A/N: I decided to up the rating on this because I realized that some of the interactions between Kenzi and Fili in the first chapter could be considered "adult themes" and I didn't want my story to be taken down. Not like that was really a possibility since it's been up for who knows how long and nothing has happened. BUT! On with the last chapter. I hope you enjoy. I realize this one was shorter than the first installment, but whatever.


They got Kili into the house and laid out on one of the beds. Kenzi stepped back as Fili tried to keep Kili from messing with the wound. Oin was looking at the wound and Bofur brought over a bowl of hot water.

"Can you not do something?" asked Fili.

"I need herbs. Something to bring down his fever," said Oin.

"I have nightshade. I have feverfew," said Bard pulling out various bottles of herbs.

"They are of no use to me. Do you have any kingsfoil?" asked Oin.

"No, it's a weed," said Bard. "We feed it to the pigs."

"Pigs? Weed. Right," said Bofur. He turned and pointed at Kili before saying, "Don't move," then he was running out the door in search of the herb.

Fili dipped the sponge he had in his hand in cool water, trying to get his brother's fever down. Kenzi was pacing back and forth as she watched helplessly. Bard watched her watching the Dwarves.

"Is he your beloved?" asked Bard.

"No, but his brother is," she said. "And there is nothing I can do to fix Kili or calm Fili," she said looking at Bard. "Thank you again for helping us."

Bard just nodded his head. It was a fever that took his own beloved. He grabbed the bottles of herbs and put the back on the shelf. Kenzi sighed and sunk down on the bench next to his daughters. Sigrid was sewing old clothes back together, hoping to get another season out of them, while Tilda was working on her own stitching, which she was doing begrudgingly.


There was a rumbling sound and the house started to shake. Dirt fell from the ceiling and everyone stopped and looked around. Kenzi was having a bad feeling about the Company. There was only one thing she could think of that would make the ground quake this close to the mountain.

"Da?" said Sigrid looking over to her father.

"It's coming from the mountain," said Bain.

"You should leave us. Take your children and get out of here," said Fili walking over to Bard. "Take Kenzi as well."

"And go where? There is nowhere to go," said Bard.

"Are we going to die, Da?" asked Tilda.

"No, darling," said Bard, tears in his eyes.

"The dragon, it's going to kill us," said Tilda.

Bard looked at his children and the reached up towards the rafters. He grabbed hold of something and pulled. He brought down a Black Arrow that had been hanging, hidden in plain sight.

"Not if I kill it first," said Bard. "Look after the children. Keep them safe," he said looking towards Kenzi.

Kenzi nodded her head as Bard quietly made his way out of the house. Bain looked to Kenzi before following his father out of the house.


Sigrid finished what she was doing and walked out to the small platform outside her door. She looked around but didn't see anyone. She could hear movement, and thought it was her father.

"Da? Is that you, Da?" she said looked around.

She stood there for a moment or two longer before sighing and turning back towards her house. Kenzi was sitting on the bench when they heard a creaking sound from the roof. Oin had looked up at the ceiling and then they heard Sigrid scream before backing into the house trying to close the door. Suddenly the door was forced open and an Orc was standing in the door. Oin threw something at it as another came dropping through the ceiling behind Kenzi. Kenzi screamed and jumped up. Another Orc forced his way through the door, knocking Sigrid over. She fell onto the bench before rolling under the table. Kenzi grabbed Tilda and forced her under the table as well. Just as Kenzi was climbing under the table herself Fili came running past her, rushing the Orc. More Orcs were joining the fight. It was clear that they were outnumbered. Suddenly Tauriel and Legolas came bursting through the door, dispatching Orcs left and right.

"You killed them all," said Bain standing up.

"There are others," said Legolas walking out the door. "Tauriel. Come."

Tauriel looked at Legolas before turning her gaze back to Kili. Oin was kneeling over him.

"We're losing him," he said.

Legolas called her name once more before taking off after the Orcs. Tauriel moved towards the door, but didn't follow. She grabbed her knives, ready to fight who or whatever was coming up the stairs. It was then she saw it was another Dwarf. In his hands was an herb.

"Athelas," she said taking it from him. "Athelas."

"What are you doing?" asked Bofur watching her hold tight to the plant.

"I'm going to save him," she said before turning and going back into the house.

Tauriel stripped the plant from the stems into a bowl of hot water that Tilda was holding. Oin, Bofur and Fili had moved Kili to the table and were trying to hold him down. Kenzi was standing at his head, trying to keep him still. She was whispering soothing words to him, but he was losing focus on everything. If they didn't hurry he would be lost to them.

"Hold him down," said Tauriel walking over to his wounded leg. She started chanting something in Elvish as she rubbed the paste into the wound. Fili had a tight grip on his brother's upper half trying to keep him still.

Sigrid came over and grabbed his other leg to keep him from kicking someone. She called out to her sister to come help her. Kili cried out as she pushed the herb paste into the wound. Fili stared in awe as Tauriel continued to chant. Kenzi was supporting Kili's head. When she was done, Tauriel took strips of cloth and started to wrap up Kili's leg. Kenzi took one of the wet cloths and dabbed it across his forehead. Oin and Fili stepped away towards the kitchen.

"I've heard tell of the wonders of Elvish medicine," said Oin. "That was a privilege to witness."

"Tauriel," whispered Kili.

"Lie still," she said looking over at him.

"You cannot be her. She is far away," said Kili. "She is far, far away from me. She walks in starlight in another world. It was just a dream," he said reaching for her hand. "Do you think she could have loved me?"

Tauriel started to say something but Kili lost consciousness again. Kenzi looked up at Tauriel when the ground started to shake again. Tilda grabbed her doll as the rest of the company looked towards the sky. Kenzi saw it, a small speck at first, but quickly it was becoming larger and larger. The rest of the town had spotted it as well. As soon as Smaug was at the edge of the town he rained down fire on them.

"Fili, what do we do?" asked Kenzi.

Fili turned to look at her, she had fear written all over her face. With no answer he grabbed her and kissed her hard. Kenzi wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him close.

"I love you," she whispered.


A/N: Currently working on the last installment of this series. The 2nd movie had alot more of the Bilbo in the Mountain scenes then the rest of the company so this installment was shorter by 2 chapter. We'll see what the last movie holds for us and for Fili and Kenzi!
