Title: I hold in my hands
Author: Sapphira-isilme
Summary: A young lady of our world awakens to find herself in Imladris yet she soon learns that she was not the first person from our world to find themselves there. And the book of a trilogy in her bag that came with her?... Was it all a coincidence? Non-Canon *No tenth walker!*
Author's Note: Yes, i am writing a self insert for my first fic but this only because for my first fic uploaded on here i wanted to write something that would be easy enough. There will be no Mary-Sues, not in my life time, no tenth walker, just a good old fic to lose yourself in!...with a bit of humour and ridiculousness thrown in ;p

Chapter 10.

Elrond's fingers drummed a steady pace on the top of his desk with one hand as the other held up his fore head, elbow resting on the desk.
Kylie's revelation of another visitor had hit hard, in such dark times as they were they could not afford to waste time on yet another addition to their fold. Elrond had been under the impression that Kylie had understood about old Peter when he had told her that she was not the only one who had travelled to their world. Now Kylie had revealed to him that this J.R.R. Tolkien had written many novels on the history and tales of Middle Earth let alone the War of the Ring itself which could only mean that they should be expecting him anytime in the next year.

Kylie leaned forward in her chair towards Elrond. "The only reason i even bring this up is that i have the ability to stop some very evil things occurring. I can prevent countless deaths merely with the knowledge i have from reading these books. I asked Lindir, everything i know of your history from these books really occurred." Elrond had merely looked back at her and mumbled something about not being in the position to authorise the release of such information.

Kylie sat back in her chair, feet together and hands in her lap as she watched the normally calm and composed Elven Lord mumble to himself and shake his head every so often, ebony plaits swinging lightly in mid air.

To say that she felt awkward would be an understatement, it was obvious that he was trying to sort out some serious issues in his head and she had been trying for the past ten minutes to come up with a good excuse to leave the room. 'My friend needs me?' She had thought. 'Left the kettle on...? There's...a...uhm...dog in the...pantry...? Damn it!' She had no relevant excuse so had no choice but to sit and pick at a loose strand of thread on her sleeve.

After what felt like an eternity Elrond looked up suddenly and trapped Kylie in his steely grey gaze. She could only stare back, he cleared his throat and stood slowly, pushing his chair out from under him.
"If you would excuse me, i have someone i must speak to." He said in an even tone. Kylie stood as quick as a bullet out of a barrel and stepped out from between the desk and her chair. "Breathe not a word of this anyone." He finished.

"Of course!" She spluttered "I'll...uhm...just...this way...Bye!" And with that she darted out of Elrond's grand office and slammed the door behind her. Wincing slightly she leaned against the closed heavy wooden door and sighed. "Crap. Crapcrapcrap" she muttered to herself as she pushed off and made her way down the hall.

She had been walking for nearly ten minutes, had been sure that she had been retracing her steps back to the Hall of Fire but soon realised that she was now lost in the maze of corridors. "I knew it!" She said out loud "I knew i would get lost! Just bloody typical! Grr!" She turned to go back the way she had come and met almost immediately with a solid body. She squealed in surprise and would have fallen backwards over her skirt had the stranger in front of her not grabbed her forearms as she fell.

"Easy there" The stranger said as she regained her balance. Kylie straightened her dress with a huff, irritated at herself at being taken by surprise so easily. Looking up she started to say 'thank you' to the person in front of her but only managed to get out "Th.." as her mouth dropped wide.
In front of her stood one of the Peredhil twins. She was not sure which one but logic soon told her that it must be Elladan as Elrohir would still be sleeping.

Elladan grinned at her flustered state as Kylie's cheeks had taken on a reddish pink hue.
"I do apologise, it wasn't my intention to startle you" His voice was a soft baritone and Kylie had to shake her head to focus on his words and not the soft pink lips. 'Steady, Kylie! Focus!' She reprimanded herself.

"Oh! Not a problem, really!" She managed to get out. "I was just trying to get back to...anywhere really" Kylie watched as Elladan cocked his head to the side slightly, his long dark hair had been loosened from it's plait and fell about his shoulders in a glossy ebony wave.

"You must be Kylie. My father informed me of your arrival. I am Elladan, at your service should you need it" He said as he held his hand to his heart and swept it out in greeting.

Kylie smiled and curtsied "That i am, thank you very much and might i say it is quite a pleasure to meet you." She watched as Elladan grinned once again. His grey eyes, so much like his father's, sparkled with a hidden mischievousness that made Kylie smile back in turn.

"The pleasure is all mine." He replied.

"Cool, well...I'm just going to...go.." Kylie turned and tried to gain her bearings but turned back then looked back over her shoulder once again. "Gah! Help?" She pleaded Elladan, looking back to his smiling face. No, that wasn't a smile. That was definitely an amused grin. Damnitt.

"Where would you like to go?" He enquired.

Kylie looked across to one of the large open windows, it was pitch black outside and with that thought came a huge yawn that she could not stifle as much as she tried eliciting a small giggle from the dark haired lord. "Probably my rooms at this point. All i know is that it is in the guest hall." She said with a slight shrug.

"Then that is where we shall go" Elladan gestured to the hallway to left of him half bent at the waist with his right arm held at his back. 'Gah.' Kylie thought 'Such a gentleman!' She smiled and walked forward as he came up to her side to match her pace.

"So what do think of fair Imladris?" He asked her conversationally. They continued chatting as Elladan lead her to her rooms.

Meanwhile back in his study Elrond stared blankly out of his window from his position in front of it. He focused on a far away land, on a faraway individual as he sent out a mental nudge to the white lady's own mind. Far away in the Golden woods of Lorien the Lady Galadriel felt a presence in her mind.
"Dear Elrond" She greeted "How may i be of service?"

"My lady, i apologise for the intrusion "

He replied "But i require your guidance on an important matter"
