Hyrule/ Snowhead forest
"Where am I?" Kim staggered up, her pale gray eyes trying to adjust to the eerie darkness. Her arm was throbbing with pain, and she felt a warm trickle of blood fall down her arm. She frowned. Where was Link? She had never been this far into the forest before, the trees were twisted and looked angrily down at her. She got her eyes to adjust to the gloom, and walked to a mossy tree stump and sat, looking around her. There was a sudden rustle. She jumped up, and stared wildly around her. A dark figure loomed in the darkness behind her, walking with an arm outstretched. "Who..whos there?" Kim peered at the figure, fear creeping through her body. The man, still silent, reached her and placed a hand on her shoulder. She squirmed and tried to pull away, but he took her hand and led her to the blazing torch in an opening in the forest. His pale grey stallion was tethered nearby. "You look hurt..let me see your arm." He gently supported her trembling limb whilst applying some kind of white paste. "Who are you?" she winced- the wound was stinging horribly, and her eyes pricked with tears. "That's not important now. Whats important is that you get some rest. Come with me." He helped her up and led her towards his horse, who was foraging for grass underneath the thin frost that covered the ground. Her bare feet were numb as she climbed up onto the saddle. She slid them into the stirrups and rested her hand on the horse's neck. The young man checked to see if she was ok, then led the horse towards the castle on the mountain.
Hyrule Manor, LINK'S ROOM
"M.ma.." Link squinted at the engraving on the spearhead. He turned it over, shifting on his bed. His sword, bow, shield and boomerang lay on the floor, as well as a sliver of arrows and some deku nuts and sticks. He looked again, trying harder this time. "Ma..is that an r? Mar.." he ran his finger over the chipped head. There was nothing else engraved, unless there were other letters that had been worn through. He frowned. Maybe there would be people in the villages who knew what was going on, and who the 'killer' was. He got to his feet and yanked his boots on, then he put the deku nuts inside his boots buckles. He strapped his hilt and sword to his waist and tucked the boomerang and bow into the straps. He held the sticks and arrows, then threw the shield over his back. He flung open the door and ran quickly down the two flights of stairs, and was about to run out when his mother strode from the study, looking furious. He panicked, and opened the large oak double doors. "LINK? Where are you going, young man?" she half ran after him, walking into the large front yard and striding towards the iron gate. But by the time she'd gotten there, Link was gone. "COME BACK HERE THIS INSTANT!!" He ignored her, and as he jumped over the low stone wall, he took out his ocarina and called Epona. The thunder of her hooves came and she had barely stopped when Link had vaulted onto her back. He quickly strapped everything in, and took hold of her harness. He silently thanked Maiko, who must have seen this coming. Digging his heels into the horse's sides, he galloped towards the swamp.
Snowhead Temple "Ugh." Kim rolled over in the warm bed she was lying in. She looked around and sat up, propping her arm on a pillow. Her dark blond hair was messed around her face, and her head felt like wool. "Good morning, sleepyhead!" She looked blearily up at the voice and her focus became sharper at the sight of her rescuer. He sat near her, and pushed her hair behind her elfin ears. "How are you feeling?" "Where am I?" She closed her eyes and lay back on the pillows. He looked into her gray eyes and frowned. "Get some more rest, ok?" He looked troubled. "Just ring this bell if your hungry or anything." She nodded, and turned over in the bed. He sighed, and glided out the room silently. The door closed gently, and she smiled. Whoever this guy was, he sure was cute! She pulled up the covers with her good hand and her arm brushed her neck, and a small silver chain suddenly slid down onto the covers next to her. Links pendant! She stared at the small sword shaped charm, and it looked dull and grayish blue. Its dull because I have nothing to love she thought, and tears rolled down her face, and she could taste the bitter salt. She missed Link, she could hear his voice, feel his hand on her cheek. She remembered everything they had done as children, the apple trees they had climbed, the Clock Town carnivals they had attended, the first time they went to Lon Lon ranch and Maiko had given Epona to Link.She smiled and opened her eyes, half expecting to see Link looking down at her, his gold hair brushing her face, his blue eyes sparkling. Instead, she saw a white wall and a fire crackling warmly in the center. She began to wonder where she was, though she felt strangely at ease with this man, although she wondered why he avoided mentioning his name. She unfolded herself from her covers and padded towards a large heavily curtained window, where she gazed out at the snow covered lands and the white capped trees. She shivered, and went back to her bed, curling up under the duvet, her mind satisfied with the images of Link.
