Jewel was still not there and Dolly's eggs were wiggling and cracking. All except for one. The cracked one showed no signs of life, though she knew the chick was alive.
"why don't we go meet some chickens?" eragon asked Arya
"are you sure about this?" she asked
"absolutly! and don't worry about anything, nobody, and i mean NOBODY is going to hurt you while i'm here" he said to her
"ok" she said
so they walked over to see a broody hen sitting on some eggs. she looked excited to eragon.
"hello" eragon said
Arya hid half behind eragon and said nothing.
"uh... i'm... uh..." she was really shy
eragon chuckled "this is Arya she is really shy i just met her a few days ago" he said
"y-yeah" she managed to say she gave eragon a playful shove so he hugged her
"well he looks like my old mate... the humans i used to live with killed him... i think" Arya said
"i on the other hand have no idea, she says her mate was killed 3 months ago and that is about when i found myself in the middle of the woods... Strange!" eragon said
"Hhhhmmmm" Dolly said. She was surprised that they had not realized. "Eragon, Where did you wake up 3 months ago. And Arya do you know where they threw out your "dead mate"?"
"well let me think..." he thought for a moment "about 3 miles west from here i think" he said
"well i have wondered around for some time now but they threw him next to an absolutly huge maple tree" she said
"a-a a huge maple tree?! i woke up next to a huge maple tree... did this tree he was dropped by have a heart with A+E written in it?" he said thinking that something big was gonna happen
"oh my" Arya said starting to tear up
