CHAPTER 11- The Attack and the Kidnapping

"One of you, get on that horse!" Sarah shouted as the creatures swamped them.

Robbie was the closest to it. "I will, Jacque, where are you?" He called.

"Here!" Jacque screamed as she just barely blocked an attack from her left. "This is not good!"

"I know!" Sarah glanced in every direction looking for any of the others. None could be found. "Robbie! Take the horse and try to get to the others. It's our only hope. We need help."

"But I won't leave you guys here alone!" He stalled.

"Just do it or we're all dead!" Sarah shouted. Taking one last look at Jacque he galloped off on their only escape route.

"Are we there yet?" Glen asked impatiently.

"Almost!" Jason snapped. This guy was seriously stretching his last nerve.

Jessica tapped Jason on the shoulder from behind, "Just calm down." Jason laughed a little at this. The two horses they had were each carrying a cart loaded with bombs the Gorons had given them. Suddenly they saw a horse galloping toward them.

"It looks like Robbie." Zack said.

"I wonder why he's racing toward us... and alone." Jason said in a concerned voice.

Robbie finally pulled up to them and gasped, "It's Jacque... and-and Sarah. The Temple is under attack. They were just scouts but there were too many of them"

"And you left them?!" Jason yelled.

"I'm sorry but Sarah made me. It was their only hope." Robbie hung his head.

"Leave it to Sarah to think she could take them alone." Jessica muttered.

Jason turned sharply around in the saddle to look at her. "Do you think they're alright?" he asked.

"I don't know. But I do know they won't be if we don't hurry." With that the five of them on the three horses raced back to the Temple.

*

When they got there, all was in ruins. The packs that Malon gave them were scattered everywhere. The door to the Temple seemed to still be sealed but everything else was a mess. You could see the signs of a struggle, many dead corpses were scattered here and there. After a moment the dead bodies vanished.

"That means that it wasn't long before we got here that they were taken." Jessica explained.

The five of them explored the campsite. Suddenly, Zack yelled, "Hey! Over here you guys!" Everyone ran over to where he was. Something was sticking out of the tree. "It's someone's sword."

"That's Sarah's sword." Jason said.

Robbie looked around. There, on the ground, another sword. "And that's Jacque's."

"I don't see them anywhere. They must've been taken prisoner." Zack pointed out.

Jason pulled the sword from the tree. Robbie picked up the other one. "Then we'll have to go after them." Robbie said seriously. Everyone nodded in agreement. They both added the swords to their belts.

They heard a noise from behind and Epona came into the clearing carrying Link and Shannon closely followed by Jeff on his horse. They too had a cart but it was loaded with arrows. Shannon had a quiver and bow strapped to her back. Jeff dismounted and walked over to Glen. He handed him a bow and a quiver, "Here, take this." Glen took the weapon Link dismounted and helped Shannon off Epona.

"Where were you guys?" Jason asked in a stern voice.

Shannon looked around, "Where's Sarah and Jacque?" she asked.

Robbie stared at the ground. Everyone else just stood there. Jeff walked up to Robbie, becoming more worried by the second. "Where is my sister?" he asked sharply.

"I wish I could say." Robbie mumbled.

Jeff looked down and noticed Jacque's sword in his belt. Jason indicated the extra sword he carried. "So, they're gone?" Jeff asked in a choked voice.

Jessica walked over to him. "We have reason to believe that they've just been taken hostage."

"well I know they're not dead, I'm sure I would have felt something if anything happened to my sister." Jeff said slowly.

Link took a deep breath. "Okay, we'll send a rescue party after them The rest must stay and guard the Temple because it will be attacked while we're away."

"I have a feeling that Robbie will want to go." Jeff stated. "Then of course I'm going. Link? Jason?" Link and Jason both nodded. "Then the four of us will go. The rest stay here and guard the Temple." Jeff turned to Jessica, "You're in charge. We're leaving two horses behind for you. We'll be back soon." With that, Link, Jeff, Robbie and Jason rode off into the forest.
