really encouraging. Hope you enjoy the story.
I don't own any of the characters or places, only Elizabeth. Read and
Review.
In Rivendell
Elizabeth opened her eyes and sat up. She looked around and what she saw nearly made her jaw drop. She was diffidently not in the little forest at home anymore. There were tall trees and flowers all around her that she never had seen before. She got up and walked to a very beautiful building with stairs leading into a great hall. Wow, she thought haven't I seen this before somewhere? It looks familiar.
"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" asked a voice behind her. Elizabeth spun around and looked at a beautiful women in a purple dress.
"I'm Elizabeth", Elizabeth answered. "I don't know what I'm doing here, I don't even know where I am. Who are you?" The woman looked at her, then answered.
"I'm Arwen Evenstar and you are in Rivendell". Elizabeth looked at her in chock. No way, I can't be in Rivendell, she thought. But still, the place looked like Rivendell in the movie and the woman also looked a little like Arwen in the movie.
"I think you should come with me and meet my father", Arwen said. Elizabeth followed her. Rivendell was even more beautiful in real life than in the movie, with plants and open spaces nearly everywhere. Arwen led her into a room where she saw another elf. He must be Elrond, Elizabeth thought.
"Father, this is lady Elizabeth. I found her in the council hall, she says she came here by a mistake", Arwen told her father as he looked Elizabeth up and down.
"What are you doing here in Rivendell?" Elrond asked.
"As I told Arwen, I don't know. I was running trough a forest when I got tired and laid down to sleep. When I woke up I was here", Elizabeth answered, she felt a bit uncomfortable standing there and being watched so closely.
"You tell the truth, young one. You can stay here if you wish, Arwen will show you to your chamber", Elrond said.
"Thank you very much, I would love to stay", Elizabeth answered, and followed Arwen out of the room. Arwen led her to a nice room with a bed, a wardrobe and a table with a chair.
"I will send one of the maidens to help you if you need to change clothes", Arwen said, when Elizabeth had seen her room.
"Thanks, but no thanks. I think I will stay in this. Can I walk around on my own?".
"Of course, but be sure you can find your way back. Then I will see you tonight", Arwen said and walked away.
"Thank you", yelled Elizabeth after her and closed the door. A mirror was hanging on the opposite wall and she looked at herself. In Rivendell, she was in Rivendell. If only she knew what time it was, maybe the fellowship had just gone out on their quest, maybe they still were here, maybe she could meet them. Arwen was still in Rivendell, so the ring hadn't been destroyed. But why was she here? How did she get here. Maybe it's something with that weird dream I had, she thought. She sat down on the bed and brushed her long brown hair out of her eyes. How many times hadn't she wished that she could come to Rivendell and meet the fellowship and now she was here. She couldn't just sit in her room, she had to go out and look around. She walked around in the gardens when something caught her attention. She could hear voices from behind the bushes.
"Do you think he will be okay?" the first voice asked.
The other one must have nodded, then he answered: "You heard what Strider said. Gandalf and Elrond can heal him. He will be with us again after some time". Elizabeth looked behind some bushes and saw two small creatures sitting in the grass. They must be hobbits. Maybe Pippin and Merry, she thought and tried to come out from her hiding place. Pippin looked up and gasped loudly when he saw her shirt. Merry got up. Elizabeth finally managed to get loose of the bushes and she stood up.
"Take it easy, it's not real", she said and pulled out in her shirt. "I'm sorry if I heard something I shouldn't". The hobbits looked at her then Merry spoke: "Who are you?"
"I'm Elizabeth, I'm a guest here. Who are you?"
"I'm Meriadoc Brandybuck and that's my cousin, Peregrin Took. Why are you wearing that wolf thing?"
"Because I like wolves. Look I'm sorry if I interrupted you, I heard your voices and just wanted to see who it was", Elizabeth said.
"You don't have to apologise lady Elizabeth. We have also heard something we shouldn't before", Pippin said.
"Okay, but would you please stop calling me lady? My friends called me Liz or Lizzie or just Elizabeth. No title thank you".
"Then you can call us Merry and Pippin if you want, but what do you mean when you say that your friends "called" are they gone or something?" Pippin wanted to know.
"No, I just don't have any friends anymore. Those who used to be my friends didn't like me and I found out just a couple of days ago", Elizabeth said and thought of Annie and Katie's comments on her clothes and books.
"Sorry to hear that, I would like to be your friend".
"Thanks Pippin. I hope I will get more friends while I am here".
"Pippin we better go out and find Sam so he doesn't get lonely. See you another time Liz", Merry said and the two hobbits walked away. Elizabeth sat down in the grass. So the four hobbits were here and Frodo was still injured. That meant that the fellowship wasn't created yet.
I wonder who else I will meet here. The hobbits seemed nice even though I frightened them, now I see what Arwen meant when she asked me to change my clothes. She got up and began to walk back to her room, maybe there was a dress she could change in to. It wasn't so bad to be in Rivendell. She had already got some new friends. She came to her room and looked inside the wardrobe, then she picked out a simple light green dress. If I am lucky I will just have time to get to know them all before they go out on their quest. Why don't you go with them? A voice in her head asked. Don't be silly Liz. Why would they take a women with them on a journey that important ? You don't even know how to use a weapon, you are never going anywhere away from Rivendell.
