Ok this story is a side story to another story I'm writing.In this story,Link disapperas for a while and this is supposed to tell

what happened to him during that time.And I swear Ann is not a Mary Sue,or an original character!

o.O' Actually it'll make alot more sense once I get the real story up here....





Dark blue eyes opened for a split second,then closed quickly against the

swirling mess before them.Dizziness washed over

Link,who felt suddenly overwhelmed with nausea.Something cool was laid on his

forehead and he opened his eyes again,straining to see without throwing up.

Someone stood above him,the source of the cool object,and he felt a small prick

in his right arm.Sleep claimed him almost immediately.

The next time Link woke up he found himself on a rather uncomfortable cot,

covered in a plain sheet.He looked around,unsteadily,then realized he was

wearing something different than his normal clothes.

Tap,tap.

He frowned.What in the world was that?

Tap,tap,tap,tap,tap.

Link looked around,still frowning,for the noise.

Tap,tap,tap,tap.

Finally he noticed the girl.She sat at a desk with something on the top.It was

making tapping noises.She was short,with long white hair tied in a pony tail.Her

eyes were green and covered up by slim glasses with dark frames.She wore a dark

red cap on her head.

Link stared at her until she seemed to notice he was up and turned to him in her

chair.

"Um..hello...,"he said uncertainly.

"Hello,"she replied,"Are you thirsty.....or hungry?"

He shook his head and instead asked,"What is your name?"

The girl looked taken aback,almost hurt,and Link feared he'd said the wrong thing

but she answered,"My name is Ann.

What's yours?"

He thought hard....but nothing came up.

"I....don't remember,"he said,frowning and looking back at the object on her desk.

"That's ok,you did get hit on the head pretty hard."

"Where am I?"He didn't quite hear her last sentence.

"You're......in my house."

"Which is where?"

"Corneria,"she replied casually.

Link raised an eyebrow,"Aren't you a little different than the others around here?"

He paused,"Hey...I remember that..I remember Corneria."

Ann didn't answer,but instead finished whatever she was doing.Link tried another

question.

"How did I get here?"

"I found you,"she said simply,"I think you were sick because you'd eaten food

you weren't supposed to.You have to be careful here,Link."

There was something in the way she said his name that made him realize something.

Fear rose in his voice.

"Am I supposed to be somewhere?"

She looked back at him and said,"Not at the moment,"she paused,"I am afraid

you'll have to hide some while you are here.

Bad people sometimes come to look for outsiders..."

"Bad people?Where will I hide?"

"These people can find you in virtually any place you hide,but I have a friend

who is capable of making a place for you to

be nonexistant almost,"she smiled mirthlessly and the edge of her glasses glinted

in the light from the thing on her desk,"She is....very intelligent to say the

least....Do you think you can stand?"

He nodded and she helped him sit up.He noted that he was wearing a long shirt

made of a light fabric and some loose pants.Ann noticed his expression and

said,"Sorry,but your clothes needed to be washed.I changed you because no one

else was around."

Link felt his cheeks burn red.

She laughed,"I grew up with four brothers.Believe me,there is nothing I have not

seen."

She helped him to his feet and stopped him from swaying.Link found her grip to

be surprisingly strong and they stayed in the same position until the world

stopped swimming in front of him,then Ann led him to the kitchen.

"What would you like to eat?"Link looked back at Ann and shrugged,"I don't mind."(What DOES Link eat? o.O')

"Well then,I guess I could choose something.While that is cooking,I will make

you a disguise so no one can possibly recognize you."She said the last bit

somewhat proudly,a smile lighting her face.

As she cooked,Link watched her.She didn't seem to have much experience cooking,

though her hand movements were swift,coordinated.They reminded him of Fox or

Falco,messing with their guns while Link had watched,usually wondering what on

earth made those things work.

Fox.

Falco.

Who were they?

He stood up quickly,suddenly confused and feeling incredibly helpless.Ann turned

to look at him,startled."Is something wrong?"

"I-I shouldn't be here!I need to be getting to someone!"

Ann tried to calm him down,"Hey,hey wait!I can assure you,nothing is wrong.There

is absolutely nowhere you need to be at the time."

Link stopped,"Not anywhere at all?"

"No,only here,recovering from that food,"she replied gently,a soft smile lighting

her features.

Link relaxed,"So they're safe?"He only vaguely wondered why he was so worried now.

Ann nodded,"For the time.Now-"

Link suddenly pointed behind her.

Ann turned around and jumped in the air at the sight of the inside of the oven.

The bread she had been baking was bubbling up,looking about ready to burst.She

grabbed at her face and shouted,"Oh my God!"then jumped to turn off the oven.Link,

while she was doing this,was scrambling to keep the milk from tipping over or the

cheese from melting,as it was on top of the oven.When everything was finally

under control,Ann looked over at him,sweatdropped(How else do you explain that?)

and said,"Well...let's eat out shall we?"

Well that was the first chapter!Am I boring you yet?o.O'

AND I SWEAR,ANN IS NOT A MARY SUE!SHE'S NOT EVEN AN ORIGINAL CHARACTER!er

well..she sorta is...but...IT-IT'LL ALL MAKE SENSE ONCE I GET THE MAIN STORY UP

HERE!

R+R please? o.O'
