-Nope, don't own Zelda.
Tsunami finished cleaning Link's wound on the back and was busy with one on his stomach. There was a piece of wood wedged in the cut. Tsunami took it out while Link turned his head and bit his pointer finger. " I'm sorry, I didn't mean for that to hurt." Tsunami said looking up but having to put her head down for a wild red was going across her face like a prairie fire. " That is ok, I knew it wouldn't feel too good..." Link said letting go of his finger. " What do you think that was anyway?" she said getting serious. " To tell you the truth, I don't know...I wish I did though." Link said, looking out the small window. Cleo had gone to check out the forest, she hadn't wanted anyone to come with her. Link was looking at Tsunami while she was cleaning his cut. * What is this feeling I feel every time I look at her? What is it, I have never felt it before. She is a good looker, plus she is so docile...oh, what if it is, no cant be, I haven't known her for more than 3 days...* Link thought as she finished putting some gooey stuff on it. " That should help that heel." Said Tsunami. " Well, guys, it isn't out there." Cleo said. " How did you do that?" Link said. The door was in front of them, but she was behind them. She just smiled. * She is so strange* Link thought, trying to see if he missed anything. " But, the whole time, I felt as if something was breathing down my neck, when I turned to look, nothing was there. And there was this weird howling/chuckling sound I kept hearing. Strange..." Cleo said, starting to mumble something to Link. " I, in my opinion, the dark rider was after you, but I was just an obstacle in the way. When he realized that Tsunami was here to, he fled, having to think things over again. But the questions are, why is he after you and why was he trying to take my horse?" Cleo said. " True, true. Mabey, he took the horse to get you out of the way, and it didn't go as planed. Or mabey he didn't know I was there to. But, anyway, we know now, he has it in for all three of us." Tsunami said, voicing her opinion. " Ok, but why is the main word." Link said. " I'm tired, and we should all be going to bed, it is probably passed 11 now. Good night." He said while getting up. The minute he hit the bed, he started snoring. Tsunami made her bed closest to Link's bed and Cleo made hers right by Tsunami. Tsunami had already fell asleep. Cleo lay awake thinking to herself. * Why is he here? What does he want? What does that have to do with Chitcotae? * And that was her last thought before, she too, fell asleep.
The next day they rode to Lon Lon Ranch and the head stable manager walked up to them. " Hello all. I have two foals I want you to take to town and try to sell for me. But first thing is first, last night something or someone came and stole 5 cows and 3 horses. That includes my prized breeding stock mare, Phantom. She was worth some money. And she was about ready to have a baby. I want you to find them. One of the stable hands said she saw a dark, cloaked figure." The chubby man said. " The dark rider..." whispered. " What is that you say?" the man said. " Nothing, nothing at all." Link said.
"It must have been the thing that attacked me last night. Ya know it was trying to take my horse." Cleo said getting her horse ready to ride. The man had asked them if they would look for the missing livestock. They had been in the forest looking for about an hour, when Link jumped off Epona was looking at some broken branches. " Well, they haven't been broken that long..." Link mumbled. Crystal lifted her nose to sniff something. At that moment, both horse and rider got a big woof of something that didn't smell to good. " Does, does that smell, smell like something dead to you all?" Tsunami said. " Uh, yeah..." Link said. " Gross!" exclaimed Cleo. " You go this way," Link said pointing at Cleo and nodding to the west, " and you go this way." He said looking at Tsunami and pointing east. " I will go strait..." he said looking into the tangle of vines.
Cleo was walking and the smell was getting worse. * I have a feeling the thing that is dead is close...* she thought to herself. She moved a bush and what she saw took her breath away.
Link was moving steadily ahead and the smell was not getting any worse, nor was it not going away. He was thinking to himself and he saw a tree root ahead. * What doe this thing want with the---* he hit the ground hard. " I was thinking so much that I didn't do anything about that tree root." He said mentally slapping himself.
" Well, I know I'm going in the wrong direction. I cant smell anything." The blonde haired girl said. She turned around just when she heard a yell, she knew it was Cleo.
" Oh, my god... Guys, come here, now!!!" Cleo screamed. She heard the breaking of twigs and branches. " What?" she heard a breathless Link say. Tsunami came up behind Link, nearly running into him. Cleo moved the slighted bit and the two gasped. All five cows were dead, and dying. There was two cows moaning in pain and the other three had died a while ago. They all had gashes in there stomach. They look like they had their insides gorged out. " What could have done this?" Tsunami said. " They...they had their insides like eaten or something...poor things." Cleo stuttered. One of the moaning animals took its last intake of air. The other cow was moaning still. " You guys, if you want to turn around, its ok." Link said looking at the two petrified girls. They did cause they knew what he was going to do. In a moment the moaning stopped. Cleo started to walk away, going nowhere in general. " Cleo, stop-" Link started to say. " Just let her go..." Tsunami said. " Tsunami started in pursuit. Cleo was leaning against a tree. " Well, at least they are in a better place." Tsunami said. Tears were threatening to spill over on Cleo face. It looked like she was starring off into space. Tsunami looked to see what she was looking at and say something covered in leaves and grass. It was a huge lump on the ground. " What is it?" Tsunami said. Cleo calmed herself down and walked over and uncovered the tip of the front part. She gasped and stepped back. It was a dead horse; it had a slit throat. " Link...Link come here..." Cleo said. " What do you- what are you looking at?" Link said looking over. He walked over and uncovered it. " Well, it has a broken leg, and the person had the decency to not make it suffer." Link said. " Well, that's not as bad as those poor cows..." Cleo said. " True." Tsunami said, sadly. " I wonder what happened to the two other horses? This is one of Lon Lon Ranch's horses." Link said, thinking hard.
