Hey guys!!
Really sorry about not updating sooner, been kinda busy and I was working on another Zelda fic which I posted around two days ago. If you like zombies then check it out!
SO i just thought of something, wasn't this story supposed to be about Link being a slave?
HAH
Well that's just my inability to stay in one place for more than a few chapters I guess heh.
Oh and I know the whole plot with the resistance seemed rushed but il explain that better in this chapter.
Link rolled over, half awake but half asleep. He couldn't remember where he was right now but he didn't care. He was extremely tired and nothing felt better than just laying in a warm bed for the first time in a long time. He rolled over and with a thud, collided hard with the ground. He opened his eyes and sat up confused. He had just fell out of bed. Link rubbed his eyes and slowly stood up, when he looked around and it all came rushing back. He didn't remember falling asleep last night. All he remembered was drinking copious amounts of something. His head pounded like someone was punching him. Apparently this was what a hangover was like...
He pulled on some neatly folded clothes left on the side of his bed and went to find Anju. He arrived in the kitchen and to his surprise found Zelda and Anju sitting at the table giggling, for the first time Zelda wasn't wearing her flowing pink clothes, instead she was wearing a simple dress, probably Anju's. She seemed as bubbly as ever and had no problem getting on with Anju. They noticed him standing there, yawning.
"Good morning!" The pair said pleasantly. Anju forced him down at the table and shoved some brekfast under his nose.
"Did you sleep well?" Anju asked. Link nodded, forcing a grin. He slept fine but was extremely sore from all the walking yesterday and still had a hammering headache.
"So when shall we leave?" Anju asked getting excited. Link looked at her blankly.
"For the HQ" Anju said. Link's heart sank. He had forgotten about that.
"HQ?" Zelda repeated blankly.
"Oh, whenever you want" Link answered whilst pulling Zelda away from the table. He had to explain to her about their little dilemma.
Zelda took the news surprisingly well; in fact she seemed more interested in going back and getting more food than anything. He missed out the part about her father. He decided to tell her when she asked. Around midday Anju and Link decided to go for it. The only problem being that if Ganon's followers spotted them they would be in deep trouble. Anju inched the door open and peeked outside, it was an extremely humid day and the whole village was empty. Although most people were probably indoors in the shade Anju thought that the emptiness would most likely be explained by most of the villagers moving to Hyrule town. But she couldn't be too careful. Ganon had spies everywhere.
She moved out into the shadow of her door and hurried Zelda and Link out, she closed the door and the trio swiftly moved down Anju's steps. They stopped in the shadow of Anju's house. No one was around. Trying to look casual Anju pointed out the building where they were headed. It was literally right next to them. Link frowned.
"All this...for that?! The buildings practically next door to you!" Link exclaimed.
"Hey, can't be too careful!" Anju said grinning. They snuck in the building quickly and closed the door behind them.
The building was the complete opposite of what Link expected, instead of a large well warmed room, with several burly men gathered around a fire drinking; he found a small dingy, musty room which was extremely dark. Cobwebs lined the walls and the only objects in the room were several abandon crates. Anju (still smiling) walked across to the room, completely unfazed by the darkness and distinct sense of danger. Link felt Zelda shiver and grab his arm. Link pretended not to notice and instead just swelled up his chest and walked forward towards Anju. She was pushing one of the smaller crates to one side with apparent difficultly. Link helped her push it out of the way; she thanked him and got on her knees. Anju felt around for a bit until she lifted up a large trapdoor.
Instantly the whole dingy room filled with warming light, Link peered down into the whole below him. It was a large warm room with several lanterns lining the walls and a large fire in the middle. Aside from several chairs and the fire there was no furniture in the room, just loads of crates, supposedly supplies. Several men sat down beside the fire watched the trio descend into the 'HQ' Link helped Zelda down into the hatch, Zelda of whom was extremely pale and quivering slightly. Anju shut the hatch behind her and turned to face the men.
"Anju, you better have a good reason for letting thes-"The gruff, bearded man who was addressing Anju suddenly stopped when he saw Link.
"By the goddesses!" He exclaimed breathlessly. The other battle scarred men scattered about the room who were previously chatting merrily, stopped dead and every man (and several women) turned to face Link.
"Is it really you?" The same man asked. Link just stood there, he slowly started to realise how hot it was. He shuffled his feet uncomfortably until Anju broke the silence.
"The rumours are true, they escaped and they stayed at my house last night for refuge." The whole room stared at him and Zelda emitted an involuntary squeak, she clutched Link's arm for a bit until after a few more seconds of silent staring the whole bar erupted into cheers. The whole bar ran over to Link and everyone was groping desperately, trying to thank there 'hero'.
Heh, promise il get better at endings.
So, the whole resistance idea WILL be explained next chapter in greater detail, promise.
Again im sorry for the slow updating. I will try and get another chapter in before the end of the weekend.
