Thank you to everyone who has reviewed! Wow, 67! *beams proudly* I love you all and I hope everyone likes this story.
I finally have more inspiration to write (even though I shouldn't as I have a test tomorrow -_-;; Why do I only write when I have something more important to do?) so here's the new chapter. Not many more to go! I hope to have 90 reviews by the end of this story. Review PLEASE!
Chapter 10
Rowen sat in the darkness of cell, her arms around her pulled up legs. She shivered and fingered her necklace.
"So much trouble for such a small thing" she muttered to herself.
She sighed and let the stone drop back to hang at her throat. She looked up and the shadowed ceiling.
"Where are you father..Legolas." She soon as she said that she paused. "Why am I expecting Legolas to save me? He only wants my hand for my title and money." She brushed tears away from her eyes.
Rowen froze when she heard voices from below her. Realizing that she was sitting on the trap door she quickly moved.
"Where do we put 'em?"
"Put them in 'ere."
"But a'int that where the elf miss is?"
"Put 'em in there."
The trapdoor opened and two objects were thrown in the cell with her. One of the objects moaned.
Rowen ran over to them.
"Hello?"
The two people sat up.
"Who are you?" she tried again.
"Meridoc Brandybuck. Call me Merry" One said.
"Perigrin Took. Call me Pippin" Said the other.
Rowen gasped. "You are the hobbits that Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas were looking for! What are you doing here?"
Merry rubbed his head.
"We were captured a couple of weeks ago. We've been dragged along with the band of orcs since then."
Rowen's brow furrowed. "You traveled through the forest to get her, didn't you?"
Merry nodded his head.
"Well, then why didn't we hear about it? My father has elves patrolling the forest constantly. They should have reported a band of orcs roaming through with two prisoners."
Pippin winced. "W-well, we did come across elves in he forest.." he trailed off.
Rowen's eyes grew wide and she sunk back to a kneeling position. "T-they killed them?"
Merry and Pippin nodded slightly.
Pippin went over and patted her on the shoulder. "Don't worry, we will get them back."

The company had paused for the night in the forest to laying out their plans for the next day.
"Saruman has too many Orcs. We cannot make a full frontal assault." Aragorn was saying.
"But most of his Orcs are out abroad" Gimli argued.
Gandalf shook his head. "We'd do best with a surprise attack. That way we can occupy them and then someone can go and rescue Lady Rowen, Merry, and Pippin."
Legolas nodded his head. "I will go save them while you distract them. I can slip in and out unnoticed."
"Then it's settled," Aragorn said. "We will attack on the morrow and Legolas will sneak into the castle and find Rowen, Merry and Pippin."
