Ok so here's chapter 3. I know the last chapter was confusing with the whole not knowing when the scenes switched but my computer did something funny so I'm gonna try something different.
Disclaimer: I DO NOT own anything except my characters.
Chapter 3"Take me back NOW!" I screamed. I couldn't see the ground anymore, we were high above the clouds, but I knew we couldn't be THAT far away from Eragon and the Varden.
"No." said Murtagh. His voice was emotionless, and when I twisted around in the saddle to look at him, his face was impassive.
"Why did you take me?" I asked him.
"Because Galbatorix told me to capture and bring back you and Eragon." He replied still emotionless.
"Then why did you take me and leave Eragon?" I asked. He looked at me, and I thought I saw a flash of guilt in his eyes. Then he looked away.
"He's my brother." He said.
"so." I said. "Why are you taking me to my father but leaving Eragon?"
" I told you," said Murtagh. "Eragon is my brother. You're not my sister, so…"
"You're right, I'm not your sister, Murtagh." I said. I was jurt. He was taking me back to my father- the man I hated the most in all if Alagaesia- and yet I was sure I was still in love with him. But he had claimed to love me, and noe he was taking me-his betrothed- back to Uru'baen and he left Eragon behind besause he was his brother.
" I just have one question, Murtagh." I said after a long pause.
"What?" he asked.
" How could you take me back to my father? I hate that man."
"Galbatorix told me to bring back you, Eragon, and Saphira."he said.
"Yes you've said that. This is getting very repetative. Tell me the reason you took me but left tham." I said getting tired of saying the same thing and getting the same answers over and over. It had been that way for about an hour. "Adora," he said. "I didn't want to bring any of you back. I was going to leave all of you there, but…" he stopped and looked at me.
"But what?" I asked.
" But when I saw you there I realizedi couldn't live without you anymor. I love you." He said. Then, without warning, he kissed me. I kissed him back for a moment before I pulled away.
"So you took me with you-" I started.
"Because I couldn't live without you. I missed you too much." Said Murtagh.
I missed you as well, my love." I said. He kissed me again and this time I didn't pull away. When he stopped kissing me, I sat facing formard in the saddle leaning against his chest.
"It's getting dark. We should make camp." I suggested after a few minutes.
"Good idea. I'll tell Thorn to land, and we'll make caamp. You look tired, and it's not easy to sleep while flying."said Murtagh.
When we were on the ground, we made camp. We built a fire and sat together. Talking while he held me. Talking about what we had done after he had been captured, which for me was pretty much helping to Varden.
"You should go to sleep." Murtagh told me after we had been talking for a few hours.
"As should you." I replied. He laughen and kissed my hair. I laid down to go to sleep, wondering what was so funny, and Murtagh was next to me. I fell asleep to him softly singing in the Ancient Language and gently stoking my hair.
XXXXXXX
I woke early in the morningto find that Murtagh was gone. Thorn was still asleep, so I went to find Murtagh. I found him next to a stream looking at the sunrise. I walked up behind him and wrapped my arms around him. He turned around and hugged me. He held me there for a while.
"I'm sorry, Adora."he finally said.
"It's alright, Murtagh. As long as you're with me it's alright." I said.
"I love you."he said.
I love you, too."he said.
"Come on." Said Murtagh. "We should leave so we can get to Uru'baen."
"Alright" I said.
We went back to camp where Murtagh woke Thorn, and I put out the fire. Then we climbed into the saddle and Thorn took off. It was quiet for awhile, then Murtagh asked me where I had gotten my sword. I told him the elves made it. Eragon had brought it to me from Ellesmera. Then he said Thorn wanted to talk with me, and he asked me if I would take down the barriers I had set around my mind.
"Alright." I told him, and removed them.
"Hello."said Thorn.
"Hello."was my reply.
"Why all the formality?" asked Murtagh.
"Shut up."I told him.
"I was just curios about you."said Thorn. "I can see that you love Murtahg very much."
"I do. You were the one trying to break through the barriers of my mind before, aren't you?" I asked.
"Yes, it was me."said Thorn.
"Could you two please include me in your conversation?" asked Murtagh.
"No." Thorn and I said together. Thorn and I started to laugh and mUrtagh just looked annoyed.
"Land Thorn." Said Murtagh. "There's Uru'baen."
I looked down and there it was. The place I had run away from two years ago. I had hoped to never go back and yet here I was. We were able to land just outside the city and walk past the guards. We went to the palace and I saw the man I hated most.
"Murtagh, I see you have followed some of my orders by bringing my daughter back. Where are Eragon and Saphira?" said Galbatorix.
"They escaped."said Murtagh.
"Well then, I see you are incapable of following orders. So I need to teach you how to."said Galbatorix. Then Galbatorix muttered something in the Ancient Language and Murtagh dropped to the floor screaming in pain.
"STOP IT!" I screamed. "LEAVE HIM ALONE!"
Murtagh stopped yelling and I helped him up. I hugged him then stood in front of him.
"Oh…," said Galbatorix. "You care about him. How touching."
"Stay awayfrom him!" I said.
"Why should I?" asked Galbatorix. "He needs to be punished for his incompetance."
"It's not his fault!" I said.
" Eragon and Saphira were well protected."
"But you weren't?" asked Gablatorix.
"I'm capable if taking care of myself. I do not hold as much importance as Eragon and Saphira either" I replied.
"Well you are home now where you belong."he said.
"I'll never belong here! This isn't my home!" I shouted.
"Adora, calm down."whispered Murtagh. I turned around to look at him with fire in my eyes.
"Why should I?" I asked. I was still yelling. Murtagh hugged me and I started to cry.
"I'm sorry, Adora."he whispered.
"I know" I told him. I let go of him and turned to Galbatorix. I glared at him then said, "Why do you want me here? I know it's not because you want me to be 'home'."
" I want you here, because you are my daughter, and you could be…a Dragon Rider."said Galbatorix.
"I will NOT swear fealty to you Galbatorix!" I shouted.
Galbatorix took out two dragon eggs. The last two dragons besides Saphira and Thorn. He beckoned me forward. I started walking forward and Murtagh put a hand on my shoulder. I shook it off and continued forward One of the eggs looked like a giant emerald. I took it from Galbatorix. I held it for a moment then the egg started to crack. A dragon with green scales, bright as emeralds. He walked up to me and I touchedit's head and on my right palm was a gedwey ignasia.
"Wow." I said. "I'm a Dragon Rider."
"That's amazing, Adora!"said Murtagh from behind me. "What's his name?"
"Soreth." I replied.
Ok that's Chapter3. It's longer than the other chapters which is probably good. Chapter 4 won't be up for a while cuz I'm moving across the country so it's gonna be hard to post it. Thanks for reading!
