A/N: I'm really sorry for taking so long to update. I had writer's block for a while. But, I finally have a new chapter ready!
Thank you for all of the reviews.
Chapter 5:
It was late at night and Raven was still exploring Teirm.
She, finally, came to a large castle. She had heard from someone that that was where all the business records were kept.
Raven really had no idea why the business records were kept there. But, she knew it had some stupid thing to do with the stupid empire.
She saw the old man and the boy that she had seen earlier. They were accompanied by another man and they were talking to a guard.
Raven heard them say something about the boy forgetting something in an office.
She somehow knew that they were lying.
Raven wanted to know why they were lying. 'Why not just sneak in and find out?' she asked herself. 'No! You're going to regret it! Every time you do something like this it ends up with you in a bad situation! Haven't you heard that curiosity killed the cat!' her conscience (which she thought was long gone, dead, and buried) screamed at her
She ignored all her mental protests and when the guard had his back turned, she ran for it. 'That was way too easy, these guards are really stupid,' she thought.
Raven thought she could her voices in a room that was across a hallway.
As quietly as she could she walked up to the door and heard voices inside. She heard the name, Eragon.
'Eragon, why does that name sound familiar to me? I know I've heard it before,' she thought, frowning.
"Wait, there's someone outside the door," Raven heard one of the men say.
'Oh dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit,' she thought while, frantically looking for a quick escape route.
But, someone grabbed her by the arm and yanked her into the room.
'SEE I TOLD YOU! CURIOSITY KILLS THE CAT!' her conscience screamed at her.
"What are you doing here?' One of the men asked her roughly.
Just as she opened her mouth to answer, she heard guards in the hallway.
When they burst into the room, Raven decided it would be best if she remained as silent as possible, for the moment.
She heard the old man say something about getting lost.
"What about the girl, one of the guards never said anything about there being a girl," a guard said, suspiciously.
"Then either the guard didn't notice her, or forgot about her," the old man said.
"Just get out of here and go back to your home." the guard said.
Then they were escorted by guards out of the castle.
"What were you doing there?' the old man asked Raven.
"I wanted to know why you were lying to the guard, and why you wanted to look at business records," She answered back, figuring they would probably know she was lying.
"There was no harm done, she still doesn't know anything, why don't we just let her go?" the boy asked the old man.
All of the sudden, Raven remembered where she had heard the name Eragon from.
"Eragon," she said turning to look at the boy, "You're the boy who the king is after, the one who is rumored to be a dragon rider."
'That was stupid, Rave, Pure stupidity. Who know what their going to do to you now! Why can't you just keep your mouth shut sometimes?' she asked herself.
Then, she heard the old man curse and say, "So much for her not knowing anything and no harm being done."
Raven knew that she was in a very bad situation now
'I told you so,' her conscience said, smugly.
'Shut up.'
A/N: I'll try to update as soon as possible.
