I got a bit confused on the timeline here so sorry if any of this doesn't make much sense according to the book or the movie!

*Kimberley's P.O.V*
I'd finally learned the date, 20th of March, I knew that the battle of Pelennor Fields had happened and that Sauron knew of the host Aragorn was bringing to the Black Gate was coming. Bloody Hell did he throw a temper at the outcome on Pelennor Fields. I could hear him smashing random bits of what I assumed was furniture up. Once I had heard a scream, I flinched hoping nobody was hurt too badly.
Only five days left here. Keeping what I know secret for only five more days. I thought of Frodo and Sam. Poor buggers, going through all that crap, and the worst is yet to come. Stupid damn idiot! It's his fault entirely. I couldn't help but feel sorry for the Nardil and the other servants that I had seen, not the orcs though, here at Barad-Dur, they would die when the tower fell, if they didn't get out soon. Great, absolutely great, I'm not even twenty yet and I'm about to die in some weird fictional hell-hole! I sang nursery rhymes in an effort to calm myself down a bit, before I managed to get myself into a full-blown hissy fit.
"If you go down to the woods today,
You're in for a big surprise.
If you go down to the woods today you'd better go in disguise.
For every bear that ever there was,
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.*"
"That were lovely, milady. Is that from your homeland?" I hadn't noticed Nardil come in. She could move like an elf when she wanted to, or maybe I'm just really bad at paying attention.
"Yeah, it's a nursery rhyme- one of the only ones I can remember the words to" I smiled at her. "And how many times have I told you stop with the 'milady' shit?"
"I should wash ye mouth out with soap!" She snapped back. I liked Nardil, she reminded me of my nana. She one of the only people I had seen since arriving here that I liked and I considered her my friend.
"Nah you need it all for the orcs, I can smell them all the way up here, the sweaty bastards." She snorted at that, "Actually on second thoughts, you'd be better keeping it. Nothin in the whole world is gonna make orcs smell anywhere near nice!"

March 23rd was when I first slipped up.
I looked up as the door opened and Sauron walked in. "What do you want; I'm sure it's not to bask in my presence?" I bored holes into his head with my icy glare.
"No- although your presence is welcoming as always" he said sarcastically, "I've decided to let you go" What!!!
"What! You don't really expect me to believe that do you?" My eyebrows shot up into my hairline.
"Yes- unless you would rather stay" He purred, barely repressing a shudder, I shook my head. "I thought not. You won't be going out the normal way, I've got a reputation to uphold" I gave him a bemused look, "Can't let everyone know I let a little girl go with no torture wounds to speak of, you would be taking the pass at Cirith Ungol."
Cirith Ungol… I've heard that before. Holy shit, my face paled and I involuntary shivered! That's the way Frodo, Sam and Gollum went, the bastard; he wants me fed to bloody Shelob. Ugh… I hate spiders.
"I'm not going that way- not in a million years! I'm not being eaten by your bloody spider! No-way "I said in a rush. Too late I realized what I had said to him, I slapped my hand across my mouth as I glanced at him. He was staring at me in disbelief.
"How do you know about Shelob?" Shit.
"Err…" Crapcrapcrapcrapcrap. "Well…err… I read about it." Damn he's going to find out about everything!
"Really. May I ask where you found a book with that in it?"His eyes were flashed with fire.
"Library" I said after a small pause. I don't do well under pressure, and I couldn't think of anything better to say. I could tell he didn't believe a word that was coming out of my mouth. Gripping my arm he led me out of the room, I was too scared to ask where we were going. I could hardly see where I was putting my feet; it was so dark in the hallway. I could see one lonely torch at the end of the corridor and didn't see another one after that. At last, after what seemed like ages we arrived outside a massive, and I mean humongous, door, it looked like it was made of black marble. There were two guards outside, from Harad by the looks of them, they quailed at the sight of the Dark Lord and hurried to push the doors open.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Oof… Sauron pushed me into a chair and I landed on my arse really hard. He gripped both arms on the chair and crouched in front of me, so that his face was about an inch from mine. He obviously didn't believe in personal space.
"Now tell me, where exactly did you learn about Shelob?" Hot breath fanned across my face when he spoke.
"I read about the spider in a book… at the library in my town," I wasn't lying, I really did learn about her in a book in a library. Please don't ask me which book, I prayed to whoever was listening. "Seriously, I did!"
"Hmm" I was tempted to shout, take a picture it lasts longer, at him, but I didn't think that would help at the moment. "And which book was this?" He asked.
Somebody upstairs really didn't like me! "Err…" Lie Kim, my subconscious shouted at me. Yeah that would help if he wasn't a bloody human-Maia- whatever, lie detector, I snapped back. I nearly jumped out of my skin at a sudden touch to the top of my thigh.
Aaaarrrrrrgh… I think I broke my toe! I'd kicked him when he touched me and he must have been wearing armor, seen as though my foot connected with his shin, and I was the one hurting. I looked up when I heard laughter, the dickhead was laughing at me. At the moment I wanted to punch every part of him I could reach.
"What was the name of the book?" he repeated, as he pinched my thigh. I could literally die of embarrassment right now!
"Spiders of the world." I said, trying not to blink when he looked at me. I felt his hand travelling up my thigh. My heartbeat started racing as I squirmed from his hand. "Okay. Okay- it wasn't that! It wasn't that!" His hand stopped a few inches away from my underwear, but he didn't move it away. My face was burning. I swallowed a few times then muttered, barely louder than a whisper, "Lord of the rings, It was called lord of the rings."
I glanced at him, when he failed to respond after a few minutes. I would have laughed at his expression, His eyes were big as saucers and his mouth had dropped open, if the situation had been any different. He blinked a few times, and then snapped his jaw shut, as if he'd only just realized it had been open.
"What is it about?" What do I say? I don't want what happened to change, if I can change anything here. Oh this is really confusing me.
"… It was about…err- well you really. I don't remember much of it, I read it ages ago." That was a bare-faced lie, but I hoped he was too shocked to notice.
"Me?!" I nodded at him.

After that he had questioned me for about two hours, but it seemed much longer. My butt fell asleep about halfway through. Miraculously I'd managed not to blurt out everything that was going to happen in a few days. I'd just told him vaguely as humanly possible, the plot, which I'd iffed in places. There was no point lying about Frodo, but I didn't tell him where he was or what he was trying to do. Nor did I tell him Sam was with him.
He had asked what happened at the end, there wasn't any way to get out of that, but it was funny when I told him he lost the war. I'd had to battle to keep a straight face, when he pretty much screeched out a few curses; I thought he'd forgotten how to breathe. When he asked how I just shrugged at him, he seemed to pass that off as a women's inability for war, I was too glad to get mad at that. Then he told me I was staying in here, so he could keep a closer eye on me. Apparently the room was his.

*Sauron's P.O.V*
How can I lose? I'm a thousand times stronger than them pathetic weaklings, who attempt to overthrow me. They do not have enough strength to defeat me!
Unless, one of them has my ring! Damn, stupid humans, stealing everything. I bet it's that heir of Isildur who has it! I'll make him wish he was never born when I get my hands on him!!! I could just squeeze the life out of someone right now. Deciding to torment Saruman a bit to blow off some steam, I made my way to the Palantir room. The servants seemed to realize I was in a foul mood and went out of their way to avoid me.
Placing my hands on either side of the ancient sphere, wrought by Feanor** I quieted my mind and let my conscious roam, seeking out Saruman's Palantir, when I found it, I nearly screamed out loud with rage. Instead of being in Orthanc, where it should be, it was in Rohan, of all places. That stupid excuse of a wizard, what was he thinking letting the enemy get their hands on that! I should kill him myself if he's not already dead.
Slamming the door shut, I stomped to the top of Barad-Dur to look through the great eye. The host was getting nearer; they would be here in two days! There were little more than two thousand in the host; I would crush them and their leaders as soon as I could, if they survived my orc army, which I doubted very much. Then I would tear through all the cities in Middle-earth, and weed the humans out first, then the elves and dwarfs, weeds of the world they were, and they needed pulling out. It was long overdue.

*Kimberley's P.O.V*
I was getting jumpy. Sauron wouldn't let me out of his sight, so I was forced to follow him around and judging by everybody's gloating expressions, I guessed the host would be here soon, and then everyone here would die, including me. Frodo and Sam would be nearing the cracks of doom. And to top it off, Mother Nature decided to visit me today, which was the most embarrassing experience of my life.
I was forced to ask Sauron to bring Nardil here, and he wouldn't till I told him why. My face burned a bright red as I said, choking on my words, "'I need her because… I've had my… err, monthly Visitor'". It took awhile before he realized what I meant. He looked like every other male when talking about periods, who would've guessed. My face was still a bit flushed now, probably, from that latest embarrassing incident. I wished for normal pads like back home, what they used here for that particular problem was a lot more uncomfortable and messy, in my opinion and you had to wash it then re-use.
At the moment I was sat at a large table with, what must have been the Generals in Saurons army, boring to say the least. I could barely sit still in my seat. The Generals kept glancing at me in disbelief. One man stepped forward and whispered something in Saurons ear. He was Horrible looking, with gamy, yellow teeth and a deathly pale complexion. I think it might have been the 'Mouth of Sauron' but I wasn't sure, but I do know he smelled disgusting. About ten minutes after the man left, I could hear thousands of iron boots pounding the ground, the army was marching out. It was all going to end soon.
When Sauron stood up, all the other men stood up, bowed and left. Turning to me he put his arm round my waist, which I tried to pull out off. No success as usual. He lead me up loads of stairs, I guessed we were going to the top of the tower. What I wasn't expecting was a small room with no windows and what looked like a periscope from a submarine protruding from the ceiling, which was quite low. I think that was how he looked through the big red eye thing. I couldn't believe it.
I was nearly rolling round on the floor laughing, the Dark Lord, looking through a periscope. I was Gasping for breath before long.
"What! What's so funny?" He said sounding bemused, I was laughing too hard to say anything so I just pointed at the periscope. He frowned at me then. He raised his eyebrows shaking his head and stepped toward the periscope.
Twenty minutes later, after his expression started to steadily turn sourer, he swirled the periscope round and looked in the opposite direction. I knew what happened then. Frodo had put the ring on. I couldn't keep a smile from my face. He turned around slowly and glowered at me when he saw my smile.
"You knew this was going to happen" He said, incoherent with rage. I nodded my head. He lunged at me grabbing my waist. I screamed at the top of my lungs when the tower started shaking. Sauron started screaming as well, he was heating up. The heat was unbearable, Sauron still had hold of me, and the pain was intolerable. I thought my head was going to explode.
Then nothing. It still felt like Sauron had hold of me though. I tried to move, and I realized I had no body. What the fuck!!!! I could see and hear but I had no eyes or ears, I couldn't explain it. I felt a presence in my mind. It was Sauron.
