A/n- Sorry everyone, I got grounded so I wasn't allowed to write and stuff. Anyway, I'm getting some new reviewers than last time, I know this may sound greedy, but I would like more. Anyway thanks to all who have reviewed and listened to me. I know everyone wants that one story, and like this story to be a big hit. I think my story is making its way, but it is only my idea, and hopefully everyone else's too.

Disclaimer- I don't anything except for the plot and the characters that you never heard of before.


Chapter 4: The Sapphire Dragon


Katherine still stood in the doorway to the hutch, jaw to the floor. Gertrude was getting ready for anything that come her with the boy, Eragon.

"Did you say Eragon?" Katherine asked hardly moving anything except for her mouth.

"Yes, dear." She said rushing through drawers.

"Excuse me for one moment," Katherine said putting up a finger, she closed the hutch door behind as she went outside, again. She balled her hands into fists, and screamed a loud, high-pitched scream. So loud there was broken glasses from the other side of the city, so loud the whole world hear her, so loud that during her mother's candle-lit dinner in her real world was disturbed and asked her date if he heard something. Katherine stopped screaming, and then yelled to any frightened people there "I'm done." This was not as loud as her scream.

"Why did you scream?" Gertrude asked hands to her ears.

"Umm… I umm… I have heard of him before." Katherine said, "I heard he was available, and umm…I didn't think he was my type."

"Oh, all right then," She said with a face of confusion. "I don't know how you don't like this boy he is one of the nicest, handsomest boys I have ever met." There was a knock on the door. Gertrude pointed to it for Katherine. Katherine rolled her eyes, and went to answer it. She opened the door to find the man who had the cut on his side of the face.

"Hello, may I speak to Gertrude?" He asked politely. Katherine gave him a look of confusion, Why does he need to ask?, She thought.

"Yeah she right here." She pointed with her thumb behind her. He looked over her shoulder.

"Gertrude." He said abruptly. She looked towards his way.

"Brom, what has happened to your face?" She said checking if the blood was dry.

"Don't worry about. Anyway, Garrow his is in worst trouble. He has more cuts, and has many burns and we just discovered a fire at their farm." He said this as if he was scared, but Katherine knew he was hiding something. "I knew there was no room here him because of this young woman, so I bought him to Horst's house."

"Is that supposed to be an insult?" Katherine asked eyeing him suspiciously.

"No, of course not, especially being his savior." Brom said. Katherine was still eyeing him, and he knew. He was definitely hiding something.

"Good." She said flatly.

"Katherine why don't cool out Jack before he gets sick." Gertrude suggested. Katherine nodded. She left the two elders talking; she knew they had to unclothe Eragon so they can wrap the bandages around his thighs. She un-tacked Jack, and walk him around in a big circle. They were making tracks, those two been in there for a long time, she thought to herself, I hope they're not doing anything they're not suppose to do. Then Brom came out followed by Gertrude, they said their good-byes, and Gertrude went running for the city, to heal Garrow. Brom stood there for a few moments then went for the forest. There he goes again being suspicious. Katherinetied Jack up and followed Brom. When Brom got the edge of the forest, he turned around to see if anyone was around. Katherine ducked down into the snow. She waited a few minutes then saw he was inside the forest.

She hid behind trees to make sure Brom wouldn't see her for a long time. One last time, she hid behind a tree when Brom was looking and he smiled when was done. Katherine then realized that she was in the same clearing that she was before. She stood behind a tree watching Brom. He was looking up into the sky. He spoke something really loudly in language that Katherine had never heard of before. Then out of nowhere a huge sapphire thing landed right in front of him. Katherine eyes grew wide amazement, it was a dragon, and the thing she saw flying above her head before.

Brom and the dragon were at least two yards apart. He tried to reach his hand to the dragon's face; the dragon jerked backed a huffed. It had smoke coming out of its nostrils. Brom looked disappointed, he spoke the funny language to it, and it looked like it understood what he was saying.

"How in the world?" Katherine asked herself scratching her head with a finger. Brom finished what her was saying and began walking away, the dragon just stood, looking like it was thinking hard. Katherine watched Brom for a few seconds, when he was out of sight, and then Katherine stepped into the clearing.

The dragon awakened from out its trance. It watched every step that Katherine took. Katherine walked slowly and with caution, she stopped when she got squared with the dragon. It glared at her; Katherine was watching its sapphire eyes, as the dragon stared into Katherine's.

Katherine had taken a step forward, and reached out her hand. It took a step backward, and then Katherine stood straight up.

"I'm not going to hurt you." Katherine said soothingly, and took another step forward, the dragon just stood there. Katherine's face was up against the dragon's face, and she reached out her hand to pet it. The dragon had some smoke come out of its nostrils. Katherine was a little afraid to have a hand bitten off, so she closed her eyes.

She then felt a rough scaly surface, and heard a loud purr. Katherine opened one eye and saw that her hand was not bloody or anything, but on the dragonhead. She smiled big. She kept on stroking it, as the dragon purred.

After a while of stroking the dragon, it jerked back. Katherine gave a puzzled look.

"What's wrong?" Katherine asked, the dragon looked like she knew what she was saying and pointed its head forward, behind Katherine. She looked behind nothing was there, Katherine looked back confused.

Out of nowhere someone or something jumped up and grabbed Katherine by the neck. She began to scream. The thing was a person because it covered its hand over her mouth. The dragon was rearing with fury and puffing smoke. Katherine's eye were bugged out, and was kicking madly to get out of the persons' arms. Oh my god this really going to happen to me, she thought, I never went IM chat rooms and yet I'm going get raped and die.

The arms of the attacker turned her. She stared at him with big eyes.

It was Brom.
