Title: Lost
Disclaimer: I do not own LOTR or anything else except for myself, Hushy, Swift Runner, and Shadow Killer.
"Oh not again! I don't even remember going to sleep!" I said out loud upset. I was back in the dream except that now it was completely white and I couldn't see a thing at all, only completely white.
"If I am so much like you, Rai, then does that mean you hate white also? Why did this place have to be white?" I asked no one in particular and pretending to cry.
"Ha-ha! Yes, I hate white, but by the looks of it, not as much as you." Rai said appearing right in front of me.
"GYA! Don't do that!" I said, hey you would get freaked out too if some pair of yellow eyes appeared in front of you. But Rai just started to laugh.
"I'm sorry, I will try to refrain myself from scaring you." She said but I could tell that she was lying and was finding amusement in this.
"You're going to continue doing that aren't you?" I asked sarcastically.
"Why, yes, yes I am. It can make you stronger so you won't be in shock during battle." Rai stated.
"And who said I wanted to be prepared for battle? Heck I don't even want to battle!" I said frantically.
"You have no choice. You are my reincarnation and thus I will not allow you to go without learning to fight. Plus, its in your destiny that you fight in battle." Rai said smiling mischievously.
"Oh great. Fine, I will do it but I won't like it." I muttered.
"Good. Because I am just as stubborn as you are. Ok, now let's begin…" Rai said and we began. First I needed to learn how to empty my mind which was hard because I tend to day dream all the time. But then I started to get this dazed look and Rai brought me back to reality…or as real as a dream can get at least, by dumping water in my head.
"That was very good. It looked like you had done that before." Rai said happy with the progress.
"Um, that's because I always do that when I am talking to my friends. They ignore that and continue to talk though…" I stated.
"If you have done this before why did it take you so long to learn it right now?" Rai asked curious.
"Um, would it help if I said I never even knew I was doing that?" I asked curiously.
"A little, now it is time for you to wake up. Swift Runner will also help you now and then since he was my best friend in the past during the Last Alliance. He was the commander as well as the leader of the Wargs that still fight in battle to this day." Rai stated as she began to fade.
I wake up with a start in one of the beds in the healing place where I woke up the first time in Rivendell.
"What am I doing here! I'm not even injured or sick!" I said and jumped out of the bed before I collapsed and got a wave of dizziness.
'Actually you did get sick. In fact, you fainted in front of me. What happened?' Swift Runner asked curiously.
'Yes what did happen?' I heard Hushy say.
'I am not sure. One minute I was talking to Swift Runner about being able to talk to others through my mind and the next I was with Shadow Killer training how to empty my mind.' I stated then held my head tightly.
"Are you alright? You had us worried when we found you on the ground with a warg over you. We didn't manage to kill the warg; it ran off before the soldiers could come. You had quite a fever and the cause of it is most likely that you were sleeping outside. Elladan told me you told him that you had found yourself sleeping outside." Elrond stated. By now I was used to knowing who was talking before I even saw who it was.
'You were attacked?' I asked Swift Runner.
'Only a scratch, nothing else.' He answered and I sighed in relief. I wonder when I started to become friends with him…
"I'm fine Lord Elrond, how bad was my fever?" I asked wondering how bad it was since this was the first time that I fainted because of a fever.
"It was very high and you were knocked out for two days. Now I suggest you lay back down." Elrond said trying to get me to lay down by pushing me, of course, he underestimated me cause he had to use a little more force than he expected.
'Yes Father!' I thought sarcastically.
"Can I just go back to my room and rest there?" I asked not wanting to spend any time in this dreadfully white room... And me being me; wasn't really planning to rest when I got to my room. This might explain why Elrond insisted that I have an escort to take me to my room. That and he probably didn't want me to faint on the way. Honestly, he should learn to trust me more, but then he barely knows me, so it was probably cause he either went into my mind or he can tell what im thinking by the expressions in my face that he knew I wasn't going to rest. Or maybe Patricia told him what I am like… I don't know all I know is that Elrond gave me an escort who I decided would be my target in either A) confusing him or B) annoying him. Or maybe both…hmmm.
"What's your name?" I asked as we walked.
"Erundur." He said simply and I frowned.
"You don't talk much do you?"
"I only talk when I want too."
"Ok… So how old are you?"
"2306."
"That's old in my world… I'm 14! This must make me a child in your eyes." I said and then their was an uncomfortable silence.
"Here is your new room; your bag has already been brought." Erundur said.
"Thanks, Eru!" I said giving him a nickname; he froze for a second then shrugged it off and left.
'I think im going to get along with Erundur… What do you think Hushy?' I asked curiously.
'Maybe you with him but not him with you.' Hushy stated. I laughed happily and jumped out the window.
'Miss me?' I asked Hushy who had been right outside my window.
'That is not a wise move. You should be in bed.'
'Don't become my mother Hushy!'
'I'm only worried for your well being.'
'Yeah, yeah! So is Elrond but you don't see Brit and Pat worrying me. I'm going to go see Swift Runner to see how bad the 'Scratch' I will be back later, Scouts honor!' I said and ran toward the forest not knowing that I was being followed by a certain elf. I'm not saying who just yet.
'Ch! Like I am a scout?' I thought mentally. I smiled as I slowed into a normal walk looking around. I frowned when I noticed a terrible smell.
"Ew. That smell is awful! And this coming from a girl that has trouble breathing in the night?" I grimaced as I held my nose tightly. I then heard a voice that scared the petunias out of me.
"I smell man flesh." Yup that is about what I suppose the voice said. Not exactly something I wanted to hear but at least I now know that I can understand them. When did I bring my bag?
'Swift Runner?' I asked timidly.
'Yes?'
'Do you know anything that can actually smell the flesh of a human and has an awful language that I can just barely understand and smells terrible?'
'An orc. Why?'
'Oh just wondering, I just have a feeling that I am about to meet the very first orc of my life and I have nothing to defend myself except my bag that is full of books and clothes and my friendship bracelet. Do you have any suggestions to what I do?'
'Yes, sneak away from them quietly and if they spot you? Run as fast as you can!'
'Yes capitan! Though that isn't exactly supportive…' I thought and started to walk away as quietly as possible.
'I will be with you as soon as possible!'
'I find it incredibly grateful that I can talk to you through my mind…' I said extremely grateful for that fact. I continued to sneak but bumped into someone. I opened my eyes scared of what I may see and relaxed slightly when I saw Erundur. He is about to tell me something but I put my finger to my lips signaling him to be quiet. He nods and we start to walk back toward Rivendell. To bad I tripped and landed with a loud 'thud' I looked at Erundur who was helping me up and opened my mouth to let one word come out.
"RUN!" I shouted and the both of us started to run as fast as possible. During the process of running I didn't notice Erundur running in a different direction until it was too late and we accidentally split up. Sadly, I had no time to look for him cause after a few minutes I was being chased again.
"Swift Runner! Where are you!" I shouted as tears started to cloud my vision. I then stop when I notice that there are no longer any footsteps chasing me and look around. I was in the middle of the forest and had no idea where or how to get back to Rivendell.
'Swift Runner? Can you hear me?' I asked but no response came.
'Hushy?' Once again no response.
'Can't anybody hear me through the mind! I would talk out loud but I don't want the orcs to find me!' I thought loudly. I wipe away my tears and start to walk around holding my bracelet that says 'forever' on it in blue with a blue pearl rose under the word. It was heart shaped and it looked as if it had been melted slightly. Which it was since I broke it and started to cry in school, thankfully no one saw except one of my teachers who fixed it up for me, which explains why it looks slightly melted on top of the heart shape. After a bit I got tired and climbed up a tree where I felt safest. I started to sing softly it started as a whisper at first but grew stronger.
"Heigh ho, do you know
The names of the U.S. residents
Who then became the presidents
And got a view from the White House loo
Of Pennsylvania Avenue?
George Washington was the first, you see
He once chopped down a cherry tree
President number two would be
John Adams and then number three
Tom Jefferson stayed up to write
The Declaration late at night
So he and his wife had a great big fight
And she made him sleep on the couch all night
James Madison never had a son
And he fought the War of 1812
James Monroe's colossal nose
Was bigger than Pinocchio's
John Quincy Adams was number six
And it's Andrew Jackson's butt he kicks
So Jackson learns to play politics
Next time he's the one that the country picks
Martin Van Buren, number eight
For a one-term shot as Chief of State
William Harrison, how do you praise?
That guy was dead in thirty days
John Tyler, he liked country folk
And after him came President Polk
Zachary Taylor liked to smoke
His breath killed friends whenever he spoke
Eighteen fifty, really nifty
Millard Fillmore's in
Young and fierce was Franklin Pierce
The man without a chin
Follows next a period spannin'
Four long years with James Buchanan
Then the South starts shootin' cannon
And we've got a civil war
A war, a war down south in Dixie
Up to bat comes old Abe Lincoln
There's a guy who's really thinkin'
Kept the United States from shrinkin'
Saved the ship of state from sinkin'
Andrew Johnson's next
He had some slight defects
Congress each
Would impeach
And so the country now elects
Ulysses Simpson Grant
Who would scream and rave and rant
While drinking whiskey
Although risky
'Cause he'd spill it on his pants
It's eighteen seventy-seven
And the Democrats would gloat
But they're all amazed when Rutherford Hayes
Wins by just one vote
James Garfield, someone really hated
'Cause he was assassinated
Chester Arthur gets instated
Four years later, he was traded
For Grover Cleveland, really fat
Elected twice as a Democrat
Then Benjamin Harrison; after that
It's William McKinley up to bat
Teddy Roosevelt charged up San Juan Hill
And President Taft, he got the bill
In 1913 Woodrow
Wil...
...son takes us into World War One
Warren Harding next in line
It's Calvin Coolidge; he does fine
And then in nineteen twenty-nine
The market crashes, and we find
Warren Harding, he does fine
It's Calvin Coolidge next in line
And then in nineteen twenty-nine
The market crashes, and we find
It's Herbert Hoover's big debut
He gets the blame and loses to
Franklin Roosevelt, president who
Helped us win in World War Two
Harry Truman, weird little human
Serves two terms and when he's done
It's Eisenhower who's got the power
From fifty-three to sixty-one
John Kennedy had Camelot
Then Lyndon Johnson took his spot
Richard Nixon, he gets caught
And Gerald Ford fell down a lot
John F. Kennedy, he gets shot
So Lyndon Johnson takes his spot
Richard Nixon, he gets caught
And Gerald Ford fell down a lot
Jimmy Carter liked campaign trips
And Ronald Reagan's speeches' scripts
All came from famous movie clips
And President Bush said "read my lips"
Now in Washington D.C.
There's Democrats and the G.O.P.
But the ones in charge are plain to see
The Clintons, Bill and Hillary
Now in Washington D.C.
There's Democrats and the G.O.P.
But the one in charge is plain to see
It's Clinton, first name Hillary
The next President to lead the way
Well, it just might be yourself one day
Then the press'll distort everything you say
So jump in your plane and fly away"
Yes, I sang the Animaniacs song called The Presidents. What? I happened to like the Animaniacs! And at least it made me feel better, a little… I hope nobody heard me. I would hate to become part of the menu for the orcs. I sigh as I drift off to a dreamful dream, for once actually hoping that I will see Shadow Killer, or should I say 'Rai?' The last thought that goes through my head is: I hope Patricia and Brittany are alright and not too worried…
