Disclaimer: I own nothing apart from the original characters and a part of the plot, the rest belongs to the fantabulous J. R. R. Tolkien, and by know way is any of this mine.
Summary: What would you do if you were forbidden to love - forbidden to feel? Faye's trapped in her own misery, spiralling towards the oblivion that waits. Middle Earth is on the brink of destruction, wavering on the edge of darkness that threatens to not only engulf Faye but those few people she has left.
A/N: Hey there! Well I've been wanting to write a Lord of the Ring's story for quite some time but haven't quite had the courage to write one, I love the books so much I just don't feel I could ever do them justice and I don't want to make a complete mess of Tolkien's complete genius. Yet I have finally decided to try. Here's hoping this doesn't turn into a Mary-Sue. This story is AU, and follows the books not the films. This is mostly an angst/action-adventure, but there may also be elements of romance as well. Your comments and constructive criticism would be much appreciated though, anything that will help me to make this a better story. This chapter is really just an introduction, and the story will start properly next chapter. Please review!
I guess you are wondering what happened to me that has made me end up like this. I'm broken, I know that, my mind's torn and I don't know how to fix it. I'm trapped inside my thoughts and memories so while I'm here I guess I can tell you my story. It won't just be mine though, the paths that other people took in their lives are far too important to leave out. I won't delude you into thinking this is a happy story – it isn't. There are lighter parts its true, but it is mostly the sequence of tragic events that managed to tear me up inside and destroy everything that I held dear. I won't keep you waiting anymore, but judge me as you will; nothing matters to me anymore.
Green eyes. Never again would they be seen by those who held him deep in their hearts. He was being laid to rest forever, not fully comprehending what destruction and agony he was leaving behind.
A young girl of twelve stood perfectly still by the fresh, rich soil that covered the newly formed grave of her beloved Green Eyes. People had been and gone, paying their respects and only her cousin, or brother, she didn't know what he was really, remained with her; her sisters had already gone back to the house.
"Faye, we have to go", he reached for her hand but she jerked it away and a flash of annoyance spread across his face. "You've been out here for hours now, we have to go".
She continued to ignore him and he let out a cry of frustration.
"Faye please! Don't block me out!" his face crumpled as she paid him no attention and the events of the past week finally took their toll on him. He quickly brushed away his tears as all of the hurt he was feeling was quickly replaced by anger.
"Look Faye, he's gone and never coming back so you may as well get over it!"
The girl spun round, her eyes blazing. She didn't need any words; the boy could see in her face how much he had hurt her.
"Faye…" he trailed off as she turned from him and dropped a single blood red rose on to the grave and ran away. He didn't see her again for many years to come.
Faye gazed out over the woody expanse as her companions remained unconscious on the floor. Her face remained blank as her thoughts raced in confusion and turmoil. The last thing she could remember before darkness had swept over her was racing through polluted streets. Then as she'd opened her eyes, she'd been met with the sight of a clear blue sky. After she'd gazed around her eyes had taken in the unconscious forms of her sisters, the lush grass beneath her booted feet and the dense, menacing wood before her.
That had been a couple of hours ago, and the sky that had been clear before was now carpeted with dark clouds, a sure sign that rain was on its way and she knew that she needed to seek cover. Although the woods would have been the ideal place, Faye got the impression that they weren't very welcoming.
She hadn't woken her sisters yet, after checking they were unharmed; she knew that they would bombard her with questions which she knew she didn't have the answers for. Where were they? How did they get there? Faye had mulled over these questions until a dull ache had begun to form behind her eyes, whilst all the while she had a prickling sensation of being watched. She remembered that they had been chasing…him. Was he somewhere about, just waiting to attack once more?
Shaking her dark thoughts aside, she concentrated on the matter at hand once again, yet the answers to the questions she knew her sisters would ask her still eluded her. Faye knew that the best chance they had was to find some sort of civilisation so they could ask for directions. The only problem with this plan was that there wasn't a sign of a building or person anywhere as far as the eye could see over the rolling landscape of the vast green hills. Unless that is you could count the narrow smudge of slightly darker land in the distance, snaking its way along that could either be a road or a river. Her mind made up that that would be where they would head to, she turned and bent down to wake her sisters.
