I'm back! How are y'all doing?
To CupcakePride101: Ok, thanks for the suggestions!
To Roxygirl: Thank you!
Ok, so this chapter is shorter (I dunno why I can't write longer chapters...). Also, at the beginning of this chapter, what I added had been something I had (kind of) planned, not just merely added. M'kay? (Although it'll be nearly useless during the whole story. IT AINT IMPORTANT)
Anyways, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I wish I did, so then I could play Hyrule Warriors now!
Ch10: Pursuit
"Hey, Samantha?"
"Yes, Ilia?"
"I found something in a pocket from your old clothes. Is it yours?" She asks, while rummaging through some drawers.
"Maybe. What is it?" I ask, sitting on the mattress, brushing my hair.
"I don't know, it's some kind of...rectangle."
"Rectangle?"
She pulls out a small black item, a large crack across the surface. I immediately recognize what it is.
It's my old iPod...with a large...crack...on it...
God dammit! I was trying to go as long as I could without cracking it. That was my mother's old iPod.
I abandon the brush and jump up, immediately at Ilia's side.
She holds it out to me. I take it, holding it gently in my hands.
The crack reaches from the bottom left to the top right, small cuts branching off.
I'll be surprised if it still works.
"What is it?" Ilia asks.
"It's a device, also known as an iPod." I reply.
"What does it do?"
"Um...that's kind of hard to explain..."
"Try me."
I try my best to explain it to her, without giving her big details, because I don't need her knowing the fact that this was made in an entirely different world. But I do tell her that my mother had given it to me.
"Oh," is all she says.
"Thank you for returning it to me." I say, giving her a thankful smile.
"No problem," she returns the smile. "We should go to bed now."
"Good idea."
We go to our separate beds and lay down.
I wait a couple minutes. When I hear Ilia's slow and soft breathing, I pull my blankets over my head, creating a small tent.
I pull out my cracked iPod, resting the end on my stomach. I press the power button, hoping for it to turn on.
And it does.
I mentally fist-pump and turn off the power, wanting to preserve as much power as I can. I put it beside my pillow.
My eyelids close, as sleep eventually takes me.
I don't notice the device when it comes back to life with red light glowing through the cracks.
Tonight, the dreams seem to be different. This time, scenes and voices seem to be flashing through my mind.
'They created me...'
'How?'
'Nightmares...'
'Who is she?'
'I can't say.'
'Why?'
'My lips are sealed.'
'A pull of the rope...and I'm gone.'
'Don't give up...'
Snap!
The snap of a rope is heard, a thud following soon after. Evil laughter is heard in the background as blades clash violently.
I sit up in bed, panting hard. The room is dark, signifying it is still nighttime.
By the time my breathing slows, I'm already up and out of bed.
I ain't going back to sleep. At least, I won't be able to.
I pull out the choker that Shadow has given me. She told me to give it to him...but who is 'him'?
I walk down the stairs, the choker in my hand.
I open the front doors, which seem to never be locked at night for some reason, and I step outside.
Tonight seems to be in a very gloomy mood. Dark clouds cover most of the stars, leaving very little light for my vision. At least part of the moon is still showing.
I take a seat on the porch. I take the choker and hold it in front of me.
My guess is that this was Shadow's choker.
Obviously, this choker isn't a normal one. Whoever 'he' is will probably be able to tell me why.
But first, I have to find 'him'.
Then again, it seems really obvious to whom 'he' is.
Besides, I don't have very many options to chose from.
Rusl? Oh heck no.
Mayor Bo? Probably not.
Link? Most likely.
But what if it's not him? Then he may get into this mess with me.
He has his own problems, and I shouldn't add more to his plate.
Suddenly, I feel as if I'm being watched. My eyes quickly scan the area, finding nothing.
"Who's there?" I speak up.
And of course, I get no reply. My eyes continue to look around, the item in my hands already forgotten.
Maybe I'm just paranoid, I think to myself.
For some reason, I turn my gaze to the left. And there they are.
A pair of blood red eyes looking in my direction. But as soon as our eyes lock, the red orbs seem to disappear.
Those eyes...they seem familiar...
My legs seem to move on their own, following the dark figure in pursuit.
Chapter 10 is done!
Excuse my wanting to put an electronic in there. XD I just wanted to, M'KAY? Dun question it...
((((I thought it'd be funny introducing selfies))))
Anyways, please review!
