Hello! Sorry I took so long for updating! Please don't hate me! Please leave a review! Farewell!
Pin the Tail On the Solembum
Eragon and Murtagh sat at the table having a staring contest between them. Angela, Orik, Solembum, and Saphira watched the two, wanting to see who would win first.
I never thought this would be entertaining. Solembum said from his spot beside Angela. Saphira and Angela hummed in agreement, never taking their eyes off the two in front of them. When Eragon looked like he was about to blink, the three moved forward, anticipating for the toddler to blink, to end this staring contest. What they didn't expect, was for Eragon to cry out in triumph.
"Me win!" He cried out happily after he saw Murtagh blink and try to hide the fact he didn't.
"You cheated." Murtagh grumbled to himself as he crossed his arms over his chest, sad that Eragon didn't blink before him.
"How do you cheat in a staring contest?" Orik wondered out loud. Angela shrugged as she leaned back in her chair.
"I don't know, but now I'm bored." She sighed as she watched Eragon and Murtagh fight over who really won in the end. Angela let out a little giggle as Eragon got distracted from the argument and walk over to Saphira.
"Saphiry!" He cooed, reaching for her. "Me want to fly fly!" Saphira shook her massive head at the toddler, nudging him affectionately with her snout.
You can't go 'fly fly.' She told him. Eragon dropped his hands, face showing disappointment.
"Why?" Eragon asked her, cocking his head a little. Saphira looked at Angela for help.
"Because Eragon," Angela started, just as she heard thunder clash in the sky, followed by a pitter patter.
"Aw! It's raining!" Murtagh cut her off as he looked outside.
"Because it's raining." She told him. Eragon sighed in defeat as he plopped down, Murtagh joining him, as the two of them sulked. Saphira looked relived that the rain gave her an excuse for Eragon not to fly on her; since she was afraid he might fall off her.
"Oh, come on! There are bunch of fun things to do inside!" Orik shouted, trying to cheer the two of them up.
"Like what?" Murtagh asked. Orik stumbled on words as he tried to think of something to answer the kid's question.
"Well, we could… um… have another staring contest?!" Murtagh and Eragon groaned, shaking their heads. "Pin the tail on the Solembum?" Orik questioned. The two children seemed to perk up at that idea and nod their head enthusiastically. Solembum started to inch away from the crazy people he was surrounded by and tried to hide under a table, but Angela grabbed him before he could escape.
No! I refuse to be treated like a party game and be tortured by those little demons! Solembum cried as he tried to get out of Angela's hold.
"Oh come on Solembum! It won't be that bad." Angela told him. "It's going to be bad." She whispered to Orik as she passed him.
I heard that! He shouted as he tried to free himself from her hold.
"Soley! Soley!" Eragon cheered as he clapped his hands.
Why do I have a feeling that they are trying to kill me? Solembum asked himself.
~five minutes and a half later~
"All we need is something to pin to his tail." Orik mused as he looked at the tied up Solembum on the wall.
"Froggy?!" Eragon said, holding up a live frog. The frog 'ribbit' in Eragon's hands, looking at Orik and Angela with pleading eyes.
"Where did you find that frog Eragon?" Orik asked him, curious because Eragon was holding no frog in his hand a second ago.
"Glass!" He cheered, pointing to an open glass cage. Angela grabbed the frog from Eragon's hands and put it back in its cage.
"Bad Eragon! Don't get Oswald out without my permission!" She scolded. "Time out!" She pointed to the an empty corner, telling Eragon to sit in it. Eragon's eyes started to get watery as his lips trembled.
"No…" He shook his head at her stubbornly. Angela tapped her foot impatiently at him.
"Go." She said sternly.
"Angela is making Eragon cry, Orik!" Murtagh shouted to the dwarf. Orik looked down and saw, indeed, tears started to stream out of little Eragon's eyes. Angela started to freak out as Eragon started to cry.
"No! Stop crying!" Angela shouted frantic. "I-I'm sorry! Just stop crying!" Angela tried to sooth him down, but it only made him cry harder.
"Why is Eragon crying? And why is Solembum?" Everyone froze as they heard who it was, well except for Eragon and Murtagh.
"Angela made Eragon cry!" Murtagh shouted to Arya. Arya raised an eyebrow at Angela, making her fear her life.
"W-well you see…" Angela trailed off, standing up. Arya walked towards Eragon, kneeling down and hugging him.
"It's okay Eragon." She cooed as she rubbed his back. Eragon grabbed on to Arya as he cried. "It's okay, no need to cry." She pulled slightly away and looked at the toddler. She whipped his tears away and slightly smiled at him. "See, nothing's wrong." He nodded as she kissed his forehead. A cores of 'aw' rippled threw out the room.
"Who knew Arya could act all motherly?" Orik asked, whispering to Angela.
Arya! Solembum cried as he hung from the wall. Please tell me you have good news! Arya shook her head at the werecat. Why?! He cried out in sadness, making everyone chuckle at his pain.
