Following their father the girls' link arms and look up at the old house left to them from their grandmother, Black and white paint peals from the columns on the porch and the stone steps are worn. Their father turns to his girls who move in a circle looking at the grand hall.

"Well, Cindy, Des, go find a room." He tells them.

Smiling at each other the girls run up the stairs to the second floor. Many times have they spent weekends with their grandma, playing hide-n-seek in the dark, and baking cookies and cakes.

"This one's mine!" Cynthia announces sticking a hot pink post-it-note to the hard wooden door.

"Mine!" Dessandra sticks a green post it to the door.

"Danke Oma." (German: thank-you grandma.)They say together as they pass a portrait of her in the hallway and head up to the tower they've recently found to be not just for show; their grandma left them a letter telling them where the door was.

Zeke stops at the top of the stairs and breaths a second before yelling at the girls to wait up, then walks down to them.

"Got it." Cynthia turns the lights on.

Dessandra then leads up the stairs into the tower and stops dead in her tracks looking around the room lit by the afternoon sun coming in from the glass windows. In the middle was an alter with two books on it. Lining the walls were tables holding books, candles, and other things. The floor is painted a different color in every direction.

"Wow." The girls say together."

"I guess the roomers were true." Zeke says walking up to a wide windowpane and picking up a sword that hung there. "Look at this sword." He cuts the air with it.

"Don't break anything." Dessandra orders.

Des looking at one book while her sister look at the other.

"This is so old. Do you think mom knew about this?" Des asks moving to a table holding the book to her chest, she looks at the beautiful bow and quiver, another sword, a chalice then she comes upon a pair of white gloves with symbols on them. She gasps picking them up. "Are these what I think they are?"

"I think so." Zeke tells her still holding the sword. "Alchemy gloves. Try them on."

Des looks at two wands on either side of the gloves. Both crafter beautifully with designs and symbols carved in each of the. Both having gems in them. From there she looks at the bow running her fingers over it.

"There and back again: a hobbits tale by Frodo Baggins." Cynthia reads slowly, thumbing through the pages. "Hey, there's a Dessandra in here," Des moves over to the alter, "and a Zeke, and a Cynthia." She gets to the back of the book and a string wind blows in picking up quickly.

"Close it!" Des yells.

"Im trying!" Cynthia screams as her arms are sucked in and her voice vanishes echoing "Des!" Then Zeke and Dessandra are pulled through.

The tower light goes off and the book closes sitting as it was a few moments ago.

Their screams stop as they fall to the ground. The book next to Des's legs and the sword drops next to Zeke.

"Where are we?" Cynthia asks looking around only to see forest.

"I'd say a forest." Zeke replies.

"Do you think were in the book?"

"Is that possible?" Zeke asks.

"With Oma (grandma) anything is possible." Des stands picking up the book.

Dessandra pulls the headphones from her neck and kneels opening her book bag making room for the book.

"Why do you get to carry the book?"

"Cause you're the one who got us sucked into the other one."

"That's not my fault, how do I know if a book contains a portal?"

"But aren't you the one always saying books are a great escape?" Des zips up the bag and slides it onto her shoulders and picks up her Sobe. "Besides, I'm older."

Cynthia rolls her eyes. "Only by five seconds." She reminds. "What's that sou-"

"Man flesh!"

"Orc!" Cynthia squeaks.

As the orc nears Des throws her Sobe at the orcs head. The glass breaks and a piece sticks out of the orcs head as he drops dead.

"That was sweet."

"My Sobe. I wanted to drink-" Des stops hearing heavy footsteps, "Run!"

Six more orcs come into view over the hill as they turn and run. After a few feet Cynthia abruptly stops.

"Elves!"

A row of elves raises their bows. Des orders them to get down and the orcs begin dropping like flies. One that refuses to die grabs a hold of Des's ankle and pulls her.

"Get," kicks the orc in the face, "off," kick to the head, "me!" another kick.

Zeke rolls over and swings the sword almost hitting Des's foot but cut off the orcs hand. An elf pint the orc with his foot and shoots it between the eyes.

"Miss, are you alright?" the tall, dark haired elf looks down at her holding his hand out.

Des says nothing and takes his hand. He lifts her up with no problem.

"Lord Elrond (which I found out to be be Connor in English) is waiting your arrival."

I dismount my horse and let her graze with the others. I glance at the two from Lorien
who were assigned to 'watch over me'. I can watch over myself fine. I see two girls,
twins-identical, walking with lord Elrond and his daughter Arwen across the bridge.
Dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, a slight tan yet one seems darker than the other.
Not physically but mentally. One dress in a short pink skirt with red and yellow
embroidery flowers and green leaves. Her brown shirt does not match but looks nice.
Her shoulder length hair is in two braids to the shoulders. A little blue flower barrette
holds some bags off to the side.
The Darker one wears dark green and black pants that are too short for her and come
above the ankle. A black shirt hangs off her shoulders with a gray undershirt and black
and white striped arm guards made of cloth? Her hair is much longer, one long braid
stopping at her waist. They both carry a bag. Elrond leaves them and comes to me. He
informs me when and where the council is to be held and that I'm free to walk about till
them. Elrond leaves me as Arwen and the twin girls approach. Arwen and I exchange a
friendly hug and introduce the girls to me. Cynthia or Cindy or Cyn as she said I could
call her. And Dessandra or Des or Sandra but never Dessa. Dessandra is the darker of
the two. She pets Nienna quickly before Arwen and Cynthia leave towards the gardens.
I may be wrong as she isn't as dark as I assume her to be.

(Cynthia) After an hour or so with Arwen we met up with Zeke. We walked around the
gardens and Arwen explained to us what was going on; for the moment's
part. We met a gorgeous elf names Legolas. Des said it sounded like
Nicholas. Arwen told us we have the power to communicate to each other
with out minds. That we already know, wave had it since our mother died.
She also said we had another power that would emerge but couldn't tell us
what. We also met Aragorn, her love; but a mortal. Arwen told us she is 2,960
years old. That's old to me but young for an elf. I sit on a bench watching
Zeke and Des sword play. Seeing Aragorn and Legolas I wave. Aragorn smiles
and waves back while Legolas nods slightly smiling. They watch them talking
to each other. Des blocks jumping upon a fountain, she kicks water in his face
and knocks the sword out of his hand and holds the sword at Zeke's throat.
"You cheated." Zeke tells her.
"Pirate." Dessandra jokes, jumping down from the fountain.
The famous preview scene of Johnny Depp and Orlando Blooms movie Pirates
of the Caribbean. I love Jack Sparrow but I like Will Turned better, and Des
likes Jack.
"You are very skilled with a sword." Aragorn complements Des.
"Thanks." Des tells him turning pink.
I haven't seen her turn pink I years, or blush. I know she thinks he's cute, that
elf too. But she's not the only one.

A bell rings signifying twelve o'clock and time for the conference. Des sheaths the sword and gives it back to Zeke, and tell him to go wonder. Des and Cynthia walk in front of Aragorn and Legolas into the council area and sit where Elrond tells them. Legolas sits with the other elves he came with and Aragorn sits with the other men.
