((I'm back! I've done even further editing and stuff. : Sighs: I'm just never happy am I? Lol.

Please r/r and Please, if you have anything to say, anything at all, I love questions. ))

Jessica remembered seeing parts of the film her and her friends had gone to. Lord of the Rings . . . but this was just outright ridiculous! This guy couldn't be who she thought he was. He was just some fictional character.

"Who are you?" She asked, her voice quavered slightly, nervous. Why shouldn't she be? For God's sake, he had a bow and arrow set! Things were just too strange.

"Who is asking?"

"Well, I'm Jessica, but I'm . . . uh, not really from around here, wherever here is." She looked around some more, but as far as she could see, there were trees, and a lot of them, at that. To her, it looked as though she had been thrown, rather roughly, at that . . . into one of her dreams. Or maybe she had been drugged very heavily. But then again, she'd only seen Legolas once before as well. And that had almost been an accident!

It had been from the poster to the movie Lord of the Rings, she remembered, looking to his face again. What was his name again? Legoless? She hadn't seen the movie, however. Perhaps only one of the few who hadn't while her friends chattered away about it, quite literally, for hours on end, and had banished talk of either the movie, or book, from her room unless they wanted her to read the books instead of gabbing about them. As anyone could imagine, she had been pretty annoyed to find a pile of books on her bed the following day, everything that J.R.R. Tolkein had ever written on Middle Earth had been put on her bed.

"You are in Rivendell forest."

Jessica began to wish fervently that she had a flashlight so that she could see his face to be certain, as he still had not told her who he was, though she had her suspicions.

"Um . . . Rivendell?" Now, Where had she heard of that...? She frowned mentally, realizing that she wasn't going to remember anytime soon.

She heard him sigh and saw him shake his head. "Come with me."

"But I don't even know who you are! You could at least tell me your name, I told you mine."

"You did not tell me all of it."

"And why would I need to tell you all of my name? Why would you even want to bother with remembering it all? Jessica is my first name. I have eight in all. Do you really want to spend time falling over all of that?" Jessica asked, standing up at last and dusting herself off as he looked at her.

"You are annoying." He stated matter of factly. "Perhaps you should like to stay here and muddle through the forest on your own? I do not fancy any will try to guide you through unless they are willing to be asked a great deal many strange questions by a strange girl."

"I just wanted to know your name. Jeez, boy . . . give me a break, huh?"

"If you must know, I'm Legolas. Now Lady Jessica, will you follow me, or will you stay here and dawdle?"

Reluctantly, Jessica followed him, glad that it was a quarter moon, or she may not have been able to follow him at all. 'Rivendell forest, huh?' she though as she walked, looking to him, and noting how much noisier she was. Although she was trying to be quiet, she was betting that her Nike airs wouldn't really walk on air.

He seemed to, though. And he made so little noise that she could just scarcely hear him at all. And it seemed like the leaves were trying to make her make as much noise as possible. 'Great. The leaf people hate me,' she muttered.

Suddenly she walked smack into a low branch, and gasped in surprise and light pain as she took a step back, and went under the branch instead. "Damned branch . . ." She muttered again, holding her nose momentarily before letting go. She sighed, ducking under yet another of the Jessica-attacking tree branches.

After all, what good would it do her to walk into even more of them? She could just see it now . . . and it wasn't an image she liked, but it was funny. She giggled.

"Are you injured?" Came his soft voice, although it sounded like he had expected her to say yes and whine about the mean ol' tree branch, it also sounded slightly concerned. Jessica shook her head.

"Nah, I'm good. And you, mister silent foot?" She joked, smiling slightly.

He laughed quietly. "I am fine. I have yet to walk into any trees."

Yeah, Jessica thought quietly to herself. You haven't ended up in some weird dimension or whatever . . . and . . . "Oh, hey! That's not fair! You should have walked into it too. You're taller than I am! What gives?"

When he didn't reply, after awhile, Jessica found it difficult not to gaze up at the stars peering through the branches. They were just so, bright. It was hard to believe how far from home she must have been. The stars were so different, from what she could see of them through the branches and leaves, and the slightly cloudy sky. But only a few were recognizable to her. Soon, however, they reached the so called Rivendell, and it was one of the most beautiful places that she had ever seen, though she had not even seen the inside yet, she somehow knew its beauty was truly unique, and something to behold.

The spires and silverfish white stone gleamed and shone in the moon light, along with the beautiful showers and waterfalls near the beautiful place. She only wished she could see it in it's full glory in the sunlight.

"I wish Gimli could see this," Jessica whispered. Legolas looked to her, looking lightly curious.

"Who is this Gimli you speak of?"

"Oh, Gimli? He's just a friend of mine."

"Is he a Dwarf?" Jessica frowned at him. "No, what's a dwarf?" He shook his head again.

"You will have to see Lord Elrond as soon as we are within its walls."

Jessica grew nervous. He made it sound like she was going to be in some very big trouble, though she wondered why.

"How come? Is Elrond sort of the leader here?"

A pause ensued, as they paused.

"Elrond is like a leader here, yes. Though this is his home, and the home of many others. Though I, myself, do not usually stay here for long. I have been sent as a messenger from my home, to here."

And with that, they continued on, walking at a faster speed. Soon, when they had reached the inside of the building, which she couldn't help but gawk at, he led her to Lord Elronds room. What was bad though, was the nervousness that coiled through her like a poisonous snake. Poisoning any hope she had of seeing the place as harmless.

And what was worse was that she was suddenly face to face with him. Or at least, another pointy-eared elf that looked like he'd woken up on the wrong side of the bed. 'Whoa, whoa. Down, boy, down,' Jessica thought quietly, looking to the grumpy looking guy.

He looked to Legolas. "Legolas, who is this Lady?" Legolas looked to me, I looked back to him, nervous. What was he expecting me to do? I looked to Lord Elrond. Well, here goe's nothing . . . "I'm Jessica, I'm not sure how I got here or anything, I just was sleeping in a tree, and suddenly, I wake up to Legolas pointing his arrow at my head, then he decided that it was somehow best to bring here. That's basically all that I know, really . . ."

((Will Jessica get in trouble? What will happen? What do you think? Please Review and tell me what you think may happen. Thank you to all of the people who have reviewed so far!!! I love you!!! LOL I love doing this . . .))
