"Race you to the river!" I yelled to my best friend, Paisley. We were, as usual, reenacting The Hobbit, me being Fili and she Kili. I had my bow and arrow to lend her, and she let me borrow her plastic sword.

"Meghan! No fair! You got a head start!" Paisley bolted past me and jumped into the cold river, and I followed. The water was freezing. Luckily, it was summer so it was refreshing to feel the cold water against our faces.

We laughed as we climbed out of the river.

"Well, Fili, we should probably get going before the orcs find us." Paisley started. We both looked at a random tree pretending that wargs and orcs were running right towards us.

"Climb a tree!" I yelled. I ran and climbed a tree and she was right behind me. We climbed nearly to the top, luckily we aren`t afraid of heights.

"I think we lost them." I said. We climbed down the tree ready to dream up our next encounter; I was thinking the spiders of Mirkwood.

But then Paisley`s phone rang. She ran to grab her bag and answered it.

"Hello. Ok. I`ll be there in 5 minutes." Paisley hung up the phone. "I have to go home for dinner. Wanna continue our adventure tomorrow?"

"Sure" I replied. "I`m gonna hang out here for a while."

Paisley handed me my bow and arrows and I handed her the plastic sword. "See you tomorrow." Paisley said before she turned around and walked out of the forest.

I grabbed my bag, and walked around the forest, not really paying attention to where I was going, as I kicked a stone. I sat on the edge of the river, with my feet dipping in the cool water, and played skipping stones until I was out of stones. I decided to cross the river for once, and I walked for about a mile until I decided I wanted to turn back, only to find I was in the middle of nowhere. I tried turning back, but I don`t know which way I came from. I decided to walk to my left, and hopefully it took me back to the river.

It didn`t. I found myself before a large leaf pile instead. 'That`s weird. It`s months from fall.' I thought. I decided to jump in the big heap. I reached the bottom of the leaf pile to find it hard, and almost felt like wood. I walked out of the leaf pile and pushed all the leaves out of the way.

Underneath all the leaves I found a hobbit-hole-like door. I pulled on the doorknob in the center of the circular door and found complete blackness inside.

I leaned in to see if there was anything inside. "Hello?" I asked, and confirmed that nobody was inside. Then it happened. I FELL into the hole.

It was dark, and I fell for ages as it seemed. Then I hit my head hard, and blacked out.
