Disclaimer: You probably know this part! Do you? Yes!? Ok...then on with the story!
Chapter twelve, Run hobbits! Run!
Nimloth
woke up with a headache. She felt her mouth full of dirt and her neck
ached terribly. She sat up slowly as she rubbed her head.
"Nimloth!" whispered the hobbits in unison.
"Hi," she whispered back, managing to put a vague smile across her face. "How are you ?"
"We are fine...well as fine as one can be when you are surrounded by orcs that is!" Merry admitted.
"For how long have I slept?" she asked.
"Hum..." Pippin thought, "three days..."
"Oh..." she mumbled.
Suddenly the orc who had kissed her before came towards them. She could see him completely now, he was even more disgusting than she remembered: his skin was greenish , a rotten green, like a stone placed in the water of a deep stinky swamp, covered in moss. It was covered in flaws, stains and bot warts. His scant hair was black though not a beautiful shinny and silky black, his was thick and greasy, his thin complexion and big dark eyes made him look crazed, and he had over sized arms, long skinny arms that seemed to almost touch the ground under his foot
He came towards them with a evil grin. It made the hobbits shiver desperately and as for Nimloth, she was used to that kind of grins, she had seen many orcs grin like that, it didn't amuse her anymore. "I see you're awake," the orc hissed. "Making plans to escape, huh?" he grumbled. "I don't think so," he laughed. That laugh, began to bother Nimloth not to mention the poor hobbits who had fear' written on their pale faces. "You try to escape you little rat!" he snarled with rage. " It would be such a pity if something happened to that pretty face of yours. Would it? The poor old bastard won't have the gal the way he wanted," he hissed and spat, walking closer, playing with his dirty claws. He took a step closer to Nimloth as if he was going to scratch her to death with his sharp worn out nails, when Uglûk came in.
" Easy Buol, Saruman said alive and unspoiled, " he growled. "You keep your dirty hands away from the mortal and away from the haflings too, ya' hear me?!"
Buol hissed. "Fine, have it your way," he muttered and walked away keeping an eye on the prisoners, if something happened, if someone was about to hurt them...that would be him.
The days turned into nights and the nights into days again. They traveled for many days which were more and more tedious since they had to run, the orcs wouldn't carry them anymore. The first time they were forced to run Nimloth had tried to escape. She knew she was leaving the hobbits, she knew as well the orcs wouldn't hurt them, and maybe she could find help. She didn't make it, but in all the confusion that took place after her attempt to escape Pippin threw his elven brooch to the ground, leaving a trail for their friends who were just a day away from them. When they stopped for the night Nimloth was punished, Uglûk whipped her several times and kicked her too. Buol was pretty mad, repeating that he was in charge of the prisoners. Finally Uglûk decided to call it a night by kicking her on her stomach. The girl laid humiliated and stained on the ground gasping desperately for air.
"We'll tell Saruman she fell off a tree," Uglûk laughed.
The riders of Rohan attacked at midnight (a/n: well it was dark...) lifeless bodies laid on the ground, some men and some orcs or what it was left from them would be more accurate.
Pippin ,Merry and Nimloth were caught in the middle of this pandemonium. Everybody was too busy fighting, so they were unnoticed. Pippin who had managed to untie his hand released the rest.
"Merry, Pippin! Run to the forest!" Nimloth ordered. They started to run, but stopped as they realized that Nimloth wasn't running with them.
"Come on Nimloth!" Pippin urged. "Why aren't you running?! Come! quick!"
" No, you go first, you run and hide. This are riders from Rohan! They'll see I'm no orc and they'll free us! I'll ask them for help ! You go now, I'll be with you soon. If there's any problem just run without me. Understand?"
"But...but..." Pippin stammered.
"No buts," Nimloth replied sharply. She was beginning to change her mind about her plan. "Now go, before they see you!" Pippin ran back to her and gave her a hug. Merry soon did the same.
"See you around," sniffed Pippin.
"Sure thing, Pip," she assured, not too sure at all if that was true. Tears were gathering in her eyes but she didn't show them.
The hobbits ran as fast as they could to the forest until they were out of sight. Nimloth ran back to were the orcs were fighting and realized that there was to much chaos for her to interfere, so she started to ran back to the hobbits, when she crushed onto someone.
"Taking
advantage of the situation ,aren't we?" an orc said. He
doubled her in size so he was probably an Isengarder. He laughed
diabolically. That was the last thing she saw or heard before she
went into a deep darkness of cruel despair and fear.
