Fili tugged off the over-sized tunic that the master of Laketown had reluctantly given him, casting it aside as though it had offended him. It disgusted him to wear what such a despicable man, that would only help when they offered him money, gave him. It was too hot anyway.

Thorin run up next to him, key in hand. "This is it this is it this is it." he was muttering under his breath. Fili was buzzing too, this was his homeland, the thing they had been working up to.

Thorin inserted the key, holding his breath, Fili held his too, waiting for the door to open. There was a clunk, then a cracking of moss as the stone entrance revealed itself. The whole company breathed out a breath of relief, although everyone had shown absolute confidence that it would work but all had their doubts. Thorin turned to face Fili, smiling with true warmth for the first time since the Mirkwood cells,

"For Kili," he whispered, before turning to push the heavy door open.

Banishment for life. The words echoed through Sveniline's mind even though he tried to block it out. All because of that stupid runt that couldn't keep its mouth shut, Sveniline knew he had had fair warning last time he had lost control on a prisoner but at least he hadn't killed this one. However, this didn't stop Sveniline plotting revenge on the dwarf vermin and his sorry excuse of a royal family, because of that line of idiots, he had no home, no supplies but the shirt on his back and his knives. Where was he going to go? Where could he go now that Thranduil had branded him as a outcast? For life Sveniline thought miserably, trudging through the sloshy mud that stuck to his boots and threatened to trip his up every other step. That ginger elf will pay too, she had given the runt the idea, Sveniline recognised that now. She will come home one day and he would be waiting with a smile and a soon to be bloodied knife.

A branch caught on the male elf's boot, sending him plummeting in to the mud, face first. They will think they are safe, he thought as he wiped the sticky earth from his face and hair, but they will never be safe from me. I will be coming and they will regret they ever triffled with me. They will pay.

Kili slouched in his cell. It must have been at least three days since he had woken up in the healing halls, but having no sight of natural light, he couldn't be sure. About four hours ago, Tauriel had informed him about Sveniline's banishment. It should have made him feel better, but the thought of that blood-thirsty elf out there filled with angry didn't really help him sleep at night. Kili had healed mostly though he still had pain in his ribs and a scar running down his arm from a vicious kick with a steel toed boot. The guards had relieved him of his chains, its not like he could go anywhere every fast with a slight limp in his whole left side.

About a dozen light footsteps alerted him to a group of guards approaching his door, Kili stood and came to the bars, leaning his arms through the lower horizontal bar. The elves stopped at the end of the corridor, directly in front of the door. Kili was startled to see the elven king standing between their ranks, he hadn't seen Thranduil since the disastrous dinner.

"Can I help you?" Kili said, sarcastically.

The king smiled smugly which made Kili heart sink, "We are moving out to Erebor, you will be accompanying us."

Kili frowned, "What? Why?"

"Your company seemed to have managed to reclaim their mountain, with the help of the local village of men. We are going to congratulate them and reclaim what is ours. You will be our bargaining chip." Thranduil nodded to the guards, who unlocked the cell door.

"W-wait, wait, what?" Kili stammered as the guards grasped his upper arms, pulling him to the door, "We're going to Erebor?"

Thranduil rolled his eyes, "Yes, now stop talking or I will be forced to gag you."

Kili didn't even struggle as he was bundled down the corridor, he was thinking. He was going to see Fili again, he was going to see his brother. The Heir Pair will be together again.

Sorry I haven't posted in soooo long! I've over loaded with school work and a major writing block! Thanks to all those who have stuck with me, it means a lot! The brothers will be together soon!
