Chapter 4: Bonding Time

Tessie's PoV:

Camara, Joania, Ceila, and I are trying to figure out Stone Tower. There are too many blocks! Too many switches! And too many boulders! What is this place?! How are we ever going to find Link if we can't get around Stone Tower?! "Tessie, how 'bout we call Saria. Maybe she will have a suggestion." Camara says.

"That's a great idea, Camara!" I say, excitedly. "I'll call her right now!"

"OK."

I play Saria's Song, so that I can talk to Saria. She answers, saying, "Tessie? Is that you?"

"Yes, it's me."

"What's going on? Did you find anything?"

"No. Stone Tower's so complicated! There are so many switches, boulders, and blocks! It's impossible to figure out! I'm sure Link could get through this! But we're not smart like him! I'm sure Link would've had what he needed to figure out Stone Tower. We don't."

"Hmm... It's a risk, but maybe Link will know how to figure out that tower. I'll chance calling him. Maybe Ben won't know."

"Saria, are you sure that's a good idea?"

"I'm not entirely sure. I can't say it won't hurt to try, because it will most likely hurt Link, but we have to find him! Maybe he'll even tell us where he is!"

"Umm... OK... I just hope nothing bad happens to him..."

"I hope not either..." And we break the connection...

Saria's PoV:

I play my song, Saria's Song, and what I hear makes me want to cry tears of joy. "Saria? Saria, is that you?"

"Yes, Link. It's me."

"You shouldn't have called me! I could get hurt!"

"I know, but we'll make this quick. Do you know where you are?"

"Right now, I'm in an ice room. Even outside of the ice room, it's cold. So, I think I'm at someplace where it's Winter."

"Oh my goodness... Mido and the other boys are at Snowhead Mountain now! That's the only place in Termina that has snow!"

"OK. I'll stay strong until then. I hope you guys find me soon!"

"Don't worry, Link. We will." I start to tear up. "I love you."

"I love you, too, Sari..." And we break the connection...

Link's PoV:

As far as I know, I've been in this ice room for almost ten minutes. I hope that call with Saria won't cause me to get hurt!

I'm so cold right now, I think my shivering froze. My arms and legs have frost on them. Same with my face and my hair. Even my clothes have frost on them, and I'm sure my hat does, too. I feel like ice all over. I think I'm going to get frost bite, if I haven't already...

About another minute later, Ben enters the ice room. My eyes are closed. So I don't bother looking at him. I think my eyes are about to freeze shut, too! "OK. Time's up!" Ben grabs on to the chains around my wrists and drags me out of the ice room. He drags me in to the room that I was being kept in before the ice room. He lets go of me. I'm so relieved to be out of that ice room. I can see and feel the frost melting away from me. "Do you feel better now?" I nod. "Good." After a few more moments, the frost that was on me is completely gone. Now, I'm wet. "Stay right here, and don't do any funny business!" I can't. I'm chained and gagged. "Don't get snarky with me!" Ben then, kicks me in the hip. "I'll be right back." And Ben leaves the room...

A Few Minutes Later...

Ben returns with an old, raggedy brown blanket. He walks up to me and sets the blanket down. Ben grabs me by the shoulders and lifts me up, and places me against the wall. Ben snaps his fingers, and the chains disappear from around my wrists. I try to pull the handkerchief down from my mouth, but Ben says, "Don't touch it." OK, I won't. Ben snaps his fingers again, and rope appears around my wrists, just like they were back in Woodfall. The rope is attached to the wall here, too. I'm able to move my arms! Ben grabs the blanket and wraps it around me. What's he doing? "You're cold from the ice room. So, I thought you'd like to warm up a bit." Thank you, Master. "Yeah. Whatever." I hang on to the blanket tightly, so that the warmth from the blanket can soak in to my body. Then, Ben sits down on the right side of me. He places his arm around me and pulls me closer. "Do you feel warmer now?" I nod. "Good." Ben smiles at me and kisses me on the head. I look at Ben with sadness in my eyes. Ben finally decides to pull down the handkerchief from my mouth.

"Why did you put a blanket around me?"

"Because, I feel like being nice." Ben leans his head on mine. He starts rubbing my back. He stops and looks at me. My bangs are in my eyes again, so he brushes them out of my face again. And, of course, he kisses my forehead again. He starts petting my hair. He continues petting my hair, while his head's leaned on mine again. I just sit and wait for it to be over. "So, tell me something funny that's happened to you in your life. Although, I'll already know it."

"Do I have to?" I complain.

"Yes, you do."

"OK. Well, umm... One time, I had to go to the outhouse. I opened the door and saw Saria in there. I guess she forgot to lock it. Boy, was I ever scarred when that happened. I'm still scarred."

"I remember that." It's very creepy how he remembers that...

I look at Ben. "Ben?"

"Yes, darling? And, it's "Master"."

"Sorry. Can I ask you something?"

"I'll let it slide, this time, and, sure, I guess."

"Are you a human? Are you even alive?"

"I was a human, once upon time."

"Can I ask you another question, Master?"

"Umm... Sure..."

"How did you die?"

"I was kidnapped and tortured me, just like what I do to you. Then, my kidnappers drowned me."

"That's terrible! But Ben, why are you hurting me and stuff?"

"I want you to feel the pain I went through. I also consider you as my treasure and I love you. I'm also trying to make you a wimp."

"Oh. Well..."

"You don't feel sorry for me, do you?" I shake my head "no". "Huh. Well, it's to be expected." Ben rubs my back for a few seconds, when he finally stops. He stands up, turns around to face me, and says, "Well, I'll let you sleep. It's almost nighttime. Well, goodnight, I guess."

"Goodnight." And Ben starts to leave the room. "Master?"

He turns around and says, "What?"

"Thank you. For the blanket, I mean."

"Yeah. Well, don't expect that all the time. Right now, I just feel like being nice, that's all. Goodnight." And he proceeds to leave the room again.

"Goodnight." And I lay down on the floor with the blanket around me and fall asleep...
