AN: …Just read the friggin' story :D

Disclaimer: No. Previous chapters. I do however; own Melissa and her transformation form…thing. :/

Chapter 10

"Heh, heh, heh. It looks like we've got a run-away on our hands, huh?" Ganondorf lifted me up high enough so that my muzzle was two inches in front of his face.

He must of did that on purpose, because I saw this massive bloody…thing on the side of his face! It was starting to ooze puss though, just like Link's was. Gross.

"You did that. You…bit me"

Oh, ha ha sucker.

I bit him…In the Face!

'You mean in your face…' Sheik thought out to me, and I couldn't help but snicker.

Ganondorf narrowed his glowing red eyes at me, seeing that the bite I made didn't horrify me one bit. Heh.

That only caused Ganondorf to throw me towards the boys though. I yelped slightly as the action caught me by surprise. Heh, sucks to be the boys...i'm gonna land on 'em!

Crash! Snap!

Oh snap…what was that snapping sound?

Ouch, that would be my bone!

I landed on top of Link's right leg. I would of broken his neck his he wouldn't have moved. Thank the Goddesses he did…

That was my last thought before I blacked out from the pain.

---Time Lapse. Twelve Hours and Thirteen Minutes---

Ugh. My head.

I lifted my hands to hold onto my forehead.

Wait- hands? Since when did I turn into a human? I don't remember…

"Sheik…I think she's waking up…" Whispered a voice. I immediately recognized it. Link.

I groaned as the pain from before shot up through my whole body.

"Melissa…" Link again. Wow, he actually sounds concerned…

"Ugh", I groaned. "What…what happened?" I slowly fluttered my eyes open to look around.

Right in front of me was Link, a few feet away from me. He was currently sitting down and looking at me with pity and concern. Right across from him was Sheik…doing almost the exact same thing.

"It's a…long story. Wait until you get better and then we'll explain" Sheik informed me and I couldn't help but nod.

I was actually co-operating for once! Isn't that…amazing?

I slowly looked around my area. There was a campfire blazing a few meters away from me and I noticed I was under a tree. Oh, how sweet of them…

"Link…" I muttered softly. Surprise, Link actually heard it and 'hmmed'

"Er…what time is it?" My voice was barely above a whisper…

A pause and then, "It's about 2:30 during the day"

"Oh…"

I could feel my eyes drooping as laid there. Oh god, was I tired…

"Melissa…you should rest. I don't think you're fully recovered yet…" Sheik muttered from beside Link. The Shiekah was now facing the fire, his back facing me.

I would of glared at him, but my face muscles didn't want to work.

I nodded quietly as I closed my eyes completely. It wasn't long until I fell asleep.

---Time Lapse. Two Hours and Six Minutes---

I slowly opened my eyes to see Sheik staring at me.

I glared at him and he blushed before looking away.

Ugh. Idiot.

I noticed that Link was gone and-

"Before you ask…he went to get…firewood"

Pfft. Firewood, my ass!

I sat up slowly, trying to get up and stretch or something.

Sheik saw this and frantically asked, "Um…you should sit back down…"

I rolled my eyes before bluntly asking, "Why?"

"Err…."

"That's what I thought"

"You need more rest!"

"Pfft. Nice try. I'm going to stretch or something…"

Before Sheik could stop me, I got up on my feet.

My bones cracked from lying down so long as I stretched tiredly.

I felt a draft all over my body and when I looked down…

I was only in my undergarments.

I growled before glaring at Sheik in the eye, with an expression that screeched, 'Explain, before I rip out your organs!'

"Uhm…you see. Err…you were wounded by Ganondorf before and umm…we had to er….treat it?"

Wow, Sheik is really bad at lying.

Just then, Link just had to show up with a pile of firewood in his hands. When he saw me, he dropped his firewood rather quickly and put on a slightly panicked face.

Grr. Someone better explain this…

I glared at the two as I slowly sat back down.

I looked around quickly for my clothes before biting out one word, "Clothes"

"Huh?" Both of them dumbly asked.

I could and would have punched them both square in the nose…if it wasn't for my slight problem of my clothes…

"Oh! They're over here…I'll g-g-g-et 'em" Sheik stuttered on the last word as he got up and walked swiftly away.

While he was doing that, I turned my glare towards Link who was slowly backing away. Good idea…

"Why. The. Fuck. Do. I. Have. Almost. No. Clothes. On? You. Fucking. Pervert!"

"You were wounded and we had to clean you up" Link responded, rather calmly might I add.

"Bullshit," I spat. "What's the real reason?"

"That's the real reason. Look at your body and see for yourself…"

I looked down and I saw a gi-normous scar running from my right shoulder down to my hip. Wasn't that there before?

"No. It wasn't-" I glared at the stupid Shiekah for interrupting my thoughts. Now was really not the time…

I looked more closely as I searched my body for this 'fatal wound'

I found what I was looking for. And you know what?

It was on my leg, running from the bottom of my calf to my kneecap. Of course, it was covered by bandages and stuff that I assumed came from Sheik's costume.

Pah! I glared back up at them and they flinched slightly.

"Why, out of all things, did you guys have to take off my fucking clothes for a damn leg wound?" I venomously spat out at them.

"We wanted to check if you had any other wounds that we should take care of"

Hm, odd. Link said this thing calmly too.

I didn't believe them though. They seemed like the type who would do that for fun…

"You see- Melissa. We aren't the…" I glared at Link for to shut up, but he just glared back and continued, "We aren't the type to do that. Get that through your damn thick skull of yours. We would have dressed you back up…but we just couldn't. It already felt really weird mostly undressing you…"

Wait- mostly? They-

"That was a bad choice of words, Link" Sheik mumbled under his breath.

"Melissa. Listen. Why would we do that for fun?" Sheik asked.

Ugh. "Because you guys are perverts, that's why. Also…"

Hmm…

Sheik smirked slightly but Link remained impassive. What was with that kid? Shouldn't he be like…blushing all over now?

"For your info, I'm not a kid. You said you were sixteen. I'm seventeen"

Oh shut up, green elf boy.

I could practically hear my teeth grinding against each other as I grabbed my clothes and got dressed. They were watching, probably with blushes, but I didn't really give a damn right now.

I would kill them later.

I grabbed my bow and quiver that we lying down on the ground and strapped them onto my back.

"Melissa! Where are you going?"

I didn't look back as I answered gruffly, "Away from you two"

---Time Lapse. A few minutes. Yes. That's all---

I continued to stomp away from the two. I was furious. No, I was a lot worse than furious.

Ugh. My head hurts! All of this glaring, screaming and yelling as got to damage my health somehow…

A growl came from a Stalfos that randomly decided to pop out of the ground in the middle of the daytime. I growled back though, as I reached for my bow before stopping. I grinned like a cat facing a mouse as I powered up my fire move that only work when I was mad…

"Wait! He's a friend!" Zelda dashed out in front of me and put out the fireball that was forming in my hands. Damn her.

Wait- this thing is a friend?

"Yes. He is. He is actually a human, but was cursed to a Stalfos. I don't know what his name is…but he's cool"

Wait- Zelda!? How the hell did she-

"Escape? I really don't know…when you dashed off as a wolf…that seemed to weaken Ganondorf's powers so I could easily break out of the crystal. You were already gone though." She added as an afterthought.

Zelda glanced around, "Where's Link and Sheik?"

"At the camp…"

She sighed slightly before asking, "What's the matter?"

I grumbled in response and Zelda groaned. "Ugh. Those two are idiots. I'll have a chat with them. Take care of this Stalfos for me!"

She left. Just like that. Weird.

The Stalfos and I just continued to glare at each other. I had a feeling this would turn into a wonderful friendship.

No, not really.

I continued to walk away…wanting to get Nightfire, my horse, to come here. I growled in my throat, as I had to resort to walking. After all, walking is for suckers.

---Meanwhile…with Zelda, Link and Sheik---

Link and Sheik watched as Zelda walked up to them, looking rather distraught.

"Listen you guys, she's really ticked off. Go and get her before she does something stupid…"

Link opened his mouth to protest, but got cut off by Sheik.

"Ha! Like she said, 'she doesn't need our help!' Let her die for all I care!"

"But she's our Messenger!"

"Who the hell cares? She's a bitch. Nothing but it. I don't see how you could possibly like her, Link…"

---With Melissa…---

It was nighttime. Ugh. I hate nighttime. I could hear the creatures of the night make noises that made me paranoid.

I knew they wouldn't go looking for me. I mean, I was acting...badly.

And I still am.

I still couldn't believe they took off nearly all of my clothes though. I mean, they must have a lot of nerve to do that…

Especially with me.

I looked behind me to see the Stalfos stopped following me and I rolled my eyes. Thank the Goddesses it did, because I was about to boot it across Hyrule Field.

When I turned back around, I suddenly wished that the Stalfos were here. There stood at least 100 moblin, staring at me. I probably looked like a panicked deer trapped in headlights and I slowly backed away.

For each step I took backwards, the moblin army of 100 took one step forwards. Towards me. Damn them!

I started backing up faster this time but they wouldn't-

Oh, screw this!

I whipped back around and I started running. With the moblin army of 100 chasing after me, weapons raised.

---With Zelda, Link and Sheik---

Zelda turned around as she met her 'pet' Stalfos. The creature just came around a minute or two ago, and Link was still having trouble adjusting to its presence.

The Stalfos spoke in a dry voice, "Melissa. She's in danger. Army of 100 moblin. Chasing after her"

Link bit his lip and he knew that she wouldn't go running to them for help. Not after what happened.

"Link and Sheik, let's go save us a Messenger!" Zelda said, rather enthusiastically.

"But Zelda…she won't go running to us for help. Not after that…I just know it!" Link informed angrily.

"Well, it just so happens I have a trick up my sleeve…" Muttered Zelda. She explained her plan to the Hero and the Shiekah.

---With Melissa---

I turned back around now, my muscles screaming for me to stop. I did, but I whirled around on my heel. If I was going down, I'd might as well take a few moblin with me, eh?

I drew my bow and quickly nocked an arrow and fired it off randomly into the crowd of 100 moblins still chasing me. I started to back up instinctively as they came closer. The arrow slammed into a moblin's chest, knocking back a few behind it.

I continued to fire arrows as fast as I could, not noticing the edge of the cliff behind me.

I remembered stepping backwards onto air and I lost my balance. I remembered my leg nearly snapping in two and I fell backwards and down. I still kept a tight hold on my bow though…if I were to survive this.

I looked down where I was going to land very soon. Jagged rocks. For the second time in this world, I screamed.

---With the crew---

"Wait- what? We can't-"

Sheik was cut off as a high-pitched scream echoed towards us.

"Melissa!" Link yelled after the scream as he picked up his sword and bolted towards the sound.

Zelda and Sheik had no choice but to follow.

---With Melissa---

Splash!

Wait- water? Wasn't I supposed to…die?

I swam up to the surface, only to get caught in something. I couldn't see what it was, as I instinctively shut my eyes from the water. That was one of the worst things I could of done.

I winced as I opened my eyes and they immedietly began to sting. I saw that I was caught in some sort of net…and there were several sinkers on the end. A fishing net. A huge mother-

Something bumped against me and I turned around quickly. I was running out of air, and fast.

Behind me, was a shipwreck. That must be the fishing boat. But what bumped into me?

My question was soon answered as I narrowed my eyes to see through the water. A skeleton was there, on the ground. Flesh was still around him and his eyeballs looked like he was staring at me. Freaky.

That would have been tame- compared to the shadow temple- if it didn't move.

The skeleton blinked once, twice and three times as it looked at me.

My lungs started to ache and I tried to swim to the surface.

I was stopped by that stupid net though.

I was drowning, and I couldn't save myself.

I started to lose unconciousness when I heard a voice.

"Melissa…don't give up. I will give you extra air to help you escape and live. Please forgive Link and Sheik…they didn't know."

They didn't know-what?

Whatever though…

I felt my lungs getting air as I fought frantically to get out of the net. I seemed to get myself in more tangles though. I glared at it before I felt a boney hand touch my shoulder.

I whipped around to see the skeleton talking to other skeletons and then pointing to me.

My vision started to go all blurry again and I blacked out.

---Time Lapse. Unknown time length---

Ugh. What happened? Am I dead?

I opened my eyes slowly as I coughed up water. Nope, I'm defiantly not dead.

I looked up, with horror, to find that I was in some kind of cell. All around me were skeletons, but they were moving around. At least I wasn't in the water anymore…

A big skeleton approached me as he roughly grabbed my shoulders and dragged me out of the cell before dropping me in front of an even bigger one. I realized that he was the King, hince the crown and such.

"Who are you?" A deathly voice echoed all around me and I looked up to face the Skeleton King. "How did you get in the Water of Death?"

"Uhm…I fell in when I was being chased my a pack of 100 moblins" I informed.

The Skeleton eyed me up and down before walking around me.

"How old are you, and what is your name?"

I would of hit him for being an ass if it wasn't for he was practically all bones. That would not be a smart idea.

"My name is Melissa and I am sixteen years old"

"Melissa" he tested out my name before asking yet another question, "You are the Messenger of the Sages, correct?"

"Yes"

"Look into my eyes. What do you see?"

The Skeleton King tilted my head up with his boney hands. I had no choice but to look into his eye holes. My eyes widened as I saw me, on earth, being sucked into a portal not once…but twice.

"That was you, correct?"

"Yes, it was"

"Since you are indeed the Messenger of the Sages, we will keep you here for a few days before letting you go"

The Skeleton King flicked on wrist as I felt myself being dragged away towards my cell.

I was roughly thrown in and the door was locked behind me.

I groaned and I looked at my leg.

I pushed myself towards one of the corners that were not bone-infested and for the first time since I turned into a teenager, I cried.

I cried out in pity and pain. I cried that I might die here and I cried out of fear.

---With Link, Sheik and Zelda---

"Link. We have something urgent to tell you!" Whispered a voice in Link's ear. He stopped his frantic running as he listened.

"This is the Goddesses Farore. Melissa fell off a cliff and into the Water of Death," Sheik's eyes widened slightly because everyone could hear what was being said.

"She ended up a prisoner there of the Skeleton race and they are planning on killing her, no matter what they say. You need to get her out of there, as she has a broken leg among other things. Hurry. She does not have much time left"

AN: Ha! Cruel cliffhanger…

I had to stop it somewhere though…XD

Again, there's a few inside jokes in here and I won't tell you what they are. You gotta guess! XD
