Well I know is not original and this is a Mary Sue being that I am going to be in this. Thought it would be fun to write and hey I like to immerge myself in fantasy once and a while. Oh, BTW, this has a bit of humor, romance, adventure, and the story might venture away from the events of the Lord Of The Rings. I've read so many stories where people from our reality get sucked into the LOTR adventures that I decided to add my stamp to that little group. I have to admit that this is a lot of fun. Warning point of views my change around and there might be some side comments that will most definitely show in ( ).
Disclaimer: I own nothing of Tolken's Lord Of the Ring or its characters. This is just a little thing I started out of my own amusement.
Might Be Insane But It's a Hell Of a Lot of Fun!
Chapter One
A smile was planted across my lips as I sat at the bar enjoying my Long Island Ice Tea, it was after all my third and I was feeling very good. My friends decided to drag me out to a country bar and though I'm not too big a country music fan I do enjoy to two-step every now and then, that is if the person asking me to dance could actually dance.
The alcohol was definitely getting to me, well it had gotten to me after the second drink. I knew that I would have to make this third one my last one or I'd get myself sick. Had that happened to me once before and did not care to relive the experience. Dressed in a dark blue long sleeve shirt with a light blue design that was embroidered across the chest area and then two lines down the front and back it rested on her hips over her dark blue jeans and the black boots that I wore. My curly brown hair was also pulled up in blue diamond silver pins around the top portion of my head acting as a kind of head band to keep my hair out of my face but allowing it to remain down so it could fall enticingly around my slightly bare shoulders. I was never one to be vain but I had to admit before I left to go out for the night that I looked good.
Jody, one of my closest friends, walked off of the dance floor and headed straight for me with a smile plastered on her face. From my guess she had probably got that guys name and number.
Leaning against the bar Jody hooked her arm into the crook of mine, "Hey girl, you ready to leave. They'll be closing in about a hour anyway. I'd like to get out of here before the traffic."
Finishing my drink I leaned against my friend, "Sure! Fine by me. I think I've danced enough tonight."
Tugging my arm she commented, "Girl you're drunk!"
I put on my best pouty look I reply, "Nuh uh!" I stumbled slightly tightening my grip on her so not to fall, "Okay, so maybe a little."
Jody rolled her eyes, "Lets get you home then."
So go home I did, glad to think to have a designated driver and that it wasn't me. I use to always be the designated driver, it was a rather sucky position to be. Fumbling with my keys I unlocked the door and locked it behind me when I entered. Knowing that I might have a hang over in the morning I went into the kitchen and took two ibproferin with a glass of water and then proceeded towards my bed.
I really did not feel like changing so I went to sleep fully clothed, not caring if my shoes were on or not. It had been a long week and a long night and I was out like a light as soon as I hit the pillows.
Wind pushed back her long hair as she slept a light appearing above her as she slept. In moments the light engulfed her form and in a flash of brilliance was gone and her bed was empty.
First sensation that came over me was that my throat was dry, a cottony taste in my mouth. The second sensation was that my bed was way firmer than I remembered and what was that tickling my ear? Throwing my arm up over my head as light invaded my lids, damn it was brighter than usual in my room today, I noticed the sound of leaves swaying within their tree limbs.
First thought, 'Okay, I'm still dreaming."
Second thought, 'What the hell is tickling my ear?'
Removing my arm from my eyes I blinked at the brightness, trying to focus my vision. Noting that what was tickling my ear was a blade of grass and that I was lying on the ground outside I sat up quickly. A groan escaped my lips as the sudden movement made my head throb. To say that I was stunned would be the biggest understatement of the century.
Pinching my arm I felt my heart sink as I noticed that I was not waking up. How the hell did I end up in a forest? This was like something out of the Twilight Zone. Mentally the eerie music from the old black and white TV show played in my head. I rubbed my forehead; this was just too crazy. Did I sleep walk? No, that could not be it; there isn't even a park close by to where I live.
Slowly standing up I brushed off my pants, mentally thanking God that I at least had my clothes on. I was mentally trying to make sense of it all, 'Okay, think! What do I remember from last night? Club, drinks, slightly intoxicated, taking ibprofferine, going to bed… Nope, nothing that leads to being here in a forest in the middle of nowhere. Maybe I'm having a bad trip from what I took last night. Done it before and it never led to this!'
I wanted to sob! I knew not where I was, had no way of knowing where to go or what to do, and I was standing in the middle of a bloody forest! Instead of sobbing I bit at the inside of my cheek and ran my fingers through my curly hair making care not to yank the pins out of my head.
Satisfied that my hair wasn't sticking out everywhere I turned, my eyes examining my surroundings. I tried to rack my brain at where there would be a forest around or in the vicinity of where I lived or a park of some sort I was a bit miffed at my lack of good geography. I was lucky to know how to get from point a to point b. I had a lousy sense of direction. I had been camping a few times but they had a little place not far from camp where you can take showers and plug in your blow-dryers nothing about roughing it in the middle of no where and how to provide food and shelter should you be without.
"Who goes there and what is your business?" a strong masculine voice called out.
My heart literally jumped into my throat but I was relieved that someone was here, maybe whoever can help me and then I turned. Well my sudden hope took a nose dive off of Mount Everest.
There standing before me were four men with arrows drawn and they were pointed to me. Oh and did I forget to mention that they had pointed ears and fair hair and were literally gorgeous!
That's it! I had literally read way too many Lord Of the Rings fics. An hysterical laugh escaped my lips and I turned away from the intimidating sight of arrows pointed my way. Out loud I started to speak to myself, "Okay, I have got to be dreaming!" I pinched my arm a few times until I instinctually knew that I would have a bruise there.
I glance over my should and they were still there, "Hi, nice arrows! Mind pointing them somewhere else while I have a little mental break down!"
The elves looked to each other with perplexity. One of the fairer of the elves lowered his bow and slowly though cautiously approached me, "My lady please identify yourself and your purpose."
I turned towards the fair elf, oh he was yummy but damn it all to heck I'm obviously suffering from a delusion maybe from stress or too much fan fiction, "Look, my name is Melissa Davis. I'm a twenty six year old woman who had fallen asleep in my nice comfy bed, woke up in the middle of a forest, and beside being scared out of my mind on what is going on I got guys pointing arrows at me! And you guys are elves, fictional characters that only exist in fairy tales and mythology. Magic does not exist and this has got to be some stress-induced delusion that my mind had concocted in cause of reading and writing way to much fantasy stories. You want to know my business, well sorry but I got none save for wanting to know what the heck is going on and hoping that I've not lost my mind!" oh, this was way to much to take in. I love fantasy but this was ridiculous.
The other three elves lowered their bows, it was obvious that this woman was distraught and was maybe a little mentally ill.
The one elf that was now standing not to far from me replied, "I assure you Lady Melissa that we are quite real and do exist. You are in the forest of Rivendell and I am Legolas Greenleaf."
My mouth fell open; I had only started writing some Lord of the Ring fan fiction but… "You're shitting me!"
At this point I sat down cross-legged onto the grassy ground my head in my hands as I started to mumble to myself, "This is not happening. I am not living a fan fiction. Why can't I be sucked into the story of the Labyrinth, at least I knew that story like the back of my hand. But this… I only saw the friggin movie and read the books so long ago I cant remember what happened."
Legolas looked to the young woman with concern, she was a lovely thing but quite strange, "Lady Melissa?"
I looked up with tear filled eyes, my hazel eyes meeting with his blue ones, "I don't know where I am, and I barely know anything about your world. I'm scared and I don't know what to do."
Feeling pity and oddly protective, (Hey, you didn't think that I'd pass up inserting my own little romance with a hotty elf like Legolas did you? Mary Sue remember!) Legolas gently laid a hand on her shoulder, "Please do not cry fair maiden, I will not allow any harm to befall you. Please come with us to Rivendell, King Elrond might be able to help you."
(Hehe, gotta love it when he talks like that! Cant wait to hear him speak in his elf language, sexy as hell language that it is! ::gets jabbed in the side:: Okay, okay, on with the story! Geesh, everyone's a critic!)
Pressing my lips together I whip at my wet cheeks, my tears stopping, "Okay. You have any water, my throats a bit dry?"
He smiled to her warmly and handed her his flask (have not a clue what those things are called), "Yes, of coarse. Please wait here while I speak with my companions?"
I nodded meekly, my eyes watching him as he went to speak with his friends. I had no idea what he was saying to them but at the moment I didn't really care. He seemed so nice and he wasn't running away screaming from my rant of earlier. Definitely a keeper if he ever decided to hook up with me… Ah, hell, why would an Elf Prince want to hook it up with a modern day country girl? And, why the hell am I thinking about it in the first place when I have no clue as to what's going to happen to me next. With my luck probably be sent to the elf equivalent of a psycho ward!
To Be Continued…
AN: What shall be my fate? Will I be (predictably) mixed into the adventure of the Ring? Will I totally mess up the original plot of the story and totally change its path to something totally not coinciding with Tolkens plot line? Will I cuddle those cute Hobbits? Will I totally confuse the Fellowship with the weirdness that is me? Review and I will continue my story. If not… then I will continue it anyway and you'll end up reading it and I will fart in your general direction!
::laughing:: It's 3am and I'm a bit off my rocker! I will probably regret posting this but oh hell, who cares! This is fun and I'm enjoying this. Okay maybe I've watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail just way too many times! Don't worry Monty Python will not appear in this fic.
Newt…Newt…Faring!
Ah!! Me ears, me ears! Don't say that!
Hmm, what did I say? Oh yes! FARING!
::clamps hands over ears and dramatic music plays:: I cant believe e said it! Me ears!
::gets chased away by elves, hobbits, two men, and a wizard:: Run away! Run away!
Bwahahaha!
::clears throat:: Sorry, sorry! I will stop my ranting now and allow you to continue as you were. Hugs!
