Secrets {a fanfiction of Eragon}

Chapter 9

      We walked for about an hour, Saphira was soaring above and Dakäe was jumping from tree to tree. Something prodded my mind to protect my self I thought of my best friend and nothing else.  It scanned my memories of Laura then left. I slowed down to Brom at the back.

"Brom." I asked a hint of worry in my voice.

"What is it Desiree.?" Brom questioned looking at me. "

I sighed then whispered. "I felt something prod my mind I blocked them out with memories of my best friend.  It looked at the memories then left. It didn't try to break my barrier at all."

"We will talk about it later but, your friend might be in danger. " Brom murmured.

"But She is in another realm! " I blurted.

           Eragon stopped in a pretty large opening I instantly went and started to collect sticks. Once I had a good armful I went to the center of the clearing and started to make a tepee. Eragon got out a tinderbox and lit the fire. Brom got out a pot and placed it over the fire Eragon added water, meat, and a lump of salt.

        I enjoyed the warmth of the fire and closed my eyes. Brom lit his pipe and of coarse Eragon started asking questions. "Brom why did you come with me?" Brom didn't answer at first then he said." Im a storyteller and I think you will make a fine story what if you kill the king? Who knows and I want to be there to see what you do. " Eragon was silent then Brom added."Let me show you something." I opened my eyes as he reached into his pack and pulled out something converted in cloth. Brom began to carefully unwrap it revealing a red sword.I looked at the sword with disgust.

         I quickly wiped my face off any emotion before Brom or Eragon could see. He handed the sword to Eragon and Eragon examined it and tried to give it back but Brom didn't take it. "Keep it, you have more of a right over it then me. " Brom claimed, Saphira came over and touched the tip of the sword making it ripple like water. I tuned out their conversation and wondered why me? Because you are special. Dakäe answered how am I special? I asked him. Because you see the truth behind lies and you are the only person in another world to have a dragon. Dakäe truthfully told. I was amazed at his wisdom.

          I was pulled from my thoughts when someone touched me it felt like a shock was going through my body in a good way.  I looked up to see Eragon whose hand was on my shoulder handing me food.  He had a surprised look on his face as if he felt something similar I took the food from his hand and thanked him.  He with his own bowl of food I looked at him He looked at me and we just stared at each others face Dakäe warmed me about something like be careful in who you fall in love with and blah blah blah. I didn't fancy Eragon he was just really handsome.  Brom cleared his throat his throat I looked away from Eragon my cheeks heating up.  Brom had a slightly amused face.  I finished my food maybe I liked Eragon just a little bit. Would the future change if Eragon did like me?  It would be bad to alter the book.  I slightly moved my hand and touched Eragons the shock rushing through my body.  Eragon must of felt it too because he moved his hand his hand closer to me.  Brom chose this moment to toss a stick at Eragon and I we both caught our sticks. " You two must train." Brom commanded
"I have to fight her? "Eragon questioned
     "Yes and don't go easy on me because I'm a girl. " I answered him.  I got up and took a fighting stance Eragon got up and tried to do a fighting stance and failed.  "Begin. " Brom said. So Eragon and I had a stick fight. He swung at me and I met his stick with my own stick. He was going easy on me which only made me mad. I smiled at Eragon, he seemed mesmerized by me smile I then took this chance to hit him in the side. A look of confusion passed Eragons face then realization. His face hardened and he tried harder. We kept fighting Eragon didn't land on hit on me while he was battered and bruised.I went to bed that night feeling confident.
