Child Unmasked: Chapter 6- Once More, But That's It
Tears trickled down my dirt stained faced. If I wasn't wearing a mask Dellip would've seen and tried to comfort me. But right now all I wanted was to be free, alone, not wearing a cover.
Being so close to the event that turned the most hated and powerful man in the history of Middle Earth. It burdened me to know what my father was like as a man and not as the creator of all thee evil around.
I yearn for is to go back to the past. But that will never happen and happiness won't ever return to me. How bad I wished to be so innocent as the children I knew were inside those very walls I was as a child.
"Troops ready yourself for battle. Attack at all moments and kill all those in your sight. Go now and let all men die!" The leader of our army roared.
I looked towards Dellip and saw his flesh tremble. He was scared out of his mind, as I was. If I killed so much as one man I would hate myself forever.
"ATTACK!" A shriek bellowed from our leader.
At that moment the arrows started to fly and the smell of flesh fogged the air. Blood flew in all directions and like before all I heard was screaming.
Dellip was beside me avoiding all arrows, but not firing his own. I was proud that he wasn't hurting the men. If he were I would of thought him evil. And that was definitely not him.
"Rondri, do we have to do this? Can you think of any way out?" Dellip was so kind and gentle. I know that he would never hurt anyone, but he was an orc and the men would give him no mercy.
"You know what Dellip? I think I know a way out." I told him placing a smile on my face. Dellip's face lit up and I knew that he wanted to get out of this more than anyone ever alive would.
I grabbed his hand and lead him to the group trying to get in the main doors. I knew the area, some how they didn't seem to think of new plans to build Helms Deep. It was the same as the old one.
Two men jumped down from the sides. One was a dark haired man and the other a dwarf. Both were armed well and attacked the others. Orcs stared falling from the bridge and others leaded forward.
Then more arrows flew and a rope came down to collect the two. At this the door fumbled open and the orcs headed in. Dellip and I followed.
Men and Elves attacked the in coming orcs. I grabbed Dellip and ran with him and the few others to the king's chamber. The door was shut and then horses rushed out and the orcs following burst in. All of us rushed to the cave entrance and rushed to find the women and children.
I knew where they were. But like hell I was going to tell anyone that. We ran for few minutes, than there they were.
Men shoot arrows at us, and few orcs dropped down. Then the few selectmen came at us with swords. Dellip and I avoided all contact with them and nether of us killed them. But soon all were on the floor dead.
Then they went for the women and children. This I couldn't stand. I was once one of those children and my heart was torn the day orcs came.
I looked at a little girl in the back sitting on her mother's lap. She had tears in her eyes but she looked at us with more hate and anger than I could detect fear. She hated us and I could never doubt her thought.
She reminded me of me. I was once there in her position and I swear I wanted no more than to go up to her and tell her it would all be okay. But I knew if I would go Dellip would follow and the orcs would kill us both. I would be fine with my death, but I could never stand it if it were Dellip.
**Flashback**
I looked to the entrance and I saw them. For the first time, I saw them. Creatures horrid, grotesque, and smelly were standing in the doorway. Each and every one of them held swords, daggers, knifes, bows, fire, or spears. It was terrifying.
Orcs. I knew for a fact that they were orcs. They were covered in mud and rust. Their skin was like scaly leather. Their eyes were filled with hate and a longing to kill. Their armor was practically rust and it was jagged with spikes. On their bodies blood was scattered all over. It was almost as it meant to be there. The thick blood was scattered in millions of different designs.
They stood there waiting for one of them to attack. Or maybe they were showing off their awards made of blood. Maybe they had a sick sense of humor and just wanted to see us scared out of our wits. But that couldn't be true; Orcs do not have feelings or expressions. They never have and the absolutely never will.
My heartbeats quicken and I didn't know what to do. Was I supposed to run? Hide? Wait? Fight? Was I supposed to let death take my without struggle? Or die foolishly trying to escape? What was I supposed to do?
The Orcs looked so deadly and powerful. How was I supposed to escape? Was I even meant to stay alive another night? I doubt it. Life I finally realized was short and was not meant for every body. It was only meant to those who were strong, Who were wise, Who were brave, And who had NO fear.
**End of Flashback**
I think back to how much fear I had from just their looks. Now I look just like them. I was dusty, scaly, rusty, and full of blood. Even if the flesh seen wasn't my own, it was what others saw and it now belonged to me.
I knew how it felt to be in the position as the children that were there in front of me. I wanted nothing more than to strike my sword at all the orcs surrounding, except Dellip.
Then the lead orc raised his sword above a young woman. I couldn't stand this. I remember the first death I saw by them, and then all the others would die.
I grabbed my sword and flung it at the orc's head. It tumbled off and his bone stuck out with blood gushing from the empty neck. The head rolled on the once again blood stained floor.
The woman looked at me with a questioning gaze and I wished I could comfort her. Then an arrow shot at me. I dogged it and I quickly dug my sword into the ice-cold heart of the shooter. Blood surged out of the wound and he toppled over.
Swords and arrows came at me and I quickly spun my blade around and their heads flung off. More and more blood filled the room and more and more bodies lay on the blood soaked dirt. But there was one difference than before; the bodies were not humans, they were orcs.
Soon there was only one orc left and that was Dellip was curled in the corner. I looked at him and he just smiled. His eyes were filled with hope and I knew things would be different. It was just a matter of time. But until than, there was still a war going on just a few yards above our heads.
