Erin slept for hours and had pleasant dreams. She was lucky to have slept,
because otherwise she would have realised what was happening and justhow
cold it was getting. When she woke, she found she was still in the forest,
but it was light out. Most likely early morning.
Rubbing her eyes, she groped around for her glasses which had slipped off and put them on, and blinked a few times.
"What the heck.."
Erin was in a forest, but not the same one. Sure, it had been dark last night, but she'd have known if she'd been here before. She definitely hadn't. She stood up slowly and saw she wasn't much too far frm the edge of the forest. Hopefully she could find a phone and call her parents to tell them shes alright.
Erin was getting sudden chills, even though it was pretty warm here. She was sure she'd gotten sick last night.
If she hadn't been in such a hurry to get out of the forest, she would have noticed how totally awesome it really was. How.. familiar it was.
Erin shivered again as she came out of the forest and followed a dirt path. Up ahead she could see small houses, and a few people out working. She slowly walked to them.
A few of them had noticed her before she'd gotten there,and they stared curiously. She stared right back. Had she just walked into a town of midgets or what? Erin frowned and was abotu to ask where she was when she suddenly collapsed, too sick to go on.
Hours later, Erin woke but did not open her eyes. She could tell she was inside, and on a bed that was perfect size for her. She could hear two female voices.
"I've never seen her before. I wonder where shes from." One said to the other.
"Her mother must be worried. Shes just a child." Said another.
Erin groaned and opened her eyes. Two women with curly hair and smiling faces looked back at her.
"You're awake! How do you feel, dear?"
"Icky." She responded, and closed her eyes again.
"No,dear,stay awake! You'll lose consciousness again." One said, and propped a illow up for her so she could sit up.
"I don't feel good. I want to go home."Erin said, and rubbed at her eyes."I don't know where I am!"
"Oh,poor dear."One said.
"We'd like to get you home, little one. But first we must know who you are."
"I'm Erin Renae Clarkston. Where am I?" Her head hurt as she tried to think.
"You're in the Shire, Erin. Hobbiton."
Erin stared."Are you serious? This isn't a joke, right?"
The woman nodded."I am serious. Are you feeling any better?"
Erin nodded and got up out of bed. She wouldn't believe this until she'd seen for herself.
"You should stay in bed! You're not well." Erin ignored them and made her way out. She was actually just a tiny bit shorter than the hobbit women, which didn't make her feel any better. She hadn't known she was *that* short.
Once she walked out the door, she gasped. She looked around and saw exactly what she'd seen when she watched the movies. Little tiny houses and little tiny people.. with furry feet. Erin swayed and looked about to faint, when someone caught her. Everything went black.
