Recap

Apartment? What's that?

A mini house. Anyway, she couldn't lean on anybody for help. She had kept everything bottled inside of her. Until now.

Didn't she cry to you?

Not really. I guess it is because we talk mind to mind. I guess it doesn't let her 'unbottle' her feelings. Answered Kahiro thoughtfully.

What job did she do to get her off the streets?

Kahiro turned her head and looked Murtagh in the eye with her large golden one, Assassination.

"Assassination?" cried out Murtagh loudly. Danielle shifted in his arms.

Shh… Not too loud. Don't wake her. Said Kahiro glaring at him.

Sorry… he mumbled. But, assassination? Kahiro lay onto the ground.

The missions was easy for her. But after they asked her to kill someone she knew and loved. She quit. How do you think she suddenly was so good at fighting?

Oh… She must have had a really hard life then… Murtagh then looked at the beauty that lay in his arm. Why are you telling me this? He asked. He was kind of curious why suddenly, everybody started to trust him more.

If Danielle trusts you. I should too. Just don't hurt her. Or else. Kahiro growled and showed her sharp fangs to emphasized her point, before walking back to camp. Leaving a sleeping Danielle and a troubled Murtagh.

After a while, Murtagh stood up and carried Danielle bridle style (I think that's what it's called) back to camp. Eragon and Saphira were already fast asleep. Kahiro, however was staring at them with a lazy eye opened. Murtagh sigh and lay Danielle softly next to Kahiro. She shivered at the lost of warmth, but quickly snuggled close to Kahiro. Murtagh went over her side of the camp and lay down. Trying to ignore the coldness of the night. Kahiro looked at him lazily.

Are you cold? She asked him.

Not really… Kahiro stared and blinked at him at him, Fine, yes, I am.

Kahiro shifted, careful not to wake up Danielle and created more space. You can sleep here. She said, signaling to the empty space next to Danielle. Don't take this too kindly, but the least I can do is to at least keep Danielle's new friend warm…

Murtagh smirked at her. Riiight… he said. Kahiro snorted.

Just get your ass over here. She said before snapping her eyes shut. Murtagh stared at her for a few second before standing up and leaning onto Kahiro.

"Good-night. Kahiro." Murtagh mumbled.

Goodnight little one. (I am sooo sorry for the OCCness, I kinda got lost at the moment… I'll try to make it more real!)

Danielle woke up and yawned. She shifted and snuggled closer to Murtagh, his arm around her waist. Wait, Murtagh! Her eyes widened and the events that happened the day before rushed through her.

"Impressive dragon and a beautiful rider." mumbled a voice behind her. Danielle blushed. It took a while too realize that it was Murtagh sleep talking.

So your awake little one? Danielle shifted slightly, trying not to awake Murtagh.

Yes. She replied. And you mind telling me what on earth is Murtagh doing next to me? Said Danielle with a glare. She know that it was something to do with Kahiro. She could feel the guilty pleasure in Kahiro's voice.

What makes you think I did anything? Kahiro said, blinking innocently. Danielle groaned. She shifted slightly again, trying to stand up without waking Murtagh up. Danielle's arm slipped and elbowed Murtagh ribs.

Oops… Danielle thought and Murtagh awoke with a loud groan. He looked around, only to see Danielle in an uncomfortable position. He blushed and removed his arm from her waist and quickly stood up.

"I'm so sorry for waking you." Danielle said. Looking down so that Murtagh wouldn't see her face turn red.

"It's," Murtagh coughed with embarrassment. "It's okay." And he scratched the back of his head. Kahiro was standing behind both of them. Listening to their conversation with amusement.

I am so going to get you back for that… Danielle grumbled at Kahiro. Kahiro just gave her a you-know-you-want-to-thank-me-for-that look. Danielle growled. Since when did you become Mrs. Matchmaker? Anyway, can you contact him again? Because I can't somehow…

After a few minutes of silence. Me neither. It seems like a heavy guarded fortress. I don't know how I managed to go it yesterday. said Kahiro.

Never mind then. Danielle turned to Murtagh and asked "So should we awake Eragon?"

"Uh… sure." Murtagh answered. Danielle smiled.

"Okay! You do it!" she said cheerfully. Murtagh looked at her confused then he shrugged and walked towards Eragon.

He never tried to wake up Eragon before did he? Kahiro asked, trying to contain her laughter.

Nope. It was always me. Answered Danielle with a small giggle.

Murtagh walked up to Eragon and shook him. "Eragon, wake up." Eragon just did a light snort and swatted his hand away. "Eragon?" he said again. "Eragon!" he screamed in his ear. Three things happened.

One, Eragon's hand snatched out for his sword, but missed and whacked Murtagh in the ribs. Two, Eragon shot up and collide his head with Murtagh's .Three, Sapihra's tail lashed out in annoyance (don't forget that Eragon and Saphira are connected) and literally swept Murtagh off his feet. Danielle and Kahiro was laughing to death in the sidelines.

After a while of shouting, growling and in Danielle's case, giggling. Murtagh sat down next to her, growling while nursing his head injury. He glared at her. "You knew he was going to do that didn't you?"

Danielle smiled in mock innocence. "I don't know what you mean." She said, resisting the urge to laugh out loud. Then she coughed. "Is your head okay?" she asked, she felt kind of guilty. His head was bleeding slightly, not enough to kill him, but just enough to hurt. She leaned in to examine the wound closely. She winced, "It doesn't look too bad, but it need something to stop the blood." She tore off a bit of cloth from her blanket and held it to his wound. "There you go."

Murtagh felt a bubbling feeling inside of him. 'What is going on with me?' he thought as he felt Danielle's cool hand against his head. 'Aargh… Stupid male hormones.' (I don't know whether they even knew what was hormones then… but I'll just put it in.) After a while of mentally torturing himself, he felt Danielle's hand move away from his head. "That stopped the bleeding, you should be alright now." Danielle said, smiling sweetly.

Murtagh grunted. "Yeah, thanks." Then there was an awkward moment of silent.

"Hey guys, I think we should get a move on, we really need to." Eragon said, shouting from afar. Danielle nodded to him and stood up.

"Let's get a move on then." she said to Murtagh with a small smile she walked off to saddle Cadoc (The saddle was made by Eragon, not as good as Brom's… but okay.)

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx XxXxXxXxXxXxXx XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Danielle rode gracefully on Cadoc, in between Eragon and Murtagh. The journey had been a comfortable silence, Eragon was having a conversation with Saphira, while Murtagh was just staring into space. Danielle had a sketch book out on her lap, drawing the landscape with three people in it. Eragon, Murtagh and herself. How she drew so nicely while riding on a horse, remained a mystery to many people.

"I think we should set up camp here." Eragon said, stopping Snowfire beside a dark tree. "I need to check on Arya." He said. Danielle nodded and slid off Cadoc. Murtagh followed the suit. Danielle went to gather firewood while Murtagh went to hunt for food. After a while they all gathered around the fire.

Eragon cast a worried look at Arya. "I need to bring her to the Varden soon. Maybe the day after tomorrow I'll leave you guys if things go well." He said. Danielle rolled her eyes.

"Eragon… You don't have to stay with us. We very well can take care of ourselves." she said. 'Men.' she thought.

"I know… but what if the Ra'zac come searching for me and found you. You won't able to hold your grounds agai-" Danielle exploded before Eragon could finish his sentence.

"Oh god Eragon! I'm not a baby! Neither is Murtagh! Just because maybe you have more experience then Kahiro or I at being a rider doesn't mean that we are totally useless you know! Murtagh probably has more experience in fighting and I'm a better fighter then you!" Danielle shouted. She was sick of being treated as the lower class just because she was a female.

"I know but, you're a girl and-"

"You are so goddamn sexist… Are you that blind Eragon?" she growled at him. Then she turned around and walked off with Kahiro following behind her. Murtagh stared at her back.

"She can never cease to surprise me…" Murtagh said and he looked at Eragon's astonished face.

Neither of them saw a pair of maroon eyes staring at them, listening to their conversation. "Yes… It is time…" he said before turning away and running after the girl.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx XxXxXxXxXxXxXx XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Danielle leaned against a tree after she felt she was far away enough from the camp. Kahiro slithered up to her. He didn't mean it, little one… Maybe you should forgive him… she said to Danielle

I know I'm being very selfish… But from where we, I came from, everybody is treated as an equal… well, there was quite a bit of sexist left, but we know how to defend ourselves. Danielle said back.

Kahiro looked at her with kind eyes. You are right, form where you came from. But Eragon doesn't know where you came from. You have to understand, here, females are treated as the lesser…

Danielle grunted, then she sighed. Fine, Fine… I'll forgive him…

Another thought, you were never selfish… Kahiro said.

Danielle gave a small smile and hugged Kahiro. I love you… Kahiro's eyes softened.

I love you too little one. Now go back to camp. She said the Danielle, just then, two ugly hairy men jumped out and pushed Danielle onto the ground, holding her still. "Urgals!" Danielle shouted, recognizing them from Eragon's description. Kahiro roared and went to bite the Urgals.

"Jierda!" A man shouted out from behind the bushes at Kahiro. Kahiro was blasted onto a tree and slumped unconscious.

"Kahiro!" Danielle screamed in terror. "Kahiro!" Then she turned back to the man. "If you hurt her I swear I will…" her voice turned softer when she saw the man. The man had the same red hair as her. He was pale, like her. Could it be… Eragon? (her brother…) Then she quickly shook her head. She knew that thought was ridiculous. "What have you done to her?" she screamed at him. Struggling against the two, no, now four men that held her down. "Who the hell are you?" she screamed.

The shade looked at Danielle with amusement. "I am a shade… By the name of, Durza." Danielle glared at him, finally cease her struggling.

"Right Donkey or whatever your name is… What the hell do you want with me?" The shade felt a flicker of annoyance but ignored it. Then he leaned in and caressed Danielle's cheek. She turned her head to bite his finger. The Shade quickly pulled back.

"We need you, you and your dragon… But we will see you in a while." Then he smirked and Danielle's eyes widened knowing he was planning something, she struggled even more against the Urgals. "Nighty night." He said while saying the ancient language to knock Danielle out. After she was unconscious he quickly took the sketch book that Danielle left and looked at it "Not bad." Then he scribbled a note inside. Then, he, Danielle, Kahiro and the Urgals vanished. Leaving the sketchbook open, lying on the ground.
