Secrets {a fanfiction of Eragon}

Chapter 4

Tap tap tap. I heard, I grumbled and rolled over. "Just a few more minutes."I begged. The only thing that answered me was tap tap tap. I opened my eyes and blinked them a couple times. Tap tap tap. I uncurled my body to reveal a memorizing gold egg. I smiled and sat up. Tap tap tap.  I looked at the egg is it hatching? I asked myself. I set the egg down in front of me. The taping got louder and faster. I held my breath as a crack appeared then the egg shattered revealing a gold dragon the size of a cat. It looked at me with its bright eyes. I started breathing again. I reached over and touched the hatchlings head.  A Powerful shock went threw my body and I fell on my back and stayed there until the pain was over. I sat up and looked at the hatchling it was watching my every move. I smiled and realized that my head felt unprotected like a wall left my brain. I reached out with my mind to the little dragon like I've done it a thousand times it came naturally. my mind met the dragon and with some difficulty I learned that the dragon was a male. I started thinking of name suitable for the tiny dragon. I started listing of names and the dragon kept shaking his head. I got to the last name Dakäe, the hatchling nodded his head. I smiled then though, were is Brom? 

        I stood up and Dakäe climbed to my shoulder I patted his head and started calling"Brom!" I felt Dakäe turn around on my shoulder. I turned around as Dakäe had to turn around again.  Brom was there looking at Dakäe and asked."Did you come up with a name? "

"Yes, his name is Dakäe" I answered looking at the hatchling. Brom pulled out some meat and held it right in front of Dakäe.  He eyed the meat then snatched it up eagerly. I giggled and looked at Brom. He motioned for me to follow him. I followed Brom as a town appeared and got bigger the closer we got. Before we could get very close Brom stopped and commanded "hide Dakäe" as he handed me the blanket. I put the blanket on my shoulders as Dakäe climbed to my shirt. I made sure he was out of view before continuing. Brom went into Carvahall and I followed. He navigated down roads and paths  until we got to a small house. Brom opened the door and allowed me in. I went in and looked around the house seemed very dull and full of paper and books inside. I took the blanked off and Dakäe jumped off me and started looking around.

               There was a knock on the door I turned to Dakäe and commanded." Hide!" He looked around before running into what im guessing is Broms room. I went and sat in an extra chair."Come in!" Brom said. A boy near my age with brown hair stepped in. He looked around and his gaze fell on me."Who are you? I thought Brom lived alone?" The boy questioned.                                   "I'm Desiree and I wont be staying long." I answered                                 "Why did you come here boy?" Brom asked roughly                                  "to get information." The boy said.                                                                                          "Sit down we are going to be here for a while." Brom replied. I made myself comfy and studied the boy then I remembered . It was Eragon! How did I not notice sooner? " I keep hearing about Dragon Riders and of their supposed accomplishments. Most every one seems to want them to return, but I've never heard tell of how they were started, we're the dragons came from, or what made the riders special - aside from the dragons. " Eragon started off.

"A vast subject to talk about, " Brom grumbled.

      " I need my pipe before we start. " Brom said as he grabbed a pipe and filled it with cardus weed he lit it with a tinderbox.

"Now for the tea."Brom mumbled and put a kettle over the fire and started talking I got lost after Brom went over the details nothing I didn't already know. The kettle whistled and Brom got up took the kettle and poured three cups. He handed me and Eragon one and sat down again. I set my tea aside knowing it would burn my tongue.

         Before Brom could continue a loud thump could be heard from Broms room."I'll go find out " I said quickly and got up, Eragon watched me the whole time as I went to Broms room.

      "Dakäe what are you doing? " I questioned.  Dakäe came out from under the small oakwood bed with a thin pale tail sticking out of his mouth. I giggled as Dakäe finished his snack.

"Be quiet this time." I told Dakäe. I stood up and left the room and closed the door behind me.

          I entered the room to see Brom ushering Eragon out the door.  As Eragon left Brom said." You should get some sleep tomorrow we have plenty to do. " I grumbled as Brom opened his bedroom door, Dakäe dashed out knowing that Eragon left. Brom led us to the spare bedroom and said " there are spare clothes in the dresser " and he left me and Dakäe alone.

         I looked down on my clothes seeing I was wearing a dusty blue shirt and pants. I went to the dresser and I looked into the mirror and saw a rats nest on my head. I looked at the dresser and spotted a comb I grapped it and started to furiously work at my hair. Once it had no nots in my hair before turning to the bed. Dakäe was in the middle of the bed I sighed " Dakäe I need sleep too. " He scooted over and I climbed in. " Night " I whispered and I closed my eyes.
