Please be gentle with me this is my first fanfic that I had the guts to put on here. I'm really trying my hardest to make my story believable.
Disclaimer: No I do not own any of the LOTR characters in this story just my character Elita
Chapter 1
I suppose this is the part where I describe who I am, what I look like, and that I am a LOTR fanatic that drools while she is watching any of the Peter Jackson adaptations. Well…. Sorry but I really don't have time for that. No, right now you, the reader, needs to understand that I am trying to portray all the events that happened to me as accurately as possible, and maybe I can keep my sanity as a bonus.
Now what was supposed to be a great day was going exactly as I had planned it. First, to start out with this was the inconsequential day that I had decided to break up with my present boyfriend. Now you ask how was that supposed to be a great day in any way, shape, or form? As the Dark Lord Voldemort was described was great, but terrible I use the word in the same loose terms. Thus, my day was great because it was to hold an event that was of upmost importance to me. Now back to the issue at hand…
"You… w-want… to break up with me?" asked the boy who stood in front of me. He was starting to tear up in the eyes… and as harsh as it sounds, I did not care. It was one of the reasons why I had to do it, because he made me play the role of man all too often. I had to ask him out, I was basically expected to take care of him out of college because his career would turn out very little pay, and now consistently I had been telling him in my mind to grow a pair before I needed a cane.
"Yes, yes I am," I heard myself answer. It was quite strange, I felt like I was witnessing this whole affair outside of my body and away from any emotions that I should have for the situation. Strange I suppose is one word for it, but it should have been my first ominous warning of what was to come.
"But we were going to get married, and have kids, and…" now the water works were at full power and there seemed to be no end in sight. Yet, it was those fateful promises that I had been waiting for… to launch my trump card!
"Do you remember at the beginning of all of this when we had a long talk about accepting the outcome if one of us changes? Well, here I am to tell you I have changed during my year away from you at college. I did try to warn you two months back," I was breathing deeply after such a long speech, "Clearly," I thought, "I do not talk enough to prepare myself for speech class next semester."
"B-but… We have been doing g-great up till noooowwwww," the last word turned into a wail and I decided I had had enough of the entire business so I turned on my heel, effectively silencing my new ex, and sped off to the parking lot so I could put this whole matter behind me. I had almost made it to my care when again I heard this god awful wail.
"Nnnoooooo ddoonnn'ttt lleeave mmmmmeeeeeeeee!" reached my ears while I was in between rows and judging by the cry's rapidly growing intensity my former boyfriend was running to catch up with me. I turned around to tell this lunatic to stay the hell away from me, but before the words could form on my lips this happened:
HONK! HONK! SREECH! (Tires squealing) and this dull thud that seemed so out of place when I know that really it only sounds this way to someone looking on at the sight. To the person who is actually experiencing it… well there's a lot more going on. Yes I did say that I heard the dull thud… not the bones cracking or the spine snapping or the limbs detaching, because by this time I was already completely outside of my body. No joke, I was some random ectoplasm hovering some ten feet off the ground that is looking at its former host be splattered all over the unforgiving asphalt.
"Well that's disgusting…" is what I said out loud (Is it really out loud for a dismembered spirit? I mean no one should be able to hear me) before I heard a heavenly voice. I only really describe it as heavenly because I can almost… almost hear a harp playing in the background in perfect sync to the words and their intensity.
"Yet you are not tearing yourself away from this macabre sight," reasoned the voice. At this I swiftly (Again how can I be very swift if I am ectoplasm?) turned and faced this new presence and then the light flooded me.
"What and who are you?" I demanded as I squinted into the light that was of immeasurable magnitude, all the while trying desperately to discern a figure in the light. I had no such luck for the light seemed to completely engulf my spirit and pulled me away from earthly death scene.
"I am me and me is willing to give you a second chance at life and maybe love if you are up to it?" the great and obviously powerful being challenged.
"Why would you want to give me a second chance at life much less love? I'm the one who should be to blame for the failure for most of my past relationships," I asked this magnificent being while not completely believing that even it had enough power to give this incredible offer.
"I am not altogether sure why I am choosing you… Maybe because I just wanted to have something more interesting to watch than all of those Mary-Sue plots. Maybe I just want to see you fail even at your second and last chance," the being proclaimed.
"You really do not have any choice in the matter anyway so I will try to keep this as simple as possible so that you may process it. I am going to send you somewhere besides your old world to avoid the complications that come from being one of the undead, but I will make it a world that should not be entirely unfamiliar to you. I will also make it so you can speak the language as a freebie. But my best amusement will be that your body will be transformed into a creature of my choice. You must find love in that world and 'earn their love in return' before well… before I loss interest and before I forget your name will no longer be that which you were Christianized with, it will be Elita," the voice explained and now I could start to see the light fading quickly all around me and being replaced with an impenetrable darkness. I now understood that I must have been cast into hell and am now being punished for all my past sins. "Well here goes nothing," was my last thought before the darkness consumed me.
Please review. Especially if there's some major problems with it.
