Out take
Aubree
“So what’s crackin?” He said with his IPod in his hand and an earphone in his ear, probably listening to heavy metal or something funny and perverted.
“Not much, this by the way is Eragon.” I said leading Izzie over to him, and they shook hands.
“Hello.” Eragon said.
“Yo.” Izzie said, smiling.
“What is that strange thing you are carrying?” Eragon asked pointing at Izzie’s IPod.
“It’s called an IPod, it stores and plays music, and it holds 80 gigs which is probably around 20000 songs.” He said.
“Is that all it does?” Eragon asked, examining it closely.
“No, it plays video too, and a whole bunch of shit I don’t much care for.” He said.
Izzie clicked the wheel a bunch of times and turned on the light. He moved around in the menus a little, and played a little bit of a movie. It looked like it was from Ace Venchura. He clicked some more, and turned off the light.
“See?” he said smiling.
“What was that?” Eragon asked.
“Um video? Where are you from?” Izzie asked with an eyebrow raised questioningly.
Eragon leaned over and whispered something in Izzie’s ear.
Izzie
The strange guy from who knows what time leaned over and whispered: “Aligasia.”
I whispered back “why are you telling me? It seems that you want to keep it secret.”
“There is strong magic emanating from you. Maybe you could help me?” he whispered back.
“I can try.” I whispered, and I motioned for him to follow me.
“Hey guys? We’ll be back.” I turned and took Eragon behind Old Main.
“What kind of help do you seek?” I asked facing him.
“It depends on what you are capable of doing.” He said.
I shot a twenty foot flame up in to the sky from my pointer finger, and looked at Eragon.
“That is barely scratching the surface of what I can do.” I said.
“What else can you do?” he asked with an astonished look on his face.
I turned my middle finger in to a very sharp dagger, and I turned the flame in to a flaming sword.
“There’s a lot of stuff I can do. I can change in two different things, turn things in to something else, change the weather, and a lot of other stuff I can’t think of at the moment.” I said smiling and putting my hand back to normal.
“Very few people know I can do that kind of stuff.” I said, “So please keep it quiet."

Captured Hearts,Chapter 4
Chapter 4
AUBREE
I stared at him beside me at the dinner table. Abby had informed me that there was something odd about the new students while I was in my room trying out the new garb I had purchased. They did not look too odd to me, but then I was not the detective that she was. They both had strange accents but that was not too abnormal.
Dinner ended and as we put our plates into the dishwasher, Jillian asked for quiet.
“Victoria Stillwell is on tonight, who wants to watch it?”
There was a collective groan from the room and only one or two cheers. “Hasty escape time,” whispered Abby and we all filed out the door. I winked at autumn and she nodded back.
The evening was cool and refreshing. Eragon pointed at one of the school’s form of amusements and asked, “What is that?”
I gave him a funny look and thought ‘note to self, Abby was right.’
“That, my friend, is a tire swing. You sit on it and people push you. It is a lot of fun.”
“Can I try?” he asked mockingly.
I gave my most evil smile. “Sure, if you’re not scared.”
“Aubree, I don’t know if this is such a good idea…” Abby trailed off as she realized my plan.
Eragon hoisted himself onto the tire swing, sitting the wrong way.
“You’re not supposed to sit on it like that.” I commented.
“Just get on with it.” He growled.
“It’s your funeral, or should I say, your manhood’s funeral.”
He hastily changed his seat to a more comfortable one.
I grabbed the chains and started to spin him around me, then I pulled on one particular chain and then let go. I moved as fast as I could to get out of the way. I heard a whoop behind me as I tripped and landed face first in the grass. I pushed myself up on my elbows and looked to see Arya staring worriedly at me.
“Are you all right?” Eragon called from the spinning tire swing.
“She’s fine, she trips all the time, and she is one of the most klutz’s people I know.” Abby yelled to Eragon.
“Thanks Abby,” I muttered.
As I got up from the ground, Autumn’s voice floated from the cottage.
“Abby, come do your laundry and bring Arya with you, so you can show her how it’s done.”
“Well, you heard her, let’s go inside, and see you guys later.” Abby groaned.
That’s when I saw Desi making a daisy crown in the grass. “Hey, so that’s where you ran off to, cool crown. Oh, and by the way Eragon, this is Desi. She is one of my friends along with Abby.”
“Yes, I saw her earlier, sitting at our table. Nice to meet you.”
Then, I heard a voice calling from the sidewalk. “Hey, is that you guys over there?”
I knew without having to look who the voice belonged to. It was the voice of one of the most perverted boys on campus, Israel Gonzalez. I was about to rush Eragon away, but it was too late. He was already headed our way. Even though Izzie was one of my many friends I was dubious about how Eragon would react to the kinds of jokes he cracked. Eragon looked like one of those well brought up boys who never really encountered the ways of the perverted world of teenage guys.
“Hey! What’s crackin down here in psycho-ville?” He inquired with a sardonic smile. I fought the impulse to punch him in the arm. I held back because I knew that it wouldn’t make any difference. I then proceeded to introduce Eragon to Izzie.
“Nothing much. Hey Izzie, meet Eragon. He’s just fresh out of the real world and he brought a friend. her name is Arya. Sorry though, she and Abby had to do their laundry.”
“Oh, that’s okay; I’ll do her laundry any day.” Izzie pronounced this with a grin that had way to much pleasure written across it to be clean minded. I could not stop a fist from connecting with his arm and made it as hard as possible. His jokes were funny in a sick and sadistic way that showed he spent way too much time with his head in the gutter. Boys will be boys no matter if they’re sighted or so blind that they could barely see the nose in front of their face.
“Now Izzie, you are gonna have to explain that one to Dezi, cause you guys are sorta dating. And plus who’s laundry are you going to do exactly?” I decided that I did not want that question answered and hastily made my escape plan.
“Well, anyway, I need to go. I have my sanity to keep and you and Dezi need a little alone time to reconstruct the little mess you just made. Besides, Eragon needs a real tour of the campus not some hoity toity staff thing, if you catch my meanin.”
“Oh, Great, thanks a whole darn much, Aubree. Now he is going to go on and on with fantasies about us alone.” Dezi said this with false anger. She never got angry with Izzie or if she did, it was for a good reason.
I took Eragon’s hand and led him away. I knew by the end of this week he would not be the same person, or at least he wouldn’t be so ignorant about the perverted world that most of the school lived in. I at least did my best to try to keep a handle on my thoughts and actions. I was not someone to give my heart up easily. I had learned my lesson long ago.

Captured Hearts, Chapter 3
Chapter 3
ERAGON
I stood outside of the forbidden hall waiting for Arya and the girl, Abby to return. I got bored and decided to go sit in one of the weird table chairs. I surreptitiously studied my surroundings or at least what I could see of them. Everything looked so fragile and alien. Boxes with strange buttons and lights sat on a low shelf. My mentors had said that these were computers. What use they served, I didn’t know. One of the supposed sane girls bumped into me and introduced herself.
“Hi?”
“Hello.”
“Who are you?”
“I am Eragon. Who are you?”
“Jackie, Cool name, I’ve never heard a name like that. So where do you live?”
“Um, here for now.”
“Well yeah, everyone lives here for the week what about the weekend.”
My mind raced to answer her question somewhat truthfully. What had that one woman said? “Oh, we are not too sure we will stay with two different families and switch back and forth between them.”
“So it’s like foreign exchange, that’s cool. My friend Li Qin is from China, she is here for a year or more.”
“I met her, very interesting character.”
Our conversation ceased as Arya, Abby, and another girl came down the hall. This girl had the most exquisitely colored hair. Even compared to the other two her hair was her most dominant feature.
“Eragon, this is Aubree,” Abby announced.
“Nice to meet you,” I said
“You to,” she murmured smiling.
“Now that that’s over with, I am going to go do my homework before dinner.” Exclaimed Jacki.
I heaved a sigh as Jackie disappeared into the forbidden hall.
“Are you okay?” asked Abby in a concerned voice.
“Yes, just glad to not be bombarded with questions I cannot answer very well.”
“Well, that’s Jackie for you,” Abby commented. Silence rained for a couple of minutes. Then from within the long haul a shriek was heard.
“TIME FOR DINNER!!!!!”
I think I jumped about five feet in the air and stumbled into Aubree.
“Sorry about that.” I apologized.
I noticed that she had grabbed my arm to steady both of us. She let go with her cheeks burning. I turned to see Arya staring at us, a smirk on her face.
“Who in all goodness was that?” she asked in a bewildered tone.
“Oh, that was just Kelsey. She is the loudest around here. You do not want to see her when she is hyper.” Autumn commented.
“Warning noted we will not cross paths with her when she is hyper. I responded quickly.
“Dinner is ready, first come first serve.” Autumn called.
We all lined up and were given plates with some kind of meat sauce over a biscuit, and some sort of salad.
“Just the salad please.” asked Arya, her usual politeness ever present.
“Come sit with us!” called Aubree and Abby from a nearby table.
We walked over and sat at a round table made of some hard material, definitely not wood. Our table was most likely the quietest. Only Abby, Aubree, Jackie and a new girl who had brown hair talked. The new girl spoke in low tones.
At another table, the noise was close to unbearable. A girl with fiery red hair was talking animatedly with another who looked to be not really hearing her. How she could manage this I did not know. Some other girls just sat and ate their food mechanically, as if they were in their own worlds.
Arya leaned over to my ear. “Why did Brom send us here of all places, it makes no sense. There are better things we could be doing.”
I looked around quickly to make sure no one was listening and spoke in a whisper, “My guess is as good as yours, but there must be a good reason. Brom would not send us to such a perilous world for a laugh."

Captured Hearts, Chapter 2
Chapter 2
I didn't realize what Eragon meant until we got back to the cottage after school was out. I rang the bell to get someone to answer the door. Eventually, Autumn answered the door with her customary "Hi Abby.”
It was then I realized more people were in the front room than normal. I recognized Mrs. Mowry's voice. I wondered why on earth she'd be here, but was soon enlightened. A smooth female voice answered Mrs. Mowry. "Thank you for your hospitality." My interest was piqued. This must be Eragon's "companion" he had spoken about. My questions were soon answered by Mrs. Mowry who must have spotted me.
"Abby? Can you come over for a second?" I stepped over. "This is Arya, she's with Eragon." Mrs. Mowry informed, by way of introduction. I put out my hand in the general direction I thought Arya might be and found her hand. It was smooth and cool and she gripped firmly.
"It is a pleasure to meet you." she said carefully releasing my hand. We lapsed into silence and as it didn’t look like she was going to start off I asked, "So what grade are you in?”
"I am in the tenth grade." she answered without a flaw to her smooth wording. I wondered who her parents were; I couldn't imagine another smooth velvet voice like hers. My analysis of Arya was interrupted by the arrival of someone.
"Oh good, you found the place." said Eragon's voice from right beside Arya. It must have startled her too because she snapped an intelligible sound of annoyance.
"Don't do that!" she finally snapped.
"Sorry!” he responded. She muttered something that sounded suspiciously like "idiot.”
"I am not an idiot!" he said hotly. I listened as they fought with interest. What were they, really? From the sound of things, they were together, but I couldn't be sure and I wasn't about to ask one of them for fear of being perceived as a nosy snoot...
I was interrupted yet again by the doorbell right over my head. "Oww!" I yelled on reflex. I heard Jackie come in and go to the kitchen. I was about to leave when I heard Autumn say “Jackie, Jackie, Jackie!” very loudly.
She of course responded with “Autumn, Autumn, Autumn!” equally as loud. Even if it was strange, it did accomplish one thing. I realized the fight that was previously going on behind me had ceased. I felt a tap on my shoulder and I heard Eragon lean over and whisper in my ear.
“Are those two sane?”
I chuckled and replied. “Yes, it’s just one of those weird blind school things, you’ll get used to it.”
Autumn walked over to us and said, “Abby, can you show Arya to her room please? Dinner will be in 15 minutes.”
I agreed and turned in the direction to the hall while Automn turned to Eragon.
“Eragon, I know this is your first day here so if you are more comfortable staying nears someone you know, and then you can eat with us.” Autumn invited.
“He doesn’t have to.” said Arya earnestly.
“If that would be all right with you I would prefer to have dinner to meet more people and stay near Arya.” Was his swift answer.
Well, that answered the relationship question. Even so, I still wondered why they were so close and why they had come to the blind school together.
I didn't realize what Eragon meant until we got back to the cottage after school was out. I rang the bell to get someone to answer the door. Eventually, Autumn answered the door with her customary "Hi Abby.”

"Today class," said Mrs. Tate, "I have a few announcements before you start your blogs.”
"Oh my!" said Li Qin (AKA Rebecca) loudly.
"Let her talk!" Andy mumbled.
"Thank you Andy." said Mrs. Tate pretending she hadn’t been interrupted. "We are going to have a new member in class."
"Who?" asked Jillian. I knew she would already be thinking of ways she could "befriend" the new student. Then I realized we didn't even know the gender of the student.
"His name is Eragon." Oh great. I could see it now, Jillian trying to hit on Eragon. My musings were interrupted by the door opening. The voice of Mrs. Mowry said "This is your English class."
She turned to us and said, "Guys, this is Eragon. He is new here so please make him welcome.”
"Hey Eragon!" said Rebecca enthusiastically. When he spoke, it was with a strange accent that I couldn't place.
"Thank you." Those two words bounced around the room in the silence that followed.
"The rest of the period we will introduce ourselves and talk." said Mrs. Tate.
"Yay!” Rebecca cheered. We went around the room starting with Jillian.
"Hey, I'm Jillian Quigley and I live in Seattle. I love animals and Victoria Stillwell is my idle!" she said happily.
"Don't worry," I cut in swiftly before she got going, "you don't have to know who Victoria Stillwell is. She makes us watch it in the cottage." I tried to sound reassuring. Andy went next.
"Hey, what’s up? I'm Andy and I want to be a rapper." he mumbled. So far Eragon had said not a word. Rebecca went next.
"Hey, I'm Rebecca or Li Qin, I'm from China. I like listening to music and playing in band!" Still no response. What was up with this guy? I seriously hoped Tyler could get a response out of him and I was glad he was the next to go.
"Hey, I'm Tyler. I'm the Student Council President so don't hesitate to ask me any questions.”
"Thank you Tyler, I will most likely seek you out for any questions we may have." He finally said smoothly. What was up with the way he spoke? It was like he was from another time or something. I shrugged it off as it was at last, my turn.
"Hey, I'm Abby. I like reading and writing and listening to music. I live in Chapman Cottage so if you have any questions about the campus, you can come to me.”
"Thank you. I will pass what you said along to my companion." He spoke carefully as if he didn't want to give too much away. I vowed right then and there I would get to the bottom of this.

In this they will lose part of their sight and most of their powers. They are sent to a school for the blind where there are supposed people who could help them in the struggle to come. As they fight to figure out why they were sent there, they encounter modern marvels, teenage life at its weirdest, and a way of living that is both insightful and chaotic to experience. In this story you will see into the lives and perspectives of not just Eragon and Arya, but also people with real life visual problems and how they are just like you. This is a good story with lots of humor and maybe a kiss or two, depending on what you call a kiss. I don't know if tears will be shed, but maybe, you will get a new look at Arya and Eragon from our point of view.
Prologue
It was the last day. Eragon and Arya stood waiting for Brom and Oromis's orders to go and hopefully, enjoy the last day they would stay in Du Weldinvardin. There were rumors whispered that Nasuada was preparing for battle. Rumors most likely, but still both were anxious to see the truth for themselves. Brom and Oromis appeared out of the house Oromis lived in.
"We have decided to send you both on one last test. This is made to see if you can truly work as a team with both Arya and Saphira in unfamiliar terrain and culture. You might also find some recruits to help our cause. This people have magic within, even though they do not know this. You have two months to fulfill this mission and come back or all is lost, I fear." Oromis said this in a mild tone, although the statement was a shock for both Arya and Eragon.
"Where is this place, and what great people live there that are more qualified than our own?" asked Eragon.
"Not where exactly but when, this is a separate dimension from our world and in some ways more advanced in others they are less so. We are sending you to the 21st century to a land called America. You will be losing some of your sight and power to be more inconspicuous. Both of you will have physical transfermations, for in their world you are things of story and mith. Many a magical and mysttical being has wandered into their realm unprotected, and they were slaughtered, or hid away, and few rarely have lived on into this age of the race you will be sent to. Be wary for Galbatorix may know of such portals and guess at what is going on. May the stars watch over you, you leave immediately."
Enjoy, and happy reading!
