"I never thought I would be here... in this world that was once only a Story. I guess it was Fate my Mother chose to flee to a universe where Middle Earth is only a work of Fiction. It still seems to be like that of a Dream to me... I mean, first traveling here, than learning I'm the Last of Eru's first creations: The Dragon-Bloods...and to learn the man I once thought dead is Sauron's number one General... Heh...Fate Indeed..."

I had been hiking through these woods for hours. Still couldn't find my way back to the camp site. I had to rest, so I sat down on a dead fallen tree, pulled off my pack and took out a chocolate bar. For a girl almost twenty, I didn't look it. Nor did I look like I was out of my first year of college.

It was Summer Vacation and my friends agreed that we would camp in the woods near the college the first half of it then we would go on up to New York City to see some Broadway shows for the second half. I really wasn't an outdoors person but for my friends' sake, I was out here. She was moving to another college so this was kind of a fare well thing.

Anyways, I had to 'go' and my friends made me go in the woods. It was NOT pleasant. But I had to do it.

That's how I came to be lost.

This Day was turning terrible. I had run into three thorn bushes and fell flat on my face six times! I scowled at myself and rubbed the cut I now had on my right knee next to the strange Moonlike birthmark I had had since I was a baby. Suddenly my dad's voice filled my mind with his advice, 'If you're having a horrible day, you 1) Pray, 2) Call me or your Mom, or 3) Eat chocolate.'

I laughed at myself. I had been praying every other hour, and I had no cell service out here.Well, I thought, I got number Three down!

I finally stood up, put away the rest of the chocolate, took out my compass and hiked off west. Finally I saw what looked like the edge of the wood. I began to run. But stopped dead when I came to it. I wasn't facing the College Grounds…I was facing a large field where I could see tall mountains in the distance. Well, this is…interesting. I knew there was no field or mountains anywhere around the forest borders.

I sighed. I would just become more lost if I turned back now. So I bravely trudged forward.

I had walked far and the forest was many, many leagues behind me. But I had heard something strange…a growling sound.

I began to panic. So I ran. Someone or SomeTHING was chasing me. Arrows whizzed past my head. Now I KNEW there was trouble! I started to speed up. Something wrapped itself around my legs, and I fell.

I heard a terrible laugh above me, and then all went black.

I woke to strange surroundings, and found my hands tied behind my back. I heard gruff laughter and a voice speaking, "What a Prize! To find such a pretty human all the way out here in the middle of our territory! The King will be pleased with a new slave!" When I heard the word 'slave' I sat up and came face to face with a creature I never imagined I would ever see: a Goblin.

He smiled an ugly smile and said, "Well look who just woke!" He heaved me up by the shirt. His horrible breath smelled of a terrible mixture of dead, rotting Animals, rotten eggs, and Blood "There's no use shouting or running off. You're staying wi' us. We tried to burn your stuff bu' they woun't burn. So wese are gonna let you keep them 'til we get to our King."

I gulped. iAnna Elizabeth Jones… I thought to myself, Your DEFFINATELLY NOT in Martinsville Virginia anymore!
