Chp 1 A Heart's Withdrawal

Disclaimer: I do not own LOTR

This is my first attempt at a serious fic. Its told in Flashback by the way, except first part.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I stared at the crying baby in my arm, tears threatening to spill from my eyes. She looked like him, except the hair. She had my hair.

What have I done? When did this nightmare start? Well I guess it was about 9 months ago. When I met him. Those strong eyes and that voice. He did this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Start flashback) (3rd person)

Cassandra Summers was a 18 and wild. Graduation and college had left her mind and she was trapped in that blissful summer between high school hell and college troubles. She was free. It was ironic that she was partying with her classmates before they departed for college, seeing as she wasn't going to college.

The lights of the nightclub blinded her and she stumbled out the exit door and into the alley. She took another swig from her bottle of whiskey. 'It's great breaking the law. Those idiots actually thought I was 21', she thought grinning.

She stumbled into the alleyway ignoring the bright lights heading towards her. She didn't care, alcohol can do that to you. BAM Screams from around her and whispers. She lay on her back staring at the sky. Till there was nothing left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(back to first)

I had the biggest headache imaginable. I whole body ache and my memory was blurry.

I swore to myself that I'd never touch another glass of whiskey again. But that was a lie. I never was good at commitment.

Suddenly I realized I was in a very comfy bed. Too comfy, actually. My cot at my apartment was not anything like this. I opened my eyes and immediately wished I hadn't.

Pain unlike any other swarmed my head and rolled off the bed and fell to the cold floor. I groaned and tried to push myself up. Hangovers were bad and I had to get to my job.

Being a whore was something one didn't want to do but had to. Hey I wasn't a genius or an athlete but I loved guys and they loved me.

I looked up and realized there was someone standing there.

"Agh! It's too early for that!"

"Too early for what milady?" came a deep voice.

Milady? Who says milady?

I looked up to see a tall man standing before me. He was quite handsome with brown hair pulled back into a strange fashion and he had deep brown eyes that showed nothing but concern.

"Cassandra Summers" I muttered.

He understood and responded.

"Lord Elrond"
