Chapter 1

Flashback

An older blonde woman and her daughter are in a mammoth sized bedroom, with suitcases everywhere.

"Mom what do you mean you'll be gone for four months. What the hell will you be doing that entire time".

"Don't you dare take that tone with me Sarenia, I'm in no mood do you hear me. No mood". Sarenia looked at the older woman. She was tall, buxom and blonde, so unlike her daughter.

"Mom you and Dad are going to miss my birthday and my show, and my concert. You're going to miss everything".

"I know and I'm very sorry dear, but it can't be helped. Wait a minute what show?" The girl, Sarenia, screamed and flopped back on the bed she was sitting on.

"My show, the play I'm in. You know footloose. Come on, Mom I'm the lead, Ariel."

"Oh yes dear, I'm sorry I completely forgot." Sarenia opened her mouth, but her mother cut her off. "Before you say anything darling, I know we're going to miss some things but we'll be back I time for your graduation. Your father and I need this. Unless you'd like us to get divorced, plus you won't be totally alone. You have your boyfriend, Jay"

"But, mom if you and Dad need this so badly then why don't you wait for summer then I can come with you, and we can work out our problems as a family." Her voice was becoming earnest and tears were forming in her big gray eyes. "Not to mention I broke up with Jay.

"Saren, you know that that is completely out of the question. Now I need you to stop acting like a child and make a grown up decision. Are you going stay here and have Mrs.Applebaum move in or are you going to move in next door with her?" Gray met gray when she looked her daughter in the eye, also totally disregarding the final thing that her daughter had said.

"Well I guess I'll move in with her. Do you really have to go? Tonight I mean."

"Yes dear, you know we can't miss the flight. Well that's it. Are you sure you'll be alright, all by yourself tonight?"

"Yeah, and its only one night and tomorrow after school I'll move in with Mrs.Applebaum, don't worry Mom."

"Kay, well then that's everything, See you in a couple of months." The older woman left the room without so much as hug or a kiss. Sarenia simply clapped her hands, curled up on her side, and cried herself to sleep.

End of Flashback

Sarenia awoke slowly and stretched out her legs, which were painfully cramped. She sat up and scratched her head. The sun was shining brighter than it had the previous day. Looking at her watch it she decided to see if there was a road or river around.

It was a little to warm for the red shirt and fleece vest of yesterday. So she went into the backpack and pulled out a tee shirt and her high tops. Being more comfortably dressed she stood up and started walking. She was walking for about ten minutes she found herself as a little river, that was probably no more than seven or eight feet wide. Something told her that the water was clean enough to drink. So she cupped her hands and took a drink. It was the sweetest water she had ever tasted.

Cupping her hands once again in the water she rubbed her face in it. She sensed that someone was looking at her so she slowly raised her head and saw a huge pair of eyes before whatever it was splashed water in her face and ran in the opposite direction. By the time she looked up. the thing was already across the clearing and into trees on the other side. 'Great the first living thing I see and I scare it off.' She thought to her self. That was when she decided to follow the river for a while and eventually found the river's source. A beautiful pond where the there were trees to sit under and the perfect little beach to lie on right after you were done swimming. Sarenia might not know where she was but wherever she was it was breathtaking and splendidly clean.

Walking around the edge of the little beach Sarenia spied something that made ant to laugh with relief a path that led from the beach to what looked like a road.

Walking up the little path she found what was indeed a road. The road was rutted as though carriage wheels had only ever driven on it. Walking for while she realized that it must be around noon because the sun was beating down on her from high in the sky. 'Damn it's hot.' Saren was starting to get hot. So she climbed the little incline that bordered the road and walked in the shade of the trees. Looking up she was just starting to appreciate how beautiful thus place. And it didn't matter that she had no idea of how she got here or how long she would be there.

Being completely lost in thought she didn't notice the person sitting under the tree until she tripped over them. Though not knowing if it were or a person or a tree root she didn't say sorry until she heard a definite ouch. Sitting up she looked into the face of the thing that she had tripped over, her first reaction was to scream though she didn't know why. When she screamed it screamed. It was what appeared to be a little boy with black hair and very blue eyes.

"I'm not going to hurt you. So don't worry little kid, but can you tell me where I am or who you are?" Sarenia said it softly and slowly so the child wouldn't be frightened, but it was the child's tone of voice that took her by surprise.

"I, my lady, Frodo of the Shire am no child but a hobbit, and to answer you second question you are in the shire, or a little ways outside." The said hobbit spoke with so confidence that she almost believed if only for a second. But then coming to her senses she processed what he had said. It couldn't possibly be true. There was no way that she could be in shire, in the company of a hobbit because they didn't exist.
"Madam are you alright, you don't seem to be taking this very well." Said the supposed Frodo. Just then an idea popped into her mind. She must have conked her head on the on the computer table and all of this must just be a hallucination. So she asked Frodo whether he was waiting for Gandalf the Grey.

The young hobbit was so shocked that that he was silent for a moment before speaking then responded with "Why yes my lady, why do you ask? Did you pass him on the road?"

"No, but he should be here in about a minute. When he gets here tell him that he's late and I guarantee that he'll respond by saying that wizards are never late and that everyone else is simply early. And if I'm right will you take me to the shire?" She said this very quickly and ended making up a plan in her head as she went. "Is it a deal?"
"Yes, my lady it's a deal. Now, you say he should be here in a moment, and when he shows up I say that he's late and he'll respond by saying the words you said. And if you're right then all I have to do is take you to the shire?"

"Yes that is all our deal contains. Now I'm going to sit on the other side of the tree and you do what I told you and it'll all be fine. Oh and by the way I'm Sarenia." Frodo nodded his head in agreement and looked down the road. To his apparent amazement Gandalf and cart were coming down the road, singing merrily. He waved to Frodo who looked back at Sarenia who was around the other side of the tree already. Remembering their deal he said his line. "You're late!"

"Wizards are never late, everyone else is simply early." Said Gandalf in mock seriousness, Frodo jumped onto the seat next to Gandalf and gave him a hug. Gandalf started the wagon again when Frodo saw Sarenia stick her head out form the behind the tree. But before he could say anything Gandalf spotted her.

"I say Frodo did you forget something, or apparently someone" he said. Then redirecting his gaze to Saren he said "Do not be afraid my dear for I am Gandalf the Grey and shall not hurt you."

Sarenia couldn't believe it was really Gandalf. This was real or one hell of a hallucination. She slowly walked towards the cart and waited for Frodo to introduce her not knowing what else to do. Sensing that he had to do something Frodo stood up and held his arm out to her.

"Gandalf may I introduce Sarenia, she came upon me while I was waiting for you. I think she may be a wizard like you or maybe she has the gift of foresight, because she told me that you would come and say exactly the phrase that you said. We also had a bit of a bet; if she was right then I would have to take her to the shire with me. Is it alright if she rides along with us? She seems to have no idea of where she is" Frodo said this all very earnestly. As if hoping that Gandalf wouldn't yell at him. But Gandalf just smiled and looked at her kindly.

"Are you from the line of men or are you an elleth?" he asked kindly still unable to respond she just turned her head and showed him her rounded ears. Still smiling he asked her "Do you really have the gift of foresight?" this he asked keenly and studied her intently as he waited for her response.

Finally finding her voice she responded "Something like that. I just seem to know what's going to happen.

"Come closer child so that I may have a closer look at you." Obliging him she moved off the little incline and on to the seat beside Frodo. Gandalf reached a hand out to her and turned her face slightly to the side; apparently seeing something that she didn't know was there he gently ran his long fingers over a bump on her temple that she didn't know she had.

"That's quite a bump you have there my dear. Any idea on how you came to possess it?" Sarenia simply shook her head. Gandalf apparently slightly disappointed shook the reins and together the trio set off once again.
