thww: Here's chapter 2.
Aerona: YAY!
thww: You are very peppy.
Aerona: You designed me.
thww: O_o Anyway, all Zelda characters go to Nintendo. Aerona's character belongs to me!
Vaati: I wanted to do that! :-(
thww: I'll let you do it next chapter!
Vaati: Ok. :-)
Vaati's P.O.V.
That girl, Aerona, released me. I am finally able to exact my vengeance on the Hero, Link. As I carried her to Castle Town, I felt powerful magic in her. This girl will be of great use to me, I can tell. As I arrived in Castle Town, I checked to be sure she had Rupees for the inn.
It was nightfall, and the inn was reluctant to let us stay. I had to cut open the girl's arm before I walked into the inn. I told them she was playing in the forest and was attacked by a Deku Baba.
They tried to summon a doctor but he couldn't arrive till the morning. I paid with the Rupees she had. There was only one bed in the room, so I placed her next to me and fell asleep.
Aerona's P.O.V.
I wake up to the sun on my face. Vaati startled me when his arm touched my face. I fell out the bed and hit my head really hard on the floor. "Ow!" I said. I climbed back into the bed and woke Vaati up. There were bandages on my arm. "What did you do?!"
"That was the only way this place would let us stay. The story is that you were playing in the forest and were attacked by a Deku Baba. I found you half conscious and brought you here to get help. They summoned a doctor last night and he wouldn't be here until morning. Act like you have no idea who I am."
"O-ok." He created a concerned look when the doctor arrived.
"Hello. How are you?" The doctor asked.
"Fine," I replied.
"And your arm?"
"How should I know?! You're the doctor!"
"Hahaha! Yes, I know. Let me take a look at your arm." I undid the bandages and showed him. A surprised look came over his face. "You are one lucky girl."
"What?!"
"Deku Baba's normally attack with poison, but this one did not. Oh yes, the princess has summoned you two as well. Put new bandages on that and I will escort the two of you there."
"Yes sir." A look of relief appeared on my face. I'm glad I get to see Zelda instead of being questioned by the doctor. Zelda, Link, and I are very good friends. Vaati put on the bandages like he knew what he was doing. I didn't trust him, especially when he said,"You will be of great use to me."
"We're ready!" I called. He showed us the way to the castle even though I tried to explain that I already knew Princess Zelda and her guard, Link. Vaati had a surprised look when I said Link's name. He brought us all the way to the castle gates.
Vaati whispered,"You are a great actor. Keep acting like you don't know me."
I whispered back,"That might not be possible. Zelda can get an answer out of anyone. She's wise as well. She can tell a lie from a mile away."
"Damn! Well, try it anyway."
"Ok." I don't lie to Zelda. Never have, never wanted to. I don't get why Vaati is acting like this, I just hope he has a good enough reason.
We walked into the castle throne room, and Zelda rushed to me and gave me a hug. Link followed. "Were you crying?!" I asked. Zelda's sapphire eyes looked red and puffy. Her golden blonde hair was in a mess as well.
Link said,"She was really worried. A few days ago, she sent a letter that said you shouldn't go through the forest to get to the castle, and that there was something in there you're not supposed to go near. I guess you didn't get that message."
'Oops!' I thought. "What was it?"
"Some sort of temple."
'Phew!'
Zelda walked up to me,"Thank the Goddesses you're ok. I'm glad you're wearing the dress I gave you. Purple suits you well." She looked at Vaati,"Thank you for saving Aerona."
When Vaati came into the light, Link had a distrustful look on his face. Vaati said,"You're welcome, Princess."
"Aerona, may I speak to you and Link alone? I need to discuss matters with the two of you."
"Of course," I replied. 'Sounds important!'
"What is your name?" Zelda asked Vaati.
"Vale."
"Vale, please wait here. Aerona, Link, please follow me." We followed Zelda to an empty room near the throne room.
"What's up?" I asked. "Is something wrong?"
"I sensed evil gathering when you arrived. Were you really attacked by a Deku Baba in the forest?"
I put on a very serious look,"Yes, Zelda, I was. If it wasn't for Vale..."
"I don't like him," Link stated. "Something about Vale doesn't feel quite right."
"But he saved Aerona. I don't think he could be bad if he saved her," Zelda assured Link. "Aerona you and Vale should stay here tonight. You should go home tomorrow."
"What about Va... Vale?" I asked. I almost said Vaati.
"He will stay here, unless you would have him stay with you..."
"He can stay here, I guess." Though, I was worried with what he'd do here, but I don't want to be "of use" to him at all.
thww: That's the end of chapter 2! How was it?
Vaati: Good.
Aerona: Why am I so good at acting?
thww92: Character designs :-P! Next chapter, Shadow Link appears, Vaati attacks!
