It started as you would expect in a story. By surprise. And boy was I surprised to be in middle earth with some of the characters I have come to love. But I better start from the beginning of my story.

It was another normal day in my world. Wake up go to work then come home clean then relax. Yup that was a normal day in the world of Ashley. Never exciting, always boring. Today I decided, since it is my day off, I would watch the hobbit. One of my favorite books and now it was a movie. I had already watched it many times but hey what's one more time. First I had to prepare for my movie day. I checked my cupboards for some popcorn and some pop only to find I had none left.

"Well I guess I better go to the store. Ugh I was hoping to not have to go outside the house today." I murmured to myself. "Better make myself look presentable."

I headed to my room where I proceeded to look for a pair of jeans and a nice tank top, since it was so warm outside. After finding a nice pair of skinny jeans and a black tank top I looked in the mirror to find my short hair a mess.

"Figured it would be." I say to myself in the mirror. I quickly brushed my red hair down and flat. The shorter side was being a pain but the other side was just fine. Having two different lengths is difficult but I would have it no other way. As I walked towards the door I grabbed my small back pack where I kept everything and walked out the door.

The store was only a 15 minute walk from my house. As I was walking I noticed some pretty black clouds coming up on the horizon. Hmm must be a storm on the way. Better be quick or I'll get caught in it. I reached the store and quickly got what I needed and started the short walk home.

As I reached home a downpour of rain came down, soaking me from head to toe. "Great you couldn't wait like 2 more seconds for me to get into my house?" I yelled at the clouds above me. I stormed into my house and took off my shoes and soaked back pack. Walking to the bathroom I stripped down and put on my bathrobe. I put my soaked clothes in my dryer and went back to my living room. I popped the movie in to the machine and pressed play then went to pop my popcorn.

"Ashley…." Came a soft voice from my living room. "Ashley….. " it came again. I was alittle spooked and went to the living room to investigate. Nothing seemed out of place. Except one small thing. Gandalf was looking at me through the screen when he should have been looking at thorin, giving him the key and explaining things to the dwarves.

Suddenly the wind picked up, the rain came down harder and lightning streaked the sky. Boy was a freaking out. One of the windows blew open. Wind and rain was swirling around my living room. I fell trying to get to the living room. I curled into a ball and waited for it slow down. All of a sudden it stopped and warmth and soft whispers drifted over me. I slowly looked up from where I was to be sitting on the floor in front of thorin oakenshield and his company.

"Are you ok miss? " I heard one of them say. I didn't even react. All I did was faint.

Thank you so much for reading my first ever chapter. This will be the first fanficiton I have ever written so please comment and review. Hopefully another one will be up soon.
