Sorry I haven't written anything in months! I got busy with graduation and moving and college junk...but I'm basically just lazy. This isn't the end, but I figured I would add more for everyone who is still following this story (blows my mind - THANK YOU) and there will be more to come. I just have to actually sort out the ending somehow. You have no idea how many times I've sat down and tried to resolve all of this - but it will happen! Anyways, thanks again to everyone who has stuck with this dumb, never-ending fic! :3 Hopefully you enjoy this bit.

Kili could hear a faint sound echoing through the forest and paused to listen. It was a voice, but he couldn't make out what it was saying.

"Hello?" he called out, waiting for a reply. The voice resounded through the trees again and he started walking in the direction it seemed to be coming from.

"Who's there?" Kili asked as he stalked through the branches and growing darkness. Aside from the voice, the forest was completely silent, as if the mists surrounding it had muted all noise. He looked up to the trees and saw no birds, the sky above him entirely covered by a sheet of dark grey clouds. He walked slowly, holding his breath as he did so until he heard the sudden rustle of leaves behind him.

Kili turned around abruptly but saw nothing in the clearing behind him, just the empty forest floor surrounded by close knit trees that formed a thick wall of branches. He stared for a moment at the spot searching for any sign of movement.

"Kili…"

The sound of his name caused Kili's head to jerk forward, his eyes scanning ahead.

"Hello?" he called again, taking a tentative step forward.

"Kili!" the voice shouted more clearly this time, sounding distressed.

"Fili!" Kili shouted back, recognizing his brother's voice. "Fili, where are you?!" His eyes had grown wide with fear and worry and he started walking more quickly into the trees where the sound was coming from. He stumbled and almost fell, catching himself before plummeting to the ground. The forest was becoming darker and darker, making it harder for Kili to find his footing through the brush, but the calls of his brother pushed him forward.

"I'm here, Kili!" Fili's voice echoed from behind Kili in the opposite direction. Turning around, Kili began to follow the voice until it called to him from his left, "Over here."

Desperately Kili scrambled through the undergrowth and moved aside the heavy branches with sharp pine needles that cut his face. "Fili…Fili, where are you?" he called again, his voice growing hoarse with strangling fear.

"Help me!" Fili yelled loudly, making Kili sprint straight ahead towards the sound as fast as he could.

He tripped and fell, landing on the hard ground with his hands and knees. Kili gulped in air, hearing a dull booming sound that seemed to echo throughout the entire forest. As he looked frantically for the source of the noise, he realized it was the pounding of his own heart resounding in his ears.

Suddenly from behind him came a single long, low howl. The pounding in his ears became faster as his heart raced and the sound mixed with the silence of the trees followed by another longer howl which was echoed by a second, farther away.

Kili got to his feet as a frigid breeze swept through the bottom of the woods, carrying with it the sound of more wolf cries. He reached behind him, his hands searching for his quiver and bow but all he found was his bare back, rising and falling rapidly from his breathing.

"KILI!" he heard his brother scream.

Immediately Kili began sprinting blindly again, the chorus of howls growing closer and louder as more joined in the call. A flash of gold made Kili look to his left where he found his eyes meeting another pair racing alongside him, staring hungrily and intently. Then on his right another set of glowing eyes appeared, running in the trees where they were joined by more and more bright, terrifying orbs.

Kili ran as fast as he could, his entire body screaming in pain, his lungs verging on collapsing. He burst out of the thick trees and found himself standing in the same clearing again, but this time he was circled by eleven pairs of shining eyes and eleven sets of snarling teeth that chomped and dripped with anticipation.

His heart clenched at the realization that he could no longer hear his brother's voice, only a low collective growl. Out of the darkness emerged a giant beast, its mangled fur as dark as shadows, its golden eyes piercing through the darkness. The great wolf's head hung low as it slowly stalked forward to where Kili stood immobilized. With each heavy footfall, its pupils grew smaller and smaller until they were barely there, like tiny black dots in a pool of amber.

The wolf was taller than Kili, even as he stood, and it seemed to grow larger as it approached. The growls of the other wolves had silenced and all Kili could hear was the slow breathing of the black wolf drawing nearer. Their eyes met and every single hair on Kili's body stood on end as if electrified by terror.

The wolf was close enough that Kili could feel its hot breath on his face. It felt as though all the warmth of his blood had left his body, leaving Kili cold and trembling. He shut his eyes and waited for the end but nothing happened.

Then the clearing was filled with the deafening sound of every single wolf howling at the top of its lungs and Kili's eyes shot open to see a figure standing in front of him. Through the darkness and the confusion he struggled to get a clear image of the person.

"Thorin…" he whispered.

The king, who seemed to be twice his height, looked down on him with predatory eyes that changed from icy blue to haunting gold with tiny black dots in the center. Kili stumbled backwards and fell, still pushing himself back along the ground until he heard the snapping of jaws behind him, reminding him that he was surrounded.

When he looked back to the clearing the sight made his chest tighten so much he gasped for breath. Fili was lying on the cold ground, his clothes torn, his body bloodied.

"FILI!" he screamed desperately. Tears were forming in his eyes and he could feel them threatening to spill over. Kili crawled on all fours over to his brother, but was intercepted by Thorin, who drug the barely conscious Dwarf up to his feet by his hair. Kili cried out and then all at once, every single one of the wolves was barking like mad and snapping their teeth, creating a tremendous noise that filled Kili's ears to the point of bursting.

Thorin looked back over at Kili, whose body was now being wracked with tremors, and then his grin split into a giant muzzle filled with rows of sharp, shining teeth that tore into Fili's neck in one swift motion.

His own screaming jerked him upright and Kili gasped for air as sweat dripped down his back. His head whipped from side to side, "Fili…Fili…Fili…" he said over and over again until he finally registered the arms holding him and the calm voice speaking to him.

"Shhh, I'm right here Kili," Fili said quietly, rubbing his little brother's back.

Kili clutched his brother's shirt and buried his face into Fili's chest, his breathing ragged. "They're going to hate us," he whispered, "He's going to hate us…"

"It's alright," Fili said soothingly, running his fingers through Kili's hair as he looked back from his night watch spot to where all the other Dwarves were camped and sleeping peacefully. "It's alright…" he sighed, kissing the top of Kili's head, "Everything will be alright."

So shit got kind of intense there. Poor Kili. Hopefully you liked this crazy dream-sequence and it made some sense. Let me tell you all, writing horror shit at 12:45am during a thunderstorm whilst listening to this: watch?v=4duOIDKlbos and this: watch?v=ST2H8FWDvEA has definitely done nothing good for my sleep.
