Fili: 19
Kili: 17
Kili
I wake up to sunlight beaming through the windows. I rub my eyes and sit up. No Fili. For the past 2 and a half months he has been leaving before the sun is even up and coming back much later than midnight to see his girlfriend Runa , the hat maker's daughter. She had red hair going to her shoulders and bright green eyes. I was one to always encourage Fili to talk to her and once he did I regretted it. I haven't talked to him in almost 2 months and I barely see him anymore. I sigh. I didn't think h would forget today of all days. I roll out of bed and walk sleepily to the kitchen.
"Happy Birthday Kili!"
I see Thorin with Balin, Dwalin, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Nori, Dori, and Ori. I beam at least they did not forget.
"17 es a big year yer know that?" Dwalin says and slaps me on the back.
I still scan the crowd for Fili but I decide to take my mind off things and enjoy the wonderful breakfeast my family of friends made for me.
Thorin
I can sense right away the Kili's presence is off without his brother. He did notice.
"Not like he wouldn't" scoffed a voice in my head.
I barely see my oldest nephew but I am concerned for Kili. Kili wasn't himself without his brother.
After celebrations Kili says something that surprises everyone.
"I'm gonna go take Shamrock and ride her around."
Kili never liked being alone to begin with but on his birthday? That boy has truly changed.
I nod. "Be careful."
Kili
I gallop Shamrock through the forest. How dare he my own brother not celebrate his brother's birthday because of a girl.
I'm not looking about and suddenly I feel Shamrock slip and fall.
I grip the reins and hope for the best. I just happen to get the worst.
I land on my side and I hear cracks. I slam my head against a rock and I feel blood coming out of my nose and a nasty cut on my temple.
Shamrock seems to have her leg stuck under something and her reins are twisted in a bush. She can't go get help. I can barely breath without it hurting never mind walking to get help.
Well this is the end. A cruel one yes but at least I won't be alone. I will be with mother and father in the halls of Mandos. Fili won't care. He has Runa and has replaced me with her so he should be fine.
I let out a shaky breath that makes my chest hurt more. I feel and taste blood oozing out of my mouth. I just hope death with come for me soon and make it as quick as possible.
Shamrock neighs nervously.
"Shhh. Your gonna be alright Shamrock. I know you will." I whisper. I see the frightened look in her eyes. One from being stuck with the fall and the other was watching her beloved master slowly slip away.
"Shhhhhh."
