I own Katalia, Leanar, Baragon, and Baragon's family.

Authors note: I made a mistake the people are not called Southernlings. They are called Haradrim. So from now on it's going to be Haradrim.

Chapter 5

They woke up to Katalia screaming, "Get on the horses we got to leave! We got to go back to Ithilien now!"

"Why?" asked Aunt Sevein, sitting up wearily, then she saw the army riding towards the camp. "Quick! Do as Katalia says!"

They all mounted their horses and galloped away, Katalia keeping a eye fixed on the riders behind them. They were losing them. She had improved with riding since she had first arrived in Middle Earth. Then, while she was looking back, she was knocked off her horse by a tree branch. Her right foot twisted beneath her, Katalia gasped out in pain. Laurelin fell on top of her uninjured leg, thankfully. Sortemla, Katalia's horse, ran off into the forest. Telperion stopped,

but Aunt Sevein was ahead of them and couldn't stop her horse.

"Katalia!"

"Telperion take Laurelin go to Ithilien."

"I can't leave you here!" she said as she took the very frightened Laurelin from Katalia. "What's happening?" asked Laurelin.

"Don't worry Laurelin everything will be alright. Brenala cannot carry three people go!"

"No I will not leave you here! Brenala can deal with it."

"You will. If I went on, Brenala would have a heavier load so she would be slower then they'd have all of us! Brenala ualasto I hirilana. Kel siello Ithilienana. (Brenala do not listen to the lady. Go away from her to Ithilien." Brenala sped of into the night carrying Telperion and Laurelin to safety. Katalia limped a ways through the forest it was only a matter of time before they were upon her. She hid herself in the bushes. This is just wonderful. The army was upon her now.

Katalia's heart stopped beating. They were so close to her hiding place, The leader stopped, and in the light of the moon Katalia could make out the face of the Haradrim that had captured her before. She heard his wicked voice say, "Lieutenant you and your men go after them do not let them escape!"

"Yes sir."

"We will camp here tonight."

They don't know I fell off my horse. then she felt a sneeze coming. Oh great. she tried to stifle it but they heard. The leader came over to the bushes and peered inside. He grinned evilly. "Hello beast. Glad you could join us."

Katalia's eyes filled with tears. What is going to happen to me? "What are you doing here?" asked Katalia as he roughly grabbed her and pulled her into their camp. her eyes grew wide as he pulled out a three pronged whip, and he whipped her. Katalia winced at the burning pain.

"Remember? You only speak when asked a question." he said wickedly. "But we may have a conversation for once. I will talk to you Beast. We were promised Ithilien from the Dark Lord. We have come to take what's ours. I'm in charge of all our lands."

"He fell. You will never own Ithilien. It is not yours." said Katalia fiercely.

He raised his eyebrows. "Really. I think differently. My army is consisted of 20,000. Ithilien is newly made it is weak. Their army has been out of practice for a couple of years. Mine has been working for years. First for the Dark Lord now fro Ithilien! Besides that, an army of Urak-Ki are coming to help us from a different direction. Also, we have Haradrim in Ithilien in the army. The will be attacked from inside and out!"

Katalia eyes filled with tears. He was right, how would they survive this?

"Where am I going?"

"I suppose it won't hurt if you know. I plan on taking you to Ithilien. You will die a slow, painful death at my hands. But first watching all who you love die!"

Katalia was about ready to cry. I will not show him I'm weak. "Why do you hate me so?"

"Because I have captured many people . None have escaped me except you! I can't bear having a GIRL out smart me! No one ever does!"

"How did you know I was alive?"

"I saw Baragon captain of the army of Ithilien, cousin of Eowyn and King Eomer take you out."

Katalia's mouth dropped. "How do you know his name?"

"I have my spies in Ithilien remember? Our discussion is ended. Sleep while you can."

Katalia went to bed her back bleeding and her foot hurting but her spirit was in a much worse condition. She tried to sleep but didn't succeed much. Who would?

Well there's my chapter. I'll type the next one soon. Thanks to everyone! Especially my beta reader Elessarlover. Please review!

Namarie,
