Chapter 3
Link was still sitting against the wall when he returned. The torch had been relit and noise was coming from outside the jail cell. Link looked for a door or even bars, but all that was there were tall walls and the torch.
Saria's limp body still lay to the side of the room, near the new figure. Saria no longer bled, signaling that she was fully dead. Her green dress now drenched in her own blood, started to smell really bad.
Link walked over to her and gave her a kiss on her forehead. He gave her one last hug, and went to go examine the new figure.
Link approached it carefully incase it was dangerous.
The figure looked up at Link and smiled. Its eyes shined with excitement and happiness.
Link, also very happy, hugged the figure, causing it to wince in the terrible pain that it was in.
"Oh, I'm so sorry Malon! Did I hurt you?" Link asked, sadness rising back up in him. He didn't want another friend to die.
"Ugh, no, I'm fine. Just, I got hurt on my way in and I can't move that much right now. I'm so happy to see you Link!" Malon said as she kissed Link's nose.
Link bushed a little, but fortunately, it wasn't visible in this light. Link liked Malon since he was a young, happy child.
"It's great to see you too." Link replied happily with a smile and tilt of his head.
Link sat down next to her and started to chat. They talked about where they were, how the room wasn't lit well enough, and how they both wanted to be back home.
After awhile Malon fell asleep with her head on Link's shoulder, her soft, orangish-brown hair falling over Link. Link smiled and put his head against the wall, thinking of a way to get out. He fell asleep thinking, not knowing what terrible thing waited for him in the morning.
Link blinked awake to find the room well lit and Malon walking around, waiting for Link.
"Oh Link! You're awake! I thought of a way to get out!" Malon said excitedly, running towards Link.
"What did you think of?" Link asked while rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. He yawned, and then stood up and straightened out his tunic.
"We could burn the place down with that torch! Then, we could… Link, why do you have a weird expression on your face?" Malon asked expectantly.
Link was staring at a tiny hole in the corner where light was streaming in. He didn't hear Malon.
"Link! What are you looking at?" Malon yelled.
"Shut up! I'm thinking!" Link screamed while walking towards the hole. He tried looking in it. He could see Hyrule Field!
"Malon! I know how we get out! We blow up the wall, and escape into Hyrule field!" Link explained.
"What do we use to blow the wall up?" Malon asked. She walked towards Link and the hole.
"I'll use part of my tunic to start a fire with the torch, and put some of those bombs over there by this hole! It has to work! And no Malon, we cannot use the torch because it will transform the room and we'll be somewhere else." Link explained.
Link walked over to the torch and tore off the bottom of his tunic and set it on fire. While Link was doing that, Malon took the bombs and placed them by the hole.
Link walked back to the hole, and dropped the flaming tunic and dropped it on the bombs.
"Malon! Get over here! The bombs could hurt you!" Link yelled as he ran to the other side of the jail cell. He looked back, Malon was still moseying her way over, not realizing that she could be killed in a matter of seconds.
Link ran towards her and pushed her to the corner away from the bombs, causing him to be caught in the explosion.
When the dust cleared, Malon ran over to check on Link.
"Oh my gosh Link! Are you okay?" Malon looked seriously worried when she asked that. No reply from Link.
"Link?" Malon asked, tears forming in her eyes. Link coughed and opened his eyes to look up at Malon.
"I'm fine. Just, the explosion hurt me a little." Link said as he sat up. He looked at the wide gap in the wall that was allowing them to escape.
Link stood with the pain returning to his chest. He stammered a few steps, then he walked normal.
"Okay! Let's go!" Link said as he walked through the gap. Malon ran after him, wanting to make sure he doesn't fall again.
Malon was at the gap when a dark fog started to separate her and Link.
"Link! Help!" Malon yelled as the fog started to materialize into a wall.
"Malon!" Link yelled as he ran towards Malon.
"Link!" She yelled as the wall closed her in. Link was too late. He didn't get her in time, she's trapped.
