"Well, since I have an errand to attend to our king, you pigs must go and take care of the orphanage while I am gone. And when I come back, the orphanage must be in its best state you got that?" Gerard ordered. All the kids in the orphanage nodded, all of them thinking Just shut up and leave…

Gerard finally finished his speech, and he picked up his canvas sack and he walked out of the orphanage. All the orphans waited till they couldn't hear any footsteps anymore, before they all let out Hurrahs! Jenna however, was worried over the flying lizard.

Blasts of hunger kept on following her all around. She should be used to not having so much food, but why is she so hungry all of a sudden?

She finally understood though, when she heard loud cries. There was roaring and shrill screaming. Jenna finally understood. The beast was hungry. Letting her eyes dart around, she slipped away from the children's celebrating.

Lucas's eye caught his friend trying to get away.

"Oi! Jenna! Where you going?" he asked. Jenna silently cursed at Lucas. "I – I need to do something! Be right back!" With that, she ran toward her room.

Her room at a window that she could fit through, if she jumped she could probably make it to the window. Grabbing her sack of meat, she first pushed it out the window, then she jumped. Her legs sprung her up, and her hands caught the side of the window, and she heaved herself up.

The rest of her body accompanied her fall, as she fell through the window with a thud. Grabbing the sack of meat, she ran toward the forest, following the sounds of roars.

When she saw the beast, the creature was already two times bigger than before. It let out a snort of disgust at the girl, and then Jenna showed it the meat. It probably gone bad, but she hoped that the creature would like it. The dragon imitated a gag, but he carefully ate the food, slowly chewing it then swallowing. Then, it started to eat the rest, with much less carefulness than he did before. Once he was done, the whole sack was gone, and the beast smiled at Jenna, licking its mouth in satisfaction. It then lay to the ground, curled its long golden tail around itself, and began to sleep again. Jenna looked at the empty sack of meat, and let out a sigh. She would need to buy more meat. Just, where was she going to get the money?

Jenna wiped Billy's shop window with her hands, and she peered in through the window. Meat was hung on top of the roof, and it looked so vulnerable over there. She crept toward the door, and quietly, she opened it carefully. The door gave away without a sound, and Jenna crept toward the counter. Using her hands, she ripped the meat off of the hooks they were on, each and every one of them. Stuffing them into the empty meat stack, she quickly darted toward the exit.

"Yo! What are you doing?" The voice was familiar. Jenna turned around, and there was Billy. His face was a bit irritated, but when he saw who it was, it softened a bit.

"What are you doing?" he asked, his voice was less harsh than it was before. Jenna cursed under her breath.

"I – I didn't have enough money to feed my lizard. And I only have my lizard to keep me company on the cold days." Her eyes turned all big and round, and she forced up fake tears to grab sympathy from the man.

"Awww…" Billy couldn't stand the cute little face of a twelve year old. "What is your name?" he asked softly, crouching till he was as high as Jenna was, and he patted her back.

"Jenna." she replied, looking at the sack of meat.

"How about I let you keep all those meat for free." he said, giving Jenna a warm smile. "I can supply meat for you for free, for your, lizard." Billy said.

Jenna brightened up. "Really?" she asked. Billy smiled. "Yup." Jenna laughed and ran to Billy and hugged him. "Thank you thank you thank you!" she cried. The man chuckled and he patted Jenna on the back. "Don't mention it."

Smiling, Jenna dragged her meat sack home…

"Here." she said, dumping all the meat onto the floor. The beast seemed pleased with the amount of food, and it licked its lips and started to eat. After three pieces, he let out a satisfied burp.

"Hey, you." Jenna said, "How about I just leave the sack here so I don't have to feed you all the time?" The dragon just nodded. Jenna let out a sigh. She couldn't let the smell of the meat attract people. Looking around, she stuffed the meat under a small hole from the bush and the floor. The dark shadows hid the meat well.
"Um… flying lizard thing." Jenna said, feeling awkward at the words she was speaking. The beast's face curled up in scorn at how it was called, and it shook its golden head. Jenna let out a sigh.

"Bye." she said. The lizard just nodded, and it let out yawn and laid down.

Lucas looked at the sky. It was nightfall already, and Jenna wasn't anywhere. He checked her room, the orphanage, everywhere. Where was she?

"Hey Lucas I am back!" she said, charging behind him. She screeched to a stop, and she let out a short shallow breaths.

"Where have you been?" His voice came out slightly irritated.
"Oh… um… I have been… uh…" Jenna said, trying to think of an excuse.

"I have been getting food for everyone." Jenna stuttered. Lucas raised an eyebrow.

"Oh yea? Exactly where is the food?" Lucas tested. Jenna let out a sheepish laugh.

"Well, I couldn't find any. Oops." Jenna let out an uneasy laugh. Jenna yawned and stretched.

"Gee it's late today. I better go to sleep." With that, she ran down the hallway and darted into the small room called her bedroom.

Lucas was beyond suspicion. What was his friend up to? He felt sort of left out, for his friend always in concluded him in everything. Now Jenna was being secretive with him

Fine, be secretive with me. See if I care. he thought grumpily. Walking down the hallway, he entered his room, and smashed the door behind him.

Finally, an entire two weeks passed without Gerard and when that wave of famine hit Jenna once more. She knew what this meant. The flying lizard was hungry, and it ran out of food. She crept out of the orphanage once more, and she closed the wooden door. This caught Lucas's attention once more. What was his friend hiding from him? His curiosity was getting the better of him, but he held himself back. Jenna would spill. And he would be waiting her for the day she would.

Running into Billy's shop, she, panting, asked him for ten more pound of meat.

"Your lizard is that hungry?" he asked. Jenna nodded.

"He is the fattest lizard I know." she said, smiling. The man let out a sigh and took out a huge bulk of red meat, and started to chop it up into many pieces. Once he was done, he put it all into a sack, and gave it to Jenna.

"Here ya go." he said, smiling pleasanty. Jenna bowed, and she hoisted the meat sack onto her shoulder. With that, she went off.

"Hey, flying lizard." She frowned. She couldn't be calling the beast that all the time could she.

I am a dragon you dimwit. Stop calling me a flying lizard. Jenna's eyes flew wide open.

"You… You…"

Ugh. I am in your mind talking to you. That is the only way we dragons can communicate with you.

So you can read my mind?

Well yes. I can. If I can speak in your mind I can definitely see what you are saying and seeing right?

With that, the "dragon" curled its tail around its golden body.
Oh and also, I need a name. Since you're my rider it would be stupid if you went around calling me 'Flying lizard'

Jenna thought for a moment

"Sky?" she asked.

I am not blue stupid.

Jenna thought for a few more moments.

Goldy?

What do you think I am a fish?

Jenna rolled her eyes, and thought again.

Fyr?

Gee aren't you a creative one.

Jenna raised her hands in frustration.

"What name do you like then?" she snapped. The dragon's face twisted up into an amused smirk.

I don't name myself. My rider needs to name me.

Jenna sat down and thought some more.

Dagger?

Humph. It will do. the dragon – Dagger, smiled, so Jenna knew it was pleased with a name, even though it didn't seem to be on the outside.

Quick question, it might sound awkward.

Your awkward. Dagger huffed, and lifted its proud majestic head. Jenna rolled her eyes.

Are you a girl or a boy?

Immense laughter broke out of the dragon, as it fell to the ground with laughter

"What?" Jenna snapped. The dragon finally regained its composure, and let out a few chuckles before it answered.

I am a boy… gee how stupid can you get?

How am I supposed to know geez…

Um… I don't look like one?

I never met a dragon in my life okay?

Haha.

Jenna spent the whole day with her dragon, knowing that now it – he could talk. She only came back to the orphanage when the moon was high in the sky, and the night was dotted with shining stars.

And right at the door, Lucas was right in front of her. He planted his hands on his hips, and he looked expectantly at Jenna.

"Oh… um… hi Lucas!" Jenna said, giving him a charming smile. She was going to walk past him, but then he seized her by the shoulder, and whirled her to him.

"What were you doing?" he asked. "I want answers, now!" Jenna nervously gulped. She couldn't tell Lucas that she had a pet dragon…even though it did come out of his present, and besides, she didn't have to share everything with Lucas, even though he was her best friend.

"I was running around in the forest." Jenna stuttered. The dark haired boy scoffed.

"You want to run around in that dark ugly forest?" Lucas asked, letting a small disbelieving laugh weave in between his words.

"Uh… Yeah, mhm, what is wrong with that?" Jenna asked, raising her eyebrow. Lucas was taken back a bit.

"B…B…"

"Now if you excuse me I am tired. It has been a hard day." Pretending to stretch, she walked past Lucas, leaving him gaping wide eyed at Jenna, his mouth partially tipped open.

What was Jenna hiding from him?

"I swear Gerard, this egg has a spell on it. Nothing can get it to open." Kaden said angrily, pounding his fist against the stone. Gerard was trying his very hardest not to laugh at the majesty's foolishness.

"It may just not like you you know." Gerard piped up. "Some dragons need to hatch to the person they think is right." Kaden snarled.

"Perform some magic on this thing." Kaden hissed. Gerard looked a bit reluctant. "DO IT NOW!" With that, Gerard pointed his second finger at the red egg. He muttered a few words, and a flash of light hit the egg. The only thing it did was rebound back, and it crashed into the stone walls of the castle, making a huge gaping hole in it.

Kaden let out a frustrated yell.

Deep down in the bottom of the castle, a blue beast lay. Her long, majestic long wings were now curled around her pitiful body. Once she was captured by Kaden, her pride as a dragon had been shattered to bits. She never spoke to anyone, and all she could do was mourn all day.

Her neck was chained onto the wall, limiting her movement by a lot, and the conditions under the castle were horrible, no where for anyone to live in. Rats, roaches, and spiders crawled the bottoms of the place, and wet sewer water was all over the place, bringing a nice breeding ground for mosquitoes, so there was mosquito larvae everywhere.

Saphira huddled in a corner, letting out low moans and pitiful cries. Once she was captured by Kaden, it was as if he had ripped her away from her soul, and she was a bad as an empty shell with no life her in dull blue eyes.

Footsteps echoed in the dark empty hallways. Two figures immerged. A tall, composed figure with a long, blue cloak, and a medium sized, rather muscle built man.

"Do it Gerard." the medium sized man whispered. The tall man, Gerard, lifted his finger, and with a few string of words a blast of light erupted from his finger tips, and it blasted onto Saphira. She let out a let out moan, and Gerard smiled. He had the dragon under his mercy

Whispering a new string of words, Saphira was roaring and screaming, the chain on the way moving back and forth, and Saphira was being tortured both ways. The man multiplied the power he had by a lot, and then Saphira was twitching violently from side to side, letting out pitiful cries and heaves to get out a small gasp of air. Pain shown from her piercing blue eyes, torture, the hollow soul that hid behind the frail beast. She was letting out pleads, begging him to stop, and the cry echoed around the room.

Once Gerard was done with his work, Saphira was left there. The ground was covered with a mixture of dirty sewer water and red liquid, seeping out of her left and right sides. Saphira was just left there, to fight for breath, and she was just left there, alone… bleeding in the small hellhole…

Dagger's eyes flew open, panting as if he had just flown many miles. He looked cautiously around. That dream was rather disturbing, and it had shaken the proud dignified beast quite a bit.

Curse Jenna from giving me so much pork chops and beef pork today…Dagger thought, then curled himself into the small ball once more and began to snore himself away…

Jenna flew up out of bed, shaking her head away from the weird dream. These days, the blue dragon kept on appearing in her dreams, and it was all about how she was in pain. She was so sure that this time it wasn't because she was enjoying the abundance of food with Dagger. It might be a sign, a plea for help from someone…

The thought lingered in Jenna's head for a while, but then she let out a small laugh. How Dagger was changing her life these days, making her believe in such nonsensical things. Letting out an uncertain laugh, she shook her head and crawled back into her small bed of hay.

"Eragon what's wrong?" Arya said, bursting into Eragon's room. Eragon was letting out revoltingly loud yells of "SAPHIRA!" and it was so loud that even Arya who slept on the floor below Eragon could hear him.

Eragon was sitting up in bed, letting out short pants of breath. His hair shaded most of his face, casting a dark shadow across his strong figures.

"I can't take it anymore…" Eragon muttered. White foam pour from his mouth, dripping from his slightly open mouth to the silky bedspread

"I can't stand the pain Saphira has been having. The pain, it's unbearable…" Eragon's words sounded so far away, as if he wasn't speaking to anyone in particular. Arya, on the other hand, was getting really scared of Eragon.

"I am going to tell Nasuarada. Tell her to bring the Varden back to order. Even though the Varden scattered once Galbatorix was defeated, it is possible. I must rescue Saphira…" he said hazily, and walked toward the door. Arya grabbed his arm, and pulled him back.

"No Eragon. We must wait for the two chosen ones…" Arya said sternly. She could feel Eragon tense up

"CHOSEN ONES MY ASS!" he shouted angrily. Arya let out a small scream as she saw Eragon's state. The pain Saphira was giving him was driving him mad. "I WON'T WAIT FOR SOME SHITTY CHOSEN ONES ANY LONGER! I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO SOME OLD UGLY MIDWIFE FOR SOME ADVICE. I AM FREAKING GOING TO GO AND RESCUE SAPHIRE MYSELF!" he shouted. Aryan let out a small whimper, and she backed away from the crazed Eragon. Eragon grabbed some shirts, cloaks, and tunics, and lastly, he grabbed Brisingr, and he ran out the door, speeding down the hall way.

Arya crossed two long, agile fingers.

"Please Eragon, do be safe. Don't do anything foolish…" she muttered quietly to herself, looking out the window to see Eragon's thin muscular figure running down the grassy lane…

I hoped what Eragon said cleared up at what time period they were in. Well, I will try my best to update as fast as possible.
