Thank you for all the positive feedback. Keep sending those reviews.
I was the first to wake up the next morning. I've always liked waking up early. I couldn't tell what time it was because my watch no longer worked but it was still fairly dark out. I guessed it was about four in the morning.
"Well I might as well do some PT." I said to myself. I did my max set of twenty-two pull ups on a nearby tree, 300 sit-ups and 200 push-ups. I wasn't going to even try any running because I figured Chris and I would be doing plenty of that throughout today.
All of a sudden I felt something. That type of feeling you get when you feel someone watching you.
"Who's there?" I said audibly.
"Me." said a rumbling, female voice.
I turned to Saphira sharply to see her looking at me with one large eye still curled up on the ground.
"You startled me. Don't do that again." I said to her.
"Speak with your mind stranger. Let us not wake the others." she said.
"Are you sure? Isn't that a sort of personal thing between you and Eragon?" I asked.
"Yes. But I am giving you permission." she replied.
I tried it. "Can you hear me?" I asked.
"Yes." she replied.
"So what do you want to talk about?" I asked.
"I just wished to tell you something." she said.
"What is it?" I asked.
"If you do anything to hurt Eragon or Brom I will eat you and your friend, alive." she said bluntly.
My expression turned from politely curious to angry.
"Don't ever insult me like that again dragon. It will be the last thing you may ever do. By saying that you have called me a liar. Inadvertently, yes, but you still did it. If we wanted any of you dead, make no mistake, you would be dead. You may be big, strong and fast, but we are the baddest motherfuckers on God's green earth. If something can die, we are the ones who can kill it. So do not try to intimidate me. It cannot be done."
She stared at me for a full minute before saying "I like you. You defy fear. But I shall still be watching you. And I still mean what I said."
"I hope you did. I wish for us to be friends. Not enemies." I replied.
She didn't say anything else. I went over to my gear and got everything ready. A few minutes after I was done everyone else started getting up.
Sorry this chapter is so short. I just wanted to at least get something in. I also want to do a chapter to set a basis of interaction with the main character and Saphira. Keep at it with those reviews and give any suggestions you might have.
