******* Chapter 1

Diamond, Liea, Lizzy, Jace, and Aurora were all playing a Lord of the Rings virtual reality game. They had just walked away from another fight with the Orcs when Lizzy decided to take the lead. They all walked into the forest when Diamond realized they were lost.

"Um guys I think we're lost."

"No we're not I know exactly where we are." Lizzy said walking off.

"I think Diamond is right" Aurora said.

"Lizzy you got us lost again!" Liea yelled.

"We're not lost! We're just, uh, misplaced at the moment."(A/N hehe ^^) Lizzy protested.

"That's it! Game over for me." Jace stated taking off her helmet.

When she did she realized she was still in the game and her helmet now lay on the forest floor. "Hey guys, take off your helmets. What do ya see?" Jace said. Everyone remove their helmets and they too noticed they were still in the LOTR world.

*~*~* At the council of Elrond, Frodo stood and placed the ring on the table. They all heard yelling from the forest. "Somebody HELP!" a girl yelled.

"Be quiet Liea! You'll attract Orcs!" another yelled back.

"It's not her fault ya know!" replied another.

"Can't we all just get along?!"

"No!" everyone replied to her.

"I do believe we have visitors" Legolas said as he and a few others prepared for battle. Elrond, Gimli, Haldir, Legolas, Aragorn and the squad of hobbits ran into the forest to find where the voices were coming from.

When they reached the girls they too were ready for a battle. The girls also changed from what they once were to what they now are. Their hair had changed shape or color and their height, ages and what they were wearing had changed also. The men put away their weapons and stood astonished by the beauty of the girls, young and old.

"Who are you? What brings you here?" Elrond asked stepping forward.

A young looking elf stepped forward as well "My name is Liea. Why we are here not even I know" she said in a wise way.

"Who are they?" Aragorn asked.

"The names Diamond" a hobbit said her thumb to her chest. She had green eyes and curly red hair worn down on her shoulders. Her dress looked just like Rosie's but was green instead.

"I'm Elizabeth but you can call me Lizzy" another hobbit said. She had long blond hair pulled into a braid that brought out her brown eyes. She had on a black dress down to her ankles.

"Jace" a blond haired elf said. She had blue eyes and a red dress that goes a little past her ankles with blood red sandals that tied at her ankles.

"I'm Aurora." She was the only human with clay brown eyes and black hair pulled into a bun with metal chopsticks and some bangs left down. Her light blue dress had split sleeves and a V-neck; that went just past her knees.

"And as you all know my name is Liea." an elf said. Her light brown hair was half pulled into a knot behind her head, bringing out her blue eyes. Her blue dress matched them and she had a gold chain around the waist of the dress that went to her knees.

"It is our honor to meet all of the Fellowship of the Ring" Jace said looking at all the men.

"Let me introduce myself" Aragorn said stepping forward.

"There is no need of that." Diamond said.

"Please let us see how well we know you." Liea said. She turned to her far right to see all the hobbits. "Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Peregrin Took, Meriadoc Brandybuck." Liea looked at the others and Jace picked up.

"Legolas Greenleaf, Gimli, Elrond, Gandalf, Haldir, and Aragorn." Jace added proudly. The men stood there impressed at what the two girls just said.

"Come with us" Elrond said as he led them all back to the castle. Upon arrival to the castle, they girls could see the elves, men and women, looking at them in wonder and questioning.

That afternoon Elrond had a ceremony to make the girls official friends of all on the good side. Afterwards there was talk of the five girls and if they would join the Fellowship on their quest or not. That was now up to the men who decided to stay at the castle for about a week to see what these girls may be up to.

The first night was okay, the girls had gone to sleep early from all the excitement. By now Diamond and Pippin had fallen head over heels for each other. Jace and Haldir seemed to be hitting it off along with Aragorn and Aurora.

Legolas had even fallen for Liea but she was not showing him love in return. Legolas was struck when he first saw her. Her beauty and grace were quite appling to him. All day he watched her, like an angel without wings, laughing, dancing, and having a good old time. The thing nobody could see from the outside was her love for him.

It was a quite evening; the sun was setting with a beautiful sunset of yellow, pink and blue. Liea stood on a bridge over a stream near the castle of Rivendell.

"Good day to you m'lady" Legolas said approaching her.

"And a pleasant evening to you as well gentle Legolas" Liea added with a smile.

"The night is still"

"I hope it may remain so..pray, what news from the castle?" Liea asked in a hushed tone.

"None why do you ask?"

"None at all?" Liea sighed still looking into the water "When the news comes you will know." She turned to face him "Good night m'lord." With that she walked off the bridge.

"Goodnight m'lady."

Liea turned to see Legolas bowing his head in her direction. Liea nodded hers in return, then headed to the castle. Legolas sighed then looked into the stream before sighing again.

"Why doesn't she love me? Or does she choose not to let me know how she feels?" His thoughts were broken with a shrill scream coming from the castles direction.
