Strawberry Rain Chapter I: Erika's first dream

A/N: Teehee. This is my first Eragon fanfic try, so be nice. I'm new here, so don't expect a masterpiece, but review anyways!

The true story takes place at the end of Eldest during the battle between Murtagh and Eragon where Murtagh reveals that he is Eragon's brother.

I cheat by not reading Eldest, but reading what happened from you people, so tell me if I'm wrong. Don't do it in a mean way, it's a Fan fic after all.

I know this isn't exactly possible, but don't flame me. I got tired of reading that Galbatorix had a daughter, so I decided that maybe Thorn had a long-lost sister that was turned into a human and sent to Earth when Galbatorix received Thorn's egg (first or second, I don't know). I kind of made up that it was thirteen years ago, it may be more or less than that, so don't flame me!

I also got tired of the Mary Sues that got Eragon. What's so great about Eragon anyway? He IS a Mary Sue, so why do people like him? Anyways, here's the first chapter. Disclaimer: I don't own anything. 'Ready for Love' is a song by Cascada, not TheFlyingPotatoes64.

Prologue: Erika's first dream

Two eggs were placed in front of Galbatorix. The first egg was all pure ruby red. The second egg was red and blue. The red looked spray-painted onto the blue.

This confused Galbatorix: how could a dragon egg be two colors at once?

The council person knew that Galbatorix was confused by the look on his face.

"What's wrong with this one?" He pointed at the second one.

"Nothing," Galbatorix said, "I can't sense a dragon inside of there, that's all. Oh, HOW COULD A DRAGON EGG BE TWO COLORS AT ONCE!? DID YOU SPRAY PAINT THE RED ON TO MAKE IT LOOK PRETTY, YOU LITTLE SONS OF FLYING MONKEYS OF OZ!!"

"But my L-L-Lord, it came that way-"SILENCE! I PERMIT YOU NEVER TO LOOK FOR A DRAGON EGG EVER AGAIN!" Galbatorix interrupted the councilmen's plea.

"Very well," The councilman said.

"Smash it," the angry king said.

"But my lord-"NO AND, IF, OR BUTS! SMASH IT UNTIL IT'S NOTHING BUT SCATTERED PIECES OF EGG!" Galby interrupted once again.

"You can't break a dragon egg!" a councilman screamed.

"Find a way!" Galbatorix ordered.

Both Galbatorix and the councilmen turned to the shadow behind the pillar.

"Durza, come out," Galbatorix said.

Durza slowly came out of the shadow in a Darth Vader-like way, "What do want?"

"Smash the egg," Galbatorix said.

"You do know that in the process it might curse the dragon inside of it." Durza said.

"I don't care. Multi-colored eggs hatch for Mary Sues, Mary Sues shall are worse than me, and will end my reign; and we don't want that, now would we?"

"No," Durza said. "Then do it," Galbatorix said, "Smash the egg."

"Well, don't say I didn't warn you!" Durza picked up the egg, "Kowashimas,"

Light of surrounded the egg, and crack sounds broke in a million pieces.

There lied a human baby girl. Everyone stared in complete horror.

"DURZA, YOU IDIOT!!" Galbatorix screamed, "HOW DID YOU DO THAT!?"

"I don't know! I thought you didn't care!" Durza plead.

"Send it to that planet that Sues drop from." Galbatorix said.

"But that would have to be done by the-spell-that-must-not-be-named!" Durza plead.

Galbatorix gave him the 'do it or else' glare. Durza got the picture.

Durza cleared his throat, "Sore dochira des nai shinde iru ta eternal yoko ni narimas naka, shikashi hen na aeons even shinde iru ta shi nimas,"

The whole room covered in glowing brilliance of every color of the color spectrum. It glowed so brightly the councilmen, Galbatorix, and Durza were forced to cover their eyes.

When it finally stopped the child was gone.

13 years later

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" A certain Erika Toriyama screamed as she woke up. Her long, crimson red hair stood still and her two colored eyes (Blue and Green) filled with fear. She didn't know why she was afraid, she had this dream before.

In that fact, she had this dream for a good two weeks straight. Erika looked at the time: 7:28 AM. Erika would be starting the seventh grade in three weeks. She looked at the ceiling, which was painted crimson red.

Oh man, She thought, not again. I'm tired of these damn stupid dreams. She clenched her fist.

All Erika ever wanted was to have a boyfriend without turning into a red, blue, or green dragon right in front of his eyes. It made her want to explode. When she saw cute, popular boys run down the hallways she was reminded of the curse she was under.

School would soon be under new management soon, but all she knew was that her neighbor, Sephiroth, would be working there.

"Erika, breakfast is ready!" Her 'mother' called from upstairs. The call echoed. Their house was made in the Revolutionary War. At night, it noises echoed throughout the house. It had a very thick forest in the backyard that stretched out for a good two miles.

That's when the alarm went off.

Cascada music burst out as loud as a volcano eruption.

"You took a piece of my heart

I never thought that this could fall apart.

You said you feel in love

And this was more than I could ever be afraid of.

Another life

Another happy ending cuts like a knife.

Another place, another time, another hand to touch,

Another sun to shine!

You got my deeper than deep and I'm constantly blinded.

I'm running around, but there's no place to hide.

I start to talk in my sleep, our souls are divided.

Why can't they forgive these demons inside?

Deeper than deep and I'm constantly blinded.

My heart starts to shiver for I was letting up.

I start to talk in my sleep, because our souls are divided.

How can it feel that you're ready for-"

Erika shut off the alarm on her iHome.

"GET DOWN HERE BEFORE I MAKE YOU!" Her adoptive mother screamed.

"FINE!" Erika screamed back, echoing throughout the house.

The Kitchen

Erika sat there looking at the television. After Sponge Bob Square pants were over her adoptive mother flipped the channel to The Weather Channel.

"Awww ma," Erika said, "I was going to switch it to The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy!"

It's going have very odd weather. I don't know how to tell you this…but we'llgulps have a shower of…Strawberries. Um…right." The Weatherman said.

Mrs. Toriyama looked seriously pissed, "Oh yeah right! Strawberries are things that you grow in gardens in the ground, not the sky!"

Mrs. Toriyama shared no love with her dragon-Animagus adoptive daughter. She was a real-life-no-Fantasy-loving kind of mom. Toriyama was also over-protective, she didn't allow Erika to make nerdy friends, she made sure Erika would only watch shows normal girls watched, she made sure that Erika like what the other girls liked, and she made sure Erika dressed as a normal girl; she made sure Erika would be a normal girl. Mrs. Toriyama wanted a normal girl; but she had no luck with her long-dead husband who died in a car accident. She decided to adopt a child then, but found baby Erika on their doorstep.

"It's Wednesday," Mrs. Toriyama said, "You know what that means?"

"Lost?" Erika gulped.

"Yes,"

Erika rolled her eyes. This was going to a long, long day.

A/N: Teehee. Tell me what u think! REVIEW and I shall give you an M&M white cake!! And I hug! Teehee, Murtagh will appear in another dream of Erika's, in the battle at the Burning Plains sometime next chapter. I know the chapter's rough, but the story has to start somewhere! REVIEW! OH PLEASES REVIEW!

Oh yeah, that spells that Durza cast in Erika's first dream was mostly in Japanese according to a phrasebook I have. I couldn't find 'eternal', 'even', 'death', 'aeons', or even 'of'. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Kowahimas- break

Sore dochira des nai shinde iru ta eternal yoko ni narimas naka, shikashi hen na aeons even shinde iru ta shi nimas—That which is not dead may eternal lie, but in strange aeons, even dead may die.

Ever heard that quote? Anyways, REVIEW! I'm sorry if it doesn't fit with the story, they didn't mention a lot about Thorn. They said that Thorn will have a bigger role in the 3rd book and may tell about his origin, but it's just not there yet, isn't it?? Cascada is an awesome Dance group; check them out on the YouTube!
