The day seemed to start off well. The sun was out, the dwarves were busy at work doing all jobs, Fili was with Merira, speaking to her father about courting her, staying to tradition. Dis had just left Kili to sleep whilst Thorin was talking to Gandalf and also Tauriel. She had made her point that her place was here with Kili whilst he was like this. Thorin had accepted this.
Thorin looked at Gandalf. "He complains of the wound from his leg." Gandalf nodded. "I am not surprised, that is a morgul arrow, a very dangerous thing. You should be thankful that it wasn't a morgul blade." Thorin knew this and nodded.
"I thought I had healed him in lake town." Tauriel said, looking worried.
"So you had, but wounds that are made by evil, remain for the rest of our lives, much like scars." Gandalf contiuned. "Is he sleeping? How is Fili doing?"
"Fili is doing well, he is courting at the moment. But he is worried about his brother, though he tries not the worry cloud his day to day activities, he has lost a lot of sleep."
"Well, that is understandable. But the pain should pass within the next few days are so."
Whilst they were talking, Kili had gotten out of bed. He stared ahead, pale, dark shadows under his eyes. He could hear whispering and looked round, frightened. Breathing heavily. He stumbled through a empty hall, where only a few weeks ago, he was running around happily and laughing with his brother. He walked over to the table, picking up a knife. He looked round, hearing strange language in his head.
Kili whimpered and tried to run off, but he found he couldn't move. A strange whistling sound was going through his head, but he seemed to enjoy it. His body swayed back and fourth for a moment before he turned, making his way down the hall. In the shaodws, he could see things moving. Kili cried softly before moving away from them.
As he walked towards where his uncle, Gandalf and Tauriel were at, Gandalf turned round. "Kili!" Thorin jumped off his throne and went to walk towards him. "No, Thorin, stay back." Gandalf's word stopped him, then he saw the knife. Tauriel moved forward and she spoke to Kili. The young dwarf stared at Thorin, as though he was weighing him up.
"Do es un meno las to eth?" She spoke. Kili stopped and looked at her. His eyes were hollow and skin even more hollow it seemed. He actually hissed at her, backed away from her and ran off, ignoring the pain in his body. Thorin called after him. Kili turned, and crashed into Fili. Both ended up on the floor.
Fili rolled over and managed to pin his brother down. "Brother! What is Durin's name are you doing?" Kili struggled and screamed, but it wasn't a normal scream. The scream was high pitched, and where he lay, cracks appeared the floor, as though his screams could do such a thing. Fili moved back and Tauriel held him close. "Don't go near him." Gandalf came over and put his hand onto Kili's head, muttering something.
The screaming continued for a a few more minutes, as Kili struggled. He stared at Gandalf, his eyes now almost seemed black. Fili watched on. "His eyes were like this in Laketown." Eventually, it stopped and Kili gasped and looked round. "Fee-wee? what am I doing here?"
"I.. I don't know, you sleep walk. Come on, I'll take you back." He walked over to him and helped his brother back to his room. Thorin picked up the blade and looked at it.
"What was he doing with this?"
"I do not know, but I believe the episode has passed. Remember, the wound is still fresh in his body and in his mind, like all of you. It seemes that a older enemy's power is growing once more. I will return in four months."
"Four months?!"
"Yes! And if you cannot wait that long, you can find yourself another wizard." Gandalf walked off, wondering what it all meant. Fili had taken Kili to his room. Merira had come as well. Kili lay in his bed. Fili looked at him. "Kili?" But his brother wouldn't answer him. Merira put her hand on Fili's shoulder. "Leave him for a hour, he'll come round." Fili nodded and left with her. Kili lay still and silent on the bed.
Fili and Merira returned in one hour, Kili was much better and after a while, him and Merira had raided the kitchen, he was now happily snacking in his room, talking to Fili and Merira (who he liked much better now since she had grabbed the chocolate cake). Fili didn't approve of this, but he enjoyed the food none the less.
But Thorin, Gandalf and most importantly, Tauriel had seen a new darkness in Kili caused by a old wound and it made them wonder of things to come. Thorin wondered, as he lay in bed that night, if his family would ever be free of such curses.
I do apologize if my elvish was.. well it was rubbish, but you know. Thank you all for my reviews. I was inspired by that moment when Frodo is almost grabbed by the Nazgul and Sam dives on him, the moment torn between reality and illusion. Don't worry! I have gotten over the.. Dark stages for now! Keep up for more Firia and Kiliel fluff and Durin family cuteness!
