Chapter One
Rose Parker opened the door slowly and slipped into the classroom quietly. She tiptoed to her seat and sat in it, smiling smugly becasue of thier teacher, Professor Hoggins didn't catch her. "Miss. Parker, I would wipe that smile off your face if I was you. Now, tell me why you're late for the fifth time this week? And don't go blaming it on you dragon." He said while still writing on the chalkboard. "I was..." Rose thought hard. "Doesn't matter. Answer this question, who killed Durza the shade?" He asked, spinning around and looking at Rose. "Um, some one that didn't like him?" Rose asnwered. The class laughed, expect for the teacher's pet, Lucy Dinwill. She rose her head. "Yes, Miss Dinwill?" "The dragon rider Eragon and with the help of his dragon, Saphria." Lucy told him. Rose stuck out her tougune at Lucy's head. "Miss Parker, I don't think that is nessacary. Anyway, these names will become very close to you for you have a five thousand word essay on them." Professor Hoggins told her. "Five thousand words! What do I care about an old dead guy with a deceased old dragon?" Rose complained. "Do you want me to make it ten thousand, Miss Parker?" Hoggins warned. Rose shook her head.
Finally the bell rang and Rose walked out of the school, carrying her dragon rider history book. A large dark green dragon landed beside her and walked by her side. "Shut up, Taz." She warned her dragon. (His real name is Tazrin. Taz for short.) You better have not blamed it on me again. I get tired when you do that. Taz told her, ignoring what she said. Don't worry, I didn't blame it on you. I didn't get a chance to blame it on anything. Oh, and guess what! I have to do a five thousand word essay on that stupid dragon rider named Eragon with a dragon named Saphria. I hate them. I hate Professor Hoggins. Rose complained loudly. Taz growled softly. Something doesn't seem right. He told her. Rose looked around and gasped. The landscape had changed. It was all dark underneath them. Then they started falling. Rose grabbed Taz's spikes. They were spinning and falling at an incredible speed. Suddenly, Rose's grip loosened and Rose and Taz got thrown apart. Rose was headed for a bright light. She didn't see where Tazrin went.
XxXx
Cool air hit Rose instantly, giving her goosebumps. She was falling down fast. She opened her eyes and gasped. She was high in the air and land was so small. She could barely she the trees. They looked like little ants. Her eyes started watering. She screamed and closed her eyes. She was dead. Taz was gone and she was going to die. Well, look at the bright side, at least I won't have to do that stupid essay. She told herself. She screamed as the trees started to get taller and more recongizable.
Suddenly, something grabbed her around the stomach and stopped her. She felt like she was going to be sick. She felt hard scales and smiled. Taz got her. "Well, it's about..." She started, turning to see her faithful green dragon when she stopped. A giant blue dragon was holding her, going for the ground. The dragon eyed her. She gasped and looked back at the ground. It was coming closer. Soon, the dragon's claws dropped her and the dragon landed with a thud on the ground behind her. "Oh that's gonna bruise." Rose told herself, wincing at her throbbing stomach. She got up and turned. A man, probably seventeen or something, was patting the blue dragon affectionely. He turned to her. He was handsome. Messy brown hair, brown eyes, tan skin, muscles. Don't drool. Don't drool. Don't act like a complete idiot. Rose told herself. "Hi." She said. "Hello." The man said back. "Pretty dragon." Rose said. Then she wanted to smack herself. Pretty dragon? Oh yeah, he's really gonna like you now. Rose chided herself. "Thanks. Your not scared of her?" He asked. He sounded surprised. ROSE! Are you there? Where are you? Are you okay? Taz yelled suddenly. Yeah, yeah, I'm okay. She answered. Where are you? He contiued. How in the heck am I suppose to know? She said. Your so useless. I'll find you on my own. He said. Rose turned back to the man. "So, do you?" He asked. Rose gave him a confused look. Way to go, Taz. This hot guy asked me something and I missed it becasue I was talking to you. She told him. "I asked if you live around here?" He repeated. "Oh, I think so." Rose said. Her city shouldn't be that far. I mean, they didn't go anywhere, right? "So, why aren't you afraid of my dragon?" He asked.
Rose opened her mouth to answer when a loud thud could be heard. Ow. Taz called out. Suddenly, he landed behind Rose. "Your such a loser." Rose told Taz. You have no room to talk, missy. He shot back, standing up. "Sit down." She said, turning back to the man. He was staring at Taz then her. "Your a dragon rider?" He asked. "Yeah." She told him. "Why didn't you tell me?" He said. "You didn't ask, duh." The man looked at her. "I'm Eragon and this is my dragon Saphria." The man told her. Rose stared. "You sound familiar." She started, pointing at him. He's the dragon rider that killed Durza. Taz answered for her. If you knew the answer, then why didn't you tell me? Rose demanded. That, my little pumpkinhead, would be cheating. Taz said, messing up Rose's reddish orange hair. "Oh my god. If he's that dragon rider. And she's that dragon. Are we in the past?" Rose asked aloud. I think so, Rose, I think so. Taz said softly. "No!" Rose cried. I know I know. You will miss your family and friends but if we got here we can certainly get back home. Taz said. What? I don't care about missing my mom or dad or my friends. This means... no electritly! Rose said. Taz rolled his eyes. "Um, Eragon, we got a problem." Rose spoke up. Don't tell him! Let's just go with him and figure out what we can. We aren't really suppose to mess with the past, Rose. Taz whispered. "Never mind. I'm Rose and this is my dragon Tazrin." She quickly said. "Are you with the Varden or the Empire?" He asked. "Whose the Varden and whose the Empire?" Rose asked. You dummy! Don't you ever listen in Dragon History? I don't know how to explain it. He is on the Varden. The Empire is ruled by King Galbatorix. Taz said. Whose Galbatorix? Rose asked. An evil dragon rider who wants to kill people. Especially Eragon. Taz sighed. "I'm not in either one." She told Eragon. He nodded and opened his mouth in reply when a footsteps were heard. And a bad smell. "Urgals!" Eragon yelled. He climbed onto Saphria's back and turned to Rose. "What are Urgals?" She asked him. "Get on your dragon and fly quickly. Follow us. I'll contact you up in the air." He said. Saphria leapt into the sky. Rose scrambled onto her dragon and they flew up.
Urgals, a voice started. Rose eyes widened and started to attack the thing in her head. Stop it's me! Eragon! Rose stopped. What are you doing in my head? Rose asked him. I told you I was going to tell you what Urgals are. Urgals are vile creatures that will kill you or me. Or even Saphria or Tazrin if they have the chance. You don't know much. Stick with me and I will teach you stuff. Can you do magic? Eragon asked. Yeah! I don't sleep in that class! Rose said. That's surprising. Taz murmured. Class? Eragon asked. I mean lesson. Silly me. Rose said. Rose didn't talk to him after that. She watched the landscape and sometimes talked to Taz but not that much. They flew on like this for a couple hours. Rose, how is your dragon? Is he tired? Eragon suddenly asked her. He says he's find but my butt hurts from sitting here. I need to move around. Rose said. Okay, will be riding like this for days so you better get use to it. Eragon told her. He seemed uncomfortable. Rose smacked her face. Now he will never like me. Rose thought. Taz laughed. I don't think you even have a chance with him. And if you do, don't. We aren't suppose to mingle with the past! He's probably going to fall in love with someone else. And its not you. Taz snapped. Rose rolled her eyes. He was always so worried. Soon, Saphria started flying towards the ground. Tazrin followed. They ate in silence then went to bed. Rose curled up to Tazrin and before she knew it, she was asleep.
I hope this doesn't seem to rushed. I just want to get to the good parts. Please Read and Review.
