Anastasia skipped down the beach, splashing the chilly water up in the air, trying to catch the little drops in her small hands. Then she caught sight of him, the old man in the pointy gray hat, fishing rod in hand.
“Dofdof!” she shouted excitedly running up towards the dock to gray haired man.
“Hello, Anastasia, how are you,” he asked, looking up towards the small brunette girl?
“Have you caught any fish Dofdof,” the little girl asked?
“No, not today…” He let out a sigh, “Would you like to hear a story, Anastasia.” He asked with a cognizant look.
“Is it a story about the grown-up elves?” the child asked excitedly
“Yes, Anastasia, it is a story about the grown-up elves,” He said with a chuckle.
“Alright, then yes I would very much like to hear it,” She said with a smile.
“There is a very be…”
“NO! You’re starting it wrong,” Anastasia said with a pout.
“I am? Then child, do tell, how do I start it.”
“Well all stories start with “Once upon a time”, that’s how it’s suppose to be.”
“Alright. Once upon a time there was a beautiful Elvin Princess named...”
“Anastasia,” the girl interrupted.
“No, her name is Arwen,” he said with a grin.
“Oh, well I think you are wrong, I think her name was Anastasia!” the girl stated, as the old man laughed out loud.
“Fine if you would like we will call her Anna. Is that a good compromise,” he asked raising an eyebrow.
“I suppose,” she said letting out a sigh.
“So, Anna met a mortal man, named Aragorn, and she fell in love. However, this posed a big problem.”
“Why would being in love be a problem.” The girl practically shouted out of surprise.
“Well, dear, it wasn’t loving him that was necessarily the problem, it was the decision that she faced. See child Elves at one point hear the call of the sea. When they do, they cross the it to the Gray Havens. This is where all her family and friends would be, but not Aragorn. She would have to live for all eternity knowing she lost out on true love. However if she chose to love and be with Aragorn she would forsake her immortality. She wouldn’t be able cross over, and instead she would fade away, from the anguish when Aragorn would die.”
“Gandolf, that isn’t a very good story. No matter what she chooses it would not be a happily ever after ending!”
“Sometimes you are faced with such decisions though. So tell me Anastasia, would you choose family or true love…
Chapter 2 - Intro: The day the moon and the eighteen stars aligned
~12 years later
“… and on the day that the moon and the eighteen stars align your hour of destiny will be at hand. I see great evil, blood and sorrow. The balance of your world destroyed,” The white haired gypsy paused. “I see that the star of darkness will soon assume great importance in your life and your acceptance of the dark or embrace of the light will both depend upon your own will to live.” She said to the girl while gazing into her azure colored crystal ball.
Anna just looked at the women in disbelieve. “…Okay…So in other words my future really sucks,” Anna said with a mild laugh. “Gee not exactly what I wanted to hear. Well thanks. I guess” Anna said bewildered, placing a fifty on the table and walked outside.
Once outside, Anna sighed and shook her head at she walked up the street. She finally spotted her friends in the parking lot of Steak and shake. Adam was playing hackie sack with Ash, while Sara looked to be playing her one handed solitary game. Rolling her eyes she ran up to them.
“So, Miss Anna Banana how was it” Sara asked not bothering to look up from her game.
Anna relayed everything that had happened and everything that was said between her and the white haired gypsy woman.
“Oh come on Anna it couldn’t have been that bad.” Ash said laughing.
“That’s what you think! You didn’t have to listen to her!!” Anna shouted.
“Ahh poor baby Anastasia, is she scared of a little gypsy woman!!” Adam teased
“Okay, 1, Adam shut up! 2, I told you this was a bad idea, and even worse, what if what she said is true. Now I know it’s coming. 3, DON’T CALL ME ANASTASIA!" Anna said exacerbated. "I’m so NOT happy you guys.”
“Geese Anna!” Ash said
“Yea, Anna, why don’t you tell us how you REALLY feel.” Sara said exaggeratedly.
Adam laughed. “Hey wait a sec didn’t that gypsy say that you were going to have a life saving encounter. I bet you’re hoping that it’s a guy. Not that it matters, you being so inexperienced and all.”
“Oh yea like you’ve done any better in your life.” Anna retorted.
“How could I have a life when I had to watch after you 3 hens?” Adam said looking at all three girls.
“Oh don’t blame this on us Adam. We all know the reason why you are a quote unquote friend with Anna…” Sara said smiling deviously.
“You wanna start something Sara, then by all means bring in on!” He said and he walked towards her.
“Children Fight nicely.” Ash shouted.
Anna rolled her eyes at the stupidity of her friends, thinking that they would still act like this when they were 30. “Hey I need to go you guys.” Anna said looking at her watch. “I need to work on French for the great 3 day final that I have. Thanks for the great birthday gift. Now I know that no matter what I do the future sucks for me… I’ll see you all tomorrow and if not I’ll call.”
“Ok I’ll definitely call you tonight. I have to tell you what happened with me and matt.” Ash said with a huge smile.
“Bah d’accord. Bon courage avec tes études.” Sara said.
*well ok. Have courage with studying.
“Bye. But really admit it; you want it to be a guy.” Adam said as he stared up playing hackie sack again.
"bYe" Anna said sighing, running off.
Chapter 3 - You expect me to believe you're who!?
I know my elvish is um… really bad… but I did the best I could. So if there are English words mixed with the elvish it is because I was unable to find the word. However if you know the word, please by all means tell me, and I will make the correction.

Chapter one: You expect me to believe you’re who!
Anna waited patiently for the pedestrian sign to change. ‘Hurry up!’ she thought to herself. Finally after 10 minuets the light changed allowing her to cross. Anna ran across the street, she decided to go through West View Woods instead of the trail along side the highway. After what the gypsy said she was still a little shaken and didn’t want to take any unnecessary risks.
She slowly climbed up the steep hill. “God agony, you’re a bitch” She said talking to the hill as if expecting Agony to apologize to her for being so steep. However she had no such luck. Finally reaching the top, she sat down and took a small rest. ‘OMG I have no idea how people ever lived with out cars back in the day,’ she thought before getting up and making her way through the woods.
Anna noticed it was getting darker a lot faster than she had anticipated. She quickened her pace, not wanting to be alone in the woods when it was dark. Suddenly she heard a loud roar followed by scratching sounds.
“Who’s there…?” Anna tried to say forcefully but she knew that her voice betrayed her. She listened intensely, straining her ears to hear anything. She slowly opened her purse, shuffling throw the contents, and pulled out a can of pepper spray as she slowly started to go forward.
Anna heard a loud crunching sound, before falling forward and being engulfed into darkness.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Is re eithel?”
*Is she well?
“Uma.”
*yes
Anna slowly opened her eyes after hearing the alluring melodic speech.
“creoso n'alaquel, ai min. Lle tyava quell ?” A blond man said.
*welcome back little one. Are you well?
“Oouch,” Anna whispered grabbing her head and wincing at the pain.
“Le nae atacke bi glamhoth.” The blond said caressing the side of the face. “Im Glorfindel. Mani naa essa en lle?” He paused looking at the girl questionably. “Lle rangwa amin?”
*you were attacked by orcs. I am glorfinel. What is your name? Do you understand me?
“It’s so pretty… like wind chimes or something.” Anna said half awake.
“You don’t speak elvish.” The blond paused. “What is your name little one?”
“I’m Anna. Who are you?” she asked, trying to sit up a bit.
“I am Glorfindel and that is Erestor.” He said pointing to his dark haired companion.
Anna looked at the blond in amusement before laugh. “ Hahaha… you really expect me to believe that he is Elrond’s counselor.” She said pointing at the dark haired man. “And that you’re the infamous balrog slayer! Wow that’s great! Really who are you guys and what happened?” She said looking at them seriously
Both of the elves looked at the girl in wonderment. They were very perplexed when the first found the girl. They though at first that they had rescued a boy, since the figure wore legging, however after they turned the figure over they realized from her low cut revealing shirt she was indeed a girl. Now this girl seemed to know intimate details about their life.
“How is it that you know about us, little one.” Glorfindel asked slowly.
“Ok cut the little one crap. I’m 18 now, can legally smoke, watch porn and gamble. I’m an adult. Please just tell me what happened. You’re starting to creep me out with this “I’m an elf from middle earth act”” She said perturbed.
Glorfindel glared at the girl. Never in all his years had anyone talk to him in such a manor. Erestor sensing his friend’s frustration took over the conversation.
“Milady, I am Erestor, and it is true that I am the counselor of Lord Elrond. I am also sorry to point out but you are currently in Middle Earth.” He stated calmly. Slowly regarding her, he continued. “Glorfindel and I were tracking orcs that had been causing havoc in Rivendell. In doing so, we saw them attack you, so we intervened then proceeded to rescue you.”
Anna sighed as her patients grew thin. “Okay, well Glorfindel, Erestor, not that I am not thoroughly enjoying talking to characters from books. I really need to get involved with my French book. You know finals and all.” She said slowly getting up. “You know I’m sort of shocked that Adam didn’t mention the convention to me… He always goes to them…” She stated walking off
The elves looked at each other completely confused by what the young girl was saying.
Anna looked around her surrounding realizing that she didn’t recognize anything. “Umm… which way is the golf course?” She asked looking towards the “elves”.
“What is a golf course?” Erestor asked.
Anna looked at him and then at her watch. ‘4:30… but it was just 8 when I last looked.’ She thought. She checked the date and it was still the 4th according to her watch. ‘I guess I could just have them take me to the convention and call someone to come get me.’
“Okay, I don’t suppose you could take me to "Rivendell"?” She question.
Both elves gave suspicious glances. They elves had discussed that matter before. They had figured that there was something special about the girl, and now after hearing her accent and the way she spook, they thought for sure Lord Elrond should meet the girl.
“Alright.” Glorfindel said. “We will take you to Rivendell, to meet Lord Elrond.”
