Beyond Your Imagination
By Lorelie Silke
~Prologue~
oOo~-~oOo~-~ oOo~-~oOo~-~oOo~-~oOo~-~oOo~-~oOo~-~oOo~-~oOo
It is an ordinary day in our modern technology world; ten girls were standing, sitting, laughing and talking altogether at the same time under the shade of a giant willow tree that is strangely standing in dry ground in the middle of a beautiful, gigantic garden behind a majestic looking mansion. These girls were in fact, friends with the daughter of the owner of the mansion. Now, shall we meet them...?
Leaning on the tree bark and was the first girl's name is Arlene Peredhiel. She has long, straight, ivory-dark hair that goes down to her waist, which is normally tied to a woven-style ponytail. She has bright brown eyes that make her look beautiful, but stern. She stood about 5'7". She has a vast and a strong personality of a leader, but she will do anything to keep peace between her friends and their rivals, since she is their leader.
The next girl standing in front of Arlene facing her is named Bella Urandwen. She has short, dark blonde hair that barely reaches her shoulders. She has flashing blue eyes that are like her mother's. She stood about 5'6". She has a strong and stout body, but still is, as every lady should be, graceful. Her personality is strong, like Arlene, but she is more of second-in-line of order. She is strong and brave, and she always stays protective to her friends, but she has a sometimes, an uncontrollable temper.
Farren Urandwen is Bella's younger sister and was sitting beside Arlene's standing figure. She has slightly longer hair than her sister reaching to her shoulders in the color light brown. She, unlike her sister, has brown eyes from her father's side of her family. She was just a few centimeters shorter than Bella. She has a quiet personality, unlike her sister. She is always calm and looks for a second perspective before coming to a complete conclusion. She had always been the person to deal with her sister's temper, other than Arlene and Émery.
The one leaning on the tree bark beside Arlene is Émery Irtharien who is the next girl. She has averagely long, gold hair that went halfway down her back, with sparkling hazel eyes. Her height is between 5'5" and 5'6". She is more intelligent than Bella, but still strong and valiant. She and Bella are the "sisters-in-arms" in their team. Émery was the girl fond of animals, especially in horses.
Tania Arathwen is next and is sitting on the grass a little farther from Émery. She is slightly different from the others. She has dark golden-brown hair that reached half-way down her back, and deep brown eyes to match. Her height is about 5'6". She was graceful, valiant, and smart. But she has a little habit of talking to animals, making people sometimes think that she is strange. She likes sword art, not like the Japanese sword art, but like the sword art that you watch in the old time colossal movies.
Now, we move on to the next girl, her name is Lauren Elvenstar and she was currently sitting in a hollow spot on the top of the tree, unseen and unnoticed. However, above her was still covered with branches and leaves, shielding her from the sunlight. [A/N: If you don't get the picture, I simply mean that she was sitting in a spot above her friends, but she was not visible unless you stand directly under the tree shade. She simply sat in the middle of the tree. I hope you get what I mean. I myself find it hard to explain.] She has straight, long, silvery-blonde hair that goes down to her waist. Sparkling crystal blue eyes that glimmer in the light of the moon. She stood about 5'7". She has a quiet personality and doesn't talk much. But she has a strange habit of daydreaming or getting lost in her thoughts, and that can sometimes lead her into trouble. However, she is an extremely good archer and knows how to defend herself. But she has a sad past that will be revealed in due time.
The next girl would be Lauren's cousin, Hailey Elvenhavren, who is sitting and chatting with Tania. Well, to be honest, she was more like a sister to Lauren, and it's true! They both do look like sisters, twin in fact! The only difference is that Hailey's hair is wavy but also blonde in color, yet it was more golden. She has shimmering lush green eyes that shine in the sunlight. She stood only two centimeters shorter than Lauren. She has the same quiet personality like her twin-like cousin, but she is a little more active and more open for new things. She is a talented archer, like her cousin, but she was more into short-swords.
Now we go to Penny Nately who is sitting in an upright position with her hands supporting her weight behind her and her legs folded. (Note: Her long name is Penelope Nately.) She has dark blonde curly hair reaching halfway her back. She also had deep brown eyes that most people love. She stood around 5'3", quite short among them. But, she was the youngest in their group after all. She has a huge heart and loves to meet and befriend new people. She also tries to be positive in every way she has.
Laying her head on Penny's lap was Marie Quinn who was also Penny's cousin. (Note: Marie's long name is Meredith Quinn.) Marie has short curly hair in the color bushy brown. She had hazel eyes that sparkle when she's excited. She stood around 5'4", second shortest. She has a little hyperactive personality but is always there to look after Penny. Both were hardly ever seen without each other.
The final girl sitting beside Penny and Marie is Fiona Carlile. She has pitch black curly hair and icy blue eyes. Her height is about 5'5". She has a joyful, caring, kind and loving personality. However she wouldn't back down when she wants to prove something wrong and she can be quite hyperactive when she is in an excited mood.
They were all chatting peacefully until Penny made a joke that made them all laugh out loud. All except Lauren, who remained "invisible" at the tree top.
"You know girls?" Arlene said, drawing the girls' attentions. "This is the first time I've laughed this hard since… forever!" She said amidst her laughter.
"We never would have laughed this hard if Penny hadn't made that hilarious joke!" Marie said while hugging her stomach.
"Yeah! I mean seriously Penny, you made Mr. Johnson's hair that is usually perrr-fect into a butler style and divided in the middle while he was asleep while guarding you during you detention?!" Bella said. (Notice her sarcasm when she said perfect.) And once again, they fell down laughing.
"But ya girls know?" Fiona wiped away a tear from her eyes since she had laughed so hard. "It's fun to have a laugh once in a while, right Lauren?" She looked around to look for Lauren.
"Lauren? Where are you?" Arlene asked again. Now, every one of them was looking for Lauren, until Farren looked up.
"Hey girls?" She said. They looked at her. Farren smirked. "You might wanna look up." She said while pointing up to the direction where Lauren was sitting.
Sure enough, Lauren sat there. Still and unmoving, with a book on her lap. Only, she wasn't looking at the book. She was looking away to the south, and her eyes were wandering away. They girls knew what she was doing. She was daydreaming, again.
"I'll get her." Fiona said. She walked to the tree bark and placed her hand on it. "Lauren… Wake up!" she called, making Lauren jolt in surprise.
"Hmm? Oh!" Lauren exclaimed when she looked down. "Sorry! I was dozing off again. I'm coming down!"
And with that, Lauren just hopped down from the spot she was sitting on and gracefully landed near her friends.
"So," Lauren said when she finally reached them. "What did I miss?" She asked. Penny looked at her as if she had just grown three heads.
"You didn't hear the laughter we erupted a few minutes ago?" She asked Lauren, who gave her a blank look. Hailey slapped her forehead softly. Lauren's daydreaming is getting worst.
"Anyways, let's not talk about that." Arlene, seeming to understand what Hailey meant, changed the subject. "You should maybe try stopping that Lauren." She said to Lauren, who looked confused.
"Stop what?" Lauren gave a confused look. Now it was Bella's turn to look at her as if she had grown three heads. Tania merely shook her head slowly. Émery and Farren just sighed. No matter what they do, Lauren always daydreams.
"She meant your daydreaming of course!" Bella snapped. "One of these days, someone's gonna kidnap you while you're outta your thoughts." She continued. This time Lauren frowned her brows and swatted her hand at Bella, as if swatting away a fly.
"Yeah, whatever. Hey, you know girls?" Lauren said. Bella growled, she knew Lauren liked to ignore her like that, so she let it slide from her temper. "I just had a weird vision again. And it's the same one lately." Lauren added, changing the subject.
"Oh really?" Arlene said, starting to take interest. "What was it this time?" She made a curious face. This time, the other girls also seemed interested. They knew that most of Lauren's visions come true when the time is right. Lauren seemed a little hesitant.
"Well, we… Ehm, you know what? I think I'll keep this vision to myself for now." Lauren said, changing her mind. It was replied by a long "awww" of disappointment by Penny and Marie, but the other girls merely giggled.
"What were you reading anyway? While you were up there?" Hailey asked, pointing up to the hollow tree space. Then pointing to the book Lauren was holding.
"The usual. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings." Lauren replied in an "obviously" tone.
"Oh come on Lauren!" Émery teased. "You've read that a thousand times! What's left to read?" She added.
Lauren frowned. "It's not just the story I'm reading right now, I'm reading about the elf language!" She replied in an "angry yet kind" tone. "I think it's really cool. I mean you know, if elves were real, how cool that would be?!" Lauren added in a rather excited tone.
Tania chuckled. "Well, no one knows about LotR more than you do Lauren." She leaned on the tree again, and continued in a teasing tone. "I mean, sure, we all know it, but not as well as you do. And besides, wasn't that the reason you started to study archery? You fell in love with elves ever since you read that book. Right?" Lauren scowled, but it had a smile.
"Hey Arlene, who's your favorite character I LotR?" Bella asked teasingly. "Mine would be Boromir. *sniff* But it's so sad in the end he died." She pretended to sob. This made Marie and Penny giggle.
"Hmm, that's hard." Arlene furrowed her brows, as if thinking. And she finally decided. "I think it would be Aragorn. What about you Émery?" she asked to Émery the same question Bella asked her.
"Hmm, definitely would be Éomer." Émery answered. "Tania?"
"He died, and he was barely mentioned. But when I saw his face in the movie, I really like him." Tania said, looking down.
"Let me guess, Theodred?" Farren said. Tania blushed but kept quiet. "Don't worry, he's resting in peace." Farren said while patting Tania's back. Finally, Tania looked up to Farren.
"What about you Farren?" she asked. This definitely caught Farren off guard, because she blinked her eyes a little bit. But then she simply smiled.
"Faramir." She simply said. Bella looked up.
"Hey! The guy you like is my man's brother!" she said. Farren chuckled, and then looked at Hailey.
"What about you Hailey?" she asked.
"He died at the battle in Helms Deep." Hailey simply said. Lauren smirked a little.
"Okay. It's definitely Haldir." She said jokingly. Hailey looked up and said "HEY!" out loud, as if it were a bad thing. Arlene, Émery, Tania, Farren and Bella tried to stifle their giggles. However Hailey didn't seem to want to give up. So she smirked evilly.
"Then I should probably tell everyone that you're in love with the elf prince of Mirkwood, right? Lo-re-lie."
At hearing Hailey call her by that name, Lauren yelled "Hey!" and dropped herself on top of Hailey and the two began to wrestle each other, toppling to the ground. The other girls laughed, and then Arlene tried to pull them away from each other.
"Alright ladies, that would be enough!" But Lauren and Hailey grabbed her foot, one foot each, and pulled, making Arlene hurtling onto the ground in a loud thump.
"Hey girls, you know what this reminds me?" Tania said amidst her giggles suddenly.
"What?" All the girls said at once. Tania giggled a little before answering.
"The time when Boromir was teaching the hobbits practice swords. Remember?" She said.
At realizing who "the hobbits" Tania was referring to, Marie and Penny blushed every so lightly before helping Lauren, Hailey and Arlene up. Suddenly, Penny gasped at points past the three.
"What's that?" She exclaimed. The girls turned their attention and turned around. That's when they saw what she meant. They saw something shimmering under some bushes.
Penny, being the most curious one in their group, runs past them.
"Penny!" Marie said, she knew her cousin's curiosity can lead into trouble sometimes. But they all followed her.
Penny stopped in front of the bushes. Then, she pushes them away, with the help of Fiona and Arlene, revealing a huge hole, big enough for them to fall in. they starred at it wide eyes for a moment. Marie was a little rattled.
"Um, girls, I don't know about this. Maybe we should just go back." She said in a rather scared voice and started to rise from her squatting position, but she stumbled. Making her trip onto Penny, who was closest to the hole, and both fell into the hole! Penny screamed, followed by Marie.
"Penny! Marie!" Fiona shouted, but she wasn't careful and started to fall into the hole. She screamed.
"Fiona!" Arlene tried to grab Fiona's shirt, but ended up falling in too! Bella tried to grab Arlene but also ended up stumbling in, she didn't scream though, only exclaimed.
"Bella!" Farren, who saw her sister falling, shouted but stumbled. And fell in too. Followed by Émery and Tania, who tried to grab Farren. But ended up falling in too.
Hailey slapped her hand to her forehead as she saw the domino effect. Her friends can sometimes be soo annoying. Lauren kept quiet while she was looking into the hole as her friends fell in. But she just leaned forward a little too much. So while doing so, she accidentally stumbled and fell.
"Lauren!" Hailey shouted. Trying to save Lauren by grabbing her shirt. But in the end, since Lauren was heavier than she was, Hailey ended falling into the hole too.
Lauren fell head first. While falling, she felt her head bump to something. And the last thing she remembered was hearing Hailey shriek a little, then, nothing more.

Author's Note: Thanks for reading! It took me forever to write this chapter. Please review and comment about it. It'll really help me and encourage me. Now, to clear a few things…
I know the OC back names are soo revealing (scratch Fiona, Marie and Penny though.) that they aren't from our modern world, but that will be explained in due time.
And if you're wondering why the OC names are different from the plot names, I will explain soon why. Maybe in the next chapter or two.
Once again, please review! I would really appreciate it!
Namaarie for now…
