Yes, yes, yes, I'm back! I got a bit too excited at the end of this fic, but don't kill me, okay? I don't know what I messed up with the last part of the 1st episode and the 1st part of the 2nd episode. I'm trying to find out and hope that this part will look like normal.

Thank you everyone for reviewing!! I'll take time to write back to you as you took time to review my files!

Nightopian: I'm glad you liked it, I'm actually very flattered! I'll make them kiss a little less, they really do kiss too much now that I think of it… (Link: "No! Don't do this to me!") And uh, when I said that 'I wasn't able to save Young Link', I didn't mean something horrible would happen to him, I wasn't able to save him from myself…

MarthLover618: I know, I know, this is a bit… My mom would kill me if she knew I wrote this! Hee hee… But she'll never know!

Sagesumi: I'm glad you like this story too… It's my second fanfic and I thought that no one would review it! Yeeha! But what did you mean when you said about Marth/Roy coupling? At this moment, this is Link/Roy, but you never know what future holds…

Let's keep the truth out there!

---

Roy pulled himself together. He had freaked out because of some stupid horror story. How laughable. He shook his head and held his forehead with his other hand. I've got to wake Link up. And then I want to get out of here. Roy dressed up in his green and red outfit and woke Link up.

"Link! There's something weird going on here."

"Where!?" Link sat up.

"Here!" The elf hugged him tight. He seemed to cheer up for a moment, but then he pulled the boy down with him back on the bed.

"Link!" The general said when the elf seemed to fall asleep again. Link opened his eyes to look at him.

"What?" he said a bit mad that the boy had waked him up.

"There's that weird text on the wall. Look at it!" Roy got up again, just for Link to pull him back.

"Esther can be his, but you're mine." The Hylian said in a drowse as he held the struggling Roy.

"Link! Wake up, now!"

This is always so hopeless to wake him up in the middle of the night! Come on now…

"Link!" he lowered his voice to a whisper. "If you won't wake up, I'll never make love to you again."

"I'm awake." The Hylian whispered back. He put his arms around the Fire Emblem warrior and kissed him. Roy answered passionately, hugging the elf lying on his bed.

"Then, look at that weird text…" The general said after the kiss. He pointed at the wall, but Link ignored what he'd said slowly opening the boy's tunic and turning him under.

"Link…" The general tried once more. It can't be that she is… When the elf ignored him again, Roy decided that the text could wait for morning to come. He felt Link's tongue moving wildly in his mouth. This was so much more important than his fears. This way he could run away from them... Link took the redhead's hands that were holding the bedsheet tight and put them around his waist. Roy squeezed him against himself, he wanted to feel the elf near, to feel safe. Everything else could wait, but not their love. And if someone came in, Roy told himself not to care. He wouldn't do a thing about it. He dedicated himself to Link for that night and let the sweetness of their love surround them with its flame as he let the elf give him pleasure greater than any else.

---

He looks so sweet when he's asleep. Like he was only seven years, not seventeen. So innocent and small, without any knowledge of the evil in this world. I still don't get it why he woke me up so early… Was it just for that…? I remember he told me to look at something, but I don't have any idea what it was. Link wiped the hair off from Roy's face. The general mumbled something through his dream and pressed himself against the Hylian tight. Link closed his eyes to sleep a bit more, although he knew he wouldn't fall asleep again.

---

The morning was beautiful. It had been raining the whole night and the air smelt so fresh. Clouds gave way to the rising sun. It would be another beautiful day at the Smash Building. She woke up feeling better.

It probably stayed outside.

Then she saw the text on the wall.

ESTHER IS MINE

She screamed like somebody tried to kill her.

---

"Whatta!?" Roy sat up as he woke from his dream so suddenly. He looked at the wall.

Oh, god, it wasn't just a dream. The general turned his eyes from the wall to his beloved to see that nothing had happened to him.

Link's ears rocked as he tried to hear more specifically. He kept his eyes closed.

"Someone screamed. Don't worry, Roy."

"N-no, it's not that. I'm fine." He collected himself quickly. He knew he could tell Link about Esther, but he felt embarrassed to be afraid of losing him. Link was the only one he cared for, and he cared for him too much.

"You're pale." Link had opened his eyes. He sat up and saw the text on the wall. "What is that? Is that what you wanted me to see in the middle of the night?" he asked.

Roy remained silent. He looked at the bed and held the blanket tight in his hands.

It's not true. This is just someone fooling around. Someone came to my room and burned that to the wall. That's it.

Link stroke the boy's hair. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, I already told you."

"You don't look like it. Where did that come from?" He pointed at the text, looking surprised.

"I-I don't know." Roy felt how Link wrapped his arms around him and held him tight.

"You know you can talk to me, right?"

"Yeah." How do you always see right through me? He blushed. They were quiet for a long time, Roy looking at the wall and the Hylian holding him in his arms. They didn't use any words to speak, but Link new that his beloved was shocked by the writing on the wall and without words, just by holding him, he comforted the boy. He knew that Roy would get mad if he kept on asking him was he fine and so on. This was the best way, and Roy felt better.

"Are you sure this is some sort of a 'poltergeist?'" Marth sat on her bed. He had woke up to her scream and come downstairs as fast as he could. He held her hand and looked at her gently.

"Don't use its name! I can't talk about it! It will get mad and kill someone!" She said quickly. Pure horror was shining from her eyes.

This girl's really got some serious problems.

"She's a weirdo." Ganondorf whispered to Captain Falcon.

"Tell me something I don't know." The driver answered. Marth glared at him under his eyebrows.

"Why would it get mad and kill someone?" He continued to talk with the girl.

"I can't talk about it!"

"…Oh. So it's very dangerous?"

"I can't answer that! It already warned me once!"

"Hm. I see. Can you tell us your name?" Marth tried to get the girl talk about something else. Maybe later she would open up.

"…It reads on the wall. My name's Esther."

"And how did that appear to the wall?"

"IT did it, can't you believe me already!?" She shouted at Marth, whose face was calm, unreadable.

"Ah. Indeed. It did it. So you didn't do it?"

"No!!"

"Hey, come over here, Marthy." Peach called the prince. Marth stood up, but didn't go to her.

"Don't call me Marthy. I don't like it." He said.

"Well, then, come here, Marth." The princess said calmly. The blue-haired warrior went to her and followed her to the kitchen.

"What is it?" He asked.

"We should get her some professional care. She's completely out of her mind. Every single room's wall is decorated with that Esther-sentence. Let's get her well soon and out of here. She is nothing but trouble."

"I thought that too, but we've got to take care of her wounds."

"True." Peach sighed heavily. It was her turn to make the food that day and she went to the fridge. "I just don't want her to come to my room and burn something to my wall. The repairs are going to cost a lot."

"You're right. I guess we should leave this poltergeist of hers alone. She seems to snap every time we say poltergeist."

"Then we won't talk about it."

---

Roy put on his tunic and pulled the half-sleeping Link out of the bed.

"No, Roy. I don't want to wake up yet…" The elf tried to go back to the bed, but Roy held his wrist tight.

"I want a kiss before I go downstairs." He pulled Link close and kissed him. He got a bit drowsy answer to his kiss, but it was better than nothing.

"You can't be found in my bed." He said to Link, who seemed to sleep on his feet.

"I know, I know... I'll dress up and get downstairs. Okay?"

"Okay." Roy left the Hylian to his room. Link sat down and yawned. He was still drowsy, but the writing got his interest. He stood up as he pulled his tunic on. The elf looked at the burned letters.

Why was Roy so upset about this? And where did this come from? Question after question came to his mind. He touched the letters with his fingers.

Something or someone very angry has done this. The letter's burned furrows were deep, he studied it closely. Link put his hat on before leaving and giving the letters one final look.

He stepped out of Roy's room, just to see that the same text read on the corridor wall.

Why would anyone write about some Esther? The Hero of Time walked towards the stairs when Young Link ran from his room, a bit frightened.

"Linkie!" he shouted as he saw his older version. He ran to Link, his cerulean eyes wide. "Something's happened to my wall! Come look at it quickly!"

"Does your wall read 'Esther is mine?'" Link asked.

"Y-yes!… How did you know?" Young Link had taken his hand, but let go of it, looking surprised.

"It reads here in the corridor wall and in--" Oops, can't tell him. "--In your room."

"Oh." The small elf looked at the text on the corridor wall.

"Why don't we get some breakfast. Peach's probably made something delicious!" Link tried to make the boy forget what he'd seen. No need to worry the small ones, he thought.

"Um… where's Roy?"

"Oh, he's already downstairs." Link looked at himself. Young Link took his hand again and pulled him after himself downstairs. He saw Roy sitting on a chair in the living room, talking to someone.

"Roy! Hi!" He let go of Link to go to the general, who waved to him with a smile on his face. He noticed the writing on the wall and the girl sitting on the couch. "What's going on here?"

"Young Link, this is Esther. Esther, this is Young Link. She came here last night in the storm. She'll be staying with us until her wounds have healed." Roy introduced them to each other, looking at Link leaning to the door.

"I'm Link." The Hylian said to her. Esther was quiet for a long time, before she said:

"Hi." She was feeling uncomfortable, her poltergeist had just damaged this people's house and they were still being so nice to her.

"Link, would you want to train with me today?" Roy asked from his beloved and Link saw that the boy was still upset, but he tried to hide it.

"Yeah, that would be great."

"Can I come too, can I? Can I?" Young Link jumped in front of Roy in his black tunic.

"Yeah, sure." The redheaded general smiled to him kindly.

"Yay!" The boy jumped in joy before he went sitting next to Roy, who was continuing his talk with the pale girl.

"Where do you come from?" He asked her.

"America."

"America?" Roy was surprised. "Where's America? Never heard of it." He had heard of it, but he wouldn't admit it to himself. He'd wanted to forget, leave it behind.

"It's a country far from Ertruria and even farther from Altea", Marth stood next to Link.

"Oh. What kind of a land is it?"

"B-big."

"Oh."

After a long silence, Roy stood up and went to get some breakfast. He went sitting next to Fox, who had almost eaten his breakfast.

"Hi, Fox", the general said.

"Ciao." Answered Fox, his mouth filled with cereals. "Met the girl, Esther?"

"Yeah. She's probably crazy."

"Mm-hm. It's obvious that she went to everyone's rooms and burned that text to the wall. Now she just tries to make us believe that it was some sort of a poltergeist!"

"A poltergeist? Is that what she says?" Roy tried to assure himself that she was a madman, not the girl he'd heard about.

"Yeah, can you believe it? A poltergeist! Like they existed or something!?"

"Mm."

"Care if I join you?" it was Link. Roy dropped his spoon and it splashed to his cereals. He picked it up quickly and hoped that no one saw.

"Can I come here too?" Marth asked. He looked at the general a bit worried, he'd seen the expression of the boy's face, how shocked he was. But he hid it well.

"Yeah. That girl is sick." Link tried to start a conversation, but he looked at Roy all the time to see was he really scared.

"Yeah, she is. Got to be. No one sane would never say that a poltergeist follows them!" Fox said as he finished and left. "See ya around!"

Roy was quiet.

"I don't think it's impossible. If poes and zombies exist, why couldn't poltergeists exist as well?" Link said to no one in particular. The general's eyes widened, but he kept eating.

"You say you actually believe in poltergeists?" Marth asked, with a doubtful tone in his voice.

"Why not? I've heard so many stories about them, that it's hard not to believe."

"Stories are always stories. They change in the flow of time. A poltergeist can actually be someone's mind playing tricks. Yet you still say they exist?" the prince asked with a small smile on his face.

"I'm sure they do."

"NO! POLTERGEISTS DO NOT EXIST!" Roy shouted to the two of them as he stood up, his eyes shining of pain inside him. He was trying to assure himself more than the two swordsmen. He ran out of the dining hall, keeping his tears inside.

Link and Marth were both shocked, everybody looked at them. Link felt guilty that he'd hit a weak point in Roy, he'd spoken of the poltergeists on purpose. He shouldn't have done that. He stood up and took his and Roy's plates.

"I'm sorry. I'll go talk to him." He said when he left. Marth looked after him and sighed. At least he'd tried to protect Roy.
