Chapter 18
My first instinct when I woke up was to touch my aching head. To do so proved to be more pain then it was worth, but I felt a sticky liquid where I had been hit. I opened my eyes, but that didn't do any good either. Wherever I was had no light whatsoever. "Link?" I called out softly. I heard a slight moan in response. "Link, is that you? Is Malon here?" I whispered. "Ev? I dunno.where IS here?" He replied. I shrugged, then remembered no one could see. "I think we've been tricked." I could almost see him roll his eyes. "Do you remember the dream I had?" "The one where we died?" "No, the one I had when I was attacked by that redead." "Oh, the one that said Beware of Rauru? Yeah. I just can't figure out why he turned traitor.I mean, he's the Sage of Light for crying out loud!" "Yeah. Hey, wait-where's Malon?" "I'm right here." Came a voice to my right. "Good, everyone's here," Link said. "That's something to be thankful for." We all fell silent. Just then, a burst of light seared into my brain. It took me a few seconds to realize it wasn't a magical attack, just someone bringing a torch. I blinked a few times, and my vision started to return, revealing our cell. It was smaller then I had first thought, about a 20 feet squared prison, with a few loose rocks and a pile of straw in a corner. Malon was sitting a few feet away from my right, and Link sat across from me. The source of light had come from a guard standing outside the bar door, holding an incredibly bright torch. "Good, you're awake." He sneered. I decided I didn't like him. "We are? Wow, we hadn't figured that out! Gee, you're smart!" Malon giggled, and Link smiled. The guard, however, didn't find it amusing. "Shut up, stupid, or you won't get no food!" The guard growled. I rolled my eyes. "Gasp! My stupidity has cost us our food for tonight! Tell me, if ignorance is punished by hunger, how come you and that Rauru guy are both so huge?" This time even Link chuckled. The man turned red. "That's it! You and you're stupid friends can go hungry!" He stalked away. I blew a raspberry at his retreating figure. After he had gone from sight, I turned to my friends. "Sorry guys, I guess I shouldn't have gone that far." Link shook his head. "Don't worry about it. It was probably poisoned or something. And besides, it's good to know that at least you aren't beaten back." Malon nodded. "Yeah, and do you know the slop they usually feed prisoners? I'd rather go hungry." She made gagging sounds to illustrate her point. I grinned. "Yeah, it was worth it to see that guy's face. I didn't know that shade of red even existed." Our laughter seemed out of place in the dungeon, but it felt good to laugh again. * * * What seemed like a few hours later, a different guard came down to look in on us. As I looked at him, I realized this one was no fool-he looked smart, and was almost handsome, not what you'd expect working for someone who was apparently evil. Even so, I treated him with the same contempt as I had the other guard. "Finally, some room service has been provided." I said in a haughty, aristocratic voice. "Be a dear and go fetch us some tea, please. Two lumps of sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice in mine." Malon said, imitating my tones, waving him away. "Well, what are you hanging around for? Hop to it, boy!" Link said, clapping his hands. The guard smiled. "They told me I would find some resistance." He said in a silky voice, with a glint of steel ill concealed in his tones. He took out a small, clear orb, with a red smoke swirling in its center. I didn't like the look of it, but I concealed that with another comment. "Are all servant boys this lazy?" I had hardly finished speaking when a feeling like someone had punched me in the stomach, with spikes on their knuckles. I doubled over, fighting to breathe, not noticing the tears that rolled down my face. Link jumped up, his normally pale face turning red. "What did you do to her? What is that thing?" He demanded. Malon came over to where I still sat doubled over, and tried to do what she could to help me. At this, the guard only smiled more. "Something to.ensure that you come." He said silkily. Allowing Malon to help me stand up, I glared at him. "Coward! You're scared of three, unarmed prisoners-" I tried to ignore the second blow, without success. Link picked up one of the loose rocks and threw it at the guard, but it bounced harmlessly off the bars. The unpleasant man laughed, a sound that made me grit my teeth. "Now, are you coming or not?" He fingered the orb lovingly. I pulled away from Malon, still holding me up, and went face to face to the guard, or at least as much as I could through the bars. A small part of my brain was pleased to note I had about five inches on him in height. "All right. What do you want?" I growled. He met my defiant gaze coolly, but I was positive I saw a hint of fear in his eyes. "I? I want a nice home, maybe a nice wife. My lord Rauru? He wishes to see you." I snorted in contempt. "Lord? All right, we'll play you're little game. We'll come." The guard shook his head. "Not all of you. Just the ringleader." I raised an eyebrow. "Which one would that be?" "Unless there's another pretty little brunette, you." He smiled nastily. Despite my attempts to make him burst into flame using my mind, nothing happened, so I had to settle for more glaring. "Fine. I'll come. But I want to come back to see those two all right." "Of course. You're the only one in any real danger." I stepped back from the door, which he opened. I shot an apologetic glance at Link and Malon before following the guard.
