Five Months Later...
Location: Canada.

A woman with her hair pulled back was whipping down a countertop. "Holly. Did you hear that?" Her co-worker asked. She looked up and said, "It sounds like someone outside in the back. Could be those raccoons again. I can go check it out."

"You sure you do not want me to?" Her co-worker said as she grabbed a frying pan and a can of pepper spray.

"No. I am good," She replied waving her frying pan at him. She stepped outside and looked around holding her frying pan up. She heard rustling and held up the pepper spray as a tall man stepped out of the shadows. She screamed and sprayed the pepper spray. The guy stumbled back holding his eyes and then with a quick flick of her wrist the pan she held smashed him in the face.

They fell on the ground and groaned and grumbled out, "What in Valar's name is your issue?!"

She looked down at him and back up. She went to the back door and called, "Hey! Don! Can you come here? Please? It is not raccoons."

Her coworker came out and said, "What are you talking about- oh." He stopped talking when he saw the person sitting up holding there nose and their eyes where read.

"Why don't you go inside...see if we have any clothes in the back and maybe a blanket." He said to her. She nodded and went inside and he took over his jacket and handed it over.

"Here. You may want to use this to cover your self up a bit until we can get you some proper clothes," He said handing over the jacket.

The elf looked up at him and frowned. "Who are you?" He asked.

"A friend. You can call me Gildor and you are?" He asked.

"Curufin," The elf said. Gildor's eyes widened for a moment but he just quickly nodded.

"Holly? Do we have any extra clothes?" Gildor called as he walked in with Curufin.

"Yeah. I found somethings in the lost and found, they are right by the fridge." She called. Curufin looked at him as he grabbed a small stack of clothes and handed them over.

"Here. I hope they fit," He said. "I'll be out front when you're ready. You most likely have a lot of questions."

Curufin just nodded and once Gildor left Curufin changed into the clothes that were there. They were a bit big but they worked. He walked out to the front of the store and looked at the girl who wacked him.

"Hey. Sorry about wacking you with frying pan and the pepper spray," She said.

"The what?" Curufin asked.

"Never mind, here for your nose," she said holding out a bag. Curufin looked at the bag and back at her.

"It's cold. It can stop swelling for your nose...the pain in your eyes will pass." She said.

Curufin just gave a small nod and took the bag and put it on his nose and sat down. He was suprised that it was cold but chose not to say anything. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gildor smirk a bit but was unsure why.

"So. Gildor...what is happening here?" Curufin asked.

"What is the last thing you remember?" Holly asked.

"Dying. Now, I want to know where I am and what is going on," He replied.

"Uh...I am not sure how to tell you this but this is the 21st century. The ages and worlds of middle earth and Valinor have long passed out of knowledge and history. They do not exsist...well except for a few like me and Holly. I chose not to sail and Holly is a half-elf who also chose not to sail." Gildor said.

"So. It is the future," Curufin said.

"Many. Many years into the future." Holly said.

Curufin nodded and put the bag down and rubbed his face. His mind was spinning a bit the last thing he remembered was the sting of a blade and then darkness then just while ago he appeared in some body of water and he was in the middle of a world he did not recognize. He wondered around and then ran into this Holly girl who had taken him out with a small bottle and a frying pan. He then looked up as the two of them started talking.

She gave a nod and pulled something from her pocket and he stared at it. "What is that?"

"A cellphone," Gildor said as he then explained what a phone was. He nodded as he spoke he got a quick understanding of it. It had the ability to contact someone in any location as long as that person and one of those devices as well.

"I take it you have more questions," Gildor said.

"I have a lot," He replied.

"Well feel free to ask me, I'll explain the best I can," Gildor said. Curuifn started asking questions about the world and what happened. Gildor did his best to explain all he can and was thankful when Holly came back and said, "Okay. Someone who can help you much better is coming here."

"Who?" Curufin asked.

"A friend of mine who knows a lot more about your situation," Holly said.

Curufin gave a nod and asked, "My situation?"

"Yes. There are not some others who have been in your situation and who can help you out." Gildor replied. Curufin nodded was and rubbed his eyes a bit and put the bag back on his nose.

"When are they here?" He asked.

"A few hours...do you want coffee or anything to drink?" Asked Holly.

"Coffee?" Curufin asked.

"It's a drink. I can get you some." She replied and went about getting him a drink. A few minutes later she handed him a mug. Curufin put the bag down and he picked up the drink he took a long sip of it. He blinked and said, "This is very good."

She nodded and sat down by the counter. He went back to drink the drink and he looked up as Gildor went to talk to Holly off to the side. She shrugged when they finished and walked back over. She walked back over and asked, "Are you hungry at all?"

"Not really," Curufin asked and continued to drink the mug. He then stopped drinking and began to wonder if any of his brothers were alive. He also wondered why these elves were not treating him badly since most people do not like any of the Feanors.

"I do have a question," Curufin said.

"Yes?" She asked.

"Most people do not like Feanor or his sons," Curufin asked.

"A long time passed. Most elves who did not sail gave up on being bitter about things." She said. "Also, Gildor came from Rivendell and Elrond who ruled over Rivendell. He talked about how the sons of Feanor were not as bad as people claim."

"Who is Elrond?" He asked.

"You know what. That is not important right now," She said. Curufin nodded and finished his drink. He rubbed his face. The pain he felt in his nose and eyes were easing up. He sighed and a bit and settled back. This was all very strange and over the next few hours, Gildor and Holly explained more about this world. Curufin just listened and nodded. After a few hours, he looked up when the door opened and a guy walked in and looked at Curufin.

"Hello," He said and nodded to Curufin.

"Who are you?" Curufin asked.

"My name is Agent Kane," He said. "Holly called me and told me about the situation. Now, please come with me I can get you some proper clothes and a place to stay before I can take you to England so you can meet with a partner of mine."

"England?" Curufin asked.

"It's a place. My partner is dealing with most of the reborn elves." He said. "Also, I can explain much more about the details about you coming back and about how the world is."

"I see," Curufin said nodding. He stood up and said, "Alright, let's go. I want to find out all I can about this world."

"I figured," He replied. "My car is outside."

"Car?" Curufin asked. Kane smiled and explained quickly about what a car was. Curufin just nodded and followed Kane out.

Gildor let out a breath and said, "They were right. Things are getting strange,"

"Alton said they would," Holly said with a light shrug. The two went back to work as Holly saw the car drive off and went back to her work.
