Summary: About how two girls lives changed for the better after being dropped into middle earth.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything LOTR related. I only own Rin, her family and Steph, well actually Steph owns herself…or at least she thinks she does…LMAO!

Authors Note: Yay another chapter up! Aren't yall proud of me? I'm on a roll man!

also,I forgot to answer a review in my last chapter so I will do so now:

fandun: You are very right, I just thought, you know I don't know what I thought lol. That was just how I planned everything out I guess. I'm sorry lol. Eomer would prefer to bring Rin himself for whatever reason, and I guess that the journey to Edoras would have been too much for her, but that doesn't make sense either right? Gosh this is hard to explain. How about we just go along with it ok? PLEASE! LOL As for Lothiriel, well I guess it didn't work out between them? LoL. Again, I'm sorry, I had planned everything out and didn't even remember the map :oS, I'm dumb. Let's just ignore the obvious stupidities of this author ok?

Chapter 7

RIN's POV (Kinda like a journal)

We traveled for three days, only stopping to eat and to rest. Luckily for me I had two men, an elf and a dwarf who knew how to hunt. I have to say rabbit was very interesting. Our travels so far had gone quite smoothly. The only time there were problems, was when Gimli kept falling off the horse and Legolas had to turn around. I of course nearly fell of myself from laughing at the scene.

I became very close with all four of the men. They were my only friends here and the only people I trusted. Aragorn was so fatherly when he spoke to me but still kept his distance. He was always there with advice when I needed it though.

Legolas was always there to make me think, laugh and to piss me off, it was fun being around him and he was a lot like me sometimes, it was scary. Oh, and did I forget to mention for an elf he could be very annoying.

And then there was Gimli, my campfire buddy. We often told stories and laughed at the stupidest things, he was very curious of my world and when I told him dwarves did not exist on earth he nearly passed out. When I spoke of Earth all usually listened in and seemed shocked that so much violence and corruption existed in one place.

"What you have to understand about my world is that my people don't stop to think about anything. They just do whatever they want. I was not raised in Ottawa my whole life so I am not like them. I was raised in a little town, therefore I grew up knowing to use my morals and brain."

Legolas gave yet another disgusted look. "I am glad that does not exist here. And I am also glad you came to Middle Earth, away from such evil. I would rather walk into Mordor unarmed than visit your land." I laughed at this and nearly fell of the horse again but Eomer caught me and replaced me securely.

"Thanks Eomer." I said smiling; he nodded in response and kept his gaze ahead.

"Elf boy, it's not all bad I assure you and you learn to live with it. Like most things in life…" my thoughts drifted slightly but shook my head and came back to reality.

"Anyway, when will we arrive in Rivendell, I don't know how much longer my rear can take being on a horse?" Aragorn laughed. " We will stop for the night near the forest and we will set out promptly at dawn. We should arrive by sunset, it is not much further from there." He said as our soon to be camp came into view.

Eomer helped me off the horse and set me down beside him. He had been quiet today and it kinda worried me, maybe he was getting sick or something?

"Eomer, are you ok? You've been really quiet." I said placing my hand on his arm. He looked at me and smiled. "I am well Rin, I suppose I am just tired from the ride." My heart broke. I was the reason he was tired. Normally he would be fine, he was accustomed to riding like this but with me it was different. I woke up from my nightmares and he'd stay up with me until I fell asleep, I always told him to leave me be and go back to sleep, but he would never allow it.

"Oh Eomer, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I will sleep with Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli tonight so you can rest without being disturbed." I said. I didn't give him time to protest, I merely gave him a hug and went to prepare for bed.

While the others prepared their bedrolls, Aragorn came over and sat beside me. "Perhaps Lord Elrond will have some answers to the questions that haunt your mind."

I glanced at him skeptically, "And how would you know what haunts my mind Aragorn?"

"I do not, but I know you awaken every night, frightened out of your wits that it takes Eomer to calm you." Aragorn stared at me seriously and his gazed bore into my own, I looked away unable to handle it.

"Nothing haunts me Aragorn, I simply do not sleep well. So I would advise you to keep your worries to your own, I do not merit them."

Aragorn shook his head and continued, not acknowledging he ever heard me. "Do not worry my little one. You will find what you seek. You have your friends behind you and we will gladly do anything for you. Just because we have only known each other a short time it does not mean you have not made a place in our hearts." I looked at him and smiled as tears filled my eyes.

"Thank you Aragorn for yet again more meaningful and wise advice. You all mean a lot to me." I hugged him softly and then pulled away and smiled.

"We should get to bed, we must arise early tomorrow." he said and placed his hand upon my shoulder and then retreated to his spot by the fire.

I sat by the fire a little bit longer while the others slept. I couldn't sleep no matter how hard I tried. Too many things occupied my mind. I looked around me, at my friends, these men I had grown to care for so much in just less than a week. My eyes stopped on Eomer. 'I don't want to get too close to any of them; I don't want to put them in danger. What if 'He' finds me and goes after Eomer or the others? I could not stand to loose any of my friends.' I grew even more frustrated as I stared into the fire.

'How is it I wished for years and nothing ever came true and now suddenly I make a wish and BAM! I land here?' I got up and walked away from the fire, far enough away for privacy. I did not notice someone had heard me and watched while I left.

I stood in the close by open field and stared at the clear night sky. All I could feel was anger towards it.

"Why? Why couldn't you have brought me here when 'He' was in my life! Why couldn't you save me then? You could have saved me from the pain that haunts me now?" My shouting subsided to a desperate and pleading whisper as I slid down to my knees. "Why couldn't you save me from the beatings and the fear?" I sat in the grass and cried.

I felt arms wrap around me as I cried and jumped then looked behind me frightened of what might be there. My clear hazel green eyes locked with two silver blue ones and relief flooded my body. " Legolas." I whispered and hugged him tightly.

He lifted me up and carried me back to the camp. "Its not fair Legolas" was all I could manage to say without crying again. He held me tighter and whispered something in Elvish to me.

"Seere nya raakina elen ancalima. Lya varna."

It sounded almost song-like and I suddenly felt tired; he carried me to Eomer and placed me in his arms. "I found her over there." he said and pointed toward the direction I had been.

"She has much pain in her heart and even more fear in her mind, but she will sleep peacefully tonight by the grace of the Eldar." Legolas said and walked away. The last thing I remembered was Eomer placing me under a blanket and covering me up, then sleep overcame me.

A/N - Seere nya raakina elen ancalima. Lya varna. means: Rest my star light-giver. You are safe.
