Notes: Eilish is pronounced 'eye-lish'... As far as I know it is the Irish version of Elizabeth... The shirt Eilish is wearing does exist and can be purchased at Warehouse One Jeans in Canada. Ventolin, to non-asthmatics is an inhaler. Elvish word translations can be found at the end of the paragraph the word is in.
Summary: Labour and delivery nurse Eilish Bell is in a car accident and finds herself thrown into Middle Earth.

Chapter 1

Eilish's body collided heavily with slightly damp earth. The blow crushed the air from her lungs. She tried to draw a breah, but the shock had momentarily paralyzed her diaphragm. Eilish struggled to sit up, and was finally able to fill her lungs, the rush of oxygen causing a little vertigo.

When the dizziness passed, Eilish looked around, taking in surroundings she knew she'd never seen before. She was surprised and very much relieved to catch sight of her royal blue 'UBC' backpack, which was sitting in the dirt about a meter from her. She reached for it, winching at the sharp pain that shot through the right side of her ribcage. As a nurse, Eilish knew her ribs had to be cracked or at least badly bruised.

She grasped her bag and pulled it over to where she sat and opened each pocket in turn, checking on her belongings. The main pocket contained her scrubs and a change of clothes, a hoodie, her make-up bag, a bottle of shampoo and some other toiletries. The front pocket held her discman, CD's, a pair of sunglasses, her wallet, ventolin and a lighter, though she didn't smoke. Each large side pocket held a bottle of Evian water.

Eilish pulled a mirror out of her make-up bag and glanced at her appearance. Wide blue eyes looked back at her and she grimaced at the smudges of dirt on her face. She brushed locks of red hair out of her eyes and wiped at the dirt on her cheek. Then with a sigh, she put the mirror away, zipped up her backpack and got to her feet, albeit a little shakily. Lifting her bag she hoisted it onto her back, slipping her arms in the straps. She looked up at the sun and by its position judged it to be midmorning. Readjusting her backpack, she determinedly started walking west, following the sun's path.

Legolas Thranduilion headed the Mirkwood entourage travelling to Imladris for the council of Elrond. It was his duty to inform the council of the escape of the creature, Gollum. Legolas was tense, worried about what would transpire at the council, as well as having a strange feeling that something odd was happening. He didn't know what could be amiss, nothing appeared off in the surrounding country, but he couldn't shake the feeling.

The cause of the strange feeling became apparent when the party reached the top of a small rise. Down in the small valley was a figure, walking westward, the same direction the group was headed. Legolas' elven eyesight could just make out a woman, most likely human, though very strangely dressed.

"Do my eyes deceive me? Is that a woman, ernil-nin?" Legolas' guard, Tathar, asked quietly in elvish.

"They are not, lest my own are cheated as well," Legolas replied. "She is strangely dressed. And why is she alone in the wilds?"

"I could not say, ernil-nin," Tathar answered, "Perhaps we should inquire if she needs assistance?"

"Yes, let us. I fear I will not rest easily tonight otherwise."

The group of Mirkwood elves urged their horses into a quick trot, making their way down the rise into the valley where the unknown woman walked.

Eilish whipped her head around when she began to hear some sounds other than those of the wilderness. She had been walking for several hours without seeing a sign of any civilization. As the cause of the noise drew closer she managed to make out the sounds of hoofsteps. She turned in the direction she'd come from and could just begin to make out a small group of horses, carrying riders towards her. Nervously, she wondered if she should find a place to hide.

"Stupid idea, 'Lish," She said to herself, "They've obviously already seen you." So she waited for the riders to reach her, hoping they were friendly.

As the ri app approached the woman, Legolas could now make out the woman's features and what, exactly, she was wearing. She was of a small stature, with long red hair he'd never seen the like of. She was wearing some type of blue trousers and a white shirt with very short sleeves, that had words in the common tongue on the front of it spelling out: 'I may not be perfect but I am CANADIAN and that's close enough'. She carried what appeared to be a pack on her back.

The group reached her and drew the horses to a stop. The woman looked up at them, allowing Legolas to see that her eyes were a clear, vibrant blue, fear and apprehension visible in their depths.

"Hiril-nin," Legolas spoke, "I am Legolas Thranduilion, may we be of assistance to you?"

At hearing his name Eilish paled; she knew the name. The 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy had been her favourite books as a teenager. Legolas was slightly alarmed to see the colour leave her face so rapidly. He dismounted from his horse and stepped closer to her.

"Hiril-nin, are you well?" He asked, concerned.

"Where am I?" Eilish whispered.

"Nearing the Misty Mountains, in Arda," Legolas replied, his confusion apparent. "Middle Earth as the edain call it."

"Middle Earth?" Eilish repeated. Her face went deathly pale and she swayed dizzily, her knees beginning to buckle. The last thing she knew before all went dark was a pair of strong arms catching her before she hit the ground.
