Tetra: Finally

April: Tetra I should

Tetra: Get on with the story.

April: Oh yeah. Well, read my sign *Steps away from disclaimer sign* and then read the next chapter!

Chapter 7: A haunting past

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Link and Tetra decided it was time to take a break and get some rest. Neither of them wanted to take that long walk back to Morgan's house, so they walked down the hill until they found a cave near the beach.

"This should do ok," Link said. He went in and Tetra followed.

The cave was small, but not cramped. It was big enough for them to get to sleep comfortably.

Link started to make a fire as Tetra sat down against the cave wall. Soon there was a warm fire. Tetra stared at it.

Link pulled out a bottle and started heating whatever was in it. Tetra looked at him. "What's that?"

"It's my grandma's soup. I got it the day before we ended up on this island. I think now is a good time to eat it."

Tetra just nodded and watched Link finish heating it.

Link walked up to Tetra. "Here you can have some first," he said, sitting down next to her.

"Are you sure there's enough for both of us?" Tetra asked, accepting the soup from Link.

"Yeah. The bottle has two servings. There's plenty," he said, also leaning against the cave wall.

Tetra started to eat the soup as Link closed his eyes. When she was finished, she handed it to him. "You grandma makes good soup."

Link opened his eyes and took the bottle. "Yeah, it is good isn't it?" He started eating his share. Once it was gone, he put the now empty bottle away. "We should probably get some sleep now," he said.

Tetra nodded and closed her eyes. Link did the same. Soon both of them were asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~ A/N:

April: Note the following dreams are both taking place at the same time, but I can't write them at the same time. Just so you know.

~~~~~~~~~~~

*Links Dream*

A young boy was running down the beach. He was eight it looked like, and it was his birthday.

His parents had gone out to an Island to get him his gift. They hadn't said which Island, but they said they'd be back by dinner.

They'd be back sooner than that.

Around lunchtime, Link was sitting near the house with his little sister. He was about to take her inside, when a boat appeared. Link looked at it curiously.

The boat came closer. There was a man in it, looking very somber. He saw Link and Aryll. That didn't seem to make him happy at all. He docked his boat and made his way over to them.

He told them to come inside. As they went in Link's grandma looked up.

"I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it seems you mother and father," he said, looking at Link and Aryll, "Have been killed."

There was a sharp intake of breath as everyone waited for more information.

"It seems they were killed by pirates. They had a catapult and launched some kind of huge rocks at your parents. The first made impact with your father, and the other destroyed the small boat, resulting in your mother drowning. I'm very sorry to tell you this. It seems we had a witness, who on board saw a small girl. The girl had blond hair up in a bun I think the man said. We'll do everything we can to catch this group of pirates."

"Where were they?" asked Link's grandma, her voice shaking.

It seems the ship was seen about a mile or so from icy waters. We think they had been there before.

~Later on that day~

The man came back about three hours later with more news. "It seems this group of pirates had attacked another group that day. They've gone to the Forsaken Fortress. We have officials on their way there already."

Link, Aryll, and Link's grandma never found out what became of those pirates. When the officials got there, they were gone.

The next day Link was shown the picture of the pirate and the little girl. He didn't know who either of them were.

*Tetra's Dream*

Tetra was standing on deck. She was eight years old. Her mother was by her side, staring out into icy waters.

"We're going to have to move to the north to avoid all this ice!" she yelled.

Suddenly a ship was seen in the distance. Tetra's mother spotted it, and quickly started shouting out orders. "Tetra, I want you to go below-"

She never got to finish her sentence. The ship had grown close enough so that the pirates of the ship could swing to this one.

One of them came flying over and grabbed Tetra, pulling her on to their ship.

"Tetra!" yelled Tetra's mother. She grabbed the rope the pirate on the other ship had dropped, and swung over.

The pirate who had grabbed Tetra was quite young. He was only fifteen. His name was Jordo. He pulled out his sword and cut the rope Tetra's mother was swinging over from.

"Mom!" Tetra yelled, trying to make Jordo let go of her. He handed her to the captain. Tetra watched as her mother tried to swim but fell under, ice covering the spot she had just been.

The ship turned and left quickly, during the confusion of the ship. The captain began talking to Tetra. "That's a valuable necklace your mother gave you. So valuable that I think a little girl like you shouldn't have it." He was about to take it when a boat was sited.

In it was a young man and woman with a small wrapped package. They seemed to be heading to Outset Island. The man smirked, and ordered his crew to destroy the boat. They didn't see the other boat near them, who got a clear picture of the captain on board was holding Tetra, and quickly made his way to the nearest island.

After the boat was destroyed, the pirates headed to the Forsaken Fortress to see their treasure and add Tetra's necklace to it once they got there. But before they landed, the ship Tetra's mother had run showed up, and Gonzo managed to get Tetra back, before both ships left the area for a boat was seen in the distance.

Three years later, Jordo was commanded to join Tetra's crew, and flatter her so he could get the necklace. The captain found out that a week later he had been kicked off board.

Tetra hadn't recognized Jordo, but that didn't mean she would give him the necklace.

They began plotting revenge.

*End Dreams*

Link and Tetra both jerked awake. They looked at each other. Suddenly Link realized that the girl in that picture looked like Tetra, as Tetra realized that Link looked like those two people in the boat she had seen while on board the enemy ship.

Tetra and Link didn't know what was going on. Tetra spoke up first. "Link?"

"Yeah?"

"Want to exchange dreams?" she asked.

"Yes."

After much discussing they figured it out. Any anger Link had had toward Tetra melted away. That hadn't been the best resting time ever.

Tetra looked outside to see the sun coming up. It was time to go to the next temple.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

April: Okay there might be a few questions. First of all, Tetra was captured for her necklace.

Her mother drowned in the sea because there was too much ice for anyone to find her.

The two people in the boat that the pirates destroyed who captured Tetra were Link's parents.

The man who took the picture (pictograph) was just a passerby who showed Link the picture.

The pirate who actually took Tetra is Jordo, the one who she kicked off board and ordered attack on Tetra's ship the night of the storm. Tetra took him on because she hadn't recognized him.

Link and Tetra's parents both died on the same day, Link's birthday, around the same time.

If you have any other questions tell me in your reviews.

Please review! Thanks!
