Title: Somethings Need To Change.
Rating: Pg - May turn into Pg-13 in the future
Pairings: Haldir/OC
Summary: Kelly Bruno has the perfect life..well almost. Her schoollife rocks, she has friends, perfect grades, heck, she even has perfect looks. But her home life is exactly the opposite. What would happen if she gets thrown into ME?
Disclaimer: I do not own Lord of the Rings. I own no one and nothing except for Kelly Bruno and a few minor characters.
Reveiwers Corner:
R E Rakel: I'm glad you thought it was good. Actually I hadn't even thought about Ryan to be honest, but that is a very good idea, and I am going to do that. I can't believe I didn't think about that!! Well Haldir is in this chapter, not much, but he is in it! Lol. Oh and don't worry, its going to take them sometime to get to even like each let alone fall in love. I'm trying to make this as realistic as I can and not have them fall in love the minute they see each other if you know what I mean. Oh yeah, that was accident (about the exclamation marks and periods) I tend to write a lot very late like at 3am, since I work so sometimes my brain isn't fully functional. But I will correct that. Thanks again.
Loveroflegolas: Thank you!
Soccer-Bitch: Thanks and here's your update.
Untouchable1400: Yeah, I have noticed that a couple of the reviews wanted more Ryan, or was worried about him. I had originally thought about putting him in ME, but as I made my plot outlines I found out it would complicate a lot of the things I wanted to add. So I had to forget that idea. However I will be flipping back to earth every now and again so you can see what happening to him.
Dreagon-fire: Hehe. Well as to the question about whether this is in her mind or not...that my friend is something that you are going to have to try and figure out for your self! I can't tell you yet, sorry. But you will find out soon enough. I apologize for the spelling! Oh don't worry, I can assure you that wont fall in love in five minutes. Yeah, I was aware of their feelings towards humans, thanks for reminding me. And Haldir is going to be against them, as you'll soon see. As I said before, I wasn't actually going to add anymore Ryan for awhile, but you guys changed my mind quite quickly about that!!
THANK YOU ALL FOR REVIEWING!!!!!!!
Oh and because I do not want to butcher the Elvish language, when you see these "[]' that means they are speaking in elvish!
Chapter Three
Kelly groaned as she woke up to the sound of birds. She didn't want to wake up. She had a headache, and for once she just wanted to sleep in past 6 am. But like usual, Kelly decided to force herself awake. Slowly she opened her eyes. As she got out of her bed, she realized that this wasn't her room. Kelly frowned as she tried to remember what happened last.
She remembered going to the mall with Ryan and Jaina, then she remembered the man grabbing her of all people and putting a gun to her head. Then everything was black. Kelly groaned again as her head began to throb. She didn't understand how she had gotten into this room, unless the police had come and arrested the man...Kelly shook her head slightly.
First thing was first, she had to get out of this weird looking room. She slowly walked towards the door, trying not to 'disturb' her headache anymore. As she walked through the doorway what she saw made her gasp. She had to be at least four flights of stairs..in some sort of tree house. Kelly looked around with wide eyes and realized there were tons, of more tree house things.
"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore Tutu." She murmured to no one unparticular. Kelly drew in long steady breaths. She was really high. She wasn't afraid of heights..but this was HIGH! And there was nothing to protect her..not even a railing.
Kelly began to take a step backward, but suddenly stopped when she felt something pointy lodge itself into her back. She stiffened as she slowly turned around. For the second time that day Kelly gasped. She didn't know what she had expected to see, but certainly not this. Standing before her, holding her at arrow point, was an elf. And not any elf..it was Haldir. She felt like asking for his autograph, but decided against it when she took a second glance at his facial expression, which was anything but nice.
[Who are you? Friend or Foe?] He asked in a strange language.
Kelly just frowned. She had no idea what he just said. She guessed it was Elvish, but that little bit of knowledge did her little good. "Excuse me?"
[I said who are you? Friend or Foe?] Haldir repeated, a bit hesitantly this time. When he saw Kellys bewildered expression he frowned slightly and tried a different tract. "Do you not speak elvish?" He asked in English.
Kelly shook her head. "No, only English."
Haldir raised an eyebrow, but didn't lower his bow. He tried his question again, but this time in Enlish. "Who are you? And where do you hail from?" He asked with a tone that demanded respect.
Kelly swallowed a bit as her mind began to race. She knew she couldn't say she was from Earth, that would be ubsurb..well to them anyway. "My name is Kelly Bruno..and I hail from..from Gondor."
Haldir raised an eyebrow as he lowered his bow and arrow ever so slightly. "Gondor? What business brings you to Lorien, human?" he asked.
Kelly's mouth dropped open. SHE was in LORIEN?! As in Lord of the Rings Lorien. "Lorien!? This is Lorien?!" She exclaimed.
It was obviously not the answer Haldir was looking for, for he raised his bow right away. Kelly raised her hands up in surrender. "Whoa whoa! Please calm down sir. I did not mean to offend you in any way." Kelly said as her mind began to make up a story so to try and calm the elf down. "Listen, its like this. I was riding from the White City on my house Algo, and there was a frightful storm. We were delayed for several days, and I lost all sense of direction. I was on my way to Rivendell, to speak to the Lord Elrond. I guess at one point I must have fallen asleep on my horse, for I woke up in that room. How I got in there, I have no idea." She said quickly, praying that the elf would believe her.
Haldir stood stiff for a few moments, trying to figure out whether she was telling the truth or not. If she was lying, she was doing a very good job of it. Haldir sighed as he slowly lowered his bow. He would take her to the Lady. If she was lying, the Lady would know.
"My name is Haldir. I am the Marchwarden of Lorien." Haldir said in the same tone. "I do not know if you speak the truth, but I will take you to the Lady of the Wood, she will give me further instructions."
Kelly nodded. It was the best she could have hoped for. At least he didn't shoot her right away. With a soft sigh Kelly began to follow Haldir as he made his way through the outskirts of Lorien.
Haldirs Point of View
Haldir lead the way. He didn't know what to make of the girl behind of him. He was confused how a young girl such as her could make her way all the way from Gondor. But she didn't seem like an outlander. She knew all the names and stuff that only a Gondorian would know.
Haldir shook his head slightly. It wasn't very often the March Warden was confused. He didn't like that feeling, not one bit. Haldir glanced behind him, and saw that Kelly was begining to lag behind, so he slowed his quick pace. Humans. How pathitic. They had been walking for an hour or more, he was surprised the girl had made it this far. The path to the city wasn't exactly easy. There were hills, tree trunks, and rivers to cross.
Finally though, after two hours of trekking the forest they made it to their destination. Haldir stopped and turned around to study the girl. He could tell she was exhausted, though she was doing her best to hide it.
"You will wait here. I'll let the Lady know we are here." Haldir said. Without waiting for her reply he turned and walked into a large room where Galadriel was already waiting.
[My Lady.] Haldir said as he bowed down.
Galadrial smiled and nodded at him. [Good Morning March Warden. What brings you here?] she asked.
Haldir knew she already knew about the girl, but decided to humor her. Besides, no one argued with the Lady. [I found a girl in one of the talens near the border. She is not an elf, but a human. She says she hails from Gondor, yet I do not know whether she is telling the thuth, or a well conceived lie.]
Galadriel nodded slowly. [Very well then, bring her in.]
Haldir nodded and walked out. He found Kelly sitting on the ground messing around with a blade of grass. "The Lady will see you now." He said.
Kelly stood up and swallowed. There was no hiding how nervous she was. She had read and seen the lady in the Lord of the Rings movies and books, and she was very nervous.
Haldir of course noticed this. "If you speak the truth, there is nothing to be afraid of." He said coldly before turning around and reentering the room.
Kellys point of View
Kelly stared after Haldir for a few moments. She was amazed he had touched her, let alone spoke to her without giving a command. She shrugged it off quickly though and followed him into the room. In the middle of the room stood Galadriel. She looked just like Cate Blanchett. Yes even more beautiful than Kelly remembered.
Galadriel nodded her head in Haldir's direction, dismissing him silently. She then turned to the slightly frightened girl who stood in front of her.
"What is your name, and where do you hail from, child?" She asked.
Kelly blinked. "uh..oh. My name is Kelly Bruno, and I hail from Gondor." She replied as smoothly as possible.
Galadriel showed no facial expression, but she knew the girl was lying. Not about her name, just where she hailed from. Slowly Galadriel reached in Kellys mind, and looked around.
Kelly blinked as she felt a strange presence in the back of her mind. She knew it was probably Galadriel..but it still freaked her out. Kelly took deep breaths, trying to relax. Suddenly the presence was gone, and Galadriel began to speak.
"You, Kelly Bruno are from another place..another planet even. Someplace called..Earth." Galadriel began.
Kelly's mouth dropped open. "How did you...How did I get here?"
Galadriel raised her hand for silence then continuing. "That I do not know. You were not brought her on accident, but for a reason. You know of our futures. And you are going to have to choose."
Kelly frowned. "Choose what?"
"Choose what you want to change.." Galadriel said. "You have come in Dark Times. There will be many tradegys. You have been brought here to change one, and only one tradegy. If it be a death, a misleading figure, or nothing, will be up to you."
Kelly closed her eyes. Great. Now what the heck was she going to choose. Laot of things were going to happen. She opened her eyes. "But how will I know when the time has come for me too choose?"
Galadriel smiled slightly. "You will know, when the time comes. Until then however, you will stay in Lorien. You will be taught how to use a bow and arrow, along with a sword. You will also be taught how to ride a horse.." Galadriel paused. "And one more thing child. What ever you do, you are not to tell anyone about this. As far as anyone else is concerned, you are Kelly Bruno of Gondor. Do you understand?"
Kelly nodded solemnly.
"Very well. I will have Haldir escort you to your new room. You will stay there until further notice." Haldir walked into the room right at the moment and motioned for Kelly to follow him. She did so without a word.
Kelly followed Haldir around the city, trying to get a feel for it. She loved the way everything was layed out. The way the 'talens' were and everything. She wished she could stya here forever. Kelly chuckled. Maybe she could.
Kelly looked up and found Haldir looking at her a little weird before he turned and pointed to a ladder that led up one of the trees. "This is going to be your room. Can you get up there by yourself?"
Kelly raised an eyebrow. What did he think she was? A child? Of course she could get up there by herself. Duh. And she did. When she got at the top she looked down and saw that haldir hadn't moved. "Aren't you coming?" She asked.
Haldir shook his head. "No. I have other duties I must attend to. You will stay in your talen until the Lady says otherwise. Meals and such will be brought to you." And without another word he turned around and walked away.
Kelly's mouth dropped open. What a brat. He could have been at least a little more nice then that. She sighed. He wasn't anything like she had hoped for. Oh well. She had only been here for a couple hours. Kelly shook her head and walked into her new room. She didn't even bother to look around, she just headed straight for the bed, or what ever it was. She was dead tired.
ON EARTH
Ryan gasped along with everyone else when he saw his sister slump against the man who was holding her. The man looked more surprised than anyone, but rolled his eyes and murmured something about women. He turned around and noticed that lady that he had told to get the jewelry was just standing there. He lifted Kelly up and cocked his gun.
"Don't get any ideas! Just because she's fainted doesn't mean I cant kill her!! Now get the stuff...MOVE!" He bellowed.
The lady did as she was told, and gather as many pieces of jewlery she could possibly fit into the large canvas bag. When she was done she glared at the man as she handed it over. The man took the bag greedily, then turned and ran out of the store, leaving Kelly to fall face first onto the floor with a sickening thud.
As soon as the man had gone Ryan ran over to Kelly and knelt beside her. He gently rolled her over and nearly fainted him self when he saw a deep gash on her forehead from her fall. He gently wiped away some of the blood with his hand. "Kelly?" he whispered softly. "Kelly...are you alright? Wake up..please wake up Kelly...I need you.."
Jaina knelt down beside Ryan and checked Kelly's pulse. She frowned then checked her breathing. Jaina swallowed when she realized that Kelly wasn't breathing at all. She looked up at all the concerned faces and pointed to one of the men. "Do you know CPR?" She asked. The man shook his head sadly. Jaina looked around. "Does ANYONE know CPR!?" She yelled. After a moment of silence a young man about 18 walked over. He turned to one of his friends and told them to call 911 then knelt beside Jaina.
"I know CPR, My name is Jack." He said. Jaina nodded and without a word they began administering CPR to Kelly. Jaina breathed in her mouth as Jack pumped her chest.
Ryan was still kneeling silently beside Jaina. He had begun to cry softly as he realized his only sister might die. He didn't think he could live without her. Especially with his mother. He shook his head as he decided not to think about that possibility. She was going to live. She had to live.
Jaina nearly cried with relief when she head Kelly cough and begin to breathe on her own. It was short shallow breaths, but at least she was breathing. Jaina looked up as she heard the sirens of an ambulance and police cars.
A policeman walked up to Jack and began to speak to him softly. When he was finished Jack nodded and turned to Ryan. "We need to move. The paramedics need room to work on your friend."
Ryan shook his head. He didn't want to leave his sisters side. Jack sighed and stood up and genlty but firmly grbbed Ryan and pulled over to the side. Ryan began to struggle, but stopped when he noticed that Jaina was following without a word.
Ryan looked at his sister and saw that they already had her on a stretcher and were putting a mask on her to help her breath. Then they began to load her into the ambulance. At this point Ryan began to struggle more. He looked up at Jack who was still holding him.
"Let me go, I have to go with her!"
Jack sighed but shook his head. "I cant. They won't let you see her for an hour. Then you can go, but right now you have to let them work."
Ryan heard the ambulance doors shut and began to go hysterical screaming and crying that he needed to be with his sister, and asking Kelly to come back. Everyone in the store had tears in their eyes, even some of the men.
Ryan watched with tear-blurred vision as the ambulance that held his sister disappeared.
A/N: Well I hoped you guys enjoyed that. It took me awhile to figure out what I was going to do for the shop, since I hadn't planned that earlier. But for all of you that were worried about Ryan, don't worry, they will be more of him, this I promise!
Well until next time, please REVIEW!!
Thanks
Naire
