A/N: Hello! So, If you're anything like me, you see first person and run. I've decided to give it a chance since I haven't written in first person in years. Hopefully I've gotten better since then. I really think this story will turn out pretty well since I love the idea of Earth/Azeroth crossovers. Anyways, hope you like it!


"Yeah, well good riddance!" I cried as I stormed through the front door, slamming it shut behind me.

I knew he would follow after me as I quickened my stride, headed straight for my Honda Accord. Drops of water lightly splashed against my skin, although I paid no mind. I wanted nothing to do with my boyfriend, Aaron at this point. I could hear the creak of the door behind me and his voice call out into the chilly night air.

"Liss, wait!" his voice was pleading.

It only pissed me off more and I gave him a dismissive wave, fumbling for my keys with my free hand while I approached my car. I heard the familiar tinkle of all the little charms and whipped it out with lightning speed, shaky hands wrapping tightly around the right key. When I heard his footsteps approaching behind me, my heart sped up and I hurriedly pressed the button to unlock it, headlights flashing briefly. Don't touch me.

The last thing I wanted right now was for him to be near me. The ghost of his touch flitted against my arm as I immediately flung the door open and ducked inside, denying him any chance of reconciliation. I refuse to deal with any more of his shit tonight. His hands appeared on my window and I couldn't help the way my lip curled in irritation.

"Liss..." his muffled voice was frustrated as I put the keys in the ignition.

"Just fuck off, Aaron." I yelled loud enough so he could hear me.

"You're overreacting!" My eyes lit up in pure anger.

Nothing pissed me off more than when my feelings were disregarded. I started the engine and thankfully no cars were in the way, so I hastily pulled into the street, seeing the way his hands dragged on the droplet covered window as I drove away. I couldn't help it when my eyes flitted to the rear view mirror, sparing him a single glance. His distraught form staring after me somehow filled me with satisfaction. Serves him right.

I ended up on the highway eventually, staring blankly ahead at the dimly illuminated asphalt. That Aaron.. He really knows how to fuck up. My gaze drifted up towards my rearview mirror and I was met with my green eyes staring back at me. I looked disheveled, my black bangs sticking wetly to my forehead and my eyebrows furrowed, cheeks reddened by the cold. Hell, I felt as bad as I looked. My head was pounding and anxiety had welled up in my chest.

I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding and swore, bringing my eyes back to the road.

"Don't cry, Alyssa. You're a big girl." I muttered to myself, but that didn't stop the tears welling up in my eyes.

The truth was, Aaron and I hadn't been doing well for the past few months but tonight had really been the breaking point. Life was stressful, I knew that very well. I understood that Aaron was under as much stress as I was. But, breaking a promise to me? I came home and the scent of smoke permeated the entire place, something I had told him as a condition that I would never tolerate in a relationship. He had been a casual smoker before meeting me and he had agreed he would quit when I asked.

The last thing I expected walking into the living room after a rough night at the office was the smell of a cigarette and the shocked face of my partner as he quickly tried to snuff it out, clearly not expecting me home so early. My trust in him felt severed. It quickly turned into a shouting match that escalated into where I am now. It may sound like an overreaction, but these things were beginning to pile up. I'll just say this was not his first offense.

Frustration pooled in my gut as hot, wet tears streaked down my cheeks. My vision was so blurred, I could hardly see the road. And the rain had picked up almost violently not too long ago, windshield wipers clearing the water off of the glass to the best of their ability. The weather forecast really did not mention any rain tonight or any time in the future. I was upset, yes, but I couldn't let that cloud my judgement. I straightened up, wiping my snotty face off with one hand, keeping the other tightly on the wheel.

I heard thunder rumble outside, particularly loudly might I add, the hum of rain pelting the car somehow soothing me. It was serene, the rain, the weather, and all my anger melted away into nothingness as I drove on mindlessly. Minutes passed before I heard another rumble overhead and that's when it happened. The crack of lightning as a searing bright white, jagged light struck the pavement meters ahead of me, and I screamed in fear as I instinctively attempted to swerve around the phenomenon. Holy shit.

No way did that just happen. And then to my absolute horror, a second and third strike popped off ahead of me. Yet, these two were aligned and formed some sort of.. what, a rift? The world seemed wavy and foresty, and a blue hue surrounded the edges. What in the hell is that? I slammed my foot on the brakes in hopes that it would actually stop, but the slippery road sent my Honda skidding forward and into the strange..ah, I don't know, portal? Not before flipping on its side, and having me tumble wildly down the sudden hillside, choking as my seat-belt nearly strangled the life out of me.

My brain bounced around in my skull and I clamped my eyes shut, ready to meet my demise. I had never been in a car crash before but I figured it would be my first and last. I slammed every which way against the car, hitting the steering wheel, the door and the roof. My head got hit particularly hard at one point and suddenly my mind was a blur, a numb throbbing in my left temple the only thing accompanying me. I'm not sure when it happened but I finally came to a rolling stop with a thwump against a tree, thrusting my body forward roughly against the seat-belt. Smoke filled my senses. I could hardly keep my eyes open and I groaned at the sharp pain in my side.

I glanced down, placing a hand to the spot that surged with spikes of agony. I felt a sharpness, glass perhaps? When I pulled my hand away, it was drenched in blood. My lip quivered as I realized my vision was dotting with blackness. This is it, then? Figures I would die in a car crash, a fear of mine since childhood. My thoughts flitted to my mother, who would weep at the knowledge of my death. My little sister, still in high school, unable to come to terms with the loss of her only sibling. If only I could see them one last time...

I couldn't stay awake any longer. Everything faded to black, pain overtaking my body...


A white light filled my eyes. Huh? It was warm all around me, encasing my body in a comforting heat. I couldn't see anything just yet which was freaking me out. My heart rate sped up dramatically at the thought that I was possibly..dead. Where.. am I? The twitter of birds and other creatures outside was all I could hear, as if I was in a forest. The hell? Where I lived, Arizona, it was rare to hear the chirping of birds, let alone.. well, anything. I could faintly hear voices nearby but I hardly paid any mind. The air was crisp, clearer than I've ever breathed in my entire life. Hadn't I been in a crash? Is this death? Am I dead?

My eyes began to water as I squinted at the utter brightness of the world around me, staring up at the roof of the building I seemed to be laying in. My thoughts could only drift back to my family. I want to see my mother, say goodbye. Tell Kenzie to live her life, to never give up no matter how hard it gets! And Aaron..oh, Aaron. My lip quivered and I raised my hands weakly to my face, my green eyes filled with tears, threatening to overflow. The voices grew louder and finally got my attention. I thought I was just hearing those creepy death whispers like in the movies, so I didn't really pay it any mind at first. Are those people? Heaven is real then?

My eyes fluttered open at the sound of approaching footsteps, the incoherent voices only getting louder in volume. Have they come for me? I was never really a religious person when I was alive... Maybe I shouldn't have made out with Bryan Whittaker behind the bleachers freshman year. I attempted to blink away the stinging of my eyes as the figures approached from the shadows, seemingly in conversation. They're deciding my fate. T-That has to be it, right? The two stepped into the light, revealing their faces to me.

I almost passed out right there. Two elvish people stood in front of me. I've read enough of Tolkien's novels to know an elf when I saw one. But, these elves were different from what I knew an elf to be... A man and a woman, freakishly tall in height, with blue and pink skin and freaky glowing white eyes. Alright, I'm dead. My body shook in fear at the sight of the towering elves, gazing down at me in what looked like.. happiness? I couldn't really tell since their eyes had near imperceptible emotion. The woman stepped forward, her mane of long, purple hair cascading about her pink face, smiling brightly at the sight of me. That's a good sign, I hope. She had an hourglass figure, which was enhanced by the white flowing gown she wore. Her body exuded grace,wisdom and gentleness which eased my anxiety, if only slightly.

She began speaking but all I heard was gibberish. I stared at her in what probably looked like sheer terror and confusion because her smile faded at the sight. She glanced at her male partner, who I hadn't even paid any mind to yet. I gawked at him and his inhuman beauty. In fact, they were both otherworldly, holding a glow to them I'd never seen before.

His hair was as long as his female friend, his fringe parted down the middle and unkempt, colored a beautiful azure tone to match his pale blue skin. His eyebrows were bushy and were so long they literally hung off of his forehead. He wore armor, yes, you heard me correctly. Armor. It was an elegant yet clearly worn plate armor, covered in scrapes and ticks as well as midnight blue in color. Average sized pauldrons donned his shoulders and spirally designs covered the entirety of the armor, glowing faintly with a silver hue. A flowing cape hung from his back, although I couldn't see the color. The rest I didn't really bother to look at. I was far too distracted with his eyes that seemed to see right through me.

I began hyperventilating. This was all too much. The woman seemed concerned and asked something, I could tell by the tone of her voice.

"Am I..Am I d-dead? Wh.. Where am I? Who are you?" The words fell from my lips almost incoherently, my eyes darting between the two heavenly beings.

It was their turn to look confused. They gave each other a look at my words, their dangling eyebrows furrowing while I proceeded to have a panic attack. What is going on? The pretty elf turned her attention back to me and raised a wary hand, approaching me slowly while whispering what I figured were supposed to be comforting words. All I heard was incomprehensible words. In fact, It only freaked me out more. I backed up against whatever it was I was laying on. A glance showed me it was apparently a bed, made entirely of wood. How comfortable. They'd draped furs on it, likely to ease the hardness of it.

At this point, I was wondering if maybe I wasn't dead. I sure didn't feel dead. These elvish things didn't look dead. Maybe their eyes would make me think they are, but that was it. Perhaps I'd been kidnapped and whisked away as a sacrifice or something. Hell, I don't know! The woman sat herself at the foot of the bed, while tall, dark and handsome stayed put, leaning silently against the wooden wall with his arms crossed over his chest, his eyes gazing at me with curiosity. She spoke again, really slowly, as if I was stupid, placing a gentle hand on my calf. Now, I can tell when I'm being patronized.

It was my turn to furrow my brows. My lip curled in annoyance.

"I'm not stupid." I emphasized, hoping that maybe they'd take the hint.

She sat back in surprise. And then a look crossed her face, something sparking in her eyes as she shot up. She said something hasty to her partner and quickly bolted out of the small wooden room, leaving me alone with the intimidating yet attractive 7-foot-what elf man. His eyes had briefly followed after the purple haired beauty but quickly returned to stare at me and boy, I've never felt so self-conscious in my life. I probably looked like a bug to him compared to the elven goddess I'd just seen. I took this time to stare right back at him. I wouldn't back down if he really want to eye me down the way he was.

I scanned his features. He had a sharp, angled nose and full lips, but not too full that it appeared womanly. Massive ears revealed themselves horizontally from behind his messy fringe and were far longer than any elf I'd ever seen. His skin was near flawless, minus the few scars the decorated his face and arms and he practically oozed youth. He looked like he'd gotten a good night's sleep every single night of his life. A luxury I'd never gotten growing up, I thought and a smile tinged at my lips. His face was hard and chiseled, yet held a gentleness to it, an elegance. His confidence practically radiated throughout the room, his posture was calm and relaxed and he seemed to be the definition of the strong, silent type. His body was definitely well-built and solid with wide shoulders and a narrow waist that I had to keep myself from drooling over. Cut it out, Alyssa. You're taken.

I couldn't help the way my hands began to fidget under his intense, burning silver gaze. Do they not have pupils? It felt like an eternity passed when Pinky finally returned, another one of these elvish beings in tow. This one had pale green skin with a beard as long as my own hair, colored a teal shade. He looked far wiser and far older, just in the way he moved and held himself, his robes flowing about him gracefully. His presence sent waves of calm through me somehow as he gave me a knowing look. My eyes bounced from one elf to the other. What are they going to do to me? Should I be scared?

The new elf approached me with a walking stick in one hand, clinking against the wooden floor beneath us. I held his gaze to the best of my ability, a stubborn glint in my eye. If they plan to do something to me, I'll go down without fear. He finally stopped in front of me and that's when I really noticed the unbelievable height difference, watching as he knelt down before me. His hands glowed (glowed!) with a weird, mystical green aura that he tried to touch me with. I recoiled, eyes wide in alarm, but he gave me a look that told me everything would be alright. Everything would be alright...

He pressed a thumb to the center of my forehead and a shock went through my whole body, eliciting a gasp. A thousand languages flashed before my eyes. I felt as if I was filled with knowledge. And all it once, it was gone. I panted, my eyes searching the ground blankly as I wondered just what exactly had happened to me. After about thirty seconds of silence, the shock of it all had dissipated and I meekly brought my gaze up. They were all staring at me.

"Do you understand, now, little one?" spoke the green-skinned elf, a gentle smile gracing his thin lips.

My eyes nearly popped out of my head. I'm dreaming. I have to be. I should wake up soon, for sure. I mean, I did always have an affinity for elves in middle school...

"I..I-ah.." I stuttered, glancing around nervously.

I think I felt more comfortable when I didn't understand them.

"Don't rush her, Naldreas! I think she may have lost her memory." the woman chided, her voice sounded like a melody to my ears.

I don't know how I never noticed the utter beauty of their voices. They both had such soothing voices. I had yet to hear his though. Naldreas seemingly ignored the pink-skinned elf.

"Do you know where you are, human?" Naldreas asked, though his tone held only kindness and concern in it.

"I wonder how she ended up so far into Ashenvale.. It's quite unusual for humans to be found so deep in kaldorei territory alone." the woman whispered to the azure-haired elf, although I could hardly hear them from where I was.

"Arizona?" I whispered, although my tone revealed I wasn't too sure.

Naldreas' eyebrows raised in confusion, which only heightened my anxiety.

"And what year is it?"

I hesitated. "2017."

Naldreas glanced at Pinky with sheer concern on his face, which she returned. Blue elf showed no reaction and he only watched me passively. My emotions were a raging cluster now: confusion, fear, and sorrow.

"You must've hit your head unbelievably hard, child." he whispered, searching my groggy eyes and placing a large hand to my forehead, which tinged with discomfort.

I raised a hand as well at the tingle of pain I felt at his touch. So the crash had happened then? A bandage had been wrapped around the entirety of my cranium, likely by the elves.

"What happened to me?" I asked quietly, meeting the sad gaze of Pinky.

She tentatively stepped forward, genuine care written all over her face as she seated herself beside me on the small bed.

"I am Lelysea and this is Erendiir," she gestured toward the handsome azure-haired elf. "He is the one who found you in the wreckage."

I glanced at him as a pang of recognition hit me. A flash of his wincing face as he pulled me out of my ruined Honda, although everything else was hazy. I struggled to remember just what had happened after the crash. Wait. I did remember that my side had been bloodied, likely by crushed glass, yet I hadn't felt any pain this entire time. Erendiir looked away from me at the mention of his supposed rescue, eyeing the floor as if it had suddenly become interesting. Lelysea noticed my frantic search of my side, looking for the gash that I had passed out with.

"The injury you are looking for is no longer in critical condition, as you have noticed. I healed you to the best of my ability and you are clean and bandaged. You may feel a bit of soreness, though. Healing can only go so far..." she trailed off, her eyes clouding briefly. "You are lucky Erendiir found you when he did. You had lost so much blood."

I tore my gaze away from Lelysea to stare at Erendiir, who still avoided my questioning eyes. He had found me? Questions floated wildly around my head. Where am I? Am I still on Earth? Elves are real? They can use magic? Magic is real? My head reeled with all the information flooding through it.

"Uh..." I began quietly, feeling the intense gaze of the other two elves. "Erendiir."

His eyes widened at the sound of his name and he finally met my eyes. I don't know why but my heart began racing, a surge of embarrassment hitting me. Calm down, Alyssa. Don't let a hot elf cloud your judgement!

"Thank you. For everything." I did my best to convey my gratitude as deeply as I felt it. "I owe you my life."

I swore I saw a glint of something in his twinkling eyes but it disappeared as fast as I had noticed it. A faint curl of his lips indicated a smile and he dipped his head toward me. That tiny little action had my heart fluttering in my chest. Jesus Christ, what am I? A school girl? I tore my eyes away from the dangerously attractive man and brought them to Naldreas, who had been watching with a gentle smile on his face. I furrowed my brows, ready to ask a thousand questions.

"So, are you... elves?" I asked hesitantly.

They all looked at me like I was insane. Naldreas rested an arm on his lap, the other holding onto his walking stick.. staff? Walking stick.

"You are starting to worry me. Yes, we are Night Elves of Teldrassil." he spoke slowly, as if I wouldn't understand anyway.

"Tel-drasul." I repeated slowly. "We are still on...Earth, correct?"

Another shared look of confusion.

"No, no. We are on Azeroth..ah, what is your name? How rude of us. We never asked you." Naldreas said apologetically.

"Alyssa." I said without missing a beat, full of confidence. That was the only thing I really knew to be true. How sad, I thought suddenly.

"Good to make your acquaintance, Alyssa." he dipped his head and she faintly saw the others briefly place a hand over their hearts and dip their heads in acknowledgement. "Well, I do not know of this 'Earth' you speak of, but you are definitely on the plane of Azeroth. Perhaps all the Bruiseweed is getting to her head?" The last part seemed more aimed toward Lelysea and Erendiir.

"Naldreas," I began, looking toward the other two elves. "Lelysea, Erendiir. I don't know what you are talking about. I really don't. In my world..." I gulped at their incredulous expressions. "Elves don't exist, magic doesn't exist, 'Azeroth' as you call it doesn't exist. I live on Earth."

"I have a life. I was driving down the road when an insane storm hit and this, this.. portal, rift.. whatever it was, opened! I tried to swerve out of the way but it only sent me crashing into the damned thing and straight down a hill. That's when Erendiir found me," I gestured to the elf. "And here we are."

Silence filled the room. They all stared at me with wide eyes, even the usually passive Erendiir. They all seemed to be trying to process what I had said and I sat limply in the bed, furs pooled around my waist. They didn't understand but I have definitely come to a realization. Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore. Naldreas was the first to speak up, cutting through the silence by clearing his throat.

"If this is as you say it is, then we may have to take it to Stormwind. I am sure there are mages there that could assist you." he suggested, but I just looked at him like he was crazy.

"Naldreas, you don't understand. I don't know anything about Azeroth. I don't even know what Stormwind is." I couldn't help the way my voice shook.

Were they going to throw me out into this world I didn't know a thing about. If there are elves in this world, if there is magic, things I believed didn't exist... then what else was here? I shuddered at the thought. Lelysea seemed to sense my sudden fear because she placed a warm lilac hand on my forearm, her eyes radiating gentleness.

"Oh, Alyssa. Do not fret. We are not going to abandon you in your time of need, I swear on my life to the Mother Moon." the elf brushed a stray lock of purple from her face, glancing pointedly at Erendiir. "I am sure there are many people out there who are also willing to help you."

I made note of the interaction between the two with curiosity flickering in my eyes. That was strange. And.. Mother Moon? Don't tell me there are real gods and goddesses in this world. Just the thought made me nervous. I want to go home, stat. Even if it means I can't gaze upon these beautiful people ever again. Erendiir suddenly turned and made to exit the room, causing Lelysea to call out to him, although he did not stop. He turned and rounded the corner without so much as a word. I still haven't heard his voice, I thought somewhat sulkily.

I felt a bit dejected that he had just up and left like that, leaving an awkward tension hovering in the room. I gazed sadly at Lelysea who returned the look, squeezing my arm reassuringly.

"He can be a bit unpredictable. I'm sure he is off to find someone willing to help you on your journey." the night elf soothed.

I nodded, albeit clearly in a bad mood. My eyes stared blankly at the furs around my waist, feeling as Naldreas placed a large hand upon my shoulder, sending a wave of calm through me.

"We will do everything in our power to send you on the right path, Alyssa." his comforting, deep voice was enough to have tears prickle the backs of my eyes.

"Thank you. You've done so much for me in such a short time." my eyes watered and my voice wavered with emotion. "I don't know how I will ever repay you."

Lelysea shook her head firmly, waving a hand dismissively.

"That is not necessary." she said with a smile. "Now." the elf turned her body to face me.

"I will tell you everything you need to know."


A/N: And that is the first chapter! I hope that it wasn't too short. I also hope that you guys didn't feel like it dragged on, as I kinda got that feeling as I was writing. I really want to take my time with this as I flesh it out more. I wasn't sure where I wanted to cut this off but it's 2:30 AM and I know if I don't I'll be writing forever. Somehow the words on this story just flow right out of my hands. Anyways, I hope you liked it and reviews are appreciated. I'd love to know if you want more.
