And They Waited
It began when I gave away my secret. I didn't want too,
but I didn't want to die either. And, and that mean kid might have killed
me... But now, I think I should have just tried to run past him, he wanted
to get to Queen Gohma, not hurt me anyways. After that happened 3, 2, and
1 wouldn't talk to me, they just left. I tried to get out, but I hadn't
been near the entrance for years. I couldn't find my way out, and on my
way back to my lair, I found 2. He was lying on the ground, ripped and
clawed to death. I think the thing, for that was it, might have killed
me too, for he was waiting and watching in the shadows. I saw his big,
yellow eyes. He opened his mouth, showing his large, sharp, deadly teeth,
and I couldn't move.
I screamed, and a host of Deku Baba's charged into the
room. I whimpered, and the thing left. I talked to them, and they said
that they were heading for the door. I followed them, and got in line to
leave. Then, the giant mouth began to close. We all dashed for the door,
and would have made it, but one of the Babas tripped, and I went down,
and so did another. Eventually, we met up with a couple others, but they
were scared senseless.They were no help, so we left them there.
We formed a coalition against the thing, two babas and
a scrub. I wished for my brothers, but they had found the way out, or so
I hoped, for their sake. At first, we would venture out from time to time,
but each time we would hear the thing, or come across one of it's victims.
The thing, oh the thing, I wasn't even sure what it was. Over time, the
whole tree was covered in stench, it's stench. The thing did seem to have
fur, but that wasn't much help. Then, it seemed that it was following us,
so we stayed in the room. Then we barricaded the room with wood we scraped
off the walls. There was no way in except through the barricade.
Eventually, the thing would probably smell us, or hear
us when we dared to whisper. It would look at the barricade, and realize
there was a room back there. Oh we could hear it, especially when it caught
things... the screaming, and a long howl. Did the thing make the howl?
One time, we thought we were goners. It was my watch, and we could hear
the thing right outside the room, and it walked up to the barricade, and
we were sure it would come down to a fight which we would lose.
The noise was horrible, it must be almost out of victims.
Sometimes we could hear it clawing at the dirt in frustration, usually
right above us. The end is near, we're out of food, the thing will find
us any minute, then it did. It wasn't angry when it clawed the dirt, it
was tunelling into our room, hoping to catch us by surprise. It did. We
will put up a brave fight, I am firing Nuts right and left. Link, I will
get you for this, someday, somehow.
