Brooke: IT'S OVER...IT'S DONE!
Meg: Nope.
Ellie: How did you not put the pieces together?
Brooke: SHUT UP! I'M EMOTIONAL RIGHT NOW!
Sarah: We might just wanna...let her be...
Meg, Ellie and Rebecca: Why?
Sarah: I might have...told her that the next part was getting canceled...
The girls: YOU WHAT?!
Meg woke from cold water being splashed upon her face and Brooke exclaiming, "Ha! I told you it would work!"
"You're a jerk, you know that, Stream?" She mumbled, sitting up with a hand to her head.
"I'm glad you're finally awake." Ellie said. "Mind telling us what happened?" She obliged to reveal her tale.
"It wasn't Brooke!" Sarah realized. "We didn't tell Meg because we didn't think of her name as having six letters."
"I beg your pardon?" She asked. "Care to do a little explaining yourself?"
"At Orik's coronation, a guy, who was pretty much made of light, appeared and told us that one of our friends with a six letter name would mother the child that would decide the fate of Alagaesia with its birth," Ellie explained. "It lines up with what Murtagh, er, Galbatorix said. Meg, no matter what you do, do not become a mother any time soon."
"Great, that's just so helpful, guys."
"Oh, and by the way, what happened to your scar, Meg? Rebecca asked.
Her brows furrowed and she pulled down the neck of her shirt to find that there was no scar. "I...I don't know." She had neglected to mention the part when it was just her and Murtagh, but that still didn't explain her scar or lack there of.
"Maybe you've learned to love again, in which case, you've got to be extra careful." Sarah said. "We'll all have to keep an eye on you."
"Relax," She scolded. "I can take care of myself. I was a deadly assassin long before I gave up my heart; but to be safe, tell no one of this. What happened after I blacked out?"
"Little Miss Brooke, over there, became a Shadeslayer." Sarah said with a smile. "Rebecca kept by your side and Ellie stayed with Eragon while I was with Arya and Blodhgarm, taking care of a Shade the people created in their final attempt to stop us. He was battling us and we were losing when Brooke ran in, stabbed him through the heart and saved the day. We took Feinster about an hour after."
"Nice job, kiddo."
"Baldor wasn't too happy about it though," She said sadly. "We've decided to call off the engagement until after the war if we make it." The girls offered their condolences, but she brushed it off, saying it was for the best.
"I still can't get over that we wasted all those years at school, learning things that we wouldn't need. Peachy." Sarah muttered, feigning to change the subject.
They laughed at her ridiculousness, but deep in their hearts, they wondered if they would ever return home and if not, what would become of them? Regardless, they knew the end was drawing close and they would learn soon enough.
