Turning his Warg around so he could watch the battle, Azog growled as the Dwarves started throwing flaming pinecones. With the whole area on fire, the Wargs refused to get any closer to the flames. Aderyn heard the Dwarves cry out in joy as they thought they were safe for a moment. "The tree is too weak. It will give way any moment now." As soon as the words were out of her mouth, the tree did just that. Tipping over slowly until it was horizontal, the Dwarves were left grasping at branches and the woman couldn't help but jerk in that direction as Ori fell off. Luckily he grabbed his brother's boot but Azog noticed the woman's movement.

Ignoring her soft apology, Azog wrapped his arm tighter around her petite frame as Thorin stood from the tree and began running at them. His sword was shining brightly in the light provided by the fire, looking every bit the picture of a brave warrior until he was knocked to the ground by the white Warg. Aderyn giggled and covered her mouth and Azog reveled in the noise. She enjoyed watching Oakenshield fall, giving Azog another piece of proof that he made a good choice in saving her. The Warg bit down on Oakenshield as he lay on the ground, drawing a pained noise from the Dwarf. His sword flashed from his side and hit the animal on the face, causing it to throw him some distance away.

"Bring me his head." An orc dismounted from his ride and prepared to remove the Dwarf king's head. Before he could finish his job however, a small figure tackled him to the ground and stabbed a sword through him. The Orc died quickly and Bilbo Baggins stood in front of Thorin, waving his small sword about threateningly. Azog made to move his Warg forward but Aderyn turned around as much as possible and placed her hands on his chest. Her eyes were wide and pleading, causing a tiny piece of Azog's heart to shatter at the expression. "The Hobbit, please don't kill him. Azog please leave him be! The Dwarf king is as good as dead anyway, can we not just leave?"

Before the pale Orc could even answer, a few of the other Dwarves came running toward the group. They began fighting viciously and Azog pulled his steed backwards. Suddenly Kili, who had been standing a distance away shooting arrows, turned and fired blindly in their direction. The arrow hit Aderyn in the shoulder from the side with enough force to make her fall from her seat. Azog snarled and reached out toward her but she was snatched by one of Dwarves who quickly pulled her away by her hair. The woman grunted in pain and reached out for Azog, calling for him desperately.

"Dwalin let me go! Please! I'm sorry! Let me go!" Aderyn's voice was pleading but her struggles spoke of an inner violence that none of the Dwarves wanted released on them. "I'll do no such thing. The pale Orc seems taken with you. We'll use that to our advantage." Before she could answer, giant eagles came swooping out of the skies and began picking up the Dwarves. One grabbed Aderyn and dropped her over the side but she landed on another Eagle's back. Azog screamed in anger as both she and Thorin were taken away.

Hearing his scream, Aderyn turned and looked at him. His good hand was stretched out toward her as if he hoped to still be able to grab her. The woman reached her hand toward him then, making a reckless decision, she jumped off the back of the eagle she was on. Tucking her arms and legs close to herself, she fell faster than any of the eagles could dive. The Dwarves yelled in surprise while Azog screamed her name loudly. They all lost sight of her and the pale Orc turned away, knowing she would probably die from the fall.

Aderyn screamed as she fell but kept her eyes on the river below. Hitting the water would either kill her or break a bone. Either way she wasn't escaping this without injury but she wouldn't be used as a pawn in a Dwarvish game of run away. Aderyn was tired of running. Azog's name was the last thing to leave her mouth as she suddenly plunged into the dark, rushing river below.

A.N Okay so remember how I said this was a one shot type story? Well I've gotten requests to continue so I'm going to give it a shot. Please review and let me know what you think!
