Chapter 9 – No Way!
Eragon sat alone, on the stump that his behind knew so well, from sitting on it every day. A crack of thunder filled the air. In the center of the clearing, a lone wolf-pup with huge periwinkle eyes stared at him. As another crack of thunder filled the air, the small creature howled and ran towards Eragon, burying its head in his arms.
"Oww!" Eragon complained, as something knocked against him arm. His 'oww!' was drowned out by another crack of thunder, and as lightning illuminated the tent for a brief moment, he saw…
"Kiatra?" Eragon asked.
"I hate thunder!" she wailed, cowering as the ringing crash filled the tent.
"Its okay, its only thunder!" Eragon shouted over the noise.
Kiatra whimpered, as Eragon tried to pry her off.
"Don't leave me!" Her periwinkle eyes were huge, and tears glistened in the corner of her eyes. The thunderstorm seemed to take away her haughty personality, leaving nothing but a scared little kid.
"Don't worry, I won't." Eragon said, stroking her long black hair as she shivered and cowered again at the next round of thunder.
Oh boy. He said to Saphira. Its gonna be a LONG night…
Saphira snorted.
The next morning was bright and clear. The only thing that showed the storm was here were giant puddles on the ground.
Eragon opened his eyes slowly. Though the air was sharp and crisp, he was warm. Looking to his right, he felt a tremor of shock go down his spine.
Kiatra lay right up next to him, her breathing even and regular. As he tried to pry himself free, she muttered something in her sleep and grabbed his arm, forcing him down.
Saphira! He called; terrified he might wake her up. Saphira snaked her head into the tent, and made the odd noise that was her laugh.
As he tried to tell her to shush, Kiatra opened her eyes, staring at him for a second with a shocked glance. Her gaze turned angry, then-
WHAM.
She slapped him in the face and scrambled back. He scrambled back as well, holding his hand to his injured cheek.
"YOU PERV!" she yelled at him, her crimson face contrasting the soft periwinkle eyes.
"YOU slept with ME! Remember!" Eragon yelled back, still holding his cheek.
"I DIDN"T MEAN TO!" Kiatra bellowed back, her fists clenched by her sides.
"WELL, WHAT DID YOU SLAP ME FOR?"
Kiatra paused. Her fists unclenched and the angry tint from her cheeks left.
"I'm sorry." she said softly. "I got a little bit out of control."
Eragon sighed in relief.
"Well, let's go have breakfast." he said, turning away as she changed back into the periwinkle dress.
"Oh wow! Look Eragon!"
He turned around. Obviously someone had redone the dress. The holes were fixed, and some pretty but practical ribbons were sewn on around the sleeves and around the waistline.
Oh no. They saw her sleeping in my bed!
It's very pretty, Kiatra. Saphira said, awed. Eragon translated her words.
"Thank you Saphira." Kiatra smiled at the blue dragon.
"You turn around, now." Kiatra nodded and turned away as he pulled on pants and a shirt, buckling belt around his waist to hold up his current sword.
"Ready?"
"Yes." As they reached the exit, Kiatra did something even Saphira did not expect.
Kiatra turned around and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you for helping me." she said softly, before turning and sweeping out of the tent.
