Eliena woke up to the sight of something very shiny and very blue. Then as her mind cleared more she gasped to herself at what she saw, a dragon. It was a little smaller than Emerlden but it was still a dragon. Eliena kept her eyes in slits and didn't move. She didn't know where she was and its best to find out first before telling the enemy you've woken up.
Oh no! Emerlden, thought Eliena. He must be so worried.
Are you alright?
It took a while but back came a reply.
Finally you woke up. I was getting worried. I was about to come down any minute but I knew what you wanted, for me to stay hid. Still I was very worried. Thank goodness you're alright. Are you alright? Did they hurt you? Because if they hurt you, they will be burned to a crisp.
Calm down, Emerlden. I'm fine. Where are you?
I'm right on top of you. But don't look up, I'm too high to see anyways. Plus that boy and his dragon are looking at you. I don't like this. I'm going down to rescue you.
WAIT! No! Don't Emerlden. Trust me, I'm fine. And do you know who those people are? They must be Eragon and Saphira. Can you believe it? We are meeting the first riders. I can escape by myself. Okay?
It took a while for a reply to come, probably because Emerlden was pondering what to do. Finally the reply came.
Fine, came the exasperated reply. But I'm coming down at any sign of harm. I don't care who they are, they are not harming you.
Fine, but not now. Where am I?
You are in the desert. They have set up camp. Our stuff is in your hand's reach. So you can take it now and run and then I'll pick you up when we are far away enough. Agree?
After pondering for a while, Eliena had to agree that that was the best plan. She will have time to meet the famous dragon rider later. Now she had to make her escape before they found out anything about her or Emerlden. She knew that they worked for the Varden and probably wanted her to work with them too. She will do no such thing. She will never participate in this war that is about to break lose. She can sense it. She cannot participate in this war and if Eragon and his dragon knew that she was also a rider, she will be forced to join them, and if she disagrees, she will definitely be hunted, just like the emperor is hunting her. Eliena likes her secrets and she liked them kept secret, especially from the prying nose of a rider who must have some sort of magic.
Sure
Okay, I'm flying over you so don't worry. I'll come down if they show any signs of attack. I don't want to loose you, little one.
Eliena was touched by this and said she didn't want to lose him either.
Okay, then on three, one two three.
When Emerlden reached three, Eliena sprang up. With her bag already in hand, she didn't notice anybody around her. She ran straight out of the campsite, ignoring the dragon and the elves. She ran as fast as her legs could carry her and ran through the dunes. Eliena hurried through the sand, aware of the voices and footsteps behind her. Soon, she was out of the camp's site and then she heard the swooping of wings. Glad that Emerlden came, she stopped running and slowed to an easy walk, still holding the bag.
"What took you so long?" she asked without looking.
"What do you mean?" asked another voice.
WHAT! Where was Emerlden? Where is he? Who is this? When Eliena turned her head, she found something a sapphire blue instead of an emerald green. Eliena silently groaned to herself.
The dragon rider swooped down and grabbed hold of her arm, making sure that she couldn't escape this time. Eliena looked at the majestic dragon next to her and the young man. So this was Eragon. He didn't look like much to Eliena. Sure he was strong and he had muscles but he still looked more like a boy than a man.
The elves were also riding their horses and already caught up to Eragon and Eliena. Eragon held Eliena while he was still on the dragon. So anytime he wanted, he could fly up and drop her.
Eliena stood bravely to the twelve soldiers and the woman who came riding on beautiful white horses. She held her head high, not showing any fear.
Where are you? asked Eliena as fear started to grow inside of her, although none of it was showing on her face. She will not let these people think of her as a coward.
I'm coming down right now! I'm saving you!
Wait, no!
But it was too late. A swirling flame of fire circled down upon the elves and the dragon along with her rider. The fire didn't hurt anybody, only blinded them for a moment. Eliena shielded her eyes from the blazing flame but she felt herself being picked up by sharp talons. When she opened her eyes, she was soaring in the sky, looking down on a fire that had already started to stop. Still in her hands was the sack that had caused all this trouble. Soon they were so high up that Eliena couldn't see anything more than black dots.
Can we go down now, I'm freezing.
I just have to make sure they don't follow us. NEVER EVER DO THAT AGAIN ELIENA! Do you hear me? You are to never do that ever again. You put yourself in danger for a few measly things. Emerlden sounded more angry than Eliena ever heard him but she did not blame him. She was the one who intended to steal and she got caught. Never has she been caught stealing before.
I'm sorry Emerlden. It's just that I got caught stealing and then that rider hit me on the head.
Still, no excuses. Prepare yourself, I'm landing.
Soon they were safely on the ground. Emerlden was flaming mad. She hugged him tight and they embraced each other, girl and dragon, for about five minutes. Then without a word, Eliena placed the things in the pack onto the dragon's saddlebags and took out an extra jacket she had stolen before. She quickly climbed back onto his shoulders and soon, they were off into the night sky once again.
