There was nothing Fili could do for his brother now and that was the worst feeling ever. All he could do was watch his brother die. He twisted round looking for Tauriel. That elf helped his brother before and even though he didn't approve of it; their bond might make her save his brother. Kili groaned slightly and all of Fili's attention turned back to him.

Kili tried to smile through the pain. He always pulled a brave face and tried to never let on that he was hurt. Fili tried to return the smile but his face kept falling back into despair no matter how hard he tried

The younger dwarf shifted slightly and his face faltered, his fear and pain coming through. "I'm going to die, aren't I?" he asked quietly, looking at his brother, hoping he would deny it but knowing it was true. "you would of thought I'd be used to it now." he tried to joke. Fili's eyes swam with tears but he wouldn't let any fall, he had to be strong for his brother.

"I don't want to die." he said quietly, sounding like a child again. Fili pulled him closer and a sob racked through the older brother's body. He started to sing to his brother to try and sooth him. He sung The Misty Mountain song they had sung in Bilbo's house all those months ago, back when this quest was an adventure and there was no way they could fail.

Kili started weakly rooting around his pocket for something and when he found it he forced it into Fili's hand. It was the small token their mother had given Kili to keep him safe and remind him to come home.

"Give it to mother," he murmured weakly, "She deserves at least one son home." Fili griped onto the stone and promised she would get it.

"Thanks..." Kili breathed, and went still in Fili's arms.

Fili called his brother and shook him but he wouldn't come back. Finally he lay him down beside Uncle Thorin. He picked up his sword where it was abandoned. Fili could feel his grief turn to anger. He was going to make every orc and goblin Pay for his brother's death

He slashed his way recklessly through many Orcs, never straying far from where his brother and uncle lay. He was struck by an arrow but the anger pumping through his veins over powered the pain. But then Fili felt a sharp pain through his chest. He look down to see a blade pull back out again. He swung for the Orc that had stabbed him, managing to decapitate it. All Fili could think about was his brother. With great strength he stared towards where Kili lay, but soon collapsed to the ground where he stared to pull himself forward. He had to see Kili one last time. His strength didn't give up until he was inches away, but he still stretched for him. He just couldn't reach. Everything was fading but he still reached for his little brother. His fingers just brushed Kili's skin as the last of his life faded and everything went black.
