Authoress' Notes: Hey Guys. Katsumi and I, Evangeline-the-angel (author of Per Sempre For Always), will jointly write this story. We came to the idea that we would write it after having a (seriously) weird conversation on MSN messenger.

We hope that you enjoy our story (however weird that it gets)

Disclaimer: We don't own Lord of the Rings but wish that we did. If we did, Katsumi would not have Aragorn marry Arwen and I would not have Legolas sail to the undying lands.

Prologue

Elizabeth sat down at her computer to check her mail. She had been receiving an awful lot due to her fans of her story. She looked through her mail list but not really reading it, she was searching for a certain email, one from her friend. She was starting to get worried about her. Her friend was sick and hadn't been heard from for a long time. Elizabeth sighed. There was no mail from her. She went back and read all the mail that she had. Many of them were from reviewers, there was a few from a friend in America. She sighed and was about to sign out when she heard the familiar sound of the mail icon. She refreshed the page ('Damn Hotmail' she thought) and there was the letter that she had been waiting for. Her eyes widened as she read.

Hey Liz,

I'm sorry that I haven't written for a while. As you know I have been sick. I'm finally getting better though. I hope that you didn't get too worried about me. Lol. You never guess what I found just before. I attached to this email, you'll love it. Oh and by the way, thanks for the photo of Aragorn that you sent. I absolutely love it!

I hope that everything is ok where you are; you are not working too hard are you? Lol.

Talk to you tomorrow? Or the day after where you are…lol

Ana

Elizabeth was relieved, her friend was all right. 'At least she's ok.' She thought. She logged off the computer and started to make her dinner. Her family was out so she was by herself tonight, as always. But this night she didn't feel like eating. Elizabeth stopped what she was doing and decided not to eat tonight. She wandered over to the lounge room and sat down on the floor. She was never allowed to sit in the seats. She was never allowed to do much anyway, but since her family was gone she could do what she pleased for the time being.

One of her siblings had left the television on. Elizabeth never watched television and this was the first time she had. It was an ad at the moment so she waited. Finally the ads were over and what looked like a movie was on. At the bottom of the screen it showed the name of the program, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Elizabeth's brow furrowed as she started to think of where she had heard the name before. Then it clicked, she had read the book a few years back.

'It's a movie?' she thought. Elizabeth sat and watched the movie until it was over. It was a long movie and she hadn't realised the time. It was late and her family would be home any minute. She quickly switched off the television and cleaned the kitchen. Elizabeth ran to out of the house to the shed that she slept in.

She walked into the dark room and turned on her little gas light. She looked around at her dismal room. There was only a small mattress with a very thin blanket on it, no pillow. The only other object in the room was a desk in which her schoolwork littered the top of. She sighed as she pulled out her nightclothes from the bottom draw of the desk and changes. The nightclothes were too small for her but they were all she had other than her school and work clothes.

After dressing, Elizabeth moved towards the window and looked up to the stars. 'I wish I could leave this place for good. To go somewhere where I can be loved.' Elizabeth thought. She looked back into her room and sighed. Elizabeth wondered to the gas light and turned it off. She then crawled into bed and fell asleep.

Diana woke up covered in sweat and shaking hysterically. Her head snapped toward the door as she heard the handle turned. Her mom opened the door standing in her nightgown, looking worried.

"Are you alright Diana? You screamed and I thought…well…" her mother, Iris, was as white as the snow outside. She must've scared her mother to death.

"I'm fine mom. Go back to bed, it was just a bad dream…just…a dream…" she trailed off, thinking, as her mother nodded and shut the door.

Diana laid back into bed, thinking of her dream. 'It's nothing Diana...nothing...just go back to sleep a dream...you're completely safe, he can't find you here...mom said he'd never hurt me again...but,' she sighed and closed her eyes, thinking back.

-FLASHBACK-

Iris held her daughter close, "Its okay honey he's not going to hurt you ever again. I'll never forgive myself for making that mistake. We're moving Ana, moving far away, somewhere he can't find either of us."

Diana who was entangled in her mothers arms, shivered, though not from the cold. 'She was only a little girl who is turning 8 tomorrow. She should have never had to go through this!' Iris thought to herself. 'I should have listened to what she had said about him...how she said he was...' Iris trailed off, not being able to bring herself to think about what he did.

"Mama, I-I'm c-cold…" Diana started to cry when her mother didn't answer her, "Mama, I'm s-scared!" Diana sobbed harder and Iris snapped out of her thoughts and kissed her daughter on the head,

"Shhh its okay dear, I'm here. Come; let's go see that nice man over there so he can see if you're hurt." Iris led her crying daughter over to the ambulance.

"We have to take her to the hospital for some tests to see if she's-" He never got to finish his sentence and was cut off by Iris who finished, "If she's hurt or not." Iris glared at the man who just nodded, understanding what she was trying to do.

"Yes, to see how badly you're hurt," He bent down to Diana's eyelevel and handed her a lollipop, "You're a brave girl." He smiled at her and helped her into the vehicle. "Let's see what's on TV that you want to watch." Diana smiled her first real smile that night and nodded, lollipop in hand. He laughed at how cute a picture she made. Stuffed animal dog in one hand, and a lollipop in the other, she was one of the cutest kids he ever saw. He grinned at her and ruffled her hair,

"Well if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were eager to watch some Scooby-Doo!" Diana's eyes widen and her head bobbed up and down, furiously. The man laughed and said, "Whoa girl! Don't nod too fast, you might fall over!" She stopped nodding but continued grinning. Iris smiled at this and hopped into the van with them. "Okay Dave, let's go!" The driver, Dave, grinned, put on the sirens and hit the gas.

-END FLASHBACK-

She rolled over, trying to sleep but, unfortunately, sleep did not come to her. "What's the point of taking medication to sleep better when it doesn't work!" she let out a frustrated sigh. Diana finally gave up and walked over to her desk, and pulled out her laptop from the top drawer as well as her special edition Lord of the Rings collection.

Diana's frown immediately turned into a wide smile as she opened the case to The Return of the King and a note fell out. 'This was a present from that man…what was his name? Oh yeah! His name was Bill!' she thought, still smiling. 'He was really nice, but really young to be working at a hospital. He must have been smart for his age.' She got lost in her thoughts but then realized she still had the movie in her hands.

"Oh!" She laughed at herself and pressed the open button the side and placed the first disc inside. She pressed the button again and it closed, loading the disc. She turned around and found the plug and plugged into the wall and set it on her nightstand. She smiled as the menu showed up and she pressed enter. At around two in the morning the movie finished. She always did love the Lord of the Rings. It was a world that she could escape into without having to worry about him. She sighed yet again and closed her laptop and turned it off, unplugging it from the wall. Diana opened the door to the balcony and walked out. She joyfully welcomed the night breeze, one that refreshed her. She looked up at the stars and moon in wonderment and amazement. Her nightgown blew around her in the wind, fitting her every curve.

"I wish I could just stop running. I wish…I wish I could go somewhere and be safe from him. To be free from the fear of him finding me..." She sighed, resting her arms against the balcony railings and gazing at the beautiful scenery around her.
