SO sit tight, keep your hands and feet in the vehicle at all times, thank you, and read again! The song in this fic, is by my fave band…No Doubt, and it's called Suspension without Suspense…Hmm, Remind you of my story? Lol jk.

Chapter 13 ::Orcs::

Tara had rode for three days, and no one was on her tail…Well hopefully. There had been warnings about Orcs in the nearby area's and she was fearful to leave…But seeing Legolas would be worse. She felt dumb, She had forgotten to give back the necklace. But he had the ring now. That's all that mattered. Her heart was broken. She felt empty. Maybe a song would help.

She thought for a moment as to what she should sing. And then it came to her,

My divorce from dependence
That's when you found me
I was still soft
And we always were in trouble
Odds stacked against us
And trouble's what we are

We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
We're playing it again
Suspension without suspense

Now that I've murdered your inspiration
And I forced you off
Do you hate me?
Do you want revenge?
I want to call you
But I won't

We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
We're playing it again
Suspension without suspense

Oh the pessimistic protection plan
Moderation loving
I've been hardened by the circumstance
We knew this was coming

We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
We're playing it again
Suspension without suspense

We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
We're playing it again and again
Suspension without suspense
Intentions without intent
But I don't want the love we have to end."

She stopped and looked around, there was no noise. No birds, nor chirps from crickets…it had gone silent. And then there was a grunt. Tara spun around, Orcs she thought. There was about forty orcs surrounding her and Emerald. Tara had spaced out during her song, a bad move.

She drew her sword and chopped off three or four orcs. They were slowly closing in on her, Emerald drew up and knocked Tara off her back, and darted into the woods. "Shit."

Tara fought hard, but there was too many to kill. She stabbed one orc in the stomach, and did not notice one come up from behind her. She took a blunt object to the head, and saw no more.

(Back at the Palace in Mirkwood.)

Legolas stood pacing the throne room.

"What do you mean she's Gone?" He asked not looking at anyone.

"M'lord she asked Jasuse to let her get out of the gates, and he let her go."

It's all my fault, she saw my ledger, I read her note…I ruined it. All of it.

Lilly waltzed into the throne room, "So I see your "precious" is gone?" She said so sweetly that you could almost see the sticky substance.

Legolas looked up, "GET OUT. GUARDS GET HER OUT." Lilly was drug off.

"Send out search parties, search everywhere! I want her found…I have to have her back."

The guards departed.

(Back at Tara's location.)

The smell of them was the worse. The things they did to her, was worse then the smell. She was no longer safe from harms way. The Orcs made her walk, without stopping. They had her hands bound. The ropes rubbing her already aching wrists. She was starving, wet, and cold, not to mention tired.

She looked around her locations. Nothing she could remember. She made sure she had dropped her necklace back when they had first begun to bind her hands.

She could only hope someone would look for her.
