Three chances, three left

Chapter I

*Corona P.O.V*

"Damn it Corona! Get your act together! You're not gonna get captured by that wind mage! You're too worthless to be noticed by anyone like him! So stop crying and get up before I punch you and end up knocking you out cold!"

"WAH! I'M SORRY DREAD! I'M SORRY!"

"Stop apologizing! I can't believe you're even still alive. With the amount of crying you do somebody should've put both of us out of our misery by killing you. At least until you were reborn I'd have some peace and quiet."

I sniffled a bit, and got up, wiping away stary tears, silent sobs racking my body. I didn't want to get hit by Dread again. I'd already suffered a beating from him the night before, I didn't need another one so soon after waking up from a terrifying nightmare.

"Finally! Now let's go! I dont' wanna hear that stupid stomach of your's growling. If I do, we're going back to sleep deprivation. So get a damn move on!"

I flinched, and started walking out of the cave I'd used to sleep in the night before, the chain coming out of my bracelet and connecting to Dread's gloved right hand jangling.

Yes, I said chain.

Dread and I had been chained to each other in every single one of my lives, ever since I was born in each one. So I'd always hear his voice insulting me, and I'd always feel his blows when ever he lost it with me. The results of one of his beatings from last night left me with my dress skirt being torn at my knees, showing off the chain mail I had on underneath and all of the black boots I wore. A bruise could be seen on my arm, and quite a few cuts were on my face. Whomever had called me beautiful in any of my past lives wouldn't be able to do so now with the sight I was. Then again, I'd be too terrified of them and then run away before they would even have the chance to speak to me.

"Helloooo?! Earth to retard over there! Quit spacing out when I'm talking to you!"

"Ahh! Sorry sorry sorry!"

"As I was trying to say, there's a camp fire over there, and I think I see someone over there. We're gonna scare them into giving us what food they had."

"B-but...That means..."

"We're doing it no matter what stupid little fear you have! So go over there right now, or you're losing the top part of the dress and I'll parade you around a bunch of drunks!"

"A-alright! I-I will! Just please don't do it! You know I don't like it when you say you're gonna do that kind of stuff to me!"

"Tough noggies for you then! Now get your ass moving!"

I whimpered, and walked towards the campfire, once again the urge to scream out for help showing up in me like it had for a while. It was one person in particular though, not some random stranger, but I could never remember his name. I could remember what he looked like the last time I saw him though. Rough rouge looking face, brown blonde hair, sky blue eyes, a green tunic, a strange hat, boots, basically the look of an adventurer who'd been at it for a while. I knew the guy somehow, but I could never hear his name in any memories I had of him.

Finally, Dread and I could both see the camp fire, and I about screamed when I saw who it was.

"D-dread, can we hunt please?" I whispered, hoping not to be heard by him.

"No, you'll just freak out and start crying again like you always do. So we're scaring this guy. And if you freak out during this then you're going hungry."

"Please Dread, I'm begging you." I was ready to cry out of pure terror, and I felt tears trying to stream down my cheeks again.

"WE'RE DOING THIS LIKE I SAID!" With that, he punched me in the back of the head, causing me to cry out in pain and to fall over into the clearing, and into his line of sight. Forgetting about him for a minute, I curled up into a ball and put my hands on my head again, just incase Dread was going to turn this into another beating. I felt him kick me, and more blows were sent towards me. Then there was a sudden gust of wind, and I felt a tug on my left hand. I heard Dread let out a grunt of pain, and then I opened my eyes, feeling tears fall free.

"Don't cry miss, I won't let him hurt you."

I looked up and saw a violet tinted hand reaching out, and I whimpered again and flinched.

"Are you okay? Did he harm you even more than I thought?"

"P-please don't hurt me..." I felt the tears falling even faster on my cheeks, and the sobs started up.

"I won't hurt you. It's obvious that who ever you're chained to has done that enough."

How could he be so nice when I've only heard horrible things about him. How?! How?!

"P-please stay back!"

"Why are you so frightened of me?"

"Hey, it's my job to scare her! Not your's! W-wait a minute...Corona! Why didn't you tell me sooner!"

"I-I tried! You wouldn't listen to me no matter what I did! Please don't hit me again! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

"Corona...Ah, the spirit swordswoman."

How he knew my name, I didn't want to find out. I only wanted to run and hide and just stay there and either die or wait for him to leave.

The man was the wind mage that'd been doing all sorts of horrible things in Hyrule.

And now here he was protecting me from Dread almost like he did it everyday.

They've found each other

He might save her before you do

Hurry Link

Before you lose this one

And she dies early once again
