Yay, I feel special, I got 4 reviews! that's the most reviews I've ever got per chapter! (pretty pathetic, don't ya think?)

So, I guess if I ever get 4 or more reviews, I'll reply to them:

Yusuke343- oh, don't worry, I'll get the scepter. I spoke of a new power? The only power I have is the one I found out about in chapter 10 (I can freeze stuff, and heal) maybe when I get the scepter I'll get a new power...

and, about the shadow temple...I'm currently writing chapter 13...and that's part one of Dodongo's Cavern, so trust me, it will take a long time, a VERY long time

The Kirby Emerald- yay, you reviewed again! Thanks!

R'N'Rer- um, as I said before I've already started chapter 13, hows about I put in your character after Dodongo's Cavern, kay? And just so you know, he won't stay with them throughout the whole story (sorry, but this story was originally not even supposed to have my friend in it, I was just bored and I asked her on I'm, and she's not staying the whole story either)

EverD- thanks for reviewing, and you got your request, for here is my update… enjoy!

CHPT-12: The Graveyard

Jess walked into the Hotel and vigorously shook Link until he woke up

"huh? Oh…it's you…hey, where's Sonya, isn't she going to sleep?" Link sat up and stretched

"she's buying a potion, apparently if you drink one it makes you less tired, and we have to meet her in the grave yard" Jess walked towards the door, motioning for Link to follow

Link yawned, got up, and trialed behind Jess towards the graveyard

When Jess arrived I was leaning on the gate "took you long enough" I stood straight up and began to walk into the graveyard

Jess followed me in, ignoring my comment

As we walked in, Navi and Stratta hovered over the big grave you see when you first walk inside

Link looked at the grave with a finger on his chin, intently reading it while I walked up the hill, Jess close behind me

"Link, come on!" I shouted back to him, noticing he was still at the entrance

Link jerked his head up from reading, and ran up the hill to where I was standing, in front of another big grave with a triforce on it

I pulled out my ocarina and began to play Zelda's lullaby, right as Link got to the top of the hill and stopped next to me

Suddenly we heard a huge rumble of thunder, and when we looked up we saw a crack of lightning streak thorough the now cloudy sky

Link looked quite surprised at the sudden change of weather, it had just been a nice, sunny day

Before Link had time to think more of it, a band of lightning came down and shattered the grave into many pieces, I shielded my eyes with my arm, Jess gave a small 'eep!' and Link just backed away

After the smoke from the rubble of a grave disappeared I said "c'mon, let's go! We gotta learn the sun's song!"

"NO WAY!" jess shouted "I remember this part! It's when all the zombies try to eat you!"

"fine, Link, c'mon" I motioned for Link to come, and I was about jump in

"zombies?" Link looked horrified "I don't want to get killed by zombies! Especially for one little song!"

I scowled at him and hissed "fine, I'll go in by myself!"

"you have fun with that" Jess said before I jumped in

"be careful!" Link shouted down with a worried look on his face

When I landed at the bottom of the hole, I quikly pulled out my slingshot and killed the bats, then I proceeded to go into the room full of acid and redeads

I covored my mouth and nose when I walked in, half because I was afraid the green fog in the room was poisonous, and half because the acid smelled somewhat link sulfur (and for those who have never had the pleasure to smell sulfur, it smells like rotten eggs)

I started to cough as I walked against the wall thinking I was safe, but of course, I was too close to the redead

The redead made a loud ear piercing screech, so loud that it paralyzed me and the redead began to lumber it's way over to me

Back above ground, Link's ears pricked up as he heard the loud shriek of the redead, his head turned towards the hole, and he stood up

"zombies or not, I've gotta help her, Jess, you stand guard and don't let anything get through this hole, from the sounds of it, there's enough trouble down there" with that Link leapt very ungracefully through the hole

"WAIT! Don't leave me alone-" it was too late, Link was gone, and Jess was all alone

When Link came into the room with the acid, he also put his hand over his nose, but he did it for mostly the smell

Link's eyes took a minute to adjust to the green-ish fog, but he soon saw the brown un-identified corpse slowly making it's way towards my pale, and very still body

"Sonya!" Link shouted, but it sounded a bit funny with his nose covered

"over here" I said, but because I was paralyzed, I could just barely move my mouth and it sounded very faint and kinda strange

Link ran towards the redead, unsheathing his sword, he struck the redead as hard as he could

Nothing happened

He whacked another time

Still nothing

"they take a long time to kill" I muttered

Link then started to continuously hack at it until he was out of breathe "man these things are hard!" he whispered to himself before going back to slashing it

The redead was now about a foot away from me, and I was getting scared that Link wouldn't be able to kill it

Link struck it one more time, and suddenly it gave a loud moan and dropped down to the floor

I felt life return to my once paralyzed body "feels good to move" I stated, while cracking my knuckles

"you owe me so bad, not only did I save you, I killed my arm while saving you" Link looked extremely worn out, and just from one redead

"who knew dead people could be so hard to kill" I chuckled "umm, thanks for saving me, but I thought you didn't like zombies, or redeads or whatever. And how in the world did you know I was in danger?"

"oh, I heard a scream" Link shrugged

"and you just leapt up and said 'oh-no, Sonya's in trouble! I have to save her!'?" I mused

Link blushed a little, and smiled "um…heh…sorta"

I smiled back "well, we gotta go learn that song now"

I put my back to the wall, even though it was wet and grimy, and sidled past the next redead, Link followed close behind

As we made it past the redead, we ran down the narrow hallway leading to the room where you learn the sun's song

The room wasn't that big, and it had skeletons spread out across the floor, I walked up to a stone wall with a carving in it

Me and Link both pulled out our ocarinas and began to play the song engraved in the wall

I actually messed up the first time I played it, but I got it the second time, and Link got it the third

"good, now c'mon" I walked towards the slender hallway leading to the redead room

"we have to go back in there?" Link complained

"oh stop whining, it's not that bad now that we have the suns song" I put the ocarina up to my lips and played the melody

All the redeads in the room turned white and stopped moaning and moving

Above ground with Jess…

Jess was getting really, REALLY bored, so she was sitting there with a stick doodling in the dirt

Suddenly the sun moved very fast-like to the horizon and it soon became night

Jess was obviously shocked, she looked around nervously and stopped doodling in the dirt

Back to me and Link…

"wow, I'm actually glad we learned the sun's song now! It's rather useful" Link said as we walked into the room with the 2 bats

"oh trust me, it's extremely useful!" I was so busy talking; I didn't even notice the bat coming right for my head

To my surprise, 2 bats started swooping at my head

Link also looked surprised at this; it took his brain a moment to register before he pulled out his slingshot, shot at the bats, and killed them both with one

But of course, just to my luck, Link killed the bats right when they were right above my head, and they fell right onto my face, making me scream

I grabbed the bats and threw them off my face in disgust, then I turned my glare towards Link

Link smiled sheepishly at me "hey, at least I killed the bats, right?"

"the bats aren't the only things that are gonna get killed" I muttered before I walked to the white platform that brought you above ground

"huh?" Link asked, following me onto the platform

When we got above ground, we found Jessica wandering around…ok more like being chased by the grave keeper

I slapped my hand to my forehead "oh good lord…what'd she do?"

Link looked at me as if expecting an explanation, but when none came he simply said "your friend is weird"

"Trust me, I know" I paused a moment then shouted to jess "WHAT IN THIS WORLD DID YOU DO TO MAKE DAMPE SO UPSET!"

Jess looked at me and yelled back "I got bored, so I started to pull out graves to see which one had the Hylian shield under it-which I found by the way-and he got mad at me!"

"well, at least she found it, right?" Link said, looking on the bright side of things

"right" I said, then I screamed "DAMPE! PLEASE STOP CHASING HER! WERE GOING TO LEAVE!"

Dampe stopped and looked at me "well, if you're leaving, Leave!"

Jess panted when she stopped but then walked out of the graveyard, me and Link close behind her

"So, where to now? Death Mountain, right?" Link looked at me curiously

"yup" I paused and looked at Jess "hey Jess, where's my shield?"

"oh yeah…I almost forgot, here ya go" Jess handed me the shield

When I grabbed the shield I almost dropped it in shock, it was heavier than I expected it to be, but despite it's heaviness I put it on my back, atop my sword holder

"umm…what about me, don't I get a shield too?" Link asked me, wondering if I had forgot him

I had completely forgot that I never gave Link his shield, and so I handed it to him, and I could tell he was also alarmed by the heaviness of it

Suddenly my eyes widened with realization "AW crap! The letter from Zelda, we never got it!"

"Nice going!" Jessica said sarcastically

"what letter?" Link had a confused look on his face

"Zelda was supposed to give us a letter, but we never got it, and it was the only way to get to Death Mountain!" I growled at myself

"Surely there must be another way to get in…." Link looked at me hopefully

After a moment of pondering I said "I got it! We wait till its night, wait for the guard to be asleep, then we climb the gate!"

"y'know that just might work…but how will we climb the gate?" Jessica asked while trying to think of a solution

"does the guard have a spear, like the ones in Hyrule castle?" Link asked

"…yeah…" I said trying to figure out why Link was asking

"good, all we have to do is find some rope, and if when he falls asleep he isn't holding his spear, we can tie the rope to it, throw it over, and climb the gate" Link suggested

"hey that's a good idea, but let my modify it a bit, instead of his spear, we use a sword" I said, not wanting to risk the guard still holding his spear when he slept

"yah, that'd probably work better" Link said in agreement

"I know! We could-" Jess started

"we already have a plan Jess, weren't you paying attention?" I looked at her blankly

"nope, not a bit!" Jess grinned like the idiot she was

I shook my head as I pulled out my ocarina and started to play the sun's song to make it day (I made it day so people, including the guard, would start up their lives and get tired)

We looked at each other

"uh, now what?" Jess asked breaking the silence

"I wanna explore" Link said before walking off

"I'm hungry" Jess also said, walking away

I now had 2 choices, watch Jess eat, or explore with Link, I bet you know which one I chose

As I walked alongside Link, who was taking in all the of his surroundings, I noticed a man in his early twenties leaning on the wall, his straw hat covering his face

I also noticed the man had what I was looking for the whole time we had been wandering around; rope

I grabbed Link's wrists, shocking him, and I dragged him to the man

"Excuse me sir?" I asked cheerily

The man looked at me, he had brown hair, and a thin mustache "Yah?" he asked sleepily

"I'm sorry to bother you sir, but I am in desperate need of the rope you posses, may I buy it off of you for…um…10 rupees?" I looked at the man hoping for a yes

The response I got from the man was not quite what I expected "wha-, hmm ok, sure, take it, keep your money"

I shrugged and grabbed the rope, and then I told Link we had to find Jess before we lost her

"ok, whatever, this isn't a very exciting town anyways" Link stated before following me

It probably would have taken us a while to find Jess…if she wasn't being chased by a very…stout…woman

"Again?" I sighed

"why does this keep happening to me!" Jess shouted while running away

"what'd she do this time?" Link asked me

"I'm guessing somewhere along the lines of; she needed money to buy food, so she went into someone's house breaking pots, hoping for rupees" I shook my head

Link looked at me, then at Jess "does she do that often?"

"not…usually"

Suddenly the woman stopped chasing Jess, but she threw a frying pan at her instead

Jess, being as lucky as she is, tripped over her feet and fell, just missing the frying pan

Me and Link ran up to Jess "are you ok?" I asked

Jess held up her wallet/pouch "I got money! And, yah, aside from tiredness and a sharp pain in my leg, I'm fine"

"good, we'll need food at Goron village" I stated, grabbing the pouch from Jessica

"wait, if it's a village, won't they have food shops there, surely the people don't travel down here every time they want a bite to eat" Link said

"no, people don't come down here to eat, because in goron village there are no people, only gorons, who's diets consist of rocks" I said, while walking into the local food shop

Link shrugged, and followed me in, Jess following

'kay peoples that's all you get for now, review please!
