Part 16-The Temple in the Forest (part 3)
I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Matt. He smiled at me and I gave a weak smile back. Then, we looked up at the top of the stairs. It wasn't too far up but it would be hard for anyone to get up there. Sheik looked at the stairs.
"Got any ideas?" he said.
I raised my eyebrow in thought. I remembered getting into the temple, but by what? What had I used?
I looked down at my weapons. Then looked at my hook-shot! 'I could easily get up there with that.. but how would the others get up there? Maybe, it could hold all our weight, or I could go first, then drop it down and let the next person use it. What if they don't know HOW to use it?' I scartched my head in thought.
"Hey Link." Matt said.
I looked at him. He had an idea.
"Why don't we tie one of those vines onto the end of one of your arrows, and shot it up. Then we could all climb up to the temple." Matt suggested.
I smiled. When in dout, turn to Matt! I grabbed a strong vine and tied it to my arrow. Then, shot it up to the tree branch above the steps. We all climbed up and entered the Temple.
I turned the door handle to the main room. It opened all the way to expose the whole place. Torches were lit on either sides of the room. Most of the room was lit up. There were stone carvings and something in the middle. There were four unlit torches and a square on the floor with strange carvings on it.
I stepped in more to let everyone else through. We looked around. There were a few doors to chose from.
"Which one do we go in first?" Asked Matt.
I looked around at all the doors, tyring to remember which one we had to go in first when I got a strange chill go down my spine. There was something, weird about this place. It felt nothing like when I first came to it. I felt a shiver run up and down my spine. There was something wrong or out of place.
'Someone evil is here.'
I looked around, trying to find the evil person. He or she was near. I don't know who it is, but someone not very far from where I am standing. I shook me head. I had a mission here. If there was an evil person, I could always stop them later.
I continued on. I heard everyone walk behind me. I stopped in the middle of the unlit torches. I knew there was something to them. I wasn't sure what though. I don't have ALL my memories back yet. I have queit a bit of them, but not all of them.
I looked at them. I stepped on the square in the middle. I squiten in concentraition. I KNEW there was SOMETHING about these torches.
I took a step forward and kicked a pebble lightly. I sighed and turned to them, then I heard a sound. The pebble I kicked, dropped down and just landed!
I looked around the square. There was an ever so slightly a crack around it. Just enough to see if you're really looking at it.
'The elevator..'
I smiled. I remembered it. I had to light the torches. All four of them. Then, I would drop down to the bottom level. That must be the place where the Cheif has to stand in order to open the gates to the sacred realm! This was going to be easy since I knew I defeated all the evil in here.
'But if I beat them, then why are the torches lite?'
As if on que I saw something in the corner of my eye. I turned quickly, pulling out my sword and sheild. The rest of the group turned in the direction i did. There was a small shadow there.
I glared, not knowing what it was. Then, it stepped out into the open. I gasped. The rest of the group stood wide eyed.
************************
"Yes! Yes! I feel my spirit growing. THIS time I will stop that pesky kid in the forest temple. My servent better not fail me. I will return once Link's blood is shed on the sacred Realm gates. I WILL return and once I do.. The WHOLE WORLD WILL BE MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
***********************
"I can't believe you!"
"Really. How could you?"
"You're going to get hurt and get killed. And I am NOT taking to blame for it."
"Well, atleast we got some else on our side."
Matt added in after Sheik, Nabby and Navi were talking to Saria. She had followed us to the Temple and was refusing to leave. I had sat down on one of the stones int he Temple and was watching them. I couldn't help but smile at them and shake my head. They really didn't understand ANYTHING about a Temple. Once you're in, you either finish it quickly or die. Those were the only choices and here they are, standing here, telling Saria she should leave. I already knew this Temple pretty well. It set up traps for people who leave once they entered.
'And that means she stays. I wonder if I should somehow tell them that or just leave it? This is quite entertaining.'
I shook my head, then looked around. I just noticed something. The Cheif was missing!
I shot up and ran over to them. I tapped Sheik on the shoulder and pointed around.
"What is it Link?" he asked in an angry voice.
I gave him a 'like I could tell you' face. 'Figure it out sheik! COme on you're suppose to be the smart one'
Sheik shrugged, not knowing what I was saying. I sighed. This Temple was going to be even harder WITH them.
I grabbed a few leaves. The same number as everyone who was supposed to be here. I pointed to a leaf and then pointed to matt. Then another leaf and then to Nabby. I pointed out everyone, but there was still one leaf left.
"Someone's missing." Matt said.
I nodded and smiled.
"The Cheif! The cheif is missing." navi spoke up, flying around our heads.
I nodded and looked at them. I pointed to Nabby and Matt. Then I pointed to a door. Then pointed to Sheik and Navi. Then I pointed to a door. I nodded at Saria to follow me. We went for the one directly across from the enterance. (You know. The last one you're suppose to go to. I know about the other one behind the blue block, but do we really need to do that one if he doesn't need a map and bow?)
Saria followed me up the stairs walking right behind me. I opened the door and was prepared for anything. I drew out my sword and sheild. I continued to walk forward. I heard the door shut. I nearly jumped out of my skin! I turned around and saw Saira looking at me. I sighed and continued walking.
Saria began to call out for the Cheif.
"Cheif! CHEIF? Where are YOU?"
Then, finally noticed something in the corner of my eye. It was Saria's fairy. Her fairy had green hair just like Saria. Her small form was hidden by a bright green light. She had just woken up from Saria's shoulder.
"Wha..what's happening?" She questioned in her sleepy voice.
"The Cheif is lost in this temple." Saria said with concern.
"Oh no! Wait.. Link? Link is that you?" The Fairy questioned. I had forgotten that Saria even HAD a fairy. The little Fairy had been asleep and hidden by Saria's hair to be noticed.
I simply nodded.
"Oh link! What a great day it is to have you back! What have you been doing all this time while out in the other world?" The little Fairy questioned, buzzing around my head.
I stopped my hand from the craving to swat the little fairy away. I simply looked straight in head of me, hoping to the Three Goddesses, that Saria would explain that I couldn't talk anymore! The whole buzzing around me head thing was getting old Very fast.
"Stop that Katly! Link can't talk anymore. Well, for awhile." Saira explained to the fairy. Saria knew I could only take so much of that buzzing.
"Oh. Sorry Link. But, LInk. Where's Navi? I bet I can get all the details from Navi! She would gladly epxlain everything to me. Too bad she doesn't have too much time to talk anymore with the whole 'waiting for Link' thing. Oh that's right. You're back. So, where is she?" The fairy continued, only stopping to look around for the other Fairy.
"Navi is with Sheik right now. She will be meeting up with us later. Why don't you try to keep your voice down so Link can concentrait?" Saria said.
'Thank you Three Goddesses!'
The fairy mummbled something and sat down on Saria's shoulder. She was barely visible through Saria's hair.
I rolled my eyes and continued to walk. I saw some blue light down at the end of the hallway.
'It might be a torch.' I thought and continued down that way. Saria was getting very uneasy around here. It was darker here then it was in the main chamber. She latched onto my sheild arm. She continuly looked around at everything, taking in it's sights.
I smiled. I was pretty sure she would like it or be scared. I could tell she was both, but felt a lot better when I was here.
We continued down the hallway together, in a patterned. Both walking in step with the other. I felt very much like a warrior, protecting a princess. I smiled at the thought. Protecting a Princess. That.. feeling.. was very.. VERY close to how I felt when I fought.
'Zelda...'
That name had popped into my head again! I was sure that she was near by.. almost by my side through this whole adventure. But how could that be? I hadn't seen a girl with us since Saria. Ok, Nabby was a girl but didn't act like one most of the time.
'I must be still in lov with her. I wonder where she is? If I was reborn and so was Sheik and Nabby, then why not her?'
I was deep in thought until Saria shreiked. I looked around wildly until I spotted what made her yelled.
It was a floating skull with blood red eyes and a blue flame around it. (I HATE those little things!)
I gently pushed Saria behind me and held out my sword and sheild at it. It came at me with a hiss. I swung at it. The thing didn't seem to be bothered by my sword at all! It flew by me, making it's blue flame hit my sword arm. I opened my mouth to yell, but nothing came out. It was painful! My whole arm just went numb! I couldn't even pick up my sword anymore with that arm!
I posistion myself between it and Saria. I wasn't going to let Saria die here! It flew at me again, this time much faster. With my sword already dropped and my sheild hand injured, I didn't feel very useful at the moment. I pushed my sheild infront of the little beast. It's flame went out when it hit. I tried to pick up my sword, but it wasn't much use.
I heard my sword being picked up. I looked over and saw Saria with a pale face. But her eyes showed her determination. She clutched the sword with white knuckles. When the thing charged after her! I couldn't move fast enough! It was going to hit her!
I opened my mouth to yell and nothing came out. I was so scared that she was going to die. I was feeling pain already. Pain from my loss. I was in such sarrow at the thought of lossing her I had yelled. My voice came back.
"SARIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!"
My voice rung through the building. It was a hoarse voice and keep cutitng off and on for awhile, but it was back! Saria held onto the sword with all her might. She slowly swung the sword. It would have been funny to watch if this wasn't a life threatening sitution. She stabbed the thing with the side on the sword, ontop of it's head. From the weight of the sword, the sword fell through and sliced the skull in half.
Saria dropped the sword and started to cry. I dropped my sheild and ran over to her. I grabbed her with my good arm into a firm but carefull hug. She grabbed my shirt and started to cry into it. I patted her back and led her to the ground. She sat down in my lap. Anyone who would have walked in on this sitution would think this was a big brother, little sister moment. She was pretty small compared to me. I hugged her gently until she started to settle down.
"Shhh... It's ok Saria. I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you. I promise. I never lie Saria. Don't worry." My voice was crackling and sounded like I was whispering, but I was struggling to talk. I felt like I was yelling, but only a little voice came out.
'Figures. pain would make it go away and pain would make it come back. the story of my two lives.'
I patted her back as she looked up at me.
"You got your voice back. How did it come back?" She questioned while I rubbed her tears off of her face. She looked up at me.
"I was so scared of loseing you, I made it come back." I answered in a whispered tone.
"Can you only whisper?"
I nodded. I already felt the strain of my voice being used coming back ten folds. It felt like I had eaten sand-paper for lunch and dinner!
"link?"
I looked down at her.
"I was scared too."
I hugged her again. She hugged me back. Then, we remembered where we were. She got up and so did I. We looked at each other. We knew that if something happened to one of us, we would be there to protect the other.
I smiled at her. I felt my arm grow back it's feeling. I grabbed my sword and slowly raised it. Then picked up my sheild and held it. I felt like I had just woken up from a long rest and was ready to take on the world! I knew with Saria here and my other friend's in the Temple, I was going to make it! I was going to get through this with or without all my memories!
**********************************
"How long have we been walking down this hallway?" Matt asked Nabby.
"A long time now be quiet! I don't want you to give away our cover!" Hissed Nabby.
"...What cover?" Matt questioned.
Nabby gave him a fierce glare. Matt just glared right back. He had been putting up with being locked in a cell with her, sleeping on the floor because of her, being called names, being criticized AND now when he TRIES to make a LITTLE conversation with her to be nice he got it thrown right back in his face! It could make a person go nuts with what he put up with!
Nabby blinked in surprise. She had NEVER had a man glare back at her when she glared at someone like that!
'What NERVE! How DARE HE stand up to ME like that? Who does he think he is? The King?!'
Matt knew he was going to get into an arguement with her. He KNEW it! That's why he was hoping Link would pick him. Instead he picked Saria! Someone he just met and .. ok.. He KNEW her form his PAST life. But how could he abandon him and go with her instead?
"What's got you in a bad mood? That time of the month?" Nabby inquired. Giving a smirk.
"Ha ha very funny Nabby! Atleast I TRY to make this a good mood unlike you who always has to be a complete PSM phyco and piss everyone off with your bad additude!" Matt almost hissed. He REALLY wasn't in the mood. Usually with him it would be a quick joke and a smile, but not now. Nabby's face dropped.
Matt saw it and felt incredible guilt for making that happen.
"Look.. Nabby... Nabooru. I'm sorry for snapping at you like that. I know you will make fun of me for this, but I'm a little upset that Link picked Saria over me. Can you forgive me?"
She continued to walk on. He tried to stopped her with a gentle hand on her shoulder. She shrugged him off, but looked at him. Her face gave it away. She forgave him.
Matt smiled and continued to walk with her.
'Maybe this won't be so bad. I kinda like to idea of a woman with me in a dark hallway all alone.' He grinned like an idiot at that thought.
"What smiling about?" Nabby questioned.
"Nothing.. Just nothing." He said with a smile. She glared at him and turned on her heel, walking down the hallway. He rolled his eyes at her back.
"hey. Wait up!" He followed her.
******************************
Sheik turned the next corner. He was going to be careful here. But he was in a bit of a hurry. He had to go back to the city after he helped complete the Temple. He was going to visit his family. He hadn't seem any of them for a while. Well, he only had one sibling still alive.
He gave a sigh. He parents had been murdered in a dark alley when they were coming home. He shook his head from, getting rid of the memories. His face hardened.
'What happened to Sheik? he was looking really sad, almost about to cry then a hard face. I wonder what he was thinking about?' navi thought as she watched Sheik.
"Sheik." Navi asked queitly.
"Yes."
"Do you think we will find the Cheif soon?"
"I hope so."
"And sheik?"
"Yes?"
"What happened when you looked sad. You were about to cry."
Sheik stopped in mid step. Then glared at the Fairy.
"Don't you EVER let it slip out that I was about to cry. EVER! Got it?!"
Navi nodded with fear on her face. Sheik gave one final glare at the fairy and continued.
'Boy! What is his problem?!'
********************************
Saria and I continued down the pathway. Then, we reached a door. I gulped as I reached for it. I grabbed the knob and felt Saria latch onto my arm again. I looked down at her. She looked back up at me. She gave a weary smile and I smiled back. I turned the knob and stepped inside. We walked inside and closed the door behind us.
The room was dark. I couldn't see a thing.
"Link."
"Yes?"
"I don't like this at all."
"Either do I."
Then, suddenly the torches in the room came on! I looked around for who or what did that. then we saw it. A floating ghost with a green shredded shirt over it. It held a torch with a strange green flame on it.
I gasped! I didn't remember THIS thing or ghost.. whatever!
"What the..."
Suddenly it flew over into a painting of itself. Five blocks fell ontop the ground. An old clock with weird numbers on it dropped half way down to the ground. It started to tick.
"What.. is.. going.. on?" Saria asked.
"I have no clue.."
"Mabe you half to put the blocks together or something.."
"But I can't see the tops! How am I suppose to..." I saw the Exit. It was much higher above ground then the ground the blocks were on. I smiled.
"Saria, go onto the platform. Stand on there and tell me where to move the blocks. And hurry. I think we are running out of time."
Saria nodded and ran up to the platform. I ran to the blocks, putting away my sword and sheild. I ran up to the first block.
"Where do I move it Saria?"
"Over to the right! And a foot up."
I nodded and pushed the block. This was going to be much easier with her helping me out.
'What did I ever do without her?'
************************
It had been really silent, but a friendly silent instead of the cold silence. Matt walked beside Nabby. He looked in front of him with a confidence that most people wouldn't have.
'He is so calm and yet determined. He always is cheerfull, but he showed me his angry side. He keeps surprising me everytime I talk with him' Nabby thought as she watched him from the corner of her eye.
'Wait.. he called me Nabooru..'
Nabby stared at him fully now. Matt caught her gaze and looked at her. They both stopped walking and looked at each other. Candles on the sides of the hallway lite up only half of each of their faces. It would be a very romantic mood if it wasn't fo the fact that there was danger coming at them.
Nabby turned as she saw the danger.
"Look out!" She pushed Matt out of the way with her as the 'thing' attacked.
When they landed, Matt was on the bottom and Nabby fell ontop of him. Matt looked at her and smiled.
"So.. do you come here often?"
Nabby quickly got up, without helping him up. She reached behind her and pulled out a sword for each hand. She smirked.
"Let's get it on."
**********************
Sheik and Navi went through the end of the hallway. They had just figured out what blocks to move to find the next door. They went through it and walked in.
The door closed behind them and locked.
"This isn't good."
"SHEIK! LOO OUT!"
Sheik turned around just in time to see a ghostly figure. It hit him to the ground. He sneered and jumped up quickly. He flipped out his blades and perpared for battle.
"Navi. See if there's a way out. I'll keep ghosty here bussy."
"But.."
"GO!"
Navi quickly went over to see if there was an exit.
'Boy. Sheik is REALLY not in the mood.'
Sheik blocked the first attack. Then smirked.
"You'll have to do better then that if you expect to win."
The ghost figure got angry. Sheik smirked and swung at the Ghost. The battle was on.
**********************************************************************
WHOA! *Rests poor hands from typing cramps* My poor, poor hands! This is the LONGEST chapter I have EVER written for this story! If you were wondering why it took me so long to get this chapter out, this is why. And if you want more Chapters and the battle scenes, then review! When I get 5 reviews or a week passes, which ever one comes first, then I will write the next chapter. So, hurry up and review!
Sorry for any mis-spelled words. I was typing really fast to get this on the wbe in time. A strom is coming and I won't be on the computer for a while.
Speacail Thanks to:
The Pilot:For sticking by me even through my worst spelling chapters
Kat:My e-mail reveiwer who has helped me with ideas and made me write a long chapter.
And YOU:For reading this story!
Don't worry.. Loads more chapters to go. I think this story will be about 50-70 chapters long! But if I have long chapters like the one today, 40-55 chapters long. I will try to continue to write long chapters like this from now on. So.. SEE YA!

"Yes! Yes! I feel my spirit growing. THIS time I will stop that pesky kid in the forest temple. My servent better not fail me. I will return once Link's blood is shed on the sacred Realm gates. I WILL return and once I do.. The WHOLE WORLD WILL BE MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
***********************
"I can't believe you!"
"Really. How could you?"
"You're going to get hurt and get killed. And I am NOT taking to blame for it."
"Well, atleast we got some else on our side."
Matt added in after Sheik, Nabby and Navi were talking to Saria. She had followed us to the Temple and was refusing to leave. I had sat down on one of the stones int he Temple and was watching them.

"Someone's missing." Matt said.
I nodded and smiled.
"The Cheif! The cheif is missing." navi spoke up, flying around our heads.
I nodded and looked at them. I pointed to Nabby and Matt. Then I pointed to a door. Then pointed to Sheik and Navi. Then I pointed to a door. I nodded at Saria to follow me.

"Cheif! CHEIF? Where are YOU?"
Then, finally noticed something in the corner of my eye. It was Saria's fairy. Her fairy had green hair just like Saria. Her small form was hidden by a bright green light. She had just woken up from Saria's shoulder.
"Wha..what's happening?" She questioned in her sleepy voice.
"The Cheif is lost in this temple." Saria said with concern.
"Oh no! Wait.. Link? Link is that you?" The Fairy questioned. I had forgotten that Saria even HAD a fairy. The little Fairy had been asleep and hidden by Saria's hair to be noticed.
I simply nodded.
"Oh link! What a great day it is to have you back! What have you been doing all this time while out in the other world?" The little Fairy questioned, buzzing around my head.
I stopped my hand from the craving to swat the little fairy away. I simply looked straight in head of me, hoping to the Three Goddesses, that Saria would explain that I couldn't talk anymore! The whole buzzing around me head thing was getting old Very fast.
"Stop that Katly! Link can't talk anymore. Well, for awhile." Saira explained to the fairy. Saria knew I could only take so much of that buzzing.
"Oh. Sorry Link. But, LInk. Where's Navi? I bet I can get all the details from Navi! She would gladly epxlain everything to me. Too bad she doesn't have too much time to talk anymore with the whole 'waiting for Link' thing. Oh that's right. You're back. So, where is she?" The fairy continued, only stopping to look around for the other Fairy.
"Navi is with Sheik right now. She will be meeting up with us later. Why don't you try to keep your voice down so Link can concentrait?" Saria said.
'Thank you Three Goddesses!'
The fairy mummbled something and sat down on Saria's shoulder. She was barely visible through Saria's hair.

I tried to pick up my sword, but it wasn't much use.
I heard my sword being picked up. I looked over and saw Saria with a pale face. But her eyes showed her determination. She clutched the sword with white knuckles. When the thing charged after her! I couldn't move fast enough! It was going to hit her!
I opened my mouth to yell and nothing came out. I was so scared that she was going to die. I was feeling pain already. Pain from my loss. I was in such sarrow at the thought of lossing her I had yelled. My voice came back.
"SARIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!"
My voice rung through the building. It was a hoarse voice and keep cutitng off and on for awhile, but it was back! Saria held onto the sword with all her might. She slowly swung the sword. It would have been funny to watch if this wasn't a life threatening sitution. She stabbed the thing with the side on the sword, ontop of it's head. From the weight of the sword, the sword fell through and sliced the skull in half.
Saria dropped the sword and started to cry. I dropped my sheild and ran over to her. I grabbed her with my good arm into a firm but carefull hug. She grabbed my shirt and started to cry into it. I patted her back and led her to the ground. She sat down in my lap. Anyone who would have walked in on this sitution would think this was a big brother, little sister moment. She was pretty small compared to me. I hugged her gently until she started to settle down.
"Shhh... It's ok Saria. I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you. I promise. I never lie Saria. Don't worry." My voice was crackling and sounded like I was whispering, but I was struggling to talk. I felt like I was yelling, but only a little voice came out.
'Figures. pain would make it go away and pain would make it come back. the story of my two lives.'
I patted her back as she looked up at me.
"You got your voice back. How did it come back?" She questioned while I rubbed her tears off of her face. She looked up at me.
"I was so scared of loseing you, I made it come back." I answered in a whispered tone.
"Can you only whisper?"
I nodded. I already felt the strain of my voice being used coming back ten folds. It felt like I had eaten sand-paper for lunch and dinner!
"link?"
I looked down at her.
"I was scared too."
I hugged her again. She hugged me back. Then, we remembered where we were. She got up and so did I. We looked at each other. We knew that if something happened to one of us, we would be there to protect the other.
I smiled at her. I felt my arm grow back it's feeling. I grabbed my sword and slowly raised it. Then picked up my sheild and held it. I felt like I had just woken up from a long rest and was ready to take on the world! I knew with Saria here and my other friend's in the Temple, I was going to make it! I was going to get through this with or without all my memories!
**********************************
"How long have we been walking down this hallway?" Matt asked Nabby.
"A long time now be quiet! I don't want you to give away our cover!" Hissed Nabby.
"...What cover?" Matt questioned.
Nabby gave him a fierce glare. Matt just glared right back. He had been putting up with being locked in a cell with her, sleeping on the floor because of her, being called names, being criticized AND now when he TRIES to make a LITTLE conversation with her to be nice he got it thrown right back in his face! It could make a person go nuts with what he put up with!
Nabby blinked in surprise. She had NEVER had a man glare back at her when she glared at someone like that!
'What NERVE! How DARE HE stand up to ME like that? Who does he think he is? The King?!'
Matt knew he was going to get into an arguement with her. He KNEW it! That's why he was hoping Link would pick him. Instead he picked Saria! Someone he just met and .. ok.. He KNEW her form his PAST life. But how could he abandon him and go with her instead?
"What's got you in a bad mood? That time of the month?" Nabby inquired. Giving a smirk.
"Ha ha very funny Nabby! Atleast I TRY to make this a good mood unlike you who always has to be a complete PSM phyco and piss everyone off with your bad additude!" Matt almost hissed. He REALLY wasn't in the mood. Usually with him it would be a quick joke and a smile, but not now. Nabby's face dropped.
Matt saw it and felt incredible guilt for making that happen.
"Look.. Nabby... Nabooru. I'm sorry for snapping at you like that. I know you will make fun of me for this, but I'm a little upset that Link picked Saria over me. Can you forgive me?"
She continued to walk on. He tried to stopped her with a gentle hand on her shoulder. She shrugged him off, but looked at him. Her face gave it away. She forgave him.
Matt smiled and continued to walk with her.
'Maybe this won't be so bad. I kinda like to idea of a woman with me in a dark hallway all alone.' He grinned like an idiot at that thought.
"What smiling about?" Nabby questioned.
"Nothing.. Just nothing." He said with a smile. She glared at him and turned on her heel, walking down the hallway. He rolled his eyes at her back.
"hey. Wait up!" He followed her.
******************************
Sheik turned the next corner. He was going to be careful here. But he was in a bit of a hurry. He had to go back to the city after he helped complete the Temple. He was going to visit his family. He hadn't seem any of them for a while. Well, he only had one sibling still alive.
He gave a sigh. He parents had been murdered in a dark alley when they were coming home. He shook his head from, getting rid of the memories. His face hardened.
'What happened to Sheik? he was looking really sad, almost about to cry then a hard face. I wonder what he was thinking about?' navi thought as she watched Sheik.
"Sheik." Navi asked queitly.
"Yes."
"Do you think we will find the Cheif soon?"
"I hope so."
"And sheik?"
"Yes?"
"What happened when you looked sad. You were about to cry."
Sheik stopped in mid step. Then glared at the Fairy.
"Don't you EVER let it slip out that I was about to cry. EVER! Got it?!"
Navi nodded with fear on her face. Sheik gave one final glare at the fairy and continued.
'Boy! What is his problem?!'
********************************
Saria and I continued down the pathway. Then, we reached a door. I gulped as I reached for it. I grabbed the knob and felt Saria latch onto my arm again. I looked down at her. She looked back up at me. She gave a weary smile and I smiled back. I turned the knob and stepped inside. We walked inside and closed the door behind us.
The room was dark. I couldn't see a thing.
"Link."
"Yes?"
"I don't like this at all."
"Either do I."
Then, suddenly the torches in the room came on! I looked around for who or what did that. then we saw it. A floating ghost with a green shredded shirt over it. It held a torch with a strange green flame on it.
I gasped! I didn't remember THIS thing or ghost.. whatever!
"What the..."
Suddenly it flew over into a painting of itself. Five blocks fell ontop the ground. An old clock with weird numbers on it dropped half way down to the ground. It started to tick.
"What.. is.. going.. on?" Saria asked.
"I have no clue.."
"Mabe you half to put the blocks together or something.."
"But I can't see the tops! How am I suppose to..." I saw the Exit. It was much higher above ground then the ground the blocks were on. I smiled.
"Saria, go onto the platform. Stand on there and tell me where to move the blocks. And hurry. I think we are running out of time."
Saria nodded and ran up to the platform. I ran to the blocks, putting away my sword and sheild. I ran up to the first block.
"Where do I move it Saria?"
"Over to the right! And a foot up."
I nodded and pushed the block. This was going to be much easier with her helping me out.
'What did I ever do without her?'
************************
It had been really silent, but a friendly silent instead of the cold silence. Matt walked beside Nabby. He looked in front of him with a confidence that most people wouldn't have.
'He is so calm and yet determined. He always is cheerfull, but he showed me his angry side. He keeps surprising me everytime I talk with him' Nabby thought as she watched him from the corner of her eye.
'Wait.. he called me Nabooru..'
Nabby stared at him fully now. Matt caught her gaze and looked at her. They both stopped walking and looked at each other. Candles on the sides of the hallway lite up only half of each of their faces. It would be a very romantic mood if it wasn't fo the fact that there was danger coming at them.
Nabby turned as she saw the danger.
"Look out!" She pushed Matt out of the way with her as the 'thing' attacked.
When they landed, Matt was on the bottom and Nabby fell ontop of him. Matt looked at her and smiled.
"So.. do you come here often?"
Nabby quickly got up, without helping him up. She reached behind her and pulled out a sword for each hand. She smirked.
"Let's get it on."
**********************
Sheik and Navi went through the end of the hallway. They had just figured out what blocks to move to find the next door. They went through it and walked in.
The door closed behind them and locked.
"This isn't good."
"SHEIK! LOO OUT!"
Sheik turned around just in time to see a ghostly figure. It hit him to the ground. He sneered and jumped up quickly. He flipped out his blades and perpared for battle.
"Navi. See if there's a way out. I'll keep ghosty here bussy."
"But.."
"GO!"
Navi quickly went over to see if there was an exit.
'Boy. Sheik is REALLY not in the mood.'
Sheik blocked the first attack. Then smirked.
"You'll have to do better then that if you expect to win."
The ghost figure got angry. Sheik smirked and swung at the Ghost. The battle was on.
