Summery: Kim gets lost on her vacation to New Zealand. She ends up in 
Middle-Earth 
with none other then out favorite blond elf. But they really hate each 
other at first, until 
she becomes the tenth member of the fellowship. (I know its kind of a 
worn out theme in 
many of the fan fic, but hey- I was bored one day. It’s a good story I 
promise ya)           
Disclaimer: You know the deal…everything belongs to J.R.R Tolkien, I 
only own Kim. 
So please let her live out her life in peace…lol

Chapter one- Where am I

      “ I am so lost” Kim said to herself. “What am I suppose to do 
now, I’ve been 
walking for 3 hours now…Blair witch here I come,” she giggled. It was 
her vacation to 
New Zealand that found her in her particular predicament. Whatever 
possessed her 
parents to let her wander the woods would always boggle her mind, they 
were usually 
very overprotective. 
	“My feet really hurt…stupid sneakers!” she said to herself, as 
she did so she 
walked right into something. “ HEY WATC…” she almost got out until she 
realized what 
she had run into. It was so ugly. And it smelled like a dead body. It 
was like 6 foot tall 
and all black with very rancid features that now glared her right in 
the face. “ Ha…I’ll 
just be going now,” she pointed out until the thing grabbed her by the 
shoulder. “You 
look mighty tasty and I haven’t eaten in days,” it snarled. “YO! BACK 
OFF!” she 
screamed and clawed at the things hand on her now brused shoulder. 
He/she/it had the 
tightest grip. “I’ll get a lawyer on your ass buddy, this is 
harassment!” she insisted. “You 
know a bath wouldn’t kill you either” 
	Suddenly a waft of arrows filled the air. Kim saw this as some 
sort of opportunity 
and roughly kicked the thing between the legs, and it really hurt her 
shin. It doubled over 
in pain dragging Kim to her knees because he still had a firm grip on 
her shoulder “You 
will regret that” it growled in her face “what are you dude” she 
questioned. Just then, an 
arrow went right through its skull. “HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL!” Kim 
screamed as the 
thing fell right on top of her pinning her to the ground and holding 
her legs in such an 
odd position that she soundly heard a ‘POP’. 
	She couldn’t see much from her present position, but she did 
manage to get a 
glimpse of what ever was shooting the arrows. They were like all very 
tall and most had 
long blond hair, and pointy ears? It wasn’t until all the fighting was 
over that Kim got a 
good look at one. He came over to her and pushed the beast off of her 
as if it was a light 
as a feather, and if asked, Kim would say it weighed a ton. “ Are you 
alright?” the man 
with the pointy ears asked. Kim was speechless; she had never seen a 
man so handsome. 
He was tall and lean, though muscular, and had long shoulder length 
blond hair that was 
half up in a braid. He eyes were silver and they almost seemed to burn 
right into her soul. 
“Um... I think I dislocated my knee.” Was Kim's wavering reply. The man 
bent down on 
one knee and gently examined her very black and blue joint. As he did 
so he eyed her 
blue jean shorts with a confused expression. “what kind of fabric is 
this, I have never in 
my travels seen anything like it. Its tough yet light and movable” he 
asked and kim 
couldn’t believe what she was hearing, “What do mean you have never 
seen anything like 
it, its in every department store in the world”. He gave kim and odd 
look and kim had to 
ask. “where am I?”
“you are on the borders of mirkwood”
“ha ha I thought you said mirkwood but that’s a place in a book”
“I did say mirkwood and I am prince legolas”
with that kims eyes became so wide and she soundly passed out. Legolas 
studied the 
woman lying unconscious in front of him. He found her strange for she 
wore strange 
clothing and the language she used was odd, yet she was exceedingly 
beautiful. Her long 
golden brown hair fell in spirles over her sholders and she had strong 
facial features. He 
found her eyes most appealing, they were almost elven in nature yet 
they still held a 
distinctly human quality. He gently picked her up, her lithe body 
dangled in his strong 
arms. “We can not leave her here, she would not last with orc’s 
patrolling the borders” he 
instructed to the other elves that he had with him. They nodded and did 
as there lord 
asked.

	Kim’s eyes slowly began to flutter open and a bright light 
filled her vision. As her 
eyes adjusted she realized where she was…actually she had no idea where 
she was. It 
was a giant room filled with odd trinkets and it looked almost medieval 
in nature. The 
whole room was strange “ This is deffinatly is not my hotel room” she 
thought to herself.  
She sat up quickly when she realized someone else was in the room with 
her. “OUCH!” 
she screamed as she shifted her dislocated knee and found it had not 
fully healed. “Do not 
hurt yourself” the man rushed to her side. “ YOU?” she gasped. “Where 
am I?” 
“You are in my fathers house”
“ no really…Where am I?”
“you have quite a hard time believing what you are told…don’t you?”
“ Hey this is no time to get an attitude” kim snapped as she shifted 
for a more 
comfortable position. She stared at this man…legolas…right in the eye 
and asked “your 
name really isn’t legolas is it…you are like some sort of actor aren’t 
you?”
“ no my name really is legolas…Prince legolas of the woodland realm. 
And what is your 
name or should I continue to address you so impersonal?” he replied. 
Both kim and 
legolas realized at the same time that they really didn’t like each 
other, but kim thought 
she should oblige him and give him her name. “ what sort of name is 
kim?” he rudly 
asked. “ you know what, I’m really starting to dislike you…you are 
quite rude for a 
prince” kim growled through clenched teeth. “I am not too fond of you 
either, kim, but I 
have been kind enough to give you my bed as you healed.” He got right 
up in her face 
and saw such beauty in the scrunched up, angry face of her. If only she 
was kinder and 
behaved as a woman should and respect him. He oddly enough found her 
arrogance quite 
appealing and attractive though he would never tell her. 
	As the two continued to glair at each other a tall man wereing a 
pointy grey hat 
entered “Legolas I am anxious to meet this strange woman you told me 
about” came the 
booming voice. Kim raised an eyebrow and promptly looked up to match a 
voice with the 
face. “ OMY GOD, I really am in mirkwood…Legolas …Middle-earth…lord of 
the 
rings…Gandalf ” and she passed out yet again. Legolas looked at the 
other very 
confused. “ I do not know who she is but she is very strange, gandalf.” 
“ I see..well stay with her and when she wakes send for me, I am very 
anxious to speak 
with your guest” and gandalf left the room with that.
	

Chapter two- a fellowship of…ten?

	Kims eyes opened from yet another episode of blacking out. She 
realized she was 
in the exact same room as before. “ o this has to be a dream,” she 
slapped herself in the 
face to try and wake herself up. “ouch…that usually works in the 
movies” she whispered 
rubbing the red mark she inflicted on her face “you are strange indeed, 
kim” legolas 
spoke up. “ you know what, this is all very strange to me and you are 
not helping, 
legolas” she replied sitting up in the huge bed. “Where are you from 
kim?” he asked from 
the armchair where he was seated on the other side of the room. “ I’m 
from Philadelphia, 
Pennsylvania…I came to New Zealand on my vacation. My parents let me 
roam the 
woods surrounding my hotel and I got lost and I ran into this huge 
thing that really 
smelled…”
“you mean an orc?”
“yea ok an orc…anyway then I saw you and you said yourrname was legolas 
and……hey 
has frodo shown up yet with the ring?” she asked but he must have found 
it offensive 
because he immediately stood up. “HOW do you know about the ring?” he 
interrogated.
