Sorry I haven't been on in so long!

TORN BETWEEN TWO?

Eragon woke up at about midnight. The clearing he lay in was completely quiet. After 15 minutes of doing a full scan of the clearing he froze, his only movements were his steady breathing and his reach for Brisingr, too slow to see. He was sitting near the tallest oak tree in the forest at the edge of the clearing. Then he heard a fwoosh! And a crunching sound which immediately awoke Saphira and Arya. As Eragon slowly turned towards the tree, his eyes were wide. A smooth, shiny, silver knife was in the tree.

Saphira?

Do not move Eragon! She responded

Help Saphira!

Just don't move Eragon! She said again

Arya began to slowly stand up, her hand wrapped around a silver dagger that had been hidden in her dirty brown belt. She pulled it out and began to crawl towards Eragon. Then a girl's voice said, "It's you!"

Eragon immediately recognized the voice Lexi he stood up and ran towards the woods. He was shouting "Lexi, Lexi!"

Arya stood there "who's Lexi?"

Lexi ran out of the dark forest yelling "Eragon, Eragon!" as they ran up to throw their arms around each other, each one tightly hugging the other.

Saphira was thinking Oh jeez and she and Arya both rolled their eyes.

"Why are u here?" he asked staring into her eyes.

"My brother is very sick, I am hunting for food," she replied with a little worry in her voice.

"Why did you throw your knife at me?" he asked still gazing into her eyes.

"I did not know it was you," she said giving him a smile.

Arya stood with her hands on her hips with her body shifted to one side and glared at him. "Eragon," she said softly as he talked with Lexi staring into her eyes "Eragon!" she yelled, "we have to go!"

"Oh, right come on, Lexi climb onto Saphira," he said

"Oh no, I should probably go," she replied sadly

"Yeah you should" Arya said sourly. After she realized she had said it she turned away.

"Oh, who are you?" Lexi asked as if just noticing her "I'm Lexi"

"I am Arya" she said "Eragon's ….friend" she choked out the word friend. She knew that she loved Eragon a lot, but she also knew that to be together, she would have to go against everything she believed in.

Arya didn't want Lexi to come at all. She was very jealous because it was so obvious that Eragon loved Lexi so much more than her.

So Eragon and Lexi mounted Saphira. Arya had to ride a horse (she did not have her horse). They rode to Alagaesia. They stayed there hidden for the night in a small clearing that Eragon had found, just big enough for them.
