Chapter 5

Amael awoke to a distant pounding, for a moment she thought herself at home and that was her father coming in to tell her to come have some breakfast. Then she realized the cruel reality. It was another day in captivity, another day of torture and pain. The pounding was that of the guards outside her door. They were playing same foolish game of banging their swords against the wall to see if they could wake her up. When they saw she was awake, they called for the captain.

She was lifted onto her knees. The captain forced some hot burning liquid down her throat.

"There that will keep you from becoming unconscious again. And that's a good thing, right? ?" He grinned evilly. He threw some stale bread and water at her feet.

" Give her time to eat then bring her to the 5th chamber," he said as the orcs began to laugh at what was about to happen to her.

As Amael ate she wondered what was in the 5th chamber. The orc guard came in and bound her hands tightly. " Let's go she-elf" he told her harshly.

He led her through many doors and passageways, she tried to remember her way through but soon found it to difficult. " Don't be thinkin' of escaping now, there are so many dead ends and traps you would be caught or killed or both," the orc said with a smirk " and we don't want that happening now do we?"

He pushed her in the door of the chamber, she saw it was filled with many different things, and none of them looked too pleasant to her. As the door shut the orcs grinned evilly and Amael's screams of pain were heard though out the entire castle and hears by any directly outside.

Soon Amael was to weak and tired to scream but if any looked in her eyes, they would see so deep a look of pain and sadness that one would wonder why she was not yet dead and free of any pain and torment.

Legolas rode hard to Imladris, hoping that by the time he would get there and back he would not be to late. As he rode through the gates, he quickly dismounted and ran through the entrance to the Elven City. He ran through the halls desperately searching for Elrond. He ran into Elledan.

" Why in such a rush, Legolas?" he asked him.

" My sincerest apologies Elledan. Where is your father?"

" I'm not sure…" he stopped and looked at Legolas, " why what's wrong?"

" It's Amael" he was cut off by Elrond

" Where is she, Legolas" he said a look of worry and sadness in his eyes.

" In an orc fortress about 150 miles form here," he said.

" Alright Elledan, and Elrohir will help you get her. You can leave tomorrow"

" But we should leave now" said Legolas

" No, you are weary you will rest so you can fight tomorrow"

" But my lord.." Legolas argued like a small child who wanted his way

" No buts Legolas"
