Once again it took me a long time to update, but asthma is running my life at the moment, and since I lost my inhaler, it takes longer for me to get over the attacks. As I promised this one will be about Pippin and a little bit longer, hopefully.

When the orc saw the small creature running off, he gave chase. He didn't get far until he realized that he would never catch up with it. Its only other alternative was to stop it by force. He pulled out his bow and an arrow, placed the arrow on the string and pulled it back. He aimed for the shoulder, hoping it wouldn't damage it too much, and fired. The shot was well aimed, for it pierced the shoulder perfectly, bringing down the Hobbit.
"You think we killed it?" The other orc asked, approaching Pippin.
"No, I think it is still among the living." He replied, and to prove his point, he kicked Pippin's stomach hard with his metal boot.
Pippin let out a tiny moan when the orc viciously kicked him, but still remained unconscious. The orcs, not knowing what to do with him, picked him up and slung him over one of their shoulders, the arrow still lodged deeply in his shoulder.
"Where do you think the rest are?" The second orc asked.
"I don't know, but they have probably left the mines after the rest of the intruders. I suppose we better find them." He replied.
"Yeah, what way do you want to go?" The second one inquired.
"To the bridge, I think that is where his friends went." The first orc said, gesturing to the limp body slung over his shoulder.
Once the two orcs reached the bridge, they saw a gang of other orcs. Seeing this pleased the two immensely.
"Eirak, what have you got there?" One of the other orcs asked.
"One of the intruders, had to shoot him though. Hope the poison doesn't do too much damage." Laughed Eirak, the first orc.
"We figured you and Lukuck got killed by those filthy humans and that nasty elf." Said another orc.
Eirak and Lukuck followed the rest of the orcs across a narrow path leading outside the mines. The path was hidden to those who didn't know it existed. Though all the rough treatment, Pippin remained unconscious, unaware of the impending danger.

Ok, maybe that was a little short, but that is all I have time for now. I promise to update sooner from now on. Sorry for the cheesiness of this chapter, the rest will be better. And this story will have a lot more chapters. May the Force be with you…Luke Skywalker
