AN: In this chapter, Melissa is a bit 'direct' with the readers (you guys, in case you didn't know! XD) by sharing secrets or thoughts. I would just like to point out though, that my readers and reviewers are some of the best people I've ever had contact with over the interweb. No seriously! I know that sounds cheesy and that a lot of authors say that a lot…but it's true! I feel…

Whatever though.

Oh, news! There's a super early sequel to this, entitled 'Awakening to Hyrule' it's with a different character, but I think you guys'll like it! .

Okay, I'll shut up now. START THE STORY ALREADY!

Chapter 12

"Melissa…" A male voice called my name softly.

Mmmph.

"Melissa." The same male voice, a bit sterner now though.

Go away.

"Get up!" The voice was getting frustrated.

No.

"Must you always be this stubborn?" The voice huffed.

Yes.

"Sheik! I can't get her up! You wake her up somehow…"

Ugh. Stupid Link. If I could I would-

Oh wait- Sheik can probably hear my thoughts right now…so that wouldn't be good. At all. Nope.

I heard Sheik chuckle slightly and I groaned. I didn't want to be woken up!

Who didn't though, after they only got three hours of sleep?

I couldn't get a good night's rest, much to my annoyance. I kept on dreaming something…but I couldn't remember what. All I really remember is a bunch of words that would not be suitable for children.

Ew, not those kind of words…you perv!

Anyway, I kept on having dreams…dreams of me dying, or anyone else that I know dying a horrible death. It's actually quite disturbing, no wonder Zelda's paranoid all the time. She apparently has those dreams all the time.

"Melissa! Get up! It's really urgent! We need to talk, now!" Zelda's voice. Probably about the dream. Let me guess, she had the same dream which means that It's a part of my destiny or something cliché like that and then I have to bust my ass for the next few months or so trying to defeat an overlord who is corrupted and evil.

"It's about your dream!"

Ugh. You know, I hate it when I'm right.

I groaned again before opening my eyes. I instantly sat up when I saw everyone's panicked faces. Crap…

"Tell me about your dream" Zelda demands as she stares me down. Pfft, what nerve.

"My dream…well," I start, beginning to panic. I mean, you would too if you just had a dream of you dying a horrible and gruesome death. "I don't remember much of it…"

That was a complete lie. I remembered it vividly, but they didn't have to know that…right?

"Wrong. Tell us"

Oh snap. Stupid retarded Shiekah can 'hear' what I'm thinking. I forgot.

I didn't want to tell them of my dream, but it seemed like I had no choice.

---Time Lapse. Ten Minutes---

"Holy crap! That's the exact same dream I had last night!" Zelda exclaims rather loudly in my ear. I wince at the loudness and she says a quiet apology.

I couldn't help but notice that Link seemed a bit…tense. He was staring off into space and I raised an eyebrow.

He must have noticed me staring at him, for he quickly put on a lopsided grin and winked. I blushed slightly.

Damn hormones…this better not give Link the wrong idea.

"I actually had the same dream too…but mine was a bit different in the beginning" I narrowed my eyes; I didn't like how he presented the second part.

"How was it different?" Zelda asked. Probably to get me all riled up, for I was sure she already knew.

"Oh, nothing much really" The Hero of Time glanced my way again and gave Zelda a look that I couldn't really place.

Ugh. I hate this, man.

Despite my non-verbalized protests, much to Sheik's delight, Link continued.

I purposely zoned him out though. I didn't like how he glanced at me and it just plain freaked me out. I have a feeling that this isn't going to go good.

I noticed that Link glanced at me again and a faint grin crept onto his lips. I managed to avoid blushing my face off (stupid hormones!) and I scowled.

He seemed slightly taken aback, but didn't say anything. Ha, that's what you get you perverted-

Shiek burst out in laughter from my internal bickering with myself and I just glared at him.

Link and Zelda raised an eyebrow, but seemed amused. Maybe they could read my thoughts too?

Nah. I doubt it. Unless…

No. It would be too risky.

I let a smirk slowly go onto my lips and Link seemed to turn nervous. Ha!

Just between you and me, I actually wasn't thinking of any evil plotting- yet. But I just wanted to freak Link and Zelda out.

Which I did. So, I know they can read my thoughts. Just freakin' peachy.

"Anyway Melissa…ermm…about your dream," Zelda started, as if trying to ignore my 'evil plotting' "Are there any details you might be missing?" She put more stress on 'might' and 'missing' as if they would help me remember.

I furrowed my eyebrows in thought, thinking through my dream. I don't think so…

Actually, I did miss a lot of detail that I'd rather not go into…but I lied anyways. I don't think they know the difference. Or care for that matter.

Besides Link, but he doesn't count as a person.

"Oooh, harsh!" Sheik beamed at me while I just rolled my eyes. I glanced over at Link to see that he was in deep thought, as if trying to think up a comeback.

I smirked. Good luck. They don't call me the 'Teh Queen of Sarcasm and Wittiness' for nothing you know!

I hoped that didn't have a double meaning. Apparently Link thought of something because his frown flipped into a triumphant smirk, "You don't look really smart to me, woman!"

My eye twitched. Ouch, my poor inflated ego is permanently damaged by this quick blow.

Ha. Fat chance.

"As a matter of fact, I don't even know why Ganondorf wants you anyways…" He trailed off as he saw my horror-stricken face and smirked at me again. He found my weak spot. He knew I was sensitive about Ganondorf wanting to marry me…even if it does make him jealous.

"You're not pretty," he paused as if to collect his thoughts. "You're beautiful"

Ugh. I can practically taste the cheese he's radiating off right now. He just said that to make me blush, which I totally did not do.

I glared at him and was about to open my mouth to berate him some more if Link didn't shut me up with a glare of his own. Oh man, it's so on now.

"And besides…Ganondorf's obviously desperate"

Ha! So are you, dorkface. I grinned slightly, but that only made Link's smirk turn into a frown. Ha.

I knew I hit the weak spot and he cringed. Serves him right. I just flipped the battle over like a verbal ninja.

"Ouch. Melissa! How the hell do you manage to be so harsh like that?" Sheik exclaimed, trying to not laugh his ass off.

I snickered, to which Link glared at, and I boasted, "Well. It's not that hard after all. I mean, he is supposed to be the legendary Hero of Time! I'm actually surprised that he's mentally wounded after that" I paused to see what Link would think and he was glaring at me as if I just announced that he died. Sucker.

Despite Link's unspoken threat for me to stop, I only smirked and continued, "I mean…even with the Master Sword and the help of the sages…he doesn't even have the guts to face Ganondorf yet!"

"Neither do you…" I heard Link grumble. I narrowed my eyes and him before finishing up, "I'm hurt Link, I really am. But really, there's nothing better than-"

"Me?" A dark voice spoke from behind me and my eyes widened in absolute horror. Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap!

"You know, I had a dream last night too" Ganondorf sounded like he was smirking and he whispered in my ear, "And it was about you…" I flinched, wanting to get away from his perverted and desperate ass. Good God, Link wasn't kidding…was he?

Ha, I can't believe he set himself up for that one!

I could see that Link flinched and looked pissed off that Ganondorf leaned in close to me. I swore that I would kick them both where it hurts if they try anything. And I mean anything, even if it's a simple as flirting.

I tried to get out of the way, but Ganondorf had he arms practically wrapped around me…preventing me to go anywhere. I looked pleadingly at Link for help, and he seemed to smirk slightly before waving his hand as if he didn't care. "Go ahead and take her. There's plenty to go around"

Bastard. I am so going to follow through with my plan on making him infertile once I'm free.

"If your free…" Ganondorf harshly whispered in my ear. I scowled as I instinctively elbowed him in the gut. He doubled over from the sudden impact and his eyes were wide in surprise. I grinned in victory before sprinting away from him. I didn't get five steps away though, when Link pushed me back towards Ganondorf. It's like…

What a fucking asshole! That damn traitor, I'd outta…

"You outta do what? You naughty girl…" Ganondorf hissed into my ear and I felt my face go red. I cursed the existence of hormones at this point, silently wishing for me to get a pair of steeled toed boots and follow througth with my threat.

I smirked slightly at the thought. I couldn't help but feeling betrayed though. I mean, Link did practically shove me over to Ganondorf. That's what so confusing though…

Wait a second- something's fishy around here.

I glanced at the three 'heroes' in front of me in suspicion. I tensed when Sheik wasn't there, where the hell did he go?

Wait. I think I understand it now. If that was the real Ganondorf…he would of…and then I wouldn't…

Oh, what a bastard. I scowled as I flipped him over my shoulder, a move that I learned back on earth from one of my friends who was a black belt. I grinned in triumph when 'Ganondorf' slammed on the ground and transformed into Sheik. I glared at the stupid-

"Oh. Where'd Ganondorf go?" Sheik nervously asked as he looked around.

I want those steel-toed boots now.

"Up your fucking perverted ass, you damn…" I trailed off in my incoherent grumbling to see that Link was fighting to not laugh. His shoulders were shaking up and down though, as if he was laughing silently. I glared at him, but that didn't make him stop.

He doesn't know what he's gotten into now. I smirked a bit, trying to ignore my embarrassment and utter stupidity.

Obviously, Link paid Sheik off or something so that our relationship can deepen. I scoffed at the idea. If anything, it got them both further up shit's creek if you take my drift.

Hah, I actually made a pun! And it wasn't even intended too! Awesome!

Zelda started to smile at me, as if she knew all along. Bitch.

She seems taken aback by this insult though. And damn right she should be.

I feel like I can't trust them anymore.

Hey, you know what might be good or bad depending on how you look at it? This exact same thing happened in my dream. Except I eventually died from my own self-pity, I think. Either it's a badly timed coincedence or they're just trying to freak me out by the fact that it's eerily similar.

I knew for a fact that Link would be practically on his knees, begging Ganondorf to let me go if that situation was actually serious. Or he would be fighting for his ego or something equally pointless like that. Stupid Testosterone.

They don't know how paranoid they just made me.

I was actually starting to trust them- but they just turned around and stabbed me in the back with a dagger they said that they weren't going to use against me.

I smirked a little, as if it would ease my sudden paranoia. Just to make Link feel like a dumb ass and to make him emo for the next few days, I made up a blantant lie.

Link didn't seem to realize that though, because he was cursing himself outloud about how much of an idiot he was. Ha! How right he is…

Just between you and me though, my fib was that I was actually starting to warm up to Link, but that situation just 'tore my heart into fragile pieces.'

I found it amusing when Link kept on cursing himself. Ha. He'll chew on that for a bit. I liked the wording I used too, for it made Link all the more emo.

I couldn't help but feeling bitter though as I turned around of Link's disses. After all, there's a lot of men to go around. Link expression of self-hatred quickly turned into one that wanted to strangle any male that I came across. Oh yeah, he's so jealous right now.

I smirked in triumpth as Link continued to berate himself. It was actually extremely funny to know that the Hero of Time, who was supposed to be powerful and couragous, would have a weakness like that. Ha, I would laugh in his face…but that wouldn't end up too well for me, I'm sure.

No one dared say a word as Link was muttered about suicide. My eyes widened slightly before turning into a suspicious frown. Ha, he's not going to trick me that easily.

He continued to mutter incoherently though as I was staring at him. I had an my left eyebrow slightly raised and a contented smirk on my face as if to say, 'You totally just dug your own grave'

Which he did. Not literally of course.

Hopefully not literally.

He was still muttering about suicide and him slitting his wrists in Lake Hylia or something equally as 'horrifying' as that. If he wanted my pity though, he would have to work for it. He wouldn't get on my good side that easily.

Especially not now.

Oh yes…I should explain where we are now, eh? We are currently under a shaded tree, courtesty of Sheik finding and I had the best spot with the most shade. I assumed this was Sheik's attempt on trying to get me to not throttle him.

Ha.

I scowled as I angrily approached Sheik and slugged him in the arm. I felt a bone or two crack, and I winced slightly from the pain. It apparently wasn't as bad as Sheik's pain was though. He blurt out several 'colourful' curses at me and even vowed one day that he would break my arm, to which Link flinched at. Hah, this amuses me. Too see that Link actually cared about me had a weird feeling hanging around with the fact that Link's probably smitten with me. I scoffed slighty. Poor kid, he'll be disappointed to know that I'm going back as soon as this is over.

But then I remembered that I possibly couldn't go back. That I'd by stuck here with Link forever! I would die of misery knowing that he would try to impress me every minute of the day. I rolled my eyes. The only thing that would impress me is…

I paused to see Link's reaction. To my extreme amusement, he perked up, as if to find out my answer.

Ha! He actually took the bait!

I had to stifle some laughter before continuing my train of thought.

The only thing that would impress me is an Aero Chocolate Cone sprinkled in fluorescent yellow sprinkles with a rose or something through the cone.

Heh, that outta get him confused and frustrated for the rest of the week.

Link raised en eyebrow at me, but I just rolled my eyes. Idiot.

AN: This chapter didn't really serve that much purpose. It was more like a filler chapter. A long filler chapter. Yeah. XD

I had fun writing this one though! I love torturing Melissa! O.o
