Scary Story Teller Murtagh
Eragon and Murtagh were both sitting down, a huge oak tree sitting behind him. Eragon held Albert in his hand, smiling as he played with the stuff frog. Murtagh was playing with a grain of grass, looking at his brother as he played with the stuff frog. He was bored. They both were. There was nothing to do because the others were looking through big old dusty boring books that Murtagh didn't deem as 'fun'. Angela looked like she had agreed with him. Murtagh let out a sigh as he leaned his head back on the tree, looking up at the leaves that were high above him, softly rustling as the wind blew.
"I'm so bored." He complained, throwing the grain of grass away violently before he picked up another one, messing with that one too. Eragon looked at Murtagh, holding the frog close to his chest as he smiled.
"Me not!" he exclaimed, going back to messing with Albert. Murtagh looked at him at the corner of his eyes. How can he not be bored? What was so interesting about that frog that Eragon always found so entertaining. Murtagh shook his head as he raked his brain trying to find something interesting to do. With a jolt, he looked at Eragon with an evil smile.
"I know what!" he shouted, standing up and offering a hand to the toddler. Eragon took his hand, raising an eyebrow slightly at him. "Wanna hear a scary story Eragon?" he asked, adding, "Well of course, not before going back to the others." Eragon looked like he was thinking as he had his tongue stuck out and his eyebrows were furrowed.
"Sure!" he squealed, face going back to normal.
"Great!" Murtagh grabbed his hand as he ran to the tent the others were in, that evil smile never leaving his face. They burst into the tent, startling the people in it. "Scary story time!" he shouted, leading Eragon to two empty chairs.
"Yes! Something to get me away from these dusty boring books!" Angela shouted with glee, shutting her book with a loud 'bang'.
"Yay! I go first!" Murtagh shouted, shuffling in his chair as he thought about a good story. "Okay," he said once he thought about a good story to tell. "once upon a time, there was an evil witch named Sally and a little farmer boy named Eragon."
"Saphiry! He has the same name as me!" Eragon shouted with joy. Saphira snorted in laughter as he nodded her giant head
Yes Eragon. Yes he does. Saphira responded.
"Anyway," Murtagh went on. "Eragon was a curious boy. He wondered into the forest one day and into Witch Sally's house. Being curious, he walked around the house, seeing dead toa-"
"Frogs! Frogs! Toads aren't real!" Angela interrupted. Murtagh sighed, nodding.
"Frogs. Eragon didn't pay much attention to the dead frogs as he went on and into a room." Eragon sat next to him, trembling with fear at each word he said.
"Saphiry! Make him stop!" he whimpered. The dragon put her head next to her Rider, Eragon latching on to it as he rubbed his face on her snout.
"Inside the room," he continued. "was a portal. The portal was black with a red rim. Inside that portal was…" at that moment, someone decided to enter the room making Orik-who has yet to speak-and Eragon shriek with terror. Arya closed the flap of the tent behind her, raising her eyebrow. Solembum ran up to her, eyes pleading as he asked,
Please tell me you found the cure! Arya sighed as she shook her head, Solembum yelling in grief and sadness as she walked pass.
"Can I finish my story?" Murtagh asked, grumpy.
"Story?" Arya questioned. Angela nodded as she looked at the elf.
"Indeed. Murtagh here is telling us all a scary story, and yes you may continue as long as you do not mix frogs up with the word, 'toad'." Angela replied. Murtagh nodded as he continued.
"Inside the portal was… a pink unicorn with fairy dust!" at that, Orik and Eragon shouted with fear, earning a dumbfounded look from Arya, Angela, Solembum, and Saphira.
"Murtagh… who knew you are good at telling scary stories…" Orik whimpered, Eragon nodding in agreement.
