Ch 4
Back at Ashley's house, Link has just come back from a ride on his horse, Epona. He sees Ashley's Mom, Lisa, running up to him screaming his name. He stops Epona and gets off of her. Lisa runs up, "Ashley's gone! I can't find her anywhere!" "Oh my God! Shana's gone?" Link asks, startled. "At first, I thought she was with you but as soon as you came back with your horse. She wasn't." "Well, I always give Epona rides on weekends. I will find her Mrs. Martin, don't worry, "he says, petting Epona's mane. She snorts. "Thanks, Link." "No problem. Well, can you feed her for a while?" He points to Epona, "Apples and... sugar." "Sugar?" "Yeah. She needs it. I never really give her sugar a lot but now I have to. I'll probably need her for this. So, if you have any sugar cubes give her three every other day. Okay?" "Uhh... sure." "Thanks. Now I have to get my stuff," he takes Epona's reins and walks her up the garage. Lisa walks into the garage and into the house. Link takes the saddle off of Epona's back. She nudges Link's head with her nose. "Sorry. You can't come with, girl," Link says to Epona. He pets her mane. Epona snorts loudly. Link hugs her, "Mrs. Martin will take care of you. Don't worry." Epona neighs. "Well, I have to go. I'll be back, don't worry. Okay?" Link takes her reigns off and lays them on the ground. He walks away from Epona and she neighs loudly. Link quiets her and walks into the house. He closes the door behind himself, "Now what would Shana be doing?" Both of Ashley's dogs, Maia and Sienna, run up to Link and start licking him. Link bends down and picks Sienna up. He pets the cute brown dog, "Hello Sienna, you're so cute. Hey! Watch it!" Sienna starts to lick Link's lips with her wet, slobbery tongue. Link laughs, puts her down, and wipes his wet face off with the back of his hand. He walks into the kitchen and sees Ashley's Dad making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He notices Link and smiles at him, "Sup? You know, I thought you were going to wake up Ashley and tell her that we were watching a movie this morning. But you were gone at 5:00 in the morning." Link rubs the back of his head, "Well, yeah, sorry Mr. Martin. I always give Epona rides on the weekends, remember?" "Well, yeah, but you should tell us when you are, okay?" "Yeah, sure. If you're awake," Link laughs. "I heard this weird rumble coming from upstairs this morning. I hope you didn't bring your horse in the house, Link." "Oh no. I didn't, sir. Don't worry. And what do you mean, rumble?" "Right before I turned the movie on in the basement, I heard a loud rumble in the house. Derek said it was you and not to worry about it so we watched the movie." "Oh, well, it definitely wasn't me." "Alright," Ashley's Dad finishes preparing his sandwich and brings it to the table, "Well, do you know where Ashley is?" "That's what I'm going to find out. I bet she's in her bedroom typing her story. You know, it's getting really good. What chapter are you on anyway?" "Nine." "What? You're slow, Phil." Phil laughs, "I'm so busy at work and all." "Yeah, well, I have to get my stuff. See ya." "Bye," Phil starts to eat his sandwich and reads his book. Link walks up the back stairs and walks to Ashley's bedroom door and sees it closed, "She never closes her door. I wonder what's happening." Link opens her door and sees his Master sword on the floor. He sighs and picks it up. He looks at it and sees his reflection on the dull side of it. He walks up to her bed, kneels down, and reaches under it. He pulls out his Hylian shield and the scabbard. He sheathes his sword in the scabbard and ties it to his equipment strap, along with his shield. He then pulls out both of his gauntlets and slides them onto his hands. He sees Ashley's cat jump on her bed and meow at him. He smiles and pets her. She purrs. "Now where would I be if I was Shana, Xena?" Link talks to Ashley's cat, Xena. She meows. Link, laughs, "You're cute." He looks at the poster of himself fighting Volvagia. He sighs and looks out of the window; towards the cornfield he sees a huge portion of it missing. "Holy-" Xena meows. "Very funny, Xena." She meows in answer. Link runs out of Ashley's bedroom and runs down the staircase. He trips on Maia and hits the door with a loud thud. He moans, "I'm okay!" He shakes off the impact and opens the door quickly. He runs outside and towards the cornfield. His fast Hylian feet carry him to the cornfield in a mere thirty seconds. He stops right where the big burnt circle of corn lays. He rubs his boot on one withered piece of corn. "Ganondorf was here. I know it. Shana must be with him." He hears footsteps and unsheathes his sword. He turns around and sees Roy walking towards him with a melancholy face on. Link sighs and sheathes his sword. Roy finally says, "It looks bad doesn't it?" Link sighs, "Yeah. I hope Shana's okay." "Me too. Her friend's worried too." "Shashana?" "Yep. As soon as she heard the news she burst into tears. The only problem is that she's powerless. She can only see through portholes and try to see what Shana's doing in Zemon. But she can't find her at all. She sent me here to help find her. And I found you, Link. So what's you're story, bud?" "Kinda like yours, but with lots of animals." Roy laughs. "Well, lets go. I think I know where she is." "Duh, Ganondorf's castle. No, wait... Ganondork's castle." Link laughs. "Let's go dude." "Dude?" "Whatever, come on!" Roy pulls Link's green tunic and takes his hand. Link snaps his fingers and they disappear, leaving the withered corn stalks on the ground behind.
Back at Ashley's house, Link has just come back from a ride on his horse, Epona. He sees Ashley's Mom, Lisa, running up to him screaming his name. He stops Epona and gets off of her.
