Yeah! I decided to update a bit early...maybe...I'm gonna' do my best to make this a long chappie. I started this chappie early, sooo... here it is...
Oh, BTW, this time, I've changed points of view, well, just so ya' know what happened somewhere where she's not. If you don't like it...well, tell me...
Oh, heh, again, if you notice, a line in this chappie was a comment from a reviewer. They'll know...
GREEN
Chapter 7:
"Where is she?!" Link said running into the small ranch house, "Where's Green?"
Talon turned towards Link, "She must've ran off again."
"Did you check the corral?" Ingo asked as he put his hands in his pockets.
Link nodded and ran out, "I have to go and look for her, if she comes back..." Link trailed off, aware that that was a very little chance. He mounted his fire-blazed horse, Epona, and galloped off into Hyrule Fields.
In the distance, I could see one end of Hyrule. Rocks each mounted on each other, creating a safe haven for the small village. It would take at least another few hours before I would reach the town, but I had to keep going.
I didn't know if leaving the ranch without notice was the best idea. I did have to stop this "running away" habit, but I didn't know what to do. I needed time to think over everything that was happening.
I was alone, before, but then, I met Link. I saved him from the Re-Dead, and he wanted to pay me back. When the Poe had paralyzed me, Link stayed with me until I revived. When that mysterious sheikah told Link I had to stay with him, I resided in his small house in the forest, until I came to the Temple, and helped him once more. After that, it seemed I had forgotten about being shy. Link had given me that blue ocarina, but I didn't know where it came from, and why he gave it to me. I felt a little lost in what he was doing. I was only tagging along, slowing him down. That was the reason I left. He's the only one I trusted. Trust. I knew he was doing something important, so I should stay out of his way. His critical matter is holding all of Hyrule in his hands.
Epona galloped out of Lon Lon Ranch, her rider full of worry on his face. Epona skidded to a stop on the dewy grass. Link got off Epona, and walked to the young sheikah that stood in front of him.
"Link, you must hurry and find the next sage," Sheik said through a muffled voice, "I know you care about Green, but this is for all of Hyrule...I will watch for her. Now go."
Before Link could say anything else, the sheikah disappeared in a flash of light. Link sighed and mounted Epona. He glanced around him once more, than galloped off towards Zora's Domain.
Hours past and I finally spotted the small, stone bridge that would lead to Kakariko Village. The sun was setting on the horizon. I had been too lost in my thoughts to notice I had gone without eating anything or resting all day. I ran over the bridge and up a set of stairs.
I didn't know where I was welcome to stay. Maybe another night at the ranch would have been better. I spotted a small inn at the corner of my eye. I ran inside and asked if there was room. One bed lay empty, while two others seemed occupied by two ladies. I set my things to the floor and slipped onto the bed and closed my eyes. A second later, I had fallen asleep.
Link couldn't set his mind off of Green as he entered the Water Temple. He didn't know what to do in such a dilemma. After Green had been attacked by the Poe, he only thought he could suggest a safe place for her to stay, and never really see the girl again, but after Sheik appeared and told him she needed to stay, he didn't agree to all of it. When she had saved him from the Phantom, he knew he needed to pay her back. Slowly, he began to care for her; he wanted to treat her like family. He didn't know after defeating the Fire Temple, she would have gone anywhere.
Now, Green had run off again, and he felt responsible for her. As if he was her bigger brother and she was his little sister. He was an orphan, and so was Green. They didn't have blood relatives, but he could still call her his little sister. After all, they both had blonde hair and blue eyes.
His thoughts were pushed away as he noticed a Blue Tektite coming towards him. Link unsheathed his sword and began his journey to defeat the Water Temple.
Morning light poured in through the windows in the small inn. The smell of food filled the air, and I realized where I was once more. I went to one of the unoccupied bathrooms and changed into clean clothing and set the others aside to wash. I soon figured I had picked a dress similar to my old ragged clothing. I too, was green. It reached just under my knees, and a dark, brown, Gerudo pattern ran along the edge of the dress. Under, I wore a white, turtleneck shirt, with sleeves that reached just above my elbow. I fixed my hair and sat at the tables and had breakfast. I gave them 30 rupees for the night, and 20 rupees for the breakfast.
I spent the day wandering the small village. Visiting the shops and shooting galleries. Including the old lady on the other side of the potion shop. I didn't forget to visit the windmill and play the same song that the organ-grinder hated so much.
I grabbed my things and ran outside the windmill. Remembering what I had promised myself to do, I found flowers near a tree and took a few, than ran off to the village graveyard. I found my guardian's tombstomb at the corner of the small graveyard. Vines, and grass had covered the platform, hiding away the writing engraved on it. I placed the flowers onto the grave and stood up.
A few minutes later, I began to smell smoke coming from the village. I ran back, and found all of Kakariko Village in flames. I ran to the well, but remembered it was dry. Before I could back up, an explosion rocked the ground. I fell down on my back, than shook my head. The bucket wheel that held on top of the well, lay broken in pieces on the ground. I covered my mouth and ran to an open, grassy area.
A large, dark, shadow loomed over the hills. It dropped to the ground and slithered towards me. I ran to the side of the village, than glanced back towards the well. Two figures stood. I knew them all too well. One held a sword and shield. The other, unarmed, in blue. The dark, shadow loomed closer towards Link. I gasped and watched as it grabbed Link by the arm and do its best to eliminate him. I shut my eyes tightly. Partly because the smoke stung my eyes, and because I couldn't bear watch this happen to Link.
I ran over to him quickly, making sure that flames didn't start to lick at me as they faded away. The sheikah kneeled over Link and talked in a muffled voice. I ran over to them and sat next to Link, who shook his head. I got up slowly and walked away. I stood near a small pen, and waited. As always, the sheikah took out his harp and began to play. I watched as many villagers stepped in view and observed there burnt homes.
I glanced back towards Link, who was just putting his ocarina away. A few words, a flash of light, and Sheik was gone. Before I began walking, Link turned over to me and smiled. I walked over to him and smiled back.
"Don't run away again," he said with a grin, "I just found you."
I nodded and smiled.
"Will you be my little sister?" Link said.
My eyes opened wide and I bit my lip. A second later, I nodded again, "Than, you'll be my big brother?"
Link nodded, than put on a smile. I came closer, than hugged him by the neck, and he hugged back. I let go and began to talk.
"Umm... you have to do something, now. Don't you?" I said.
"Oh, yeah. I promise I'll be back, soon," he said sadly.
"When you come back," I said with a smirk, "you have to tell me where you got that blue ocarina you gave me."
Link grinned and shook his head.
After Link ran off towards the Temple of Time, I noticed the sun was already beginning to set. I walked towards the small inn I had stayed in the night before. I gave the money early and dropped down on the same bed and fell asleep.
Footsteps. I turned around. A boy in green ran past me where I stood. He climbed down a well and I followed. I reached the well. It reached just above my waist. Before, it had reached just above my knees. I looked at my hands. I was shorter, and smaller. I could tell, I was three, once more. The only difference is, I'm much smarter.
I shook my head and climbed down the ladder. I watched the boy closely. He looked familiar, but I couldn't tell. I stayed close to the boy. Once inside, through a hallway, and down a ladder, a strong stench arose. I didn't want to think of what it could be. I took a deep breath and plugged my nose.
Minutes past and I grew tired, but I followed. Only when I stepped out of the well, did I take time to realize who this was. A fairy bobbed out of the boy's hat.
"Link," it said, "hurry. We don't have much time."
I rolled my eyes and smiled. I only saw the back of the older boy's head as he explored the dungeon. Many times I wanted to help him as he struggled through defeating many enemies, but every time I tried, my hand went right through everything. I rubbed my forehead, as I began to grow dizzy.
I gasped and stood up out of bed. I stared out through a far window, and realized it was still dark out. I glanced about the room. The two ladies snored where they slept. The smell of dinner still lingered in the air. I dropped back down onto the bed, but kept my eyes open. Afraid to have another dream.
I couldn't tell of what had happened in this recent dream. I never, in my life ever been able to control what I wanted to do, say, think, touch, or even smell and see. It was like I was there. It didn't seem as though it ever occurred in my real life.
As I was thinking, I didn't realize my eyes had closed, and I began to doze off once more.
YEAH!!! Another chappie done. Sheesh! I spent all week trying to get this chapter to 5 pages, but, eh... Oh yeah...
People, what's your take at what happens at the end of Oot? Does everyone remember the 7 years, or only the sages, Zelda and Link? Or does just plain no one remembers? That he just disappeared soon after he came to the castle. Because, at the end, you see everybody dancing and bein' happy in Lon Lon Ranch. Then, on MM, Link remembers that Zelda teaches him the Song of Time, and says that they've only known eachother for a little while, but it's like we've been friends forever. So, I'm confused. I want your ppls take so...
It's time to review!!! Yeah!!! Have fun w/ it :P
