Chapter 4: Diifferent Worlds?

Disclaimer: I don't own LOST or LOTR.

A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update. Thanks for waiting. I had something come up that sort of distracted me from typing it up . I am bogged down with homework right now but I wanted to give you guys this. Here you go.

LOTR POV

"Merry! Where are you?" Frodo appeared. He stopped in his tracks. Merry was with three humans. The humans were dressed very weirdly. The female was holding onto the taller, older (and in the author's opinion, cuter) male and the other male was staring at Merry.

"Merry, what's going on?" Frodo asked now right next to Merry.

Merry turned to Frodo. Merry didn't know what to say. Obviously, Merry and Charlie had just seen some of each other's lives. Merry wondered if Gandalf had anything to do with it.

"This is Jack, Kate, and Charlie." Merry said, not sure of what else to say.

"Ok… What does that have to do with what is going on?" Frodo asked. The three humans were now staring at Frodo.

"Well I heard them talking so I ran and found them" Merry said, leaving out the part that he had only heard Charlie from a unnatural distance, not to mention that Charlie and himself had just seen of each other's lives.

"How long have you been here?" Jack asked, hoping to find some reasonable conclusion to this mess. Of course, on this island, nothing was reasonable.

"We left Lothlórien this morning." Merry said.

"Merry don't tell them anything. They could be a part of Saroun's army." Frodo said.

"Frodo they are harmless. You're on the good side right?" Merry asked.

"Frodo? Lothlórien? What is up with these crazy names?" Charlie asked.

"Where is Lothlórien?" Jack asked.

"Well it's not like your names are normal." Frodo retorted.

Jack ignored Frodo and asked again, "Where is Lothlórien?"

"We're not sure anymore actually. A couple of hours ago, we all fell asleep at once and then when we woke up, we were here. What is this place anyways?" Merry asked.

Kate had stayed quiet this whole time, not sure what to make of the situation. She had finally noticed that she was holding on to Jack's arm but she didn't let go. She felt safe as long as she held onto Jack and as long as he didn't make her let go, she wasn't going to.

Jack looked at Charlie. They both silently agreed that in order to figure out what was going on, they were going to need to give as much information as possible.

"We don't really know. It's an island. We crashed here over two months ago from an airplane crash. All we know is that we are a thousand miles off course and we were going from Sydney to L.A. " Jack replied.

This brought a series of questions from the two hobbits.

"A island? What? How did we get on a island?" Frodo asked.

Merry asked," What's a airplane?"

Frodo asked, " Where's Sydney and L.A.?"

"Yeah a island. How could you not know what a bloody airplane is?" Charlie asked in disbelief.

"Sydney is in Australia and Los Angeles is in California." Jack said. This only drew blank looks from Frodo and Merry.

"Uh…never mind." Jack said. Maybe these two "hobbits" were from a different time period, but he had never heard of them before.

"Maybe we are from different worlds." Frodo suggested.

"Maybe… who else is with you?" Jack asked.

"Come on." Merry leaded the three humans to the rest of the fellowship.

Jack was now fully aware of Kate holding onto him. He realized everything did matter right no. What had happened between himself and Kate, could be put behind them for the time being. If they could do that now, then there was still hope. They could talk later, for now, Jack softly removed Kate's hand from his arm and Kate slid her hand into Jack's as they walked towards whatever they were about to face.

A/N: so what is going to happen when the fellowship meets the three humans? What will happen when the fellowship finally realizes they are out of their element? Will the fellowship ever find a way home? Just a few things to ponder over. The books from LOTR were written, but it wasn't very popular. Only one person on the island has read the books and there is something specific with that that is important.
