Make Way for the Orc

Guys, so sorry I haven't updated in a long time! I'll try to update a lot so stay tuned!

They came out of the closet not long after. She walked behind Legolas so no one would try to attack her, being an Orc in a crowd of people who lost their homes to Orcs isn't exactly safe. Legolas kept looking behind at Clove to show everyone that he knew she was there. As they walk through the city he announced that she was a friend and not to attack. Almost everyone there was taller than me, especially Legolas. She thought maybe all that time with hobbits after escaping Isengard effected her. They made their way to a elaborately structured room. Inside was the man, the dwarf, and the king, along with a few other people. When Legolas walked in the man sighed "Ahhh there you are! Legolas where have you been?" "I was kidnaped." He said with a slight grin. The man looked confused "By who?" He asked Legolas, still smiling, stepped aside revealing his kidnapper. Everyone jumped to their feet and aimed weapons towards her. Legolas put his hand on her shoulder and motioned with his other hand. "Put down your weapons! She carries nothing, but good news." The remains of an army put away their swords and bows. "What is it?" Asked the man sitting down. "This is Clove. She ran away from Isengard and into Sam and Frodo who she saw just days ago. They continue to move East. She befriended and aided them. Now Clove wishes to fight beside us in this battle." Everyone was silently impressed by what she had and plans to accomplish. The king stood, "Very well! Clove thank for joining us in this time of need! I am honored to fight beside you." He said. She looked to him with a grin of sharp teeth. "As am I! You are giving me a chance to be something other than a chief for Suromon!" She grabbed the king in a bear hug. She then released him, looking to Legolas. "Could you introduce me?" She asked. "Of course!" He said and proceeded to introduce the man as Aragorn, the Dwarf as Gimli, and the king as Theoden.

That night they prepared for battle. Clove pulled on high boots that laced up. She wore black clothing and chain mail. Her armor was painted a dark red as well as the helmet. Her weapon that she was given was ironically a sword of Mithril. It glows blue when she unsheathes it, an excellent blade, light and sharp. The sword had a vine with flowers carved into the blade. It was a beautiful weapon. Clove held it as they were lined up on the wall surrounding the city of Hornburg. The elves showed up to join in the fight. They claimed to honor the alliance between elves and men once more. Clove stood next to an elf on the wall. His name was Haldir, he lead the elves into the city, and now was in position with Clove at his side and death before him. He starred at her for a while until he finally asked the question. "You there, soldier, why does your sword glow while no orcs are upon us?" Clove glanced at the sword before she looked at him then removed her helmet. "That is because I am an Orc, Haldir of Lothlorien." He looked at her in surprise then studied her a bit. "Impressive. You are the first Orc I have heard to denny Suron and the first girl Orc at that. I wish you luck my friend." He said looking straight ahead once more. "And I to you, the best of luck." She put her helmet back on.

It started to get dark out. Only a few glints of sunlight were left on the horizon. Clouds moved slowly in and it began to rain. Clove knew from then this was going to be a long night. Her hair was all wet causing it stick to her neck. It felt horrible. She saw a young boy, only about the age of 10, was in armor holding a sword. She felt pity for him, there was no way he was going to last the night. In the distance there was an army approaching. Millions of Orcs were marching towards Helm's Deep. Only the Clove realized that this was her first actual battle, no longer was this a little wrestle with pots and pans in the kitchen.
