Shout outs:

Phangirl27: I'm actually mostly sticking to original, but I've twisted a few things to fit my needs for this story! She doesn't really need to bring the religion to Middle-Earth because they all ready follow in an odd way.

LuthienTinuviel87: It comes in soon, don't worry!

LOTR Geek: Its Carrie Underwood's new song actually! Yum! I love cookies! Oh and I know you don't learn much about her in this chapter but I'm trying not to rush through this story like i have my others. Don't worry the next chapter you'll actually learn her name!

A Second Chance

Breath rushed into the girl's lungs. She eyes snapped open.

Sunlight. That was the first thing she noted when she woke up. She turned her head and inhaled the scent of fragrant green grass. She tried to push her self up, but her arms buckled and gave out. She fell back on the ground with a startled "Oof!"

"Ugh." She moaned and relaxed, but suddenly stiffened.

(Things surrounded by – means it her thoughts-) -WHERE AM I? What… What happened? The ceiling… Daddy? Where's the house? Was it... Blown away? - She sat up as much as she could and craned her neck looking for any signs of her home or her father or anything familiar at all.

Nothing. Just rolling hills and grass. She sighed and lay back down. She clasped her hands and sent a prayer up, for help or even just an explanation. Just as she was finishing she felt the ground trembling beneath her body.

"What the?" She struggled to a sitting position (successfully this time) and looked around for the source of noise.

A black cloud was rising over a hill. She cocked her head to the side, trying to see into the mass of dirt rapidly gaining on her tired self.

"AH-HAAAAAA!" She yelled in surprise when she was finally able to tell the nature of the creatures coming toward her.

They were monsters. They had black leathery skin and armor on. She scrambled backwards in a weak attempt to get away. A snarling beast, taller than the others, stooped and picked her up while still running.

"Hey!" The thing got in her face and snarled. She recoiled.

"Put me down!" She demanded. It slapped her across the face, causing her head to snap sideways. She closed her eyes, only snapping them open again when she felt the things hands where they shouldn't be. Her hand curled into a fist and she drove it into the thing's eye. Then she spit at it.

"Let me down." She told it her cheeks flaming but her eyes hard. It growled at her, but must have decided she wasn't worth it. It dropped her right in the path of the rest of the beasts. The first one growled something and continued running.

The girl rolled as best she could to avoid the pounding feet that threatened to trample her into a pancake. Her world faded to black as numerous feet hit her head.

(Ok here's the religious part folks! It's a pretty main part of my story though so either read it or scram! Thanks! With love, Mariah)

The girl's guardian angel winced as he watched the poor girl he'd been commanded to watch over was trampled. This wasn't meant to happen. He was supposed to deliver her straight to them. But some of Lucifer's fallen angels had caught up with him and he'd been forced to drop her to save her life.

He flew higher in the air, pleading silently with his Lord that the girl's saviors would be near by.

There! He hurriedly flew near their leader and imbedded in him a sense of urgency. The ragged man suddenly speed up and called for his two companions to also do so. The angel relaxed his tense muscles in relief. She would be safe for now. It would be fine for him to take a swift trip to his Lord to report the problems with the fallen angels and that he had accomplished his charge to an extent.

All would be well. He would return soon and finish his job as the young one's protector. He quickly disappeared headed for what this land called the Undying Lands, but was known by many different names, nonetheless including Heaven.

(Ok just to clear some stuff up. Elves are kind of sort of like a second race of humans that God created to replace humans seeing how Humans had failed on Earth. He later introduced Men. Sauron is NOT the Devil (Lucifer) he's just a minion. The Devil is called Morogoth in Middle-Earth. God is beginning to call the Elves back to the Undying Lands (a.k.a Heaven on Earth.) If any one has any questions let me know!)
