Chapter one: Falling



I placed the Queen of the Damned soundtrack into my discman and put my headphones on,

"I'm going for a little walk" I called to my flatmates and walked out of the house. I walked down to my favourite walking park and sat down on the one of the benches. I closed my eyes and started to sing along to one of the songs,

"I killed a million petty souls but I couldn't kill you" I yelped in surprise as I felt myself fall. The fall was rather long so I ruled out that I was falling from the bench. Once I finally landed my head smacked a tree root rather hard and blackness enveloped me in a cold blanket.

When I awoke I was still lying on the ground and my head was pounding. I groaned and slowly stood up. I stumbled slightly but up-righted myself with the help of the tree. I turned and I would have walked if three arrows weren't pointing at me. I froze and one of the people spoke,

"What business do you have in Mirkwood?" I stood frozen for a couple of minutes then finally answered,

"M-Mirkwood? I am not still in T-Tauranga?"

"Do no try to fool us with your petty excuses! Seize her!" Before I knew it there was rope tied tightly around my wrists and I was getting half carried half dragged away. I did not know what was happening and I was scared, very scared. I was dragged to a small castle and led into a room fit for a king. In the middle there was a king and he was sitting on a large throne. The elves pushed me roughly down onto the ground and I looked up at the king,

"We found her wandering the forest of Mirkwood, sir. What would you like us to do with her?" I closed my eyes and lay down on the ground, scared and tired. A pair of hands roughly stood me up,

"Place her into the dungeons until I find out what she wants. Pass that here" The king said pointing to my discman. My only chance of survival was taken away from me and I was dragged down into the dungeons of the castle. I was thrown into the cell and the door slammed shut behind me. I quickly put my hands in front of me and started to undo the knot that they had tied. It had taken me about three hours until they were finally off and I sighed with relief. I walked to the door and looked at the nearest guard,

"Excuse me, where exactly am I?"

"Mirkwood Forest, Middle Earth" He sneered thinking I should already know that. I gasped,

"D-Did you say M-Middle Earth?"

"What do you think" I sunk to my knees and everything seemed to fit into place. I lay down on the cold hard ground and fall into an uneasy sleep.

I awoke as the cell door opened and the king came in and threw my discman at me. It hit my head and I yelped in surprise,

"What kind of devilry is this?" He yelled at me. I cowered,

"Why is there only awful music about death and killing?"

"It is from a vampire movie. This is from my time! I have travelled back in time somehow, you are in Middle Earth and I was in Earth. That is why I am dressed funny, why my music is different and why I even speak differently"

"You should be killed for saying that, but I will just let the guards beat you so you can suffer"

"No! Father, you can not do that. What if she is telling the truth, it will explain a lot" A man said who had long blonde hair and was clad in earth coloured robes.

"Well it would, but what kind of devilry is time travel, Legolas?" My heart skipped a beat.

"I do not know that answer, but leave her in my care and I will make sure she will not cause any harm to anybody" His father seemed to consider this,

"Well if she causes any trouble she is put straight back in here and she will get beaten" Legolas nodded and he helped me out of the dungeon and led me to another room, two stories higher. Legolas closed the door and turned to me,

"Is what you say really true?" I nodded,

"I am in a time that is about five or six thousand years from now. No one is going to believe me and they will never let me leave here" I said sadly. Legolas looked at me sympathetically,

"Get some rest now, my lady. You put your mind to rest and let me think of a way to get you out of here" I smiled weakly and lay down on the bed and as soon as my head hit the pillow I feel into a calm sleep.

A/N: I know it's a long chapter, probably the longest that I will write…please R&R Tankies!!!!!
