Chapter three: Mists of Danger
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Suddenly a bang sounded from up the stairs. Everyone in the kitchen jumped from the noise, but then froze. No one could process thought, no one could move. Time itself was frozen. But upstairs...

In the room of Zelda's and Nikkih's, a peice of the delicate lace-like sheild barrier had been torn. It had created a portal that allowed darkness to pass through to Earth. The mist-like smokey darkness started swirling into the room. But also in the room was Cheratrous, beckining off the darkness. "You should not be here!" She said, in a strong voice, and poising into battle position, a staff in her hand steady. The darkness seemed to cackle. Cheratrous took a breath. "Lisstiliac bontaron, quiwqi popitri!" She chanted, her staff glowed at the sound. "Snaa litnaa!" The staff glowed brightly, and then gave off streams and rays of bursting light towards the darkness, cursing it back to where it once came.

Cheratrous slipped to her knees, breathing heavily. The darkness was gone, but what really bothered her was how the snare had become, and what would have happened if the teens had been there. But they weren't, they were downstairs trapped in time. Cheratrous smiled, that was her doing. Knowing these humans, at first sign of danger they would charge at it. Adrenaline, fight or flight, humans where so easily predictable. Cheratrous new that even on Earth, the four would not be safe. Patching up the torn invisable barrier, Cheratrous dropped 7 letters on the desk; One for each of the people in the house. Tipping over a dresser to cover up the bang, Cheratrous left.

They all raced up the stairs. Running into Zelda and Nikkih's room, Mr. Ranoan (who was the first in the line of paniking people) stopped and was almost trampled to death by the people in behind of him.

"It was only the dresser." Mr. Ranoan said caustously, eying the letters. "Oh good I thought something bad was happening" Said Nikkih with relief, still wondering about all the tension in the air. Everyone filed out of the room, but Mr. Ranoan stayed behind and stuffed the letters in his pocket.

Mrs. Ranoan was talking down the stairs. "Now, the thing is, we've got names to conquer. Nikkih is fine, but-you can't help but notice that some of these names are... uncommon. Aaroniel, we will give you a nickname. Aaron is a common name around here." Aaroniel (now Aaron) smiled and nodded, agreeing with his new name. Zelda looked at him. "He's so cute when he smiles" The thought ran through her mind before she could trap it and disapline it. She blushed. Nikkih poked Zelda on the arm. She was sure Nikkih had read her mind.

"We could call Zelda Zoe, and Link . . . umm..." Kat suggested then stuttered. She was still in shock about meeting the only guy she had ever liked: Link. Although he hadn't said a word to her all day. But still, she was happy, I mean how many fan girls get to meet the Hylian hero in person?

TWO HOURS LATER

"Oh no! My mom is going to spazz! I was supposed to have the dry cleaning done!" Said Kat urgently, standing up suddenly. The teens had been chatting with each other for over an hour now. Mr. Ranoan smiled. "It's done. As a thank-you gift I went out and did it for you. It's on the counter."He replied. "but you've been here for three hours, you mother might be worried. Maybe you should head home." Kat bit her lip. She said good bye to everyone, picked up the clean laundry, and promised to return.

Link watched her. What was it that he was feeling? He couldn't figure it out. Maybe it was some new human emotion. But deep inside, he new it wasn't. But it was all the same a mystery. Watching Kat walk her graceful light walk, her eyes shimmering like moonbeans dancing on a still silver pond, his heart pounded faster. Link- Link felt- Link felt what? He could not answer that question in his mind. Nor could he explain his pit feeling when she left.

"She's nice." Zelda's voice rang into his mind. "Huh?" Link looked up at Zelda who was talking to him. "I said: She's nice. Sheesh Link- I mean, Landen, have you even been paying attention?" Landen. The new name decided for Link. "Oh, sorry, Zoe, I'm just tired."

THAT EVENING

Kat lay on her bed, writing in her blue fuzzy diary. _dear diary: I can't believe it! Link! Here! On Earth! And I get to be his friend! This is great!!!!!!!!_ She stopped writing. How Kat wanted to add a "girl" to the front of "friend". Yawning, she switched off the light and fell asleep.



Searching through his medical bracelet, Link looked for what emotion he had felt when Kat was around. All he could find was... Love. It couldn't be love, Link thought. Must be something else...

Link got out of bed, and looked out the window. The roof of the garage was directly below. Opening the window, Link climbed out of the room and onto the roof. The stars where shining brightly. In Hyrule that was a good omen. Link looked to the right, knowing it's where Kat was. It sent small shivers down his back. Right then, he knew that he loved Kat...
