The air lingered with the odour of sweat and heat. The sun was blazing down and Tauriel was sipping a mango slushy in the corner of her local coffee shop. Her hands were wrapped around the cool cup when her stomach dropped.

She was plunged down a hole.

A deep dark hole.

Her mouth was forming silent words and her green eyes were wide...

 

Suddenly she saw the dirty cobble getting closer and closer to her but she sailed lightly down, due to the active currents. In a flash her phone was in her hands, her fingers punching familiar numbers. "That won't work here, you're alone now..." A low voice sounded bringing her back to reality.

 

Tauriel whipped her head round to see a 15yr old boy with golden hair and a relieved face. "Who..." She started but he hushed her hastily.
