She was pumping her arms, heart racing, huffing. She had never ran this fast in her life. What girl had to go through this? As she ran, her bare foot scraped against rocks and twigs, she clearly left a path. She through she was safe going until she reached a very foresty area and yelped as someone grabbed her.

"AHHH!" She schriecked, the person sturggled to wrap and arm around her waist and picked her up. She could hear them huffing; it was a man. "AH! NO! NO! STOPP!" She tried beating the persons back but he strung her, wordlessly over his shoulder none the less. "LET ME GO! LET ME GO!" She pounded her fist on the persons back, he squeezed her leg, shooting pain up her body. She felt the egg slowly slip from her fingers. She watched silently as it lay in the grass.

He was holding her in a way where she felt strangely like a grocery bag. When she had relaxed, noticing that the man hadnt said anything for the past half hour and just walked straight forward, not even looking down at her. She examined the sort of leather he was wearing. It covered his whole entire chest and had a raw look to it. She pinched it and peered up at the man; all she could see was a dark brown messy cut of hair. It had a sort of purple look to it, either it was dirty or just that was natural. He hadnt stirred. She narrowed her eyes and descretley pulled out my necklace which was a cross. A surveyed the armour and tapped palces to find a weak spot. She peered infront of her throught the hook of the mans elbows and saw that they were nearing some kind of camp site. All the logs were seat up in the way of seats and the fire which had recently been put out was smoking.

This was now or nothing. She licked her lips and jabbed the cross with all her force, into the mans midriff. He gave a startled cry and let go of her. She fell on her back, looking up at him. This time she got a good view. From behind, you would never tell that he looked that handsome. Whatever this guy did out here in the forest, did a body good. Snapping out of her daze, she sprinted, right past the fire. She almost stumbled on the logs but she was confused when he didnt move, just shook his head as she looked back. The clearing ended and she found herself in an area where the tree tops blocked most of the sunlight. She kept running, but the only problem was that she kept her head down. She only knew she had rna into someone when strong hands grabbed her as she tried to spin away.

"No! Let go!" she snarled, pulling. She turned back around, he was holding her arms so roughly, She was so close when she turned around that she jerked her head back. If she wasnt so confused she wouldnt have let her get picked up. But the boy looking about her age and struggled to pick her up. But he actually managed to through her over his shoulder, even as she struggled, but once she fell he was on her like a peice of meat. He pinned her down and looked her in the eyes. She stared into each one, not with awe but with anger. She clenched her teeth and tried to make herself look as mean as possible.

"GET OFF ME!" She yelled, slowly, but deliberatly.

"No," He tilted his head and grabbed her waist, pulling her up with him. "Who are you?"

"Who am I?! Is that the first thing you ask me you psycho! I was just running, you dont stop someone when theyre running! It could have been some pedifile running behind me chasing me and you would have just offered me to him." She talked with my hands, trying to distract him. He stared at her with wonder. Narrowing his eyes each time she made a swift movement. She took a deep breath when he didnt answer and yelled quickly, "DEKE!" and ran around him, only to get caught by hands once again. She turned around, expecting Eragon but got an eyefull of that man. He was heaving like he had just ran. I eyed his canine teeth, so...pointy.

"Murtagh who is this woman?"

"Heres the pedifile now. Is this the reason you didnt answer me?" She stepped infront of this Murtagh and Eragon. The blonde boy, Eragon looked her up and down. "You two know eachother." She sucked her teeth, awkwardly.

"She was running through the forest." Shayy was shocked by the mans not so deep voice. It was more young. She would have figured by judging by his body, that he would be a a huge tank and had a deep voice.

"YOU TOO!" She jabbed a finger into his chest. "What if I was running away from someone?" He grabbed her hand and held it tight, almost as if to pull her closer. She yelped, feeling his hands crush her fingers. She had to turn everywhich way to make herself comfortable as he twisted.

"How do I know your not some kind of traitor?" He growled. For the 3rd time that day, she was picked up, unwillingly. The supposed Murtagh paid no attention when she had complained and just tisked. She watched Eragon over the mans shoulder who strung his bow over his shoulder and followed silently behind, making sure not to look Shayy in the eyes.

She peered narrowed eyed at him. He was young, he looked older but by the way he looked and spoke, she knew he wasnt older than her.

She snarled when she was throw to the ground, feeling her back hit against a log. She looked behind her to see she was back at the clearing/camp. Eragon put a hand to her chest and pushed her down when she had tried to get up, kneeling down beside her on one knee.

"Wh-what?" She mumbled, struggling to get up. He pushed her down with a finger this time, painfully leaving a mark.

"Explain." He stated.

"Explain what?! I was just throw into the forest with NOTHING, who does that?" She tried to get up but this time Murtagh pushed her down. "If you dont mind, Id like to leave now."

"We do mind! What were you doing?" She felt the ground shake and she screamed,

"HES BACK! RUN!" She went to get up but Eragon put a firm hand around her upperarm and held tight. He looked behind him and she saw that the trees were spreading. The first thing she saw was blue. Gleaming in the sunlight, beautiful. But then the creature reared its head. She screamed, trying to scramble away but Eragon used both hands now, trying to shake some sense into her. It was a dragon. Then she realized, when it lowered its head and let Eragon pet it that it wasnt evil at all. Then it nudged her leg and let its head rise back up.

"What were you doing?" He continued like the tall dragon was nothing to worry about.

"Some guy, he was chaising me and-" Shes stopped herself. She knew how to prove that she wasnt evil. "Is that a dragon?" Eragons head jerked at the sudden question.

"Yes. Shes mine."She; it wasnt everyday that you saw a boy have a girl dragon. Then again, it wasnt everyday you saw a dragon!

"So then youre on the good side right?" He peered narrow eyed at her.

"Whats this about good side and bad side?"

"Well I mean-do you know about the egg?" Eragon looked to Murtagh, he only seemed to glimpse at the dargon. She lowered a large yellow eye and peered at me. I held my breath.

"She knows about the egg?" Eragon put a hand infront of his face and whispered to his partner.

"Do you think?" They werent being very descrete, seeing as they kept looking back from Shayy to eachother.

"I-I can show it to you." She breathed, pulling her legs up close to her.

"Show what?" Murtagh lifted his head.

"T-The egg." She wasnt sure if what she was doing was the right thing.

"Youve seen it?"

"Yes, its b-black aa-and it looks like a stone right?" Both boys leaned in closer.

"Did you touch this stone." Murtagh peered.

"Yes, when you carried me away, I dropped it." She nodded her head like saying 'thanks alot buddy'. They both sat upright. Eragon swallowed hard, giving a perfect view of his adams apple.

"Show it to us."

"No! Okay, first of all, I proved myself to you, now you do the same." She gave a hard look.

"Dont you know who we are little girl," he growled, "I could just go and find it myself."

"Little girl?! Have you even seen me, Im 15."She nodded. Eragon shifted at this.

"Youre fifteen really?" He smiled. Suddenly it felt like her breath was taken away, she couldnt speak. She made a noise and nodded. That was a Kodak moment right there.

"Eragon, no time for games, we need that egg befor Gallbatorix gets his paws on it." Shayy made a noise like a gasp making both set of eyes land on her. She sunk down and said in a small voice.

"Does Gallbatorix by any chance look like a teenager and has a grey Dragon?" A slow steady glance was exchanged between Eragon and Murtagh. Then with another brilliant smile that made Shayy sink even lower, they shared a laugh. She saw up, thinking they were making fun of her and scowled.

"Ha ha, little girl,"

"Why do you continue to think thats funny?" She cut him off, but it didnt seem to do any damage because he grabbed his stomache and started in a fit of laughter once again.

"Do you...even...know...who Galbatorix is?" He paused every few words to get in a small chuckle.

"No...why do you think I asked?" She bobbed heard head, confused.

"He is only the most powerful ruler of Algaesia. But hes evil." He suddenly turned serious. "It was just funny that you thought of him as a teenager."

"No its not." She got up to be pushed down again. "Will you stop doing that!" She spat. These people werent taking her seriously. She got up and this time they let her. She balled her fists up and was prepared to hit any one of them if should every try anything, even though she knew that she probably wouldnt have to. "I saw him, I saw him with my own eyes!" She pulled her hadns tightly to her side, feeling frustrated.

"Yeah, sure you did." They both nodded sarcastically.

"He-he told me that I looked good on-" She stopped herself, it was probably a better idea if they didnt know that he had said that.

"What on his-" She jumped quickly onto Murtagh who in surpise caught her on his stomache as they toppled to the ground. Shayy, taking the advantage grabbed his ear and pulled upwards making him cry out. She had thought he was going to say 'him' but as he coughed out, she heard,

"ON HIS DRAGON ON HIS DRAGON GET OF CRAZY WOMAN!" Oops, she thought and let him go. She was atleast glad that he recognized her as a woman instead of a little girl now. Regaining her dignity, and getting off of his stomache, she coughed embarassed.

"I-Ill show you the...the egg. Fine, lets go now." She huffed, walking away, waiting for them to follow.
