Thank you for all the lovely reviews and favs on this story :)

I just stare at the man in front of me before slowing saying hello back. I then take another look around to make sure nothing else is going to come running out of the bushes. When I am pretty sure nothing else is going to sneak up on me I put my sword back on my hip and stare at the wizard.

"Where am I?" I ask getting straight to the point.

"Why you're in the Trollshaws woods" he said whilst raising an eyebrow, unsure as to why I asked a question like that.

"And where exactly is that?" I again ask, getting slightly frustrated. Where in God's name did the witch send me? I thought.

"Eriador, Middle Earth. Child why do you ask strange questions?" he asks as he takes a step closer towards me.

I stare at the man in front of me, unsure what I should do. I take a deep breath and sigh there was no point lying, it would only make for complications later down the track.

"I'm...not exactly from the world you call 'Middle Earth'. I'm from a place called Earth; Romania to be precise." I state unknowing what may happen next.

The older man just stares, I sensed he was taking his time processing the information I just gave him. I'm surprised he hasn't started to walk away yet calling me crazy. He slowly raises his eyes to meet mine.

"I believe you..." he paused, waiting for me to state my name.

"Lucy, and you are?" I reply with a small smile, glad that someone actually believed me.

"Oh yes I am Gandalf the Grey" he said with a smile "And Lucy, I think we should just keep this between us" he said with a smile. "I don't think people we will be as …. Excepting as I am". He chuckled.

"Thank you, for not thinking I'm crazy" I say with a smile.

"You're welcome Lucy, But may I ask one question?"

"You may" I say with a nod.

"How did you end up here, in the state you're in" He pointed at my blood matted hair and splattered face.

I unconsciously try to wipe the blood my face and it just ended up smearing and looking even worse.

"I was in the middle of a battle, I saw one of my friends under attack and protected him, and whatever I was hit with brought me here." I explained.

"That was very noble of you, but what could of hit you and brought you to another world?" he ponded.

I looked to the ground deep in thought forgetting that I was with company.

"Some sort of witches spell, and very powerful at that" I mumble more to myself than to answer his question. I have never heard of such magic before, spells that can teleport you into other realms.

"Witch?" confusion bloomed in his eyes.

I looked back up at Gandalf, "Similar to what you are but female." I state not really going into too much detail which could confuse us both.

"Oh, and what am I?" he almost whispered.

I chuckle, "A wizard" I state.

Gandalf looked slightly surprised "You're very observant Lucy" he chuckled.

I just shrug my shoulders, not only was it his attire that gave it away, but his aura. His aura was powerful and white that the moment I laid my eyes on him, Goosebumps covered my entire body.

The sky started to change colour, the sun was setting casting orange and purple hues. It was magnificent.

"Time goes so fast" Gandalf said with a chuckle. "There is a nearby cabin up ahead, we can take shelter there for tonight."

I nodded my head and walked by his side. The forest was dense with thick green trees and flowers I had never seen before, we walked in silence as I was preoccupied observing this new world I had ended up in. Up head there was a clearing in which stood a little wooden cabin a little bit worse for wear.

Some widows didn't have shutters, the door had a hole in it and by the looks of it there was also a hole in the roof. At this stage I didn't care shelter was shelter at the end of the day I could rest and clean myself up.

Gandalf opened the door and it actually wasn't as bad as I had thought, there was a fireplace, table and a bed all of which was intact.

"No one lives here?" I ask.

"Not for some time" He replies whilst walking over to the fireplace.

I walk over to the chair and took a seat, I sighed it was a good feeling to be able to finally relax. I take off my gauntlets and throw them on the table, wiggling my fingers to get the feeling back in them. The light bounced of the single gem on my ring; I was pleased to know that its power was still in effect, even in a different world.

Warmth eradicated from behind, I turn to see Gandalf had started a fire. He then pulled the chair to sit beside me and picked up on of my gauntlets, turning it around examining it.

"These are extremely heavy, how do you manage carrying all of that weight?" he asks, indicating that I'm not the person I'm trying to be.

"I've been carrying around that weight for years; you get used to it eventually" I say like it was nothing.

Gandalf looks me in the eyes, doubting that that was the only reason for why I could carry it.

"What are you really?" He slowly says unsure if he really wants the answer to that question or not.

"Vampire" I say eyeing him off unsure of how he will react.

I'm not a very secretive person; if someone asks me a question I will generally answer them truthfully and for me to come out straight away and tell a stranger who or what I am might seem very strange to you all, But you haven't felt his aura as soon as you meet this man you feel like you can instantly trust him with your most precious secrets and he will guard them with his life.

He looked blank not quite understanding the term "What is a 'vampire'?"

"I am a being that is neither dead nor alive. To sustain myself I must drink either the blood of a living animal or human."

As I was explaining what I was Gandalf's face paled ever so slightly and his heart sped up.

"Don't worry" I smiled at him "I've already fed for today".

That comment seemed to unnerve Gandalf even more as he just shook his head showing that he understood.
