A/N: My first Scrap! This idea was from LAMCA- Literally! Originally, I was going to bring other chatacters from the game into the real world (like I did with Zant in the sequel), and some of them were going to be common enemies like Bulblins. I was going to try and make this story a little more serious and dramatic, and the result can be seen below. However, I was just beginning to learn how to write (well) when I created this, so it turned out . . . not as emotionally enthralling as I'd hoped (in my opinion, at least). Also, this was my experiment with a different POV- Link's, in this case. I was originally going to switch POVs throughout the course of the story, but I ended up just sticking to Alex's because, as you'll read, I couldn't seem to keep the characters, well . . . in character!

So, without further ado, enjoy the first Scrap!

Midna's Desperation

Link's POV

I was walking through the forest with Midna floating by my side, when I heard the distinctive sound of an arrow flying through the air. All of a sudden, Midna gasped out in pain and fell to the ground. I bent over and saw an arrow sticking out of her back, right between her shoulder blades. I whirled around and found her attacker, a bulblin archer, pointing another arrow straight at me. Luckily, I was faster than him, and I managed to whip out my bow and shoot an arrow straight through his heart, making him fall out of the tree. I turned back to Midna.

"Midna?" I said. I pulled the arrow out of her back. I don't know if that was the best idea, for she started bleeding profusely out of the open wound. I tore off a piece of my tunic, balled it up, and pressed it to her wound. I picked her up and cradled her in my arms, the temporary bandage still pressed to her back.

"Link?" Midna said weakly, barely managing to open her eye. "Link . . . it hurts."

"I know Midna, I know," I said, tears starting to gather at the corners of my eyes. No, I thought, I will not cry in front of Midna now. I must be brave.

"Link . . ." Midna said, clutching onto the fabric of my tunic. Then, she passed out.

"No! Oh, please, no!" I yelled as her breathing grew more erratic. I didn't know where to go, for we had gotten lost in the forest a long time ago. I pressed my forehead to hers and started to weep.

"Please don't die Midna. Please don't die," I wept. Just then, I heard footsteps running towards us. I reached for my sword, one hand clutching Midna protectively to my chest. I let go of my sword as Alex stepped through the trees.

"Link! Oh, I'm so glad I found you guys! I was looking for you when I saw a dead bulblin not to far back and- what happened to Midna?" Alex exclaimed after seeing Midna unconscious and breathing frantically.

"She was shot in the back with an arrow," I explained. "Please, Alex, you have to help her!"

"I don't know what to do!" Alex said, coming up to us.

"I said HELP HER!" I yelled, grabbing Alex by her collar and hoisting her into the air so she was looking into my eyes. I calmed down a tiny bit when I saw the fear in her eyes and put her down.

"Please," I pleaded. "I can't go on without her. Please, we need to save her."

"Well, I don't know . . . wait! Edward, Jake's brother! He's a doctor. He should be able to save Midna if we hurry!" Alex said.

"Take me to him!" I said, and Alex took off running. I followed after her, still holding Midna, praying that we would make it in time. We finally got there and we burst through the doors.

"Edward!" Alex said, running over and grabbing a doctor by his coat sleeve.

"Alex? What are you doing here?" he asked, turning to face us. His mouth dropped open when he saw me in my green tunic clutching Midna and holding the blood stained piece of cloth to her back.

"Please, you need to save her!" I said, ignoring the other people staring at us.

"Uh . . .," Edward said.

"Edward, please," Alex pleaded. "She got shot in the back with an arrow. You're the only one who can help her. Please!" There was a silence and then Edward said:

"But I don't even know what she is . . ."

"She's an imp, okay? She's just like a child in size. You've helped children before haven't you?" I asked, growing impatient. Midna's head flopped over to one side as I slightly relaxed my grip on her.

"Well, yes, but-"

"Then you can save her! Do it!" I growled, running over and shaking him by the front of his medical robe. Edward looked around at the crowd of people, then at me, and then at the dying Midna.

"Okay," he finally said. "I'll try. Give her to me." I carefully handed Midna over to him and started to follow him into the operating room.

"You can't come in. You'll need to wait outside," Edward said.

"But-" I started to say.

"I'll be able to save her faster if you aren't a distraction," Edward said. He smiled a reassuring smile at me. "Don't worry. She'll be okay." I watched as he carried my beloved Midna into the emergency room. Alex came over and guided me to a bench nearby. She held my arm as I started to cry. I let the tears flow, wondering if this was the last time I would ever see Midna alive again.


A/N: The next chapter will be the continuation of this Scrap, so don't worry- it doesn't end here! Look for it in about a week! Review, please! :)
