Chapter 4
Rivendell
Its been a day and I sat with Fili's head in my lap. He was shivering and I had tears in my eyes. I heard Elli whimpering as Kili held her as she tried to sleep. Dwalin came over and I looked up at him.
"He's getting worse." I said.
"Let me see the wound." Dwalin said. I let him and he growled. "He was poisoned." I burst into tears and held him close.
"Bell. We need to get him to Rivendell." Bilbo said.
"But Rivendell is five days travel. He won't make it." Kili said. I heard horse neighs and look. Two horses were approaching us and fast. The dwarves jump up with weapons ready.
"We come to help." A familiar voice said as the horses come to a stop. I smile.
"Elladen. Elrohir." I call. The twins turn and saw me with Fili. They get off their horses and run over to us.
"We made it just in time." Elladen said.
"We have to get him to father. I'll take him if you want to stay with them." Elrohir said. Elladen nodded and Elrohir picked up Fili.
"Where are you taking him?" Nori asked.
"To Rivendell. I'm one of the fastest riders and I can get there by morning so Elrond can save him." Elrohir said.
"Do what you must to save my brother. Please." Kili said. Elli's eyes opened.
"Daddy!" Elli said. Elladen grabbed her before she could run after his brother.
"Elli. Your father will be fine. He needs to see Uncle Elrond." Elladen said. Elli buried her face in his chest and cried. I watched as Elrohir got on his horse and quickly took off. Dwalin put a hand on my shoulder.
"He'll be fine, lass. He's a strong dwarf." Dwalin said. I nod as Elli came up to me and I pulled her into a hug.
"We'll see daddy again. I promise." I said. Elli nodded, but I knew she was not going to be alright till she saw Fili with his eyes open. I laid her in our bedroll and held her close as she cried herself to sleep. I close my eyes and hoped I was right.
Five days later. We arrived in Rivendell. We were all quiet. Elli was asleep in my arms since it was night time. I had bags under my eyes.
"Bell!" A voice called. I smiled seeing Arwen running towards me.
"Arwen." I said. She hugged me.
"He's alive and will be fine. Elrohir brought him just in time. Elrond was able to save him." Arwen said before I had a chance to ask.
"Can I see him?" I ask.
"Arwen. Take Elli to her room to sleep and I'll take Bell and the others to see him." Elladen said. Arwen took Elli in her arms and disappeared. We were led to the infirmary. Fili laid in the bed. His chest was bandaged and his eyes were closed. I come up to him and brush his hair out of his face. He was breathing and alright, that's all that matters.
"He's been unconscious since he got here. He'll wake up soon. Its good to see you again." Elrond said.
"Thank you." I said.
"Let's leave the lass alone with him." Bofur said. The dwarves and Bilbo nodded and they left. I lay down beside him making sure not to hit his injury. I was happy he was alright. I fell asleep peacefully beside him.
I woke up to hands running through my hair. I opened them and find Fili smiling at me.
"Bell." Fili said. I hug him, being careful.
"Your alright. You had us all worried. Elli wouldn't stop crying and I hardly slept." I said. Fili brushed the tears that escaped my eyes.
"I'm alright, love. I'm not leaving you anytime." Fili said. We shared a kiss. The door opened and I looked to see Elli standing there with Kili, who was grinning.
"Daddy!" Elli said, running over and jumping on the bed.
"Careful with his chest." I said. Elli nodded and crawled over and curled up on Fili's other side, hugging him. Fili pressed a kiss to her head and held us both close.
"Glad your awake." Kili said.
"Same here." Fili said.
"I'll let the others know that your awake." Kili said, leaving after hugging his brother. Kili left to leave us alone.
"You alright, daddy?" Elli asked.
"I'm fine, sweetheart." Fili promised. Elli curled up in Fili's arms and fell asleep. Fili pressed a forehead against mine. "Relax love and get sleep. We are probably going to be here for awhile." I drift off to sleep.
AN: There's the new chapter. I won't kill Fili. I hated his death in Battle of the Five Armies and don't want to end his and Bell's relationship. Till next time
