Link: -.-;;;;;;;;;
Yeah. . . Anyway, here's the next chapter. (falls asleep)
Soul-Touchers: Chapter 6: Struggle in the Castle
Florence ran and ran as fast as she could with Kili close behind. As Florence began to scramble up a tree, Kili decided to begin an important discussion despite their current situation.
"Florence. . . Wh-what was all that back there?"
The Hylian youth didn't answer until she reached the top of the tree, panting. "Listen, I'm sorry about that. . . I just got so mad. . ."
"I never knew you had such a temper, though. . .Uh, oh, here they come!"
They looked down to see the guards surrounding the tree from below. Florence stood on a sturdy branch and prepared to leap to the next tree over.
"I never knew I did either. . .Hup!" She pushed off with much strength and landed in the next tree over. The guards shouted in frustration and rushed to the new tree.
"I'm not that surprised, though," Kili continued, following Florence as she jumped from tree to tree, getting closer to the castle. "From what Navi told us, your father wasn't very pleasant when angered either!"
"He still isn't!. . . Hup!. . . Trust me, I've seen him. . .Hah!. . . The point is. . .Hup!. . . I don't usually get that angry. . .Hah!. . . Unless someone. . .Hup!. . . pushes it too far!. . . HAH!" she said in between leaps.
"Well, that doesn't really matter to me. I just wanted to kno-WOAH!!" Kili exclaimed as Florence jumped from the last tree onto a thin windowsill of the castle without even losing her balance. "That was amazing!"
"Thanks," said Florence, opening the window and climbing inside. She then continued her run down the hall.
"Anyway, I just wanted to know why it happened, that's all. I personally don't care how you act, I'll follow you anywhere!"
"Oh, Kili. . .pant. . .thank you!" panted Florence while she ran. "You're the. . . gasp. . . best friend ever!"
"I'm glad to be your friend, Florence. I think it's safe, so you can stop running now."
At that moment, Florence was safely in her bedroom, so she sighed in relief and collapsed onto her bed in exhaustion. Gasping and wheezing, she appreciated the short rest she was getting. Kili settled on the bed heading and looked down at Florence in concern.
"Are you alright? You're pushing yourself so far. . ."
"No. . ." Florence moaned breathlessly. "I can't. . . get caught. . .not now. . ."
As Florence rested, Kili spotted a small sword and shield on a small table. She flew over and with all her strength, the tiny fairy picked them up and carried them over to the bed.
"Are these yours? You'll need a weapon for sure."
"Yes, thank you," Florence reached up and gratefully took the weapons, strapping them on. Suddenly, both heard voices coming down the halls and getting closer.
"The guards!" Kili gasped. "They're here!"
"Hide!" Florence whispered harshly, dashing underneath the bed with Kili in tow. When the bed sheets settled, the soldiers slammed the door open.
"Move out of the way!" shouted Impa, breaking through the crowd in the door. "Is she in here?"
"Doesn't look like it, ma'am. But we saw her enter the castle from the window!"
"Then seal off all doors and windows!" Impa ordered. "We cannot afford to lose her again!"
After locking the windows, the guards quickly ran out of the room with Impa close behind. When all was quiet, Florence and Kili poked their heads out from under the bed to make sure it was safe.
"Well, this is great!" said Kili, annoyed. "How do we get out now!?"
"Don't worry about that," replied Florence, crawling out from under the bed. "We can figure that out later. Right now, let's head to my Mom and Dad's room to search for clues."
"Right!" And with that, they rushed through the halls, evading the guards, and quickly came to her parents' bedroom. They hastily started their search, but after a short while, they could find nothing of extreme importance.
"Find anything?" Florence asked Kili, who was searching through a closet.
Emerging from the pile of clothes, Kili sighed. "Nothing."
Florence sighed in frustration and flopped onto the bed. "There's absolutely no trace of who did it anywhere! Why isn't there-!?"
Both stopped and stood tense as they heard voices in the halls.
"Oh, Deku Nuts! Not those guards again!" cried Kili.
"Keep the door closed!" Florence ordered as she approached the nearest window. She tried to open it, but. . . "Curses! Locked!"
"Well, what now!? We'll be caught for sure!"
"NO!" Florence screamed. "I'll be sitting in Death Mountain without a Goron Tunic before I let those stupid guards catch me!" She rushed into the closet, brought out a bomb from Link's Bomb Bag, and placed it on the windowsill. Kili stared at the round object oddly.
"Is that a. . .?"
"Stand back!"
----------
Outside the castle, a few lazy guards patrolled the front gate. All was quiet, until suddenly, an explosion boomed from a high window. The guards, surprised, drew their spears and stared at the small blasts of fire. From within the dwindling fires, a figure leaped out of the window and dived into the moat with a tiny, flying figure following.
"That was Florence!" one of them realized. "Let's get her!"
After Florence climbed out of the moat, she was quickly surrounded by many soldiers who felt it unnecessary to draw their spears. After all, she was just a child! How could she get away now?
"Give yourself up, Florence!" one of them ordered. "We can't keep chasing you! Just surrender, and we'll take you somewhere safe!"
Florence didn't answer. She scowled dangerously at them with enough fury in her eyes to frighten them. "I'll surrender. . ." she growled, slowly pulling out her sword. ". . . when FIRE KEESE HAVE PICKED MY BONES!!!!"
The guards shouted in surprise as she swung Petal Blade threateningly. She tried her best to look as frightening as possible, yet not hurt anyone. Pushing one if them aside, she ran out of the enclosed circle and away from the castle as fast as she could.
"AFTER HER!!"
Florence heard the command, but didn't dare to look back. "Are you still with me, Kili?"
"Right behind you!"
The Hylian let out a smile of relief, but it quickly faded as she saw the Little Stingers' Chief standing at the entrance of the town.
"Not you again!" she cried.
Chief held her back. "No, you don't understand! We Little Stingers admire your bravery, so we're gonna help you escape! Come with me!"
Neither Florence nor Kili had the chance to question this sudden change of heart, as Chief pulled Florence along by the arm. They stopped right at the entrance and hid behind a few crates.
"Don't worry, we'll make sure you get out safe. Just watch!" he snickered, pointing up to the rooftops.
Florence squinted against the sun and could see Rolf and Stella, each with a bag over their shoulders. On Chief's signal, they turned the bags over and dumped the contents out all over the town. Everyone (especially the women) screamed as green, warty frogs seemed to fall from the sky. As the squealing and bewildered crowd writhed in panic, the five unsuspected children and fairy giggled at the squirming adults.
"Hurry, let's go!" Chief lead Florence through the chaotic crowd. Rolf and Stella jumped down and followed the small band, and they all went unnoticed.
"What happens when we leave the crowd!?" cried Florence. "The guards will catch up!"
Chief smirked. "Not if we close the doors behind you!" He looked back at his group. "Little Stingers, follow me!"
Florence continued to run with Kili behind. Soon, Kili decided, "I'm gonna go help them! I'll meet you outside!"
Florence nodded, and the fearless pixie flew in the direction the Little Stingers had run. The path led to a latter that went up the side of the main drawbridge. Up this latter, Kili found the bullies harassing two guards stationed there. Rolf and Stella punched and kicked the one nearest to the pulley that would bring the drawbridge up, and Chief distracted the other one with punches and kicks of his own.
As Kili helped with the distraction, Chief quickly noticed her and said, "Hey, fairy, got a question for you."
"Yeah?"
"What's Florence doing all this running for?" he asked as he got the poor soldier into a headlock. "She's gotta have a reason for causing so much trouble!"
"Well, if you must know, she's trying to save her parents from what she says is some kind of evil. She's trying to find clues, but the adults keep trying to stop her, saying it's too dangerous."
"Hmmp! Stupid adults!" He bopped the guard in the head hard. "Think they know everything and think us kids can't do nothing!"
Kili didn't whole-heartedly agree with that, as she figured not ALL adults had to be like that. But she stayed quiet.
Soon, both guards were knocked unconscious, and the three kids grabbed and pulled the pulley, lifting the drawbridge.
----------
Florence never stopped running for fear of letting the soldiers catch up with her. She looked ahead to see that she was almost there. But as she got closer she realized that the drawbridge was slowly going up. However, she expedited her pace and ran across the wood as it went up. She leaped across to the grass of Hyrule Field and looked back as the gate completely closed.
Kili flew down from above the wall, and the Little Stingers climbed over each other and waved and cheered. Florence waved back, and left the castle area.
