A/N - Hello I wanted to say thank you to my reviewers!

***The Crimson Comet - Sounds like a groovy dream hehehe. Falcons are kool! Thank you for telling me to move my story along. It was kinda dragging there. But, don't worry, the next chapters should make up for it... (I hope!)

***Joan Milligan - Thank you so much for your honesty! But Joan, please, please read the story before this? I could really use your honesty on it. If you're worried about my originality, i'm sure mine will be much different than others in later chapters, at least I hope so, I think so. Yeah.

***egyptionecho - YAY!! One solid god review!! LOL. Thanks man! Stupidity? My dear! I purposely did that. Mostly to see if my other reviewers from my other story were paying attention to those hints i was dropping. sorry, but you don't find out who he is until the next chapter!

******Please please please please read chaps 9 and 10 in my other story Behind the Scenes if you aren't going to read that whole story, it will really help you on the back round on this character. K. Oh, also, I've found lots of typos and things. I'm SO sorry! but, i put full blame on my dad for not installing Word into our comp. The format on Notepad really sucks, just to tell ya'll. Right, well, on with the story


Escaping to M.E.

The next morning I was happy for all of fifteen minutes. Then, it hit me. It was my birthday. That wasn't the part I was upset about. The thing I was angry about was the fact that, yet again, I didn't get a single thing from my family! How could they do this to me? I can't believe it! This is the third year in a row, that they've forgotten. So, I was stuck there, at college, all alone. No family, and no friends (as if I had ever had any) I sunk down to the damp forest floor.

Standing back up, I walked a little ways, then veered to the right, off the path. I saw a small crystal blue river, next to it was a log. I sat down on it and smoothed out my jeans. Whoa, deja vu. I raised my arms high into the air, stretching my muscles, then let them fallback down. My right hand landed on something, looking down, I saw that under my hand was a white carnation.

"Freaky" I breathed. As I picked the flower up, I couldn't help but do the 'twilight zone' theme. "I wonder..." I stood and began walking in the direction the man i my dream had come from. When I reached the spot on the log that he had been sitting, a wave of sickness came over me. I was hot one second, then cold the next. I began to feel dizzy, and nauseated. Soon, I passed out.

When I finally cane to, I felt fine, if not a little cold. I looked around my surroundings. They looked the same. I shook my head, I must be losing it. I stood, and went to smooth out my jeans, discovering that, I wasn't wearing any!

"Oh my god! Someone stole my clothes!" I screamed. Every artifact of clothing I had ben wearing, was gone. All I had on me was the necklace my father gave me, and I still clutched the carnation in my hand. (A/N - hey. I guess I'll explain this part now, cuz I'm not sure I will later. see, when she was little, her father, unknowingly, left her on Earth [a long time ago.] and then, she was wearing all Elvin clothes and artifacts. But, on her way back into Middle Earth, nothing made in Earth survived the trip... so, yeah... does that make sense? It does to me, but you know, I'm the one who's writing this, so I have no idea. Well, e-mail me or write a review about it, and I'll try to explain it better. thnx)

At the sound of someone approaching, I hid myself quickly in some bushes. A young man with long platinum blond hair and dull blue eyes came into view. He wore a dark green cape, brown tunic, and green leggings with brown boots. He looked like he was just scouting the area, sparing a quick glance at everything around him, then moving one. As he came closer, I whispered,

"Uh, sit? Umm, could I uh, borrow your cape, cloak thingy? Please?" His attention whipped in my direction.

"Who's there?" He demanded.

"Look, I'll answer all your questions, or, at lest the ones I know the answers to, if you'll lend me your cape." He nodded and threw his cloak in my direction with one hand, with the other, he pulled the bow he had been carrying around on his back, out. Hastily, I put on the cloak. As I stood, I could see that it was much too big for me, and dragged on the floor. Of course, this man was about 6', where I was a meager 5'.

To my left I heard something snap. I looked up, and saw a small band of ten very ugly beasts. Sticking out of the mans boot, I could see the hilt of a dagger. I darted over to him (keeping the cloak closed with my left hand) and grabbed it in my right. It was then that the monsters attacked. Three of them ran ff to my direction while the others occupied my new friend (I hoped.) I managed to kill the first two easily enough, but the third struck at my left ankle. I collapsed onto the floor. As the thing poised its dagger over me, ready for the next strike, an arrow found its way to his heart. It toppled over, dead.

"Are you injured?" My hero asked, running over to me.

"It's nothing but a flesh wound." I replied, waving his helping hands away.Trying to stand on my own, I only succeeded in falling flat on my bum. The world started spinning again. Vaguely, I could remember my savior take me awkwardly into his arms and begin running.
