Chapter 4 - Pecked
"Ow! Stop that!"
"How can you complain? You're the one that brought this upon yourself."
"What's that supposed to mean?! I didn't know you were gonna punch me for tickling you!"
Saria shook her head and dabbed Link's swollen cheek with a cloth. He squirmed uncomfortably in his chair, stretching his face out of her reach. "Oh just stay still!" she said, annoyance eminent in her voice. Link stretched back, as ordered.
"You can't treat me like this!"
Saria raised an eyebrow. "And why not?"
"Well...," he searched for something to counter with. "I'm taller than you!"
Rolling her eyes, Saria put the wet cloth away and brought a dry one out. She placed it on the swollen spot and taped in over. "There. All finished. Now that was so horrible."
"Yes, it was..." Link jumped out of the chair and limped to the door.
Saria walked up to him and swept his leg from under him. "It's your face that hurts, Sherlock, not your leg."
Link huffed. "Whatever! My leg hurts now after you swept it from under me!"
"Well then. There's a lesson to be learned from this then."
"What's that?"
Saria glared daggers at him. "Don't tickle me."
Link's lower lip formed a slight pout, and he muttered, "Fine. I'll be in my house if you need me..." He limped honestly back to his tree and climbed slowly up the ladder, making time for his injuries.
"Darn. She's so stubborn!" mumbled Link, rubbing both his leg and his cheek. "My gosh."
He got up again, slowly so as not to hurt himself again, and went over to the sink to look at his leg. But behind him he heard a low scraping sound, like that of someone who's scratching the table when they're nervous. It paused every once in awhile and whatever was making the noise cooed softly in the interval. It wasn't a very pleasant coo, it was more like a rabid, rasping, wolfos. Link decided not to move, for as long as he could anyway, and not breathe.
It made him nervous to think about what was behind him. One thing was for sure: it wasn't human.
Link decided to whirl around, from anticipation, and attack whatever was there. "Get out of my house!" he yelled. "Run you..." Link studied the animal; it was Saria's cucco. He let out a low sigh of relieve. Now he just had to get past it to find Saria. "All right you, just let me pass."
Before Link could react, the cucco pecked at his arm. Link didn't like wasting time, so he jumped over it and down the ladder. He ran to Saria's house to tell her that her cucco had escaped, but the cucco had started to run after him. Link tried leaped over the bushes that were in his path, and he ran up the ramp on Saria's house, attempting to jump off after the cucco was there.
"Try and catch me now!" howlered Link, jumping off of Saria's house. "Betcha can't beat that, you...oh crud!"
The cucco jumped down from the house, and was descending fast on Link. It perched itself on Link's head, and started violently pecking at him. Since Link was pretty fast, he quickly grabbed the cucco and tried to run into Saria's house.
Link scrambled to the door. "SARIA! Your cucco's after me! Help!"
"What are you talking...Link! Behind you!" she yelled, pointed to the cucco. It had snuck up from behind again.
"BAAAAWWWWWKKKKK!" The cucco hobbled after Link faster than his horse could. It jumped up again, and pecked at his head, which made Link run out the door, to the forest. He looked behind him, and saw Saria staring in horror at the evil cucco.
" GET AWAY STUPID BIRD," yelled Link, more so in pain than anger. Tears streaming down his face, he sprinted towards the Forest Temple as fast as he could. Right then, Link would have rather faced Ganondorf again then go through this. And Link has never wanted to feel sharp blades slicing his skin again. But that sounds like a walk in the park compared to the ripping, and tearing, and aching of his flesh that this bird was taking him through.
" Must...get...away," said Link, through gritted teeth. " Why...Malon...bring..."
Link ran as fast as he could, but he could only last so long. The cucco was tearing him apart, his skin was torn, his clothes were ripped. His stamina was decreasing too. He couldn't go on much longer. As he neared the temple though, his feet became separated from the ground, and he had fallen into a secret grotto.
" At least I'm away from the cucco for now," Link thought to himself, still falling. He was right, but his wounds from the fowls talons had drove into him. Link couldn't take much more, for he also had a large gash on his face. His blood ran down to his mouth, and he blacked out.
" What...," said Link, when he finally woke up. He was in a sort of tunnel, that looked as though it had been man made. There were dim lights that were strung along the corridor, and some mats for which to sleep on.
" You should get back to sleep. I'll wake you up soon," said an unfamiliar voice. It was the voice of a man for sure, but Link couldn't place who it could be, so he fell back asleep. There was a soft pidder padder coming from the ceiling, that seemed to move in a certain rythm. Link let the rythm drift him into another deep slumber.
There were pieces of stone floating around Link, they each had some sort of symbol upon them. There were bright lights all around him, while the stones shattered, leaving humongus shadows. The shadows charged at him, one by one, nearly trampling him. Each shadow had a distinct form of some kind. One with four legs, one with a large tail, one which looked human but bigger, and one with two heads. They each seemed very familiar indeed, but so distant, and so different. Each creation was just a gigantic shadow, casting down everything in it's path. In the middle of them all, stood a smaller figure with it's hands raised upward. The middle figure seemed human, and also seemed to be controlling the beasts. There was then a bright flash, and Link woke up.
