Part. 6
Fili was awakened by someone shaking him. His head hurt. Still. He opened his misty eyes and saw Kili's horrified gaze in front of him. "Kili? What's the matter?" He asked and looked at his brother with concern. "Someone is coming." He said in a pained voice. Fili get alert right away. He raised himself to a sitting position and looked through the bars. It was true. The ugly orc approached them with spiteful gaze in its nasty, red eyes.
Also Kili was lifted himself in a sitting position, but it was painful, Fili noticed. His shoulder was in a strange position. Was it dislocated? He should look at it as soon as possible.
Orc came to the other side of the bars. "You've woken up? That's great. I'm here to tell the news that you know how to prepare." It said malice in its voice. "If you are going to touch me, or my brother you will regret it!" Exclaimed Fili with lightning eyes. "Oh no. We will not. At least not yet. At midnight you will see your great father on his knees. I certainly would not take that joy from you." It said, grinning maliciously and then turned away chuckling to himself.
The brothers glanced at each other with concern. "Our father?" Asked Kili amazed. "What does it mean?" Fili thought for a moment and then said: "It will probably think we are Thorin's children. And apparently intends to blackmail him our support." Kili was startled. "That's terrible; we have to try to get out here before then." Fili nodded. "You're right, but it may be easier said than done…"
Then Fili remembered Kili's painful shoulder. "Think you have hurt the left shoulder? Let me see it." He then said, and turned to the younger brother. Kili sighed and turned his shoulder towards his brother.
Kili felt when Fili tried his shoulder. He flinch in pain as Fili tried to push it on. "Ouch! Stop Fili, please." He begged and looked at Fili his eyes pained. "I'm sorry, I tried to be gentle. It appears to have dislocated, because the position is quite strange. Fortunately, you don't see it for yourself." Kili nodded, grimacing. "That's what it felt a little…" He mumbled and suddenly he felt tightness in Fili's grip on it. "Fili, what the heck…?" He started, but the question was left out of the air as he felt how his shoulder was pressed painfully back into place.
He tried to wriggle away but Fili's grip held. "Kili, stay where you are. It needs to get back in place." Said Fili intently and then there was a crackle and the burning pain landed into his shoulder and arm.
Kili cried in pain and tried to escape it, but Fili kept him in place, taking his brother in tight hug. Kili sobbed against his arm. "Why, why did not you warn me?" He asked, sobbing. "Because, then you would have expecting the pain, and it would feel even worse." Said Fili soothing voice and gently stroked the back of Kili.
Kili nodded. He realized, yes, but still felt like Fili has betrayed him. He circled his hands around Fili's arm and breathed deeply. The pain began to ease. Although not completely, but now it was bearable. "I'm sorry; I cannot tie it any way. Please try to support it with your other hand." Fili then said apologetically. Kili nodded and leaned against his older brother holding his left arm. Then he fell asleep.
Fili looked around their cold cell. It was dark, lit by a distant torch the place. The orcs were gone, but from a distance he heard the sounds of celebrating. So there they were, eating and drinking, party hunting trip and catching them. He sighed. To Thorin had certainly sent for some sort of tensioning message. He knew that the orcs do not leave anyone alive. They would kill them as soon as they could have had Thorin. Well, if they were to die this way, then at least they would die together.
Gloomy thoughts invaded his painful head. How they were tortured and finally killed slowly and painfully. He sighed sorrowfully. Should not ever give up hope, but in the dark it was really difficult.
He quietly was stroking his brother's hair. Fortunately, Kili got some sleep; he had looked really tired before taking care of his shoulder. Probably he had not slept glance at the time when Fili had been unconscious. Little by little also Fili getting tired and he fell asleep against the cell's wall little brother in his arms.
