Disclaimer: I do not own Eragon but I do own Lexiana and Zach.

Lexiana tore down the path of the forest. She had to get away... had to get away!

~*~*~*~*

Lex woke with a start. It was only a dream, but it was always the same one. And like every night since she turned 14, a week ago it terrified her. She relaxed. She was sitting in her bed in her house and nothing was trying to get her. She reached up a hand to feel the pointed tips of her ears.

She sat in the darkness pondering her ears as she so often did. She had had them all her life (along with slanted eyes) and she liked them, but other kids avoided her and she used to be teased relentlessly, but she had learned to block them out. Besides Her family didn't mind , and neither did her one and only friend Zach. She could tell him almost anything, so she decided that tomorrow she would tell him about her dreams.

Satisfied, she lay back down and fell asleep.

So what do you think? I know it's short, but I had to start somewhere. Please review!!!!!
