Chapter 10: I Can Save You
The Twilight Bubble expanded over the room lighting it up with dim light. The link to my realm returned to me. I made the bubble of twilight return to me. The witches all looked in my direction, one raised her hands and the landscape zoomed out of focus and the outside door was now in front of me.
"Zane" I turned to him. "I don't know you very well, and I'm about to do something very stupid." I could feel his eyes on me.
"I'm not leaving! I've been wanting to take an adventure like this for so long. And I am not going anywhere as long as I can help." He placed his hand supportively on my shoulder. "I'm coming with you even if you are doing something stupid."
"Alright it's your body, or life." I could tell he was serious. "Ok it's time to go"
"Where are we going?" I had already turned my back and started walking down the street when he finished his sentence.
"We are going back to where I got here. The middle of the desert north of LA." I stopped to look at his face. He looked stunned.
"How are we getting there?" He voice sounded confused.
"I think with my new powers." I answered him and stopped when we got into another ally way. "Hold on to me." His arms wrapped around my waste. Volts ran up my body and back down. My body became softer, then started to whisk through the air. Xane body followed behind mine. We hit the ground hard falling out of the air. Both of us got to our feet.
"Midna aren't you able to teleport on your own?" His question didn't catch me by surprise.
"Yeah I can but only when my real powers are available to me. Basically only at the peak of night here and in the twilight realm." My hand moved in a wave for him to stop talking. From the inside out I released the twilight bubble. It expanded over the landscape and in the distance I could see Ralf and Harrison's house. Just now did I remember I stole their truck and using what power I could use right then I summoned to their driveway.
"How are we getting to the twilight realm from here?" Xane asked right after the boom from the truck hitting the ground sounded in the distance.
"Blood-Binder vampires can see dimensional rifts." I looked around at the landscape. "This must be why Jadin gave me his power."
"Why are we going back if there are thousands of armies waiting for you to come back to kill you?" He gave me a sarcastic look.
"Because I have to save Link I can feel if he dyeing." My worry for Link was getting bad but at that moment I noticed a golden square not far to my right.
"Then I think we will need help." He raised his eyebrows.
"Who did you have in mind?" Being my normal size I looked down at him.
"Willow." I nodded at his suggestion but then remembered how she has a problem with me. Xane was alright summoning her. She couldn't teleport directly inside the twilight bubble but when she got outside she used green light to make an arch through the bubble. Willow joined our group and gave me a hateful look. Xane and Willow looked at each other and nodded. I directed us to the flat golden square. It had a pull, we stepped inside. We were back inside the stairwell that had led me to the world of light. I started down the stairs and they followed me close to my sides. After some time down the endless stairway and not finding the entrance to my room Xane pulled my arm. "There was something that this stairway reminds me of in the books I read to learn about this place. It was a stairway that never ends going down but has a top. It's the space between the Twilight realm and the world of light. The stairway only comes to the person who needs it the most. It's an escape!"
"Well, I need to find Link can it lead me to him?" I directed the question at him.
Xane started to speak when Willow interrupted. "Yes I can get us there." Her hand was on the wall for less than a second when the wall imploded with a boom. She pulled Xane in. I followed fast behind her. My guards heard the sound and ran to the front of me. They blocked my way, their skin and armor was darker and resembled the invaders.
"Get the princess." They all chanted. Willow without warning kicked the air in front of her. Behind her foot black magic expanded hitting all of the guards into a wall. There bones shattered with large cracking sounds. Willow continued to run faster down the hall. More guards came after us and Willow kept knocking them down. We all turned left down a hall way that I remembered let to Dexis's library. Once inside I sealed the door with a vampiric charm.
"What now." Willows tone was fierce.
"We have to find Link then get back to your world." I walked to the window and looked back at Xane. He was looking at Willow like they were talking. Out the window the army patrolled the grounds of my castle. The once bright sky was a bright red. The banging on the door stopped. A strange feeling illuminated throughout the air.
"Something's coming." Right then black pieces of matter entered the window. The pieces assembled into a wall with a person chained to them. My eyes saw widened at the sight of Link on the wall. His eyes opened glowing red and the chains released his shadow covered body. A sword of red light formed in his hand. He ran at me with his sword swinging. Xane jumped in front of me with the master sword illuminated. The two swords hit each other with a loud boom as the two powers within them collided. Link got blasted into a bookcase and Xane blasted into me.
Link was on his feet fast running straight at me. Willows black kicking power expanded and hit him into another wall. But his body didn't break even a bone. He was back on his feet running to me when he stopped. His blood sprayed in my face. Xane had lunged the master sword of light into his stomach. His body started to crack with light as Xane withdrew the sword from him. Link grasped his stomach the shadows left is body fast and the light expanded over him. He fell to the floor and was purified from the inside out.
I was to his side fast and he was dying from the stab wound. "Link… I found you."
"You saved me." His breath was dyeing and his words were horse.
I grasped his shoulders and pulled him on to my knees. "I can save you." He didn't seem to hear me.
"Thankyou… I got to see… you one more…" His words trailed off and his pulse started to slow down.
Tears filled my eyes. "I can save you." His eyes started to dim. I pulled him close into an embrace. "I can save you." Now I couldn't stop the tears from falling.
"I… I…" Link could no longer make a word.
I can save him… I'm a Blood-Binder… I can save him…
I positioned his neck to my mouth. I felt fang grow in my mouth. "I'm gonna save you!" I bit into his neck. When I felt his heart about to stop I withdrew my mouth and cut my arm. My arm hovered over his mouth and the blood fell down his throat. His heart stopped and his breathing started again. My body felt weaker and my arm let go of Link. I looked at the ceiling.
Then I felt like I was falling and about to hit the ground.
