Okay ENJOY!
After Link and I had a trying day with the Ordon Goats we headed down to town. I was still atop Night Fury who had managed to almost get me head butted by an angry buck. But all in all the horse was slowly accepting my wild side and his own tame side.
I was proud of myself. I smiled as I felt the slow swaying of the stallion's gait. I looked over at Link who was staring straight ahead. I rolled my eyes and took my attention away from him. Well my physical attention anyways. This boy was different than anyone I'd ever meant before. He was strong willed and stubborn. I could see something else brewing inside him, but now I had no idea what it was. Soon though, I had a feeling I would, but it wasn't a good one.
As we made it back into town I spotted a girl who looked a year older than me. Link jumped down and went over to her. I watched as she embraced him. With a look that could kill she glared in my direction. I glared back.
She let go and Link beckoned to me to come over. "Hey, I want you to meet Ilia."
I jumped off Night Fury and went over to him, wary of this girl. "Hi, I'm Kelly, nice to meet you. I guess," The last bit was whispered and I gave her a steely gaze as she gave me one. She was taller than me, of course, she had sweepy honey brown-blonde and green eyes. Her ears were rounded unlike Link's, which I had just noticed with a start. Who were these people?
"The feeling's mutual," Was all she said.
"Uhh, well I'm starved, how 'bout we go eat?" Link suggested, nervously combing through his hair with his fingers at the tension between Ilia and myself.
"Oh, that's why I came out here. Hey Link do you want to come over to eat?" she glanced in my direction for a second and said, "Oh you can come to."
"Sure," Was all Link said and followed Ilia into a big house.
I followed Link closely, not trusting Ilia or her house. "Hey what's with the "Palace House"?" I asked.
"Ilia's father is the Mayor of Ordon Village," Link answered back as we entered a large dining area.
As I got closer I could smell warm breads and roasted meats. The table had a huge roast in the middle with smaller accompanying dishes. I couldn't tell what most of them were but I spotted Pumpkin Pie and I was sold. If I was poisoned tonight at least it was in my fav food.
"Hello Link! Ilia! And…." A booming voice said from the door that must lead to the kitchen. I squinted and saw a huge man with a tusk-like mustache, a bald head and a round belly.
I almost laughed out loud at his ridiculous appearance as I said my name. "I'm Kelly, nice to meet you Mr. …?"
"Just call me Mayor Bo! Now that introductions have been completed let's eat!" And the huge Mayor plopped down and started on what would be the beginning of his many helpings.
After we had eaten and everyone caught up on everything and I explained who I was. Well the part that I wasn't from here and that I wasn't sure why I was here either, so they pretty much thought that I had lost my memory, everyone except Link, who still hadn't questioned the way I'd come here.
"Well it's getting late we should probably get going," Link stood up. A huge crack rumbled above our heads and a sudden torrent or wind and what sounded like rain pounded the walls of the house.
Then there was a scream. And a warbling bugle sounded somewhere outside. Link looked at me and Mayor Bo and said three words: "We're being attacked."
Immediately after the words left his lips Mayor Bo leaped up and shouted at Ilia to stay inside then he ran somewhere in back and emerged with a nasty looking weapon. I looked to Link, but he was already making his way out side.
When we flung open the door chaos sliced into us. The sun was setting and bathing the whole village in an unearthly orange-red glow. I shivered as cold rain sprinkled my face, but also because of a high pitched wailing scream. Link ran out to Epona grabbing my hand on the way there.
"We have to get back to my house," He said, as he helped me on first then mounted himself.
"I'm not staying there, I'm helping!" I said firmly as we jumped into a ravenous pace.
"I'd prefer it, but I see it won't happen! We have to get weapons!" Link shouted over the clatter of hooves and battle.
But we didn't make it even to the pass. A large boar rammed into Night Fury and sent me flying from the saddle, the black stallion balanced on his hind legs and lashed out with his forelegs. It didn't stop the monster from coming for me though.
I watched as he strung a bow, notched it and let it fly. I swerved just in time and felt it whoosh by my head and land with a soft thud into the ground by my right foot. With shock still coursing through my body and adrenaline pumping stronger by the minute, I jumped up and ran. My cross country training kicked in and I was flying across the village towards anything that looked remotely like a weapon.
I came across a pitch fork and grabbed it just in time to turn around and block a sword attack from the same goblin rider. The sword pulled back and tried again at my head but I let it slid between the forks, were it got caught and I could twist it free from the enemy's hand.
The force of my wrenching threw the monster from the boars back. The horrifying animal squealed in anger and impaled his previous rider. Gagging, I grabbed the sword and fled towards my horse.
I spotted Night Fury galloping away into the woods and I let him go; safer there than here. So I turned my attention to the many villagers getting close to being slaughtered. With a terrifying war cry I ran into a goblin and stabbed it in the chest. It shrieked and grappled for my weapon, but I tore it out and watched as a liquid welled from the wound. The villager who I had just saved looked at me in horror, yet thanks as well.
"Go! Get a weapon and fight or flee!" I shouted.
The villager nodded and ran for their house. I looked for more in distress, but found that everyone had gone. The goblin creatures were gone except for one massive one on the largest boar I had seen. The boar was bigger than the werewolves on Twilight!
Suddenly Link crossed my thoughts. I hadn't seen him since I was knocked off Night Fury. Where was he? Did he fall? Was he captured? Did he flee! All my answers were answered as I saw Epona leap from an overhanging cliff and land inches from the enemy. Link raised an ax and chopped at it.
In horror I watched as the goblin thing used the horns on top of his helmet to stab Link's shoulder and throw him from his horse. With a silent thud he landed a few feet from me.
"LINK!" I screamed. He didn't move and I thought the worse, but suddenly a moan drifted towards me. "Link!" I finally went towards him, one eye watching the enemy.
When I reached Link I could see a nasty gash from his shoulder halfway down his bicep. "Link, oh my God, we need to get you out of here," I mumbled as I tore some of my garment to wrap part of the wound in.
"Don't worry about me, watch him." He raised a finger at the goblin who had jumped from his armored boar and started walking towards us. Link got up and moved in front of me, one hand holding his gash.
"Link, don't," I whispered angrily in his ear. All he did was looked me in the eyes. I didn't complain again.
"What do you want King Bulbin!" Link shouted at the lumbering figure at least eight feet tall.
"You," He said pausing. "And her," He said his voice deep and dark.
I looked up when he said "And her". Why would this creature that looked like something from a fiction book want me? I didn't even want to be here. Okay, maybe a little, but only because I didn't want to face what happened back home. Anger mounted inside me and I stood up in front of this thing.
"Well guess what buddy! You ain't gettin' no one!" I shouted as I lifted my sword and rushed at him. He parried my attack and sent me shuffling backwards. I knew he was just playing; he had the strength to throw me into in a house.
"Kelly, don't," Link said sternly grabbing my ankle.
"I don't want to," I hissed, keeping eye contact with our attacker.
Link only looked at me. He then rose and stood next to me, his hand holding a dagger. His face was skillfully woven into a painless expression, only hatred and anger shone through.
I watched in awe. This boy was…was…different, but in a way I couldn't explain or begin to understand. We both glanced at each other than with a flick of his wrist we were running at the king, surrounding him as we hacked at his thick flesh. Blackish liquid oozed from the cuts as we slashed, dodging his huge horns and hands.
But all good things must come to an end. In a moment's hesitation from myself I was caught off guard and I found myself flying head over heels into a house. I stiffened against the pain that racked through my body as I hit the wall with a tremendous impact. I thought I heard something crack, but as I moved I found that nothing hurt. That's when I saw Link screaming, holding his dagger arm.
I looked at everything, burning houses, dead goblin things, and boars and the ghost town feeling to the village, all having only a couple hours before been peaceful and inhabited. Tears streamed down my face when I saw how hopeless we must look to them. I cringed as the king kicked Link over.
Link didn't get up.
Oh my God. What is going to happen to us? Why is this happening! Damn it! I screamed into my mind. I felt the ground rumble as King Bulbin stomped towards me. I screamed as he gripped my hair to pull me up from the ground and used momentum to throw me beside Link.
I didn't move. I couldn't. What was happening wasn't real. I was in a nightmare and I was going to wake up. The storm last night was a freak thunderstorm that destroyed my home. Not a man in full armor who killed my family. I was knocked out by something heavy and had dreamed it all up. I was in a hospital now with a coma and was only dreaming. I was only dreaming. This is all a nightmare. It's only a dream!
But it wasn't. A horn bellowed in the air and I felt the air grow thick. Before I blacked out I saw the sky open up and something black and tentaclly fall out and walk towards us. Before I blacked out I thought of one thing. We were going to survive this no matter what. We weren't going to die.
