So Just throwing in the chapters here, Now I have to sleep, but Thanks for the reading! hope you enjoy it!

The next morning Thorin woke up when the sun rise, he went over to the camp fire place and warmed his hands. He sat down next to Bofur who had the early shift.

"You can catch about an hour or two of sleep Bofur, if you go now, I'll take over here."

He didn't look at Bofur, he just stared at the fire. Bofur looked at him, but did not stand up, or move away.

"Thorin, what's the matter? You seem so sad, is something bothering you?"

Thorin seemed surprised, and went all silent for awhile.

"I may not be as brave and strong like you Thorin, but my history before joining my brothers in your company is quite sad you know. So I know that look upon your face. It gets better if you speak the words out loud, do not keep them in your head! It will destroy you, really"

Thorin throws a log on the fire.

"Yeah, i know Bofur, its just..." Thorin chuckled a bit

"I nearly got my nephews killed! and I yelled so much at Kili, I said so many thing i did not mean! It wasn't even true Bofur! I promised Dis I keep them safe, but because of me.. They are in great danger. Azog now surely know who Kili are, and it was only luck i got him back here without them hearing us. And what if.. what if he had killed Kili before I got there? I nearly lost Fili in the goblin cave! And if Gandalf didn't save them both, what would have happened?"

Thorin felt relieved, he swallowed and felt the pressure of the angst of losing his nephews. It might now be clear for Bofur what was on Thorin's mind, but it was now even more clear to himself as well.

"Well, think of them as little baby birds, they must jump out of the nest, and sometimes they fall to the ground. But they survive! they may have a few scratches but they'll come back so much stronger. I know they will."

Bofurs voice is filled with so much positive tunes and Thorin seems good for a moment, but soon regret his reaction.

"But Bofur.. I... I yelled at Kili for no reason. I was just so scared. And now I... He probably don't want to speak with me no more. He surely hates me now, I am the reason for all the bad things that happened to him. he'll never forgive me for that."

Bofur looked at Thorin and smiled a bit.

"You know the lad look up to you, he's as strong as you are! Just give the lad some time. He'll turn around. You just show him that you trust him. Yeah? And don't forget, you need to apologize for that fight! yeah, and unleash him, let him be. You can see that Fili takes care of him yeah. So the best thing you can do is let him out of your sight for a bit. Nothing is better then that feeling. The feeling that the person you look up to completely trust you. yeah?"

Bofur smiled. And somehow Thorin felt more at ease.

"Yeah, Thanks Bofur. really."

Thorin was insecure of what to say next so he coughed a bit.

"You can still catch some sleep Bofur, before we have to keep going."

Bofur nodded his head and went over to his bed, alongside Bombur and Ori. Thorin sat by the fire, just staring into the flames. Thinking and processing the things Bofur said to him, it made so much sense. But it was overwhelming to face the fear.

Then suddenly Gandalf walked past him, on the other side of the fireplace.

"Gandalf? Where are you going?"

Thorin had a confused look on his face.

"I am going to get more potion! You dwarfs drink it up faster than I can make it!"

Thorin shook his head, there the wizard runs off again. Leaving them to themselves, he said nothing. just looked over towards the two nephews, sleeping besides each other. In piece just like they did when they were little.

There the two brother lay, reunited and safe. But both of them hurt, Gandalf had done his best of healing them. But it took a lot of his energy, probably why he left so early.

The brothers were finally together again. Kili felt so comfortable and warm besides Fili, and he painfully crawled against his elder brother. He exhales slowly to minimize the pain in his ribs, he leans his head on Fili's shoulder. The older brother wakes up and looked down.

"Kili, kili are you alright? how are you feeling? You ok? It's so good to see you awake brother!"

Kili smiles.

"I knew you would find me!"

Fili smiles back

"I didn't, uncle did. But I was here when he brought you back. And i have not left your side for a minute!"

Kili coughed in the laugh. And had to bite his teeth of the pain, he was still sore in the ribs .Balin walk to the brothers.

"Hey lads, how is it today? feeling better?" The two dwarf brothers look at Balin with the same expression.

"Well, Gandalf can perform miracles, he really can."

Fili tried tumbling to stand up, but was stopped by Balin.

"No, rest a bit more, I'll tell you when we are leaving. try get some sleep. Your' wound might be healed, but much of the pain will still be there. Rest now."

Fili laid down at his brothers side who now closes his eyes. passing out almost instantly.

After a short nap, one of the dwarfs came to the brothers with some breakfast.

"You two lads must try to take it easy yeah!" A voice said to them. It sounded like Balin.

They were told to take it easy, so they just lay besides each other, not saying a word. Only to get curious of what happened to the other. Carefully sitting up eating their breakfast and a bottle each, it was potion, given to them by Balin, who'd got them from Gandalf the night before.

The dwarves had to get moving, Thorin sent most of the company away to the blue mountains to get backup, left behind was Thorin himself, Fili, Kili, Dwalin, and Balin.

Thorin walked over to the two nephews.

"Hey, lads good to see you in such good shape. But you two should get some more rest before we take of yeah? Now, the rest of the company have gone to seek help from my brother Dain. And in the meantime you you two catch some sleep. I'll wake you up when it's time to go yeah?"

He smiled, and looked from one to the other.

"Yeah" Fili answered for both of them.

Kili just laid down and shut his eyes, not saying a word to his uncle. It is not before Thorin has walked away and Fili laid down that Kili manages to fall asleep, completely exhausted. He feels so safe with his brother besides him.

As Kili falls to sleep, Fili lies awake and try to imagine what happened to his brother. He had been so quiet since he returned. he hasn't spoken a single word to Thorin.

Something was up, and Fili needed to know. As the time went by Filis curiosity grew stronger by every minute. For every rasped and shaky breath Kili took, and every whimper he led out when he moved made Fili uneasy. With a painful moan Kili turned around on his stomach and his sweater was slightly pulled upwards in the move. Fili sat up and tilted his head, trying to see better, he thought he saw some stained blood on the shirt as well as underneath it. He carefully pulled it up some more, and his eyes widened by the sight.

Deep scars and huge, dark bruises meets Filis eyes, filling them with tears.

"what have these monsters done to you brother?"

He whispered quietly. Then Kili suddenly wakes up and realize what had just Fili discovered, he sits up and moans from the sudden pain.

"What are you doing?"

He looks at his brother with shame written all over him.

"It's nothing Fili. Just... You saw Nothing!"

He stumbles to his feet and walks over to a tree. He felt sick with the thought of Fili knowing what he went though, he'd rather keep it to himself. Fili followed his brother with his eyes.

"Fili! Kili! we can not wait any longer, we must make a move. Fili, can you stand up?"

Fili snapped out of the trance.

"yeah, yeah I'll be fine. The healing has helped a lot, I'll tell you if I need a break."

Balin then came over and looked confused from one to the other," I'll pack this for you. You two can start moving, that way"

He pointed towards a huge mountain.

"are we scouting?"Fili asked.

"Yeah"

The voice came from right behind him.

"You two are the best scouts we got. So you just be careful yeah?"

The uncle looked down on the two brothers.

"yeah" Replied Fili proud.

Fili dragged Kili with him and started to walk in the direction of the mountain. Kili said nothing, just followed besides his brother.
