Chapter 9: Enter Jayna

Elladan was falling back first down the never ending dark void. He heard someone screaming, only to discover it was him. After falling what seemed like forever he managed to flip himself over to his belly only to see nothing but the brown coloring of what looked like the ground rushing to meet him. Not sure exactly what he could do to prevent the inevitable crash he did the only thing he could do. He closed his eyes and raised his arms to protect his head from the ground, though he doubted it would do much good.

The ground was coming closer and closer and closer until finally……

THUD!

And then he stopped. Am I dead? Elladan asked himself. Once his brain registered the fact that he was no longer moving through the air, feeling the wind against his face, feeling the weight of his armor hastening his descent. His father's sword had long left him whether he dropped it while in the battle field or let it go during the fall and it was now somewhere near him, he didn't know.

Elladan slowly opened his eyes. Seeing first the floor he was now laying on, then the soft blue white light of the moon filtering through the curtains, that were dancing lightly in the night air in front of his open window. His eyes traveled around this new, yet so familiar place, landed on one of the wood legs of….

My night stand? Taking in a closer look he realized he was back in his room in Rivendell, on the floor beside his bead.He tried to sit up but something was wrapped tightly around his legs, he could barely move them. Looking down he saw his slightly sweat damp sheets tangled up and around his legs. It was then everything clicked. It was all a dream, a really really bad dream.

Elladan released a sigh he didn't know he was holding. He untangled his legs from the damp sheets and leaned back and rested his head on the mattress on the bed behind him. He closed his eyes as he tried to recall the memories of his latest nightmare. So lost in thought was he that he was startled when a knock sounded at the door connecting to his brother's room.

"Elladan are you alright?" Elrohir's voice was slightly muffled by the door between them.

"You can come in 'Ro."

Elrohir opened the door and entered, but to Elladan's surprise not alone. Behind Elrohir was their father, still dressed in his night clothes.

"We heard you yelling ion nin. Is anything the matter?" asked Elrond in concern at hearing his child scream out in the night.

"Why were you in Elrohir's room?" asked Elladan

"Your other door was locked." Elrond unlocked the door and opened it to revel a blonde elf and dark haired man fell into the room, obviously listening through the door. Both quickly stood up and straitened up, behind them a small bell rang. Elladan looked to see a small white head with two different colored eyes poke in the room through the door.

Elladan smiled and opened his arms inviting the cat to come to him, "Come here Two-toned." he sad gently. The cat happily went to her master. Elladan looked to all that had gathered in his room. He stood up and bowed apologetically, "I'm sorry for waking you unnecessarily. It was only a nightmare nothing to worry about."

Elrond's furrowed his brow "What sort of nightmare?"

Elladan thought for a few minutes, but could remember nothing except the fact that he was falling down a hole and when he hit the ground he woke up. "I don't remember now. I'm sure it was nothing, though. So if you don't mind it's still late, and I would like to get back to bed before the sun rises." Elladan ushered everyone out of the room.

Elrond turned to talk to eldest before he left him, "Elladan, perhaps you should keep the cat with you for tonight." Elladan looked to his father in confusion, "Trust me when I say she'll keep the night terrors away" he chuckled as he kissed his son's forehead. "Good night my son." and with that he left.

Elladan shut the door behind them, and smiled, "That means you to, Elrohir."

Elrohir stepped out from the shadow he had been standing in. "Are you sure. You sounded really distressed about something in those dreams."

Elladan passed his brother on the way to his bed and sat down on the side. "As I said before 'Ro I don't remember anything about the dream except how it ended."

Elrohir studied his brother trying to see if there was any lie in his eyes, no luck. "What happened?"

Elladan was stroking the cat, "I was falling down a dark hole. I could feel the wind rushing past my face. After a while I managed to flip myself over, only to be greeted with the sight of my floor below me." Elladan took a deep breath and released it trying to calm his senses, which were still reeling with the realness of the dream, " I then hit the ground and woke up here." he motioned to his room.

"But you screamed, Elladan, and you were yelling in your sleep." Elrohir's voice trembled at the memory.

He had awoken upon hearing Elladan scream. Thinking something had happened he rushed to his brother's room sword in hand to fight the cause of his twin's scream.

Throwing open the door between the two rooms, he saw his brother tossing and turning in his sleep. His sleep glazed eyes looking around madly at something in his dreams. Elrohir put down his sword and ran to Elladan's side. Elrohir shook him, trying to pull him back from the world of dreams. After a minute or two, he wasn't sure, Elladan quieted down.

Elrohir breathed a sigh of relief thinking that if his brother wasn't waking then at least his dream was changing. Elrohir was about to go back to his room when Elladan started to mumble in his sleep.

He's talking to someone. Thought Elrohir, he smiled at the sight if his brother just happy that his sleep was no longer troubled. He went back to his room and shut the door between them. He was about to back to his bed. When he heard him.

"ANSWER ME!!!"

At that Elrohir ran from his room to get his father.

"And you know the rest." Elrohir finished his tale to Elladan.

Elladan shook his head and gave his twin an odd look Elrohir couldn't read. "You were worried over a dream?" Elrohir looked at the floor beneath his feet. "It's all right 'Ro. It's nice to know someone cares." Elladan stood to put his now cool sheets back on the bed. "But for now I think I'll be fine. So go back to bed and when I finish here I will go to sleep, and we will see each other in the morning." Elrohir took the hint and left.

Elladan looked at his now made bed and the cat that was sleeping on his pillow. Stifling a yawn Elladan pulled back the covers to lie down and removed the bell from around his cat's neck. Two-toned abandoned her spot on the pillow for him. After adjusting the covers to the way he liked them and finding a comfortable position on his side facing the door to the hall the white cat curled up at his feet. The silence of the night once again fell over Imladris as all it's occupants found their way into peaceful dreams.

Elladan awoke the next morning to the birds singing outside his window. A light cool breeze entered his room through the open window. His eyes unglazed from sleep, he blinked and rubbed his eyes a couple of times to clear them. It was then he noticed there was more weight on his bed, that didn't belong to him or the cat that slept at his feet.

"Good Morning Elladan." said a cheerful voice

Elladan stopped rubbing his eyes and looked at the still semi blurry being at the foot of his bed. Elladan jumped out of bed in surprise at someone unknown suddenly in his room. He stared at the person on his bed. It was a girl no older than eight or ten years of age with long bushy white hair tied in pigtails by pink and purple ribbons. She wore a long white child's dress that had a pink sash tied around her waist.

It was the girl that broke the silence, "Um… Elladan do you not like me anymore? You've never acted this way before." a pout started to form at her light rosebud lips.

Elladan came out of shock his mind was in, he didn't know what she was talking about. He spoke in the common tongue for her understanding, "I'm sorry little one, but I don't believe I know you." He saw the tears that had started to form in her eyes.

Her eyes? Elladan knelt next to her beside the bed and examined the tear filled eyes. They were two different colors. One an emerald green and the other a dark blue. He examined her further, moving the white hair out of the way he found two round ears on the side of her head. Elladan was baffled he had never seen a human like this one.

"What's wrong?" asked the girl

Elladan stared at her, "Oh… um…I apologize for staring. It's just I've never seen anyone like you before. Where are you from little one?"

The girl thought for while, "I can't pronounce the name, but I know my clan's name." the tears in her eyes were gone now. "It's called the…the carokaye. No, the car… core…" Elladan laughed at the girl's now wrinkled face as she tried to properly pronounce the name of her clan, "Karokye." [pronounced Care -o- kye]

"Karokye?" Elladan had never heard of it.

The girl nodded her head, "Yes, the Karokye. I came with some others from my clan, but I don't know where they are. Elladan, can you help me find them?"

"Of course, little one." a smile spread across her face, "but first, obviously you know my name, but I do not know yours."

The girl let a sigh of relief, "Oh good. I was hoping you would ask instead of calling me that horrible name. Two-toned indeed."

"Excuse me, but Two-toned is the name of my cat."

"I know. So I'm telling you my real name. It's Jayna."

"Well Jayna, it's a pleasure to meet you, and I don't mean to be rude, but if you could wait outside while I dressed. I will take you to breakfast and I will help you there."

"Why? You never made me leave before."

That it Elladan was now officially confused "I'm sorry. You speak as if we've met before, but who are you?"

Jayna laughed and rolled onto her back, "Silly Elladan. I'm your cat. The one you called Two-toned."

Elladan thought he misheard. His cat? No the human child before him could not possibly be his cat, and yet he felt that she wasn't lying.

Jayna jumped off the bed and turned to face Elladan, "Here, I'll show you." and with that she closed her eyes and spread her arms out beside her. Elladan watched in amazement as he saw he change shape. Her ears became pointed and moved to the top of her head. Her body became smaller as the dress seemingly sunk into the skin and was immediately replaced by white fur. He hair grew out of the ribbons and snaked down her back clinging to the pink flesh along the way. Elladan's stomach turned as he heard joints snap and shift and bones grind together. A long white tail snaked out from just above her bottom. He watched as the eyes became smaller and the round pupils became slits. Her pink human nose became rosier and smaller as her snout began to grow out and form. Little fangs poked out from her lips that had curled back into her mouth leaving only a little furry line. Soon Elladan was staring at the white cat he had taken in only a week before. He was speechless and watched as Jayna reversed the process to become human only this time it was a lot quicker almost in the blink of an eye.

"What do you think?"

Elladan blinked a couple of times, "H.. How… did you…w… with…and ….?" Elladan stuttered and stumbled through his response, not sure of exactly what he should say.

Jayna rolled her eyes, "Haven't you ever seen a werecat before?" Elladan shook his head, not trusting his voice, "Oh, well that's what I am. A werecat."

"A werecat, but your kind don't exist. They were said to have died out thousands of years ago." a knock sounded at the twin's door. "Yes?"

Elrohir's voice filtered through the door, "Elladan, it's time for breakfast. Ada said Gandolf would be there and if were late…"

"Yes, I know 'Ro." Elladan looked at the girl in front of him, "Hide." The door opened up only a second later.

Elrohir entered. " 'Dan what are you doing? Quit playing with the cat, we need to leave soon if we're to be on time."

Elladan down looked at the white cat near his knees. "Sorry, 'Ro. I guess I was up too late last night. Go on without me I promise I'll be there soon."

Elrohir left Elladan and headed down to the dinning room leaving Elladan alone with the werecat. Turning to face her he said, "We'll talk about this later, but right now I need to get ready to head down stares." The cat that was now human, "So outside." Elladan opened the door for her. Jayna sighed and walked out.

A/N: Okay that was another bad chapter. I'll try to do better I promise. I need help on ideas I don't like the middle I've come up with so I'll be taking ideas. I promise to give you credit if I use your ideas.

To any who have read this chapter befor this repost sorry about the other one, It had a lot of typo's. Gandolf is the one at breakfast not Gondola that was my computer's falt for fixing what it thought to be typos using the spell check.
