A/N Hello everybody! I haven't uploaded a story in a while! The recent Hobbit movie really got me back into my LoTR obsession and so I decided to write this. I decided to do movie verse cause I'm lazy and don't know the books as well. This is my first LoTR fanfiction so please let me know what you think! I don't own LoTR. Tolkien owns LotR, I only own Raegan and Kahlan.

Album listening to while writing: "Babel" – Mumford and Sons

Chapter 1

Falling, I could feel myself falling and there was nothing I could do. I saw nothing but the darkness that was engulfing me. I screamed and sat up with speed panting in a cold sweat. A dream, it was just a dream, thank god. I glanced over to the clock 7:00 AM it said. With a sigh I removed my covers and climbed out of my bed my feet hitting the cold hardwood floor. I rubbed my eyes and looked around my room for something to wear. I grabbed my jeans and put them on. I glanced around in search of a shirt. I grabbed a white shirt and then put on a blue button up

I glanced at my clock and noticed that took 15 minutes! Running quickly I brushed my teeth and put my contacts in. Grabbing a pair of socks I threw them on and then slid on my black combat boots. I ran to my car my dark brown leather satchel bag strapped to my back keys in hand. I started the ignition and made my way to my college.

I was in my senior year, thankfully. I was studying science technology and hopefully planned to make computer programs and work for Apple or Microsoft. I was just in time for my final exam until graduation. I rushed in and took a seat as the teacher sent a look towards me. I sighed and listened to him finish explaining then took my exam.

~Two hours later~

I left the exam room with a tired sigh, I sure do sigh a lot. "Kahlan!" I whip my head around and see my best friend running towards me, "Oh hey Rae," I exclaim as she finally reaches me. "How did your exam go?" She asks me enthusiastically. I chuckle and shake my head, "I'm pretty sure I did well. I'm ready to go home and sleep ya know," She giggled, "You sleep too much!" I shrugged, "yeah I guess," not really caring. You see, Rae, or her full name Raegan was an extrovert. She loved being out and seeing people and was so energetic and always doing something. She had long blond hair with blue eyes. She's tall, tan and had a beautiful figure. Most people were surprised we are best friends me being her complete opposite.

"You should come over to my house today! I'm having a few people over," She proposed. I thought over her suggestion, "Yeah maybe, I don't know." She nodded understanding that I preferred to be alone a lot. "Okay, well I'll see ya!" She hugged me and then bounced off her usually bubbly self. I chuckled and turned back to my car getting in and driving home to my apartment. I unlocked the house and set the keys on the table before crawling into my bed going back to sleep.

~3 hours later~

Sunlight cracked through my eyelids and I slowly opened my eyes blinking. I looked towards my clock and it said 1 pm. I got out of bed and looked in the mirror at my disheveled appearance. My long black hair that reached my hips was knotted and unruly. My hazel eyes were shadowed with sleep. I was short only 5'2''. I was pale my Irish heritage showing through, and lack of sun. I wasn't perfectly skinny but whatever, I liked my pizza. I called up Raegan, "Hey I think I'm gonna come over just give me a few minutes. I could use a drink." "Awesomesauce," Rae replied. I giggled at her teenage reply. I brushed through my hair carefully and grabbed my satchel. Rae didn't live to far so I decided to walk through a field since it was a shortcut.

I was walking in the middle of the field my mind wandering to distant lands and thinking of books that I haven't read yet. I heard a growl to my right; I turned my head and see a vicious dog growling at me. It leapt up, "Holy Shit!" I screamed out as it collided with my chest. I blacked out before I even hit the ground.

I came to and pain erupted in my chest and it was hard to breathe. I groaned in pain and slowly opened my eyes. My vision cleared and I was met with 2 blue orbs staring down at me. I yelped and scrambled back my chest protesting the movement. My head went dizzy as pain erupted in my chest and my vision blurred. "I'm sorry I alarmed you." A voice travelled to my ears as the man who the eyes belonged to came to my side. I looked over at him and didn't say a word; I just took in his features. He had a 5 o'clock shadow, "sexy" I thought. His dark hair was shoulder length and wavy but at the same time knotted. It was a rough look and I must say it looked very good on him.

I finally tore my gaze from him and focused on my surroundings. A forest, how did I get in a forest? "Where am I?" I asked looking back to him. He gave me a confused look, "Just outside of Bree. But please milady, you are bleeding let me tend to your wounds." I glanced down to my chest, and suddenly just like that the throbbing pain hit me and I let out a heavy breath. I returned my gaze back to him about to say okay when I realized I had no idea who he was. My eyes darkened as I realized this and he seemed to notice.

I slowly rose to my feet a flash of pain went throughout my body and I winced, "That's okay…I think I'll…" I trailed off realizing I had no excuse and had no idea where I was. He took a step towards me and I bolted. I gracefully jumped over fallen trees and never lost my balance the pain however was increasing and I was gasping for breath. I could feel the blood running down my stomach and seeping through my shirt. My vision was getting darker as I ran I was slowing down, I could hear his footsteps behind me and 4 other peoples footsteps. I was going to die, he was going to kill me. "Milady please come back we mean no harm." I heard his voice come from behind me.

I glanced back and saw 5 blurry figures running after me. I quickly turned left and my long hair got tangled on a tree branch. It pulled me back and I fell to the ground with little energy. My vision growing weaker, I untangled my hair from the branch just as the 5 came around the corner. I didn't have the energy to get back up but I started crawling away albeit slowly but I still crawled. My arms were weak and I collapse on the forest floor on my stomach. The man approached me, "That was a very stupid thing to do." I turned on my back to look at him, my hair falling from my face and away from my ears, I just saw an outline.

His eyes travelled to the blood all over my abdomen and he let out a breath. He turned back to my face but his eyes weren't focused on me. "You're an elf," he stated unbelieving and I looked at him confused. I heard whispers behind the man and I looked over to the other 4 blobs. My eyes were straining to make out individual figures but I couldn't. "I'm not an elf." I stated bluntly. Elves don't exist, surely he should know that. "You're ears disagree with that statement." I looked at him and then lifted a hand to my ears. Sure enough my ears were pointed. What the hell? What kind of weird twisted dream is this? I dropped my hand to the ground without a word.

"May I please tend to your wounds, Milady" he asked me once again concerned. I slowly nodded to him breathing getting harder and harder with each moment as it slowed. My eyes started feeling heavy and were drooping. The dark haired man noticed and said a quick "I'm sorry" as he ripped my shirt open to look at my wounds. There were 3 long animal scratches that were going from my collar bone across my chest and down right above my left breast. "Is she going to die Strider?" a lighter voice was faint in my ears. "I don't know," the man said grimly, he thought I was unconscious I could tell. No one would ever say that if the person they were tending to was conscious.

I cracked my eyes open and looked at him, "You're name's Strider?" I asked weakly. He glanced over at me surprised and nodded before pouring water on my wounds to clean them. I hissed in pain and looked down noticing all the blood and I came to the realization that I was most likely going to die. I shouldn't have run it was a stupid ass decision. Strider glanced at me and started working faster. He ripped a piece off his tunic and began dabbing at the wounds on my chest to rid of the extra blood. "M'names Kahlan. Someone outta know, ya know just in case…" I couldn't stay conscious anymore and succumbed to the darkness that wished to envelope me.

A/N: Hey guys! I hope you enjoyed this so far. I am having a lot of trouble deciding between Aragorn/OC or Legolas/OC. If it's a Aragorn/OC then Kahlan and Legolas will be close friends and vice versa. Please review and let me know what you think! It would be greatly appreciated. :D
