A/N

Glad you guys enjoyed the last chapter! :)

To clarify, Azog mind controlled Kili with his magic, but he also wanted Kili to be willing to go under it so he manipulated him first to make him hate his uncle more! However, there IS still the real Kili left, and you can see him with Fili!

Also, this isn't exactly movie OR book verse as you can tell. I'm just bringing in orcs whenever I want to because I'm like that.

Enjoy this as well? lol

Fili hugged Kili again. "So you are well?" He asked. "You arm-oh." He held Kili's burnt arm, to see that the burn marks were still very visible. "Does it still hurt?"

Kili shook his head."Not at all. I missed you, Fili." He said softly. "Is everyone asleep?" He asked.

"Yes." Fili's eyes watered. "I can't believe this. Kili! You're alive!" He sobbed, grinning. "Kili is alive!" He called out. "And he's back here! With me! You're so strong, Kili! I never doubted you! Ever!"

Kili smiled momentarily, then his face fell. "Uncle must have doubted me." He remarked dryly. "He was probably happy to think I died."

"No..."

Fili sighed. Why could Kili not get over their Uncle's harsh words? Surely they were hard on him, but Kili was brave and smart, and he should have understood that Thorin never really meant it. Kili had always said rude stuff to Fili, and vice versa, but they always forgave each other nonetheless because they knew their love for each other was bigger than a simple speech mistake.

Kili crossed his arms. "Don't you tell me 'no', Fili." He said. "Whatever you try to do, I don't think I'll be able to forgive Uncle. Oh, Fili, if only you knew the truth behind him!" He sighed, exasperated. "You know nothing of Thorin. This quest made me understand him and his true intentions. Thorin loves me not. As a matter of fact, he does not love you either. He is selfish, Fili!"

Fili's eyes widened. "Kili, you cannot be serious." He whispered, brushing back a hair strand from Kili's angered face. "Why do you assume this? You are back with us now, you are safe. You should try to forget that, we're together again. We can all be well and now that you're healed, we can all get to Erebor and live a good life, Kili. You must stop holding grudges."

"You will never understand Fili!" Kili yelled desperately, shaking his head. "You don't understand how dangerous this is for you! I care for your life more than mine!"

"You're not making any sense!" Fili stared at his brother, wide eyed. What was Kili on about? Surely it was the effects of the sickness? He rubbed his temple and bit his lip. "Kili listen to yourself!"

Kili punched the tree beside him, and Fili jumped in surprise from the loud snap. Kili's eyes were filled with tears. "Everything I do is for you. Everything! I don't care about my own life, but if this is going to affect you as well, I must act against it."

"What are you even talking about?" Fili whispered, tilting his head and narrowing his eyes. "Kili, here I am, glad to see you again and for all I know, I still don't believe youre real, and you're talking about this nonsense and... Can we forget about that for a while?" He pleaded. "I finally have you back, I don't want to argue with you. I can't believe you're back, Kili. And you know I would do anything for you as well, Kili. I trust you with my life."

Fili smiled and opened his arms, and Kili immediately ran into them and buried his face into his brother's chest again. He nodded. "I don't want anyone but you Fili." He murmured. "You're the only one I trust."

"Fili? You've been taking a piss for too long, lad. Are you okay?" Came Dwalin's voice. Fili patted Kili's back and grinned, and Dwalin stopped when he saw them. "What is going on here?"

"He's back." Fili breathed, his eyes suddenly watering. "You can see him too? He's not just my imagination?" He asked, hugging Kili closer. Dwalin walked slowly over to them and placed a hand on Kili's shoulder.

"He's real all right." Dwalin grinned. "How did you get back here, lad? Where have you been all along?"

Kili smiled. "I managed to beat up the Orc and I found a potion he had that helped heal all my wounds. It was magical." He lied again. "I have been behind you, as the wounds healed faster and faster, and I began to catch up to you."

Dwalin pulled Kili into a hug then. "You gave us quite a fright. You know, losing a prince isn't something easy, especially when he is nothing but a babe who is barely of age yet." He said, winking. "Come back to camp, you are probably hungry. Fili, you can sit with him, I'll wake up Nori to help me guard."

Fili nodded eagerly and pulled Kili along back to the campsite, where all dwarves lay sleeping around the fire. Kili tensed when he spotted Thorin; he was awake with his back facing them. He was smoking from his pipe.

"Uncle!" Fili ran to his uncle, holding Kili's arm and dragging him along. Thorin turned around abruptly, afraid that the ponies had been stolen or that an attack was coming on. However, what greeted him made him stand up hastily and his eyes water.

"K-Kili?" He asked.

Kili didn't smile. "Not what you expected? I'm sorry, Uncle. I am sorry for being alive after you were finally rid of my burden." He said bitterly.

Thorin, however, ignored his talk and pulled him into a hug, sobbing gently. "You're alive... Alive!" He whispered in disbelief. "My little Kili... Where were you? I searched for you everywhere, I tracked all the footsteps, and I couldn't find you! What happened? How are-" he pulled back.

"How am I alive?" Finished Kili. "I managed to hurt the orc, and I found he had a potion which helped me heal quickly." He crossed his arms, still refusing to smile. "And I made my way after you. You know, I'm surprised you left so quickly after my supposed death."

"We had to." Thorin said sadly. "We had no proof you were coming back."

"You mean you didn't want me to come back." Snapped Kili, turning away. Fili exhaled, exasperated, and shook his head at his uncle sadly. "You care for no one."

Fili held Kili's shoulder. "Kili, please. Don't do this. Uncle cares for you and you know it. Please stop." He pleaded. "For my sake? Can't we have a happy reunion?"

Kili looked at Fili, and Fili saw the guilt lingering in Kili's eyes. Kili gulped loudly and hugged Thorin, clearly looking forced to do it. "I missed you Uncle. I'm so happy to see you again!"

Fili sighed. "For god's sake, Kili." He muttered. Kili pulled away and shrugged.

"I tried."

Fili rolled his eyes and playfully punched his brother's shoulder. "Come on, Kili. Don't you want to eat? We have eggs today, can you believe it? We haven't had eggs in so long now! You should eat them before Bombur wakes."

Kili ate with Fili, feeling his uncle's stare carving into his back. As Fili spoke to him, he daydreamed, remembering what Azog had told him about Thorin. Thanks to Azog's magic, Kili only saw his uncle as an actor, who carefully picked every word he said and begged for sympathy from those around him. Thinking about Thorin made the inner turmoil rise again within Kili.

"Kili?"

Kili looked at Fili, confused. Fili sighed. "Where have your thoughts travelled off to?" He smiled. "Good lord, I cannot get enough of you!" He exclaimed suddenly. "I miss your presence so much, and your messy hair, and your childish face!" Fili paused, a worried look glazing over his face. Kili did not look childish anymore. If anything, Fili could not see any trace of childhood in his brother's face anymore; his brother, who always looked innocent and playful.

The brothers ate in silence for a while, Fili grinning the whole time.

"Attack!"

Fili stood up immediately upon hearing the raged scream, and he frantically began waking up the other dwarves. Kili pulled out his sword, standing close to his uncle. Orcs appeared from the bushes, running into the sleepy dwarves and screaming battle screams.

Thorin began to fight, and Fili killed around four orcs immediately. Nori let out a pained cry as his arm got stabbed, but he kept fighting nonetheless. Kili stood behind, not fighting any orcs or helping any dwarves. However, none of the dwarves seemed to notice. Kili looked around for Azog, but could not find him.

Suddenly, he spotted Azog behind one of the trees. Azog pointed to Thorin angrily and pulled out his sword, gesturing a stab. Kili nodded right away and stood near his uncle. He slashed at an orc in front of his uncle and before Thorin had a chance to look away, Kili pointed his sword to Thorin's throat.
