Alright! Well I'm back with a new story! Whoot. I have no computer anymore and have to come to the library. Hope you all enjoy.
Spoilers for the new movie! Hope you have all seen it.
I felt as the boat started to move and glide across the water. I couldn't bare to look back at my nephews. My heart fell to my stomach the moment my hand touched Kili's shoulder to stop him from going to the boat. The only thing that filled my mind was the horrified look Kili gave me as I told him he was to stay behind. My poor nephew looked so ill but I couldn't bare it if Kili was to get worse as the company went on. And I couldn't take the risk if Kili was to fall while in battle.
I was disappointed that he had said nothing to me about how bad off he was. I could still see the look he gave me as he lay on the stairway ashamed and embarrassed, but he looked truly sorry. And I can remember the disapproving look I sent back down to him even though a human had a knife to his throat. His bad choice to keep how bad his injury was, was overly foolish. My nephew could have gotten me, his brother or anyone else in the company hurt or worse killed.
I was glad but disappointed that Fili had chosen to stay with his kin than to follow me. He was next to be king and he needed to see from my point of view and how leaving Kili behind was the safest move.
Fili had such heart for this quest it had shined in his eyes, but I didn't see that look in my oldest nephews eyes the last time he stared at me. The moment I had coldly told Kili to stay behind was when Fili looked as broken as his brother did. Fili was very loyal to his brother. "Kili!"
The shout I heard tore me out of my deep thoughts, my head snapped up as I turned around to see why my oldest nephew had yelled. To my horror Kili was leaning away from his brother and was about to fall off the crate he was sitting on if not for Fili holding him up. "Kili." I whispered, my eyes became wide as all the men in my company even the burglar looked up at me.
I looked to my left at the docks that were so close to me, I could jump as the ledge wasn't that far. I looked back at my two nephews, it was the first time that I saw how really pale my youngest was. His face had lost all its color, his dark hair making it that much more noticeable of how white he was. How could I have not noticed how badly he was before? Was my quest to reclaim my homeland more important than my own blood?
I looked back at my men my mind was made up. "Turn this boat around! Now!"
I watched Ori reach over the side of the boat paddling at the cold water with his arms. Bombur was on the other side doing the same but with his huge spoon causing the boat to shake. As I got closer to my nephews my heart began to beat even faster than it already was. Once the boat got closer to the dock I jumped the rest of the way falling to my knees in front of my youngest. "Kili?"
I grabbed his chin making him look at me but his eyes were glassy and a strange white haze covered his once clear bright brown ones.
"Uncle?" Kili whispered blinking at me a few times, trying to focus on my face. Both of my nephews rarely called me uncle since this quest had started, Fili only calling me it a few minutes before. And hearing him call me it made me afraid. What if his leg caught an infection and I'm too late to do anything about it? I should have checked on him instead of being so intent on this quest. If Dis hears of how I have been treating her sons she would have nothing to do with me. I swore to her that I would keep them safe, she also made Fili promise to keep an eye on his brother and so far he was doing a better job then I.
I brushed my thumb over Kili's cheek, his skin was cold and clammy. He had beads of sweat rolling down his face as his body shook. "You'll be alright Kili." I told him as I looked up at Fili. My oldest looked back at me with watery eyes and I knew what was going though his mind…the same thing as mine. What if he doesn't make it?
I looked around at the humans that all stood watching. "I need shelter." I asked of the king of the village who was watching me.
"Bard! Take him to your home!" The king of Laketown shouted.
Bard looked slightly worried looking down at the young dwarf but as his eyes lay on me I saw hate and anger. "Bring him."
Alright I am proud of this chapter. And Hopefully it was not a disappointment to anyone else. And does anyone else think it was wrong of Thorin to leave his nephews behind? Poor Kili. It wasn't in the book and I don't think it should have been in the move. I love there familyness and that seemed out of place. Please let me know your thoughts. reviews are loved beyond faves or following. :D
