Another chapter up! Kay important message to whoever is reading my SiH story. It will be on temporary hiatus probably until August or even after September. Reason being is because I've kinda lost intrest in it and I need to take a break from it. But I also have some gooooood news! I'm writing another new story. Don't know what the plot line is yet but I know it'll be a 'tag-along' story like this one and it will take place in Wind Waker. So I'll let you read this chapter of TWatF!

Disclaimer- I don't own Zelda but I do own Celeste and any changes to the plot I make.

Warning- more swearing than usual in this chappy!

(A/N: Edited as of Dec 2/11 same goes for the chapters before this and the one after this.)


The Wolf and the Fox: Chapter 4, Poisonous Dreams

"Ugh wh-where am I?" Celeste pushed herself off the ground and sat up looking around. As her vision cleared she saw that she wasn't in the Forest Temple anymore. Actually she was in a different country all together; she was back at home in Holodrum.

"I'm glad you're awake." Celeste whipped out her staff and swung it in a wide arch around her. She gasped as a pale-skinned hand caught it.

"V-Vaati?" Celeste pulled her staff back and bowed low to the Wind Mage. Vaati frowned and kneeled down to the girl's height.

"No need to be formal." said the Wind Sage. Celeste nodded then stood up.

"Why am I here?" asked Celeste looking around. "I don't remember ever falling asleep while I was in the Forest Temple." Vaati took her left arm and pushed the fallen sleeve up. Celeste bit her lip when she saw two purple-black fang marks. There were thin black lines that were spread from the bite marks to her upper arm.

"You really worried me." he muttured. Celeste shivered at her lord's demon like voice.

"Stop with the small talk. Why did you bring me here?" asked Celeste narrowing her eyes. Vaati sighed then beckoned the girl to follow him. He led her through Horon Village, not even bothering to move out of the villager's way. Celeste smiled as she walked the familiar streets and past the bustling market stands. The people who inhabited the village however did not notice the two as they walked through the streets. They just went on doing their daily business. As Vaati and Celeste walked the houses started to thin and they came to a large beach.

"The Western Coast!" Celeste ran out to the edge of the water and stood there letting the soft ocean breeze blow through her hair. "I haven't been here since I left for Hyrule."

"Yes I haven't talked to you since then…" said Vaati drifting off.

"So why'd you bring me here?" asked Celeste picking up a stone and tossing it into the surf.

"Your family has been loyal to Ganon and I since that damned boy Link and his talking hat destroyed me all those years ago." explained the Wind Sorcerer.

"Though people think your family just talk well of their lords they've actually been working behind the scenes, trying to find a way to bring us back."

"I know the history of my own family," grumbled Celeste. "Why are you lecturing me?"

"I hate to say this Celeste. But I'm starting to doubt your loyalty."

"What?"

oooOOOooo

"I wonder if it was a good idea to leave Celeste alone with only Midna. I mean Midna can't do anything if a monster attacks them. She's just a shadow." Link sighed then took another bite of some bread he'd gotten from Uli. He'd just beaten the possessed monkey and had gotten the Gale Boomerang. "Oh well guess I'll just have to finish this Temple quickly."

Link threw his new boomerang at a small windmill type thing three times before the gate blocking the exit lifted. He came out a large forest gorge and turned right. He stopped at the edge of the cliff and waited for the gale force winds to blow the bridges the right way. He quickly crossed them and leaped up into the air and preformed a jump attack on an unsuspecting bokoblin. It fell to the ground and burst into black stuff. Next he used his boomerang to cut the rope holding a cage with a monkey in it and it smashed on the ground, freeing the animal. It called its thanks then leaped from bridge to bridge then jumped into the trees.

"Looks like there's a few more monkeys still trapped." Link said to himself as he walked across two more bridges. "Guess I should free them all and see what I can get for it."

Link made his way back to the main room and saw that Celeste was still unconscious. He gave a small wave at the imp before using his boomerang to get at a chest that was hanging from the ceiling. To his relief he found a compass inside. He looked at it to see where the rest of the monkeys were then shoved it into his dimensional bag and continued through the temple.

oooOOOooo

"My lord, I'm still loyal to you! How could you ever think I'm not?" Vaati stayed silent and kept staring out into the ocean. Celeste ground her teeth in frustration. "Well answer me!" Celeste roughly grabbed the Wind Sorcerer's wrist and was about to whirl him around when he grabbed her then twisted her arm behind her back.

"If you want to regain my trust I suggest you try to destroy Hyrule instead of save it!" hissed Vaati into the girl's ear. "Or better yet, you could do the dark side a major favour by killing the Chosen Hero."

"I-I was sent to Hyrule in order to spy on the Royal family. My father didn't tell me what to do if I met the Chosen Hero." Celeste said. Vaati growled and threw her onto the sand. She lay on the ground panting and watched as her home and her lord fade away from her.

"V-Vaati…"

"Remember your true ambitions Celeste…"

"Vaati wait!" Midna jumped in surprise at Celeste's random outburst.

"For Twilights sake girl!" the imp exclaimed. "You almost gave me a heart attack!"

"M-Midna?" asked Celeste looking at the shadow beside her.

"Yeah who else would it be?" the she asked.

"Oh well… sorry I scared you. I was just having a bad dream." the girl mumbled. Midna touched her shoulder sympathetically. But then the imp went ridged. "Midna what's wrong?"

"When you woke up did you say the name Vaati?" asked Midna.

"Er… so what if I did?" retorted Celeste. Midna frowned.

"Since the Twilight Realm is part of the Dark World it's mandatory for us to learn about the dark Sorcerer of Winds. Why would you be connected with someone so evil?" asked Midna, her eyes boring into Celeste.

"I don't need to tell you anything." she growled. Midna narrowed her eyes.

"No I guess you don't have to," said the imp carefully. "Just make sure Link doesn't find out. He probably doesn't have any knowledge of a monster that got destroyed so many years ago, but knowing him he'll probably go around asking everyone about it."

Celeste sighed. "You're probably right."

"I know I am."

"Will you stop being so cocky?" Celeste growled.

"I can act however I want to. Besides, if Vaati was destroyed so easily, he must have had a cocky attitude as well." Midna said lazily.

"How dare you insult My Lord like that! You have no right to talk about him, let alone speak his name!" Celeste snapped defensively. "Besides, he'd wipe out all of the twilight without even breaking a sweat!"

"Hmph, then he'll just get defeated again." said Midna, trying to keep her voice steady.

"Vaati only got defeated last time because Shadow Link betrayed him! My lord would have killed the four Links and would have destroyed the four swords if it weren't for him. Besides with my family working on bringing my lord back no one will have to worry about the Twilight anymore. It's just a weak form of darkness that can easily be dismissed!" Celeste finished her little speech and was panting heavily. Midna smiled.

"Well thank you for telling me all that!" said the imp happily. "Now I know more about you."

"Damn you…" Celeste growled.

"Eeh hee hee! Don't worry Red, I won't tell. It'll be our little secret alright?" asked Midna holding out her small hand.

"If you want to save this world from Twilight then why would you let darkness follow?" asked Celeste.

"I'm not trying to save this world; I'm trying to save mine. Besides I wouldn't give a second thought about this world after I defeat the 'King of Twilight'." stated Midna. "So do we have a deal?"

"Hmph very well Twili." Midna and Celeste smiled at each other as they shook hands. Just then they heard a stone door roll open and they saw Link coming through.

"Hey you're okay!" Celeste yelped in surprise as Link scooped her into a hug. Midna laughed when she saw the girl plead for help. The imp shook her head.

"Link stop you're going to crush me!" exclaimed Celeste pushing the boy off her.

"Oh sorry," Link apologized. "I was just so worried about you!"

"Well I'll be ok for now. Just got a nasty looking bite that's all." she said showing Link her wound. He cringed.

"Are you sure?" She nodded.

"Well alright then. By the way I found the boss room. We can go there now if you want."

"Ok let's go then."

As they exited the main room Midna slipped back into Link's shadow to take a quick nap. Celeste was slower than before and they had to take a few breaks before they made it to the second last room. They both turned in surprise when they heard the monkeys on their left call to them. They watched as the animals climbed onto a branch overhanging the bottomless pit and held onto each other's hands and feet and made a monkey rope. Link was hesitant to go first and refused to go unless Celeste went first. She sighed then leaped across the open crevice. She easily caught the monkey's hands and flew to the other side.

"Come on Link hurry up!" yelled Celeste from the other side. Link took a deep breath before jumping and safely landing on the other. "See nothin' to it!"

"W-what e-ever," said Link shaking. "L-let's just open the boss door."

"Mr. Heroes first." the green-clad boy rolled his eyes then opened the door.

oooOOOooo

"Goddesses, what is that thing?" exclaimed Link as a huge plant-eye-head-thing came out of the poisonous water. They both jumped out of the way as poisonous water sprayed everywhere.

"Ugh this monster stinks!" exclaimed Celeste covering her nose with her hand.

"I think we have more important stuff to worry about! Look all the bomblings are gone!" exclaimed Link.

"Wait what's that?" asked Celeste pointing to a white baboon that appeared in the upper left corner of the room.

"Hey it's the monkey I defeated earlier! And he's got bomblings!" Celeste rolled her eyes then grabbed the Gale Boomerang from the boy.

"Stop talking and focus!" Celeste threw the boomerang at Ook and lifted the bombling out of its grasp. Then it went whirling at the monster's head and blew up. Link charged forwards and sliced at the thing's eyeball. It roared in anger and its two extra heads back up. They both watched in horror as Diababa reeled back and spit purple acid.

"Damn, get down!" exclaimed Link running to take cover in the grass.

"I have a better way!" yelled Celeste. She twirled her staff as the acid came her way and stopped it from hurting her, well most of it. She cringed as a sharp pain shot up her arm and she accidently dropped her staff. A shot of acid hit just above the spider bite and burned her flesh.

"Celeste you ok?" asked Link running up to her. She slowly nodded her head.

"Let's just finish this quickly kay?" Link nodded. They repeated the bombing process tice more before Link managed to deal the Ending Blow on the eye. It reared up and roared in anger as it dried up then burst millions of twilight pieces. The eye dropped to the ground and bust as well to reveal a heart piece. The twilight pieces merged together to form an odd rock sculpture thing. Celeste smiled to herself when she felt the dark power resonating off it. Just then Midna popped out of Link's shadow.

"Eeh hee hee! Well done! That's… what I was looking for!" said Midna happily.

"What is it?" asked Link.

"That's a Fused Shadow. It's what the light spirit called dark power… Remember what Faron said? He said that you had to match the power of the king of shadows. Could it really be this easy? Is this all there is to it? Eeh hee hee!" The two looked at each other. "There's a total of three Fused Shadows. I think the other light spirits have the rest… If you want to know exactly what Fused Shadows are… Well, maybe I'll tell you if you find the other two. I guess you better do your best to find them, huh? Eeh hee hee!"

"Whatever." said Celeste rolling her eyes. The imp laughed.

"Well let's not waste any more time here when we could be looking for the other two…" Midna floated away a little before making a warp. "I can get you out of here. Pick up the Heart Container that thing dropped and let's go."

"Here Celeste," said Link handing the Heart Container to her. "You need this more than I do."

"We'll both take it." Link smiled as they both absorbed the healing item. He watched in satisfaction as the bite marks disappeared from his friend's arm but frowned when he still saw the acid burn marks. "Oh don't worry about those. They'll go eventually."

"Alright." They both walked up to Midna and asked her to warp them out of the Forest temple.


Kso we learn a lot in this chapter don't we? Hehe. I love when a good plan unfolds. Anyways looks like Celeste is planning on betraying Linky-Poo! D: And Midna doesn't care about the light world! (le gasp!) AAAND both Link and Celeste have major fears. Link being afraid of bottomless pits of nothing (who wouldn't?), and Celeste being afraid of spiders. Hehehe scaredy cats. Anyways please tell me how you like this chapter and what you think is going to happen next! Foreshadowing!
