Chapter 3- Poisoned
Aragorn lay awake, feverish and drowsy on the Uruk's great back. "They are taking Frodo to Orthanc, because of the Ring... but why bother to take me?..." Was all that was going through Aragorn's mind at the time.
Five minutes later Aragorn was roughly thrown on the ground like luggage. He looked over at Frodo to see if he was alright, but all that Aragorn could see was his guard's hairy back. He hoped that Frodo was alright, but in the company of fifty or so Uruk-hai... that was unlikely.
A couple more minutes slowly ticked by and Aragorn was starting to hallucinate. The antidote wasn't working; in fact it was making him feel worse. His back burned from the Orc medicine and the poison from the arrow. He tried to get an Uruk's attention, but failed miserably; being bound and gagged.
Finally Ugluk saw Aragorn moaning and thrashing in his bonds. So he walked over to Aragorn and kicked him. "Stop that tark! You won't be able to get free like that!" That's when Ugluk noticed how ill Aragorn looked. "Why does this rat look so bad?" He demanded, "Lemme see another one of the phials!"
A small Uruk, named Luz, brought him another black phial. "'Ere ya go, 'nother one of them phials."
"This is no antidote you idiots! This is more poison! Who brought me the first phial!?" Ugluk stormed.
"I think Sniden did Sir..." Luz never liked that Uruk and was always trying to get him into trouble.
Ugluk without asking quickly took the head off of Sniden. "Now get me some salt and warm water! Now! Unless anyone else wants to have a cut throat."
Soon enough salt and warm water was brought to Ugluk.
Ugluk was busy untying Aragorn's gag and taking the rag the rag out of his mouth. Next he pulled Aragorn to a sitting position and rapidly began to pour the salt water down his throat. Following the emetic came Ugluk's fingers. That caused Aragorn to choke and eventually vomit.
Ugluk repeated this procedure until he was sure that all of the poison was out of Aragorn's stomach.
After Ugluk left Aragorn lay back down, too weak to do anything else. The poison from the arrow still coursed through his veins.
Ugluk returned shortly with another phial. He pulled Aragorn's head back and forced it's contents down Aragorn's throat. Then he left to continue to give orders and knock off some more heads.
The antidote soon took effect and Aragorn finally fell into restless sleep.
TBC...
A/N- Yes I know it's short... but I'll try to make the next one longer... If anyone has any ideas on Aragorn/Frodo torture please let me know! And the Uruk names-Sniden and Luz If you can think of better names also please tell me. Thanks!:)
