Chapter 9

I looked over at Link and gave him that 'you do it' look. He stuck his paw in and kept it there for a few seconds.

"AHHHH!" he screamed.

I screamed.

"HHHHHAHAHAHA! I couldn't resist!"

I smacked the back of his head. He pulled his paw out. It looked perfectly normal.

"Looks safe enough," I shrugged.

I completely walked into it. It was a large tunnel of black and white Greek writing rotating in circle beyond circle. It was cold. I shivered as Link walked close next to me, sharing his body heat. Soon the tunnel came to and end. I stepped out emerging into a dark cloudy area. 20 or 30 yards away, sat a large black building with red designs running up the walls, glowing. I walked to the edge of the area. Below was complete nothingness. A never-ending fall. Link followed me up to a large, black, polluted-looking water(more like black, clumpy mud!)fall.

"I think this might be what we need.." Link said curiously examining it.

I stuck my paw into it. Instantly, I transformed into human.

"Yay! It worked!" I pulled a little brown sack out of my bag and quickly stuck it into the mudfall and brought it back in a flash. The bag turned black. I looked inside and grinned.

Link had transformed, too. I opened the bag and we both peered inside. There sat two, black, little shadow crystals. A dark diamond-shaped crystal with a shot of red in the center sat there in my possession. Amazing. I closed the sack and tucked it back into my bag.

We sat there grinning, not saying a word, at our success.

But then, I heard familiar swooping noises.

"Dusty?" I said turning around slowly. Two words.

Not.

Dusty.

A huge black shadow bird came flying at us making awful shrieking noises. It made a dive at Link, attempting to pick him up and throw him off. But Link was smart enough to not get himself killed. Quickly, he dodged and took off in a flash.

Wow. He was faster on his feet than I thought. I raised my eyebrows. But then, fatso came at me!

"Ah! Don't come at me! I'm a girl! How impolite!"

"Um, then what have you been doing your whole, life? Practicing 'tea'?"

"No… and what have you been doing your whole life? Eating an apple a day, and keeping up to date on your monthly checkups?"

The moment I said checkups, Link's head shot up.

"No! I'm in danger all the time! I've saved the world countless times! My whole body's weapon!"

Fatso came swooping in at us both interrupting our argument.

"AHHHHHHHH!" we said clinging to each other for a second, then splitting apart in opposite directions.

"Quick! Get into the portal!" I shouted running towards it.

We ran as fast as we could. Shooting though the entrance to the other world, Link yelled

"Midna! Close the portal! It's coming!"

Midna shot up into the air and yanked the curtain in front of the window, trapping the light outside. The portal closed, seeing no light to reflect. A black feather with a red design running up to the tip drifted to the ground. This time 3 words.

Way.

Too.

Close.

We left the room breathing out sighs of relief and tire. I could walk no more. I gave up and let my legs collapse underneath me. Link fell down, also. We lay there for a long time, saying nothing. I fell asleep. I slept deeply and beautifully.

I woke a few hours later to see Link shaking me. I stretched out and rose to my feet. I heard his voice, but it was muffled, and hard to understand. Everything was very, very bright, and getting brighter by the second.

"Kyra! Can you hear me? I don't know what's happening… I.. I… Kyra?"

Then, it was too bright and I could see nothing but white. Suddenly, I collapsed for the second time.

A/N: What did you guys think? That's the end of the first story, but there is a second coming along! I have two chapters written out, and I will start as soon as possible. I hope you enjoyed!
