Songfic.
Every time we lie awake
Murtagh watches up at the stars thinking about his past life before he sided with Galbatorix.
After every hit we take
Arendil slapping him and walking off after finding about his defection leaving him alone on the burning plains.
Every feeling that I get
Arendil's scorch mark on a tree after Murtagh left.
But I haven't missed you yet
The empty spot on the bed that remains cold next to Murtagh.
Every roommate kept awake
All the nights Eragon and Lyssa were kept awake by their fighting.
By every sigh and scream we make
Whenever they sought to outdo each other.
All the feelings that I get
The single tear that rolls down Arendil's cheek.
But I still don't miss you yet
Murtagh stares out of the window wondering what she is doing.
Only when I stop to think about it
Every time Arendil closes her eyes it's only him she sees.
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
What they have become and their feelings untold and stained by hate.
