Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

With all this talk about the bird flu and mad cow disease I decided to make this. For those who are upset about me putting up too many stories, it is under control.

Mad Dragon Disease

Saphira, I am lonely.

I'll be back in a few minutes little one.

Eragon heard a sound behind him and turned quickly.

"Eragon! We need you back here now!" Nasuada yelled.

"What is going on?" Eragon asked.

"It's Thorn! He has landed without Murtagh! He is destroying the city!"

"What?" Eragon cried.

"Hurry up!"

Eragon broke into a sprint and saw fire in the distance. He picked up his pace and soon was in the castle walls and saw many people surrounding something. Eragon ran over to them and pushed people out of the way to see Thorn bound with elves surrounding him. One of them looked up and recognized her as Arya.

"Eragon, where is Saphira?" Arya asked as Eragon approached.

"She is coming. What happened to Thorn?"

"He is dead. He was able to give us information though. Thorn was infected by a disease aimed at dragons. All of them were infected."

"What does the disease do?" Eragon asked, thinking of Saphira.

"It causes them to go insane. They kill anything and anyone in their path. Where is Saphira?"

"Why do you want Saphira?"

"She has been infected. If she isn't killed, she will kill more people."

"You can't kill Saphira! What has she done wrong?"

Little one, why is Thorn here?

Don't land Saphira!

It was too late. Saphira landed with a thud and stood over Eragon.

"Kill her! Kill the dragon!" A man yelled from the audience.

"Of with its head!" A woman yelled.

Run Saphira! Eragon cried.

I won't leave you!

Come back for me! You must run!

I will be back little one.

Saphira flapped her wings and shot into the sky. The people were angered by this and began to riot.

"Hey! If we kill her rider, she will die!" A man yelled.

"Kill Eragon!"

Eragon yelped and looked for an escape route. When he saw there was none he knew there was one way to save Saphira's life. He began to severe their link and could feel Saphira's bond to him breaking.

Don't even think about it Eragon! Saphira roared from above.

Saphira!

The blue dragon swooped down and picked up Eragon in her talons. She tossed him onto her back and flew higher into the sky.

You saved me Saphira.

Why wouldn't I?

Where will we go?

I have a place picked out. Don't you worry. It is a place where we can be all alone.
