Arathoniel awoke, stripped to virtually nothing, her left shoulder aching from the near death she had taken from Frodo. The smell that sickened her so just hours earlier was now filling her senses to the point of breaking. It pained her whole body to simply breath it in. It was not, however, just the burning flesh of man, it was the wretched stench of those beasts. The evil that they released into the very air that surrounded them. She struggled to open her eyes and survey her surroundings.
It took only moments to realize that she would be going nowhere. She tested the bonds on her wrists, but found to be true what she had guessed at just moments before. They were too strong for her to undo. Saruman himself may as well have created them. Her clothing had been reduced to virtually nothing. She could feel where those disgusting animals had touched her, tried to violate her. She wondered what had stopped them. She grimaced at the pain in her side. Musing to herself, she couldn't stop the laughter that suddenly erupted. "At least I still have my hair."
"Quiet, Elf," one of the Uruks slid his sword over her bare middle, "Or I will have no problem quieting you."
Elf? What fools the Uruks were.
"I am no Elf," Arathoniel's teeth were tightly ground, her anger at these beings caused her to seethe.
"Ah, do you wish to have your liar's tongue removed? It would do me great pleasure to watch the torture of one so lovely as you. The White Wizard, he tells us what you are, you dirty Elven..."
"QUIET, fool Uruk," an Orc grabbed the forearm of the large beast, "Speak not a word to this witch. She is beguiling. She'd have one as foolish as you enthralled in no time. Leave her be."
Arathoniel watched as the Uruk-hai warrior quickly overpowered his Orc counterpart. The Orc, in no time, was being torn limb from limb. Orc blood was being spread from tree to tree. She gasped and closed her eyes tightly as the Uruk took his first bite of the Orc's flesh. She could hear him tearing into it again and again. Her stomach turned and she retched. Though nothing came up, she retched just the same. The last sound she heard was the cry of Uruk-hai in battle before she was plunged into darkness again.
