…And we're back with another exciting installment to my story. Thanks for your patience and support! Shall we continue? *Warning: It gets a bit cliché…you'll know when. ^_^

Disclaimer: Is this really necessary? I mean, do you really think I, of all people, own the game? I didn't think so. Onward!!

Chapter Eight  -Jessica's View-

I really couldn't understand where Navi was going with her plan of hooking me up with Link. I mean… He's Link! I'm Me… Two totally different people. Well, technically speaking, he wasn't really a person, but he in a way, he was. He showed emotion just as I did.

He's real.

This is real.

The game is real.

And it confused the crap out of me as to how all this came to be.

I began to reconsider that I may be dreaming.

However, my racing thoughts slowed to a comfortable pace as I stepped out of the inn.

Navi had shooed me out of my room to search for Myakka. The girl hadn't been in the main lobby (if that's what you want to call it), and not knowing what else to do, I decided to come out and get some fresh air.

The night was pleasantly warm, a bright full moon casting its radiance over the quiet town. A few restless crickets chirped noisily, and I heard the faint moo of a cow.

This place was so amazing! I didn't want to leave. But I knew I had to. I needed to find a way home… Fast.

Aside from the noises I already heard, I suddenly heard a new one, coming from nearby. It sounded like… Someone mumbling?

Who would be out this late at night?

I smirked at myself. I am… So at least I'm not the only crazy one here.

"Hellooo?" I called out softly, peering into the darkness.

The mumblings came to an end, and I heard someone clear their throat.

"Are you okay?" I inquired. I honestly hated being nosy, but I wanted to make sure the person wasn't hurt.

"I'm fine," a female voice snapped out coldly. Myakka stepped out of the shadows. Her green eyes shimmered frigidly in the faint light. "Why are you out?"

I should be asking you the same thing, I thought but replied, "I couldn't sleep and decided to get some fresh air."

She gave me a suspicious look, as if she didn't believe me. I didn't care whether or not she did. If Myakka had a problem with me, she could just kiss my… "Navi sent you, didn't she?"

"What?" I looked at her, surprised at the abrupt question. How did she know?

"Navi. Stupid fairy bitch…" Myakka's voice was harsh and hateful. How could someone hate a fairy? They were so innocent and magical. But we're talking about Navi here. I had grown to like the tiny talker, but she was pretty annoying.

"What do you have against Navi?" I asked, trying to defend my new friend.

Myakka blinked. But it wasn't a normal blink. Instead of horizontal eyelids, she blinked with a pair of vertical ones.

My jaw dropped, and I took a cautious step backward. "Maybe I should be going."

She did it again. "You can't leave yet, Sweetie. I haven't made my sacrifice yet." She stepped toward me with a clawed, out-stretched hand.

Myakka was changing right in front of me. She began to look more and more like a monster. Not very descriptive, I know, but when something like that is coming towards you, you don't just stand there and look at it.

"I'm not planning to hurt you," she told me, her voice low. "Yet," she added softly.

Before I could run, she reached out and grabbed my arm, sharp claws digging into my flesh.

"I have a story to tell you. But first you must understand that Link is mine. Do you understand, wench?"

I simply nodded, not knowing what else to do. Scream! But I couldn't. I was too scared to scream. She'd kill me.

"When you heard me mumbling, I was communicating with Raul."

"Raul?" I echoed the name absently, trying to prolong my death.

"Good to know you pay attention," she hissed. "Raul is my father. Ganon was his brother, my uncle."

My eyes widened. Shit… Jessica! Run, dammit! Get the hell out of here!

"You may wonder why I'm here. I was sent to make the Hero of Time weak, have him fall in love. Make him a father." She stopped her one-sided conversation to drama to what she was saying. "Link was supposed to fall in love with me, so we could have a child. A child destined to rule the world when my father dies. Our child will be immortal, so…"

"You won't have to worry about any future heroes destroying his kingdom," I finished for her as it all came together.

She laughed with delight. "Very wise, child. But it was unwise of you to step between Link and me. We're meant to be together, and there's nothing you and that little fairy bitch of a fairy can do about it." Jagged nails dug deeper into my skin; I even felt a small drop of blood form at the new wound. "If you know what's best for you, you'll go back to wherever you came from and never interfere with my plans again."

Why was this happening? It had to be a dream…but the pain in my arm was so real…

I finally got enough courage and opened my mouth to scream, but before any sound came out, a new voice spoke:

"Myakka." His voice was smooth and cold. A silver headed arrow was aimed straight for her heart.

Myakka gasped and glared at Link before pulling me in front of her so Link would have to shoot me to get her. "Link, Honey, so nice of you to join us."

Link kept his steady gaze on us, two firm hands holding his bow and arrow steady. A light blue ball hovered nervously at his shoulder. "Let her go, and I will spare you."

I trembled and took a deep breath before biting my bottom lip, waiting for someone to make the next move.

Link's hard azure eyes softened a bit as he glanced at me. Then they shot back to Myakka, regaining a look of hate when she made no move to release me. "Let. Her. Go."

"What is so special about this wench that makes her better than me?" Her voice was dripping with fake hurt as she tried to pout.

"She's not a wench!" Navi squeaked out in protest.

I smiled briefly. "Thanks, Navi."

Myakka tightened her grasp on me. "You're not supposed to talk."

Link quietly crept closer to us, arrow still ready and waiting.

She noticed and stepped back, dragging me with her. "Take another step, and the wench dies."

At this statement, Link seemed utterly torn between what to do.

But before any decisions could be made, Myakka roughly pushed me down, where a rock was conveniently placed to break my head's fall.

I heard a brief flapping of wings and a whizzing of an arrow before everything went black.
