Chapter Three- Family Torn Apart
There's a gun with ammunition
Just outside the doorway
Use it only in emergency
Better you should pray to God
The Father and the Spirit
Will guide you
And protect you from up here
"Looking forward to Termina Link?" Lyle asked, leaning back against a barrel on the deck.
"Sure am, I've never left Hyrule before." He answered excitedly.
"Makes two of us, I'm quite looking forward to it myself."
Link stretched out yawning loudly, he obviously hadn't gotten much sleep from the previous night. And with that Link leaned up against his father closing his eyes and drifting off into a deep sleep as the sun disappeared over the ocean.
Lyle found himself drifting off to sleep as well, until a strong pair of hands grasped his throat.
"Arrrghhhhhh!!" He screamed, Link jumped up immediately.
"Dad!!" He screeched, his eyes widening in horror when he saw the pair of hands around his neck.
Lyle managed, to free himself, by throwing the man over his shoulder. The moonlight clearly showing the man's face.
Lyle gasped. "Oh Din, you're one of Lance's Knights."
Lyle spun around to find the man himself.
"Do you really think we could just let you leave and get away with your punishment?" Lance hissed.
Behind Lance stood a dozen of shadows, obviously not on Lyle's side.
No doubt the ex-soldier was a strong warrior himself, but there was no chance we could be able to defeat them alone.
"Kill him!" Lance demanded, with the shadows heading towards Lyle and Link.
"I want Lyle dead, but I want the boy back here with me, do I make myself clear?!"
Lyle acted quickly swooping Link up into his arms and running as far away as he could.
"I knew it! That man just won't quit until he has his way!" Lyle gasped.
"Dad, the lifeboat." Link pointed out.
Lyle rushed over to the small rowboat and start untying the ropes holding the boat to the ship.
"Link, I need you to help me reel this boat down towards the ocean, got it?" Lyle ordered
"Got it." Link replied, grasping one of the ropes obeying his father's orders.
"They went down there!" Lyle heard a voice on the ship.
"Faster, Link, Faster." He panicked reeling the rowboat as quickly as possible.
The mob on the ship whipped out their shining blades cutting the rope holding the small rowboat onto the ship.
The rowboat crashed into the ocean, however, the chases wasn't over yet. Many of the men leaped down onto the rowboat.
One of the men grabbed Link clutching the youngster into his strong arms, while all the other men held Lyle down.
Lyle struggled to free himself, but it was no use.
"Dad!" Link squealed, tears streaming down his face.
"Shhhh..." The man holding him whispered, "I'm sorry about your father, even though he is my best friend, I can't save him."
"Who are you?" Link sniffed.
"My name's Cole, I'm your father's best friend, Lance has ordered me to take you prisoner, however I feel as if I have betrayed him, I'm going to save you instead. I know it's what your father would have wanted." Cole then wrapped Link up jacket, hiding him into the darkness from Lance.
"Cole!!" Lance growled "Where is the boy?"
Cole looked out towards the ocean putting on an act.
"I can't see the youngster anywhere sir, he must had fallen overboard." Cole fibbed.
Many of the other knights climbed back onto the ship, taking Lyle's body with them. Lance just glared back at Cole.
"For your sake, you better hope the boy's dead." He grunted before following his knights.
Cole sighed, "I'm so sorry Lyle." he whispered into the night air, as a thunderstorm came over.
"You didn't even try to save my Dad...." Link clenched his fist and closed his eyes tightly....
Rained then poured down from the heavens.
"Link...I..."
"YOU DIDN'T EVEN TRY!!" Link screeched furiously at Cole, before attacking him.
Even though Lyle was such a big man, Link was such a small boy, and didn't have the harm on Cole, but he still kept punching, continuously, he couldn't stop, his father was dead, and his father's best friend knew that it was going to happen, and didn't try anything to stop it.
He kept punching, Cole just stood there, he believed he deserved the punishment, even though it didn't hurt a bit. Link kept punching until, he broke out into further tears.
Cole bent out and embraced the crying child, however Link broke himself free.
"Don't touch me!" He trembled, he didn't want to hang around this so-called 'friend' of his father's so he did the only possible escape.
Link didn't take his eyes of Cole, he watched his every movement. Link took two steps back before turning around and diving into the ocean.
"Link!!!" Cole cried out, looking over the edge of the small rowboat. "Link! You'll be killed!!"
The storm continued, Cole continued staring at the night thundering sky.
"There goes Hyrule's last hope."
