Warning: this may trigger something inside..it did for me. I cried as I wrote it..it hit to close to home for me...so im sorry if this is to depressing. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The late summer sun was beating down on Erebor City making the city swelter in its grasp..the air was so hot you could see it moving off the pavement and streets in waves. Each breath that was taken was like breathing in a sauna ...hot humid and thick. The only relief the inhabitants of this city had was inside their homes where the air conditioners were working overtime in combating this oppressive heat wave. In a large brick building in the center of town the whirring of the fans could be barely be heard inside..being over run by the beeping of monitors within the various rooms of the sick occupants inside this enormous structure...Erebor Hospital.

In such a room the cool white walls made the room feel cold and sterile ..further lending a depressing feel to the space. Upon the bed in the center of the room was a woman with sparse black hair that was being combed by a teenage boy who sat upon a chair next to her bed...each stoke of the brush through her hair was tender and slow so not to pull , causing more pain to the sick woman. Her eyes settled upon the young 14 year old there..he had thick summery blond hair that framed the sweetest blue eyes upon his face...that at this moment was red rimmed from trying to hold back his tears as he gazed down at the woman laying there. Her eyes that normally was as blue as the young mans next to her was hazy and greyish at this time...her black hair that used to be thick and luxurious was thin and sparse now. Her body that was always volumptious  and full figured, now was thin and wasted away into absolute nothing of her former self...her breathing as she laid there was raspy and labored sounding  to the two men in the room with her. Slowly her eyes moved to focus upon the other man, who was older, standing off to the other side of the room..where he was watching how tender the young man was being. She could feel her heart was pounding as it skipped a beat..knowing her time was drawing close to the end and she gathered her breath to speak before she died.

"Fili...Thorin." her voice was raspy and thin..almost a whisper as they gathered close to hear her...each taking a bony hand into their own.

"What is it Dis? Do you need something little sister?" Thorins blue eyes gazed down lovingly upon his younger sister that was fading by the moment because of the cancer that was eating away at her body...consuming the last bit of this strong woman. She trembling tugged upon his hand to bring him closer..as he leaned in he could feel her shaking upon the bed.

"i want...want you both to know that...I love you...both. Please..please take care of each other. I ...I..." suddenly her heart monitor beeped erratically and her breathing became fast...eyes went wide and then closed...forever as the machine let out a long piercing wail as her heart stopped. Both men began to shake as nurses rushed into the room...pushing both men away from her body as they attempted to restart her heart..it was no use, Distani Durinson was gone...succumbing to the cancer that riddled her young body. The nurses  pulled the sheet over the woman and began to leave the room..their eyes filled with sorrow as they passed by the two men who were holding onto each other...tears falling from their eyes in their grief.

"MOMMA!" the young boy wailed into the older mans shoulder who held onto him tightly as he too mourned his sister.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It had been several days since Dis was laid into the ground..her funeral was attended by many loved ones who came to pay their respects to this amazing woman. The day had been clear and there was a nice wind to ease the heat upon the land...some believed it was Dis smiling down to make this day a tiny bit more bearable to those below. A soft wind was blowing..caressing the hairs upon Thorins and Filis  nape of the neck...birds were chirping a sweet melody up in the trees as the coffin was being lowered into the arms of the cool earth...welcoming her body in its eternal rest.
