Disclaimer: I do not own the Inheritance cycle/Eragon.

Sorry I haven't updated in so long. I got distracted by some of the other stories I'm working on. Anyway I hope you enjoy chapter 4.

Chapter 4

Oww. I complained as I basically fell off Saphira's back.

Brom nuzzled my side before saying.

Be more careful next time.

I was trying to save your egg, I didn't mean to break my leg. I snapped.

Eragon helped me up and into the house. Then he helped me to a chair and helped me prop my foot up.

Oww. I complained again when his hand rested on my leg.

"Foolish girl." Eragon said taking his hand away.

I was getting Broc's egg. I snapped.

"But how did you break your leg?" Eragon asked.

Um... a man had his egg and- I started to say.

"Wait what man?" Eragon asked interupting me. "What did he look like?"

I thought about it for a minute and then I said.

He was tall and had black hair with brown eyes.

"Anything else?" Eragon asked.

He had a sword with a red blade. I replied.

Eragon's eyes widened. He had a look on his face that I recognized instantly.

Eragon, what's wrong? I demanded.

"Nothing." Eragon replied quickly before saying. "I have to go."

"ERAGON!" I said not wanting him to leave. I mean I had a broken eg and he was going to leave me alone.

He looked at me surprise.

You are not leaving me alone, I have a broken leg and I'm only ten. I snapped at him.

"Broc and Saphira will still be here." Eragone said calmly.

Don't care, I want you to stay here! I said firmly.

Eragon took a deep breath and then he asked.

"What if I heal you then go?"

I thought about it for a moment and then I nodded. If he healed me, I could find out where he was going and follow him.

Eragon held his hand out and said.

"Waise Heil!"

I sighed with relief as the pain receded. We both stood up. Eragon put a hand on my head and said.

"I'll only be gone for a few hours, Broc will keep you company and Saphira will keep an eye on you."

Ok. I replied.

Eragon smiled and then he walked out. I waited a few minutes before grabbing my sword.

What do you think you're doing? Brom demanded.

What does it look like I'm doing? I asked smiling.

You are not going to follow him. Brom said firmly.

I will. I replied.

Are you always like this? Brom asked.

Aye, Eragon says it's because I'm stubborn. I replied.

He's right. Brom commented.

Quiet you. I snapped before saying. If Saphira comes by tell her I'm off looking for another book.

You like to read? Brom asked sounding surprised.

Yes, the books that humans come up with are very educational and sometimes very funny. I replied smiling. Though Eragon always has the funniest stories.

Oh what stories does he have? Brom asked.

Embarressing ones about his past. I replied laughing a little.

I would love to hear those. Brom said laughing as well.

Later, now I have to go before I lose him. I said heading to the door.

Be careful. Brom said.

I nodded and then I slipped out the door.

I walked quiely until I was out in the forest. As soon as I was out in the forest, I raced to catch up to Eragon. I ran but I made sure that I didn't make a single sound. He was fast but I was faster. Soon I was only a few feet away from him, I knew he wouldn't notice me because I was hidden well.

After I had follow him for a while, I heard him say.

"Oh don't even bother to hide, I know you're there."

For a moment, I thought he meant me and then the man, I had saw, stepped out of the shadows.

"So Therin, you could not resist the dragon eggs even though I told you that if you did anything there would be consequences." Eragon said gruffly.

Therin glared at him and then he said.

"I would have had it if that girl hadn't interfered."

"It wouldn't have hatched for you, in fact, it hatched for that very girl who interfered." Eragon said and then he said very angrily. "But why on earth would you steal Saphira's egg?"

"That was her egg?" Therin asked eyes wide.

"Yes and she's still mad about it." Eragon said angrily.

Therin started to look nervous. I honestly couldn't blame him. If you steal an egg from a dragon, said dragon will tear you limb from limb.

"If you leave and never try something like that again she might spare you." Eragon said.

"Fine, I'll leave but one way or another I will get a dragon, Eragon." Therin said before turning and running off.

Eragon sighed and then he said.

"Sapphire, come out now or you'll be in even more trouble."

I walked out of my hiding place feeling both scared and confident.

"Does Saphira know you're out here?" Eragon asked.

"No." I replied.

"Does Broc?" Eragon asked.

"Of course, he's my dragon." I replied.

"Why do you always do this?" Eragon asked.

"I don't like to obey people." I said smiling.

"How about dragons?" Eragon asked.

"No." I replied. "I don't like to obey them either."

"You are going to get killed one of these days." Eragon said shaking his head.

"Probaly." I agreed.

"You have the mind of a reckless dragon." Eragon said.

"Why, thank you." I said smiling.

"It wasn't a compliment!" Eragon said shaking his head.

"Yes it was." I replied smiling.

"Let's just get back home so I can punish you properly." Eragon said exasperated.

I gulped as we both walked home.
