Hai people! I'm excited for chapter seven!
Dreygon: Surprisingly, me too.
Me: Okay, there WILL be spelling and grammer errors because my Microsoft Word isn't working so I'm using this instead and I don't think it has a spell check...
Dreygon: Great...
Me: Anyways, ONWARD WITH THE STORY!
DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING!
My cheeks were on fire as we broke apart. I don't think my mask was doing a very good job at hiding it either. This had been my very first kiss ever, and I'm glad it was with Link. I shyly gazed up upon his face and he was sweetly smiling at me.
I decided to break the silence. "I... So I never knew you liked me... Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Link simply shrugged and said, "I was going to, but every time Zelda was always there and dragged me away to do Goddess knows what each time."
I suddenly began to remember all of the times when this had happened but I had always shrugged it off. Especially the last time with our little peach incident.
I snapped back into reality when I realized that the dance floor couples were all gone and replaced by rowdy Smashers who were moshing to the heavy metal that was playing at this moment. I could see Roy in the crowd yelling something about respecting his "yellow pimp suit".
Link grabbed my hand and said, "Come on Peach, let's get out of here before we are squished."
I followed him through the crowd and sat in the chair next to him on the side of the room were there was also Mr. Game and Watch and Bowser. We sat there for a few minutes as a veil of awkwardness slowly began to suffocate us. "Um, I'm going to use the bathroom, okay Link?"
"Uh, okay sure. Have fun I guess," he said smirking at me.
I giggled and headed out of the Masquerade room. Master Hand hadn't thought ahead enough to put a bathroom in here. The nearest one was the one a few doors down from his office.
As i stepped out of the room, I took a big breath and tried to remember all of the things that had happened so far. It was all so fast and sudden and so much and the night wasn't even over yet!
I hummed to myself happily as I waltzed down the dark hallway.
CRUNCH!
"Huh?" I said in confusion, stopping in my tracks, looking for the source of the noise.
I gingerly took another step forward. CRUNCH!
There it was again! I looked around to identify exactly were I was. I appeared to be by Master Hand's office.
I slowly bent down to inspect what was causing this noise. I picked up a piece of whatever it was and held it up close to my face to get a better look at it in the dim light. It was, glass?
I placed the peice of glass back on the floor. As I looked closer, I could see more peices of glass all over the place. They seemed to be leading in a little trail. I carefully decided to follow the glass trail, crunching with every step.
I finally reconized the glass was from a broken window of Master Hand's office. It looks as if someone threw something at it. The door to his office was slightly cracked open. The curiosity inside of me was boiling over. This is stupid, I thought. Yet, I knew I wouldn't be satisfied if I didn't locate the source of the broken window. At this point, curiosity was over ruling my common sence. Just one little peek won't hurt.
I stealthily creaked the door open, slipping inside. It was pittch black except for the little light filtering in through the broken window. There was more glass scattered around by the window. Then I saw it. Something caught my eye. I walked towards it and it appeared to be a bottle. A glass bottle that had a little note in it.
I wasn't sure why, but it seemed to be an eerie feel about it. Despite my instinct to turn and run, I bent over and picked up the bottle. As soon as I made contact with the bottle, a tsunami of memories began to flood back to me.
The broken glass at my old town. The bottle. My mom's reaction to the bottle. Everyone panicking. Master Hand coming to pick us up. Me running away. Lastly and most clearly, the black hooded figures with the ominous knives, ready to stab anyone who was near.
I knew what this bottle held. I knew what it was. A panicked feeling began to take a grip on my chest. I couldn't stand it anymore. All of these emotions and memories rushing into me at once. The fear clawing at my soul. I opened my mouth and let out the longest, loudest, most high pitched scream ever. It sounded exactly like a horror movie scream where the girl was just about to be killed. "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The music in the other room suddenly stopped. They must have heared me. I began to feel light headed and dizzy from the loss of oxygen. Suddenly, the door burst open and I could see Link, his Master Sword drawn with vengence flashing in his eyes, ready to beat to a bloody pulp whatever had caused me my distress.
He ran up to me and asked urgently, "Peach! What is it! Are you okay! What happened!"
In my weak and quivering right hand, I held up the bottle. As soon as he saw it, all of the color in his face was drained away. He was dead silent.
Soon, Everyone else was gathered in Master Hand's office, trying to see what was the cause of all of the commotion. Master Hand soon joined us too. "Quiet everyone, QUIET! Now, Miss Peach, what happens to be the problem here?"
I once again held up the bottle. An eerie hush fell over him. I saw Marth and Roy in the crowd and they appeared to be shocked into silence also. Everyone else had a confused expression on their face, not knowing what the hell the big deal was
"What's the matter, it's just a stupid bottle!" shouted Zelda.
"This... This is no ordinary bottle... This is a bottle from The Visitors," said Master Hand in a monotone.
Confused mumbles could be heard throughout the crowd.
Master Hand then went into a very long and thourough speech about who The Visitors were and what they did and how we should all be praying for mercy right now.
When he was done, everyone was quiet. A few of the Smasher children were crying and shaking with fear. "Well, we minds as well open it..." said Master Hand.
I handed him the bottle and he hesitantly took it, knowing the great evil it contained. He slowly took the cork out and slid out the worn notice. I couldn't read it from were I was, but I could see it was splatterd with blood. Even Bowser shivered at the sight of it.
"What does it say?" shouted out Fox.
Master Hand cleared his throat and began to read it, knowing he couldn't possibly pretend that this has never happened at this point. "It says:
Wisdom and Courage must be wed,
Or else all soon will end up dead.
Bounty Hunter and sweet girl by the name of a fruit
In bridesmaid dresses will look wonderfully cute.
Blue swordsman and hair of flame
Will not take their job as groomsmen as a game.
One week."
Everyone stood there in complete and utter shock for a good ten minutes, processing what the message had said. I knew what it meant though. I knew what they wanted. The thought of it made me want to rip my heart out. They wanted Zelda and Link to be married in a week's time and Samus and I will have to be the bridesmaids and Marth and Roy had to be groomsmen.
Why they wanted this, I don't know. I'm not sure, but when I looked at Zelda, she appeared to be smirking at me...
Yaay end of chapter seven!
Dreygon:... I'm so confused.. Why would they want Link and Zelda to be married... I'M SO CONFUZZLED!
Me: maybe later on in the story you will find out, hm?
Dreygon: ... grrrr... Stupid poetic Visitors...
Me: ANYWAYS, I hope you enjoyed and PLEASE REVIEW! ^-^
