A/N: Sorry I couldn't update, I had a really bad cold (still do) and I got pinkeye. My mum is a bit better but she's still in pain.

Hope this chapter is worth the wait :) It was hard for me to write this because I don't want to be mean to Kili, but let's be realistic here. Thorin and Fili can't just get over it that quick, and neither can the whole Company.

Leave me some reviews please?

Thorin awoke to the sound of screaming.

He rubbed his eyes as he stumbled out of bed, slipping from the bedsheets and landing on the ground with a thud. He pulled himself up quickly and hurried to Fili's side, who was screaming relentlessly with his eyes wide open. Thorin ran a hand through his hair in attempt to calm him down a bit. "Fili? Fili, what is it? Do you hurt really bad?"

Fili's eyes focused on his uncle and his screams subsided. "Uncle?"

Thorin nodded. "Yes, I'm here. Is everything alright? Where do you hurt?" He asked urgently. He still heard the sound of screaming, however, and was beginning to worry. It wasn't Fili who was screaming anymore.

"N-nightmare…" Fili whispered. "That Kili came and tried to kill you and…" He winced as he stirred, and his hands immediately went to his side. His eyes reddened. "It… and he killed you…"

"It's just a nightmare." Thorin soothed. Kili was screaming. He knew it was Kili who was screaming. However, despite himself, he could not make himself go check on him. A part of him still could not forget what happened-too many burdens stood between himself and Kili now. "It's alright, Fili. Oin said you will be well in no time." He promised.

Fili nodded, sighing. Then he looked to his uncle in alarm. "Do you hear that?" He asked slowly. "It sounds like Kili…"

Thorin shook his head. "I—I believe you're just imagining it. Don't worry." He lied, looking worried himself. "Kili is doing well. It seems Azog has healed all his wounds. Yet I fear for his mental state." He admitted. Upon seeing Fili's worried eyes, he added, "don't worry, though. It will pass. He will get over it."

"I'm not sure he will." Fili muttered. "I am afraid to see him again. I don't know if I can ever talk to him like before."

Thorin looked down at his hands, alarmed but saddened. "Unfortunately, I feel the same way. Yet it is not his fault." He said. "He chose none of it. He needs us, but…"

"But that is him screaming right now." Fili finished. "I know it is him, and I know you can hear him scream, and I know I'm not imagining it. You don't want to go check on him."

Thorin let out a distressed groan. "I… I will go see what the matter is. I wanted to make sure you were alright first." He told Fili. "I will be right back. I am sure he has woken up everyone in the camp and perhaps even attracted some enemies."

Fili chuckled as his uncle stood up. "Uncle?"

"Hmm?"

"Thank you." Fili said. "For everything. You're great."

Thorin grinned weakly. "I hope you're right, Fili. I hope you're right. I'm not sure Kili thinks the same way."

Thorin stepped out of the tent and was shocked by the sight he saw. Kili was screaming and sobbing; he was held back by an angry Dwalin and Nori. Bombur was cooking at the fire, and it seemed as though Kili was screaming at Bombur for some awful reason. Thorin stomped forward. "What is going on here?" He asked.

"Uncle!" Kili screamed. "He wants to burn me! Uncle!"

Thorin furrowed his eyebrows. "He is cooking, Kili."

"No! He is not! He wants to use the fire to burn my arm! He wants to burn me! He is even using a metal stick! Uncle, please stop him! Please! Don't let them do this to me again!" He sobbed.

Thorin stood, unsure of what to do. He looked at Kili, then to Dwalin, who looked as though he was ready to smack Kili in the face at any moment. "Dwalin," he whispered, "be patient. He has had some very bad encounters with fire." He turned to Kili again. "Kili, snap out of it. He's Bombur, and he's cooking."

"It's not Bombur! It's the Goblin King!" Kili exclaimed. "Why can't anyone believe me?" He yelled desperately. He sighed and calmed down eventually, giving in to Dwalin and Nori's grip. Dwalin let go of him hesitantly, and Nori followed suit. As soon as he was free, Kili ran to Thorin. He rested his head against Thorin's broad chest and sobbed.

"Don't let him hurt me." He whimpered. "Please."

Thorin closed his eyes, feeling tears start to build up in them. He couldn't bring himself to hug Kili, but he patted his arm gently. "Fili is awake." He said in a low voice. "Don't you want to go check on him?"

"But the goblin King is here-"

Grunting, Thorin began to walk away. He expected Kili to follow him. "Just come. Let us check on Fili again. There is no goblin king anywhere around, Kili. You are safe. All Bombur is trying to do is provide you some food."

However, Kili had stood in his spot, not moving. He looked at his uncle with wide eyes. "You're going to do the same thing." He whispered in disbelief. "Walk away. Of course. I almost killed you, why would you ever forgive me?" He looked down at the ground. "I almost killed Fili."

"Your boy's going insane." Thorin turned around to find it was Dori. "I don't think he will make it out of this with a safe brain. You know what they say; when you expose a child to violence, they have a much harder time getting over it than an adult would. Most never get over it."

Thorin gritted his teeth. "Is that supposed to help?"

"Look, all I'm saying is that we don't want to wake up one day to find one of us dead because of him. He was about to kill Bombur just now had Dwalin not held him back in time. He doesn't see us as ourselves, Thorin. One day he might see you as the evil selfish man Azog told him you were and we will wake up without a leader for all I know!" Dori exclaimed angrily. "He is dangerous for this company."

"I hate to say this, but it is true." Joined Gloin. "Look at what happened to Fili. You almost got killed yourself… I don't know, Thorin. I hope that he doesn't mistake me one day for Azog and puts his sword through my heart."

"You all talk as though he is mad!" Thorin yelled. "He is not! He is merely going through a bad phase! He went through much torture and the bravest of us would not get out of it well!"

"Try to convince yourself that first, Thorin." Dori spat. "You don't even trust the boy yourself. We know you don't. You did not even allow him to sleep in the same tent as you and Fili."

Thorin looked at Dori angrily. Who did he think he was, interfering in the business of his king and the princes? "Fili is sick, I did not want Kili to wake him up."

Gloin snorted. "Listen, Thorin. We are loyal to you, and we trust you with all our hearts. Yet when we see that you cannot trust someone, we have a hard time trusting them ourselves. Kili is a child. He will not easily snap out of this madness any time soon. He is still in the woods, exposed to possible danger. If he was back at home safely, he might believe you. But like this… hard chance."

"I'm not mad." Kili interrupted, shaking his head. "But the Goblin King wants to burn my arm again! Look at him!"

Dori laughed at the irony.

Thorin grabbed Kili's arm angrily and dragged him with him to the tent. He stood outside the entrance. "Kili, you are embarrassing us. We are the Durins, and you are not a child!" He hissed. Kili looked up at him innocently, and Thorin cursed. "In Aule's name, I don't know what I should do. I don't know what to with you."

"You promised me you would punish me." Kili suggested, trying to help. Thorin wanted to yank the hair out of his own head.

"Let us see Fili." He opened the entrance, and led Kili inside. Fili smiled sadly at the sight of his brother, who had still not washed and had big black circles under his eyes. His hair was even messier than before, now that it was unevenly cut.

Kili clutched his uncle's sleeve. "Fili doesn't want me in here." He whispered to him. Thorin looked at him, raising an eye. "He looks at me like he wants me away, gone forever. I almost killed him. I injured him." He started backing away. "He wants revenge."

Thorin rubbed his temples warily. He looked at Fili, who had an eyebrow raised and a shocked expression on his face. "You may leave for now, Kili." He said, and Kili left slowly.

"Get better, Fili." Kili called out just before closing the entrance after him. Fili smiled in disbelief and looked at his uncle, who was now seated beside him on the bed. Thorin had his eyes closed and he was absently scratching at his eyebrows.

"I wish I knew how to act in such a case." Thorin told Fili. "Kili is losing it. He is acting like a twenty-year-old child again. Can you believe it? He was about to kill Bombur because he thought he was the goblin king!"

Fili laughed, and Thorin looked at him, eyebrow raised. "What's so funny?"

"No offense to Bombur, but I can kind of see why…"

Thorin chuckled. "No, it is because Bombur was using the metal stick to cook the food." He explained. "Kili thought he wanted to burn him."

Fili bit his lip. "Once I get better, I will make sure I talk to him all the time. I heard some men bickering outside as well. Gloin, I think?"

"Aye. The dwarves mistrust Kili now." Thorin explained. "We need to find a solution of some way. I don't know how we can heal Kili's mind."

"It will take time, but I'm sure we can do it. I will talk to him a lot, but he needs you by his side. You just said he acts like a twenty-year-old, and when he was twenty, he was constantly in your lap and your arms. You saw how he tugged at your sleeve just now." Fili sighed. "Some times I long to do that, too, you know. I miss when we were dwarflings and you used to cradle us. But I know that it is very serious now, and we have grown up."

Thorin brushed away a strand of hair from Fili's sweaty face. "To me you are still dwarflings. As for Kili, I don't know if I can babysit him again, especially on a quest. I am afraid I'll lash out at him again."

Fili nodded, his eyes closing. Thorin smiled. "You should sleep. We will worry more tomorrow. Are you in any pain?"

"Not much." Fili replied, voice sleepy already. "I have been better, though."

*Dodges your swords* I know you all want to kill me for making Kili go insane, but it was kind of fun to write. Now, I will admit this:

I have no idea what to do next xD

So pleaaaase leave me feedback with ANY ideas you have as to what I should do next in regards of action, what Thorin does to Kili, what happens in general, etc.

Please?
