Original Chapter Title: Capture
Elanor unscrewed the cap on her canteen. Drinking heavily she gazed up at the tree she was to climb. She set the water down and began shimming up the trunk.
"Are you at the top yet?" Lauri whispered.
"Not exactly." Elle whispered back.
"Good. I can't hear anybody but I feel something isn't right."
Elanor peeked over the tops of the branches and she could faintly make out Sam and Frodo following Gollum into the night.
"I see them. Everything is all right. They're okay. We can keep going now. Lauri?" The hobbit said in concern. She couldn't hear her friends voice answer anymore so she decided to climb down early to see that was going on. Elanor came to the last few branches of the tree so she decided to jump the rest. As soon as her feet hit the ground she saw that something was very wrong. Dozens of orcs surrounded her and had Lauri in a cage.
"Run Elle!" she screamed.
"Holy...." Elle began before an orc grabbed her by the ankles and swung her over his back. These orcs were monstrous, larger then your normal orc or goblin. These orcs had to be another creation of Saruman.

"Where are you taking us?" Lauri demanded to the orcs that were leading her to the tower of Isengard.
"You'll know soon elf." The biggest, and Lauri would have to say, ugliest of the crew spat.
Once again she struggled to escape, but the bars on the cage were hot, every time she touched them she had to pull her hand back quickly or be burnt. 'It must be some spell. I hate wizards.' "Hey ugly!" she called to the orc that was carrying Elanor. It briefly turned around to face her but then turned back to say something to another orc. This put Elanor, who was over the orcs shoulder, facing her elven friend.
"What the hell are you doing?" she cried quietly to Lauri.
"Trust me." Lauri said. "Yea I was talking to you!" she continued to the orc who turned again, "What? You don't like being called Ugly? Well now, you have been sheltered. Why don't you let me out of this cage? What's wrong? You think a girl can hurt you?!" she shouted.
With this the orc lurched forward into the searing hot bars, dropping the blonde hobbit to the ground. Lauri grabbed it around it's neck and began to strangle it to death. The orc roared in pain as it was burnt and strangled while all the other orcs watched, not noticing at all that one of the prisoners was escaping.
Lauri watched and made sure Elle was safely hidden in the woods before she grabbed an arrow out of her quiver with one hand still griping the orc's neck.
"This is what you get for trying to hurt my friend again." she hissed and shoved the arrow through the orc's face. She released the dead orc and sat down in the cage cross-legged.
All the other orcs looked on in horror, and fear of the she-elf in the cage. She looked up, pushing her hair over her shoulders and smirked. "Who's next then?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Only when they reached the tower did the orcs notice that the hobbit was missing. 'Not the smartest creatures are they?' Lauri thought as she tried to think of a way to escape. 'At least Elle got away.'
They got to the door and the biggest orc (A.N.: Lauri: Which I have affectionately nicknamed 'Dumbass') opened the cage, and roughly grabbed Lauri by the wrist and yanked her out. As soon as she was out, she grabbed an arrow with the other hand and stabbed at the big orc, but before her arrow could connect with flesh, the orc grabbed her other wrist. He freed his other hand by releasing her empty one, and with it he snapped the arrow in two. At the same time, she had to stifle a cry, for she was sure she felt her wrist do the same as her arrow.
The orc took Lauri into a large room, in the middle sat the demon himself, Saruman the White.
"We meet again Laurëaelen. You think you would have learned after the first time, but you continued. You continued to hunt my army, and now, you shall pay."
"Nice to see you again too. Oh, before I forget, there's a slight flaw in your precious 'army'. They're dumber than rocks. One of their prisoners got away on the way here. They didn't notice until we got here." Lauri said with a fake smile.
"Silence elf, did he say you could speak?" the orc growled, tightening it's grip on her surely broken wrist, 'causing her to feel faint.
"What do you want with me?" Lauri asked, her voice pained.
"I only wish to know who it is that carries the ring?"
"I'll never tell you that."
"Oh really? Then I'll just have to go after your little friend and ask her."
"No."
"Oh Yes, it would be no trouble at all, and until she gets here, we can just lend you a room. Let's take her to her room then, shall we." Saruman said and beckoned for the orc to follow.
As she was lead down twisting, hallways, that seemed to wind downward, Lauri began to wonder what Saruman was up to. 'Obviously he knows one of my weaknesses, Elanor, but surely he can't know about them all. He doesn't know about Legolas does he? Or maybe he re-captured Elle already.' She felt ill at the thought of that, and decided to stop thinking, and try and figure out where they were taking her.
They stopped outside of a door that looked strangely like the wall of a cave. Saruman lifted up his staff and the door opened, revealing a dark, dank room. Lauri's eyes went wide with fear. 'The weakness of all elves...'
"Here you are, just for you, we have reserved this wonderful cave of a room. We know you'll just enjoy your wait so much. We'll see you again when we've found your friend. I'm sure she'll be delighted to see you, that is, if she's still alive by then." And with that the orc thrust Lauri into the room and the door slammed shut.
A.N.: ELLE: Ha, ha! Stupid orc! Hey wait! You still have my elf!!!
LAURI: Owwww! I can't believe the NERVE of that Orc! How DARE he break my wrist! And don't even get me started on Saruman! *seethe* But at least I got my revenge. That'll teach them to try and kidnap you again Elle! They should know by now, "Do NOT piss off the elf-maiden!". Lol I luv this chapter, I love my line ; "Who's Next then?" . You just HAVE to say that with the british accent (which by the way, in case you all don't know, my character has, as does every other character in the book heehee) ! It's just great! Anyways, R/R bitte.
