A/N: Thankyou to my only reviewer - Leah. Anyway here is the next chapter.
Sorry for taking so long too write another.
I do not own Lord of the Rings, but all other characters are mine.
Lost and Found
Approx 5 years later Earth time.
Life inevitably goes on, and so I chose to bury myself in my studies. I must admit when I decided to continue my studies, I was not thinking rationally. Seeing Erica die, made my resolve to be a doctor more firm, and so I worked harder. I am sure if my family was alive they would have cared but as it was, I had lost all of mine when I was young. Since the age of three I had passed through more than half a dozen foster families. The high number wasn't because I was a bad child, I just had some interesting traits. Some of the more unusual ones were talking to the stars. I honestly felt that if I listened hard enough, sometimes I would hear them whispering their answers. Apart from that, I was a child genius, and that intimidated a lot of people. Many once they found out, would either stare at me in awe, or spurn me for it.
The most daunting part for me was since Erica's death I dreamt nightly that I was with Erica, and within these dreams I spoke to her. She was always telling me how we would meet again, but I was unsure how. Usually I didn't listen to dreams, but I had dreamt the same thing every night for the last two years.

"Penny," a soft voice echoed around me.
Turning I could see Erica, or what appeared to be an older version of her. "Erica, is that you?" I would asked hesitantly
Smiling the woman would approach, nodding she continued, "Yes it is I, but there is something more important to discuss than who I am, such as who you are" Raising as eyebrow she handed me a mirror, "look," she urged, pushing it towards my face.
At first I would see nothing different, about myself, but the image would slightly change. My natural blond hair would lighten, and my eyes would go from brown to silver. Shocked I would drop the mirror and then I would see my hands. All over my palms was silver markings, very fine, and very intricate. The marking were no where else save my hands.
I looked up at Erica, but now she had change form into the girl I saw 5 years ago. Before she had been burned. "Remember your who you are Penny, and soon I shall see you." she would speak in a soft voice.

It was always the same. I sometimes would wonder what she meant 'Who I am? what was that supposed to mean?' I thought. The thing that really confused me was my reflection. Looking in the mirror I appeared as normal. Standing at 5'10" I had elbow length blond hair, with chocolate brown eyes. I was a little thin, and appeared tired, but hey I was a newly graduated surgeon - who had time for sleep?
Pulling myself out of my thoughts, I looked at my watch and realised I was late for my shift at the hospital. Stuffing a change of clothes into a bag, I quickly made for my car, a second hand Honda Civic, and started the engine. Pulling quickly out of my driveway, I never saw the huge semi trailer hit.
I lived along a main road, and traffic usually was very dense. Feeling my neck snap, a sharp pain shot through my body before I lost conciseness.

From the shadow, the figure of a golden haired elf emerged, "Nae saian luume'(It has been too long) Alcaril" The male said with an exotic accent, while approaching my bed.
Realising who it is, I break out into a grin, "Lle maa quel(You look good) Legolas." I tried raising out of the bed, but Legolas had come over and pushed me back down. Looking up at him I asked, "Well how have you been?"
Legolas sat down on the edge of the bed, fidgeting, "I have been well in my travels, but let us not speak of them, how are you?" He spoke vaguely, keeping much of his face hidden from me, while looking at the intricate design of the blanket that covered me.
I knew that Legolas would not tell me what was on his mind, until he was ready. Sighing lightly, I replied, "I have found her, and I worry," pausing I added sadly, "She deserves better than what she has had, but I am not sure whether she will be happy here."
Legolas looked surprised, "You have found her?" he asked, "the last of the royal line of the Athans? Surely she will return?"
"Aye, that she will, and soon" I answered. Taking his hand and rubbing it between my fingers, I whispered, "I have missed you.. Heruamin(my lord)"
Legolas looked at me, and taking my hand answered, "I too lirimaer amin(my lovely one)"
Suddenly a knocking was heard on the door, and Legolas stood to answer, but not before Glorfindel stormed in the room, looking very upset.
"Why do you bring her here, to middle earth when our hour becomes most desperate?" he demanded.
I crept back under the covers, feeling ashamed. Glorfindel seeing my reaction calmed down a little, before asking, "Was she well?"
Slowly I nodded my head, "Yes she was," thinking a little I added, "You should be proud of her. In the world where she lives, she has become very accomplished."
At my words Glorfindel seemed to soften, and taking a chair he sat down by the bed. "Will you tell me more?"
Sitting up I began to tell Glorfindel about his grandchild.

I looked around me and saw many stars. Kind of like when you go to the country regions, and there are no city lights blocking the shine of the stars. Taking a breath I sat up and realised that I was in the middle of a grassy plain. Standing up I stretched out my limbs like a cat does, looked about. The light of the moon was not much help, and I could make out something coming but what I didn't know. Sitting down I tried to think about how I found my way here. Where was here? The last thing I remembered was backing my car out to go to work and then. - my mind went blank.
The sounds of heavy footsteps where becoming closer, and I could make out a rider coming towards me. Standing up I waved to get their attention.
