Me: Already chapter 25 yay! This chapter is going to be pretty short since the memory isn't all that long, I hope that this didn't surprise anyone that it's another memory lol. Memories are fun to work with for some reason and I don't know why, maybe because it gives you such good back-stories to certain characters. Anyways read on and let me know what you all think I'm missing the reviews, though that's my fault since I hadn't updated in a long time.
Disclaimer: I still don't own anything apart from the bad guys. Go figure.
Enjoy ;P
Link's P.O.V.
I followed Crow back out of the sewer which was much easier than it was when we had to make our way down into the sewers, a lot more pleasant too. The trip was much quieter than normal, Crow didn't seem to be much in the mood for talking, I think the memories were actually starting to get to him, but that's not surprising they were getting to me too. Not only were we seeing Bruiser's memories, we were feeling them as well, all the fear, sadness, and hopelessness, it was all too much to put into words, and what we were feeling was only half of what Bruiser actually felt. I wanted to ask Crow about it, but my voice still refused to come to me and he was so focused on the trail that I doubt I could get his attention even if I tried.
By the time we made it outside again a severe blizzard was raging covering everything in a white blanket. I felt Crow grab my wrist as he yelled over the winds. "I can barely see the trail, grab my wrist so we don't get separated." I nodded, not that he could see it anyways and grabbed onto his wrist as well. Our progress became slower and slower as the wind and snow got stronger and stronger. After awhile I began thinking that maybe the Ice Demon was behind this, if so that meant we must be getting closer to it. But what did Crow plan to do when we got there? I knew what I was going to do, I had to fight it, I had to end that demon once and for all and I wasn't going to run back to a girl to complete that task for me. No matter what they say about her. Crow tugged on my hand and I ended up stumbling into him. "It's a town." he said without looking at me. "We need to be careful, I've never been here before so I don't know what to expect." I squeezed his wrist to let him know I understood and he nodded, well I guess if I had to get stuck with someone Crow wasn't a bad guy to have to be around. As we got closer to town Crow suddenly slipped and I stumbled down as well but managed to catch myself and him before fall into a ravine. He looked up at me with some relief and I pulled him next to me just as the wind started dying down.
"Hehe, that's twice now you saved me." he said with a laugh. "Thanks, but, what did I trip on?" he dug around in the snow some until he pulled up what looked like a remote control of sorts. Suddenly the air rippled like the other times and we were thrown into another memory. The snow was gone and the air was warmer, once again screams filled the air. We turned around to see Bruiser's group of survivors running towards the ravine, only this time there was a bridge leading into the town.
"Come on, hurry up!" he yelled hurrying the survivors up as fast as he could. "We have to detonate the bridge now!" Suddenly the scream of a woman rang through the air as she tripped down and fell, a ghost appeared and loomed above her preparing to attack, Bruiser turned toward and fired three successful shotgun blasts and helped her up back and she immediately started to run towards the bridge. A marine ran up beside Bruiser as they headed towards the bridge.
"Sir we can't hold the bridge!" he yelled panting. "We need to blow it up! Now!" he emphasized as they ran over the bridge. Bruiser gave a nod and the marine yelled out. "Detonate the bridge!" The bridge was engulfed in a fiery explosion just as Bruiser and the rest made it across the bridge.
Bruiser stopped for a split second before yelling. "Head into the town! Let's move!" he looked at the bridge as fiery pieces fell onto the ground below the destroyed bridge before running with the rest, not even glancing at the angry ghosts that were disappearing on the other side.
The air rippled once more as the memory ended, Crow collapsed onto the ground before straightening up. "Well that explains that." he whispered staring at the remote. He looked around and stood up. "I can't find the trail..." he said looking around more. "Anywhere, I can't find it."
What do you mean you can't find it?
Are you tired?
He looked down to see what I had read and shook his head. "I can't get tired, and my batteries are still almost full. Usually the trail shows up after we see the memory but now it isn't, is there another piece around here? No I doubt it, maybe the Ice Demon is around here somewhere, but where? It should have attacked us by now if it was. So then where is the trail." he seemed almost panicked so I thought quickly before writing.
Ok, well calm down first,
I'm sure it will show up,
just give it some time first.
It'll show up I'm sure,
that demon obviously wants us to follow it.
It'll show us where it wants us to go soon.
But for now let's find shelter in the town.
Before another snow storm shows up.
He stared at my message for a minute before looking around once more before nodding. "Well have to climb down and then climb back up on the other side, it'd be too much out of the way to find another way across, and I'm not in the mood to build a bridge." I nodded and followed Crow down the raven hoping on the other side we might finally get closer to saving Bruiser, I don't want to remain in his debt for the rest of my life, I still don't know how long that will be.
Me: Ok so yay! It's finally updated once again and I still have some hours of the day left haha. I had to take a super long break because of all the laundry I had to do :( I hate laundry when it takes me away from my stories. Sigh, that and one of my clothes went missing o-0 well shit that sucks, oh well that's too bad. Anyways two more chapters guys, I hope your excited for the ending to this story, it should be a long one.
Later ;P
