Hey I'm getting reviews on this thing! ^_^ A miracle to be sure.

Hm....o.O' it IS hard to imagine Bowser taking over Corneria isn't it?Uuuuhhhnn....

Oh yea!That could be explained later on. : / Yea that's it...I think...

o.O'

Holy crap that was huge.

I'll shut up now.-.-'

Oh and also I'm going to be using Carrie-type thought things...If you've read the

book,you'll know what I'm talking about.

Chapter 3(wow chapter three?!)

Ann stepped hurriedly through the rain,glancing around anxiously at the Shadows

stationed everywhere.She shouldn't even be out now,she warned herself.She was only

raising suspicion.

And THAT she did not need.Not with Link there now.

Something wet touched her arm and her eyes widened,her mouth forming a curse.She

looked around,more anxiously now,and gathered the pitiful rags of her coat around

her more closely.

It was time to go home.

Remb or no Remb,she couldn't risk being seen right now.Walking a little quicker,

but still not fast enough to draw attention,she turned and made her way back home.

Back at the house,now feeling a little more secure in a tiny closet,she

desperately tried to get herself dry.If Link woke up while she was still in here,

she would have to wait until he went to sleep again before she could come out.She

was concerned that Remb was not at the house,yet in light of her current position,

somewhat relieved.She scrubbed at her changed skin,but stopped abruptly.

Link was waking up.

(i take it it was raining)

(sh)

There was silence for a moment,then the springs creaked as Link sat up on the old

mattress.He stretched,then realizing Ann still was not back,he laid back down,

rolled to his side,then drifted off again.(Would Link really sleep that long?....

o.O')

"What do you want to know?"

(i was wondering why the sheild broke down was it raining)

"Yes.It was."

Silence.

"I didn't mean to get wet,so you can keep your lecture to yourself."

(i did not come to lecture)

"That's what you always say."

(and this time it is true)

Ann turned to gaze at the wall,eyes taking on a hazy look.

She whispered,"Then why did you come?"

(i....was...worried)

Ann smiled down at her hands,"It is good to know I am still remembered of,"she

sighed,standing up,"But I must be leaving now."

(you are not dry)

"Dry enough.I have to eat something before I get sick.Besides,Link is still

sleeping.And if Remb comes,I'm sure he'll be hungry."

(ill come to check up on you later?)

She smiled,"Sure."

She turned back to the door and opened it slowly,carefully trying not to make any

noise.Link was still asleep,one of his arms hanging somewhat uncomfortably off

the side of the cot.She gave a small smile and crept into the dining room to wait

out the day.

Link woke up not too long after Ann had crept into the other room.He'd had a

strange dream he told her.About some kind of monster.It had had long arms that

reached out to the earth,the horizon,and up to the sky.It was dark in the dream,so

he couldn't see much of it.He was using some old pieces of paper to try and draw

it now.

"It's strange....aren't monsters supposed to be frightening?"

Ann nodded as she tried to fix something edible,though Link had long given up on

the possibility of ever finding something of the sort on the table.Indigestion and

heartburn were common in the home.(^_^')

Link had once offered to cook,but she was reluctant to let him try.She seemed

convinced that if she tried her best enough times,she'd be able to make some worth

eating.

"Well,"Link continued his dream,"the monster.....it wasn't frightening at all....

It was...."he searched for the word.

"Comforting?"Ann did not look up for her suggestion.

Link blinked,thinking up the definition and replied,"Yes,that's the word.And it

was so....familiar.It was almost as if I'd seen it before.Or something..."He looked

up at Ann,away from his picture."Do you know what I mean?"

Ann frowned at the instructions she was reading,though Link couldn't see her,"I'm

not sure Link..."

He could hear the impatience in her voice,nearly bursting with it yet seemingly

not there at all.

"Is something wrong?"

"What?"

"Is something wrong?"

"No.No nothing's wrong.Everything's fine."She sighed and pushed some of her hair

out of her eyes as she stood up.She could see Link's disbelieving look and knew it

wouldn't hurt to tell him.

"Remb never came,Link.And I'm worried about him."

"Well maybe he's running a little late?"

"Yes.Maybe,but...."she gave him a tired look,"In these times you never can tell..."

The last note said somewhat sadly.

Link never could understand why she seemed so sad when she talked of how bad things

were 'these days.'

Another puzzling thing was the familiarity he had started to feel around her.Almost

as if he'd met her before.Which could very well be possible,seeing as he still could

not remember much from before he met Ann.

But wouldn't she had told him if they had met before?

And if she had chosen not to,why?

Something,deep inside his soul,told him that there was indeed an answer,and he hoped

it would present itself soon.

He didn't like the feeling of having something kept from him.

And he felt that was exactly what Ann was doing.

Woo!Chapter 3!I must finish this one for I have passed the line of no turning back..

::hangs head in doom::

If that made since...-_-'
