Here is Chapter 14, and although the title refers to Link, it is about the end of the chapter mainly. And I'm sorry but, the reviews from the last three chapters have been hysterical by all means when you all get the gist of what is happening to Lucas, Marth and some other characters who still have their pain left to come. I would like to thank everyone who has reviewed for this story to continue on living. Enjoy chapter fourteen: Link's New Leaf

I needed a damn good explanation of why this kept on happening to him. Every smasher in the room ran up to Lucas, and now where screaming their belligerent heads off. Wolf did something to that cup of coffee and I wanted to chase him down so much, but then I saw Link slam Wolf into the wall so I guess he had it taken care of. I gave all my attention to Lucas, who was coughing up a green, goopy liquid. It splattered on my fingers and I screamed, the goop burning my finger when it hit me. Poison, riddled with acid. I couldn't contain it.

"His drink had poison and acid in it!" I screamed. Everyone looked at Popo, who had given him the drink.

Popo threw his hands in the air. "I did not poison Lucas! Sorry folks, but I'm fifteen, not a thirty year old psychopath who shoots and poisons little eleven year olds!"

Marth's eyes turned to rage as he remembered something. "Wolf! He did it," He whirled around to me. "Remember, he bumped into Lucas by accident. He slipped the slimy substance into Lucas's drink! He is a murderer!"

Pit, whose hands were glowing gold as he began to chant, opened a bleak eye. "He'll live, but he needs to get to a hospital stat. Dr. Mario can't heal him."

Those words made me lose it. "WHAT!" If Dr. MARIO can't fix him, how will an old, ignorant, human hospital save him?!"

Pit flashed me a calm-down look. "Does Dr. Mario even specialize in poisons?"

That made every one shake their head in assent but, since Marth was the only one who was still remembering about the injured boy he had enough of simple talk. "Pit you need to shut up! Someone call 9-1-1 and then get the f*** out so the ambulance can come!"

Some people were angered about Marth's persuasive language and tone but, if you weren't right there when it happened, Marth didn't want you sticking around. Marth, Pit, Popo and I made a circle around Lucas. Pit said he was all right to touch so I grasped his hand and held it tight. The way Lucas's skin was peeling and turning into a shade of fauna made me think that this poison was far worse than what it let on.

"Come on Lucas, come on! I know you can survive this, I know you are stronger than what anyone says you here, I-I, I know Claus would be proud of you." I said aloud, praying.

Pit gave me a look, thinking I was turning insane, mumbling nonsense to myself. "Who is Claus?"

Marth put a hand on Pit's shoulder. "Don't ask Pit, I'll tell you later."

I flashed Marth a glare, kind of thinking telepathically to him. "No Marth, don't do that. Remember when you were attacked for knowing about the aura, who knows what they would do to Pit, because A. he's an angel, and B. he can freaking heal people. They would kill him on the spot."

Marth must have received my thoughts because his face hardened. "Actually Pit, never mind; you don't need to know."

Then there was the sound of an ambulance and two men rushed in, with a stroller. There was a man with a shaggy beard and a clean shaven one. The clean man looked down at us. "What's the current situation um kids?"

I don't know why but, getting called that was…. not right. Did anyone in the outside world know who we were? "Actually sir we are all not kids, just me, the boy whose been poisoned, and the freaking angel to my right officer."

The bearded dude yawned. "So? What is the kid's problem?"

Marth stood angrily, and unsheathed Falchion. "This kid has been poisoned and if you assholes don't get your shit together, I will both cleave you with my sword. Understand what's going on now gentlemen?"

Clean shave snapped awake as if he was in some trance. Working like lightning, they grabbed Lucas, put him on the gurney. With a flash they were strolling out, Lucas now in mediocre medical leave. "Good luck Lucas, good luck." And I was surprised to actually get a response.

Lucas's feeble voice perceived into my brain. "I don't need luck Ness. I have you as my luck."

Link was sweating uncontrollably. "Wolf, you poisoned Lucas?"

Wolf unbuttoned his jacket. "What's the big deal? He'll heal."

Link smacked the sandwich from Wolf's hands as he was about to take a bite. "The kid is eleven. You almost ruined his life!"

Wolf sneered. "You ended the wimp's brother seven years ago. What makes it different?"

Link face palmed. "It wasn't right with what I did and now you've gone too far. I simply quit."

Wolf never heard that word in his life. "Quit, what's quit?"

Link turned on Wolf, his Master Sword in his hand. "I'm not going to work with you anymore. What I did was plain wrong and you were about to end an eleven year olds life. I regret what did to Claus so many times over but, I still stuck around with you. But, sadly I can't continue."

Wolf's face was now in anger. "What are you talking about?! You shot the kid a week ago on the terrace and then entered his dorm later that night ready to stab him! How is that not trying to kill the boy?"

Link shot an arrow at Wolf's head, but missed. "Because I missed the heart on purpose, because I stabbed a pillow instead of Lucas, because I don't want anyone to die anymore. Capiche?"

Wolf's voice was impossibly soft. "You do realize that when I go after the boy, you won't be safe anymore from dying, and then if you would be out of the way, the kid would die not having a guardian angel anymore."

Link sheathed his sword, and swung his bow over his back. "It's a chance I'll have to take," There were sounds of loud commotion coming down the hall. "I believe that are the rest of the smashers coming to drag your ass to Master Hand. If you want to continue your death spree, I suggest leaving, now."

Wolf shrugged. "Whatever Link. But, remember this. I'll always have the instinct to get blood; it's a wolf's second nature. I have the instinct to kill, the instinct to hide when danger is near, and dammit, I'm good at it."

Then he was gone, leaping out of the window with a flurry of howls. Zelda and a group of twelve angry smashers had run in, their weapons and powers ready to blast Wolf to hell. They were surprised when they saw Link.

"Where's Wolf?" Zelda asked Link.

Link shrugged. "Out the window, through the woods and to exile he goes. He jumped out as soon as he saw me," Link lied.

Zelda raced to the window and sent a fire ball at Wolf who was down on the ground, running towards the woods. She missed. "Crap, I missed," She looked back at the smashers who congregated by the door. "Go tell Master Hand we got a fugitive on our hands."

Then I stepped into the room. "And also tell him that he's gray, wears a purple vest and is going to die at the hands of a small twelve year old PSI user." I added.

Link's eyes opened in surprise. "Ness, you want to kill him!"

There was an unspoken fury in my voice. "That foul thing that should be called an animal poisoned my friend, shot Lucario when he protected Lucas, kidnapped Marth and beat him bloody with his own sword, and; the grand finale which took the icing on the cake, he killed Lucas's family," I said with a flourish. "Oh yes, for the suffering he has made Lucas go through, is only going to be the beginning. I will make him lick his own blood from the grounds where he will lie dying. He will pay, he'll pay hard."

Ness is pissed, ready to blow a hole in that lupine. And isn't it sweet how everyone is treating Lucas when he's injured? Wolf is just a complete coward but, he'll be able to do his secretive madness outside of the mansion. You'll see. And Link, you must be scratching your heads at who the hell Link really is. Well, you'll have to wait. There are plenty of more chapters left to come. Up next is Chapter 15: Dreams of an Angel which hopefully will be posted this afternoon. There is also a poll on my profile about your favorite character in this story and I would love your input. I will close the poll when all 50+ chapters I have planned are complete. And one last thing, REVIEW this story and you will all get the chapter 16 early! So review! Love you all!
