Chapter 4 Found

When Amael woke up from her short sleep, one of the guards came in.

"The captain wants you." he said, and with that he unchained her from the wall, and tied her hands in front of her with a long rope so he could lead her. He pushed her roughly out the door where another guard took the rope that bound her, and lead her to a large room. Once again she was chained to the pole. The orc whipped her back until the captain came in. He demanded that she be unchained and stood up before him. The guards did as they were told. Amael felt vulnerable standing there helpless before them, but she quickly spotted her chance to escape as the captain turned his back on her. She ran as fast as she could away from that room, but soon she was lost and she could hear the orcs coming after her. One lay hidden in the shadows, as she ran by him he flashed his sword out in front of her. She fell to the ground clutching her side. The orc picked her up and brought her back to the room she had escaped from. By then the guards and captain had realized that she had gone and were frantically searching for her. The captain ordered her to be beaten and whipped. Amael had never felt such pain in her life. She screamed loudly, every part of her was bloody and on fire, she wished that she would die. As she grew unconscious her last thought was of Legolas.

Legolas ran through the halls as fast as he could with out drawing attention to himself. He had no idea where Amael might be. Then, he heard her scream and ran towards it. He found the room where he had heard the scream. He looked around in horror, there was blood everywhere, and on the ground were whips and clubs; all covered with blood. There was no sign of Amael. Once again he set off in search of her. As he went through the halls he heard two orcs talking.

"We had better hurry, you know how Gulosh and his friend get when they're not relieved from duty on time."

"Why does this she-Elf need four guards anyway?" the second one asked.

"Didn't you hear what happened? She almost escaped and if she can escape from the Captain then she can escape from a little cell." the other orc said.

"What does the Captain want her for?"

"I don't know, actually I don't think he even knows who she is. I never asked and if you want both your hands you won't either!"

Legolas heard this and followed the two orcs. Once he was sure that the four guards could not see him, he quickly pulled out his bow and shot them. He ran to the cell.

"Amael! Thank the Valar I found you!"

"Legolas, get me out of here they are going to….Look out!" she screamed. A guard was sneaking up behind him. Legolas drew his knife and stabbed him in the stomach. Soon there were ten guards all trying to attack Legolas.

"Amael I have to go, I need to get help. Soon every orc will be here. I can't fight them all." Legolas told her.

"You can't go, they'll torture me. Last time someone left me, I was nearly killed!" she said, tears streaming down her face.

"I have to but I will come back. You have to trust me, I would never leave you to torment, melamin. I have to go." then he turned and ran, tears were threatening to fall.

"Legolas?! Legolas come back, please come back Legolas!" she screamed. She kept screaming until one of the guards, who had come to see who was in the fortress, beat her until she was quiet. She hung her head in shame, bloodied and bruised.

The captain came into Amael's cell.

"What is your name she-Elf?" he asked her sharply.

"Amael Anahrin, daughter of Elrond Half-Elven." she said proudly, holding her head up.

The orc started to laugh, a horrible laugh. Then he spit at her feet.

"You think you are worth enough to be a daughter of Elrond? You are more foolish then any Elf I have ever met."

"Beat her till she is an inch from death, keep her alive though, she may prove useful."
