Part 12-The Cheif, the lie and fairy

It was silent for once. Matt and Nabby had been fighting for the past hour about who was going to sleep on the bigger bed. Nabby won of course and matt is stuck in the smaller bed.

Sheik had been very silent, not even paying attention to the yelling. He had been sitting on the only bed in the cell with his legs crossed and his eyes closed.

I hadn't had the courage to ask Sheik to get off the bed for me to sleep on it if he wasn't. Well, to be honest I wasn't sure if he wasn't asleep. He has been sitting completely still since he sat down. I'm stuck sitting on the cold floor.

"Umm.. Sheik?" I practically whispered.

Sheik stayed still, not even budging.

"Sheik?" I asked a little louder. Still he sat still.

"Sheik..Sheik...SHEIK!" I finally yelled. He opened one of his eyes and stared at me.

"Umm do you think if you arn't going to sleep on bed, can i?" I asked tugging at the end of my shirt. I felt like a child asking his parents to stay up past his bed time.

"I was sleeping until you woke me up. Now, you can sleep on the floor." He said with his rough voice.

"But.." I started but thought better of it when he glared at me. I gave a heavy sigh and tried to get comfortible in the corner. I leaned against the wall and hugged myself because I was by the window. It wasn't really cold, but the wind had a chill to it. I didn't dare to ask Sheik if I could borrow the blanket.

I finally feel asleep after an hour of trying.

Morning

I woke up with a really stiff neck and aching bones. It felt like I had been sleeping in a box how cramped up I was. I slowly raised myself to a standing posistion. I moved around trying to get feeling back in my butt and legs. There was a groaning noise from the cell next to us. Apparently Matt also got a few sores from the small bed.

Sheik just opened his eyes. He was still sitting in an upright posistion just this time he was looking out the cell bars. I never really looked at Sheik very long before he glared me away. I finally noticed what he was dressed in and the way he looked. He was wearing loose blue jeans with a black belt. His shirt was long-sleeved with had a symbol on the front. It looked like the outline of a red with three lines attacked to it. Part of his hair dangled infront of his face covering one of his eyes. The other part of his hair was combed back and placed behind the ear. He wore boots also. The bottom tracktion was almost gone. Probably from running on pavement for a long time.

I had never asked Sheik about his background. I always wondered if he was from the poor part of town or the rich part. It really wouldn't matter, but it would be interesting to know.

CLING

The bars to the cell opened up as six small Kokiri walked in and ordered us out. They did the same to Matt and Nabby. We all followed them into an old stump that was almost bigger then my house!

The old stump was a hollwed out into two rooms. A main room and the back room. The main room had a table carved from the middle of the stump and small stumps as chairs. There were about a 50 stump chairs around the round table. There was a throne like chair in the front with leaves as a seat softener. If a kokiri sat in the chair, he would look even smaller because it would be way above his head.

The back room was black with only a small light. It was at an angle so I couldn't see inside of the room.

Kokiri's sat at each of the tables. They seemed to be in a meeting. They all stopped talking and looked at us as if we all grow a third head. Some whispered to each other. They spoke so low that I couldn't caught what they said. The Kokiri's that lead us in, stood gaurd. I looked over to the right and saw all of our weapons covered in a strange vine-like plant. The plant had thrones and was a bright green. There were buds growing with yellow flowers and a red center. I cocked my head to the side as I stared at it.

A kokiri next to me who was a guard chuckled. I looked down at him and said,"What's so funny?"

He repiled,"Just that. If you try to get anything from that plant's vines, it will posion you with it's thrones."

My eyes widened. "Then how are we supposed to get the weapons out?"

He chuckled once again. "You're not."

Sheik nugged me and I looked at the meeting. They all stood up as if this was a courtroom and the judge was about to arrive.

A small Kokiri walked in. He had blonde hair with dark blue eyes. His skin had a tan to it, just like a surfer would have. He was wearing a green vest with a red flower in the pocket. he gave the impression of being a very respectful person. His aura was filled with pride and respect. He glanced up at us, then sat down in the throne like chair. As soon as he did, everyone else sat down.

"Now. What are these outsiders doing here?" he said with a gruff voice.

A Kokiri with red hair and freckles stood up and looked at the him.

"Sir. They followed Mido back from the forest. As we all know outsiders are not welcomed ever since the great darkness over 200 years ago. I say we should kick them into the valley of Deku. Those Deku babies will take care of them." He said and sat down. Some of the other started o nod in agreement. Others gave it thought and whispered to each other.

"Silence. Mido. Tell me what happened." he said after waving his hand for silence.

The one who had hit me with the nut in the nose, stood up. he was sitting across from the one who had just spoken. He was 3 chairs down from the one in the throne.

"Sir. I was minding my own business, when the tall blonde guy stepped on my foot. I got mad. When he saw that I was mad, he chased after me! I ran of course. Then I went through the secert enterance. I thought he wouldn't follow. When he followed I alarted the rest of the warroirs at once. Then all his friends followed when we finally got him in jail. That's all that happened sir." He sat back down.

The other begain to whisper between each other.

I felt anger swell up in me. How dare he say that! he had hit me first!

"That's not what happened at all!" I shouted. Everyone turned and looked at me. My fists were gripped and my teeth were clentched. One of the guards started to try to stop me from talking. I back my hand on his forehead and pushed him back until he fell on his butt. "Don't even try it shorty."

I was so angry I didn't care that Sheik and Matt were trying to stop me from going on a rampage. I shook off their grips from my arms. Nabby was watching with interest. Apparently she thought this was entertaining.

"I didn't do that at all! He hit me with a nut with his sling-shot! Then when I tried to find him to ask him why he hit me, he did it again! He made me bleed and probably broke my nose! So, I naturally ran after him and fell down a hole. THAT'S what happened!" I said. I could feel my face turning red with anger.

There was talk going on and some were so scared I thought they would pee their pants. I had calmed myself enough not to try to jump over the table and kill Mido for what he had said.

"Are you done yet?" Asked the Kokiri in the thron chair. I suddenly felt like a child. I slowly nodded. "Good. As you may be wondering who I am. I am the cheif of the Kokiri. I have spoken with the Great Deku tree. He said he had felt someone with a good heart and very great intention would be stopping by the forest with a grand sword. Along with him would be three outsiders and a fairy. You have proven to have a heart. I see you haven't killed Mido for what he has done and didn't kill the guards even though you could have easily done that. You have passed all but one test. You do not have a fairy."

"I do! Navi is my fairy. She said she would meet us in the forest today. She should be here any minute!"
"Then we shall wait and see." The cheif said, sitting back in the chair.

'Wait and see? Man, I am so bored of that.' I thought as I took a seat and decided to wait.
