Chap. 5 and then there was eight

They stayed the night in the forest about two miles away from the water fall. The next morning they traveled for about four hours before finally getting out of the forest, and on to a rocky hill. The hill was steep and very high, and by the time they were half way to the base of the mountain all of them had at lest one scrape on them. This worse for Link and young because they were bleeding, so Katie picked up young and flew with him, and Leah used her psychic abilities to levitate old who was freaking out in the process. When they got to the top they found a long flat surface, it was wide and very worn down, and straight ahead of them they saw the opening that lead into the mouth of a cave which had strange red light coming out of it. The whole group stalled, they knew that something was wrong, they knew something was not right. The group walked slowly across the flat ledge, Danielle twitched her ears then stopped, "guys don't move," said Danielle sternly.

"why?" said Link concerned.

"well let me put it this way, we have a guest." Danielle said this very softly but every one heard her, and each one stopped and listened for what was coming.

Not to long after they stopped a huge thundering rumble shook the rocks and cracked the ledge, but no one knew where it came from. Katie looked up at the mouth of cave and saw girl, about 11-14, with long blond hair that was put into a high pony tail standing and starring at her with squinted red eyes depicting that she was in fact pure evil. She wore a white Kimono that had a very visible 'K' on the front right side. Before Katie could turn to say something to the group about this girl she was gone, but they had a bigger problem to deal with because coming out of the mouth of the cave was a huge rock golem that roared ferosiosly throwing its head back in its fury. The whole group wanted to run but instead perpared for batle for they knew what their mission was, and the importance of why they must suceed. The monster did not stall, it charged with all its might to the closest person which was Oscer. The monster took a huge swipe but missed because Leah pushed him out of the way, "thanks Leah I owe you one!" he said as he drew his sword from its blue and silver sheath. Leah saw the ground where the monster hit instead of Oscer, and saw that it was melting!

"hey guys don't touch his claws! They won't just leave a scare!" said Leah loudly. Everyone saw this and took it to there advantage.

"hey Leah thanks for that info. I wont get killed this time." Said Oscer smiling at her.

"your very welcome now pay attention, you don't want to get hurt. I could not stand to see you get hurt." Leah didn't even look at him but she was blushing as she stared at the cold and ruthless monster. Link drew out his sword---the same blade used to seal Ganons fate---and held it out in front of him ready to fight, Latrice ran over to Link with wide eyes,

"wait you can't fight him," she said with a truly visible amount of fear in her eyes.

"well I don't think we can ask it to not rip our heads off, so I have to." Said Link starring straight at the monster, Latrice sighed and walked away to get Princess and her trident.

The monster was being contained by Eli as he used his sword, and Leah as she used her physic powers to hold the monster still, "uh I.cant...hold..it.much..llloonnggeerrrr!" said Leah as she strained to keep it under control.

It broke out of the hold swiping Leah and Eli out of the way and putting all of his attention on Link. He charged for the blond hero, with menacing eyes, and snarls baring rusty old and sand like teeth that were in fact extremely sharp. The creature lifted his huge claw like hands and swiped at Link hitting him dead on. He flew back screaming, hit the wall, and fell face down on the ground. His head was bleeding immensely, and his side had a huge venom filled slash where the monster had hit him. Link looked to be more then just unconscious as he lay there motionless and bleeding.

"oh my god Link!," screamed Leah, she tried running toward him but was stopped by the huge rock demon. "damn! Uh! I will have to get him later," she turned to the rest of the group who was trying to get to Link, "hey guys listen lets get rid of this monster first and then we can take care of Link ok?" she screamed. The group nodded reluctantly and put their attention on the creature, the huge demon seemed to have a never ending supply of anger and psychotic madness. While the group was engaged in battle Katie again noticed something quite supriseing. Link was being dragged off by a person who was wearing a brown cloak that had a huge hood that covered the face. Katie was about to say something but was stopped by the golem,

"uh stop being such a pest!" screamed Katie before she used a very strong magic blast of energy. The monster froze and in seconds turned into a pile of sand.

"what! That's it?" complained Danielle, "she beat it with one energy blast! That's not fair." Danielle pouted and walked off. Katie flew toward Leah and stopped just inches from slamming right into her,

"Leah! Leah! It's..," she stalled.

"yes Katie what is it?" said Leah softly.

"its Link!" she screamed.

"what about him, we will take care of him don't worry." Said Leah with a reassuring smile.

"no! he is gone some one has taken him away!" she said now totally freaking out.

"what! Link is gone!" Leah looked to where Link was knocked out and saw nothing but the blood he left behind.

Chap. 6 fire mountain

The group searched for Link but didn't find him anywhere, so they decided to look for him after they freed R.S. from her tomb. The group now had eight members, all of which were kind of depressed because of the events that just took place. The cave was lit by a red light that seamed to come from the end of it, and the deeper they got into the cave the hotter it was. The walls around them stared to shake and let off steam, which made it fell like a sauna. "oh.it so hot in here," said Katie before she fell to the ground on her knees.

"oh my gosh! Katie, are you ok?" said y-Link as he helped her up.

"ya.ya I'm ok really." She said with a weak tired smile.

The group finally came to the source of the red light, and it wasn't very nice sight. They were led into a huge cavern that had a HUGE hole in it that was filled with burning lava, and there was a small wooden bridge that went across it that looked as if it could break if a tiny flake of dust fell on it. The group was hasty on weather or not they should cross, but Katie just flew up and zipped to the other side, "come on guys (pant, pant), stop wasting time!"

"oh yes why don't we all use are wings to cross, how stupid of us!" said Danielle in a harshly sarcastic tone that made Katie give her a very rude glance before she fell on her knees again.

"oh come now, children! Stop fighting." Said Eli frustrated. The group walked slowly along the bridge one person at a time. First was Danielle (who was the bravest one to go first), then Eli, Leah, Latrice, princess, Oscer, and finally y-Link who couldn't help but stare down at the bubbling liquid rock, he gulped and looked princess's tail fin (which was shaped like a dolphin's tail fin). Almost every one was across, all that was left was the slaking y-Link who now had his foot caught in a broken plank,

"uh guys.I like kinda just maybe need a little." before he could finish a loud rumble started. The boiling magma started to rise, slowly but no matter the speed it was closing in on the little 9 year old elf which at this time was (if you could imagine this) seriously panicking (I mean totally freaking out!). " GUUUUUYS, HEELLLLLLP MEEEEEE!" screamed y-Link while tugging on his leg, which was even more lodged in the wood then ever, and now bleeding. Danielle tried to find a way to get to him with out losing her life in the process, because she had already tried to cross the bridge but the heat weakened the planks and would break under any more weight then (at the most) 80 pounds. Katie was weak and was trying to wake up but she didn't know if she had the strength to carry any thing (or even fly for that matter). She tried her best to snap out of her weak tired like state, and gather just enough strength to get him to safety. She shook her head, stood up, took a deep breath, then flew up in the air about six feet from the ground, and zipped toward y-Link with more speed then she intended.

"hey young (pant, pant) grab.on," said Katie barely able to stay conscious, "young just....just grab my arm I can get you out." Y-Link followed every command, he grabbed tightly on to her arm and she held on as well. She pulled back with so much force her wings stared turning an orange like yellow, with one final kick by y-Link he was free, bleeding, but free. Katie strained to hold him because the power she used to free him was mostly the little bit she had left. Katie tried to steady her self and tried her hardest not to fall into the lava that had already consumed the lowest dip in the bridge. She could hear the others calling her, telling her to come to the ledge, so she started for it. Her speed was slow (a little faster then the rise of the lava) but she managed to get over the ledge before dropping young (who landed on his feet), and falling to the ground herself (in which she crash landed skidding stomach down). She tried getting up but fell again and after four tries she just gave up, "ok someone please do me a favor and carry me or something I don't like the taste of rock," said Katie with her face pressed against the ground.

"oh but Katie I like this new look, it makes it seem like you really love nature," said Leah smiling an innocent smile.

"COME ON LEAH GIVE ME A BREAK!" said Katie with a muffled voice (because her face was still on the ground).

Eli picked up Katie and placed her on princess and the group walked out of the lava filled gorge with a few cuts and bruises. As the group walked away laughing, the heat of the mountain and the suspense of the danger seems to have left for the moment, but their laughter was only temporary for what lied ahead surly wiped the smiles off their faces.

What dose that mean? I can't tell you so you will just have to find out next time on a castle far away (chap. 7, and 8)
