All I've ever known

Bofur burst through the doors with the boys, Bilbo, and Tauriel at his heels. While everyone's eyes fell on Mivera, Ori ran up and hugged Kili tight. He then hugged Fili,"I'm so glad your alright!" Tauriel didn't say a word and went to the queens side, pulling out the Kingsfoil. She looked back at Bofur,"Where is the wound?" Bofur scurried over and began to lift them hem of Mivera's shirt,"It's on her stomach." Tauriel helped him lift the shirt and carefully remove the white bandages.

Kili was on the opposite side of them with his brother, and he stood it shock at the wound. Fili pulled him away to the head of the bed. Fili handed him a cloth,"Keep her fever down, I've got to help hold her down." Kili had barely nodded before Tauriel placed the plant in the scarring flesh and Mivera convulsed in pain. She screamed and her eyes flew open whilst Tauriel began chanting. Kili dabbed her forehead gently and Mivera's eyes shot at him. Her convulsing ceased and she slowly reached a hand up and touched his face, then Fili's. She smiled softly, and laid her head back down on the pillow, extremely exhausted.

Kili looked up to Tauriel,"Is it done? Is she going to be alright?" Tauriel kept her back towards him and turned her head,"Yes. The poison in gone." He nearly jumped for joy like a little child and smiled broadly,"Thank you! Thank you so much Tauriel!" Tau riled didn't answer and began walked out of the room. Kili was dumbfounded, so he turned and threw the cloth to Bilbo before running after her. Bilbo shrugged and sat in a stool beside the bed and placed it on Mivera's forehead. Fili glanced at him,"Can you watch over her Bilbo?" The hobbit nodded and the rest of the dwarves left.

Mivera whispered hoarsely,"Thank you Bilbo." Bilbo jumped,"I thought you were asleep?" Mivera slowly opened her eyes,"No. I am in to much pain." Bilbo nodded,"I understand, having an arrow poison you sounds rough." Mivera smirked,"It is not that kind of pain my friend. It's the memories." Bilbo leaned forward and Mivera continued,"My brother was down here, most likely being the stupid hero he was." She laughed,"He would always do something for someone else. Regardless of how it effected him, I guess that why he was rude to Thorin when we first got engaged."

Her eyes became wide,"Where is Thorin? Is he alright?" Bilbo looked at the door nervously,"In a way." When he turned back Mivera was sitting up and about to get off the bed. He jolted up and held her shoulders,"Be still! You are just recovering!" She rolled her eyes and lifted up her shirt, showing the area where there was now only a pale scar, as if the wound happened ages ago. She lightly pushed him off,"If that was elven healing Bilbo, I am perfectly fine. Now take me to Thorin."

Bilbo couldn't bring himself to take her to him, so he took her to the company instead. The second the doors opened and everyone saw Mivera, they were all crowded around her. She received many back breaking hugs and spins before she caught her breath from laughing. Her face became serious and she looked around,"Where is Thorin?" Heavy footsteps behind her answered that question and she turned around. Thorin stood there, eyes dunked in from fatigue, and hollow cheeks from starvation.

Mivera ran up to him and flung her arms around him, but he stood still as a pillar in the great hall. She let go of him and looked in his eyes, he put his hands on his shoulders and pushed her off,"You have wasted enough time, come help me look for the Arkenstone." Mivera laughed,"I've only just recovered Thorin, can I at least eat something?" Thorin shook his head,"No, we must find it." Mivera rolled her eyes,"I am sure the stone isn't going anywhere, now I am starved." She went to walk past him and go into the kitchen, but his hand shot out and gripped her arm tight.

He pulled her back and looked at her with blank eyes,"You dare defy your king?" Mivera's eyebrows knit together,"You dare hold the queen in such hostility?" Thorin growled and forcefully shoved her aside, making her shoulder ram into the wall. She moaned in pain, but Thorin was unaffected and left the room. Fili was quickly at her side and helped her up,"Are you alright Aunt?" But she didn't answer. Mivera's eyes kept on the doorway.

Dwalin was infuriated,"That bit I'll deal with him myself!" Mivera tore her eyes from the door and sat down in a chair, clutching her shoulder. Balin looked at his feet,"He has been like this since Smaug perished." Suddenly Thorin's voice boomed,"WILL NO ONE SEARCH FOR HOUR KINGS JEWEL?!" Mivera shook her head and whispered loud enough for Balin to hear,"Please tell me it's not what I fear it is." Balin sighed,"I am sorry my lady. But it is." She went rigid and watched the company go to help Thorin. Once they were all gone, she looked at Bilbo. He stood awkwardly and crooked, as if something were weighing him down. She shook the thought out of her head and went into the chamber with the rest of the company.
