Chapter 1.
The hardest thing about moving was having to get used to the new place. Twice already she had opened what she had thought was the bathroom door only to find out it was the hall closet. Maybe if she actually began to unpack then she would feel more at home.
Deciding the box she had suddenly bumped into would be a good place as any to start she ripped away the tape and looked inside. It was her Lord of the ring collection. The books, the movies, an action figure of Haldir and Legolas, ceramic mugs of Gimli and Lurtz even the silver head dress that Elrond had worn.
" Well looks like it's just us tonight boys." Placing the action figures on top of her wall unit she wondered if she'd considered obsessed with all the stuff she had. Crazy perhaps since she had just talked to an action figure.
" I'll start to worry only when you start to talk back." She laughed when she looked at them as if she had expected them to actually answer. " I need a life"
Returning to the task at hand she began to unpack one box at a time, placing things all over the place. By the time she needed to take a break she had unpacked more then half the boxes. Figuring that was good enough for one day she curled herself up on the couch with a book.. It had not taken long for her to fall asleep.
Waking up later then expected she ended up having to rush to work. Her good luck once again failing her as she found herself in traffic. By the time she arrived she was more then 30 minutes late. Her boss giving her a look as she tried to sneak past his office.
" Don't let it happen again Taylor " She heard him shout as she made her way to her desk.. She needed a new job, working as a travel agent just didn't seem fair. She spent her days helping others plan their perfect vacation or honeymoon . Good thing they didn't know how she kept mistaking her closest door for the bathroom door or she'd be out of a job.
She caught the look her boss was giving her again so she figured it was best to at least look busy. Turning on her computer would be a good start. She'd update her air travel prices till her first client was due. It wasn't the best job to have but it did have it's perks. She actually did get paid decently and she had full access to the internet at her disposal. Waiting for the new price list to download she was hit with the usual popups. Annoying little adds about downloading new smiley icons, or something about a blue pill. As usual she just closed them with giving them a second thought. It was the familiar face on this new one that had caught her attention. It's not everyday she got a popup that had Gandalf staring back at her.
"Gandalf's wish list" She laughed " If Gandalf were to offer you one wish what would you ask for?"
She had been about to close the popup when hell seem to break out. Her boss was suddenly heard yelling at someone over the phone, one of the other travel agents had a coughing fit and Taylor knocked over her coffee all over her keyboard burning her leg in the process.
" a one way ticket to Middle Earth" She had suddenly typed into the space provided. Kicking herself mentally for actually falling into the 'popup trap'. As soon as she had hit the ENTER key she had been attacked by popups of all shapes and sizes. Noticing the little flashing icon she opened her email. Rolling her eyes after reading the email. The words " So be it." Typed in what appeared to be Old English text. The fact that she had not given her email might have crossed her mind if her morning appointment hadn't of just showed up...
By the end of the day she had completely forgotten about the email and the popup. The only thing on her mind was getting home. Running herself a nice warm bath and losing herself in a good book. The drive home was uneventful not that she had been expecting anything to happen. She only lived 20 minutes away, what could happen?
Glad to be home she unlocked the door and stepped inside. Deciding everything else could wait till after her bath she headed to the bathroom. Noticing this time she had actually chose the right door. Just as she was about to step into the bath the power went out.
" and that is how my luck works" She commented with a sigh, Throwing on her bathrobe she set out to find some candles. She was determined to have her bath.
She was vaguely aware of how dark her place was as she headed to where she thought was the kitchen and suddenly walked right into a wall...do all walls give a startled gasp upon impact?
Taylor had to blink a few time to get her eyes to adjust. It didn't seem quite as dark now. The sight she was met with was not what she had been expecting. The wall she had walked into was no wall, She was not sure what it was.
" Who are you?" The voice sounded neither friendly nor was it threatening. Taylor seemed to have lost her voice. Surely he was not who he looked like. She must of hit the wall harder then she thought. There was no way He could be standing before her. Yet the blonde hair, the blue eyes were unmistakable.
" Who are y..you?" She stuttered.
" My name is Legolas"
" no it's not" The shock wore off slowly, denial taking it's place "It's can't be"
" why is that?"
"Cause that would mean you're an Elf and that I am in Middle Earth." She gave him a look as if he was the one who had lost his mind .
"I am an Elf"
" And I am still a virgin" Her mouth dropped in pure shock when he raised an eyebrow as his eyes wondered over her. It was at that exact moment she realized she was wearing only her bath robe.
" Do you always confess this to strangers?" The amusment in his voice did not go unnoticed.
"Look if you're Legolas then that would mean I'm in Middle Earth somewhere and that is just not possible"
" It would seem that is since you are in Middle Earth" He replied calmly.
" ohh really? Well I say that's not ..Hey!" He had grabbed her by the arm and pulled her outside some door forcing her to look.
" Do you still believe it impossible?" His watching her did nothing to settle her nerves.
" Is that?" She stared at the scenery before her, " where?" Her mind went blank as she noticed someone heading towards them.
" Legolas?" Taylor could only stare. She had always considered Legolas to be gorgeous but he was nothing compared to the one now staring at her " Who exactly is this ?"
Legolas still was watching her as he had replied using what Taylor could only guess was their language.
" Surely my son you can not be serious, she is obviously not an Elf"
"You made that sound like it was a bad thing."
" I was not speaking to you"
" well excuse me!" She turned to Legolas "Is everyone as arrogant as him"
" He" Legolas chuckled " Is my father."
Taylor wondered why he said that as if that would explain everything. She had been about tell him she didn't care who he was when it suddenly hit her.
"Thranduil!" Legolas gave a slight nod. Taylor looked from one to the other. She suddenly felt light headed. Her vision blurred.
" I really am in Middle Earth?" She was not expecting them to answer. Her voice sounding distant even to her. There had been only one more shocked comment she made before everything had went black..
"Fuck me!"
