Another super short chapter but the next and final chapter should be longer! That's right folks! One more chapter left! I hope everyone enjoyed this story as much as I enjoyed sharing it with you! Thanks for staying with me all this time.

Also a reminder that I deleted the author's note from a while back that said that I couldn't write because I was too busy and I replaced it with chapter 16, so if you're confused and haven't read that, go read it now! (I forgot to mention that last chapter, sorry!) Now without further ado, onto the second last chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own Lord of the Rings.

Chapter 18:

I must've been walking for an age when I came upon the first memory. It was of me and my parents; a Christmas. I watched it from above, wanting to reach them but being unable to.

I stood on empty air, all white around me except for the memories that played out beside me. I cried as I walked. Big silent tears as I watched my life unfold around me.

I saw my parents die in a car crash as I screamed in the backseat. I looked on as I went to the ocean for the first time. I watched a younger version of myself dance and laugh at a friend's wedding. Everything came flooding back to me as I treaded on the white nothingness that held my world together. I remembered my first kiss and my favourite diner and even my name.

Sophie.

It had floated out into the emptiness on which I stood and it called me towards a light, soft and weightless as if it were just wind. I squinted and followed the voice, picking up speed as I ran past my memories. I finally reached a door that was partially blocking the light. I almost opened the door but something stopped me.

I wasn't Sophie anymore, I realized. I was something different. I was Estrella now, whether I liked it or not. Whatever had concerned me before didn't concern me anymore. I knew that if I opened that door, I would have to be Sophie again. All the memories did was put me even more between worlds; split me, make me two different people. I smiled.

"I am Estrella," I said aloud to the voice behind the door, "and I am part of Middle Earth."

I put my hand on the knob of the door and closed it quietly, allowing myself to let go of all my memories; tying myself to the new and strange world I had grown to love even as evil slowly descended upon it.

And just like that everything turned dark and I was swept away.

Love it? Hate it? PLEASE REVIEW! It would mean a lot to me and more reviews mean the final chapter for you!

Thanks!
