Trapped

Disclaimer: I do not own LOTR but I do own Lian.

I'm currently standing in a forest, how I got here is my first question. I really don't think I'm in the forest but a thicket. I'm also trying not to panic seeing as how I don't know how I ended up from my desk where I was happily sleeping the rest of study hall to here. Hmm, my backpack still's there that's good. Shoot, it's getting dark.

Grabbing it, it turned nearly falling back from the weight. Why does it seem heavier?

I'm deciding that I won't scream and yell now, let's see… north or south? Not that it matters seeing as I don't know which is which so I'll go left.

Now I should introduce myself. My name is Lian Jones and I'm 15. I'm not really anything I guess you can say; I have a variety of friends from any 'group' at school. I can dress up like one or the other without much question in my appearance.

Still no road, I'll continue. I'm 5 feet 5 inches (I'm actually 5 feet 3 inches but lets keep it a secret); I'm currently wearing blonde highlights in my black hair; I have on contact lenses which make my eyes purple or violet if you're like my friend Ash. Ash is short for Ashleigh, I prefer Ashley. My glasses are in my bag which feels like it weighs a ton.

So seeing as I see nothing but trees, I'll keep telling you about myself. My mother is Chinese and my father is American, but I guess you can get that from my name. I look more Chinese then Caucasian which really doesn't bother me. Now most people say Lee-anne for my name in English when they read it so I go by that. Only mom calls me by the actual pronunciation.

Oh, in case you haven't figured it out I'm a girl. I'm the youngest of three children, my older brother Li is 17 and Gwen is 21. I feel special; I'm the accident in the family. One boy and one girl or just two kids is what my family wanted. As you can see it didn't turn out that way. I'm still loved though don't get me wrong my parents never said they regretted having me. I'm going to go walking now.

Right, it been around two hours and I still don't recognize anything, now I'm panicking. It is times like these I wish I believed in something but what can I say I'm a pessimist. I'm officially lost now, so I'm sitting down.

Now let's assess the situation. I'm in a dark forest, I like vegetation but this place is giving me the creeps, I'm lost in the dark forest. I don't know how I got here. I'm officially nervous and trying to get my heart to stop. I'm mean slow.

So I'm going to relax, yes relax. Breathe Lian, breathe! Okay, I'm going to look for something, anything that might be useful. Right, so I'm slowly walking to who knows where since I can't see. Oh, I still have my backpack, which still is heavy but I won't put down because I'm stubborn.

I wish I had a flash light or a match, actually, a candle would be better. I'm tired, and hungry, I'm going to sleep as soon as I- "Damn it!" I yell.

Now you would too if you suddenly ran into something hard as whatever it was. Shoot, scratch me looking for anything to sleep under, I'm falling unconscious now… Oh boy…

When I opened my eyes they stung like no tomorrow. Groaning, I sat up, I had a small throbbing headache and my eyes stung but aside from that I'm fine. Looking up I saw a tree, a very thick tree, so that's what I hit my head at.

Standard POV:

Lian groaned and stood, grabbing her back pack she headed toward the first direction she could. She moaned silently, the girl was walking toward the direction she was sure she walked last night. It was to her annoyance that she had to drag the thing around with her every where.

Lian walked not happy, to her dismay she got hungry and thirsty. The physical activity was more than she was use too. Luckily, Lian came upon a stream at midday but what

She saw in its reflection did not please here. The clear water was strong enough to reflect her image in the calm shall end.

Staring Lian screamed. Staring back at her was not her usually image. Staring back at her was reflection but the problem lay in her ears and features. She had pointed ears but that was not the major source of her problems. The problem lay in the fact to she had the body of a child, a six year old girl stared back at her with her same features. Looking down at her body it was the first time Lian noticed she was missing some things.

First, she did not have breasts anymore; the body of a teenager missing was a major shock. Second she noted that she was at the most two feet shorter than she originally was. Lian did something she said she never would do, she fainted.
