I look up as Jarvis enters the room, I roll my eyes at him.

"What now Jarvis?" I ask annoyed

He comes closer and unties me from the poll "I want to chat" He says

He rebinds my hands "About what?" I ask skeptically


"I know you think I'm some heartless asshole but I'm not, it's an act. I know that if I didn't do what my master wants, he'll kill me" He says

"An act?! So an act killed my brother and betrayed my people?" I snap

"Yes, well I did but I was under orders from my master, I didn't want to but he told me to and if I didn't he would have killed me, I must obey him or I die" Jarvis replies

I look down at my stomach "He really wants my daughter, doesn't he?" I ask


"Yes, he will stop at nothing to get her, she will be very powerful and would be a great addition to Sauron's army, at least he thinks so."

"I need to get out of Isengard and back to my mate, I need to save my daughter" I say

"There is no way out. Not for us. I have to keep up my act."

"There might be a way" I say thinking a moment


"How?" Jarvis asks

"We have to fight them" I say

"We can't, you can't, not in your condition. You have to protect your baby. I can fight but, Saruman has many orcs under his command, it's almost impossible" He says

"We have to get out of here, I can't be stuck here and I can't give birth here, they would take my daughter and kill me after. I only have five months left, if we don't leave before I give birth it's over for me" I say slightly panicked


"We will, I just don't know when, but I promise we will" Jarvis says

"Ok, you should go before Saruman gets suspicious" I say

"Alright, I will come back latter with food" Jarvis says, I nod and he ties me back up to the post and leaves.
