on the back of his neck, his eyes still on me.
At this point my friendliness came to an end, I bitched:
“I'm 15! And at first I thought you were 14!” Rather, it sounded more like an accusation.Fortunately, Susi came down from above at that moment, she had some things in hand. She quietly put the things over the back of the chair and went out, Eragon following her. Now I was all alone, only then did I notice the tiredness in me and my eyes closed.
The sun was already going down when I woke up. A blanket had been placed over me and my right leg was on the chair where my things were on it. Outside I heard 2 people discussing loudly, which I couldn't see, who was talking so loudly went outside to have a look. Murtagh, Susi and Erafon stood outside. Now all eyes were on me.
"Well, finally got some sleep?" joked Murtagh.
"Not really!" I replied with a yawn.
Then Susi told me: “I have found 2 new horses. That’s gonna be tomorrow we’re going to Yazuac!” I let my gaze wander over Eragon and Murtagh one last time, thinking that I would see them for the last time then I went in with Susi.At the same time I jumped up the stairs with my good foot. I couldn't believe my eyes as I looked down the hall, things were scattered on the floor, pieces of wood were also there, doors were broken off their hinges. It didn't look any different in my room, my clothes were lying on the floor, too, and sometimes you could even see the Urgals' footprints on them. The mattress was leaned upright against the wall and was slit in the middle. It looked like the Urgals were looking for something but couldn't find it. But picking up my things went quickly, when I was done, Susi went to bed. Since I had already slept, of course I couldn't sleep. Nevertheless, I sat down on the chair and waited until sunrise, because then we wanted to leave.
Fortunately, after 10 subsequent stitches, it was over. Sighing, I turned on my back and tried to get up by pulling myself up by the chair. With a rumbling noise, the chair fell to the floor.I sighed, Eragon offered his hand to me, where I pulled myself up. Then I put the chair back down and sat on it.
Eragon took the opposite chair, sat down on it and pierced me with his gaze. But I just watched my foot and turned it a little. Still staring at my foot, I asked:
"Do these cattle belong to you?"
His brow furrowed.
"What do you think?"
"Well, that flying lizard!" I sighed, rolling my eyes again.
"Yes, and the cattle is a you and is called Saphira! And neither is she a flying lizard or a cattle! She is a dragon!" He snapped at me and looked at me suspiciously.
For the first time we looked each other in the eye, even if that look wasn't very friendly, it looks at me. It was very clear then that he could hardly be 20
`because an adult would have reacted completely differently than he did. 'it went through my head.
`Now I have to know! `I gathered up all my courage."How old are you?", I crossed my arms over my chest and looked at him expectantly.
"I'm 18! And I think you're a lot younger than me, right?" He replied, whereupon he leaned forward and raised an eyebrow. I was about to start but he interrupted me
"Don't say it! I already know you're 12 or 14 in between!"
He stretched and put his hands on the back of his neck, his eyes still on me.
At this point my friendliness came to an end, I bitched:
“I'm 15! And at first I thought you were 14!” Rather, it sounded more like an accusation.

Since I had already slept, of course I couldn't sleep. Nevertheless, I sat down on the chair and waited until sunrise, because then we wanted to leave. When we got to the north city gate at sunrise, I was amazed that Murtagh was sitting there waiting for his black stallion. But since I didn't notice anything anyway, I left it as it was and didn't bother about it right away. The three of us rode off crumpled.
After a few kilometers, Susi rode up to me.
"Are you okay with Murtagh and Eragon with us ?!"
"Is that supposed to be a message or a question?" I sighed coldly, looking at her sideways with a bored look, then kicked my horse in the side and galloped forward.It wasn't until night fell that I saw Susi and Murtagh again. I sat down on the edge of the camp and watched it happen, how to make a fire. The two behaved rather stupidly. After a while Eragon joined me and boasted: "I can make a fire myself from here!" With a disdainful look from me he let it be seen, he raised his left hand and spoke slowly:
"Brisingr!"
Suddenly the fire flared up blue, Murtagh fell backwards in shock, then straightened up and called out, not very enthusiastic:
"Very funny, Eragon!" After we had finished eating, the next question came,
“Who is keeping the vigil?” Fortunately, I was saved by the vigil because I was eventually injured. Eragon commented:
"She can't even get up without falling!" I just glared at him and shut my mouth. Murtagh wanted to keep the vigil for it the next day. So there was only Susi and Eragon left, who then led a heated discussion.To resolve the conflict, Murtagh said:
"Whoever pulls the leaf must keep vigil!", Taking a dry leaf in his left hand and hiding his hands behind his back. Of course, Susi didn't pull the sheet, so Eragon had to put the night watch. When that was resolved, I packed myself on my back to the warming fire. After a while it got uncomfortable and I turned to the fire. Eragon looked over the fire straight into the forest, I was reassured that he was not watching me. Once again I turned restlessly back and forth. My eyes were already burning because I was so tired, but I just couldn't find peace, because I could always hear the others breathing, which was pretty loud. Finally a gleeful voice whispered:
“You can't sleep!” I turned to Eragon, who was sitting across from me.
He grinned gleefully. But I rather thought he was glad that someone else couldn't sleep either, like him.
So I talk to him half the night.I told him what I had experienced so far. But I left out the fact that I had taken him for a slave trader and that I had seen him by the stream. When I told him what Hedrick had said at the end before we left, he looked away from me and looked back at the forest. Then he asked:
“And you still don't know what he meant by that ?!” Shaking my head, I bit my lower lip. Just before morning began, he fell asleep and I was wide awake, not a spark of tiredness in me. I decided to only wake him up when something seemed strange to me or when it was time to get the others out of the dreamland. On all fours, I crawled around to the other side and handed him my blanket. Then I sat in his seat because I didn't want to be indebted to him for helping me fight the Urgals.
When I noticed that Susi was rummaging around vigorously in her bed, I shook Eragon's arm and whispered gently:“Get up!” He slowly opened his brown eyes, he looked at me, startled. "You fell asleep, that's why I didn't wake you up," I said simply. Without saying another word, he woke Susi and Murtagh. When Susi was on her feet, she came up to me and ordered me:
“Show me your leg!” I lay down on my stomach again and use my arms as a pillow. Slowly and carefully, she took off the bandage that was around my calf, then hissed in horror:
"Oh shit!"
"What that?" I wanted to know. A shiver ran down my spine when I looked at my leg. Everything was infected, my sewn skin glowed red. Instead of answering me, she ran to Eragon, whispered something to him, and looked at me. He came up to me resolutely, put his warm hand over my eyes and said powerfully:
"Slytha!"
Then I was completely gone. As if I had been given drugs, I couldn't even think clearly, only after a few deliberations did I remember my name again.A lukewarm breeze made me slowly wake up. But I couldn't keep my eyes open for long, because my eyelids were just too heavy and I saw nothing but loamy soil below me. A short time afterwards someone called, “Where now?” The voice was quite close. Then another voice rang out, but it sounded more feminine. "A little further and then to the left!", She said but how far away she was or who it was I could not yet place. This drove my thoughts back into the darkness.
"Now you can stop!" Someone shouted loudly, these words boomed in my ears, which made me wake up, but I still saw everything blurred and it felt as if I had made too many turns because everything was spinning
