The Lucky Twins

Disclaimer: I do not own The Lord of the Rings. It belongs to Tolkiens
brilliant mind, and most likely some men in expensive suits have some
kind of ties to it. I only own an action figure, the movie book and some
cards. If you want them that badly I'll give them to you. No need to sue.
I do however own my characters. No need to take them. They're just names
and characteristics on a computer screen.
Chapter 2- Spells and stars
Elliot crept silently into his sisters bedroom. He quietly tried to shake
her awake. Elaina simply groaned and rolled over. Elliot quickly looked
at his watch. 11:30. He shook Elaina harder until she woke up.
"Elliot what are you doing? What time is it?" Elaina whispered.
"It's 11:30 and if you don't get up now we won't make it in time." came
Elliot's hurried reply.
"Won't make what? What's going on?" Elaina questioned. However she trusted
her brother. She got up and quickly pulled on a pair of black pants and a
black lacy shirt with bell sleeves that had a small black ribbon at the top.
She noticed her brothers loose black pants and black shirt that clung to his
body and deemed her apparel appropriate.
"If you didn't notice it's April 30th . Beltane(1), our birthday and a full moon.
If you forgot than it's your own fault but we have to go." Elliot rushed around
the room gathering herbs, crystals, candles, incense, holy water, a sword, a black
handled dagger and a white handled dagger. All the things they would need for tonight.
He quickly grabbed a black bag from his sisters closet and put everything in it.
*Thank the Lord and Lady she's organized.* Elliot thought. "Hurry up we have to go. The
ritual has to end at 12:00! That leaves us 24 minutes to get there and set up." cried
Elliot in a panicked voice, looking at his watch.
Elaina grabbed the bag from her brothers hand. They quickly left a note for their parents,
stating where they would be at such a late hour. Little to their knowledge their parents
watched them leave.
"The wheels have begun to turn." came the hushed female voice of their mother after they
hurried out of the house.
They entered the forest behind their house and ran to a small clearing in the center.
In the middle of the clearing was an ancient well. Surrounding the outer part of the
clearing were large stones in a circular pattern. Elaina silently began to place things
about the clearing while Elliot cast a circle. To the north Elaina placed a platter
containing earth, to the south a candle, to the west a small bowl of water and to the
east, incense. She joined Elliot in the circle he had made with the sword. Placing her
bag on the ground. Elaina faced her brother. Thoughts rushed through her head. Their
party celebrating their birthday that they had last week, and the rune given to the
twins by their parents today. Their 17th birthday. Their parents had told them to come
here tonight, and perform this ritual. What it would do, Elaina and Elliot did not know.
All they knew was that their parents had told them to do it, and it was absolutely necessary
that it be done tonight, before 12:00. They never questioned their parents judgement, but perhaps
they should. How many parents tell their kids to go into dark forests at night to perform strange
magick anyway.
The twins began to mutter the incomprehensible words in a whisper that disappeared with the wind.
At exactly 12:00 the final word was said.
Both twins felt themselves being painfully compressed. Eyes shut and holding each others hands out
of fear, they felt cold and hot air rush past their bodies. Their hearts beat painfully in their
chests and they were unable to breathe. As quickly as the pain had come, it passed, replaced with
a feeling of tranquility. The twins felt as if they were dancing on the constellations. The peace
passed as quickly as the pain and the felt a sudden dread. They felt themselves falling, and the
world as they had thought it to be went dark.

Good? Bad? The Lord of the Rings characters are coming in the next chapter. The romance may be a
bit slow coming and it may not be as evident as in other fics, nothing mushy or fluffy, good old
fashioned fun love. It'll probably be a Legolas fic, the sequel might not be though. Yeah I've
already started writing the sequel. Bad Lethania Bad! Well review please. It really means a lot
to me when you do.
