Hard News

When Kili first opened his eyes, he had no idea where he was or how he got there. The last thing he remembered was feeling a sharp pain in his side. When his eyes adjusted he realized he was in a wooden room that appeared to be built around a part of a tree. The room was decorated with an assortment of plants, and the furniture was beautifully carved. He was in mirkwood. He tried to sit up, but a gental hand pushed him back down. "Lie still" she told him. "You told me that once before". he said. Tauriel could see he was smiling, and she returned it. She left the room for a moment and returned with a cup of water. She handed it to him and he drained it instantly. "What happend" Kili asked her. "There was a battle. I found you when it was over, you were nearly dead". Kili looked down to where the sword had injured him and saw that it had been bandaged. It still hurt, but he knew it had been worse before. "You saved me" he said. "Only for the fourth time" she half smiled. Suddenly a look of worry crossed Kili's face. "Where is my brother?". Tauriel moved to sit on the end of the bed. "I'm so sorry. Your brother didn't make it". His eyes filled with tears. "He died defending your uncle" she told him. "Where is Thorin?". Tauriel just shook her head sadly. Kili was overcome by greif. He felt like he had failed them. Tauriel stood up to leave, but Kili reached for her hand and she stayed with him. Neither of them moved to pull there hands apart. "What happend to their bodies?" he asked. "They were taken to be burried, under the mountain". Kili looked to the side and noticed the window. There were even more stars out now. Tauriel noticed him look. "I never answered your question in lake town" she said. Kili turned back to look at her. "Well i'm answering it now" she told him. "Yes".
