Secrets {a fanfiction of Eragon}

Chapter 14

Another Chapter... YAAAAH! since its been so long I'm gonna update again and hopefully again tomorrow or the day after. But as always enjoy this chapter.

"Are you okay?" I asked Eragon as I tended to Broms wound. "I'm fine." He murmured as he came closer. I noticed that his hands were shaking badly but I wanted to make sure that Brom was alright. " Is he gonna be OK?" Eragon questioned. I nodded my head, "he'll live." Eragon breathed out a sigh of relieve. He suddenly jerked his head as Saphira landed, her wings still half raised and hissed. Her eyes went from Eragon to me to Brom than back to Eragon. She was seething. I could tell Dakaë was trying to talk to her but her anger must be creating a wall. She didn't calm down until Eragon pointed to an alley and said that he killed the Urgals. Saphira was surprised. I just stayed silent and smiled before frowning. "Saphira?" I asked as her head swung to look at me, "Brom can't ride Snowfire in his condition, could he maybe ride in your saddle it will keep him from falling off." I suggested. "That's a great idea!" Eragon agreed. Saphira entered my head but I made sure she couldn't see Eragons' and hers future. It was difficult since I was so new at this, but I managed. I also agree, Saphira said, her voice was different from Dakaës it was higher pitch and a little snappy but I liked it.

Eragon and I couldn't get Brom onto Saphiras' back so she helped us by picking him up with her teeth twisting her head and gently placing Brom on her back. Eragon and I went straight to work strapping Brom in and that's when he stirred. Brom put his hand to his head looking at Eragon and I. "Did the dragons get here on time?" He asked. Eragon shook his head " I'll explain later. Desiree bandaged your arm, but you need rest." Eragon stated. "yes," Brom said, carefully touching his injured arm. "Do you know where my sword. . . Ah, I see you found it." Eragon nodded finishing the straps on his side." Saphira's going to take you and follow me by air." Eragon finalized walking over to stand by my side. " I can ride Snowfire." Brom said and I decided to step in. "not with that arm," I pointed out then added, "besides if you faint you wont fall." All Brom could say was," I'm honored." Before he wrapped his good arm around Saphiras' neck and she took off. You should go too, I told Dakaë. As I headed toward all the horses. If Saphira will watch you, I will fly Higher and look ahead, was Dakaës response before he took off. I first got my sword which was difficult, it being embedded in an Urgals arm. I had to use my foot and lean back to get it out, but once I did I cleaned It and then went to the horses.

Eragon took Snowfire, tied him to his saddle and headed down a trail leading southward with me in tow. The trail started of rocky before it turned and continued on the bank of the Ninor. Eragon was really uneasy I could tell. He kept glancing around as if he expected to be attacked again. I said nothing. Suddenly Eragon veered off the path saying a single word. "come." I followed him to a secluded area by the river surrounded by trees. A small fire was already started and Brom was sitting next to it. Both Saphira and Dakaë were crouched in the clearing taking up a lot of space. The first thing we did was get Brom a new bandage, first boiling water cleaning a rag with it than cleaning Broms wound. We worked together Eragon cleaning the wound while I re-wrapped it. Once that was done we quickly made and ate dinner.

It was quiet for a little bit, but Brom was really curious to know what happened. I told my story first but had to take a detour because Eragon wanted to know what 'momentum' is. Eragon then told his story, the second he finished he started to fire questions at Brom. That led to a heated argument between the two about magic. I watched with interest as Brom tried to explain magic to Eragon. To sum it up Brom was explaining how if you used a spell more powerful than you are it will kill you which Eragon could've done. Brom was the one to stop the Q&A telling everyone they should sleep. Exhausted I was the first ready for bed. I snuggled up the best I could before going to bed. My last thought before going to sleep was wishing to see my family again. Then I drifted off.

Beep Beep Beep. . . Odd. I thought, what was that sound? I shifted slightly noticing I wasn't on hard ground. "Doctor! Doctor! Quickly she moved!" A voice said, it sounded familiar? I cracked open my eyes a little and a white light greeted me. I groaned propping my self up on my elbows, my eyes fluttering closed. " Eragon, Brom where are we? I thought we camped next to the Ninor river." I croaked. Wow I really needed water. "Miss calm down will you lay down please?" Somebody asked. "Dakaë what happened? where are you?" I asked, when I got no answer I started to panic. Somebody was trying to force me down, but I was stronger now. I thrashed wildly the person let go off me but I fell off what ever I was laying on. I finally opened my eyes as a few thing detached from my body. I jumped up my hand reaching for my sword, which wasn't at my waist. My eyes focused on the person across me. " Where is my sword?!" I demanded my voice foreign even to me. The man stood there with his mouth open and scared. " Desiree are you OK?" a shaky voice asked me. I turned on my heels only to see my mother in front of me. "Mom? Is that really you?" I asked my voice now also shaky. If this is magic than I'm definitely not prepared for it. She put her hand over her mouth tears streaming from her eyes." Desiree?" Her voice questioned. I slowly got out of my fighting stance as my face got wet. Tears. I thought, I was crying. I slowly reached a hand out to my mother when the oddest thing happened I felt like someone was shaking me. Nobody was. My mother must of noticed my expression. " Are you alright?" she asked her eyes widening as my whole body started to shake really badly. Then it hit me, I cried out in pain as I started to fall. Then suddenly I was detached from my body I could hear my mom and the doctor, but they seemed so far away. I was being dragged somewhere. I couldn't do anything as the doctors and my mom started to fade and I was heading somewhere else. I cried out into the darkness but I couldn't go back.
