An: Just to let you all know this will be the last full chapter of the story!!! Till I get back from my job every few days there'll be small snippets of what's to come on my profile.
Arya ran so fast that the trees were a blur of greens and browns. Her feet barely touched the forest floor as she rant Eragon and Murtagh. She slowed as she heard the labored breathing of one of them come closer. Soon she came to a complete stop behind a tree that gave her a good vantage point of the clearing.
"What are you?!" Eragon cried at the injured form beneath him.
"I am a changer. I have no form but the one I take on as my own."
Arya's heart skipped a beat as she herd this statement. A changer was not to be messed with. They were dangerous creatures who once took over the form of one thing gained its powers. Arya cringed as she remembered her fight with a changer.
Beginning of flashback—
Arya leaped away from the shade's attack as he sung his sword with deadly accuracy.
"You won't get away from this alive; you know that, don't you?" The shade called to her.
"I know you are a fraud."
"A fraud? Why my, my. You figured me out. I am no shade, but even more deadly." The shade/ thing said as hiss features changed from the grace of a shade to the clumsiness of a Urgal. "You can not win."
"I will."
The once shade no Urgal leapt at her with terrifying speed as he sung his sword with brut force. There was a sickening smash as her connected with her side. Arya, surprised by the attack was off her guard. He once more swung and hit Arya in the legs. Her legs collapsed from beneath her, and the Urgal thing laughed maliciously.
"Who…what are you?!" Arya gasped as pain lanced through her body.
"I am a changer. I am unbeatable. I am stronger than you."
"N…no…your not." Arya gasped as a purple light encased the body of the changer. But when the magic reduced to nothing his/hers body was not there. Arya felt her strength leaving her a quickly sent for help. A few minutes later an attractive young brunette hair male gracefully dismounted his sapphire dragon.
"Arya!" The man called out. "What happened?!"
There was no reply. He carefully healed what injuries he could and then he and his dragon, along with Arya leapt into the sky. When he arrived at the Varden's headquarters they quickly took Arya from him.
"We thank you much Brom." Orik said
"It was nothing."
A few days later…
"Arya!" Brom called out as she neared him. "How are you?"
"I am well enough. Should you not be training?"
"I have practiced enough for now."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah…" Brom sighed as he neared Arya.
"Brom…d…" Arya said but was suddenly cut of by Brom's warm lips on hers. She melted into his arms and then as suddenly as it happened it stopped.
"I shouldn't have done that…" Brom said a hint of regret in his voice. "Your love does not lie in me."
End of flashback—
Arya winced at the painful memory of a young Brom and her first kiss. Suddenly Eragon began to speak,
"What have you done to my brother?!?" Eragon cried in outrage. "What have you done!?"
"I've done nothing."
"You're a liar."
"What makes you say that?" The changer said as Murtagh screamed in agony, writhing at Eragon's feet. "You are not as weak as him. You put up a fight. A fight I haven't had since…"
Suddenly Arya jumped out of the trees in a full blown rage. With her sword raised high, she charged.
"I thought I killed you those many years ago." The changer snarled as he gripped her sword with his hand. Dark Urgal blood dripped from the wound as Arya struggled to get free. "You will NOT escape me this time!"
"I did the last time. What's any different from now?"
"You're older, and weaker."
"Not true. We elves never weaken!"
Arya suddenly broke free and tumbled backwards, down a small hill. With a soft splash Arya was soaked from head to toe.
"Arya!" Eragon called to her. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" She answered back. "Forget me and get rid of that changer!"
Eragon needed no more encouragement and with a yell charged.
"I wouldn't do that." The changer sneered. "If you kill me…You kill him too."
Eragon froze, his sword began to lower and he was defenseless.
"That's a good little boy. Put the sharp toy down."
"I…I… can't kill him…" Eragon said. Suddenly the changer had tied his hands an feet together with unseen twin. "Let…me…out…"
"Tusk, Tusk." The changer said as he began to bind Murtagh's limp hand together. As suddenly as Eragon found himself tied up Arya charged over the hill. The changer grabbed her wrists and to bound her hands and feet. "My leader will be happy."
The changer grabbed their bodies effortlessly and disappeared into the night. Leaving no trace they had been there.
