Ok people, if I don't get some reviews I might stop this story. I'm sorry if Missy isn't really intriguing anyone, im not use to writing females who are not strong but I'm trying. I assure you she does have a purpose for why she is in Middle Earth and as for the romance its gonan be a triangle between Eomer, Aragorn, and Legolas because I couldn't pick just one. Ok, review please, even if its to be harsh.

Disclaimer: I don't own Lord of the Rings, just Missy.

Missy had a her ipod on, not attempting to help the wizard open the door. She didn't even know what language he was speaking, let alone where the handle went. She sang softly under her breath while watching Merry and Pippin throwing stones into the lake. No one had tried to talk to her since Aragorn introduced her. Sam was sulking over some horse, Frodo was with Gandalf, Boromir was sitting against a rock sharpening his sword, and Legolas was looking around as if he could see things they couldn't. She didn't like him much, he was to fast and to graceful. It seemed like the normal laws of physics just didn't apply to him and that made her uneasy.

"Do you remember anything of how you got here?" She glanced over to see Sam sitting beside her. She quickly pulled out her ear buds and gave him a small smile.

"I was driving down Rodeo Drive and then my cell rang but and I tried to reach it and I crashed." The poor hobbit looked completely lost and she sighed.

"Once I get to a phone everything will be fine, my daddy will come get me and I can have an actual shower…and get a new pair of shoes because my poor babies are ruined." She held up one of her scuffed sling backs and frowned deeply.

"Gandalf said he would get you home as soon as he could, I'm sure you'll be back within a month." Her eyes widened and she stood up quickly.

"A month? How long does it take to get through the mines?" She asked loudly.

"Four days, my lady." Aragorn answered from his place not to far away. Before she could yell about how absurd that was the door to the mine opened. They rest of the group began moving towards it, only Missy lingered behind. It was very dark, and dank. Her first step inside was unsteady, but her heel clicked loudly in the hollow entry way.

"This is no mine, it's a tomb." She heard Boromir say and then there was a shout for them to turn back. Missy was quick to step back onto the dirt but that was when she noticed a long tentacle snake by her and head for the hobbits.

"Sea creature!" She shouted but no one paid her any mind, but that was until it wrapped around Frodo's leg and pulled him right off his feet.

"Strider!" Sam yelled as he chased Frodo along with Merry and Pippin. Missy reached down and snagged Frodo's arm but was immediately pulled down by the force that was dragging the dark haired hobbit. She felt something grab her arm and was relieved to see it was Merry. Pippin and Sam grabbed Frodo and together they pulled him backwards. Instantly three more tentacles shot out and knocked the other three hobbits backward. Frodo was lifted into the air and Missy began crab walking backwards, until a tentacle grabbed her and pulled her towards the water. She screamed loudly, her nails digging into the rocks as she tried to hold on. Boromir sliced the tentacle that had her as he plunged into the water for Frodo. Missy crawled back towards the mines, her entire body was shaking so badly that she couldn't stand on her own two feet.

"Artemis get up!" Legolas shouted over his shoulder as he fired his arrows at the Watcher in the lake. She couldn't heed his words. Suddenly Boromir was running past her, hobbit in his arms, and a hand was clamping down on her fore arm and dragging her into the mine. She couldn't see through her tears who it was that was pulling her but as the doorway began to come tumbling down they gave her a final shove and she went flying forward and to her knees.

"Is everyone alright?" Missy couldn't breath though. She knew she was breathing but it didn't feel like it. Her chest was heaving as she cried loudly, her back against the cold stone wall. A light was shining suddenly but she couldn't look anywhere but straight ahead. Monsters were not real, but how else could she explain the giant squid trying to pull her into a lake?

"Artemis." Aragorn knelt down in front of her and held her face in his hands. She shook her head as she continued to hyperventilate.

"Monster… it was… where am… nightmare…" He looked to Gandalf with no idea of how to deal with the young woman who was freaking out before him. Pippin was the first one to move, shoving Aragorn over and then quickly slapping her across the face. Missy stared at him wide eyed, her own hand pressed against her cheek.

"Pippin!" Aragorn was astonished that the hobbit would react so.

"My mother does that to her sister when she panics… and it worked!" He defended. Aragorn helped Missy to her feet and then Gandalf shook his head and turned back towards the path.

"We have no choice now, we must go into the dark of Moria." The only sound the proceeded him was the soft clicking of Missy's heels.

When they finally stopped to make camp she had calmed down considerably. Pippin had apologized for slapping her and though she nodded she didn't give him any kind words. She was confused, and she didn't understand where she was or what happened after her crash. Aragorn handed her a piece of bread and an apple. She took them but continued to stare straight ahead silently.

"Are you alight my lady?" The ranger asked softly.

"Aragorn… am I in hell?" She asked and finally looked in his eyes. He seemed taken back. The girl he saw before him was unlike any woman he had ever come in contact with and though he knew that war was upon Middle Earth she had barley come against anything at all while being with them.

"What would make you ask that?" He responded and she felt tears flood her eyes again.

"We are in a mine Aragorn! I'm cold and hungry… I need a shower, I miss my friends… and things keep attacking me. This is horrible." She said and he glanced away to keep her from seeing the smirk that had graced his face.

"Truthfully Lady Artemis, this has not been such a hard trip as of yet. These mines do give me an uneasy feeling but we have Gandalf to guide us through safely." She nodded and nibbled on the small piece of bread. Not a hard trip he had said. She had never even been camping. She hated being dirty, and worst of all she hated not being pretty. She knew that her make up had worn off and her hair was in disarray from being uncared for, for days.

"You are a princess are you not?" He asked and she looked up at him with wide eyes, she didn't understand why he would assume something like that.

"I mean no offense, it is just that only royals seem so unused to the hardships of life and you my dear have only been with us for two and a half days." She let out a little huff of air and then squared her shoulders.

"I am not a princess! I am completely able to handle the hardships of life… I've had a hard life! Just last week my daddy made me give some of my best designer clothing to a charity." Aragorn chuckled and patted her on the back.

"Forgive me Lady Artemis, you will do fine." He began to stand up and she growled.

"It's Missy!" Legolas was the one who answered her though,

"Quite lady, unless you want to alert everyone to our location." She glared up at him. He seemed arrogant, and although he was attractive he seemed to have an immediate disdain for her.

"Just mind your own business Legless." She bit into her apple roughly as if to prove she was mad. Legolas had to fight back the anger at her flippant mispronunciation of his name.

"My name is Legolas, and you are the most useless individual I have ever met. We have had to do nothing but cater to your whining since we found you." She stood up to her full height, which was only to his chest since she had taken off her heels.

"I never asked you to drag me off that mountain Captain Selfish, but you can't blame me for being scared. I am no where near home, and have no idea how I got here!" A loud shush cut through the air and they both looked over to see Gandalf giving them one of his wizard stares. Missy sat down and bit into the apple again, Legolas sat down beside her, causing her to look up at him confused.

"You are right, I am sorry Lady Artemis." She gave him a nod and then as he walked away realized he had called her Artemis and threw what was left of her apple at his back. ~ * ~

The paths began to get more narrow and Missy found a safe place behind Aragorn, a hand constantly on his back. Boromir was behind her as well, and though she had no real contact with the man she believed anyone was better than Legolas.

"The wealth of Moria was no in gold or jewels but mithril." Gandalf told them and then leaned his light over the edge so they could see the fast caverns below them where the dwarves had been mining. Missy was hesitant to lean over and look but Aragorn pulled her towards him and kept an arm secure around her waist so she could peer over the edge. She was awed by what she saw. Something like that could be done without cranes and machines? She gave Aragorn a small smile and leaned back quickly. They carried on but Missy was still smiling, at least one big person in the fellowship didn't hate her.
