Title: And So She Sang...
Chapter 2 - No Tears
Disclaimers: I Don't know them!!!! So please don't hurt me.
Summary: All Devin wants is to become a great singer with her best friend, Rosaline, by her side. Not fall into a stream and landing into Middle Earth with orcs, evil eyes and a ring that seduces people.

A blinding light filled her eyes as Devin opened them. She groaned and turned to her side but stopped when she felt a sharp pain in her shoulder.

"Lay still child. Your wound is still serious." A strong voice said.

Everything was so blurry and white. Devin cursed as she through her arm over her eyes, the one with the uninjured shoulder.

"Where the hell am I?" she asked.

"You are in my house of Rivendell. I am the lord of this house. My name is Elrond, Lord Elrond."

Devin had a feeling this was a guy who wouldn't take to nicknames with the way he said Lord Elrond. Then a thought popped in her mind. Rivendell? Where the hell is that? She must've said that out loud cause she heard this 'Lord' Elrond guy speak again.

"It is in middle earth. The third age of this world. This is the house of the elves."

Devin nodded then stopped. Middle earth, third age? Did that guy just say elves? Elves didn't exist and she never remembered learning about middle earth in history class. Sure there was the middle ages but that was all.

"My men found you're in our forest, attacked by orcs. I must admit we weren't expecting them to have come this far up north. The arrow you where shot was had poison in it but luckily we where able to heal you in time before the poison took affect." Elrond said.

Devin slowly lifted her arm away from her eyes and took in the sight of the room she was in. Everything was made with dome curves and beautiful carvings all around the room. The room was made of soft colors but mostly white. Then she looked at the guy who called himself Lord Elrond.

He was tall with long dark colored hair and strong proud look on his face. The long flowing clothes he wore were more than enough to tell that he was someone of importance. Devin almost felt her eyes pop out of their sockets as she saw his ears. They where pointed! He is an elf!

"Ok, ok I see your speaking the truth." Devin said as she stared straight at the ceiling as if she was going to expect it to talk.

"Now what do I do?" Devin asked, though mostly to herself. She needed to know where Rosaline was. If she was brought into this world with her.

"You shall stay here until you are fully rested. Then you can tell us how you came to these forests alone. Your clothes alone tell that you are from a far and distant land. I have never seen clothes like these." Elrond said as she picked up Devin's folded jacket. There she saw she her clothes and her guitar case leaning against the wall. Devin looked under the bed sheets and saw she was wearing some weird pajama gown. She blushed at the thought of a total stranger changing her.

"D-did you happen to find another girl, my age also wearing clothes kind of like mine. But she wore a dress, a blue dress. Black hair with blue eyes. Did you find her?" Devin stammered out keeping her eye contact straight on the ceiling, afraid to turn her eyes away.

"No, you where the only one."

"Maybe I was the only one who fell through the stream." Devin whispered but Elrond's keen hearing heard her.

"Where did you come from?" Elrond said with a polite demand. Devin slowly turned towards the lord elf. She explained the whole story to the elf. Telling him about the spot and the stream. Finding the sparkling ring and falling into the stream landing in a forest.

"This is something knew to me but we shall help you find your way home and your friend, if she to fell into this world. For now rest. The servants will be up shortly to bring your food." Elrond said and left.

Devin sat up in the bed, winced slightly at her sore shoulder. Reaching out she grabbed her guitar case and pulled it on her lap. She unlocked the latches that held it closed then opened it. Devin smiled in relief as she saw her black guitar in perfect shape. She reached up towards the top of the case and pulled open the tiny compartment that had all her music papers in it. Devin never carried music books since they where always to thick to put in the small space.

"Rosaline, please be safe." Devin whispered as she closed her eyes. Refusing to let tears fall.
