Enjoy, and keep the reviews coming!
Thank you all :')


Fili stood up when his uncle came back. He winced at the pain from his ankle, but at least he was able to walk on it now. "Uncle... You didn't find him?"

Thorin shook his head, sitting on a rock and covering his eyes with the palm of his hand. "His tracks just disappeared... I still can't understand it! I mean, his tracks were so clear, every footstep etched into the ground, and then-for Durin's sake I cannot comprehend it!" He yelled in despair. "We looked everywhere."

After a minute or two of silence, Fili spoke up again. "Uncle?"

"Hm?" Thorin looked up at him, his eyes filled with fear, worry and sadness. And guilt, fili noted. "Yes, Fili?"

"Do you think he's dead?"

Thorin shook his head sadly. "I dont know, Fili. In those cases, I cannot even decide whether it would be best for him."

Fili was startled at his Uncle's words. His lips trembled slightly and he turned away again. Dead? He felt a pang in his heart. But Kili was his brother, he could not possibly live without him. His eyes watered. Kili was too young! Too young to witness any of it, experience any of it or die! Fili kicked at the ground angrily, hurting his already injured ankle but not paying attention to the pain. He could not lose Kili.

"We need to find him." He said determinedly. Thorin sighed, rubbing his temples. "Uncle, I am serious. We cant leave him there like that! Isn't it enough that the goblins tortured him? It's not fair!"

When Thorin didn't answer. Fili stood up angrily and made his way over to his uncle. "Listen to me! My brother's soul is more important that Erebor's gold to me! You can go reclaim Erebor, but I will go to find Kili!"

Fili noticed Thorin's shoulders shaking lightly and he raised an eyebrow in question. "Uncle?" He called out, still angry. Then he heard a sob.

Thorin, the majetsic, the brave, the unbeatable, was crying.

Fili groaned and sat down beside him, hugging him and burying his face into Thorin's thick hair and fur coat. Thorin wrapped his arms around Fili, holding him tight. They sat like that for a while before Thorin spoke again. "Dís would never have forgiven me had she lived." He whispered. "Yet I should have known. I should have done everything-even break his leg-to stop him from coming."

"Uncle..."

"Before Kili was born, Dís had a dream." Thorin untangled himself from Fili and sat back, straightening his shoulders and gently wiping at his eyes. "She told me Kili wouldn't look like you. In her dream, you were a replica of me, but with lighter hair and thinner eyebrows. Kili had my hair, but his face was a copy of his father. He ha the same features, but he was so childish and lighthearted."

Fili looked at his uncle in wonder, realizing for the first time that he did truly look more like Thorin by features, but his hair and eyebrows were so different that people did not bother contrasting their features.

"I was happy when she told me that. But then," Thorin took a breath, "then she said all light vanished from his eyes, and he did not even have a mustache. She told me, Fili. She told me that in her dream, we were all on a quest, and I failed to protect her son. In her dream, I came back without him, telling her of the unfortunate news. But he was not dead, he was merely gone." He bit his lip. "She knew what was going to happen, and I only remembered her dream now."

"Mother would have loved Kili." Fili commented sadly.

"Aye," Thorin nodded in agreement.

"You know, that's not what you told Kili." Fili added slowly, and Thorin looked at him, took a deep breath. "You told Kili that Mama was lucky she died before seeing him grow, because she would not have been able to cope with a child like him." He explained softly. "And that even Father would not have been able to tame him and raise him well."

Thorin closed his eyes, still biting his lip, and rested his head in his hands. "I cannot believe I said things like that." He whispered. "What else did I say? That he should jump off a cliff and kill himself so we all become happy?" He asked angrily.

"Well, you did say he didn't deserve to live, and that he ruined my life..." Fili answered slowly, feeling sympathetic for his uncle.

"Ruined your life how?"

"He ruined my life by taking away Mama and making me an orphan, apparently. Then I had to lose my childhood to raise him, but he still could not become like me. Even you could not raise him." Fili shook his head. "Uncle your words were harsh. Had you said them to me I would not have stayed with the company at all."

"Sorry for interrupting but-" They both turned to Bilbo, "But Kili was planning on leaving." He admitted with an exhale. "He sobbed himself to sleep and wanted to come to the shire with me and wanted to leave."

Thorin raised an eyebrow, and Fili merely looked perplexed. Bilbo sighed. "Kili did not want to even go back to Ered Luin." He explained. "He took your words so seriously that he honestly considered leaving you forever."

"How could he!" Exclaimed Fili angrily. "If Uncle hurt him, he was willing to leave me as well? I cannot live without him, Bilbo! Look at me, I want to die right now knowing that he might be suffering at the moment or getting killed for all I know!"

"Fili, calm down," Throin said. He turned to Bilbo. "What else did he say?"

"Not much; he said that he was trying to be brave, because when the wargs attacked he was frightened but he tried not to show it. He... He just wants you and Fili to be proud of him, that's all. His biggest concerns were that he would never make you proud or become like Fili, and ..."

Thorin cursed, while Fili listened carefully. "And?"

"And he really seemed to take the whole killing his parents thing to heart."


Azog sat on his chair, looking at the now dressed Kili carefully. "So, Kili. Did you really think Thorin was strong enough to beat Smaug?" He asked mockingly. Kili glared at him, and Azog laughed. "Oh, you're such a child. Thorin really manipulated your mind, did he not?"

Kili raised his chin proudly and in defiance. "Thorin is stronger than you ever wish to be. He will regain Erebor, and you will be killed with no mercy."

"Oh, is that so?" Azog stood up. "You know, I'm getting bored, and your wounds are beginning to heal. I don't like that." He commented. Kili tensed. "I like it when I see broken limbs on elves, humans or dwarves. You know, you have pretty hands-aside from the burn of course." He held one of Kili's hands in his own-the burnt one. "A broken finger or two wouldn't hurt, would it?"

Kili cursed at him in dwarfish, and Azog narrowed his eyes. "I have a better idea." He stood up and disappeared inside, then came back out with a blade coated in green. Kili began to struggle frantically. "Relax, kid. I will not cut them off. Yet." He said. "I just wanted to..." without warning, sliced into Kili's burnt palm, earning a loud cry of pain. The green slime entered the cut, increasing the burn and causing Kili's eyes to water from the tears and his screams only to increase.

"You have not seen anything, dwarf. I am being merciful to you."


A/N
Sooo yeah a shorter one but I tried! I do have exams after all xD I noticed that Fili has Thorin's nose in the movie, as well as the eye shape if you look closely. Meanwhile a kili has a pointy nose and wide eyes. So Kili has darker hair and is generally looked to as resembling Thorin, but Fili looks more like him!
Also Thorin finally found out alllll that he said! :/ oh no!
And yes Bilbo is alive xD
Please review guys! :') they make me so happy!
