the story 'up and running' again! ^^; Oh yes, and I redid the other
chapies, well, fixed a few grammar errors and such...Anyway, thanks
everyone for the reviews! And I hope this chapie is longer... But first,
the dreaded disclaimer...
Disclaimer: In no way do I own Zelda or any of the characters...
Okies, here is the chapie! Njoy! ^^
~
Aisu couldn't help but cry. What happened to everyone? Had they died when Hyrule was iced over? What about her parents? Would she ever see them again?! Would see ever see anyone from the town alive again?!?! As she looked over toward Natsu, she knew she was thinking the same. She looked over toward Link, and even through her teary eyes, she saw the pained look on his face. Because, after all, he was a guardian of Hyrule. As well as princess Zelda, whom's whereabouts were still unknown.
"I'd like to take this moment to tell you that, by seeing this, you should know there is absolutely no hope for you three, or your precious Hyrule! Muhahahaha!!" He laughed evilly at them. "Alright, that's it for now. Take them back to their cells!" Called Yokoshima to the guards.
~*~
Tears were still streaming down Aisu's face as she and Link were led back to their cell. Natsu had been led a different way again. And, that's when she realized, she may never see Natsu's face again, let alone that light of day... No! She could not afford to think that way! She had to be strong for them. All of them, and hope everyone would get out of this unharmed and okay.
"I...I can't believe it." Aisu heard someone, Link, murmur.
"I-it's all my fault. I supposed to be their protector. I was supposed to be her protector as well. And I couldn't...They depended on me, and I let them down, I let them all down... I'm not worthy to be anything. I'm not worthy to be living." She heard him say. At this, she got angry.
"What do you mean, your not worthy?!" She angrily yelled at him. "You are the best known protector of Hyrule ever! Not to mention the bravest. And your giving up now?! What happened to the great guardian Link that we all knew? Well, if you ever find him again, tell him that Princess Zelda and the land of Hyrule need his help!" Aisu finished, hoping it hit the nail on the head for Link. But he remained silent. Aisu sighed in defeat. 'This might take a while' she thought. She heard something scurry across the floor.
~*~
Natsu gulped, and tried to contain her shaking. 'This couldn't be real...There is no way it could. It's just a dream. Yeah, just a dream that I will wake up from at any moment... Yeah...Any moment now, I'll wake up...any moment...' But, some where inside her she knew, that moment would never come, because this isn't a dream. Just then, the door to her cell opened.
"Get up." Came a commanding voice. Natsu shivered, but stood up. "Follow." Again, whom ever it was ordered. Once again, she obeyed. She followed him down long corridors, twists and turns leading every which way. They came to a stop in front of huge doors, much like before. But these doors were different some how... She didn't know exactly how she knew, she just knew. The doors opened, and once again, she was pushed inside. She heard the doors close behind her. This room was similar to the one from before, but it had a silver floor and seemed to have the essence of fear all about it. She could feel the hair on the back of her neck rise, she was so scared.
Suddenly she heard a load groan from behind her, she quickly turned, just as lighting came flashing about the strange room. She again heard movement, this time to her side. She turned again, and something lunged at her. She screamed, and fell backwards. The thing suddenly disappeared. She gasped, sitting up. The room was once again lighted by lighting, this time with a clap of loud thunder as well. She gasped as she saw a dark figure advance on her thought the lighting. It drew it sword, and jumped at her. She did the only thing she could think of, put her hands up in defense. She shut her eyes and prepared for the blow.
It never came.
She slowly opened one eye, only to see a sword on the ground in front of her. The lighting had stopped, as had the thunder. The doors again opened.
~*~
The door opened, and a guard came in.
"You wouldn't of happen to see a pesky little rat, er, cat go through here, would ya?" The Guard asked them.
"No, I haven't noticed anything animal or human has come in here besides yourself." Aisu told the guard.
"I have not noted any cats come in here, either, sir." Link also told the guard. The guard huffed a bit.
"Grr... Well, I'm gonna search this room. And you'd better hope that I don't find a cat, 'cause if I did, that'd mean you were lying. And when you lie, you have to be punished." The guard concluded a smirk on his face. He searched the room, never coming up with anything other than dust. He huffed again and left the room, slamming the door behind him.
"Whew, that was close..." Aisu whispered, "You can come out now, Katana." Aisu said, recivinging an odd look from Link, until a cat jumped down from seemingly no where, startling Link a little bit.
"Um...Where did that cat come from? Is it yours or somethin'?" Link asked, blinking.
"Uh, well, I think she got on that ledge up there." Aisu said, pointing to a well hidden narrow ledge, "She's not mine, she's Natsu's. And her name is Katana." Katana meowed a greeting to Link, seeming to know they were talking about her.
"Hmm...She seems to be an intelligent cat. I wonder...Hey Kitty, um, Katana, if you know what I'm saying, do you think you could sneak outta here and take the keys from the guard out there, then give the keys to us? Preferably without the guard knowing." Link asked the cat, while thinking in his mind 'Okay, I must be going insane, I'm talking to a cat like it can understand me...' But, nevertheless, Katana meowed cheerfully, nodded, and slipped out the door, since there was a small hole in it that she was able to fit though. Aisu looked at Link.
"Wow...That's some good thinking. I wonder if Katana can pull it off, though...I mean, without the guard noticing and all..." Aisu whispered to him. Link nodded, he was afraid of this as well, but the cat was their last hope of getting out of here...And the cat, Katana, seemed very intelligent for a cat. A few moments later, she (Katana) slipped back through the door, and walked out to Link, jumped up the wall a bit, a dropped them in his hand. Link, finding the right key, and with a lot of other trouble, was finally able to unlock the chains around his hands, neck, and ankles. Then he walked over to Aisu and did the same.
"Heh...thanks. Yes! We're finally free!" Aisu whispered excitedly.
"Let's not get too excited yet, we still have to find your friend, save Zelda, then get out of here, all without getting caught. This will be rather hard." Link reminded her.
"Humph, well, thanks for ruining my good mood." Aisu huffed.
"Your welcome, now lets go." Link said opening the door, and stepping out carefully. He looked both ways, then signaled Aisu to follow.
"I think it's clear." He told her. He still felt unsafe, like someone was watching them, waiting. If only he had listened to that part of him...
"Stop right there!!" A voice hollered at them.
^^;;.....Ack, I'm so sorry, that chapie probly really stunk, huh? And it was rather short, still... Oh...I do hate writer's block... Well, if anyone is still reading this, please review!
