A few notes: First of all, I'm not getting rid of Malon and Nabooru. They're important parts of the story (I know the whole Nabooru storyline seems pointless and all, but it IS important), and I've had this story pretty much planned out from the beginning, so I'm not just changing it because of reviews. (Your reviews are important to me, though.) Second of all, sorry it took so long to write this chapter! I was grounded from the computer (long story) and now I'm back online, so here's chapter five:
Wait! One more thing: some of you said to get rid of Nabooru because she doesn't like Link enough. I'm not going to kill her just because of that! It's just another part of the plot...
Chapter 5: Wanted, Dead or Alive
Saria stalked back and forth angrily, thinking of nothing but Link and Malon. How dare they do this to her when it was so obvious that she was in love with Link? How dare Link betray her like this?
Saria sent a bolt of green energy at the curtain that hung in her door angrily, and the entire thing went up in flames. Link had probably noticed she was missing by now. Good, she thought. I hope he worries. I hope he goes to hell!
No, she didn't want that, exactly, but she did want Link to suffer for what he did, and this was a perfect start Worrying was probably one of his worst habits, and Saria knew this all too well. Sighing, she made herself invisible and whisked off to the Forest Temple to check on it. She didn't want any of the Kokiri to see her in case Link came by the Kokiri Forest and asked if anyone had seen her.
Inside the temple, Saria fed the Stalfos in the front entrance and continued on to her favorite room, the garden chamber. It was beautiful and well-lit, unlike the rest of the temple. But then something clicked in Saria's mind and she went back into the ritual room of the temple that had four torches of different-colored flames and stood in the very center. She began to chant:
"Wyslany w podróz morska i wy straciliscie. Ja jestem zalujace mówic to ale ja bedzie musi miec wy rzucaliscie! Przyjaciel, teraz mój wróg znowu, ale to jest czas dla was umierac! Tak mówie wasze imie: LINK!"
The last word she screamed so loudly that the very walls of the Forest Temple shook, and then Saria realized that she had no idea what she had just said. It was some ancient forest curse or other, and she quickly rushed to a room where she kept her books on the subject and looked it up. It read:
"Przeklcie Okrutnego Szczcia, or Curse of Cruel Luck, is a spell which will last for seven days and seven nights. During this time, anything the person whom you cast the spell on will have nothing but misfortune. To reverse this spell, say the entire thing backwards."
Sighing, Saria closed the volume and hurried back to the altar, knowing she had to reverse the spell. She didn't want Link to die or anything like that, after all. With some difficulty, she chanted:
" Imie ezsaw eiwom kat! Careimu saw ald sazc tsej ot ela, uwonz gorw jom zaret, leicajyzrp! Ei csilacuzr yw ceim isum eizdeb aj ela ot ciwom ecajulaz metsej aj! Eiscilicarts yw i aksrom zordop w ynalsyw: LINK!"
Then Saria sat down wearily, her mind still full of Link.

"Saria? Saria? Are you in there?" Sighing, Link turned back and headed toward the main house of Lon Lon Ranch, where he knew Talon would be sleeping. Trying desperately to avoid Malon's eyes, Link kept his head down and marched into the house quickly, hoping she wouldn't follow him.
To his surprise, Talon was actually not asleep for once. He was feeding the chickens with slow, lazy gestures that made Link tired just looking at them, but the very fact that Talon wasn't snoring among the Cuccos made Link laugh.
Talon looked up suddenly and smiled when he saw Link. "What is it, Linky-boy?"
"Er...have you seen Saria around lately? She wasn't in either stable..." At least, I certainly hope she wasn't, thought Link. That wouldn't have been good at all. But Talon just frowned and shook his head, saying he hadn't seen Saria since the night before.
Sighing, Link went back outside the stables and said to Malon, "I hate to break it to you, Malon, but I have to leave. I can't find Saria anywhere."
Surprised, Malon answered, "Are-are you sure you have to leave right now? I mean, Saria can take care of herself, she's a Sage and all...she probably did that light-teleporting thing, or whatever it's called. Won't you stay just a bit longer?"
"No!" said Link, not really angry with Malon but angry with himself. He should never have done anything with her, he should have thought, he should have controlled himself...but he hadn't, and he would have to live with that. He was about to play Epona's Song when he realized that Epona was still hurt. "Malon?" he asked, turning.
"Yes, Link?" she asked, her eyes shining with anticipation.
"You might want to take a look at Epona. She isn't doing too well." And then he strode away from her, leaving her with such a sad expression on her face it would have caused Ganondorf himself to feel compassion.
~~~
Link walked quickly through the field, trying to get out of hearing range with Lon Lon Ranch. He couldn't stop thinking to himself things like, What was I thinking? and, I am SUCH an idiot!
He paused in the middle of the field, about halfway between Lon Lon Ranch and Kokiri Forest, and played Saria's Song softly on his Fairy Ocarina. He knew that Saria's enchanted ocarina would pick this melody up and contact her. But after waiting a few minutes, he realized she wasn't going to answer.
I hope she's okay, he thought, and began to run quickly toward Kokiri Forest.
~~~
Ruto stopped herself and Brandon in the middle of Zora's Domain, right smack dab in the water. She let Brandon slowly sink to the bottom so that he would get more oxygen than he would by just breathing in normal air, and then she swam rapidly toward the only doctor known in Zora's Domain.
"Tom!" she shouted, looking extremely worried. "Tom! Get over here and check on Brandon NOW! He's hurt...he was shot in the chest...I think he's dead..." Ruto's voice slowly trailed off, and she started crying, to her surprise. She didn't like Brandon that much, so why would she cry if he died?
That was a bit harsh. She would probably cry if any of the Zoras died, but she felt as though a part of her had been ripped out, and she didn't know what to do.
Tom was already at Brandon's side, to her relief, checking his pulse and breathing rate and things like that. After a few moments, he said, very slowly and so softly only Ruto could hear, "He has no pulse. He's not breathing." And then he added laboriously, "Princess Ruto, he's dead."
"No!" A strangled sound came from Ruto's throat and she knelt by Brandon's side in the water, tears coming out so quickly she couldn't tell them apart from the water around her. She put her head against Brandon's chest and sobbed loudly, wishing there was something she could do...
Maybe there was. She was a Sage, after all. She had to be able to cure him! She had to! She knelt by him and tried desperately to think of something, anything...but nothing came to mind.
That wasn't fair! She was a Sage! She was supposed to be able to do anything!
She closed her eyes from grief, leaned down, and kissed Brandon gently on the mouth, still sobbing.
And his eyes sprang wide open.

Nabooru appeared with a pop in the Spirit Temple, surprising Michael so greatly that he nearly fell off the giant hand he was sitting on. The way Nabooru was looking at him was beginning to bother him when she finally spoke.
"Someone's wanted in Hyrule Castle Town." She smirked flirtatiously at Michael and added, "Can you guess who? I'll give you a treat."
Sighing, Michael said, "Hmm, that's a tough one. Maybe it's...me?" As if it weren't obvious enough.
"Nope. Your brother is, whoever that may be. Apparently no one knows exactly who that is, just that he's a guard at Hyrule Castle. He raped that Malon girl, and now he's wanted, dead or alive."
"Daniel!" Michael sat up abruptly. "This is all my fault...Nabooru, I've got to go to him!"
"And reveal his identity? I think not. I'll present him as a gift to the Gerudos, how's that? I daresay he'll have fun with them..."
Out of other options, Michael nodded his head solemnly. Nabooru laughed in her usual carefree way and left as quickly as she had come.
~~~
Okay, so Zelda didn't pray in this one like I said she would. Sorry. I know this is really short, but I wanted to put something up and I figured this would do. Next chapter will be extremely long, and it will be about a month and a half after the last one for several reasons...oh, and one important girl is going to die in this story. Can you guess who? Whoever does is really awesome...
Thanks to the people who reviewed my story, too many to mention. You all rock! ;)
Wait! One more thing: some of you said to get rid of Nabooru because she doesn't like Link enough. I'm not going to kill her just because of that! It's just another part of the plot...
