Sorry for the long wait! I had to put the story on hold because I've been busy with other things. There will be a bit of action and adventure in this chapter unlike the last chapter which was kinda pointless, and I will try to make it as interesting as I can.
Disclaimer: I think you all understand now, that I do not own any Legend of Zelda character or pretty much anything for that matter.
Here is the fourth chapter of my story!
"I don't get it," Natalie said then added, "Why does everyone always freak out when it's night time in Termina Field?"
"Because it gets really dangerous at night." Link said.
"Isn't it already dangerous enough in the morning? What's so much more dangerous in the night, then in the morning? Aren't all the monsters the same?"
"No, not all of the monsters are the same. A lot of them are stronger than others, especially at night." Link looked very cautious, and was looking around the field with wide eyes. He looked very alert.
"Okay...so I guess we better head back to Clock Town, huh?" Natalie spun around and started to walk towards the closest entrence into Clock Town. But she was stopped when a hand suddenly grab her arm and pulled her backwards.
"You can't just walk around carelessly as if you didn't mind getting hurt!" Link said with worry in his voice. Natalie looked down at Link's hand as he still held on to her arm. She sighed and then rolled her eyes.
"Okay, Monsieur Hero! Lead the way!" Natalie said.
Link led Natalie through the field by pulling on her arm. He also unseathed his sword and kept a sharp eye out for any kind of monsters that were close enough to attack. They were almost at the entrance of the town when suddenly, a black shadow surrounded them. It had made no sense because it was always harder to see shadows at night. But this shadow was perfectly clear, with it's transparent black shape that looked to be in the form of a skull.
"What's happening?!" Natalie said in a trembling voice. What is this thing? This has never happened to me when I played the video game. Natalie thought to herself.
"I-I don't know." Link said blankly.
The shadow-shaped-skull started to take form of something else. The shadow arose from the ground and stood up as if it were a solid creature. Natalie stared at it, horrified. She began to see the shadow form legs...a torso...arms...a neck...and a head. Natalie stared up at the head, the pitch black head and face with dark glowing red eyes. Red eyes? She thought.
Link pulled Natalie behind him and prepared himself in a battle stance. "Link, how do you honestly think that you can fight a shadow?" Natalie said. Just then, the shadow chuckled.
"I knew that I had to come after you, Natalie," The shadow figure started to say, "But I didn't know you'd be a real smartas-"
"Ah! Don't you DARE finish that sentence!" Natalie interupted. "Do NOT insult me!"
"I do not take orders from you, worthless human!" The shadow hissed at her.
"Who are you?!" She demanded. Natalie stepped out infront of Link and ignored whatever the hero was trying to do to protect her.
"I, is none of your business." The creature spat.
"Then what are you here for, stranger?" She asked in a deep and dark, yet sarcastic voice.
"I have already told you, I am here to get you."
"What?!" Natalie was confused.
"My master has sent me here to find you. Now that I have found you, I shall capture you." The shadow said.
"Why...?" Natalie folded her arms across her chest and acted the least bit of scared. All she cared about at the moment was figuring out why this shadow creature wanted to capture her.
"Do you know why you are here?" The creature hissed. "Do you know how you came to this world? You are here for a very important reason. My master thinks that you are very important to his life, that is why he needs me to capture you...so he can kill you." Natalie gasped and her eyes grew wide. She backed away and Link stepped infront of her again, ready to fight this mysterious creature.
"You will not hurt her." Link said in a serious tone.
"Of course I won't be, but my master will." The shadow ignored Link and took a leap at Natalie.
"Ah!" Natalie screamed, as the shadow creature grabbed her.
"Let her go!" Link shouted. He ran up to the creature and tried to attack it with his sword, but the shadow creature pushed him back hard on the ground.
"Never." The shadow creature held Natalie by her wrists.
A shadow formed under the creature and Natalie's feet. Natalie felt herself being sucked in the shadow as if it were some sort of vaccum. She let out a scream, as her surroundings began to envelope in darkness...darkness...that was the word that repeated in Natalie's mind. If only she could fight the darkness from taking her away. But just when she thought she was finally gone from Termina and in some sort of shadowed world, she felt warmth. The warmth came from her heart...her soul. It felt like fire...surrounding her body...protecting her...
Suddenly, in the pitch blackness, came a light. The light from a fire. The fire's light seemed to be eating away the darkness that enveloped Natalie and the shadow figure. Natalie felt even warmer than before. She looked down at herself and saw herself...glowing! She glowed of an orange colour-the colour of fire. The fire's light came from Natalie. She was making the darkness disappear!
"No!" She heard the shadow figure say. The creature was disappearing along with the darkness. Natalie looked up and saw the stars in the midnight sky. She was back in Termina. She felt herself stand once more on the grass. She saw Link rush over to her.
"What happened?!" Link asked in the most worried tone. The shadow creature was gone from the light that had formed around Natalie's body and she wasn't glowing anymore either.
"I-I don't know..." A tear ran down her face. She was scared and confused. She found herself grasping on to Link in a hug. Link hugged her back tightly. What just happened? She asked herself. So many things have happened today that I thought would never happen. What's going on?
"Well...are you okay?" Link looked at Natalie and saw her face turning red from tears-and also from blushing.
"Y-yeah...I guess I am...I think..." She let go of Link and backed away slightly. She suddenly began to feel a headache forming and felt dizzy. "Oooh..." Natalie put her hand to her forehead and started to lose balance. She finally lost her balance and started to fall towards the ground. But just before she hit the ground, she felt a pair of hands grab hold of her by the waist and hold her up from falling.
"Are you okay?" Link asked Natalie again, while still holding on to her, afraid that she would fall again.
"I-I...uhnn" Natalie closed her eyes and leaned on to Link. Blackness was fogging up her thoughts and mind, as she began to pass out. She couldn't do anything at the moment, as she felt herself lose all of her strength. And the last thing that she remembered was hearing Link call her name over and over again in worry.
--------------------------------------------
A soft cushioned pillow.
Dizziness...
A nice warm blanket.
A headache...
The warm air, coming from a fireplace.
It's not so foggy anymore...
The presence of people.
Voices...
"Will she be alright?"
Someone familiar.
"It is no need to worry. She is just very tired, tired enough to make her pass out."
A stranger.
"But, will she be alright?"
Who's familiar voice does that belong to?
"Yes"
Who is the stranger?
"Why is she so tired?"
Why are you so familiar?
"She has been weakened by something...I'm not quite sure what, though."
Where am I?
The brightness of the sun.
What are they talking about?
The fresh breeze coming from an opened window.
"She's waking up!"
Eyes opening...Brightness filling in the vision...She is waking up...
"Natalie, are you okay?"
"Huh...?" She could see Link standing beside the bed that she was laying on. She was in her hotel room.
"Hello, Natalie. I am Dr. Heather." Natalie looked to the oposite side from Link, and saw a tall man in his early thirty's wearing a long white lab coat. His hair was short and black, tinted with gray, and he had small brown eyes under a pair of square glasses with round tips.
"H-hel-lo..." Natalie found herself having a harder time trying to speak because of her tiredness. She turned her head so she could see Link. She gave him a weak smile and said, "W-what hap-pened?"
"I don't know...you just passed out." Link replied. "I had to carry you back here." Link looked down at his shoes, and Natalie could tell that he was embarrased.
"How long ha-ve I-I be-e-en asleep?"
"For about 12 hours." Dr. Heather said.
"It's a little passed noon." Link said.
"N-n-noon? Wow...that's no big deal...I-I've slept till five o'clock in the afternoon o-nce bef-fore." Natalie yawned. Her headache wasn't as bad as from berfore when she passed out, but it still bothered her. Then she realized that her stomache didn't feel good as well. She put her right hand on her forehead and clutched her left hand over her stomache. Then she moaned.
"Natalie! What's wrong?!" Link asked in worry.
Her stomache felt worse and worse by the second. That's when she realized that she hadn't eaten for a long time.
"Hmm...has she eaten in the last 24 hours?" Dr. Heather asked Link.
"I don't know..." Link bent down so he could talk to Natalie more easily. "Hey, Natalie," he said. "When was the last time you ate?"
Natalie, still clentching her stomache and groaning, started to think back to when she ate last. She looked at Link and said, "Since... the night before yesterday." Link's eyes widened and he gasped.
"We have to get her something to eat." Link stood up and faced Dr. Heather.
"I'll go ask the servants to bring up some lunch." Dr. Heather said, and then left the room.
"You'll be okay, you're just hungry." Link tried to assure her.
"I feel...like...all of my energy has been sucked out of me." Natalie said. "Like...I have nothing inside of me...and I'm too weak...too stiff...to do anything at the moment."
"Do you remember what happened when that shadow creature attacked?" Link asked, then sat down on a wooden chair that was placed beside the bed.
"Darkness was surounding me...and the creature was gripping me hard, so I couldn't free myself. Just when I thought I was completely gone from Termina and in some freaky unknown place, I started to feel really warm... I was glowing orange! It was like the light of fire. The light was brightening the darkness...it was as if it was eating it away! Before I knew it, I was in Termina feild again...and that's when you came rushing over."
Link looked puzzled. The room grew silent for a few minutes as if the two were trying to figure out what to do next. Just then, Natalie began to speak.
"Link," Natalie said as Link focused all of his attention on her. "I have no idea what's going on here... but that shadow guy said something about his master wanting to kill me... because I'm here for some very important reason. I have no idea why I'm involved with something so "important"... it's not like I'm special or anything. So many confusing things have happened to me in the past day... I don't really even know who I am anymore..." Natalie paused for a moment, deciding whether what she wanted to say next would be the right choice. She took in a deep breath and sighed. "It's pretty obvious that I'm getting you involved with something dangerous... and by the looks of it, that shadow guy is pretty strong which means his master is even stronger. You don't deserve to get involved with this... whatever "this" is... and I don't want you to get involved anyways. So... it's up to me to stop this shadow guy and his master..."
"What?! Are you kidding me?!! You're right, this does seem pretty dangerous. But you are not fit do do anything like that. Just look at yourself. You're tired and weak. You couldn't possibly go up against something that dangerous in your condition!" Link practically shouted.
Natalie sighed. I'm starting to like him better in the videogame... when he could'nt talk. "That's why I'm going to rest up today. I'll get all the food and nutrition that I haven't had in the past day, and have a shower...or bath... And tomorrow I'll start training. I have a strong feeling that what I'm involved with is going to hurt a lot of people in Hyrule. I don't want that to happen. So wether you like it or not, I'm going to stop this guy. Even if it costs me my life."
Ooookay. So that was the fourth chapter. I hope you all enjoyed. I'll try to update the next chapter a lot sooner then I did with this one. Reviews would be highly appreciated!
