I had a lot of fun updating yesterday, so I just gave you a chapter the very next day. You know you love me. You just can't help it. I think this may be one of my favorite chapters, because, well, I just like how it went along.
I don't own the rights to Legend of Zelda!
Chapter 10
Link P.O.V
Impa quickly shoved us both out the door before jumping onto the houses' roof and disappearing towards the cries of people in need.
Stay calm. That was what was most important in a situation like this.
Pay attention.
I studied our surroundings, ignoring Zelda, who looked around franticly. It was very dark, and knowing the Gerudo, they were going to do the same thing they did to Zelda's village here. There was no way Impa could save everyone on her own.
Zelda leaned in and whispered, "What do we do?"
I paused, thinking about it for a moment. I really need to get my mind off… things, I told myself, stealing a glance at her.
Shrugging, I answered, "I was hoping we could kick some ass," She raised her eyebrows at my response, but her now red eyes had a smile shining in them.
"Fine, then. What's your plan, hero?" she questioned, tugging up the hood on her cloak.
"I say we charge through the village, take out as many Gerudo as we can, then meet at the exit."
She nodded in agreement, pulling out her Sais, twirling it in her hand. "Until then," she whispered, before sprinting away.
I watched her run into the dark, slipping beneath my hood. I withdrew the Master Sword, peeking down at it.
Too conspicuous, I decided, sheathing it again. I pulled out my hookshot and aimed it at the nearest rooftop, latching on to it. I touched down on the roof, pulling out my bow.
Squinting in the dark, I began searching for my first target.
Zelda P.O.V
I kept running, keeping my head low, darting between the shadows. Keeping my ears open, I was able to keep listening for any one in need.
I won't lie. Part of me felt rather guilty. If it wasn't for me, none of the Gerudo would be here, and this village wouldn't be in its situation. So it's the least I could do to save the people here. I may as well be the one leading them one day.
Suddenly a malicious laugh caught my ears, ending my train of thought. I quickly ducked behind a large crate, watching the current scene.
"I'm telling you, there's no princess here," a terrified voice was persisting, and I peeked around to see a woman holding onto two little, trembling children.
"All you Hylains are the same. We've searched every other village, where else would she be?" A new voice taunted, and the woman shook her head. I bit my lip, wishing the guilty feeling would vanish.
"There's never been any princess in Hyrule, I can assure you,"
"Alright, then how about the Hero of Time? He anywhere near by?" the voice was pressing impatiently.
"T-that's just a myth," the lady insisted, clutching the children tighter. Her voice sounded as though she wished it weren't.
I slowly slipped my hand into my pocket, curling my fingers around a few needles. I lifted my hand slowly, looked around, made sure no one was looking, and threw them at the girl.
The needles hit her pressure points in her neck, knocking her to the ground, unconscious. The family watched in shock as she fell to her knees, looking for who did it. I stood up straight and made my way to the small family.
They flinched as I neared and I outstretched a hand, assuring them I wouldn't cause any harm.
"Sorry if I frightened you," I apologized sincerely, pulling the family to their feet. The woman bowed gratefully.
"Thank you, thank you so much," she said gratefully, and I felt the tips of my ears turn red modestly.
"It was nothing. Please, take your children inside. Keep them safe,"
She nodded in understanding, ushering them inside. I turned around, returning to hunt for more enemies.
Link P.O.V.
I pulled back the arrow, and knocked the bow, hitting another Gerudo, watching her drop to the floor. I may have hit a good twelve at this point, and I let out a sigh.
I saw several Gerudo searching for me, looking for where my arrow may have come from. I rolled my eyes, reaching for another arrow.
Suddenly, there was a presence sneaking up behind me. I kept calm, trying not to seem tense. I continued to draw out the arrow slowly, when I swiftly withdrew my sword, rolling out of the way, just as the Gerudo swung her sword.
She clicked her tongue irritably as she watched me pull myself to my feet. I recognized her as the Gerudo from before, the one who recognized me.
She flipped herself over me, touching the ground behind me, tugging off my hood.
When she realized who I was, she glared daggers. "The Hero of Time?"
I bowed with a mocking smile. "In the flesh,"
Haha, Link's all cocky. So, please tell me what you think. Remeber, I write for you, so your encouragement helps, alot.
Gah, I lost my little green journal with this story up to chapter eight in it. Now someone has my writing, and, I could get published, and that'd be terrible! Ah, well, life goes on, I guess.
