The Cell
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Link limp body lay in front of the beast. The wolf was about the clench his jaw around his arm, when suddenly Jode stabbed the beast. The wolf fell in the howling and whimpering, causing a sever to rush through Link as well. The pain of the sword though his chest caused Link to regain conscieness, letting his body be bathed in the intense pain.
Link wasn't awake for long. Someone or something smashed a large rock into the back of his head.
He passed out again into a deeper state then before.
The stranger then came for Midna.
Midna moved her head upwards, in turn uncurling herself from fetal position, to see the meance coming for her.
The man was wearing a long black robe with bloodstains on the front. The hood was up, which made it impossible to see who this man was. He had a long sword on his right hip. The wolf followed by the side of the strange man.
"Maybe I could crawl away. Let's face it I'm dead." Midna thought. "I've got to try something."
Midna tried to hover from the bush, but realized she couldn't fly anymore. So she decided to run. She ran as fast she could, but it wasn't fast enough.
The stranger threw a knife at her. It went though her right arm. She flew back into the wall of rock. The knife had imbedded itself in her arm and the wall behind her. She was trapped.
"Ahhh!" Midna screamed, in pain and horror. She struggled to try to break free to the knife piercing her arm.
"No more running, princess." The man had a smooth and calm voice.
"Please let Link go. You can take me just leave him alone. Please…" Midna made what she thought would be her last plea. She gave up trying to break free, for the more she tried the more the knife hurt.
"I'm afraid that's not going to happen. You see I need both of you and your other halves." He said pacing in front of Midna.
"Other…halves…?" Midna was finding it hard to breath. The fear rose in her mind that she was dying of blood loss.
"Yes that's what I said." He stopped walking and observed the princess's current condition. "You know yours Princess Zelda. Well and of course you know Link's." He gestured to the wolf sitting patiently on side of the man. "As you can see I have one, but I need all four of you to complete my plan." He smiled. "And it must be my lucky day, because as you see, I have three of the four. All I need now is Zelda." His grin became broader.
Midna started gasping for air. The loss of blood was getting to her. Her eyes lids became heavy. She fell unconscious.
The man chuckled.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"How did I get here? Maybe I should just lay here. I could die here. I'll never see my friends or family or…Link" Thoughts flooded through Midna's mind, she was going to die, that much she knew for sure.
Midna opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry. She felt a sick turn in her stomach; it was as if there was a knot in it. She slowly regained her vision. Midna tried to look around but found this painful. Every inch of her small body ached with intense pain. She was on her side lying on a freezing stone floor.
"I'll just close my eyes again…" as soon as she did she heard another voice.
"Midna. Are you alright?" It was Link she knew his voice very well.
"Link….I.." That's Midna was able to mutter out. She opened her eyes.
"It's alright." Link sounded very close but she didn't know where he was.
She used what strength she had to sit up and glance around the room. The room was very dark, consisting only of stone floors and walls. There was one window that's had bars covering it. The one wall had a barred door; the only light came into the room from a candle right outside the door. This was a prison.
Midna listened to the helpless screams, whimpers and pleas they other people in the cells all around her. She was scared and confused she wanted to scream and wake up from this horrible nightmare.
Emerging from the darkness was a familiar face; Link. He had scratches all over his face. And where the wolf had attacked him, Midna could see the bone in his. There was a hole that seems from what Midna could see that went right throw his chest. His normal green tunic was nearly covered in blood.
Midna started to cry again.
"You're crying again." Link smiled a weak smile.
"If I never made you go on this mission you would be-."
"I wouldn't be with you." Link cut her off.
"That would be a good thing. Look at yourself. You're hurt." She fought back tears.
"If I didn't come, I would have never forgiven myself to leave you alone when something like that happens."
"You could have died!" Midna exclaimed no longer fighting the tears.
"I would have gladly died for you; to save you."
Midna tried to run to him to hug him but she was stopped at alarming an rate. She looked down there was a chain around her ankle preventing her from moving any closer to him. She was left two feet away from him.
"I glad to see your ok." Link tried to lighten the conversation after seeing Midna's depression.
"I'M OK?" Midna stood up. "I'M AN IMP." She fell to her knees in anguish. Midna pounded her small fists against the hard rock.
"Midna, calm down." Link reached over as far as her could to touch her fist.
She stopped hitting the floor and just held Link's hand.
"Your right." Midna let go of his hand because she could see he was straining his weak body reaching to her.
"Who was it?" Link asked.
"Who?"
"The one who whacked me in the back of the head." Link rubbed his head where he was hit.
"Oh, I don't know his name." She sighed; she wished she had asked that. "He said something about the other halves of us. You know my other half is Zelda and yours is your wolf half."
Link nodded. "I think I get it they are the opposite halves of us, right?"
"Yeah" Midna exclaimed.
"Well that's probably why I felt pain everything the wolf was stabbed because it was a part of me." Link pondered this for a moment.
"Wait, so every time I get hurt. I hurt…." She paused and in almost a whisper. "Zelda. Oh my god, what have I done!" Midna stared blindly at the floor.
"It's not your fault. You didn't know" Link gave her comforting eyes.
"All this time….I was hurting her, not helping….I'm ashamed…." Midna looked up at Link.
"We'll just have to be extra careful to keep you and Zelda safe, right?" Link smirked.
Midna giggled "Right." Even when she laughed she felt guilty.
"I hurt her…" Midna thought.
"You seem tried." Link added yawning.
She nodded
"Ok then, we'll sleep till one of us thinks of a plan."
"Yes, Commander Link." Midna curled up as close to Link as the chains would allow.
Link fell asleep fast, but Midna was having terrible time trying to fall asleep. The morns and groans of the people made it hard to sleep, but the most annoying was the men next cell over. He was singing a medley of depressing songs in an off key voice.
"Ummm…sir." Midna made her way over to the bar door.
The man stuck his head out the bars. He looked very elderly. "Yes. You know, I do take requests."
"I have a request. Why don't you shut up?" Midna gave a rotten attitude to the elderly man.
"Well I can see you haven't been here long." The man brushed the top of his brow.
"Why do you say that?" Midna had calmed down; her voice was mellow.
"Everyone knows why I sing."
"Why?"
"To drowned out the sound out the sick, criers, and the tortured." The man shushed his voice when talking now. "Listen."
Midna listened to the screams off the people.
"OH, PLEASE GOD SPARE ME! PLEASE…AAHH!" The scream of the man was cut short.
"Take him to the pit." Another man said to another about the lifeless body.
A different group of people caught Midna's ear.
"I WANT OUT!" A girl, who sounded like a teen, screamed.
A passing solider came to her. "You want out, well that's just too damn bad."
"Please." The girls voice was fading.
"Oh, how about this we kill you tomorrow and end your misery." The solider chucked a deep and evil laugh.
"Ahhh…Pl…Plea…Please make it stop." Midna didn't want to hear the despair of the others. "I want you to sing. Loud." Midna closed her eyes to try to escape the voices.
"With pleasure, my princess." The man nodded.
"How did you know I was the princess?" She opened her eyes and leaned closer to the steel bared door.
The man winked and leaned back into his cell.
Midna choose to not question then man and just let him sing.
"I should try to fall asleep, maybe tomorrow will be better." She made her way to the corner. She laid her head on the frigid stonewall. Midna lowered her eyelids until the room had disappeared. She fell into a light sleep.
