Runaway

Kidnapping the Blonde

Clove stayed in there for as long as she could, beginning to grow impatient. She needed to get out of that closet. When chance came she took it. Clove saw the elf walking by as fast as she could Clove opened the door grabbed the elf and pulled him in. She covered his mouth so he wouldn't yell and blow her cover. Clove wrestled him for a bit as he tried to shake loose of her death hug. She couldn't hold him still any longer and he wasn't calming down. She picked up a rock the back of his head with it. Oh great, now he's unconscious. She thought sarcastically. Clove tied up his wrists and ankles with rope she found and took his weapons. After another hour he woke up he blinked his eyes a few times. "What? Where am I?" He said struggling to pull her wrists out of the rope. He looked around in a panicky way. Then he spotted her sitting across from him, but it was too dark so he couldn't tell she was an Orc. "Who are you?" he said in a rueful way.

Clove spoke back to him "My name is Clove." She answered him.

"Why am I tied up?"

"I didn't want you to panic or try and kill me."

"Yes, because waking up with bound wrists in a dark room tends to calm most people." There was a paused."Why would I try to kill you?"

Clove hesitated to answer. "I um am an uh Orc." She said regretfully.

His eyes widened and he attempted to get loose. "Aragorn! Gimli! Help! Get me out of here! Her-" He shouted, but Clove cut him off. When he started yelling she dove at him and covered him mouth with her hands.

"Shhhhhh! I'm not gonna hurt anyone. I want to help." She told him but he kept struggling. "I have seen Samwise Gamgee and Frodo Baggins! I helped them we are friends!"

At that he froze. Clove carefully took her hands off of his mouth. He looked at her confused.

"You are friends with Sam and Frodo?" He asked. Clove nodded honestly.

"Yes, so I captured you so that if I gained your trust I could come out of this closet. I saw you all coming so I hid. Will you explain to everyone that I want to help fight? And tell them not to hurt me?" She asked him.

"Yes, I will tell them. We need all of the help we can get. But first could you untie me?"

"Oh, yes, of course" She said then undid the knots. "I'm Clove, if I forgot to tell you. What is your name?" She questioned.

"My name is Legolas Greenleaf" He said. She handed him back his bow and arrows

"Thank you" Legolas Greenleaf, the blonde elf, said.
