CHAPTER SEVEN: VISIONS...NIGHTMARES...OR BOTH
Essora was locked in a room unable to get out. She felt trapped and scared like prey before it is killed. She heard a chuckle from behind her. She spun around to see a tall man with long crimson hair and piercing red eyes. He held a knife in one hand and grabbed her left hand in the other then he pressed the knife into her hand.
Essora sat bolt upright. It was very dark out and she could barely make out the form of Saphira. She laid back down not wanting to wake any one and fell asleep again.
She was in the same room as before the man was there but he held no weapon in his hand. Instead he was caressing her face with ice cold hands. She felt helpless, lost, and something was inside her battling with her spirit. It was the spirit of the man before her. Tears began to flow freely as pain siezed her. Not physical pain but mental as he gave her vision after vision of things to come and would be for her in his grasp.
This time when Essora woke Eragon was holding her face steady with both hands worry in his deep brown eyes. She was intranced. "Essora its okay it was only a nightmare. I'm here," he said helping her sit up.
Small one are you alright? You were shaking vilontly and you were crying. I could feel your pain from your dreams.
I'm alright. Morning Vrael how are you?
Your dissmisive when it comes to unwanted topics. I'm fine now that you are.
Good. "Eragon I'm sorry if I scared you. Where's Brom?" she asked noticing the old man wasn't there.
"Getting water," he said coming out of the trees.
"Brom what kind of creature had crimson hair with red eyes?" she asked knowing that the man she had seen was not normal.
Brom looked at her curious but answered. "A creature like that is a Shade. A Shade is a male spirit that takes posession of a sorceer that has summoned them and they overpower them. A Xeo-Shade is a female spirit that take posession of a sorceeress that has summoned them and they over power them and are enemies with the Shade's."
"Oh thats something I didn't know."
"I know I never thought to tell you about them but seeming you wanted to know I told you. And a word of advise you don't want to run into a Shade," he said sholdiering his pack and leaving the other two to do the same and follow while Saphira and Vrael set off to find a hiding place.
