talking about? I am human!"

Grady grinned. "If you come with me, I will explain everything," he promised.

Sophie knew she had no other choice, so she took Grady's offered hand and followed him out the door.

That's the end of Chapter 1! Again, I am sorry it's so short. Please follow and review!
