Title: Family History

Disclaimer: I do not own LOTR or anything else except the plot Leslie, Shadow Killer, Rai, among other things.

I found myself in a comfortable bed on a small island surrounded by water. There are many trees for shade but not too many. I stared with amazement at the beautiful scenery and found it quite odd to find a bed in an island that has no houses in it whatsoever. However, this was, after all, one of those dreams where I normally see Rai. I was so upset at the fact that I will never see my family again that I forgot that I was even furious at her; I can be very forgetful at times. I sighed in content as I made my way to the ocean water. It was as if I was back on earth and I had gone to see a beach that was completely deserted. I smiled and closed my eyes concentrating on a one-piece swim suite; I never really liked the two-piece. I opened my eyes and saw that I was wearing a blue swim suite with purple flowers. I smiled and went toward the ocean and got in the water and resisted the urge to shout when I realized how cold it was but then I got used to it and let it soak my troubles or at least it felt that way.

"Enjoying yourself?" I heard someone say from behind me. I turned and see Rai and smile politely at her.

"Yes, very much." I said with a smile.

"That's good because now I would like to say that I wasn't the one that took control of your body. It was my twin sister Shadow Eclipse." Rai said as I swam back to shore.

"Shadow Eclipse? Next you're going to tell me that your mothers name is Cloudy Shadow and your fathers name is Dark Shadow." I said and Shadow looked at me confused.

"Yes, but how did you know my parents names?" She asked curiously and I did an anime drop.

"What is it with your family and Shadow?" I asked as I got up.

"They are simply names that the Wargs gave us when we became the royal family. After all we do fight the darkness; me more than anyone else thus the name Shadow Killer. Anyway, my twin is two minutes older than I am and we were born during an eclipse thus giving her the name Shadow Eclipse. How my parents got there names I don't know."

"So Shadow Eclipse took over my body? Why?" I asked trying to start a small conversation as I grabbed a towel to dry off.

"She doesn't find it proper for you to be keeping it a secret from the Fellowship that you are a princess. However, she is really easy to get along with once you get to know her. You have a twin as well; she is the reincarnation of Shadow Eclipse and at the moment is in a pretending to be a male so she can help the soldiers that are loyal to King Théoden." Rai said with a smirk.

"What? Doesn't having a twin mean being born in the same day with the same mother?" I asked.

"Actually, you were born in a different dimension so if she had been born in the same dimension you two would have been twins. Her name is Denise and not to long ago did she realize that she was the reincarnation of Shadow Eclipse. So just like you her physical appearance is changing and she looksalmost like you as well." Rai said with a smile.

"So I could have had the chance to have a twin but didn't because we were born in different dimension? COOL!" I always wondered what it was like being having a twin. However, maybe I wouldn't wonder so much if I had asked the twins of Rivendell… Oh well.

"You don't seem that upset about Shadow Eclipse taking over your body…" Rai said.

"Well, at first I was upset but then I had this dream about how my parents would react if I were to go home looking like I do now." I said looking down.

"I'm sorry. I never gave it much thought of how your family would react to what you have become. It must be really hard on you being so young and all." Rai said giving me comfort by hugging me gently.

"I guess its ok…" I said sadly.

"Now you want to learn how to teleport?" Rai asked.

"Teleport? Just how many powers do you have!" I asked in shock.

"You will see when your training is complete. Now let's get started! First you have to picture the place you want to be in your mind but you can't go to a place that you have never been before." Rai said and I closed my eyes as I pictured being back in the water. I suddenly felt myself falling and I opened my eyes long enough to see the water coming closer.

"ACK!" I said as I landed in the water. My head popped out of the water as I gasped for breath and I saw Rai laughing at me. I glared at her as I walked out of the water, which by then she was rolling in the beach sand.

"Oh shut up!" I muttered as I imagined mys elf dry not having the patients to use a towel like before.

"HA-HA-HA Guess you need to work on your landing!" Rai said as she got up still laughing.

"Nah' ya think?" I said with lots of sarcasm.

"Anyway, that's it! You now know how to teleport. You just have to work on your landing." Rai said.

"That's it? You're not going to tell me how to end up on the ground and not in the air?" I asked and she shrugged.

"I never got that far. For some reason I was never able to teleport myself on the ground so I, just like you, always ended up in the air. Don't worry, after a while you start landing on your feet and not your arse." Rai said.

"Arse? Don't you mean 'ass'?" I asked.

"You're not old enough to hear someone say 'ass' where did you learn that word anyway?" Rai said and I looked at her as if she were insane.

"I'm fourteen and am going to become fifteen in December! The students in my school say it all the time!" I half shouted.

"Do you say any bad language?" Rai asked me.

"When I'm mad enough. My friends are always surprised when I do use bad language." I said confused.

"Well, YOU BETTER STAY THAT WAY! IN ADDITION, NO MORE SAYING 'ASS' FROM NOW ON YOU SAY ARSE!" Rai said creeping me out. Maybe if I walk away slowly she wont notice me leaving as she laughs in an evil like way…

"Where are you going?" She asked noticing me walking away slowly. Crud.

"I think I will go ahead and wake up now…" I said as I began to fade but…

"Ok… MWAHAHAHAHA!" She said just as I disappeared. I don't think I will be willing to see her any time soon…

I wake up with a very confused/scared face as I think about what just happened.

'Everyone is asleep…' I thought as I looked around and realized that Legolas wasn't in the group of sleeping people.

'I wonder where he is, probably keeping watch. Which eliminates the 'leaving at night when everyone is asleep plan'…' I thought bitterly.

"I wonder how my cat at home is." I said out loud by accident drawing Legolas attention.

"Cat?"

"Yes, cat. He is normally very hyperactive and attacks anything whether it moves or not he doesn't care. However, he is so cute when he attacks something! Though normally it's my foot cause he is so short…" I smiling happily, as I remembered the first time I saw him. He was so cute and less than a month old! I started to giggle at the memories of what I did to earn his trust.

"Sounds like you really care about this cat." Legolas said from the tree he was sitting in.

"His name was Hissyfit. And of course I cared about him! Who wouldn't care for a white cat with blue eyes and a pink nose with pink paws? Oh! Just thinking about him makes me want to hug him!" I said remembering how loud he would purr when I pet him and then sighed in content.

"He made life seem so simple. All he asked was some food and water and in return he gave my family and me lots and lots of love… and a few scratches here and there." I said with a small smile.

"He scratched you?" He asked as he looked down at me.

"Yup, I even have the scars in my hands to prove it." I said pointing at a small scar in my wrist. The part of the wrist where most people cut to try to commit suicide so most people thought that I had tried to kill myself until I explained that I didn't. Legolas started to stutter a little as he came down and looked at me. I blinked confused then realized that I was still wearing the bathing suit; I laughed then closed my eyes imagining some clothing on. I opened my eyes and was wearing a sweatshirt that looked the same as the bathing suit. Blue with purple flowers and sweat pants that are decorated in the same fashion as the sweatshirt.

"That better?" I asked and he nodded numbly. After a minute or two, he recovered from the shock.

"How do you do that?"

"Change clothes? I just close my eyes and imagine myself wearing something I want and then when I open my eyes I find myself wearing the clothes I was imagining myself in. It's easy once you get used to it but it does take a bit of energy and concentration…Hey! These are the most comfortable clothes I've chosen to wear so far!" I said looking at my new clothes with a smile.

Oh sure, I'm smiling on the outside but in the inside I am still pretty hurt about the family thing. I have always been this way; hiding my sadness behind a smile. So far, I tend to convince people that I'm the kind of girl that doesn't have many problems in her life. Truth is my life aint so easy and I'm not talking about the Shadow Killer thing, I'm talking about the countless time I was scolded by my mother for making a small mistake or leaving a speck of dust on the table. She always wanted everything to be perfect and it always made me mad that she hasn't realized that no one is perfect. Many times, I have thought about running away but I always reasoned with myself saying that I was too young and still depended on my mom for things like food and clothes.

While I was thinking about this stuff, I failed to notice the tears in my eyes. Faintly I remember what Shadow Killer had told me when I was still getting used to the fox ears but I wasn't paying attention at the time.

Flashback

"I'm afraid that with the ears you will not be so easily accepted in your world so I went to your world, hid your new ears, so I erased you from the existence in your family and friends minds. I'm sorry but there was no choice you would draw to much attention. You can still visit them but you can only see them if you change your appearance. It's the only way you will ever see you family up close but if you don't want to change your appearance then you will just have to stay from afar!" Shadow Killer said.

End Flashback

Wow, how I managed to ignore such a long paragraph I will never know…

"You been very quiet today." I heard Boromir say snapping me out of thought.

"Eh?" I said still in a daze. Then I realized that we had started walking toward Lothlórien and everyone was staring at me as we walked. Strange, I don't remember starting to walk then noticed Legolas next to me. He must have made sure that I didn't get away from the group while I was lost in thought. I should try not to get lost in thought again. Damn I did it again…

"Oh, sorry I was just thinking." I answered when I realized that they were expecting an answer.

"You can think?" Boromir asked pretending as if this shocked him.

"Shut it Bor." I said not in the mood to argue.

"What were you thinking about, lass?" Gimli asked and I blinked confused. Since when does Gimli talk to me?

"Oh, nothing special. Just…nothing." I said not wanting to really say.

"Well this nothing must be bad if it made you cry…" Pippin and Merry said together looking at me with concern.

"I was crying? And didn't know it?" I asked shocked. I could smell tears on my own cheeks. Smell? When was the last time I let my nose do the work? Oh yeah, just before I started to change…

Fk306: This is chapter 11! I never thought I would get this far, I am so proud of myself and of Bucky for being so mean to me and telling me to stop the story!

Bucky: Why would you be proud of me for that?

Fk306: You were using reverse psychology. You knew that the more you told me to stop the more I would want to continue! Thank you!

Bucky: Reverse psychology my ass! Ha! I can say ass but Leslie can't ha-ha!

Leslie: Shut it! It's not like I even say that word often anyway so what should I care.

Fk306: She has a point. Anyway, Michael Jackson Fan I'm glad you liked it. Tryoku16 Leslie made you cry. She made me cry too and I was the one that made her that way.

Leslie: You made me make me cry! Fk306 how could you? You know that I am not supposed to be a crybaby and yet you are making me cry.

Fk306: Actually, since I made you to have most of my personality that means that you do cry often but you hate to see others see you crying because you think of it, as a weakness or you will when you get your tail.

Leslie: I talk too much? I knew that I thought a lot but talk too much?

Fk306: Well sometimes you do talk too much but most of the time you think too much.

Bucky: Are you two forgetting about me?

Leslie and Fk306: Yes.

Leslie: Well, Tryoku is talking mainly about me.

Bucky: Grr. Why no one ever talks about me?

Fk306: Aww, don't worry Bucky I still love you. Of course, I love all cats but you're my favorite annoying mean cat.

Bucky: Purr.

Leslie: Are you purring?

Bucky: Shut up!

Fk306: Anyway, while Bucky and Leslie argue with each other please read and review.
