Chapter One
"I really hate these stupid plug things." I mumbled to myself as I tried to plug in her hair dryer. I felt a weird tingly feeling, noticing I touched the metal part, before I fell to the ground.
"That's it! I'm never using a hair dryer again." I said holding my head. Opening my eyes I realized I wasn't in my bathroom. "HOLY shit! Where am I?" No one was around as far as I could see. I was in the middle of a forest it seemed, deep in it for that matter. "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore Em...." I said to myself walking around.
Hearing a noise, I turned quickly around. "Oh please don't let it be a bear or a cougar or anything else that would try to eat me..." I said freaking out more than before. Where the hell was I? I never saw any forests like this in Indiana. I heard the noise again. "Oh come on I wanna go home now... if this is a dream, WAKE ME UP!"
"My lady..." I heard a voice behind me say making me scream. "Sorry to frighten you."
Hoping it wasn't a mass murdering freak, I turned around. To my relief, it was a young looking man with blonde hair and pointed ears. "Er... Hi... Can you maybe tell me where I am?"
"Why, Mirkwood, of course." The young man laughed.
"Uh.. Right. And that would be...?" I said wondering why he was so amused. This guy was weird. I mean, sure he wasn't hard on the eyes, but his personality was... odd. Plus, who has ears like that?
"Are you lost my lady?" the man said looking me up and down. I still had my pajamas on.
"Lost, drunk, asleep. Who knows... " I said looking around trying to figure everything out. "The last thing I remember was I was trying to plug in my stupid sheet cake of a hair dryer and I got zapped or something.. Then I woke up in the middle of this place."
I had confused the man I guess, because he stared at me strangely. "So yeah.. If you could just show me how to get home, I'd really like that."
"Where do you live?" he asked, still trying to figure me out.
"Indianapolis."
"Where is that country?" He asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Country? It's a city... you know the capital of Indiana... in the United States of America..." I said. Really what's with this guy. Where is that country... Wow he must have flunked a few grades....
"I do not know of where you speak."
"Great. I get woodland boy to find me and not even know where Indiana is. Special." I said sitting on the ground annoyed.
"Excuse me, but my name is not 'woodland boy'. My name is Legolas. And for your information, I am the prince of Mirkwood." he said to me rolling his eyes.
"Okay then... Prince Legolas, tell me what country or state or world I'm on, since Indiana doesn't register with you."
"Middle Earth." He said walking closer to me."What is your name?"
"Emily, and where?" Middle Earth? What the frick is Middle Earth? I thought the middle of the earth was the core of boiling hot lava.
"You know not what Middle Earth is? How long have you been out here My lady? You must have heat stroke." Legolas said coming closer to me.
"Yeah no I don't. Sorry, but nice try. Play again." I said backing away. Geeze what was this dude's problem?
