OK now I know I said that The Mortal Elven Child would be my last fic, but that story didn't go over well with the crowd...not many people liked it. If you have a complaint about that, mention it in your review and I'll see what I can do. But I've decided to do something different with this story...but not so different. I know this sort of story has been done a lot, but I think I have an original idea as to WHY it happened. I've decided to do the opposite of what most other people do. I'm also planning on writing a parody and at the moment that is as far as my planning is going.

I'm not thinking of writing any more fics after this one and the parody. I might just finish some of my UNfinished ones. This is kinda written on a whim so it probably wont be very good, just like all my other fics. I'm hoping this one will be good, just so I can finish it without worrying about people putting stupid chatsites up so they can talk about how bad my fic was...ahem...anyways...If anyone is wondering I got the names from theres a lot of names on there! Cross your fingers and pray to God that this fanfic will be a hit! btw, I'm just going to say what age they would be in human years even though they're elves, just because I had some problems with that fact in my last fic.

Disclaimer: If you recognize 'em, I dont own 'em!

Morwen and Caladwen. Dark and Light. For the name Morwen means dark, and the name Caladwen means light. However that was not how it was. These identical elven twins were exact opposites. However it's not how one might think. Where most would think that Morwen was "evil" and Caladwen angelic, it is not. Morwen radiated pure innocence, whereas Caladwen was cold hearted and mean. At a very young age their parents, Prince Legolas, and Princess Faelwen of Mirkwood, noticed this and decided to seperate them, because if they didn't Morwen would be in great danger. They decided it would be safest to keep Caladwen with them, so they could supervise her and keep her from hurting others. They consulted the Grey Pilgrim, and he gave them an incantation to send Morwen to a place of safety. They said good-bye to their 1-year-old daughter and said the incantation, sending her to a place called Earth.

................................................................................................................................................................................................... 15-year-old Kori had grown up in an orphanage, not knowing any family as she watched her friends come and go, with theirs. She sat in a window and watched her best friend leave with her new family, feeling a mixture of anger, loneliness, and neglect. As she watched the street a car pulled up and a couple got out with a young girl in their arms. Her eyes followed them as they entered the building then she went back to watching the cars go by.

"Kori! Come here please!" a voice called half an hour later. She stood up and walked down the hallway towards the office of the caretaker and general "mother" of the orphanage.

"You called, Liv?" Kori asked as she leaned on the door frame with her hands in her pockets.

"Yes. This is Alexandra, and she was just dropped off. I want you to take care of her. I have work to do and I don't have time to get her settled. You know what to do, right?" Olivia asked.

"No prob!" Kori said making an "OK" sign with her fingers before walking over to the small girl sitting in the chair. "Hi! I'm Kori. Do you want to come play with me?" she asked her. At a nod from Alexandra she took her hand and led her to one of the bedrooms. She knocked on the door and a girl who looked to be around the age of 14 opened the door. She had shoulder length sand coloured hair which was pulled into a low ponytail at the bottom of her neck, and a newspaper boy's cap on her head. She was wearing a tight black tank top and baggy, ragged jeans. She opened the door with a look of excitement on her face but when she saw Kori she slouched down and said: "What do you want?"

"Well, Natalie, I wanted to know if you would mind having a roomate?" Kori replied.

"Gimme age, girl! Gimme an age and I'll tell you whether or not I want a roomate." Natalie said stubbornly.

"Fine." Kori replied and she closed the door in front of her. She turned around and bent down so she was eye level with Alexandra.

"Alexandra, how old are you?" Kori asked.

"This many." Alexandra said as she held up 4 fingers.

"Thanks!" Kori replied with a smile. She stood up and opened the door to Natalie's room.

"Well?" Natalie asked.

"4. She's 4 years old." Kori replied with a nod.

"4?!...um...why not?" Natalie answered "So where is this kid?"

"Right here." Kori said "This is Alexandra. She's new, and you get to show her around now!" Kori said with a smile. Natalie looked at her like she was crazy.

"Are you insane!? I can't show her around now! I'm busy! I cant get her settled in here, but not now. You show her around then bring her back her later." Natalie said as she closed the door.

"Kori, do people not like me here?" Alexandra asked sadly.

"Of course they like you! Why would you say that?" Kori asked as she bent down to be at eye level with her.

"Because she yelled and slammed the door. That happens when people dont like you." Alexandra replied.

"You know what? Why don't we go play dress-up or something? I have a lot of old clothes in my room we could use. What do you say?" Kori asked. At this a large grin spread across Alexandra's face and she nodded enthusiasticly. Kori lead Alexandra to her room where they played dress-up for the rest of the afternoon.

Dinner was an unusually loud meal because everybody wanted to introduce themselves to Alexandra. And that took quite a long time because there were many kids in the orphanage. Many pushy, loud kids at that. But once the introductions had finished the meal went rather quietly. As Kori got up to leave the table Olivia said:

"Kori, I'd like to see you in my office when everyone's finished eating dinner, alright?"

"No prob, Liv." Kori replied.

When everyone had left the dinner table Kori made her way down the hallway to Olivia's office. As she was walking down the hallway a door opened to her right and a couple of guys made their way out of it.

"Well if it isn't Goody good, Kori!" One of the guys said, enthusiastically jumping on the chance to tease her. And she had to admit, she was somewhat of a goody good. Her appearance showed that too. She was wearing a collared shirt underneath a long sleeved green shirt and loose jeans and sneakers. Her poker straight chesnut hair came to her shoulder blades and was always either in a ponytail or loose, down her back.

"Where are you going? Going to surprise Liv and clean her office?" one of the boys sneered.

"As a matter of fact, it's not your business so I'd suggest you guys go find someone else to bug." Kori said as she walked quickly past them. They just laughed and watched her walk down to Olivia's office and knock on the door.

"Come in." Kori heard from the office. She opened the door and walked in.

"Please, sit down, Kori." Olivia said. She sounded somewhat sad and was looking at something that looked like a jewellery box.

"Liv? You okay?" Kori asked as she sat slowly down in a chair in front of Olivia's desk.

"Yeah. It's just...I don't really know how to say this, but, well...Your parents sent you here. They loved you very much and they told me through a letter I've long lost, that they wanted you to come home when you were nearing you 16th birthday. As I'm sure everyone here knows, that's next week. So I've decided that you're ready. Here." Olivia said as she handed the jewellery box to Kori. She opened it and found a necklace. It had a thin delicate chain made of a fine white metal with a pendant that was a green leaf lined with silver and had silver veins running through it. In the middle of the leaf was a small silver star with a white gem in the middle.

"Oh my gosh! It's beautiful, Liv! Where did you get this?" Kori asked in wonder. Where would Olivia get the money for this?!

"I didn't buy it. It was a gift from your parents. Put it on. Go home Kori. But first, come here." Olivia said. There were tears in her eyes. Kori stood up and walked around the desk. Olivia stood up and pulled her into a warm, loving hug.

"I'm going to miss you so much, Kori! You've been such a help to me, you have no idea! I hope you like your family." Olivia whispered through her tears into Kori's ear. She pulled away from Kori but kept her hands resting firmly on her shoulders. "Go back to your room and grab anything you want to take with you." Kori nodded and left the room in a state of shock. She walked back to her room and grabbed the one thing of major importance to her: her stuffed penguin. It had been with her through thick and thin. She couldn't remember not having it. She grabbed it and walked back to Olivia's office.

"I'm ready to go home now. How am I getting there?" Kori asked.

"By putting on the necklace. It will take you home. If you'd like you could also close your eyes, click your heels three times, and say 'there's no place like home, there's no place like home' as well." Olivia said with a smile. Kori laughed.

"I'll miss you, Liv." Kori said as the tears began to well up in her eyes.

"Back at you, girl. Are you ready?" Olivia asked. Kori nodded as the tears began to fall. She closed her eys as Olivia picked up the necklace and reached around Kori's neck to do up the clasp. They were both crying openly and Kori hugged her penguin tightly. As soon as Olivia had the clasp closed Kori could feel the world moving around her. She could hear Olivia cry: "Good-bye Kori! I'll miss you!" quietly as if she was moving quickly away from her. Before Kori could reply she felt the world stop moving. She opened her eyes and found herself standing in the middle of a long stone corridor. She looked around and saw doors on the sides and torches burning in brackets.

"Excuse me miss? May I help you?" She heard a voice behind her ask. She turned around and saw a boy with long blonde hair wearing a tunic and leggings.

"Caladwen?" The boy asked curiously when he saw her face. "What are you wearing!?"

"Caladwen? I'm not Caladwen. What are you talking about?" Kori replied.

"Stop lying. I'm going take you to adar. He can deal with you." The boy said as he turned around and started walking down the hallway. Kori figured she might as well follow him. He lead her to a study where a tall man with long blonde hair sat behind a desk. He looked up when they walked in.

"Adar, Caladwen is walking around dressed strangely and denies being Caladwen." the boy said before the man could say anything. He looked at Kori and asked: "Is this true Caladwen?"

"I'm not Caladwen! Please stop saying that I am!" Kori cried angrily. "Look, I've just been told that wearing this necklace would take me home, and it brought me here so I'd like to know what's going on!" Kori cried holding up the pendant around her neck. The boy next to her leaned in to look at the pendant. The man however stood up and walked over to her. He held the pendant in his hand and examined it closely. Then he lifted up Kori's chin and looked into her eyes. His eyes widened in amazement and began to well up with tears. He pulled Kori into a hug and stroked her hair muttering "Morwen...Morwen..." repeatedly.

well theres chapter one for you. I hope you like it more than my other chappies.
