The Spirit Elf
* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ The sun shone through the window of the room, falling on the girl that lay sleeping on the bed. All at once, she smiled. She was home. * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
The girl's eyes opened slowly, then widened suddenly as she took in her surroundings. The room was completely different from that which she had fallen asleep in. None of her posessions were here, nothing at all to remember them by. Her family. *Maybe it's just as well. Maybe here I can forget.* Her face contorted at the thought of those who she had left behind. At least one she would not miss at all, not after what he had done... The others, her grandfather, her aunts and uncles, her sister and her best friend... They would be missed.
"~Welcome to Imladris, Jessie. I am Lord Elrond. We here have been long awaiting your arrival.~" She whirled around to see a man standing beside the bed. He glanced at her face and saw her expression of shock. "~We believe we know why and how you arrived here, but we shall wait until you are ready to hear it. The clothes you were wearing, should you wish for them, are over there, and there are several dresses in the wardrobe should you wish them. My daughter Arwen will be in soon to help you and show you around Imladris.~" She blinked, and said,
"~How is it that I can understand you when... I have never heard the language before...?~" The way she looked when realising that she not only could understand it, but speak it as well, was a mixture of shock and hesitation. The Elf Lord smiled.
"~It is because you are now Elven kind, I will explain it all later. Now the time is not correct, the knowledge would only serve to confuse you more.~"
"~Could you at least explain what you mean? From what I can remember, Elves are two feet tall and wear red and green.~" He laughed and walked over to the mirror.
"~Come here child. Look at yourself, see if there is anything different.~" She got out of bed, looked in the mirror and gasped. She did look different. Her hair was the same, just at her waist, red-gold but it was straighter. Her eyes were still that same shade of violet blue, purple but at the same time quite a bit of blue. Her features seemed more delicate, and when she saw her ears, she gasped again. Where once they had had the rounded tip of mortal kind, they now had pointed tips. She was startled out of her observations by a knock at the door. Turning to find Lord Elrond gone, she called,
"~Come in.~" It was another Elf, this time female. She had long black hair and grey-blue eyes.
"~Good morn, I hope my atar{Father} did not worry you too much. I am Arwen Undomiel of Imladris, how are you?~"
"~I'm fine, just in a bit of shock. My name is Jessica, also known as Jessie, I'm guessing you already know how I got here, even though I don't.~" Arwen laughed.
"~Of course not! Atar would not tell me a thing about you except that you are an Elf from very far away!~" Jessie raised an eyebrow.
"~Oh am I now? As far as I knew before, Elves were two feet tall and wore bright red and green. I can't really remember much else...~" *Yeah right... But there's no way I'm telling anybody here...* Arwen had been looking in the wardrobe and now she held a dress out to Jessie.
"~Go put this on and we will go meet my brothers. They wanted to meet you very badly, it was they and their friend Glorfindel who found you in the wood, you know.~"
"~A dress? Do I really have to wear it?~"
"~Yes.~" Jessie threw a mock glare towards Arwen, took the dress and went behind a screen put in a corner of the room. A moment later, she came out wearing the Elven dress. It was green, which set of her golden red hair well, and it went down to her feet. The sleeves fit well around the shoulders and flared out around the wrists. Arwen grabbed her hand.
"~You can wear your shoes if you want, they go well with that dress. Come, you shall meet my brothers.~" ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A/N : I decided to change the story a bit. I didn't really like the way it was going, but it's not going to change a whole lot. Expect quite a bit more detail though. And I'm back at school now!!! Grade seven is SO cool:D Believe it or not, I might actually like it this year. Reference for dialogue, etc.:between *these* are thoughts, between "these" is English/Westron, between "~these~" is Elvish, and between "*these*" is thought-speak (think Galadriel).
Random thought: My spell checker is going crazy. It somehow managed to change "Sauron" to "serene". Crazy, I tell you!!
