Reprecussions
Bilbo held his head high as he was marched through the halls of Erebor. He was on his way to the Council. The hobbit knew that he would likely be put to death, but he would face his fate. He would not give that...that cow Bazani the pleasure of seeing him scared. Dwalin's grip on his shoulder tightened the closer they got to the Council Chambers. Bilbo felt sorry for Dwalin. The two had become close friends during the journey to Erebor and here the dwarf was, marching him to certain death. As the reached the Chambers, Dwalin pulled the Hobbit into a quick hug.
"I am truly sorry Bilbo. We all are. But, no matter how much we hate her, Bazani is our queen and we must do as she orders."
"I know Dwalin. I'm not angry at you. It's Bazani I'm angry at. I know she is the one who poisoned Thorin, not me. Something must be done about her. Dwalin, you and the others must stop her before she does something drastic."
"You mean like killing the King's one?"
The hobbit chuckled, glad Dwalin was trying to comfort.
"Yes my friend. Something like that."
Kili peered around the corner, aware of the elf pressing against his back.
"Remind me, why are we sneaking in? You are the prince. When Fili becomes king, you will be the High Consort. Can you not just walk through Erebor like any other dwarf."
"We are sneaking in because if Bazani knew that I bought in an elf to help Thoron, she would kill me. We have to do this quietly."
"We never trusted your Queen. There is a darkness around her. One that grows when she sees your little hobbit friend."
Now that Kili thought about it, Maleela was right. Whenever Bazani was around Thranduil and Legolas, they got very tense and tended to ignore the queen, not caring if they came across as rude.
"Is there something wrong with her?"
"Wrong?"
"Like evil. Is my uncle's wife evil?"
"No young one. Bazani is lonely and in love with someone who will never love her. That hurts people and damages them. Sometimes it makes themdo things they normally wouldn't."
"Like poison Thorin."
"Exactly. It seems the coast is now clear."
Taking a look, Kili saw the guard walk away from the door. His replacement must have been late. With a hissed "hurry up" to the elf, the pair ran to the door, closing it behind them just as the replacement guard walked up the hallway. Maleela approached the bed where Thorin lay. The king was getting worse. He had not woken in over a week and the bed sheets were changed daily due to the sweat the king was producing.
"What did you say the poison was?"
"Um, wolfsbane? And Oin says it was mixed with something, but he doesn't know what?"
"I see. Keep an eye on the door. Warn me if someone comes."
Kili moved closer to the door, ignoring the healer behind prince knew that he was of no use to the elven healer. It was his job to guard Maleela.
"By the Valar."
Kili ran to the bed, concern rushing through his veins.
What is is? Can you help him?"
"The other poison. It is moon flower."
"So?"
"Moon flower and wolfsbane together make on of the strongest poisons known to elves."
Kili stared at the nervous elf in front of him.
"Can you save my uncle?"
"I don't know."
A/N Done. R&R please. Next chapter, Bilbo is sentenced and someone sees Maleela
