Part I: Helms Deep- 'It's a Trick!'
We are preparing to fight. The Elves have come to help us, but the orcs still greatly outnumber us. Thousands of them are marching on the wall of Helms Deep. Then, just as suddenly as they come, they stop. What I suppose is the head orc is standing on a giant rock a few yards from the wall with something in his arms. It is a being, but I can not see what sex or if it was man or elf. I know it isn't a dwarf; no dwarf is either that tall or-no offense to Gimli- that thin. It is raining which is making my sight and hearing even lesser than it already is. Legolas and I had gotten in a fight earlier. He was convinced that this was a lost cause and we would and all of the men would die-this was before the elves came- and I said I would die as one of them. I silently curse at myself and focus back on the matter at hand. Haldir leans over to me and speaks.
"It is a young woman. She is struggling against him. She is here against her will. Also, she is injured-there is something wrong with her right leg," he explains. A growl comes from deep in my throat that surprises both I and Haldir. Orcs are fowl beasts that harm anything and anyone in their paths and I hate everything about them. Haldir gasped suddenly.
"What is it?" I ask on instinct.
"He has a knife to her neck." Haldir turned to face me. "He is going to kill her." We both turn to hear the orc yell up at us.
"Where is your leader?" they ask. Théoden steps up beside me.
"Here. I am the leader you are looking for," Théoden yells back. The orcs laugh.
"We would like to make a deal," he yells.
"Don't listen to him!" the woman screams franticly. "I'm not worth it! Just frikin' kill 'em, kill 'em all! Aaaahhhhhhh!" I can tell by the sound of terror in her voice that the orc has hurt her, but I don't know how. I lean over to Haldir to ask him what is happening, but before I can speak, he does.
"She is fine, Estel, he has just tightened his grip on her." This makes me sigh in relief. Haldir chuckles at me.
"This is no time to laugh, I am merely worried for her safety," I softly tell him off. Legolas and Gimli come up beside us.
"What's going on? Why aren't we fighting?" Gimli asks. Haldir and I quickly explain the situation to the three, then we hear another scream.
"Ahhh! Let go of me you fucking bastard! Fucking shit, you're worse than my dad! You bastard, go fuck yourself!" I hear a yell of rage from the orc.
"What in the name of Valar is going on down there?!?!" I half yell to the elves beside me. Legolas quickly explains.
"He cut her neck; she stepped on his foot and is now running through the orcs towards the gates." There is only one plus about orcs: their intelligence level is very low. I could see the orcs form a path for her. One orc tries to go after her, but before he gets very far I hear an arrow sing out of a bow beside me and it hits the orc in the throat. She gets to the bridge safely-mostly hopping on one foot I might add- but now she is an easy target for the archers. She dodges arrows left and right until finally one hits her in the arm; then they stop and she stops and turns to where the arrow came from.
"I know that was you, Gilfold, and that hurt you damn shitface!" she screams and keeps running. I start making my way towards the entrance...
Mwahahahaha, cliffe! TBC
