I'm so so so so sorry it took so long for me to update. I was sick for 2
days, (flu's suck!) then my mom had to have surgery and I've been eternally
busy. I tried to make this a long chapter to make up for not updating in a
while. *_* Thanx to all you who reviewed and e-mailed me! It gave me the
encouragement to finish.
Attention Possible Reviewers: If you are going to review my story only to tell me it's a Mary-Sue or how much you hate 'Girl falls in Middle-Earth stories' don't waste your time. I am fully aware of how some people think Aurora is a Mary-Sue and personally I don't care! Nobody forced you to read it so get over it! Anyway, that was buggin' me so I said it. Now if you still wanna read this story, go ahead. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Aurora stood frozen while Legolas continued to scream.
"You could have been attacked or hurt and nobody would have known!"
Aragorn put a hand on his shoulder to try calming him down, but the elf just stormed off.
She didn't know what to think as she watched him walk away. She didn't want to cry and tried to hold back the tears that threatened to fall, but she soon felt them streaming down her face. She sat there replaying the outburst in her head. The hobbits knelt down and tried to comfort the girl they had grown to like in Rivendell.
Her head began to spin. 'Uuuuhh! Not now! I thought that Elrond guy said that my head should be fine!'
After a long talk with Aragorn and a lot of calming down, Legolas decided to keep watch and sort out his thoughts. Merry and Pippin were sparring with Boromir and Aragorn was smoking his pipe and giving advice to them.
Aurora was sitting beside Gandalf. All she could think about is how much she wanted to see the story play out while she followed behind. Now she may have ruined the whole thing! Oh great, just great.
'I should have never left Rivendell, but if I stayed there I wouldn't have been able to see the story! I would have been bored the whole time!'
'Yeah but how much have I really gotten to see? The cool parts are when things attack! I'd be killed! Did I ever think of that?'
No she hadn't thought of that. If orcs attacked she would have never survived. Oh well. Maybe she'd get to see her family again.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Aurora was standing in front of her aunt and scared out of her mind.
"Aunt Brooke, w-who was that?" she asked, her voice shaky.
Her aunt looked into her blue eyes and tried to hold back the tears that were stinging her eyes. Her voice was trying not to quiver as she replied,
"Aurora, honey. That was somebody in New York. H-he was calling about your mommy and daddy."
Aurora was frozen with fear. Her mind raced with all the possibilities. 'No. She can't mean.'
"Aurora, their was a c-car accident, and,"
'No! She can't mean.'
Brooke was looking for the easiest way to say it, but couldn't bring herself to look into the girl's sad eyes, "Your mommy and daddy died."
'No. It can't be true. She has to be lying!' Looking as white as a ghost, Aurora ran to her room and cried herself to sleep that night. All she dreamed about was her parents.
She dreamed that she and her parents were in Moria being chased by a fiery demon. All Aurora could do was stand in fear for she could not move nor scream. She saw her mom look over her shoulder at her and say,
"You're not worth it," and run toward the exit where her father was. What happened next was purely terrifying to the 7-year-old child.
She lay awake in her bed paralyzed and with an overwhelming feeling, a sense of doom. She had to fight to open her eyelids slightly and felt she was tied to the bed. She could barely breathe and felt another presence in her room. She tried to call out for her aunt but it was no use. Her voice had long abandoned her in her time of need.
Aunt Brooke was startled awake by the most blood-curdling scream you could imagine. A scream filled with torture and fear. She got out of the bed in the guestroom and sprinted towards Aurora's room.
Her aunt was frightened beyond words at the sight of her little niece. She was thrashing violently and screaming and crying all at the same time. She cautiously walked over to the twin sized bed covered in all things purple, and put her hands on the tiny shoulders of her niece. She started shaking her and calling her name, but nothing worked. She started getting more desperate and shaking her harder and harder, constantly calling her name.
At the same time, Aurora was stuck in an overwhelming wave of fear and desperation. All around her was this felling of being trapped in a net or stuck in a web. She would thrash out and try to get free but it was no use. Darkness was swallowing her whole.
She fell unconscious and next felt her body being violently shaken. "Aurora! Aurora! Honey, please wake up!" When she opened her eyes, they were met with the site of a very scared Aunt Brooke.
Such relief washed over her aunt's face when she opened her eyes.
"Oh sweetie! What was going on? I've never seen you act like that before!"
The terror of that experience was still fresh on Aurora's mind, so she didn't really want to re-live it by explaining it. Besides, she felt too hopeless and sad to think. The reality of her life was finally setting in. Her parents were dead. They were never coming back. It finally hit her, and it hit hard.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
All the sudden she missed people. She missed Jessi, her best girl friend. The girl she met while going through her last year of high school, well, last before she dropped out. She missed David, the one guy who could make her laugh. Nobody could do that since her parents' accident. And Bucky.
'Oh no! What about Bucky! Who's taking care of him! My precious cat. The cat that would snuggle up with me every night to keep warm. I miss my cat.'
"I want to go home."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
While smoking his pipe, Gandalf observed the girl that had mysteriously appeared in Middle-Earth.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Gandalf was sitting quietly in his room after another one of his conversations with Lord Elrond. Looking out his balcony, he heard a knock on his door. He answered it to see a young handmaiden, Forfiwen.
"Pardon me, Mithrindir, but Lord Elrond requests your presence."
'What could he possibly want now?'
"Thank you, milady," he said with a hint of confusion in his eyes, but it went just as fast as it came. He followed the she-elf to Elronds' study.
"Thank you, Forfiwen," Elrond said, dismissing the girl with a nod of his head. She curtsied politely and walked out the door.
"Gandalf," Elrond said, getting right to the point. "I've called you back here on account of the girl, Aurora. I've just spoken with her and she seems to pose no threat to Imladris, I have also spoken with the guards that found her in the forest and they said that she did nothing to raise suspicions but she was acting strange. If I remember correctly they said she was speaking to herself in Elvish, she said something along the lines of-"
"Something along the lines of mourning for lost loved ones?" Gandalf interrupted.
"Yes," said a surprised Elrond, "How did you know?"
Gandalf finished, "Something in that child's eyes is unsettling. The look on her face could mean nothing but the loss of someone or something dear to her." Elrond nodded his head in agreement.
"We must do something about her condition or I fear it will worsen. She told me of headaches she has had for the past few months and I feel it may be more serious then she makes it to be."
Gandalf pondered this for a moment and said, "Alright. I will take the information you have just given me and think on it, although I may have the solution."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ok, I have to go to Florida for a few days but I'll be writing during the trip so I'll try to update when I get back. Please R&R but remember Flames will get thrown back at you and they will set your retarded butt on fire! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
