[Nevtalathiel]

Thrakatburz looked around sharply, the halfling was following obediently behind her, easily swayed by her elven looks. But Thrakatburz could feel someone watching her. She could see no one, but she knew that did not mean she was alone. It must be that elven sorceress, she had felt her presence in the camp, but had not been able to find her. Keldin was here too, she could sense it. She smiled. She had waited so long to avenge her son's death. She could never forget the pain he had caused her, but she could show him what it was like.
And then it was gone, just as soon as it had begun and she was alone with the halfling again. If the elf had seen her, she would have seen the hobbit too, and would no doubt try to save her. Thrakatburz would have to work even faster then, to move Elrond and secure her captive in a secret place where neither the elves nor the orcs would find them. And if Azruk followed the sorceress, he would find her and question why she was not where she should be. He was an uruk, but he was not stupid. He knew about Elrond's disappearance and if Thrakatburz was not hiding, he would easily put two and two together. If he did, the situation would not be easily explained and she knew what she would have to endure in order to gain his favour again.
