Wowser!!! 27 reviews yey!!!!! I signed on and started jumping around clapping my hands, my mum thought I went mad and switched off the computer : D

My biology test was sooo easy but I have philosophy on Monday, so wish me luck!!! I'll update as soon as I can but I'm back to school on Tuesday for another 2 weeks so I will try and write but it won't be as soon.

Guys , I would tell you that I'm not planning to kill anybody but I won't cause I'm still throwing some ideas around! All I will say is that it won't happen in this chapter!

Chapter stuff

I'm really annoyed with myself because I, like the rest of you, want to get down to the juicy Arya/ Eragon stuff but I can't just have Arya jump up and recover straight away! So I officially hate this chapter because it is stupid and causes baaaaad writers block. Also I have decided that Arya will have held something back during her torture at Gil'ead which is where her flashbacks are now starting from. The spell thing is basically it takes your most painful memories and replays them over and over again until you lose your mind completely or die, but because Murtagh slowed down the spell when Arya escaped her memories got more painful over time,she had started with painful ones that she had accepted and they gradually increased in how painful they were, which I think might actually be worse. The spell drives you insane but fear not!!! There will be a loser in tin foil standing by!!!! ( read my profile it makes sense!)

Disclaimer: I am high on sugar so everything is mine!!!! Sadly everyone knows I am delusional and that this is not true *sob*

So on with the story! Sorry for rambling!!!!

…………………….

Eragon

I burst through the wooden door that separated me from Arya, I had spent the entire day arguing with the elves and my patience had run out. Worst of all was that Blodhgarm would let me see her straight away but he was still unconscious from fighting the spell caster and his replacement refused to let me past. Well not worse of all, the worst thing about this whole mess was that Arya was hurt in the first place.

"Shadeslayer, you cannot go in!" I scowled to myself, what a coincidence. I ignored her and tried, unsuccessfully, to push past the elves that were standing at either side of the door.

"Shadeslayer!"

I wheeled around only to come face to face with Alissa. She looked panicked and her expression was almost human she looked slightly fearful at my expression but continued regardless;

"Shadeslayer, I'm sorry but you cannot go in. Only a few of us have been allowed in to treat her and I was specifically told not to let you in."

"You were assigned to me, surely my orders counter any others?!"

I felt Saphira brush against my mind, trying to calm me, I ignored her as I waited for Alissa's response. To my surprise she looked down, refusing to meet my eyes.

"Yes, Shadeslayer, all but one."

I stared at her blankly for a moment while she slowly raised her head with apologies in her eyes. I felt rage boil up inside me as I realized the meaning behind her words, seeing that I had understood she walked back over to the tent and took her original position next to the door. Moving slowly I walked stiffly over to Saphira who was looking at me with concerned eyes, I walked slowly brushing my hand across her sapphire scales before jumping onto her back. She quickly jumped off the ground and flew away to a secluded spot where I could release my anger freely.

……..

Arya

It was dark and I was weak. I had no idea how long I had been here everything had stayed exactly the same; the blood pooling from my arm, the absence of my magic, the light that filtered through my window. I was no longer sure if it was moonlight, surely it would have changed by now? I snapped my eyes open as footsteps sounded outside my door, they were…..strange, not human but not light enough to be an elf. I stared confused at the door while I waited for it to open. I knew it was absurd to want to know who was behind the door because I knew that the only reason I was still alive was that I had important information, Information about the elves, the egg, the varden. Horror ripped through me as I realized how much I could expose, how much I could destroy. I gritted my teeth together, protecting my mind fiercely as the door swung open. I was unable to contain my gasp of shock and fear as I saw who was standing in the entrance.

..

Eragon

Saphira landed heavily throwing me forward and causing me to roll of her back. I jumped up and began pacing angrily ignoring Saphira's attempts to calm me.

Eragon

I growled at her before resuming my destruction of the ground below my feet.

Eragon!

I stopped at turned round to face her

"What!"

Stop walking away from me! You are over-reacting, I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding!

"How is it a misunderstanding? Queen Izlanzadi ordered the elves to stop me from seeing Arya! How is that a mistake?"

You are still over-reacting! The Queen would not do this unless there was a good reason to.

"I am not over-reacting! This is how people feel when they are in love and the person they love gets hurt! I don't expect you to understand!"

I felt the hurt echo across our link before she blocked herself from me and I immediately regretted the words I had just spat at her.

"Saphira"

She ignored me cleaning her scales and giving her an excuse to look away.

"Saphira, I am truly sorry. I didn't mean anything that I said, I was just……."

Upset

I nodded quickly, "but that does not excuse my behavior, nothing could ever excuse me causing you pain."

She turned to look at me, the pain still apparent from my position kneeling on the dirt. She pushed against me gently with her head and I smiled as I felt our link re-establish.

"I love you"

And I you, little one.

I sighed leaning against her warm body, we sat and watched the sun dip lower in the sky it was almost sunset before Saphira spoke again.

Eragon, I know what the Queen did was wrong but she did what she thought was right and we have to respect that.

I nodded my head reluctantly. "That doesn't mean I have to like it."

No, it doesn't.

She stood up and waited for me to climb on her back. It was late and the Varden would wonder where we were. I lay forward and scratched her head as she lifted her wings and headed back to the Feinster.

Arya

Tears flowed freely as he left, I had never imagined such pain but I had not broken, everything I knew was still locked safe in my mind. I raised my hand to wipe the water from my face ignoring the protest of my muscles. Pain racked through my body as I tried to sit up only to end up slumped on the floor. I twisted my body gently until I was lying on my side, the pain eased a little and I drifted off into an uneasy sleep.

……

I woke up suddenly fearing the pressure that was enclosing my mind. Someone was trying to break through! I closed my eyes, straining to block them as I felt my strength leaving me slowly, the pressure remained constant, almost as if they didn't want to hurt me, as if they were just looking. I concentrated harder and the pressure decreased before finally disappearing. I smiled and collapsed a moment later, dissolving into unconsciousness.

Eragon

Do you want me to burn them?

I snorted, "you could try but I don't think it would help"

Why not?

"They would just go on about how wondrously red the flames are"

Saphira laughed causing the elves glaring at us to stare uneasily at her.

Well it is a wonderful colour

I rolled my eyes. "It contrasts with your scales beautifully"

This time she snorted causing a jet of flame to shoot towards the elves.

Oops, sorry She broadcasted her voice to the surrounding elves while I laughed silently at their shocked expressions.

Alissa stepped forward, "No matter Bjartskullar, It is heartening to see such vibrancy in the middle of a war"

Saphira nodded confused when she saw me doubled over laughing.

Eragon?

I gasped a few times before regaining my composure. "Yes Saphira?"

Whats so funny?

I chuckled again before answering, "I believe Alissa was referring to the colour of your flames."

Saphira stared at me a moment as if questioning my sanity.

I don't think it was that funny Eragon

I ignored her and stared incredulously as Blodhgarm walked out of the house that Arya was in. He spotted Alissa and ran towards her, conversing quickly she glanced over at me before Blodhgarm ran back in the house. As soon as he left Alissa called me over.

"Why didn't you tell me Blodhgarm was awake?"

"He woke up while you were away and we didn't want to disturb you"

"What did he want? How is Arya?"

"He has been trying to enter her mind, she has shut herself off to everyone but Blodhgarm managed to enter her mind for a moment."

She hesitated unsure of what to tell me, Saphira growled beside me displaying my impatience. Alissa took a deep breath and stared straight into my eyes.

"She thinks she's still in Gil'aed."

Saphira hissed quietly as Alissa walked away. She thought she was still in Gil'ead? Was there a spell on the egg? Rage poured through me, she was only meters away from me, being tortured and I could do nothing to help her.

"Saphira what do we do?"

I don't know

The pain in Saphira's voice echoed mine. She felt as deeply as I did about Arya and this was hurting her too.

"It must have happened when she stole the egg, but we can't enter her mind to find out what exactly is wrong!" Despair overwhelmed me, would I lose Arya? Pain shattered my bones as Saphira spoke.

Perhaps we should hatch the egg.

I glared at her, "How will that help Arya!"

The spell was a protection for the egg if we hatch the egg then there will be nothing to protect and the spell might lift.

Hope slowly diffused into my body pushing the despair back and clearing my mind.

"The egg is in Nasuadas room!'

I sent Saphira all the gratitude I was feeling knowing that it would convey my feelings better than anything I could ever say. I leaped onto her back as she unfolded her wings.

That's when the screaming started.

……………….

Sorry it's short again but my eyes hurt!!

Rainbow Six: lol, now I feel like an idiot!!! That makes sense though, thanks!!!

Shadowleaf: The eyes have been changed. Well I changed them, I don't know if it worked ;)

Chainmail: Thanks! I tried to make this better, has it worked?

She who must not be named: Thanks for the name I like both of them but I think Fer'nr is the better one 

Elvarya: Your comments always leave me with a stupid grin plastered on my face!!!

Thanks so much to everyone that reviewed!!! I will try and add more A/E in but I am stuck until this all gets resolved, hopefully it will happen soon. I can promise that they will get together and it will be fairly recently after she recovers because they LOVE each other and it drives me crazy that they are not together!

Stupid pointless chapter!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeez!

Why can't they just accept that?

I am calm, I am with friends

As always read, review, inspire.

Ciao x
