Falling

Even though he knew he was dying, he really didn't care.

Fili had failed his brother.

The brother who was lying next to him, bloody and unmoving.

The brother Fili had promised to protect.


He could feel his heartbeat getting slower and slower, weaker, and he was just so cold.

Am I shivering? Had Kili felt like this when he died? Had he been in pain?

Fili was disgusted with himself for not knowing.

He was getting a bit sleepy, which was kind of weird because it was so cold it felt like he was burning. Was this his punishment for not being there for Kili? If it was, he deserved every second of it.

And Kili... Forgive me brother.

It was getting a bit warmer. And he could feel himself falling, warm and safe, surrounded by comforting darkess.

Don't worry Kili, I will never leave you alone again.


A/N: I was trying to put myself on Fili's place and this is what I came up with.
