The plots actually going to begin in the chapter after this! :D
Link, worry clear on his face, cried back, "Don't worry! We'll get you out of there!" He turned to me. "Let's go."
I nodded As we approached, five of those creatures jumped out and attacked us.
We dodged and regrouped, backs together. "All this over a monkey?" I said exasperated.
Link laughed. "Seems more trouble than it's worth, doesn't it?"
The monsters began to close in on us. Link looked at me over his shoulder. "Wanna go with that?"
I looked back at him. "Sounds like a plan."
The creatures lunged at us all at once. At the same time, I ducked down, and Link spun in a circle, hitting them all and knocking them back.
As soon as his sword stopped, I leaped into the air, bringing my sword down in a horizontal strike. It's head cracked open as it fell dead on one of its kin. I brought the sword down on the one trying to shove the body off itself, killing it instantly.
Green blood splattered on my face. I turned to see Link had taken out two of his own.
One ran for its life. Neither of us bothered to go after it.
Without wasting a second, we ran over to the cage and busted it open.
Beth flung herself onto Link, while Talo and Malo ran into my open arms crying. The monkey jumped up and down. "There, there." I said gently as I patted their heads. "Everything's okay, now. You're safe."
I remembered Link saying pretty much the same thing that time I was crying back when I first came here.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
We came out of the cave.
Epona whinnied when she saw us and bobbed her head happily. Link grinned. "Hey there, girl." He said.
Talo looked at the ground sheepishly. "If you guys hadn't come... Us and that monkey would've gotten eaten probably!"
"Yeah." Agreed Beth and Malo.
"She's actually a pretty nice gal, that monkey..." continued Talo, "She tried to protect us, so we got captured together."
I smiled. "Oh?" He nodded.
Beth spoke next, "Oh, and Link, Twyla, you're not gonna mention this to our dads, are you? They're always telling us to never, EVER go into the forest, 'cause they says it's dangerous. So you really can't tell them! Really! You have to promise!"
I raised an eyebrow. "Beth, guys, you three could have died today. If you were you're parents, wouldn't you want to know if your children were in danger?"
Beth dropped her head. "Yeah... I guess so." I smiled and glanced at. Link.
He took the hint and continued, "We won't tell, but you've got to. Understand?" The three of them nodded. "Okay, now go on home."
"'Kay!" They chimed and took off towards the village.
I scratched the back of my head. "Honestly, I've only been here three months, and yet I feel as if I've aged to an old woman with this worlds strangeness. Not that my world was any more normal, that is. Although, we didn't have blue monsters trying to eat us. Just wolves and other animals like that..." Link chuckled. Turning to him I said, "So! Shall we head back?"
"Yes. But first..." He reached out with his hand and wiped the green blood that had splattered on my face clean. "Much better."
I touched my face. "Haha, thanks." He smiled.
Next chapter we're actually gonna get somewhere~
