Chapter 12
Zelda squirmed , as she tried to get from under Link's still form , but he was too heavy. She lay under him, her body wracked with sobs, as she tried once again to desperately turn him over. She could feel the sharp blade protruding from is stomach, as his crimson blood oozed all over her. Finally, she managed to roll him over onto his side. She sat and stared in shock for awhile, until she forced her quivering hand onto the hilt of the sword. She shook, as She wrenched it from his back , wincing from the slivering sound of the blade sliding out of his gut. She gripped his muscular shoulders, and lifted him as much as she could, and started to tromp through the mud, falling a few times, toward a tiny cave she had spotted earlier, leaving Darian at the hungry paws of the rapidly growing number of Wolfos around them.
The cave ended up being smaller than she thought, but it was the only shelter she could find. Zelda gently placed Link on cold stone of the wet cave. She made sure he was sheltered. Unlike him, Zelda was halfway out of the cave, the now icy rain dripping on her uncomfortably. She then proceeded to tear a few strips of cloth from her long silken pants, and her sleeves. She gently placed them over Link's stomach, and applied as much pressure to the wound as she could without making it worse. Her ears perked as she heard the faint sound of hail starting to clump on the trees, and clatter on the side of the cave. Great just what we need , she thought as she drifted into a not so peaceful sleep.
Zelda gasped as her eyelids opened. She had a rude awakening from a piece of hail that conked her on the side of her head. She moaned as she looked around, and all the memories came back of what had happened in the past two hours. Well, she thought, What's worse? Being cold and wet, or being cold, wet, AND hit on the head every five seconds. She yelped as another chunk of ice bounced off the wall and smacked her. She let out a sigh as she brought her hands up to rub her head, when she abruptly stopped, and stared at them. They were covered in blood from the cloth. Her eyes flew to Link, but her expression calmed when she noticed that the bleeding had stopped at last. The only think that made her uneasy now, was his raspy breathing. His breath hitched, as he coughed, rolled over and spluttered blood onto the ground.
"Link!" Zelda yelled. She was relieved that he was awake, but the blood he was gagging up wasn't helping her worries. She put her hand on his back to comfort him, and waited for him to stop coughing. When his convulsions had ended, he sat up gasping for air. Zelda could not believe what his first words were when he spoke to her; "Are you alright Zel?" She could have slapped him! "Am I alright! Link, look at you!" she yelled ," How can you be like that?!" Link was extremely taken back by her burst of yelling. His head was spinning and his ears were ringing, and Zelda yelling at him wasn't helping. "Be like what?" he whispered, trying to calm his pounding headache, " and please, Zelda, whisper." Stumbling on her words, she took a quieter tone, " How can you be so-- so stupid!"
He should have been angry at her, but he was too tired to yell. " Stupid?" he said raising his voice. " So I'm stupid for caring about you?" Zelda looked at him with disbelief " Link, why can't you care for yourself for once?" With that she hugged him, but their little moment was interrupted. Link hushed her and put his hand over her mouth. Outside the cave he heard scurrying and a ripping sound; like flesh, and the breaking of bone. They both looked at each other with fear in their eyes.
