Ch. 3: We're Stuck!
"Gwen? Is that..." I ask.
"Saphira." She wispered in awe.
"Yes, and the boy..."
"Eragon." She answered. She turned to me. "That's Eragon and Spahia! We are in the presence of a dargon and her rider!" She squealed.
I looked back at Eragon. He seemed nervous. By the way he smiled, or grimced might be a better word, and waved his hand in a gerkey kind of way.
Suddenly, Gwen started cheering and elbowed me. I started clapping really loudly. Nobody joined us. Then, suddenly. like everybody was aiting for a que, the whole crowed errupted into a gigantic roar of excitment.
Eragon looked at Saphira and she started moving. God, I wish I could talk wih my mind. I thought
Saphira looked at the first section of people and snorted at them, making smoke coming out of her nose. The crowd queited and shrank back, then started cheering even louder.
Eragon started looking at all the faces of The Varden. He wad an expression of wonder on his face.
I turned around to look, and there at my feet was a dwarf. I glanced everywhere and I could easily see that dwarves outnumbered humans.
Now that I see, the humans seem tense. All the men wore daggers and looked hard and tough. The women held themselves with pride. But even they carried weapons. The children looked scared. As if they have seen things they shouldn't have.
"Julia, look." Gwen whispered in my ear. I turned around a Saphira was right in front of us. I looked up at Eragon. He turned his head and stared right at me. I felt as if it was just us. Eragon and me floating in the universe.
Suddenly a giant blue head was right in my face. I go cross-eyed trying to look and a puff of smoke fills my senses. I cough and stumble back.
I look back at Eragon. He seemed to be in a conversation with Saphira. By the looks of Saphiras reactions, she seemed irritated with something.
A bald man came up to Saphiras side, "You must go on foot from here."
A booing came from the crowd. I looked back at the bald man and gasped, tapping Gwen on the shoulder.
"Gwen, we've already read the book. We know what's going to happen." I say.
"Your right!" Gwen exclaims.
"We could change the book!" I said. "Like...hmmm...umm...oh! Like Durza! We could stop him from slashing Eragons back! Or like the twins! We could stop them too!" I exclaim.
"But if we did any of that, it would affect the rest of the story line i. The other three books." Gwen pointed out. "If we stopped Durza, which would be impossible in the first place, Eragon couldn't be healed by the spirits of the dragons. Or if we stopped the twins. Murtaugh would never become a rider with thorn and Orik will never become the rightful king of the dwarves."
"Damn, your right." I say, "I just thought that if we change anything, we could stop bad things from happening to Eragon And Saphira."
"No, we can't interfere with with anyone or anything. We need to figure out a way to get back to our world." Gwen said. She started pacing back and forth.
"Gwen, let get situated first. I have a bad feeling that we might be here for awhile." I say.
"Huhhhh." Gwen sighs. "Your right. Let's get a room or something."

"You say you want a room, eh?" The inn keeper said.
"Yes please." I said back, bouncing on my toes.
"Alright. 5 crowns per night per room." He replied.
I glanced at Gwen. "That's the thing, we don't have money."
"What!" the inn keeper slapped his hands on the bar. "You don't have money? You ask to spend the night at my inn for free?" He asked outraged.
Gwen shrank back from his temper, but I held my ground. "This is the Varden, no? Do we have to pay to get? Do we pay to sleep here? To have shelter from out there!?" I said, pointing beside me
"No, but..." The inn keeper said nervously.
"No! So why do we have to pay to sleep at this piece of shit of a place? We could just as well join Galbatorix's forces!" I interrupt.
Gwen is standing beside me again arms crossed. A couple of men walking in and out of the inn were listening in to our argument and nodded along with us.
"Look miss, I'm sorry! It's just, I'm the only male in my family and we need the money. My apologizes." The inn keeper looked down in shame.
My gaze softened, "Look, I'm sorry that I over reacted. I'm understand your difficulties." I say.
He looked up and smiled, "Here's your key. Your room is number seven on the left. We do serve breakfast but it's not much." He handed us the key and ushered us up the stairs.
The room wasn't terrible, but there was only one bed and you could see through the floor boards, not to mention that some of the boards we're missing and broken.
I smiled at the inn keeper. "Thank you... umm," I paused.
"Gargon." Gargon replied.
"Gargon. Thank you." I finished.
He smiled and backed out of the room closing the door. We waited until his footsteps reseeded.
"Okay, now we can discuss this matter." I say to Gwen.
"Alright, we got here by you dropping that rock on the book, right?" Gwen asked.
"Right." I say.
"So all we have to do is drop the rock on the book again and we should go right back to our world." Gwen explained.
"Sounds simple enough. Soooo, where's the book?" I asked.
"I thought you had it! Where's the rock?" She exclaimed.
"I thought you had it!" I say.
"Great! And there's probably not a book in 'the book'." Gwen says, plopping herself down on the bed. It makes a creaking noise.
"And there probably isn't a magic rock shaped like a dragon either." I say sitting down right next to Gwen. Suddenly the bed makes another creaking noise and collapses on itself making us fly of the bed.
"What the hell?" I say.
"Cheap-o" Gwen says.
"We stay on the floor thinking. I suddenly jump up. "I got it!" I exclaim
"What!" Gwen says. "Details details!"
"We're in a book, right?" I ask.
"Duh!" Gwen answers.
"And what happens at the end of every book?" I ask, leading up to my point.
"Uhhh..." She stops.
"The book ends!" I say.
"And if the book ends," She says finally putting it togeather.
"We'll have no where to go!" I say, "The book will restart and we'll be kicked out!"
"We'll go back to our real world!" She exclaims.
"So all we have to do is wait until the book ends!" I say.
Gwen suddenly stops smiling. "That's going to be awhile." She says, "It's going to be hard not to interfere with anything important."
"Your right. But think, if you were on the first chapter, it would be a lot longer of a wait." I say.
"Yea. That would be hard." She says back.
We start laughing, when suddenly, the door burst open. We gasped, glancing at each other. Because there, standing in the hall, were the twins.
Thank you for reading! I'll get going on chapter 4 as soon as possible. Please, read, favorite, follow, comment! I want to know what you think!
