Author's Note: Sorry this chapter has taken so LONG! I've been having 'Family' problems lately.

Part 10:Childern of the Forest

"OUCH!" Sheik had just hit me with ANOTHER branch. We were deep in the forest now. Sheik and Nabby were leading of course, Matt was taking in the sights behind us and I was right behind Sheik.

"Sorry." Sheik said silently.

"I bet" I mummbled under my breath.

Ever since we entered the forest I have been having these weird feelings. I feel like I'm home almost.

'Must be because Link livid here his whole life'

"Ouch!" I yelped.

"I didn't hit you with a branch this time." Sheik said.

"I know that!" I said. I bent down and rubbed my knee. I hit something, hard. I looked around for what had hit me. I looked back up and sheik and Nabby had started to walk again.

"Guys! Wait up. I want to find out what hit me."

"We are not stopping for anything." Nabby said.

I frowned in her direction. Matt had just pasted me. Navi was sick of being bounced around under my hat, so she flew up over Matt's head and followed from there. I shook me head and rolled my eyes at all of them. I turned to look at what hit me, when I saw the tip of a green hat disappear behind a tree, a little off the path.

'Gotcha!' I thought as I ran after it. I slowed down beside the tree and tip-toed around the base of it. I turned my head around to look at what it was, when suddenly I was hit! Right on the nose too!

"OWW-WHEE!!!" I yelled. I grabbed my nose. I felt my eyes water up from the pain in my nose. I released my hands from my nose and looked down at them. Sure enough there was some blood droplets on them. I clentched my fists and looked down at my shoes to see what the little thing had thrown at me. It was the shell of some kind of nut. I bent down and picked it up. I crushed it in my hand and looked for the little beast that hit me with it.

I looked before me and saw a tiny person, about the size of a first grader, with red hair and freckles on his face. He was wearing a green outfit with shoes that curled at the ends. He gave an almost evil smile, like a kid who just pulled a prank, then ran.

"Wait! When I get my hands on you!" I yelled after him. I ran after him with everything I owned. I wasn't going to let him get away with this!

*****(AN:This means the prospective has changed. It's changed to Navi's prospective)

Meanwhile, We contiued to walk on the path. It had been a long time since I came to the forest, I have almost forgotten how to get to the temple. I remember, just a little to the left of us was Kokiri Village. I sighed. My wings were getting a bit tired for flapping.

'Maybe Link will let me under his hat.' I thought. I turned around and Link was gone!

"You guys! Link's missing!" I said.

Sheik, Matt and Nabby turned around and noticed he was gone.

"Where is he?"Matt asked.

"If we knew that then he wouldn't be lost now would he?" Nabby said, crossing her arms.

"Nabby, this isn't the time. We need to find him before something very bad happens to him." Sheik said. He quickly started to go back down the path. "Link? LINK! Where are YOU?"

"What if he's lost? Oh no! This is all my fault! I should have just stayed under his hat. That way when he got lost, I could lead him back to you guys!" I said. I had just given guardian fairies a bad name. "I've never know any of the fairies I know to lose their partners! This is not good."

"Calm down Navi! We'll find him. Ha can't have gotten far." Matt said.

"I hope your right."

*****(Back to Link's)

I had ran into a clearing. There were bushes and trees everywhere around me. I felt like I was in a small circle. I could hear birds singing, the wind blow. It was very eerie being there by myself though and I had lost track of that little kid.

I looked around me to make sure I really couldn't see him, then took a step forward. I felt the ground below my feet fall away as I screamed. I fell down a black hole. It felt like a slide. A very small and long slide. I barely had enough room for my elbows to not scrape the sides.

Then I saw a light. I fell out of the end of the slide and onto something soft. I looked down at it. It was a gaint mushroom! It had red spots and was tipping! I scrambled to reach the other side before it tipped, but it tipped me into a big lake.

I fell in and swam up for air. I gulped in the air for only a couple of seconds when I felt the pull of a current. It pulled me under, but before it did I managed to hold my breath. I was pulled to another slide like tube and dumped out into an even bigger lake. This water was much warmer then the last. I reached the surface and let sweet air into my lungs.

I swam over to the side of the pool and held onto it. It was really hard to swim with a heavy sheild on your back.

I coughted up the water I had swolled and just let the shock set in of what just happened. I took a few more breathes of air, when two small feet stepped into my view. I looked up to see the small boy I had been chasing, holding a sling-shot with another one of those nut shells as the ammo. There were more kids with him too.

Each of them were about the same size, and had a fairy with them! I had just noticed that! They were dressed in Kokiri clothing with either green shoes or boots on.

"Don't move." said the one I had been chasing.

I gave a heavy sigh. I knew this wasn't going to end well.
