Link was suddenly shaken awake.
"What's up?" He grumbled, burying his face back in the covers of the tiny bed.
"Please Link," it was the Princess "you must come and help me!" She sounded terribly worried. Zelda grabbed Link's wrist and hauled him up and out of bed. Link noticed the severity of the situation from the look in Zelda's eyes.
He followed Zelda out of the room and hurried down a couple flights of stairs. They passed the foyer entrance of the castle and kept heading downstairs.
"So, what exactly happened?" Link questioned exhaustedly on the way down the stairs. Zelda's long night robe floated behind her while she ran. The stairs brought them to a long dimly lit hallway and Link chased her across the cobblestones beneath. Then Zelda frantically turned a right into a room with a wooden door wide open.
"How is he?" Link heard Zelda's voice waver.
As Link stepped through the doorway, he caught his breath. A short man dressed in white robes stood hunched over someone's bed. Zelda slowly took steps forward.
"It's a poison infection. I will give him a potion."
Link walked over to the bed. Lying there was Sheik, clenching his teeth in pain.
"Sheik," Link whispered. Sheik didn't hear him. The man who Link assumed was a doctor started to bandage up the wound.
"Your majesty, this is the boy who witnessed the accident?"
"Yes. Link, could you explain what happened to the doctor?"
Link gulped. He wasn't sure he could explain it thoroughly. Link looked to Sheik, who had fallen asleep.
"Well," Link started. He wondered where he should start "I was speaking with Sheik when we heard a noise. We looked up and there was a moblin."
"A moblin?"
"Yes, a moblin and it had a bow and arrow. Before we could say anything the arrow was in his stomach."
The doctor and Zelda remained silent for a good while. Zelda's worries greatened. Could that arrow have been poisoned? Her voice wavered back and forth.
"Tomorrow is the training test... We will be prepared for more of these attacks after then."
Link watched Zelda's hands shaking. If the potion didn't work by tomorrow Sheik couldn't participate in the tests. He silently hoped for the best and Zelda did as well.
-The Next Morning-
Sheik woke up with a dull pain in his stomach. He couldn't remember anything that had happened. Sheik's eyes slowly took in his surroundings.
A person sat hunched over in a chair near the bed. He was most likely sleeping. His green hat flopped to the side of his face.
Sheik recognised the person right away.
Link.
(A/N: I will be trying my best to keep this going. My exams are coming up so it may not be as often as I would like. Please understand (: )
