Eragon was woken up the next morning by a sharp pain in his arm. The bandages were starting to cover in blood. "Oh great. Can't just things go right at least once?!"

He quickly dressed trying not to touch is left arm and went downstairs to the kitchen. Alice was there preparing breakfast. Seeing him she raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"You're up early" she said.

"Well you're earlier" he grumbled. "Do you have any bandages? My arm's bleeding again."

The girl went to cupboard and took out bandages and a little dark brown bottle. Eragon held his left hand for her to give him the bandages but the young girl just began to untie the wraps around his arm.

"I can do it myself you know."

Alice didn't answer and took off the last bandage. The wound wasn't deep but it kept bleeding. He shivered as something cold touched his skin. Alice was cleaning the wound with a cotton ball which she previously soaked in cold water.

Her hair was tied in a low ponytail, a few rebelling curls were falling on either side of her face. She was close enough for him to smell the almost imperceptible sweet sent coming from her. The scent was calming. But no matter how much he tried he couldn't determine what scent it was.

"It' going to hurt" she said soaking another cotton ball in the brownish liquid from the bottle.

It did hurt but not as much as he thought. She rolled the cotton ball on his arm so that the wound was covered by a thin layer of the brown medicine, then she tied new bandages.

"Thanks" muttered Eragon.

"Not at all" she replied smiling. "What do you want for breakfast?"

Eragon smiled. "Chocolate"

After eating Alice began to show him how to use all the technology in the kitchen. His constant confused and amazed look made her laugh every time. They spent the day like that, slowly warming up to each other. In the evening Eragon asked the young girl if she would like to meet Saphira. By the way her eyes lit up he saw that she would be more than happy.

"That would be great!"
