Disclaimer: I don't own any of the lotr people...bugga! But I do own da rest of them!!

Summery: what do you get if you mix orcs with the fellowship and few random characters? Well this is what I think anyway!

They sped through the trees for no more than ten minutes until Soulmane halted at Kiaro's command.

"What is it?" enquired Strider.

"I can hear something or someone in the trees up ahead... Yes, now I can see them too. Yrch! Orcs!"

Kiaro dismounted and moved forward. Legolas dismounted as well and followed Kiaro cautiously while the hobbits looked worriedly at each other.

"A Gellam!" Kiaro sighed in her elvish tongue. "There are at least one hundred of them and just ten of us!"

Legolas and Kiaro returned to the others and told them of the peril that faced them.

"What are we to do?" asked Frodo.

"I suppose Legolas, Strider and I could take out as many as possible with arrows but that would attract those we could not kill."

"How far from your home are we?" asked Merry.

"My home is just through the trees where the orcs are heading to. We have to get there before them! Sauron has forever been trying to get my father's kingdom for his own. I'll bet you anything those orcs are from him. " Her voice turned into a snarl. "Come on, we have to go." She looked distressed and fearful. She jumped on to Soulmane and cried, "Fly Soulmane, fly!"

The horse was galloping at once. The other horses had a difficult time keeping up. Kiaro drew her sword as they neared the troop of orcs. Strider and Boromir did the same; Gandalf raised his staff and sped on Shadowfax to gallop along side Soulmane. As they rode ever closer, the few orcs marching at the back of the group heard the thundering hooves and spun around. But too late! They were impaled on a metal blade just as quickly as they had alerted the other orcs with their painful screams.

Legolas halted his horse and pulled out his bow. Arrow after arrow he let fly killing as many orcs. Suddenly an agonising cry was heard echoing through out the forest. Everyone turned to see what had made such a terrible noise. What they saw was Kiaro bent over a small body. Strider fought his way over to her side. When he reached her he gasped and was full of sorrow.

The orcs started to retreat for they knew they had been beaten. They ran in all directions, some falling as they went. Legolas let his last arrow fly then jeered on his horse and Gimli held on. They arrived at the mourning group at the same moment that Gandalf, Boromir and the three halflings did. They dismounted and quietly walked over to where Kiaro was.

Just then Sam burst in to tears. "MASTER FRODO, MASTER FRODO. NOOOOOO!"

There lay, under Kiaro's hunched body, Frodo with an arrow protruding from his side. He lay there groaning in agony.

"We have to help him! Can we help him? Come on, help him, please!" Sam went on until Gandalf answered him by saying, "Only Kingsorrell can heal a wound like this! Kiaro, do you have any at your home?"

Kiaro looked up, her face was saddened. She wiped the perspiration from her forehead. "I think so... Yes we do."

Kiaro picked up Frodo and stood up straight. "If we are going to save him we have to hurry."

She sent out a shrill whistle and Soulmane came out of the trees. "I'll carry him with me, you'll have to follow."

She mounted her horse and waited the others mounted theirs. As soon as they were all on their horses, they sped off at an amazing speed heading towards Kiaro's home, following her closely. Now and again Frodo cried out in pain and Kiaro held him close and comforted him.

Then a huge castle loomed through the trees.

"That's your house!?" said Pippin.

"Isn't it what you expected?" asked Kiaro quite innocently.

"Well no, I expected something a bit smaller," answered Pippin still gazing up at the castle they were heading towards.

"Well my father is the King of Delven!"

"King!?" said Sam.

"That would make you a princess right?" asked Merry.

"Didn't I say that?"

Everybody shook their heads.

"Oops, must have slipped my mind!" said Kiaro, laughing awkwardly.
