My songfic: I'm with you
I'm standing on the bridge. I'm waiting in the dark. I thought that you'd be here by now. There's nothing but the rain. No footsteps on the ground. I'm listening but there's no sound.
Jessi stood on a bridge staring down at the smooth flowing river below her. She had been expecting her companions to join her a while ago. But this was Rivendell. Katie would be easily sidetracked. Lisa might be lost. It was a strange and large place they had found themselves in. They had been reading a book and were sucked into the world of Lord of the Rings. They had journeyed with Strider and the hobbits since Bree. The three girls had made loose plans to meet at one of the bridges in the fair elvish city. She was the only one who showed up. It had started to rain softly. She listened carefully for the sound of approaching feet, but heard none.
Isn't anyone trying to find me? Won't somebody come take me home? It's a damn cold night. Trying to figure out this life. Won't you take me by the hand? Take me somewhere new. I don't know who you are, but I.I'm with you. I'm with you.
She had almost fallen asleep on the rail of the bridge, listening to the rain. Someone suddenly appearing next to her and leaning on the rail startled her. She looked at him. It was an elf. He was staring off into the dark. "Hello," she said slowly. He looked at her and smiled. "Hello," he replied, "What are you doing?" She shrugged. "I was waiting for my friends, but I guess they're not coming" He nodded. "Are you upset that they did not come?" he asked. "I suppose not," she answered, "I didn't really think they'd be up to it. We didn't write it in stone that we were going to meet here" He looked at her for a moment. "I'm glad they did not come," he said, "Otherwise I could not talk to you like this" She grinned. "I guess not," she answered, tucking her hair behind her ears, "I'm Jessi" He put his hand to his chest, gesturing to himself. "My name is Lindir," he told her, "Could we go somewhere to talk?" She stood up. "I don't see why not," she answered, "You know anywhere we could go" She trusted him. Anyways, he was an elf. And she was lonely. They went to a room in Elrond's house with a window overlooking their bridge. They talked long into the night, as the flames in the fireplace burned low.
I'm looking for a place. I'm searching for a face. Is there anybody here I know. Cause nothing's going right. And everything's a mess. And no one likes to be alone
The next day Jessi searched for her friends. She still couldn't find them. She had begun to worry. She knew Katie could get into serious trouble if cute guys were involved, which they were. And Lisa would normally have checked in with her at least. She wondered around the large house for hours hoping to see a sign of her friends. But she didn't find any. She was about to give up. All she saw was faces she didn't recognize. She was getting to the end of her patience. She stopped elves in the hall and asked if they had seen them, but no one had. She found herself on an indoor balcony overlooking the main entrance to the building. It was quiet as a tomb. She sank to her knees and held herself up with her hands on the balcony rail. She hung her head in defeat. She didn't want them to be separated. She suddenly felt a hand on one of hers. She looked up to see Lindir. "Still can't find your friends?" he asked and helped her to her feet, "I'll help you look"
Isn't anyone trying to find me? Won't somebody come take me home? It's a damn cold night. Trying to figure out this life. Won't you take me by the hand? Take me somewhere new. I don't know who you are, but I.I'm with you. I'm with you.
They walked down a few halls, only to find them empty or occupied by elves. Jessi had already checked, but they went to the sleeping quarters. "Why are you so intent on finding them now?" Lindir asked. "I was thinking about what still has to be done," she told him, "I need to know what they think we should do to get home. And also, it's not that I don't like the elves, but I think the three of us should probably stay for the most part together. I don't even know how I got here" She broke into tears. "I don't know what's going to happen to us," she sobbed, "I don't know if we even can go home. I wish we could just dismiss this as a bad dream but it's real. And I'm scared right now" She covered her face with her hands. Lindir pulled her to him and let her cry on his shoulder.
Oh! Why is everything so confusing? Maybe I'm just out of my mind. It's a damn cold night. Trying to figure out his life. Won't you take me by the hand? Take me somewhere new. I don't know who you are, but I.I'm with you. I'm with you.
Lindir held her until she finished crying. "Are you alright now?" he asked. She nodded. "I don't think I'll do that again," she told him, as he brushed some of the tears from her face, "I just had a lot of worry bottled up. I'll be okay. I just need to find my friends" He smiled at her. "We'll find them," he assured her, "We just need to keep looking. Everything will turn out all right" She smiled back. She knew it was the truth. He took her hand and they continued their search.
Take me by the hand. Take me somewhere new.
