Whew, I ddin't type in Microsoft word for days, and since I like doing that it was kind of a torture for me! And I know that shaphira is called flame tongue not flame mouth, it was just a mistake in typing.

Here it is, chapter four of Dragon riders my first ever fan fiction.

Oh and I almost forgot, I DO NOT OWN AVALON WEB OF MAGIC I only own this plot and the rest of it belongs to Rachel Roberts. And I don't own the other books (I wont tell you the name now because if you haven't read it, you have to read my story to find out what it is) it belongs to the mystery author (I will tell you his name in the next chapter but then a lot of you might have figured out who it is).

Chapter Four: Go after the rider!

Adriane sat in the magic glade. It was more beautiful and filled with magic now… She didn't care that she was nearly freezing in the snow… She walked toward the rocking stone, knowing something was waiting for her. She got closer… a mixture of emotions filled her… fear, anger, sorrow… and one she could not recognize…. It wanted her to get closer, whatever it was... She was very close now she put her hand out, nearly touching the monster that was facing her. It opened its mouth and-

"Adriane, we should really get going you know, we have to get an early start." It was Zach who was talking to her, she knew that it was just a dream. Adriane, wake up! Dreamer started to lick her and refused to stop until she was sitting up.

"What on Earth are you guys doing?" she asked sheepishly, "I thought it was still night." She stood up and slung her bag over her shoulder.

"You were having a dream that held clues to your future," said Shaphira, "Which is the reason you wanted to see it and not wake up"

"I would call it a nightmare not a dream." Said Adriane. She purposely got herself dripping wet from the stream they were crossing and then dried herself using magic. "It was really horrible but kind of mysterious." When she turned back, she saw that Zach and dreamer were trying to figure out a way to get across. Since Adriane didn't use stones this time, Zach and Dreamer had no way to get across. She quickly used magic and brought out some rocks from the water to form a bridge.

"Thanks," said Zach, "another minute and we would have to cross the same way you did."

"Very funny," Said Adriane, "I would have made sure that you had drowned."

"Really?" Zach was slowly backing off toward the trees.

"Yeah. Really. Not kidding" Adriane looked at Zach as if they had never been friends.

"Why?" said Zach, sounding hurt.

Dreamer looked at Zach and Adriane. He had no clue what they were talking about. He asked Drake, but Drake said he had no clue either, but he said they were probably going to laugh any minute.

"'Cause you're not Zach and so you don't have act like him anymore." Adriane fixed him in one of her all-time feared evil stares. Her dark eyes became darker, she raised her wolf stone, preparing to attack, still looking at him with her eyes flashing amber. Any other witnesses would have given her five stars and the Dark sorceress zero stars for the evil stare they were giving; compared to Adriane now, the Dark sorceress seemed as harmless as a small dead flower.

"How do you know?" asked the fake Zach, "I thought it was impossible to tell."

"I'm not going to bother telling you that." She said. She threw an arc of golden magic at him. The boy said something and the magic coming at him became weaker.

"If a fight is what you want, it's a fight that you get." Yelled Adriane. She quickly took her other crystal out of her pocket and tied it around her neck. She immediately felt better and more powerful, perhaps even more powerful than the blazing star. She created an invisible shield over herself and Dreamer, who was trying to help her.

"I think that we should be on defense just to see what he can do." He said.

They started to slowly be on defense and see the limits of the human standing in front of them. He was good. Not only at defending himself, but also at attacking them with his fire. A few times though, he said a few words and whatever he was trying to do had failed.

Adriane did not care when he was saying the spells, she just attacked whenever she wanted. Dreamer was the distraction for the boy. If he looked like he was going to do one of his spells, Dreamer tried to stop him by barking so loudly that everyone hearing had to cover their ears. Even then, Adriane knew if it continued like this, they would lose to the boy. We need a plan. She thought. Then it hit her.

"Dreamer," She said telepathically, "We need to get near the trees. And then I'll carry on, you just need to distract him."

"Okay." Dreamer didn't understand what was happening but he knew Adriane was a very good planner.

"Drake," She said (and of course, that was telepathically), "I need you to help Dreamer."

Adriane slowly set her plan into action. Drake and Dreamer were doing an excellent job at keeping the boy confused, she knew he barely noticed her now, he was too busy trying to stop drake from frying him to crisp and dreamer from bleeding him to death. She disappeared into the woods still able to see what was going on. She took her guitar out of her bag, which was still on her, and sang an enchanting song. She was spellsinging. She knew Drake and Dreamer would not be affected by it, but the boy would. He would start to come toward the song and when he did, he would fall into Adriane's trap. It went just as planned, which was not a surprise, since Adriane had given so much thought to it. The boy had followed the song faster than she expected. His weakness was spellsinging more than Kara. He followed the music with a dreamy look on his face. Adriane had to struggle hard not to laugh. He was a few meters away from her when Adriane stopped singing and did one of her golden glowing thread attacks, sending the boy flying backwards into a very thick tree and causing him to lose consciousness.

Five ½ hours lter….

"Are you sure he is your rider?" cried Adriane and Zach in unison.

Yes. I am perfectly sure." Said Shaphira. She had not taken part in the fight yesterday; instead choose to watch at a safe distance. She idly licked one of her claws, "Or else I would have killed him by now."

"Then why Didn't you stop the fight?" They wailed.

"I wanted to see how well he could fight without me. And you two" she pointed at Zach and Adriane "stop acting like stupid two year olds and start acting like a proper sixteen year old Zach and a proper fourteen year old Adriane."

"But there are a lot of sixteen year old Zachs and fourteen year old Adrianes." They said, sounding younger every minute, "Which ones should we act like?"

Shaphira sighed, causing a puff of smoke to escape from her mouth. "You two are hopeless."

Before they could say more, they heard movement behind them. The boy had woken up.

"Shaphira," he said, not caring to hide his surprise, "What are you doing here?"

"I was waiting for you when I met them" She explained. " they will not harm you, even when I am not there."

"I hope so." The boy looked distrustfully at Adriane, Drake, and Dreamer. Adriane glared back at him.

½ hour later….

"What were you doing here?" asked the boy.

"That's none of your business" said Adriane, sounding like her fourteen year old self.

"I think it is my business." Said the boy

"Excuse me?" Adriane jumped up from her sitting position "Here you are, coming from the middle of nowhere, and then starting to act like it's you place. Even killing plants and animals when you want to, You even nearly killed a mistwolf!" At the mention of a mistwolf being killed, Zach was all ears. He looked a little angry underneath his 'smiley face' self. "And you purposely killed many good plants that is part of the natural ecosystem. But then did you care what they were doing there and what role they were playing in nature?" Adriane was nearly yelling the last word out.

"Um… I don't mean to be rude," said the boy looking uncomfortable, "but what is a mistwolf?"

"Ugh. You are too stupid." She said, exasperated, "let's just say it's a wolf that is more intelligent than most stupid humans."

"And I happen to know all of them" added Zach quietly, now sounding like a real sixteen year old version of himself.

"How about you start telling us who you are and what you are doing here?" Said Adriane, knowing that a very boring argument was on the way.

"Like I said, I am a dragon rider and this is my dragon-"

"Hold on a moment, you're not supposed to say that"

"All right. This is Shaphira. And we came here because we're supposed to find some people and the person who sent me here said they would be around here."

"What is your name?" asked Adriane.

"Some people call me shadeslayer or firesword or Argetlam, but I want to be called simply Eragon."

How do you like it? Get those reviews in! sorry.
