Erie, Pennsylvania

25 year old Artemis was heading home to celebrate her 25th birthday with her family and friends after having moved to Erie to attend a local college that dealt with theater and music. She wore odd clothing for girls her age seeing the fact that most women wore jeans and t-shirts. She wore a black corset underneath a white long sleeved laced up shirt that had belled sleeves, a black dyed skirt that was long reaching her ankles, a pair of black leather boots, and her wicca necklace. She had a large bag beside her which held her other clothes and books that she liked having with her to read when she was away. Beside her as well was a blue hooded cloak that she wore when she was out of the car.

She drummed her fingers on the steering wheel of her car to the beat of the music that was playing from her cd that she had in her cd player at the time, which was by Voltaire. Upon her drumming fingers she had rings on a select few. (Middle left finger a pale purple stoned ring that had a diamond on each side of it, on her left thumb was a tanzanite ring that had three stones on it, on her right middle finger was a rectangular garnet ring, and on her right ring finger was a crescent moon with a topaz, garnet and the same pale purple stone that matched the other ring she wore.)

She stopped at one of the gas stations to get some fuel in her car so she didn't run out when she was going to visit her parents and friends for her birthday. She killed the engine to her car and slowly got out of it. She ran her fingers through her brown loosely curled locks as she went inside to pay for 40 dollars worth of gas for her car.

She noticed an old man picking up The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey. "Good movie." She told him.

"Is it?" The old man asked her. His blue eyes looking over at her.

Artemis blushed. She wasn't expecting him to hear her really. "Yes."

"Then you must have read the books too." He commented.

"Yes, I have."

"Is there anything that you would wish to change in the book?" He asked curiously.

"Well if there was a way. Then yes, but Tolkin wrote it that way. He wouldn't want it to be changed. A female on the company would have smoothed out the rough edges." She said giving her idea of changing the book would be a good idea if she could do so.

The old man smiled. "Well, it seems that you have a good reasoning behind wanting to change the way the story was written." He said with a knowing look. "But a woman on an adventure…"

"She would be able to protect herself if she was to go on such an adventure like that."

"And you are saying that you can protect yourself?" He asked curiously.

Artemis smiled. "Perhaps I am not the best at protecting myself, but if need be I will."

The old man smiled and paid for the movie. He looked at her. "Well enjoy your wonderful day." He told her.

"You too sir." She said watching him go. She then told the cashier what pump she was at and how much. She paid and went back out to fill her car with fuel. After doing so she got into the car and began her journey home so she can enjoy her 25th birthday in a full party with her close friends and family.

Half way through the journey to her hometown she felt there was something wrong with her car. She could not keep control of it. The power of steering was gone and she had no breaks. Her car was out of control. She wrecked her car off of the road. Her world went black.

This is the first part of a very long story. I have sixteen other chapters that will go with this story. Hopefully I will update this once a week, but I will be nice enough to update this twice in one sitting so you guys have something to read. I will have to type it up though which is fine since I have it all written down in a notebook. Please leave a review and I will update soon. I promise.
