Green eyes met brown ones as she looked up, "Eragon!" The boy turned and ran up the street, "Eragon!" No matter how much Jaden yelled after him, he never stopped. Hanging her head, she cried. Perfect, she thought, I just threw away the best thing that ever happened to me! She leapt to her feet, almost knocking over Murtagh and ran after him. Because she was an elf, she had no trouble catching up but almost crashed into his back.
She felt Eragon clasp her hand; she wondered what had brought around this change of heart. She knew at once as the voice came, that annoying high-pitched voice she thought she'd gotten rid of. "Eragon!" a pause, oh great, she thought running a hand through her raven hair. "I don't approve of the company you keep!" There was malice in the voice and this caused Jaden to loose her cool, "I could say the same for you!" For the first time in a decade, Jaden had come face-to-face with her older sister.
There was a tense silence between the Elven girls. Eragon had a bad feeling that blood would be spilt if weapons were drawn. Murtagh appeared behind them, yes he thought, blood would be spilt. He glared back at Murtagh before looking at Arya, "Leave her alone!" The older elf laughed, "You think I want anything to do with that waste of space? No thank you, she can run off to daddy like she always did!" Jaden snarled, it sounded vicious and animal-like and frankly it scared Eragon.
