[ColletteTook]

Meanwhile------

The Ents had heard the short, shrill cry of the fife from afar, the fife that was distinguishable from all for it was Aranel's own. They began to assemble a rescue party, hoom but not too hasty now.....
-----------------

Collette turned her head away from Shade's words, and stubbornly fought the pain to sit up. It seered, and she could feel the blood seeping and sticking to her tunic.She prayed for Aranel's safety, for Radae and Faye, and now Shade had given her a hint. She was doing the best of all of them, for she was stubborn and righteous and now, from seeing the sun from the high small stone opening, her hope twinkled once more and she knew that she would be the one to save them.
Her thoughts ran quickly, for this was not a slow hobbit, just a clumbsy one.
Collette grouped the wall for footing, as her knees shook violently underneath her throbbing weight. She used all her strength to clamber silently up the bars and hold herself to the ceiling corner.Her body throbbed and bled more, she felt woozy from loss of blood, but grit her teeth, and waited for the dozing orc to notice her sudden dissapearance.
"Pig! Here Pig!" she taunted, though her couldnt see her.
He entered the cell, scratching his head in confusion. Collette seized her chance and launched herself on his back and, being a theif, her hands naturally found their way into the pockets of his filthy breeches and pulled from them the cell keys and scrambled to lock him in her own cell.
His cries had soon alerted many other dull witted orcs to his aid, but Collette hid from them easily.
She had the keys to the cells now, and she WOULD find Faye and Radae.
She would see to it personally that they would make it through this, and she had meant to kill Shade herself, even if it meant her own death.
She moved along the hallways like a shadow, despite her pain and agony and the now mroe steadily loss of blood that occasionally made her stop, for her vision was going white.
She heard Shade's cry from down one of the further halls. He had obviously discovered her dissapearance.
"Dont worry Shade" she said aloud, as she recovered another dizzy spell, gasping for air. "We shall meet again, and you shall meet your demise by a halfling. Lo! What an honorable death" she half-laughed and precceded to find where Faye and Radae were.
