Last chapter
"OK. Wait a sec what about the Ra-" she jumped back and screamed when she saw the bodies of the two Ra'zac. "How did you kill them? I watched them when they came to Carvahall they moved so quickly. How was it possible?"
I didn't do anything. He" Roran said pointing at Eragon. "killed them single handed"
Katrina stared at Eragon as if he had three eyes. Where had he learned to fight? Why could he do magic. "I'm hot going anywhere until you tell me exactly what is going on."
"Oh well. Shall I call Saphira? She will make things a lot easier to explain." Asked Eragon
"OK. Katrina what you see may shock you a bit."
"You can come out now."
"Thank you it is annoying just hovering here"
Suddenly a giant sapphire blue dragon emerged and landed in front of them.
Ch.3 Chapter 2
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh" Katrina screamed the minute she saw Saphira and turned to run back into the prison only to run into the tall figure of Roran. He did not seem at all distressed.
"But … what … huh" Katrina began to babble.
"Shh calm down" Roran cooed "Its ok. This is Saphira"
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON! THERE IS A DRAGON AND YOU ARE NOT RUNNING. WHAT DID I MISS?" Katrina yelled now red in the face.
Saphira chuckled and Eragon began rolling around on the floor because he was laughing so hard.
"This is my – he he – dragon" Eragon managed to say before he burst out laughing again. The look on Katrina's face was priceless. Eragon tried to stop laughing again but failed miserably and continued rolling around.
Katrina walked up beside him and was about top kick him in the side when he jumped to his feet and dodged the attack with inhuman speed.
"How did you. Oh my." Katrina fainted it was all too much for her to bear. Plus lack of food probably didn't help. Eragon caught her almost as soon as she started to fall and lowered her to the ground.
"That was funny." Saphira giggled
"I know. I'd better get some food and water for when she wakes up"
"Good idea. Remember little one this is going to take a lot of explaining."
"I know"
Eragon went to the packs attached to Saphira's saddle and got some food for Katrina, Roran and himself. He took the food over to where Roran sat leaning over a limp Katrina.
"I got some food" Eragon said handing some stew over to Roran with a chunk of bread.
"Thanks Katrina is not the only on who is hungry."
"Tell me about it." Stated Eragon as he tore at a piece of bread. "Do you think we should put her on Saphira and head back? It's a few days to get back to Surda."
"No. it would terrify her to wake up flying on a dragon. She has enough questions already without 'why did you take me without explaining what the hell is going on'."
"Good point. She might start screaming and fall off."
"Hey Eragon she's moving"
"Good the sooner she wakes up the sooner we can leave. When we get back I will probably have to go strait to Farthen Dǔr with Arya"
"I'll go see if she in awake. She might get a bit of a fright."
"A bit. That's the understatement of the year"
"Whatever" said Roran getting up.

Katrina woke expecting to be alone in her cell but instead she saw two people sitting near her eating. One of them said something she couldn't hear properly 'I guess my senses are a bit foggy' and the other got up and walked over to her. It was Roran. And then in a flash everything came back to her. Roran coming, Eragon looking different and being able to do magic and the dragon. Katrina's face paled as she sat up. She looked around for the dragon and froze. Eragon was sitting there leaning against the dragon as if it was perfectly normal. And Roran didn't seem to care either.
"Are you ok" Roran asked laying a hand on her shoulder?
"I'm a bit hungry. But first" she said in a sickly sweet voice, "will somebody please tell me WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?"
Eragon stood up, "I guess I'll go first because Saphira might be a bit of a shock."
"A bit of a shock."
Eragon continued as if she hadn't spoken "I will tell you everything that has happened since I left Carvahall and why I left in the first place."
"Good finally some answers" she murmured.
Eragon began his story when he found Saphira's egg. He told her of how Garrow died letting one stray tear fall down his cheek. He told of his travels to the Beors including finding Arya and Brom being a rider and Katrina gasped, she never would have guessed old Brom the story teller a rider. He told of Brom's death and how he had died saving his life. As he did so his eyes watered and a lump appeared in his throat. He trembled as he told of Murtagh and how he had saved his life. How he had concealed his heritage until he had reached the Varden. Katrina was shocked to find out he was the son of Morzan. He told of his stay with the Varden. The tragic tale of the war against the Varden and how he killed the shade but had played dearly. Yet again Katrina gasped as she heard of the scar that had almost claimed his life. He let a tear roll down his cheek as Murtagh and the twins 'capture' came into the story. He told of Ajihads death and Nasuada becoming his liege lord. He told of his trip to Ellesmera and his training (leaving out Oromis, Glaedr and the bits with Arya. He described how the Blood Oath Ceremony had given him the power of there more accomplished elves and taken away every scar on his body including the one that he had gotten from the Shade and had caused him so much pain. He told of the great battle against the Empire. His fight against the mysterious rider. A rider with powers beyond the elves. He shivered and began to cry when he told that the mysterious rider was Murtagh. His friend. He told how he was his brother and how he had taken Zor'roc. He also told of Roran bravery and how he had killed the twins and stopped them from causing too much damage. He ended the story with them getting to Helgrind killing the Ra'zac and finding her.
"Wow" Katrina searched his eyes as if trying to work out if it was the truth. She new it was. It explained everything. But when he talked of Arya she noticed something else.
After a few second Katrina found her voice. "You like her don't you"
"Who" he said trying to act surprised. He new where this was heading.
"Don't play dumb it is obvious you like Arya."
"I do not" Eragon said defensively he shouldn't have let his emotions slip.
"I new it. You do."
"I do not!"
"Sure you don't"
Eragon glared at Katrina.
"Now Eragon you are not allowed to kill my fiancée" Roran said trying not to laugh. He had thought Eragon liked Arya but he had not been sure.
Eragon glared at the two the finally said. "Roran, it is your turn to tell your half of the story from when she was taken."
"Roran told of his travels to Surda. He explained how he had convinced almost all of Carvahall to come with him on his travels through the Spine. How they had stolen the Dragon wing. He told of meeting Joed in Tierm and finding out about Eragon being a rider. He told how Joed had helped him steal the ship. His trip down the Jiet River and seeing Eragon for the first time since he had left Carvahall. How he had been atop his dragon both had been stained with blood from the raging war. He had seen how strong he was he knew this was a new Eragon. He was a man no longer the boy he had grown up with. He told of how he had snuck up behind the twins and killed them. And ended is story with asking Eragon for help to rescue her.
"It is amazing. You have been through more than I have possibly imagined. What you have been through in such a little amount of time."
"Now that we hade told our stories tell us what has happened to you while you have been in this place." Asked Roran. "And what happed to Sloan"
Katrina began to sob. "The Ra'zac told me he had betrayed all of Carvahall and then … when I couldn't give then the answers they wanted the killed him in front of me telling me not to keep secrets. Then they tortured me, but when I didn't tell me anything they gave up and kept me as bait. But it didn't help because you 2 slaughtered them."
Katrina broke down and sobbed into Roran's arms.
"it is ok. Do not worry"
Katrina's head shot up. "Who said that?"
"That would be me"
"You can talk." Katrina's eyes widened.
"Yes I can I talk telepathically. What, did you think I was just some dumb animal?"
Katrina blushed and Eragon who had been listening to the conversation giggled.
Katrina regained her composure and brushed off her tunic "Can I have some food? They only fed me every 3 days"
"Yes you can. Only every three days. How did you cope?"
"I don't know. I guess I just did."
Roran brought her some food and they sat down talking about old times. For the moment they were safe and could just sit. They didn't know when they would get that opportunity again.
