Author's Note: OMG I am SOOOOO sorry to anyone who has read this before and wanted it updated. I really didn't mean for it to take that long to update, but no one reviewed the last chapter and so it didn't really give me any reason to update or write more.

This is my first and only Lord of the Rings fan-fiction so I hope you enjoy it. It is a little different then most stories point of view. But I hope you like it. Please review after you read it.



Child Unmasked: Chapter 7- My Revealing

Woman and children stared at us with both hope and yet fear. I know that I had saved a woman's life and I hoped that I could protect them when more orcs arrived. Dellip still stayed huddled in the corner. But he looked at me with such happiness.

Then three more orcs raced down the narrow passage. I readied my bow and arrow and shoot the first in view. Then I got the next orc in the same fashion. But the last one was too close to use an arrow. I took out my hatchet and flung it at his forehead. It hit in prefect aim and the body fell lifelessly to the ground.

The people in the chamber looked at me with more faith than before and slowly their lips pointed upwards. Dellip and I smiled and I felt happier than I had felt since long, long ago when I too was a mere child.

All of a sudden the howls of war ceased and echoes of cheerers rang through the caves. All the women's faces turned bright and they hugged their children or neighbors. I wished that this 'd been what happed thousands of years ago.

At that moment men started flowing down the corridors. The lead man was the man we had seen earlier on the bridge going into Helm's Deep. He grabbed his sword and was about to battle with me.

But then the woman that I had saved bellowed, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The man stopped dead in his tracks and stared at her. She looked at me than him and continued in a regular voice, "It saved me, it saved us." She said this while looking at me in the most loving and respective look I thing I have seen since my parents were alive and themselves.

"Saved you?" The man asked, with great shock. The woman nodded as did all the other women and children. The man looked at me in complete and utter surprise. "Who are you?"

"I am Rondri, and this is Dellip." I told the man as well as the whole group or people. When I introduced Dellip I pointed to him, and he became noticed by the group of men.

"Why should we spare you?" This came from another man, I presumed him to be the king, for he had the fanciest armor and weaponry.

"I never said you should. I saved you women and children, I haven't harmed even one of you." I told them, and added, "Do what you think is right."

Four men walked over to Dellip and rut their swords against his neck. I could see the fright in his eyes. And I my self became enraged. Then four came up to me and did the same action.

"This is what I think is right, I don't trust orcs, for you have spread so much hate and pain." The king declared. "Unless you have some reason that I shouldn't kill you."

"All right, I do have a reason." I said becoming prepared to tell him whom I really was. "I lied to you, I am not Rondri, but someone else." At this Dellip looked at me confused. "I'm sorry Dellip, I lied to you also, but it was necessary. I am Serinea." I took out my dagger and stuck in my neck just an inch or two and I slit the leathery skin of the orc that I became.

All the eyes were upon me and Dellip I heard was screaming no. I felt my real flesh and I cut to the right, then I did the left. Slowly I made my way around my neck. Not once did I see someone blink, the hundreds of pairs of eyes was glued to me and my knife.

I then put the dagger in the hoister and brought my hands to the slip in my costume. I grabbed the flesh and I pulled with all my might on would let me free. It hurt, but the chance of being human once again was too magnificent to stop.

I made my way up my neck and over my head. Well I did this I heard the gasps from those surrounding me. I lifted the mask off my head and I let it out of my grasp. The dead orc skin plunged to the ground.

I lifted my eyes up to look into the piercing watch of the king and his face was filled with both horror and utter shook.
