A/N OK, now this chapter is going to take a really strange turn. Don't worry, its still JS and everything is still the same. Only…well you'll just have to read to find out. ;)

Suze's POV

One of Jesse's little sisters gasped out loud. The rest of us just gaped. The silvery smoke was starting to take the shape of a girl. My first thought was, ghost. Surely it was a ghost. I just can't be rid of them can I? But then, I noticed that everyone else could see it too. That stumped me. They couldn't all be mediators. Anyway, the Ghost Jesse had never told me of being a mediator when he was alive. In fact he had seemed astonished by the fact that mediators existed when we had first met.

Looking back at the silver figure in the center of the de Silva's wooden, ranch-style living room, I noticed her features had all come into view. She was very pretty, in a forest-nymph kind of way. Her skin was of a light olive tone. She had a waterfall of long auburn waves cascading down her back and her eyes were sparkling and green. Her beautiful pink lips which would have made Angelina Jolie ashamed were parted in a soft, knowing smile.

"Wh-Who are you?" asked Jesse's father in astonishment.

"I am the keeper of time" she started. Her voice was a soft and tinkly kind. "I make sure that traveling through time is done according to its policies and mistakes have their consequences."

"Are you an...angel?" asked Mrs. De Silva wonderingly.

The girl laughed. "No, I am not an angel. As I said, I am the keeper of time. I watch over what is going on in the dimension of time. Time is made up of millions of layers. When people start traveling between these layers, it is my job to look up their reasons for doing so and to make sure their business in the different layer of time is finished according to the rules of time travel."

All of us took some time to digest her speech. "So…you show yourself to everyone who travels through time? Pops never mentioned anything of the sort to me" said Paul, frowning.

"No, I don't show myself to everyone who travels through time. Actually this is a very rare situation. You are some of very little humans in the history of time who have ever set their eyes upon me. I only show myself when things do not go according to plan" she replied.

I shifted in my hard, wooden seat. "Meaning things have gone wrong this time?" I asked.

"Yes" she replied. "It was not supposed to end this way" she simply stated.

"What do you mean? How was it supposed to end?" I cried out.

"You will know with the course of time. Meanwhile, you two shifters from the future will be staying here with the de Silvas. I will make sure that the people from your own time will not miss you. You will go ahead with you daily life of schoolwork, only in a different place" the keeper of time said.

Huh? OK, this wasn't making sense. What the heck did she mean, continue with our schoolwork? I mean considering the fact that we weren't even going to school! I voiced my confusions.

"I mean that your homework and a copy your rooms will be transported and fixed in the place of two this house's rooms. That way you two will be comfortable, seeing as you are not used to the…ah… old-fashioned way of life here. Do you understand now?" she asked gently.

Wow. She could actually do that?? Man, this was great! I get to have a shower and lip gloss after all!

I nodded dumbly. "Yeah…I under…stand" I replied. "But can't you just give us a hint of what we are even supposed to do here?"

She smiled as she started to fade away. "You'll figure it out, I promise. Oh, and my name is Anthea" she said. The next second she was gone.

Paul's POV

The moment the red-headed chick disappeared, I bounded out of my stool and headed up the stairs. I opened the first door in my sight. Nope. No sign of my navy bedspread or Suze's pink canopy bed. The next door I opened, though, shocked me. In it was…well my navy bedspread, my glass topped little table with my BlackBook on it and…well everything else my room has in it.

I stared and stared. Never had I thought that the sight of my own room would stun me so much. This meant that what that keeper of time girl had said was true. That this was not supposed to be the ending. And I had a faint inkling that I knew exactly what ending it was supposed to be.

But I wasn't going to let it happen. Yeah, sure according to the rules my plan was not supposed to work out. But since when did I care about the rules? My motto was "Rules are made to broken". And that was exactly what I was going to do. I was going to keep Suze to myself at all costs. I knew that she was my soul mate the moment I learnt that she was a mediator as she likes to call it. I was sure that fate had brought us together because we were the same and so we would understand each other.

Suze, followed by the de Silva family entered the room behind me. "OH MY GOD." That was all she said.

"Yeah" I said. "Oh My God."

A/N: Liked it? I know this chapter is not one of my best. But please review. Thanks!!

PS: Did anyone notice that abbreviation for this story's title and The Lord of the Rings is the same? I just noticed now…
