(Hello people. This is my first attempt at an LOTR fanfic, so try to be nice. Belinda )

Full summary: When Lilly Edenson's life goes haywire, and she tries to commit suicide, she finds herself in Middle Earth. She's not too happy about it though. (Warning: Suicide attempts, bad history, SH)

REWRITTEN

A blue Mustang sped along a dirt road, leaving clouds of dust behind it. The driver, 17 year old Lilly Edenson, impatiently tucked a strand of her long red hair into her scrunchie, stepping on the brake. She parked the car on the grassy field near Summertime Cliffs. Opening the door, she swung her legs out; brushing off her faded blue jeans. She stood and reached into her pocket, pulling out a folded up piece of paper. Unfolding it, she placed it on the dashboard of her car. She knew what that paper said as well as if it had been engraved into her heart. It said the exact same thing that Elsie's note had said, a year to the day earlier:

"I can't take it any longer. There is only one way to get away from this life, and I am now taking it. Remember me, Love Lilly"

Lilly closed the door of the car and walked the few short steps to the edge of the cliff where she and her twin sister had had many long talks and happy moments. She looked down and found that below, sharp rocks threatened to catch her in their hard grasp. She took in a deep breath, closed her eyes, and stepped forward, off the edge of the cliff. Keeping her eyes closed tightly, she waited for her bitter end against the rocks. To her surprise, she landed, not against rocks with a thud, as she expected, but with a splash, into water.

Confused, Lilly opened her eyes. There wasn't any water within miles of Summertime Cliffs, so where was she?

"Dammit" she sputtered, swimming to the shore "I have no luck at all, even cliffs hate me now." she muttered, wringing water out of her blue sweater.

"Can I help you Miss?" Startled, Lilly whirled around and found a pair of blue eyes looking into her own green eyes. She looked the person who had startled her over.

'He's an Elf!" she noted to herself in surprise, eyes flickering over the Elf's ears. "Not unless you have a knife I can borrow," she told him "I'm not having much luck with cliffs today" she pulled the scrunchie out of her hair, red hair tumbling around her shoulders. Legolas was confused, but handed her a knife from a sheath at his waist. "Thank You" she told him sweetly. She pressed the blade to her finger gently. A line of blood appeared and she smiled, putting the knife to her chest

"What are you doing?" Legolas asked sharply

"Killing myself" she informed him "Have a good day" she raised the knife and slammed it down towards her chest. Before it could so much as nick her, Legolas grabbed her wrist

"Oh no, you're not" he informed her. Lilly sighed, exasperated

"Dammit!" she snapped, "Why does everyone want to stop me?" Legolas sighed and took the knife away from her

"You speak as from experience. How many times have you tried to kill yourself?" he asked her, watching her closely

"4 times" she replied crossly, eyeing the knife in his hand

"What is your name?" Legolas asked, sheathing the knife that she watched so closely.

"Lilly Edenson. What's yours?"

"I'm Legolas Greenleaf. Why do you want to kill yourself?" Lilly opened her mouth to reply, but instead, intook a sharp breath, putting a hand to her back as in pain. "Lilly?" Legolas asked, concerned.

"I'm fin..." she fainted, eyes fluttering closed. He picked her up, and could see her back, which was drenched with blood. Quickly, he ran with her in his arms back to Elrond's house. Elrond met him in the hallway

"What happened to her?" he asked with concern. Legolas shook his head

"I don't know. We were just talking when, all of a sudden, she collapsed." Elrond nodded gravely.

"Follow me" he walked down the hallway, into a small room with a bed in it. Legolas followed him, laying Lilly down on the bed, then exited, leaving Elrond to heal her.

Lilly awoke to voices above her. Too tired to even open her eyes, she just lay there, listening.

"She had bruises all over her body, some minor scratches on her arms and legs, and a long gash in her stomach like a knife wound" Lilly's mind went numb, reminded of the knife wound and what it had done to her.

"What about her back?" Legolas voice asked from above her, concern lacing his tone of voice.

"It looks like someone took a whip to her" the other voice, one she didn't recognize explained. Her body went numb as her mind succumbed to the total blackness that began to envelop her.

Lilly woke, staring up at the ceiling. She wiggled her fingers and toes, moving her arms and legs to check if anything was broken. Finding she was able to move everything, she took a good look around at her surroundings. Warmth rushed into her body as she remembered. She was safe!

"Nice to see you awake" a voice from her side remarked. She glanced over to see Legolas sitting on a chair at her side. "What happened to you?" he asked.

Lilly found her mouth forming the usual reply. "I fell out of a tree" The words slipped out of her mouth before she could stop herself. Legolas rolled his eyes

"And the tree had a knife...and a whip?" he asked, almost smugly. Lilly blushed a deep red

"Sorry...It's a habit" she explained as the door burst open. Another redhead raced in, skidding to a halt right before Lilly's bedside.

"Lilly? Is it really you?" the girl asked in disbelief

"Elsie?" Lilly asked in shock. The girl nodded in confirmation, and the two embraced, tears of joy on both faces.

"I never thought I would see you again" the two chimed together. Legolas took a good look at the two and determined them to be twins. He slipped out of the room, leaving the two girls to catch up.

"You poor, poor thing" Elsie put a comforting arm around her sobbing twin's shoulder.

"Can we keep this between us, at least for now?" Lilly asked, playing with a piece of her hair "I don't think I'm ready for anyone else to know about this right now" she explained between her tears. Elsie nodded, catching her twin's identical emerald green eyes in understanding.

There was a tap at the door to Lilly's room.

"Come in" Elsie called out. The door swung open and a man with dark hair stood framed in the doorway. He quickly surveyed the sad scene before him. Both girls sat on the bed, Lilly with tears still rolling down her cheeks, Elsie's arm around her.

"If this is a bad time for you, I can come back later" he said. Lilly wiped the tears from her cheeks as Elsie stood up.

"No, it' s okay" She walked over to the man. "Estel, this is my twin sister, Lilly" he smiled at the redhead, who was still sitting on the bed. "Lilly, this is Estel, also called Aragorn, also called Strider..."

"I get the picture sis." Lilly broke in with a small smile on her face. Aragorn glanced from one girl to the other. He could find absolutely no difference, except for the fact that Lilly's green eyes were red and puffy from crying a few moments earlier, and they were wearing different outfits.

"What did you want Estel?" Elsie asked Aragorn curiously, looking at him once more.

"I wanted to tell you two that Elrond is holding a feast tonight in honor of one of his guests, a Mr. Frodo Baggins. He said that if Lilly felt up to it, the two of you are invited to attend."

"What day is it?" Lilly asked suddenly, a thought coming to her mind.

"October 24th" the twins smiled "Why?"

"It's our birthday," they chorused, and Lilly looked at her twin

"I don't think I'm ready to go to a feast and face a whole lot of people. You should go Elsie, have some fun, I just need some time to think" Lilly assured her twin who nodded

"If you need anything, come and find me" Elsie whispered to her sister, giving her a quick hug before leaving. Lilly smiled as Elsie left, but it soon faded from her face as she went to go sit on the windowsill.

Later, downstairs in the Great Hall

"Where's Lilly?" Legolas asked Elsie across the table, who sighed

"She's upstairs in her room. She didn't feel like coming tonight, said she needed some time to think." Legolas nodded and stood, going to find Lilly
