Disclaimer: I do not own anything that has to do with Lord of the Rings. I
do own, though,: Jane, Alex/Lexie, Mark, Tara Jacqueline, and Thomas
Jacqueline.
Author's Note: This isn't my first EVER fic, but it is my first Lord of the Rings fan fic. I have lots of harry potter fics that I might/might not finish, though on http://hogwartchlge.diaryland.com . My pen name on there is Tara. Well, please review! I will absolutely love you forever! Oh yah, Jane and her friends are 16.
Alex: "You better call me later, Janey!
Jane: "Don't worry, I will! And don't call me 'Janey', Alexandra!"
Alex: "It's ALEX or LEXIE!"
Mark: "Jane, just get off the bus so I can get off, too! I want to go home so I can read 'The Return of the King'!"
Jane: "But you've read it like a MILLION times!"
Alex: "And you haven't?"
Mark: "Just shut up so Jane can get off the bus!"
Alex: "Okay, see you guys later. AND REMEMBER TO CALL ME!"
Jane: "Kay. See ya!"
Mark: "Bye."
Jane and Mark FINALLY got off the bus and started walking home. When it was time for Jane to turn the corner and Mark to keep going straight, they said their good-byes.
While Jane was walking home, she heard footsteps and the rustling of leaves behind her. She looked around, but didn't see anything. Cautiously, Jane began walking again. Then, she heard that same sound of footsteps and leaves. To not let it get to her, she just continued walking and finally, she got to her door. She took out her key, since no one was going to be home for the rest of the day, opened the door, and went into her house. She plopped down onto a chair in the kitchen.
Jane sat there for a few minutes. Then, she heard an exceptionally loud knock at the door. She went and answered it. The person at the door had long blonde hair, dazzling black eyes, and was dressed like a wood-elf! Jane blinked her eyes a few times. This person looked EXACTLY like Legolas from the Lord of the Rings! She believed all of those characters were real, but how would they get HERE? In the suburbs of a small town in New Jersey?
Person: "Er, excuse me, but I need to talk to someone."
Jane: "Who are you?"
Person: "I shall tell you later."
Jane: "Umm…. Okay. Well, who are you looking for?"
Person: "I think, well, YOU are just the person I'm looking for."
Jane: "What do you want?"
Person: "May I please come inside?"
Jane: "Uh, sure"
Jane let the young man in. They both sat down at the kitchen table.
Jane: "So, what were you going to speak to me about?"
He didn't answer. His eyes were transfixed on 'The Fellowship of the Ring' book that lay on the kitchen table.
Person: "Oh, I am deeply sorry, m'lady, but this book caught my eye."
He pointed to the book. Jane did not care about that, though. She was wondering why this handsome young man called her "m'lady"
Person: "I am guessing you have read these books?"
Jane: "Yes, have you?"
Person: "Actually, no. But I know all of those stories. You see, I know about all of this because I have LIVED these books. I am Prince Legolas Greenleaf. I am extremely pleased to meet you, Tara Jacqueline."
Jane: "WHAT?! Noooo way! First of all, why are you here and second of all, who the hell is Tara Jacqueline?"
Legolas: "I was informed by Aragorn that you might've not known. You are the descendant of a great ancient Warrior from Middle-Earth. We have been keeping a close watch on you throughout your life. Based on the strength and confidence you have shown, we could really use you."
Jane: "Wait a minute… WAIT A MINUTE! YOU ARE TELLING ME I AM SOME DESCENDANT OF A WARRIOR AND YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING ME ALL OF MY LIFE AND I HAVE STRENGTH AND CONFIDENCE?!"
Legolas: "Basically, yes."
Jane: "How could I be strong and confident? I am the girliest, WEAKEST person you would ever meet! I'm more preppy than Lexie! Okay, maybe not that preppy and girlie, but I'm close to it."
Legolas: "In training, you will be a great fighter."
Jane: "Okay, but you still haven't answered my other question. Who is Tara Jacqueline?"
Legolas: "It is your name."
Jane: "My name is Jane Starson, not this Tara Jackie person you speak of."
Legolas: "Well, JANE, when you were born in Middle-Earth, your mother and your father named you Tara. This was a week right before your father died."
Jane: "My mother and father live in NEW JERSEY!"
Legolas: "Yes, those are your second parents. We sent you here when you were six months old, after your mother passed away. Gandalf put a spell on your parents and other adopted family to think that you were with them those six months. And you were bewitched to look like them as well."
Jane: "Well, what do I REALLY look like?"
Legolas: "When I saw you when you were a baby, you had those same dark brown eyes, but your hair was black. Humm… it still is, though, only with red streaks."
Jane: "Oh, my hair is really light brown, I just dyed it."
Legolas: "That would be a reasonable explanation."
Jane: "So, anyway…. You came here to bring me to Middle-Earth? For how long?"
Legolas: "Yes. And we were thinking you could stay, well, forever."
Jane: "WHAT?! But I have a perfect life here! I love my family and my friends! I am supposed to just give it all up?! Just not see my family or friends anymore?!"
Legolas: "Okay, you can go home after the war."
Jane: "A war? As in, the War of the Ring?"
Legolas: "Yes."
Jane: "Wait, but it already has happened."
Legolas: "The books don't always tell what REALLY happens. According to those books, things are just happening at the end of the 'Fellowship of the Ring'. Even that book tells some fake stories."
Jane: "So, back to the leaving issue. Aren't people going to notice that I'm gone?"
Legolas: "They will be living without you. You will be erased from their memory during the time you are here.. When you come back, everything will be the same, though. If this is too confusing, it's okay, I didn't understand either. But Gandalf is an expert, so he has it all worked out. Everything will be okay."
Jane: "What happens if I die?"
Legolas: "That would be a big problem. But, we REALLY need you. We need all the help we can get. So please, will you help us?"
As he said this, Legolas got up and offered Jane his hand. Jane looked at his hand for a few moments, but then took it and helped herself up.
Jane: "Okay, I'll do it."
