Chapter 1: Brother!
Author's note: This is my first Hobbit fanfic. There will be no brother on brother slashing but their may be pairing of some characters later on in the story. Please leave reviews on what you think of the story so far and if you have any ideas I'd love to hear them. Constructive criticism is always welcome.
Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own the Hobbit or the characters. They all belong to the one and only J.R.R Tolkien.
"Kee!" Fili yelled. His brother's grip starting to falter. "Please." He begged as he felt himself start to slip again.
"Don't let go Fee. Don't you dare let go. We're going to get out of here. Thorin will find us any minute now and then we'll go back home and mum will yell at us for being foolish again." Kili rambled, he could hear the words pouring out. His desperate meaningless pleas that he only hoped would come true. He knew he could only hold on for so much longer. His little twenty year old arms weren't nearly strong enough to be able to hold both him and his brother up. He felt as though his shoulders were being ripped out of their sockets as he refused to let go of either his brother nor the root that was keeping them from plunging to their deaths in the deep dark unforgiving waters a hundred feet below them.
They both knew that it wasn't long now. They were young but not numb and they could both tell that Kili's arms were going to give out soon. They were both going to die.
It was in that moment, with rain running down them soaking their clothes and making their hair stick to their cheeks. While silent tears dribbled down Fili's face. It was in this moment that Fili knew what he had to do. It was his fault after all. It was his idea to try to steal the baby boar from his mother while she wasn't watching. It was his idea to run in a direction they knew nothing about after they abandoned the mission when the mama boar took off after them. He should have been watching where he was running, if he had then maybe he wouldn't have ran right to the edge of the cliff only to slip on the wet grass and go over the edge. Then maybe Kiki wouldn't have had to dive after him only to get himself stuck in this situation too. No Fili knew exactly what to do. To save his little brother he had to let go. It was his turn to save him. His turn to be the selfless one.
So Fili let go. Silent tears streaming down his face as he plummeted down towards the icy unforgiving water below. It's current as black as the night sky above and rough from the storm that was raging on around him.
He could barely hear Kili's scream over the crashing of waves and roaring of wind. His raven haired brother's hand reaching down towards him and he fell, brown eyes wide with terror as he watched his brother fall to his death below him. While not able to do a thing, and it was in that moment that was the beginning and the end, of these two boy's journeys.
Thank you so much for reading my story! Please review if you want to. I'd love to hear what you have to say. I know this chapter is very short but the rest should be longer.
