A/N: I've rewritten it. Review, or updates will not granted.
Prologue: Arrival
Please don't ask me how I got here, I have no idea. I don't care either. I'm very happy to be camping out in Eregion with four rangers. They have always seemed a bit wary of me, though. I can't say I blame them.
The last thing I remember is going to school on Monday morning. I admit, usually I don't recall much from a Monday, but to not remember anything just isn't normal. I can vaguely keep in mind arriving at school and groggily setting my backpack on my desk, but everything after that is just a vast expanse of gray area. I think I saw a light in front of me, but that could have been anything from my teacher's desk lamp to an oncoming semi. The way my head hurts now suggests it was a little closer to the semi.
The rangers said they hadn't seen me come into the caves or the stable. They say they found me clinging stubbornly to their huge bay warhorse, Gabriel, drooling and whimpering "pony" over and over. Now that I sort of remember. I recall waking up (at least, that's what it felt like) and finding myself sitting on this giant gelding. He swung his massive head around to stare at me and I squeaked. Yes, I know it's highly undignified to squeak, but I thought it was terribly appropriate at the time. You try waking up to find yourself six feet off the ground, on top of this vast creature (albeit a calm one) who could smush you into a pulp with one stomp of his hooves. I sat up too quickly and whacked my head on the ceiling. Dazed, I collapsed back onto Gabriel. He snorted good-naturedly and didn't toss me.
"What are we going to do with her, Kai?" I heard a low female voice whisper. There was silence long enough for me to open one eye. Three teenage girls, all older than me, and one teenage boy were staring at me skeptically. I sat up again, this time slowly so I wouldn't whack my head, and blinked at them. They blinked back. The eldest girl, one I would judge to be nineteen, tilted her head to one side.
"Where am I?" I asked dumbly. It was, in all honesty, the first question I had. She gave me a curious look and didn't answer right away. After several minutes she drew in a breath and began to slowly speak to me.
"You are in Eregion. I am Kai." She pronounced each word forcefully. I wondered absently if she thought I didn't speak English. I paled visibly (which is saying something, since I am quite pale already) at the word "Eregion" and slid off the horse, bolted out of the stall, and ran madly towards the exit like Hell itself was on my heels. I caught a flash of silver out of the corner of my eye and skidded to a halt. My insanity took over as I began drooling again and staring wide-eyed at the gorgeous dappled gray filly that had stopped me.
"Pony!" I squealed manically. An insane light was filling my eyes as I stared at this apparition in admiration and wonderment. I must have looked like a zombie.
"Oi! That's my horse!" In an instant Kai was next to me and was trying to drag me away.
"NOOOOO!" I cried as I felt my feet sliding away from the horse. The other teenagers had joined Kai and were pulling me back. In retrospect, it was quite comical, but at the time I was too crazed to notice. My brain had finally snapped, and had Kai not hit me exceptionally hard over the back of my head, I might still be like that. As it were, I dropped unconscious to the ground and lay like a slug (or so the rangers tell me).
So, that is the tale of my arrival in Middle-earth. Trust me, things only get crazier from here.
