Secrets {a fanfiction of Eragon}

Chapter 11

The plains were bare and unforgiving as the wind blew sand and dirt into our eyes. There was only grass and shrubs for miles in every direction. The sun burned our skin and cooked us; everyone was miserable. We only stopped to rest and feed and water the horses.

I looked at the Anora river to my right wishing I could jump in and sooth my sunburns, but that would slow us down. I looked ahead only to see more grass and shrubs, I groaned I was tired and agitated. I just wanted to go home and take a nice cold shower, but I couldn't I was stuck in this stupid place. The only good things that had happened here was Dakäe and Eragon except Eragon was pissed at me because of me not telling him about Dakäe. I angrily messed with my fingers twisting and interlacing them. I looked up at Dakaë then at Eragon my gaze softening when I looked at him. His head was hung, he was agitated and he was twiddling his thumbs.

A burst of air interrupted my thoughts and I looked ahead to see the grass moving like waves flattening and unflattering in a rhythm. Past the grass was a monstrous black cloud moving slowly toward us sheets of rain falling from the cloud." Under normal circumstances I wouldn't go into a storm like that but we have no choice." Brom declaired. Eragons face paled and he screamed." Saphira! Dakaë!" Brom and I's faces paled also as Saphira and Dakaë shot toward the ground like arrows but they wern't fast enough. A gust of wind overtook Dakaë before he landed. The wind overpowered Dakäe and blew him off coarse.

He back fliped and narrowly missing Saphira who was clinging onto the ground trying to fold her wings. Eragon leaped of his horse and raced toward Saphira. I urged Lightning toward Dakäe a plan in my mind.

Dakäe was fighting the wind so he looked frozen in air. I stopped Lightning when he was close enough to Dakäe. I slowly got up and crouched trying not to fall off. I sprang off of Lightning and wrapped my arms around Dakäes neck pulling him down a few feet. I swung my leg over his neck and sat on his back. Using my hands and arms I angled Dakäes wings so that he started heading for the ground.

The impact was unexpected so I flew off Dakäe and landed on my back all the air fleeing from my lungs. I opens my mouth trying to breath but I couldn't. I could hear my name being called and I turned my head to see Eragon dashing toward me. That's when the rain hit me like frozen daggers. I gasped finally getting some air into my lungs.

I began to sit up I needed to help Dakäe but someone pushed my back down again." Stay here I'll help Dakäe. " The words were kinda fuzzy but then again the world looked a little fuzzy. The rain only got colder as it penetrated my clothes. I did want a cold shower.

Dakäe suddenly apeared into my vision blocking most of the rain. Are you alright? Dakäe asked me. Yea just a little dizzy. I tried to get up but my arms were shaking and wobbly. Then a pair of arms picked me up, my gaze followed the arms only to land on Eragons face. He was looking at me with concern. Eragon carried me to his horse and I managed to choke out. " I can ride my horse." He only shook his head and proceeded to put me on his horse. Once Lightning was tied to the saddle Eragon hoped on behind me.

At first I tried to sit up on my own without Eragons help only to start leaning left slowly then losing my balance. This happened twice every time Eragon would steady me. On the third time I started to lean right and Eragon steadied me once again. I sighed in defeat finally giving up and leaning on Eragon who held me in a warm embrace. My eyes were getting droopy but I kept fighting off sleep. Get some sleep you will be fine. Dakäe told me. I slightly nodded my head letting eyes completely close.
