Malon screamed as her sapphire eyes widdened at the horrific sight. The thing in front of her was screaming too and pulled out a stick. It then slapped Malon on the head and she collapsed to the ground.

"The zombie! Where is it?!" Malon gasped as she woke inside a cozy little shack. "Where am I?" She looked around but all she saw was a little boy with a tuft of red hair.
"I am so sorry. I was pretending to be the grave keeper, Dampe. I think my mask might have frightened you." The boy held up a wooden mask that represented a zombie's face.
"Oh. Eh, why were you pretending to be a grave keeper?" Malon asked with a puzzeled look on her face.
"There aren't many other kids around here, well there is this fairy boy but he doesn't seem to like my game. So I always play alone." The boy sat on the side of the bed Malon was laying on and stared at his feet.
"That fairy boy!?! I know who he is. I bet he'd be knight some day. I wish a knight would come one day and marry me. Save me from Lon Lon Ranch! But I don't think my father would want me to leave." Malon sat next to the boy.
"That fairy boy sold me this mask. I thought it was perfect for playing Dampe. I even payed him full price for it." The boy held it up to admire it some more. Malon shrugged and looked around.
"You never answered my question, where am I?"
"In Dampe's house."
"Oh."
The two children sat not saying a word. Apparently they didn't have much in common. The silence was broken when the fairy boy stormed into the house.
"Fairy boy!" Malon stared with admiration in her glowing blue eyes. The young blonde boy in a light green tunic looked very concerned.
"Malon, your father sent me to save you. It is the middle of the night. And you, "Dampe Junior", or whatever your name is, err, your mom wants you home." The fairy boy grabbed Malon's hand and ran out of the shack.
"Bye, Malon!" the little boy called. Malon could only wave good-bye because her arm was being pulled half way out of it's socket by the fairy boy.
As they ran through the small village, Link started to think over their journey.
"It takes about a day to get across the whole length of Hyrule Field, so since Lon Lon Ranch is about half way through the field, we should be there by morning." Malon tried to keep up with the running fairy. As they ran to the bottom of the stairs, they stumbled across Epona, chewing on some grass. "You brought Epona? Well you'll be home tonight!" Link stoked the roan horse and smiled at Malon, thinking she wanted to be home.
While they were ridding throught the field, the sun started to rise.
"Guess when you rescued me it was later then you thought, it is nearly sunrise." Malon giggled as the galloping foal made it's way throught the field.
"Oh no, this means those killer flowers are going to be up." Link looked from side to side just as a a loud buzzing sound was heard overhead. "We're on at Kokiri Forest, this means we are going to has a little detour." Link steered Epona towards the entrance to Kokiri Forest, but she halted and wouldn't go any farther. "We'll just have to leave her here Malon, come on those plants are getting closer." Link hurried Malon into the wooden tube and into Kokiri Village.
The village smelled of fresh grass and small glowing orbes illuminated the foggy shire. "Wow fairy boy, this is beautiful. What is your name anyway?" Malon took a deep breath and gazed at the awesome sight.
"My name is Link. I'm a little tired, and well my house is right here so I am gonna go to bed." Link scratched the back of his neck. "I guess you could come and stay at my house, you've had a busy night too." Link smiled and climbed up his rope ladder to his tree house. Malon smiled and thought about what a nice day she had had. First she was rescued by someone she didn't have much intrest in, and now she was rescued by a knight.
