Part. 13 (Fear and joy)
Balin looked terrified when the young dwarf cried out in pain and shaking under their hands. Balin threw a cloak on top of Kili and others did the same. "He needs to keep warm! He's in shock." He heard Oin's shout. "Balin! Bring Fili away. He does not need to see this." There was Thorin's demanding command and Balin nodded, turning to elder brother.
Fili was able to get sat up and holding in panic his little brother's hand. "Kili! Kili! Do not give up. Do not you dare give up! I need you…" He cried voice breaking and Balin tried to pull him aside, but Fili swiped his hand away. "Leave me alone! Kili needs me!" He cried voice breaking. "Bofur! Help Balin! Take Fili further!" Exclaimed Thorin once again and Bofur nodded quickly letting go of Kili's right arm.
Bofur rushed to Fili and together with Balin they got Fili pulled further. He first tried to wriggle out of older dwarves grasp, but suddenly he crumpled to the ground starting to sob.
Bofur took Fili into tight embrace, pressing his head against the hair of a young dwarf. "Come on. No need to worry. Oin take care of him." He whispered in his ear, stroking reassuringly Fili's shoulder. However, Bofur was not sure whether he was trying to calm with his words, Fili or himself. He truly hoped and prayed that Kili would be okay soon.

Kili felt once again gone astray into the darkness. He did not feel the pain right now, but was waiting for it to hit at any time. For somewhere of his overhead was noisy when everyone was shouting to each other and tried to come up with a solution.
He left the fuss about its own value and drifted for a while in the dark. It felt cool and comfortable, if he could leave here forever? No pain, no fear… Maybe he even would get to see again his mother and father?
He was ready to surrender to the darkness, when suddenly he heard the sobs from somewhere far away. Fili. His brother. He had to go back to live with his brother. By any means necessary; But the pain scared him. His mind did not feel no longer sustainable it. What would he do?
It seemed to have been decided for him. Suddenly, a strong smell of herbs pulled him back towards the real world. Shadows were behind him and he was once again brazenly pulled back to reality. He waited a burning pain, but it did not come. The pain felt like, but now it was not such a burning and sharp. He could not believe it.
Kili sighed in relief and looked up towards the morning sun. "Fili. Where is Fili?" He then asked with quiet voice and turned to look at his uncle's worried eyes.

Thorin sighed in relief. Whatever Oin had done, it seemed to work. "Fili is coming. Try to rest now." He said softly to his nephew and then turned to look at Bofur, Balin and Fili at the same time nodding and smiling at them.
Balin answered Thorin's gaze and touched Bofur's shoulder. "Come on, we can go back." He then said and smiled to his old friend. Bofur wiped his eyes with a smile and then gently lifted Fili's gaze towards his own brown eyes. "Come, laddie. We can go back."
Fili looked at old toymaker with cried eyes and nodded to him. Suddenly, everything was shut down. A breath wasn't heard. Fili walked like a drugged towards his younger brother Bofur and Balin behind him. He looked at Kili's eyes and found them to be open. They were a bit anguished, but calmer and more familiar than before. "Kili!" He exclaimed in disbelief, and rushed to his brother, closing him into tight embrace. "Kili. Do not ever scare me like that." He whispered to his brother, while tears once again watered his cheeks. But this time, they were tears of joy.
Kili felt his brother's arms around him and responded to the hug. Fili was once again saved his life. "I promise…" He whispered and buried his face into Fili's warm tunic.
