Chapter 3

-Wake up. Please? I don't want to have to bite you. A voice was saying something when I woke up.

I sat up and said.

I'm up, I'm- I stopped as I saw a little dragon in front of me. I stared at him in aww and then I pulled myself together and touched his mind saying.

Hello, little one, I'm-

My words were cut off by a mental scream of joy. Saphira!

It took me a minute to realize who he really was.

Brom! I yelled with pleasure.

I hugged his neck laughing with joy. I had my Brom back! My sweet, little Brom was back! When I finally stopped hugging him, I said.

You have no idea how much I've missed you. Living with just Eragon-

You've been living with Eragon? His question caught me by surprise.

Yes. He and Saphira raised me and now well I have you again. I replied smiling and then I said sternly. But don't you ever get yourself killed again.

Wasn't it you who got killed first? Brom asked.

That was completely out of my control. I objected.

I could feel his amusement, and I didn't like it.

Don't laugh!

I'm not. He replied.

Brom. I warned him.

You win. He said instantly and I could feel a little fear from him.

I put a hand on his head and I said out loud.

"I would not harm you and you know that."

Brom was silent for a few minutes and then he said.

I always wondered what you would sound like, but I did not expect it to sound so weird.

That's real encouraging, thanks Brom. I said sarcastically.

I didn't mean it that way. He said concern flowing from him in waves.

I laughed and said.

Oh you know you could never hurt me that way.

He sighed with relief. Then, suddenly, I remembered something very important.

Oh no! I totally forgot, Eragon's going to kill me! I exclaimed.

Brom looked at me in surprise so I had to explain.

I wasn't exactly supposed to be out here but I snuck out to find... well you and now I'm going to be in so much trouble with Eragon and Saphira.

Not with me around. Saphira will understand this. Brom said confidently.

I remember saying almost the exact same thing to you when we were apprentices. I said laughing.

Never mind just contact Eragon with your mind, tell him what happened, and make up a fake name for me. Brom said sounding very irrated.

That's my Brom. I said happily and then I got serious. I contacted Saphira and said timidly. Um... Saphira?

SAPPHIRE! Where are you? You are in so much trouble young lady. Saphira didn't even pause for me to tell her.

Saphira, I found your egg. I said after she ranted for a while.

She instantly stopped and asked. Where?

Out in the forest, I'll explain when I get back but it kind of hatched. I flinched wondering what her reaction would be.

I'll be there in five minutes. STAY THERE! Saphira said after a minute.

Okay. I said still worried that she was mad.

She severed the connection and I turned back to Brom.

You're worried. Brom said.

I don't like to make Saphira mad. I said brushing my hair out of my face.

Let me guess, she pinned you down. Brom said and I could feel his amusement.

Close, she pinned Eragon down for several hours and I ended up having to help him. I said shuddering as I thought about it. That's enough to scare even the bravest of dragons into obeying her.

Even Glaedr? Brom questioned.

Especially him, him and every other endurna and dragon around here. I replied.

Suddenly, I heard a roar above me. I looked up and smiled as I saw Saphira. I waved to her and gestured for her to come down nearby.

When she landed, Eragon jumped off her back and ran up. He stopped when he saw Brom though.

"So this is the little dragon that hatched from Saphira's egg." Eragon said approaching Brom slowly.

Yeah, this is Broc, Broc this is my friend Eragon. I said introducing them (even though they already knew each other).

"It's very nice to meet you, Broc." Eragon said smiling.

Saphira moved her head closer to Brom and said to me.

You'd better take care of him, or I will personally make sure that Eragon locks you in your room for an eternity.

I will always take care of Broc, he is mine after all. I replied bravely.

That I believe. Saphira said the amusement evident in her eyes.

I would have complained but I did not want Brom to hear me complaining like a ten year old.

Oh and just so you know, Eragon's still very mad at you for running off. saphira said after a minute.

I already knew he would be. I muttered.

But he'll get killed by all three of us if he does anything to you. Saphira added.

I smiled and then I tried to stand up. A great pain ran up my leg and I fell back down.

Sapphire! Brom was very concerned.

I think my leg is broken. I said.

"We'd better get you back home" Eragon said helping me up.

I nodded; then he helped me on Saphira and all four of us headed back home.
