Chapter 2:"You wouldn't kill me Arya," "Try me"
Arya awoke early next morning to hear Eragon laughing outside the cave, she called him.
"Eragon"
"Arya" she heard him rush into the cave and saw him come in. he brought her a plate of food and she sat up. He placed it at her feet and she picked it up.
'And you didn't want to keep her' Saphira announced sarcastically
"Eragon" he looked at her.
"Yes"
"Why did you leave Du Weldenvarden?" Eragon sighed. Then put the food by her feet.
"Do you want to know truly why"
"Yes"
"Then make yourself comfortable this will take a long time" Arya put down her food and sat up straight.
"Firstly you have to understand that I lost everything Oromis and Glader died, Roran disappeared with the Varden and I never saw him again and I suspected you dead so I left Du Weldenvarden to search of a new life. Then a came to discover new abilities, I scryed the future Arya, and I saw that at the final battle of this land, there will be four Dragon riders at the final battle between the races and Galbatorix" Arya ignored this last bit.
"So you just fled and that was it?" retorted Arya
"You came here and hid yourself away and looked-" she stopped mid sentence "wait there will be four riders in the final battle. Whom does the egg hatch for?" She asked eagerly looking into the corner where the egg lay. Eragon sighed.
"The final rider is you"
"What" She cried stunned "No I'm not a Shur'turgal"
"Yes you are"
"How"
"Well because you bring with you a dragon egg that has chosen you and will soon be hatching.
"What!"
"Calm down please sit"
"I will not take any orders from you shadeslayer you just left and fled like a coward leaving the elves and the Varden to die. You are not Eragon you have changed you are no longer a rider" and with all her anger Arya spat at the floor at his feet. Eragon looked down, then rage burned through him. Arya realised she had gone to far.
"Thrysta" he roared. Arya fell back onto the rock screaming in agony.
'Eragon what are you doing' Saphira abruptly stopped his flow of magic. Arya lay in a deep sleep yet again.
"Do you love me Arya" he whispered under his breath.
Arya woke up and wiped blood from her mouth.
"You are not Eragon" she muttered.
Eragon said nothing he just turned and left the cave.

Eragon returned later that day with a plate of food, and Arya's sword. He placed the food and egg down on the ground. She got up and stretched her arms.
"Why did you bring my sword?"
"Sparring" and he threw it to her, she unsheathed it as Eragon pulled a plain sword from his belt he protected the edge but Arya didn't Eragon didn't notice though. They started Arya jumped forward with a flourish of attacks. All of which Eragon blocked. Then he repelled with his own attacks Arya only just blocked the final one as he lunged for her head, after he lunged Arya kicked him in the stomach sending him against the cave of the wall. She jumped forward and pinned him against the wall her sword at his neck.
"Let me go" she whispered.
"You wouldn't kill me Arya"
"Try me" and she pushed the sword against his neck harder drawing blood.
"Why wouldn't I kill you?"
"Because you still love me he said smiling" Arya paused but she didn't love him, or did she.
"I never loved you and never will" and she pushed the blade harder against his neck. Eragon grunted in pain.
"Say that in the ancient language" He grunted. She paused again.
"Why should I?"
"To prove that you don't love me"
"I don't need to I never lie"
"If that is what you believe then I know that you love me" Anger boiled inside Arya she pushed the blade still further into his neck. He grunted again.
"Even if you did knock me unconscious do you think you could get past Saphira. Arya faltered she hadn't anticipated getting past Saphira. Eragon took this to his advantage and knocked Arya's sword away then put his own at her neck.
"Just kill me Eragon," She whispered with the metal at her throat. Her sword hung limply at her side.
"I will not kill you Arya I still remember the past" Eragon sheathed his sword, wiped the blood from his neck, and strode out of the cave he moved a boulder across the entrance with magic and disappeared.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eragon returned in the morning with a fresh plate of food this time Saphira stuck her head in the cave. Arya noticed he hadn't healed the cut on his neck, it was still there with dried blood. She felt slightly bad for doing what she did yesterday.
"Hello Saphira" called Arya Saphira inclined her head. Eragon laid the plate of food down on Arya's bed/rock and turned to her when there was a cracking noise behind him, Eragon turned and saw the cracks appearing on the egg then the pieces burst out and there lay a emerald green Dragon.
