As the credits for 'Return of the King' started to scroll along the screen, I sat on my couch and sighed. "Why do all the best stories have to end?" I moaned. I put away the CD and checked the clock. "I better go to bed; it's already past 11:30! And I have school tomorrow." I grabbed my Frodo plushy that my mom gave me as a joke for my birthday and went to my bedroom.

I put my nightgown on and went to the bathroom to take my makeup off. I braided my long brown hair, my hair comes down to my hip, and brushed my teeth. I climbed into bed and turned off the light. Suddenly something plopped onto my bed. I opened my eyes to find two yellow embers glowing intently as they stared at me. "Hullo, Angel," I mumbled. Angel was my pet dog, she was a Boston terrier. As well as my best friend, she was my roommate, therapist, and loyal companion. I rolled over and went to sleep.

I woke to the infinitely annoying screech of my alarm clock. "I hate mornings," I muttered under my breath.I got dressed into a pair of short shorts and a t-shirt. I put my favorite tennis shoes on and said to Angel, "Wish me luck!" I turned around and walked out the door.

That day was my writing exam. Always wanting to be a writer since I was little, I wanted to get a degree at Virginia Tech. I always felt compelled to finish any book I started to read, so I read a lot. I stopped at a bakery on the way to school and got a doughnut, and went on my way once more.

As I walked to the exam room I saw, or thought I saw, a familiar figure, a man with long blond hair and blue eyes staring at me. As I looked back to take another look, he was no longer there. "Note to self, never watch LOTR right before bed," I said to myself. I walked into the room and took my writing exam. On my way home I grabbed a pizza for lunch.

"Angel, I'm home!" I called out. But instead of getting a lick to the face and a warm welcome; I found a mysterious figure standing in my living room.

He held out his slender hand and said, "If you come with me, you'll have the adventure you always wanted."

"Who the heck are you? And how did you get in here anyway?"

"You will find all you seek," Was the only thing that he said.

Then I recognized him. "You were at my school!" He put his hand down and frowned.

"Maybe," He sighed, "You're the wrong person."

"Well, I never said no, did I?"I figured that he must be Legolas from 'The Lord of the Rings'.

He held out his hand again and said softly, "If you want to, come." I took his hand and instantly fainted.

When I came to, I was in a large bed in the middle of an old-looking room.

"Hello," Legolas said.

"Where…am I," I mumbled.

"In Mirkwood," He replied. "And you are needed for a rather interesting task."
