Hey guys! Sorry for the wait, school is a bitch. I had projects coming from all directions, but I finally found time for an update. Enjoy:P
Chapter 4
Vaati woke up slowly from his dreamless sleep and stretched his arms. He looked down at his lap to find that it was empty. Quickly, he got up and began searching the entire house. Just then, he heard laughter from outside and ran frantically out the door. There, jumping on a mushroom was Violet. Vaati let out a sigh of relief and walked over to her. "Daddy!" She exclaimed as she jumped into his arms. "Come and play with me!"
"Maybe later." He replied. "Have you seen Ezlo lately?"
The little girl nodded, "Yup! He made me pancakes." She smiled and continued, "He told me to baby-sit you while he was gone."
"He did?" Vaati replied, unamused
"Yup!" She happily replied. "Daddy?"
"Hmm...?"
"Can I brush your hair, please?" Violet asked emphasizing the 'please'. Vaati was stunned at this. "Please, daddy?" Vaati sighed, Why couldn't she have been born a boy? "Daddy?" She looked at him with a sad expression. Then, finally, he replied, "Maybe later. Hey, I have an idea." He put her down and continued, "Just do as I say. Now, close your eyes and focus on my voice." Violet gave her father a skeptical look, but she did what she was told. "Very good, now," Vaati continued, "slowly raise your arms, just a little...very good. Now, picture yourself in the wind. Let it carry you along. Concentrate." Violet imagined herself sailing in the wind. She felt as if she were weightlessly floating in the air. She slowly opened her eyes and realized that she actually was floating! Vaati noticed that she didn't seem afraid at all, but rather...comfortable. She, slowly, lowered herself to the ground and blurted out, "Daddy, I did it!"
Vaati smiled and gave her a hug, "Very good, Violet. You can do anything if you just concentrate."
"Can I do it again?" She exclaimed.
Vaati smiled, "Sure, but just be careful. You don't want someone to notice your abilities. Otherwise, they might do something bad to you."
Violet's expression changed to that of fear. "Y-you won't let them hurt me...will you, daddy?"
Vaati put his hand on her shoulder to reassure her. "No way will I let anyone hurt you."
"Promise?"
"I promise." Vaati replied. "We should probably head out and buy some supplies."
"But, what about Ezlo?" Violet asked.
"Don't worry, I'll leave him a note telling him what we are doing." Vaati replied as he walked into the house. He wrote something on a sheet of paper and walked back outside with his and Violet's bags. "Ready?" He asked. "I guess..." She replied. Vaati ruffled her hair playfully and she put her hands over her head and giggled. They walked a little ways to a large stump. Vaati grabbed Violet's hand and started to chant. They were surrounded in a burst of light and the next thing they knew, they were large again. Violet's eyes widened as she looked around. "Whooaaa..." She breathed. Vaati pulled his hood forward and motioned for Violet to do the same to hers. She obeyed and they continued further into the forest towards Termina. "Daddy, why are we going back to Termina?" Vaati slowed his pace and replied with a little lie, "Because...the other town is farther away." She silently breathed an 'Ohhh'. The town was bustling as usual and people were running frantically to find the best sales. "Stay close to me." Vaati commanded. They continued to dodge the people as they walked. A man came running by and knocked Violet on the ground with an 'Oomph!' She got back up only to be pushed right back down. "Hey! Watch it kid!" Someone shouted. She, quickly, got back up and ran through the crowds. "Daddy!" She yelled. "Daddy!" But there was no sign of him anywhere. She ran, frantically, around the town. Finally, she spotted him talking to a man with a carriage. He got on the horse and he and the carriage started to leave the town. "DADDY! WAIT FOR ME!!" She ran as fast as she could towards the carriage. She couldn't catch up to the horse so she jumped on the back of the carriage and climbed in between the crates. She breathed a sigh of relief and shut her eyes. The next thing she knew, she was in dreamland.
"Good evening, Sir Link." The guard greeted the man in the brown cloak. The man in the cloak took off his hood to reveal his face. He had blue eyes, blonde hair, and he wore a green cap. "Good evening, Raven." Link replied.
"I see that the shipment from Termina has arrived. The wife will be pleased." The man named Raven said with a chuckle.
"Yes," Link replied, "Zelda will be pleased." He walked over to the crates and began to help the other guards remove them from the carriage. One of the guards stopped moving the boxes and drew his weapon. "What's wrong?" Link asked.
"We have a stowaway." A guard replied as he motioned towards a crate. Link drew his sword and walked over to where the guard was standing.
"It's just a child!" Link said in amazement. "Lower your weapons, immediately!" Link climbed into the carriage and slowly picked her up. He tried to be careful not to wake her as he stepped off from the back of the carriage. The girl moaned a little and turned her head. Slowly, she opened her eyes and yawned. "Daddy?" She said. Link stared at her in amazement. Link set her down and made sure that she remained steady on her feet. She took off her hood and everyone gasped. Violet turned around and looked at the strangers. She slowly backed away from them.
"DADDY!" She screamed.
Vaati ran around the streets of Termina looking for his child. "VIOLET!" He screamed. "VIOLET, CAN YOU HERE ME?!?!?!" He felt as if the world were crashing down on him. Worry took over every fiber of his body. He felt helpless. Every scenario that he could think of was playing in his mind. No, he thought, This can't be happening.
Ooohh...The evil cliffhanger of doom! Aren't I evil? R&R please.
