A/N: I have decided to go a bit funny on this.
Chapter nine, I was let out.
"Uuurrrggghhh!" Shade growled. "There has got to be something in here I an use to pick the lock!"
Shade had combed the whole room what seemed like a thousand times, and still could not find something to pick the lock on the door. Shade stormed over to the bed and sat down facing a full-length mirror on one of the walls.
She looked at her face in the mirror. **I wonder if Boromir will notice this.** She sat and thought of Boromir and what he might be thinking of at that moment, and what of the Orcs had they hurt him, or killed him? Suddenly anger bubbled up in her, she wanted to smash the mirror to break into a million peaces, sharp little peaces that would cover the floor. Then Shade realized that was it! She could break the mirror and us one of its peaces to pick the lock, and get out, hell she could even use one of the peaces as a weapon in case she ran into any Orcs.
She got up and walked over to the mirror balled up her fist and smashed it right in the center. Shards of glass fell like rain, and glittered like diamonds. Shade bent down and selected one of the lager peaces it was about eight inches long and triangular in shape. Perfect for her task at hand.
**Now for the lock. It looks old so I may just be able to pull this off. I wish I had paid more attention to Pippin when he showed me this in Lothlorien.** Shade pressed her ear up against the door, and began her work. It took along time and Shade was beginning to think it was hopeless when she heard the satisfying click of the lock. "Yes!" Shade whispered to herself.
She quietly turned to knob, ever so slowly and opened the door with equal care. There may be guards. Shade stuck her head out and looked around. No guards, that was odd. **Oh well, best not to look a gift horse in the mouth.**
Shade ran down the hallway looking over her shoulder all the while. **Home free!!** She yelled triumphantly in her mind. **Not an Orc in sight. I never though I could have this much luck**
That luck was ill spent however she had run another step before she hit something. Shade flew back and landed hard on her rear looking up she saw what or rather who she ran into, it was Saruman.
"Going somewhere are we?" The wizard asked quizzically. He had his staff though, to Shade it did not look like he needed it.
Shade looked as if she had been struck dumb, she looked at Saruman, then over her shoulder, then back at Saruman. "N-no.of course not.I was let out, by some bad men. They said 'Get out of here.' And I said 'No Saruman wants me to stay here.' They pulled out their swords and told me that if I didn't leave they would kill me." Shade looked up at him eyes wide "I believed them to, so I left to find you, and here you are, so there are some men back there setting people free all willy nilly. You better got check it out." Shade waved her arm in the direction in which she had just run from.
Saruman looked at her as if she had grown a second head. Shade seeing as how excuse did not work. Garbed the man's staff before he could regain his bearings and hit him over the head with it, stunning him, she dropped the staff and ran in the direction of the nearest exit.
**I so dead! Dead dead dead! I gotta get out of here before he gets up!** there were no doors to escape from, though just windows. But when your out of options a window islike a gate way to heaven. Shade stopped at the window she was passing and looked out of it.
She was fifty feet up in the air, there was water below her, and as she looked closer she saw. **Pippin! Merry! And a.tree? Is it moving?** Shade heard a groan from down the corridor, Saruman was getting up.
No other chose, Shade broke the window, and looked down. "Merry, Pippin, weird tree thing! I'm jumping!"
"Shade! What are you doing!" Pippin looked up horrified and surprised at the same time.
"Jumping!" And with that Shade leapt off out of the window aiming for the water below. She straighted out her body, forming a line. The air was rushing past here she could hear Merry and Pippin gasp and then she hit the water.
It was like knives stabbing her. The air was all forced from her lungs and she sank towards the bottom. Shade looked up and could see the shimmering of the light see the surface but she couldn't get to it, it was too far up. She reached up, and a strong hand grabbed her arm and pulled her to the surface.
Gasping for breath, She lay on her back, soaking wet and freezing. Three forms where above her, one much larger than the others.
"All you all right little one?" The tree thing asked. "I pulled you up, and thought you where dead."
"Oh, well if I am dead, then at least I'm with friends." Shade said coughing up water. "What you guys been up to?" Shade leaned over to Pippin.
"Lots, this is Treebeard, we met him just after we escaped. And he and the other ents, defeated the Orcs and Saruman." Pippin was practically jumping up and down. "We thought you were dead, Shade! What happened?"
"Nothing much, the usual questioning." Shade began to wring her shirt out. "I told him I didn't know, and it was his fault all this happened, and," A glint that would have put Pippins to shame came into her eyes. "That he wears a dress."
Pippin and Merry burst out laughing, and Treebeard gave a chuckle.
"You really said that?" Merry asked trying to support a still laughing Pippin.
"Yup, you should have heard him yell. I thought he was going to kill me." Shade turned to face Treebeard. "So you're an Ent, I was wondering what Saruman was talking about. Well thanks for pulling me out of the water, it would have looked pretty bad if I had escaped Orcs and an evil wizard, only to drown during my getaway."
"Your welcome, Shade, the Hobbits told me of you."
"They did? Nothing too bad I hope."
"Not at all, little one. As a matter of fact it was almost because of you that I was able, to get the other Ents to help me storm Isengard." Treebeard looked at her thoughtfully. "They did not want you be put to a horrible death after helping the hobbits escape. Though judging you daring getaway," He looked up and chuckled alittle to himself "I think don't think we helped."
"Oh, yes you did. There was not an Orc in sight up there. Just Saruman."
"Going to his tower no doubt."
Pippin ran up to her, and tugged on her arm like an over eager child. "The others should be arriving soon, we should go and greet them."
"Yes, your right." Shade walk away thinking of Boromir.
A/N: I hoped you liked it, I sort of went with this picture I had in my mind. I thought it would be funny so I worked it in. REVIEW!
