::disclaimer here::

The man looked up from his book as a thud resounded though his room. Frowning he got up and went to his window.

"Merry! Pippin! I told you! I'm trying to read!"

He was about to go back to his chair when he heard a soft moan and the rustle of bushes. Surprise settled over his features, running a hand through his dark, curly hair he placed his book down and swiftly walked out of the house and around to the back.

Pushing some of the bushes aside he gasped when he saw a girl no a women he corrected himself, lying there as if she was just napping. Her brown hair cascaded down to her upper back, one stray strand crossed a crossed her fair complexion, he frowned when he saw a cut a crossed her cheek.

She's too tall to be a hobbit He thought but she's short for a human.

He blushed as his gaze fell upon naked shoulders and a midriff that was revealed by her shirt ridding up.

"My lady? Arwen an Amin?" he asked as he dropped to his knees. As he got closer he noticed that her brow was furrowed and sweat trickled from her forehead.

I can't just leave her out here he said to himself as he reached over to grip her arms. Turing around he pulled her onto his back, her head lulling onto his shoulder. Hooking his arms under her knees he picked her up. Trudging back to the door he walked to his room and placed her onto to his bed. Placing a sheet over her he fetched a cool cloth and placed it on her brow. Grabbing another damp cloth he began to clean the cut along her cheek.

An older man walked into the room and stopped when he saw the scene in front of him.

"Sorry M'boy didn't know you were busy!" The older man said with a chuckle.

"Oh! Uncle Bilbo!" the younger one replied. "It's not as it seems, I just found her sleeping in the bushes out back and she had a cut across her cheek and wouldn't awaken."

"Frodo, my dear nephew, you have such the kindred heart." Bilbo replied. "When she awakens, invite her to my birthday party" with that he left the room. Frodo sighed and picked up his book again.

Frodo looked up when he heard snickering; blinking his eyes he realized that he had fallen asleep.

"What is she?" inquired on voice. "An Elf?"

"No pip, she doesn't have pointy ears!" whispered the other "I think she's a nymph! You know a nature fairy"

"What she doing in Frodo's bed?" asked a new voice?

"You know you could just ask me these questions" Frodo said causing the boys to jump.

"Ah! Frodo, my dear friend, have you been holding out on us?" Merry asked suggestively. Frodo shook his head and laughed as Merry Pippin and Sam looked at him with peaked interest.

"NO I just found-" Frodo was cut off when a moan was heard from the bed. All four heads turned as the girl in the bed moved a bit, then her eyes fluttered open. She stared up at the ceiling and then slowly got up. As her eyes fell on them she blinked for a second.

Suddenly she screamed, grabbing the sheet she jumped back and pressed her back against the wall. Her eyes searched frantically for an escape, Frodo noticed this and dropped to know knee, signaling the others to do so.

"Arwen an Amin, please do not fret we shall not harm thee." Frodo said in is most polite tone, staring straight into her eyes to prove that he was telling the truth.

"Who…who a-are you?" She asked as she loosened her grip on the sheet.

"Forgive me" Frodo said as he slowly rose to his feet. "My name is Frodo Baggins of the Shire; these are my friends, Samwise Gamgee, Merridock Brandibuck, and Perrigrin Took." Each nodded their head as their name was called.

"And what is the beautiful nymph's name?" Merry asked.

"My name is Kelly O'Donnell" Kelly said as she got out of the bed. Frodo? Sam, Merry, Pippin? Kelly thought frantically what the hell is going on here!? Am I dreaming? Merry took her hand and gently kissed it, Kelly frowned as she realized that the top of Merry's head came to just under her arm pit.

"You are Hobbits right?" Kelly asked as she gently took back her hand.

"That we are" Pippin spoke up.

"But…but…you're so much taller then I would have imagined" Kelly stated.

"My lady" Sam said as he came forward. "We are the normal height for hobbits, Are you really a nymph?" He suddenly asked. A smile crossed Kelly's lips.

"No master Samwise, I am a human"

"But you're short for a human! Gandalf hits his head every time he comes in!" Pippin exclaimed.

"Well, I guess I must just be short!" she laughed. It's amazing how comfortable I feel with them. She thought suddenly. She gasped as her stomach growled loudly, complaining of emptiness.

"Are you hungry my lady?" Frodo asked.

"Just a little" she answered, they all laughed as Frodo motioned for her to follow him. As she sat down at the table she was introduced to Bilbo, Frodo's Uncle. Merry and Pippin left to go and get some ale at the local pub. Sam excused himself soon after saying that he had gardens to tend too.

"What time is it?" Kelly inquired as they ate some toast with jam.

"Just after midday my dear" Bilbo answered. Frodo stood and grabbed his book.

"I'm off to see a friend" Frodo said as he opened the door. "Oh, My Lady? Your bag that you had is next to the bed."

"thank you master Frodo" Kelly said as she sipped her tea. As Frodo left Kelly spit the tea back into the cup. Bilbo looked up startled. "sorry" she said quietly "hot"

Bilbo nodded in understandment and went back to his work.

Whats going on here!? I'm not suppose to feel pain! She thought as she stood from the table. Racing to the bedroom she tried to remember what had happened before he had woke up.

Well karate was cancelled so I went to the waterfall dropoff…and then something happened…what was it!?... a spell…oh my god…the heritage stone!

Grasping the stone in her palm she closed her eyes and felt the power ebbed in its debts.

So all I have to do is make a counter spell? But the spells gotta be complicated and I can't remember the words…Gandalf! He can help! But grandmother said no one could know…DAMNIT! What to do!?

Picking up her black bag she walked into the dinning room to hear a knock on the door.

"quickly! Hide" Bilbo whispered to her and then said loudly to the person at the door "go away we don't want any well wishers, party goers or very distant relatives"

"How about very old friends?" came a muffled voice. Bilbo gasped in surprise and ran to the door, throwing it open he smiled happily shouting "Gandalf" As Biblo stepped out to embrace his friend, Kelly crept to the door and slowly peered around it.

"You haven't aged a day" Gandalf said and then looked up as he felt another presence. His wise old eyes stared into her very soul, she gasped and hid behind the door once more.

"And who is this?" Gandalf said with a smile as he stood. Bilbo looked about and then saw whom Gandalf was speaking of.

"Ah this is Kelly, My dear girl, come out and meet my dear old friend'

Kelly stepped out of the shadow of the door to reveal herself to the wizard. She watched gandalf's expression change to surprise and then back to his happy face again.

He knows! He knows something is wrong with me! Kelly thought as she said her greetings

"uncle Bilbo" Kelly said adopting Frodo;s name for him "Im off to look around I'll see you at sunset" She said as she quickly walked by the men and then down the path. As she got half way down the path she felt Gandalf's eyes on her, determinded to act normal, Kelly kept walking.
