Chapter 9

Before I begin please understand I do understand who the characters I use are. This is just my take on them not there official take in the games. So that means there personally maybe different. I just wanted to get that out of the way. Thank you and enjoy!

Melody thanks to the charm that Farore gave her was sent to an unknown forest. She knew this wasn't home because the forest seemed a little more dead. She could barely hear any life not even birds. She just sat leading on a tree putting her head on her knees to think on what to do. Should she stay where she's was at or should she try to find a village. She sat there for awhile then she heard leaves ruffle and she lift her head to see the most craziest mask she had ever since. She gave out a yelp and she smacked the back of her head. She moaned from the pain with the person wearing the mask who wore a black robe and was at Melody's height said in a really odd and quick voice "Sorry yes."

"Owwwww. You scared me." she moaned rubbing her head.

"I did not mean too. I just saw you here all by yourself yes?"

"Oh I see..."

"So why are you here by yourself yes?"

"I-I'm so lost."

"Oooooooohhhhhh I see. Ok then yes!" he said with a little jumped.

"Huh?" Melody said confused.

Then she got help up by him and holding her hands saying "Majora will take you home to other friends and then you won't be lost anymore."

Melody thought about it and it was really hard to tell what this guy was think. The mask had dead eyes then she decided she had no where else to go and she decided to go with him and while heading to his home she said "So your name's Majora. I like that name."

"Thank you yes. What is your name?"

"Melody. It's nice to meet you." she said with a cheerful smile.

They went to a village called Clock Town and while walking she notice people staring at Majora almost in fear. She didn't understand why. They went to a small house but, when going in side it look like an inside forest looking much bigger than it actually was with tree roots and different plants including these big mushrooms that rose up to the ceil. Two little lights one purple and one blue that flew to them.

The blue one that sound like a girl said "Hey your home and..."

She flew over to Melody and asked "Who is this?"

"I-I'm Melody. Who are you?"

"Me? I'm Tatl and why are you here?" she said in suspicion.

The purple one flew up to Tatl and said in a male's voice "Come on sis. Be nice."

He went to Melody and said "Sorry about that. I'm Tael though why is she here Majora?"

"She is our new friend. Was lost in the woods yes."

"You poor thing..." said Tael.

"How on earth did that happen?" asked Tatl.

Melody told them her story while they listening in with amazement. When she was done they were quiet for a moment then Tael said "I can't believe your from Hyrule. I hope it all goes well for you."

"Where are we?" Melody asked.

We are in Termina. All the way from the other side of the world yes." said Majora.

Melody was shock to here this. She then said "How am I suppose to get home."

"Honestly Melody I don't think you should. It sounds like there are some pretty bad people after you but, they don't know your here however. So why leave?" said Tatl.

"Oh now you like her..."said Teal almost in a whisper.

"What?! She's been through a lot ok..." said Tatl in an annoying tone.

"So we agree. She stays yes." said Majora.

"I-I don't want to be bother.." Melody said flattered by this sudden kindness.

"Naaa you won't be. We needed a new playmate anyway. So welcome to the family!...Or whatever." said Talt

Melody smile and said "Thank you all."

And for the next month Melody and the others had been forming a close bound. Some days they would play together (after helping Melody get ridding her fear of heights which took a very long week.) and some days they would explore around Termina and Clock Town. They even went to a festival in the town. They were celebrating how well the crops were doing and Melody was having a lot of fun for once and forgot all her problems at one point. Everyday there was something new especially from Majora. First off he NEVER took that mask of his off. Not even to eat. Melody asked why but, he just said that it was very close to him and then he would change the subject. She also notice how Clock Town really like art since one day Melody found a piece a paper and pencil one day and made a simple flower. One man who was the mayor gave her a pouch of gold for the drawing. The days went by with something to do and Melody soon adapted to this new life style. Until one day...

Melody and the others came back from the woods from a game of tag. As they head back in to the house Melody felt hands roughly turn her around and she was to face a weird man with squinted eyes and short red hair. He had a hug backpack with so much stuff in it to the point where Melody wondered how he hasn't broke his back. He then said "Are you the one called Melody?"

"Y-Yes." she said still startled.

He reached in his bag and pulled out what looked like a mask and handed it to her saying "I have a gift from someone who wants to meet you every munch. Good day and believe in your strengths."

He then giggled and walked away. She looked at the mask that looked like a male with some war paint on his cheeks. When she looked at it she felt a little dizzy. Then Tatl said "Great that jerk is back in town."

"Who is he?" Melody asked.

"He's just know as the Happy Mask Salesmen. Some think he doesn't really have a name." said Tael.

"Lets all go inside yes?" said Majora pestering them to the door.

After that they ate dinner (Which was just beard and butter) and they all went to bed which was actual on top of the mushrooms which were quite comfortable. Melody couldn't sleep however cause she couldn't stop thinking of that salesmen or the mask. Who wanted to meet her so badly? She always held the mask trying to think. This happen for about three nights. She was fine during the day but, the other knew that something was on her mind. The next night was odd to Melody as she had a strange dream. She felt like she was standing on a black abyss seeing someone that looked like a man cloaked in a light teal cloak holding out his hand for her. She wasn't sure what to do but, soon after flames started to come up and she woke with a sweat. It was the worse night out of the four.

The next morning she could barley keep her eyes open and the others couldn't stand it anymore and confronted her about it with Tael asking "Melody what's been bothering you?"

Melody didn't want to upset them and said "Nothing. I'm fine."

Tatl knew she was lying and almost yelled saying "No your not! Melody you look terrible. Something is bothering you. What is it?"

"No really. I'm fine."

"It's because of that salesman yes?" said Majora.

"Of course!" said Tatl as she went up to Melody's mushroom and came back with the mask.

"It's because of this thing isn't it?" Tatl asked.

Melody decided to tell the truth and said "Yes. I don't understand it. Who wants to meet me? Why the mask?"

"I don't know and I don't care." said Tatl

"But, Tatl what about-" Melody tried to say

But Tatl continued saying "I only care about you and this thing is like the flu. It's horrible and I think we should throw this stupid thing in the lake."

Then all of a sudden Tatl screamed and droop the mask as it sorta look like it had some steam with Tatl yelling "OWWWWW! THAT BURNS!"

Melody picked it up and found it was normal. Tael went on Melody shoulder and said in a scared voice "It's possessed."

"Enough it of this! We shall find salesmen yes." Majora then said about ready to leave the door.

They all agreed with Tatl saying "Yeah so I can give that creep a piece of my mind."

They all left and on there way out Melody felt like she was being watched and saw a crow staring at her. She shook it off however and went to caught up with the other not knowing who had just found her.
