Supporting Meleth they crawled behind a rock, swords prepared to strike when an Orc would appear. But there came none. "i think.. " Miriel said panting "I think they retreated." Carefully she looked to the area where a few moments ago it swirled with Orcs. It was now an empty field. "Melleth! Melleth, they have retreated!" But Melleth looked pale and her breath was irregular.

Meleth tried to smile but she was agonizingly worried about the others. "I'm glad," she said, and painfully pulled herself to her feet. "We need to find the others, though, as fast as possible!"

Although the land became silent again, no sound was to be heard, Miriel and Meleth tiptoed , searching for their friends. Between the dead bodies they only found Orcs and a spark of hope came back in Miriel's heart. "I don't know what to do Meleth, but I think it's wisest to look for our companions tommorow with first light of the day." She pointed to a deserted group of trees. "Maybe we can find cover there..?"

(((OK, we'll try not to post to much so you can catch up! )))
Suddenly, the dirty cloak was removed from Lothwen's head. She was in the middle of an orc camp. The whole place stank and was black and dirty. Lothwen looked around and saw Luthien next to her. "Luth?" she questioned, but recieved a kick in the back from an orc behind her. "No talkin'," it said in a rough voice. "Who are you?" Lothwen drew herself up, stared the orc in it's foul face and said nothing. "Who are you?" the orc growled again and grabbed Lothwen's hair. Gasping, Lothwen said: "It is none of your buisness who or I am, you foul beast!" The orc laughed. The sound sounded like nothing more than long nails scraping across a blackboard. "It is!" it said. "Tell us, or worse will happen to you, and your friend here as well!" It had dropped Lothwen on the ground and gestured to Luthien. "You will not harm either one of us!" Lothwen cried. "Oh really?" said the orc with a smirk. "We'll see about that."

Luthien nearly gagged at the stench of her captors. Watching Lothwen argue, she sat mutely on the ground. She felt like a coward, keeping her mouth shut for so long. Lothwen was standing up to the orcs, but perhaps they had a chance of sneaking away if they did not elicit a large guard. When the head orc threatened her, though, she stood up angrily.

"Oh really?" said the orc with a smirk. "We'll see about that." Luthien scowled, her hand on Lothwen's arm, holding her friend back. "They will come for us, and you will regret this."

Luthien did not give the foul creatures the pleasure of hearing her cry out in pain, and instead spat in their faces. An old, scarred orc smacked her hard across the face with the back of his hand, knocking her against Lothwen. When she didn't move, he left her alone, muttering curses.

Luth was glad to hear a friendly voice. "I'm right here, Lothwen. Are you okay?" She licked her dry lips and tasted blood.

((Just a question. How do you rub your head when your hands are tied? Unless they are tied in front of us. lol ))

"I have certainly been better," she whispered, "Any chance you still have some sort of weapon on you?"

(((oops, forgot about that. )))
"My knife is on my belt," said Lothwen. "And my bow and arrows were taken from me when I was captured."

((Teehee, don't worry about it ))
"Those beasts took my weapons, but if you say you have a knife, perhaps I could take it out and cut you loose." Luth hated talking to people she couldn't see, but didn't really have a choice.
