Disclaimer: No, I don't own Lord of the Rings. Don't be silly.
Note: Okay this is one of those stories with two girls in Lord of the Rings. Yes, I know what you're thinking, "Oh my god, eww!" You see I always made fun of these stories and for a good reason, I was on the "Girls falling in Lord of the Rings" bandwagon for a long time. But there is a twist in this story, which you'll see after reading this chapter. It's a great way to pass your time and I just hope it entertains you.

A Cruel Fascination
Chapter 1
Would you like fries with that?
She glanced up at the clock noting that any minute now the bell would ring and school would be out. The teacher was warbling words about the damage that can come from drinking, smoking, and participating in premarital sex. In a few more minutes she wouldn't have to listen to all the words that had been impounded into her head already. She scribbled random words onto a sheet of paper just waiting. This was going to be the longest five minutes of her life.
"Miss Darkwood," said the disgruntled teacher who had noticed she wasn't paying attention.
"Huh? Oh, what?" asked the girl shoving a strand of her reddish honey colored hair out of her face. Stupid curls were always frizzing up around her face. She made a mental note to buy a straigtening iron.
"Miss Darkwood," the teacher repeated, "Again, you're not paying attention in class. Unfortunately for you this is school. This is where you get your education. Unless you want a job where the main thing you'll ever say is 'Would you like fries with?' I suggest you start paying attention." At those words the bell rang and she wouldn't have to listen to the nutty teacher complain anymore.
She gathered up her books and her bag then rushed out of class with the other kids even though her teacher was still talking to her about the seriousness of her attention disorder. It wasn't a disorder. She chose not to listen to that asshole ramble on.
Health class was the worst class ever. It was full of threats. Remember no sex, drugs, cigarettes, sex, violence, language, and no SEX.
"Julia," she heard a voice in back of her say. She swung around recognizing the voice of her bestfriend Zoe.
"Zoe," she responded while walking back a few steps to her friend.
Zoe dark chocolate eyes glazed maliciously as she began speaking, "The new bookstore has that special Lord of the Rings book. You know the one about the movie?"
"Yeah," answered Julia as they began walking down the crowded hall. A boy bumped into her and smiled as she said, "What the hell are you looking at, weasel?"
Zoe laughed a little over Julia's response to the boy but continued her original statement. "There's a guy down there that my brother knows who can get us free copies of the book!"
Julia burst into a big smile but after a moment frowned. Her dark eyebrows furrowed as she began to talk, "Free copies or stealing, Zoe?"
"Free copies!" responded her enthusiastic friend. Julia nodded her head to the side seeming unsure but agreed to go down to the bookstore with her.
"You know we are supposed to go straight home after school," said Julia nervously as they walked into the bookshop. It was full of the "reject kids" or at least they claim to be. Most of the kids were wearing black clothing talking about heavy metal while also discussing Beethoven. At the counter a boy stood with long mousy black hair that went into his extremely shiny sapphire colored eyes, the darkest most haunting blue. His light clear skin went against his faded red pullover that he wore perfectly.
His eye twitched as they approached. Zoe noted to herself how long his eyelashes were for a boy's. "Can I help you?" he asked in his unenthusiastic voice.
"Is your name Sean?" asked Zoe in a little bit of an abnormal high voice.
He looked down at his nametag that promptly read, 'Welcome to Latern's Bookshop. My name is Sean.' He lip raised up slight on the left side of his mouth to curl into a smirk when he said, "Why yes. I believe it is. How observant of you."
Even though Zoe's dark complexion you could she had turned bright pink. "Hi," she said finally, "I'm Zoe. I'm Jason's sister. I believe you both are friends."
"So you're Jason's little sister?" he said eyeing her more closely. "Should have known."
She had a look of uncertainty on her face while she asked, "What is that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing really. Just simple similarities," he said while walking out from behind the counter over to a large display of books and fixing a few lopsided ones. Then he turned around again looking at the two nervous girls. At this point Julia had a huge stupid grin upon her face while Zoe looked a bit constipated. "What can I help you ladies with today?"
Zoe grimaced at being called a lady while Julia laughed a little about the prospect of it. They didn't really look like ladies. Just two hormonal teenage girls wearing very different attire. Zoe had on a pair of faded blue jeans that were just a bit too long for her and her sky blue T-shirt with a picture of a wolf on it. Julia wore sleek black pants that fitted her loosely and a neat dark red T- shirt that read, 'I love cake.' Zoe stood there silently for a moment then said, "Well my brother, Jason, said that you would be able to get us free copies of the Lord of the Rings movie book."
"That's right," replied Sean. He motioned them to follow him, and they did, to the back of the bookstore. They entered the Employees Only room as he opened up a large cardboard box full of the books. "Nobody bought them. It seems that depressing poetry about pain and suffering was popular this month. Couldn't sell them at all. I thought they were fucking cool though."
Julia scooped up one of the books opening it then ran her finger down a page. For the first time in the presence of the boy she spoke. "Depressing poetry cannot compare to this."
Zoe picked one up too following Julia's example of opening it and running her fingers down the pages. "I agree," she mumbled as she became immersed into reading biographies of the actors.
Sean sat down on a box watching them as they admired their new books. "So you like them?" he asked with a big smile flashing his oh so perfect pearly whites.
"Hell yeah," said Julia as she closed hers and stuffed it into her school bag. "Thanks!"
Zoe did the same and said her thanks too. Sean got up and they followed him from out of the Employees Only walking through the hall that leads into the front part of the store. "You know," said Sean as they walked through the dark passageway, "I've always said it would be cool if their were hobbits, elves, and dwarves. In fact, I wish there were and I wish we could live in a world like that of Tolkien's." They emerged from the passageway into the store as they all stood there blankly.
Everyone had gone. Not even a single kid reading Hamlet and drinking a Mocha Latte. "Where hell did everyone go?" asked Julia in a shaky voice.
"I- I don't know," stuttered Sean in confusion.
Suddenly a hole in the floor appeared. It was black and empty at first but slowly it grew larger. Before they knew it, it had turned bluish silver appearing like water. It resembled a large whirlpool. They all backed up against the wall not able to escape into any of the exits. The hole got large enough and then they fell through. Julia latched onto Zoe who had latched onto Sean. Suddenly it was dark.
It felt cold. It felt hard. It felt cold and hard. Sean suddenly opened his eyes blinking a few times. His head hurt terribly as he tried looking around while his eyes were out of focus. There seemed to be people around him. They were talking in hushed voices then a voice of an older man said, "For goodness sake! Who are they?"
Then another voice, a gruff voice said, "I don't know. Someone needs to try prodding them awake and see if they're dead or not. "
At this point Sean had just found the feeling in his body as he realized he had the weight of the two girls upon him. He rolled over looking up seeing the face of Lord Elrond over him. He stared at him in a daze for a moment then mumbled, "Oh fuck."
