Journey to Middle Earth // Thorin Oakenshield

Chapter 2

Sara shook her head again. When she looked up, she was still in Rohan. This was starting to really scare her but at the same time, she had a surge of excitement. She was in middle earth! She would always daydream about what it would be like to live there and now, she was experiencing it full throttle!

There was a knock at the door and Sara grabbed the shawl by the bed. Wrapping it over her nightgown, she answered the door. Standing there was a lovely girl of about nine with golden hair.

"Hello miss," the girl said. "I'm Theodwyn. Theoden's sister."

Sara smiled and opened the door wider, "Hello Theodwyn. I'm Sara."

"I know," the girl said sweetly. "Everyone is talking about you. Everyone is wondering where you came from and what race you are."

"Race?" Sara asked then it suddenly dawned on her.... she was in middle earth! There were elves, dwarves, wizards.... wait.... was she still human?

"Well I'm honestly kind of lost myself but I'm quite sure I'm human," Sara replied.

"You're petite for a human," Theodwyn pointed out. "Though it's not unknown for some humans to be petite.

Sara smiled, "I get it from my mother. She was petite too."

Theodwyn caught sight of Mason who lay on the large bed and running over, she fondled his ears, "WHat's his name?"

"Mason," Sara replied, smiling.

The little girl stroked the dog one more time before hopping up with determination in her stance, "I almost forgot. I came here to help you get ready for the meeting."

"Meeting?" Sara asked.

the little girl nodded as she headed to the closet and began to look through the clothes, "Father has called a meeting of all the elders in Rohan. He also invited a few other friends. They're going to try and help you."

"Oh that is very kind of them," Sara remarked.

Just then, Theodwyn returned from the closet with a lovely cotton dress that fell almost to the floor with a green corset top and creamy white skirts and sleeves.

Sara smiled as she took the dress and walked behind the curtain. She quickly pulled it on and marveled at how well it fit and how comfortable it was. When she came out, Theodwyn walked behind her to do the straps.

"Mother always said green was my color," Sara said, a sad look crossing her face.

Theodwyn sensed the girl's sorrow, "DO you have any other family back home?"

Sara nodded, "My brothers..... oh no!"

"What is it?" the girl asked, startled at Sara's outburst, "What happened?"

"The boys were in the accident with me!" Sara gasped, clapping a hand to her mouth, "Where are they.... did they survive....and Pierce....oh Pierce."

"Sh," Theodwyn comforted, stroking the older girl's red hair, "Its alright. I promise my father will help you. And he will help you find your brothers."

Sara shook her head, "I don't think anything will help me find them now."

TIME SKIP

About thirty minutes later Theodwyn led Sara out of the chamber and down the hallway to the great hall where the meeting was being held. When the little girl pushed the door open, Sara found Theoden standing inside the door, one hand on the small sword at his side, watching the adults talking.

"Hello Sara!" the boy greeted, grinning.

"Hello Theoden," Sara said, bowing her head respectfully.
