Chapter Number: 16
Chapter Title: Attempted Escape
Original Chapter Title: Elle and Orc talk.
The orc ran blindly into the woods with Elanor swung crudely over its shoulder. With each bump and turn Elanor groaned. Trees flew past her face and her shoulder began to bleed. 'Soon,' she thought ' I will be fully unable to defend myself and the monster might do as he pleases with me if he doesn't find the ring in my possession.' The orc had obviously no idea where it was going or why it was running so far away when it knew it had run far enough. So it stopped and threw her against a tree. Her eyes began to cloud with tears. As her wounds began to come alive with pain.
"Where is it." It snarled.
"What do you seek." Elanor managed to breathe laboriously.
"You know what I seek halfling! Where is it?"
"If you search the ring of power." She paused. "You are foolish."
"Do you have it? Do you have what my master seeks?"
"Your master..." Elle began but then she paused and glared at the roc. "Is displeased."
"Come halfling! How would you know if my master is displeased?" he growled kicking her in the stomach. Elle sputtered and she could feel her insides rise in her throat. In an attempted gasp for air they came tumbling out in a heap. The orc just rolled his eyes in impatience.
"I see the great eye." Elanor bravely continued, closing her eyes and taking a painful breath.
"Anyone who wears the ring of power is equal to the sight." Elanor baited. The orc seized her hands, yanking her to her feet by her wrists. It brought her face in front of its own. Its foul breath filled her senses and she tried to look away from its repulsive gaze.
"You do not wear the ring. How can you possibly see?" it taunted staring into her misty eyes.
"Anyone who wears the ring for but a second, bears its incredible power of sight. And the Hobbit you hold above the ground has worn the ring." She weakly tried to growl back as she felt the wetness on her face. For a second the orc didn't know what to do. Afraid, it again threw Elanor to the ground.
"You are no use to me." The orc stated and it took out its blade.
"You are in great peril." Elanor tried to cover for she could feel herself weakening. "Run." Puzzled, the orc paused and looked around excitedly.
"Your master has seen your mistake." She continued beginning to bring her head up. "You are a failure" In confusion it gnashed its teeth together and took a few paces back.
"If you leave me for your master when he comes, he will forget about terminating your existence. Or so the great eye has shown me." She added sickly before passing out into the soft mass of the roots. The orc looked around and screamed in anger before running off into some different direction of the wood, leaving Elanor to the fate of the moss as much as if it were the fate of his master.
A.N.: ELLE: Am I cool, or what?
LAURI: Wow, that was smart Elle! Go you! You better get a move on and get back to me! I'm dying here! Literally! Lol Wow, only a few more chapters to go! I'll prolly post all the rest of this fic next time. Then we can start posting the second part. (yes, this has 3 parts. ) I can't wait! Please R/R
