Author's note: I'm going to use a new theory that just came to my
attention. According to the theory, Link and Zelda are brother and sister
and they don't find out until seven years after Link returns from Termina.
So, up until they find out, Zelda is in love with Link.
CHAPTER THREE Shattering Time
"What have I done?" Jacob scolded himself.
"It's not your fault, don't beat yourself up over it." Derek comforted Jacob.
"I should have never given it to her." Jacob had fallen to his knees in sorrow and confessed the dream and journal to Derek just moments after the disappearance of Sarah.
"Why didn't you tell us this? We could have all tried to travel in time." Derek joked towards Jacob trying to lighten the mood. "Well, we now have to find a way to save her."
"How are we gonna do it?" Jacob asked.
"What happened?" a girl asked as the surprise of the crowd that was around Sarah died and was replaced by curiosity. "Jacob, what happened?"
Jacob did not know what to say to the girl, he was just as shocked as she was. They crowded around Jacob and Derek, bursting out questions and demanding they tell them where she went.
Just as they were closing in, A whirling vertex of energy burst down from nowhere and created a circle, in the column of light, Sarah was floating, Jacob burst through the crowd and ran to the column, he wanted to jump through and grab Sarah, but as he collided into the energy, it threw him back as if it were a brick wall.
"What the hell?!" he said. He jumped back to his feet and looked at it, the teacher burst through the door.
"Jacob Swan." the teacher stopped, staring blankly at the column of light. "What the hell?"
The column of light faded and Sarah's body floated down to the ground, her green and black hair was matted with sweat, sweat dripped from her brow. She was unconscious.
Jacob ran forward to her, he cradled her in his arms and held her close, he whispered in her ears. "Sarah, please. please wake up."
Her eyes slowly peeled open and she looked up to Jacob, who cradled her in his arms. She was groggy and she mumbled something, She looked at him with her emerald eyes and smiled slightly. She clutched the ocarina closely to her chest.
"Hey, handsome." she spoke tiredly to Jacob.
"Morning, beautiful." He replied. Derek walked up to them and knelt down next to them. One of the girls that crowded around yelled.
"Sarah, what happened?"
Sarah pushed off Jacob's lap and looked over to the girl. "I don't know. All I remember is floating through a blackness for a split second, then returning right back here."
"Come on," Jacob whispered to Sarah and Derek. "Let's get out of here."
"Not so fast." Called the teacher. "We're gonna figure out what really happened. So if you all would follow me. and all the others. keep this quiet until I return."
The three sighed, wondering what was going to happen to them. Would they be blamed fro pulling some kind of prank? Oh yeah, like the principle was going to believe them. A magical instrument, yeah, right.
* * *
"I can't believe that shit!" Sarah yelled as they got in Jacob's car.
"I know, they don't believe us, I knew they wouldn't." Derek said.
Jacob said nothing as he cranked up the car and drove out of the parking lot. Sarah looked at him and leaned closer.
"I'm sorry for scaring you like that." She whispered.
"It's okay. I knew you could handle yourself." Jacob lied. Deep down, he was scared, he did not want anything to happen to her. He cared about her, in some way, he could not explain it, but it was there. Maybe he was in love with her. He did not know yet. But he could not think about it right now.
"Yeah, you're a tough girl." Derek said. Sarah leaned back in the seat, allowing Jacob access to the gearshift and change gears.
"We need to take that stuff back." Jacob said finally.
"You're right." Derek agreed.
"We need to stop by your house to get that sword." Sarah said from her laid back position. Jacob subconsciously reached to his pocket to reassure himself that the book was still there.
"Yeah."
* * *
Jacob whipped the vehicle into his driveway and turned off the ignition. As he got out, he told the others: "Stay here, I won't be long." Derek nodded his agreement and Sarah, well, she was asleep so she really did not respond.
Jacob walked in and ran up the stairs. He opened his room and went to his dresser. There it sat, the blue-steel sword hilt, next to his kendo medal. He grabbed the sword and ran out and down the stairs.
"And where exactly do you think you're going?" Jacob's mother called to him from behind.
Jacob stopped and turned around, sliding the hilt in his pocket. "I was going out with the guys before kendo tonight."
"I don't think so. I got a call from the school today, they said you played a prank on the class."
"Mom, it wasn't ."
"I don't want to discuss it. They assigned you and your friends two days in In-School-Suspension. But, I'm grounding you."
"But!"
"Nothing. You go to your room, I don't want to see you until time for kendo tonight."
Jacob turned and went up the stairs. He heard his mother call to his retreating back: "I thought I raised you better."
Jacob got in his room, and immediately looked to his window. He ran to it and silently lifted the lock and eased out. He was on the roof. He looked around and found the column that held the covering over the porch. He eased onto it and dropped down, he landed with a dull thud and immediately jumped up and went to his car. As he got in, Derek and Sarah looked at him with quizzical looks.
"She knew."
Derek and Sarah both understood what he meant. Jacob put the car in neutral and let it roll out of the driveway and as soon as the car hit the street, he turned the ignition and instantly put it into gear and went off as quietly and speedily as he could.
* * *
"What?" Derek exclaimed.
"Where's the shop, Jacob?" Sarah said, holding the ocarina in her hand. The spot was completely empty. Jacob, Sarah and Derek was standing in front of the store they had just been to the night before, but it looked like it has not been used in years. Cobwebs and burn marks, reminders of a hard past were there that did not exist at all the previous night.
"Maybe we're at the wrong spot." Derek proposed.
"No, this is the right place, look at the address." Sarah said. Jacob was walking back and forth, the hilt still in his pocket along with the book.
An elderly lady was walking by at that time and Jacob immediately stopped her.
"Excuse me, ma'am, but we're looking for the sword shop that was here last night, do you know what happened to it?"
The woman stopped and looked at Jacob, "I'm sorry, son, but that place has been empty for years, I don't know any one who would want to be in there." The woman nodded and walked away.
"That's impossible." Sarah said to herself, "We were just there last night."
"Come on, we need to find something out. And fast, so mom doesn't know I was gone." Jacob said.
"Yeah," Sarah, Derek and Jacob began walking back to the car when it happened. Sarah tripped; the ocarina went spiraling out of her hands.
Derek and Jacob both reacted, they both reached to grasp her. As they caught her, the ocarina hit the ground, shattering. In a flash of brilliant white and blue light, the three found themselves tumbling through the darkness.
Sarah opened her eyes to find a regal white horse galloping at him at breakneck speeds.
