The moment Kili was shot in DOS my heart broke but gave me this great fanfic idea so here it is. I've been working on it all weekend. Please review and follow!

Kili watched as his uncle threw himself against the bars that kept the company from reaching the freedom of the tides of the river. His brother Fili was up in the front with his uncle trying to help open the gates that held them all prisoners. Kili in the mean time was stuck in the back, outside of the protective wall that kept most of the company safe from the orcs that were attacking and killing all the elves. Only he, Bilbo and Bofur were totally exposed to the orcs that were attacking and trying to kill them. An arrow hits the side of Kili's barrel and he jumps startled by the sudden thud. Kili can see the lever that will open the gates giving the company freedom, saving his uncle and brother guarded by the now dead elf that had closed the gate. It is so close but yet so far when you have no weapons and orcs are attacking and being a dwarf didn't exactly help either. What would Thorin and Fili do if they were back here?

"What are we going to do? What are we going to do?" Kili hears Bilbo fretting to himself as an arrow hits the hobbit's barrel and he lets out a startled cry. Kili looked back up towards his brother and sees Fili turn towards him and give him a reassuring smile. Kili knew Fili was scared and uncertain about was going to happen but was hiding all that with a smile to not scare Kili. He knew that Thorin and Fili had no way to free the company. They were powerless now but he wasn't. Kili thought hard as he looked up at the lever that could set everyone free. That is when Kili makes the decision that well effect everyone's lives.

"Bilbo! Watch my barrel for me!" Kili tells the hobbit before he takes action. The hobbit nods looking slightly confused and curious at what the dwarf was planning. Kili was thankful he didn't alert his uncle or brother though for his plan would be rejected and he would help no one. "For Erebor and for my kin." Kili whispers to himself under his breath. With all his strength Kili throws himself from the barrel onto the stone wall and runs up the stairs that lead to the lever. He punches an orc that tries to attack him and he falls into the water nearly hitting Bofur making the toymaker hold onto his hat and call out in surprise. Another orc goes after him and he ducks as a punch is thrown intended for his head and Kili punches the orcs stomach before reaching up and snapping its neck. Kili sprints forward about to reach the lever when a sharp horrible pain hits his thigh and he collapses with a cry of pain and agony. Kili had never felt pain like this before, not even when he feel from a tree or when he burnt his hand cooking dinner. This pain was different. He looks down at his thigh and sees an orc arrow sticking out of it with it bleeding quickly already. Think about Fili and Thorin, he tells himself trying to not panic about the arrow in his leg. They are great warriors and would not let one arrow beat them and neither will he for he is of Durin's folk. Groaning in pain as Kili pulls himself to his feet; he grabs the lever and pulls it down with all his strength that he has left in his body.. There is a loud creak as the gate opens and he can hear the yells of the company as the current drags them down river to safety. He can barely make out the golden hair of his brother and the dark hair of his uncle going down the river through the white foam to safety. Only Bilbo notices the dwarf is not back in his barrel when he passes through the gates but when he opens his mouth to call out the youngest dwarf's name he gets a mouthful of water. Kili limps quickly to the side of the wall about to jump into the water to pursue the company and his barrel when a similar pain strikes him but this time in his chest. Kili takes a shaky breath and look down at chest where now an orc arrow stuck out of. Kili blinks as he sees bright red blood, his blood trickle down his chest and he can taste the blood in his mouth. That's when he falls hitting the cold stone ground hard with a thud. The breath is knocked out of him and he struggles to get air into his lungs while the battle of elves and orcs goes on around him. Kili can barely make out Legolas and Taurial fighting the orcs for his vision was starting to blur. Kili tries to get more air, his vision starting to darken. You're a warrior like Thorin and Fili they don't get hurt. They would be ashamed to see him give up so easily, he tells himself but the darkness that is looming in his mind is too strong and soon Kili is struggling to stay awake. Remember your promise to your mother. You said you would return to her, Kili mentally scolds himself but then he remember that they made that promise to his mother when he was a young boy and she was alive. Maybe I will return to her. No! I promised Fili I would not become a burden, get hurt or die on this quest and he never breaks a promise to Fili. The darkness gets closer and closer to Kili as he mentally argues with himself. Finally the darkness over takes Kili Heir of Durin.
