Hello there, my name is Sharae Galloway. Here's just a short introduction of myself, I'm a second year college student, twenty years young, shy upon first meeting but a really nice outgoing gal once you get to know me. I'm 5'7 and an Aquarius. And I am very, very late for school today!

I grabbed my bag and threw it into my car. In my rush I slammed my shin into the car door. I sucked in my breath and with tears prickling my eyes I started the car and drove out of my driveway. I was absolutely not making the train today. I cursed myself for sleeping in. My car was old, a '93 Land Cruiser, I'd named him Grandpa. Old but reliable… with horrible gas mileage! Luckily I'd filled up the tank yesterday and I was prepared for my forty-mile journey to school.

"Next time you won't stay up so late will you?" I berated myself.

I turned down the corner of my street and sped along to the intersection. I stopped at the red light and nervously tapped my fingers across the steering wheel. The light flashed green and I hit the gas, lurching my car into the intersection. I heard a long loud honk and I turned my head just in time to see a white car speed into my door. My head smashed into the side window. Though it seemed like slow motion it was over very quickly.

I was stunned for quite some time, I finally moved and reached up to my head, which was throbbing considerably. Pulling my hand away I noticed a fair amount of blood.

"Dang it!" I scowled.

I cut the engine and whipped my head up in anger, which only made my head throb more, and glared out my side window. No smoking wreck, no intersection. I stared out at a wide valley of golden grass and green bushes. Boulders spattered the area. There wasn't a soul around.

I gaped out at the landscape for a long time. My mind unable to figure out what was happening. My hands shook and my heart started ramming in my chest. I sat quietly trying to think of something, anything I could do to bring my mind back to some sense. I reached across my car slowly and grabbed my cellphone. There were not any bars. I tried anyway, fumbling with the buttons on my phone trying to dial my mother's number. The phone rang, and rang, and rang. There wasn't an answer. Panicking again, I went through all the contacts I had, dialed the police, punched in any numbers I could think of, tears were beginning to form in my eyes. All the time my headache worsened.

My heartbeat quickened and I reached for the door handle. I pushed on the door and it screeched in protest resisting the pressure. I scooted my legs around and kicked it fiercely in my anxiety until it flung open with a groan.

I nearly fell out of the car in my haste. My boots crunched on the grass. There wasn't a car, or a person, or building to be seen. My mind whirred and I braced myself against Grandpa trying to get my bearings.

"What the heck just happened?" I pinched my arm trying to wake myself from whatever dream this was. Nothing faltered. The grass still beat against my boots and pressure of the car on my back remained, still and firm. The tears were threatening to come again. What was happening? Where was I? My breathing quickened as I began to panic.

Before my mind could worry about the matter any further a terrible, guttural shout sounded across the area. My heart leapt into my throat and I jumped into a defensive position.

"What in the world… was that?!" I whispered to myself. My arms had acquired a fine amount of goose bumps.

That had not been a natural sound. I quickly spun around and jumped back into the safety of my car. I yanked the resisting door closed and sat as still as possible, holding my breath, listening for the sound again. It came, to my horror, this time closer. It echoed across the rocks menacingly.

I whipped my seatbelt around myself and started my car up again. The timing belt screeched loudly before the engine roared to life.

"Great, looks like Grandpa's feeling that accident." I mumbled unhappily.

I hit the gas; there was no way I was sticking around to meet whatever was making those awful sounds. I sped in, what I hoped to be, the opposite direction of the sounds but had to slam on my breaks as a herd of… rabbits?! crossed in front of me. They were gone in half a second and as I looked after them I noticed a wooden sleigh following behind, a little hunched figure with a long wooden staff latched onto it. The scene looked all too familiar and my mind strained to remember. It kind of reminded me of a funny little wizard from a movie I'd recently seen. I mean, he was on a sled… pulled by rabbits… wait.

"R… Radagast?!" I nearly shouted. "What in the world?" I whispered to myself eyes following him as they disappeared behind a boulder. My mind spun. I'd watched the new movie "The Hobbit" a few weeks ago, and what I had seen brought the picture right back to my mind.

Why in the world was I seeing this quirky little wizard? Why were he and I even in the same world? Fiction, Radagast was a fictional character! Once again I wondered as to where I had unceremoniously been transported.

My mind switched over to something more important at the moment. At this point in the movie, if I was seeing the real, true Radagast the Brown, then he was undoubtedly being hunted down by a pack of… something shot past me, furry and snarling. Another was soon to follow. My mouth hung open as another slowed and turned in my direction, a distorted ugly being upon it's back.

"ORCS," I gasped in terror. The warg underneath the orc snarled ferociously and charged toward me.

"No way," I whispered, "No way, no way, no way, NO WAY!" I screamed as the warg lunged onto the hood of my car. In my panic I slammed the gas pedal to the floor and the car lurched forward. The wargs claws raked a across the metal. I apologized to Grandpa profusely. The warg flew off after a sharp jerk of the steering wheel.

In my haste I'd driven myself right into a pack of stampeding wargs and orcs. I wove through them, screaming all the while. I came horribly close to hitting one of the giant wolf things. The orc on its back swung his mace and bashed my side mirror off. I screamed and swerved away from his next attack. Breaking through the pack, I slowed my speed to maneuver around the boulders in my path. I tried to lose myself amongst them hoping the orcs wouldn't find me. My rearview mirror had never seen such use.

As I curved around another boulder I had to slam onto my breaks again. This time I'd almost ran into a scowling dwarf and a serious looking wizard. We hesitated to look at each other in pure shock before there was a snarl and a warg leapt from the rock above them. An arrow flew from somewhere and a whole group of dwarves came from hiding to finish off the screaming creatures. The noises were horrendous and left me with a grimace on my face.

Before anyone could do anything else howls could be heard in the distance. They were getting nearer. The pack was heading our way. The wizard yelled and the dwarves scuttled off in the opposite direction, leaving me to stare after them in stunned silence. My brain finally clicked on and I hit the gas speeding after them. It's sad to say I caught up to them in a matter of seconds but while a dwarf might run fast, they were no match for 212 horsepower.

I quickly drove past the group and swerved in front of them. I opened my door and jumped out opening the passenger doors and flinging the top of the trunk open.

The dwarves, still running at top speed, noticed the odd girl shouting and waving ahead of them. She motioned to the odd contraption behind her

"Get in" She yelled across to them. Thorin glanced at Gandalf. The wizard looked back to him with a knowing smile.

"Will we be taking her up on this offer Master Dwarf?" He huffed in his steady jog. The dwarf frowned disapprovingly. Gandalf tilted his head "I do not think she offers us harm," He added pointedly. Fili and Kili joined in.

"Did you see how fast that thing went?" asked Fili. "We could be well out of here before the wargs even catch up!" Shouted Kili. Thorin's lip twitched. "Uncle! Come on!" They shouted together. Thorin sighed deeply.

"If this get's us all killed…" he muttered. Fili and Kili smiled.
