Kikyo's Killer's note: Not that it matters, but as I type this it's snowing! For those of you who live in Michigan and New Jersey and another place that snows a lot, it's probably not a big deal, but I live in Texas and it rarely snows here! It snows like once or twice a year and a lot of times it doesn't snow at all. So, Yippee! It's snowing!
Link and Zack rode on Epona toward the Ike territory. They had just gotten through giving Mikau Lulu's note and locket. (I'm not going to describe it because I'm lazy and I can't think of something. Sorry! ) Anyway, Zack was a little nervous about the dead people thing. He was afraid zombies would come out of nowhere and attack them. Link assured him that the only way dead people would come out and attack them was if one of them were to wear Garo's Mask… or if the music box thing wasn't working… or if it was night. Needless to say that only made things worse.
"Zack, let go of the fence!" Link demanded as he tried to pry Zack off of the fence.
Zack still didn't let go. "I'm not letting go! If I let go dead people will attack me!"
"First you're afraid of bugs and now dead people! What's next, soup?!" Tatl asked.
Link let go of Zack's ankles. "Fine, stay here all by yourself and get attacked by a zombie, but I'm going to save the next maiden."
Link started to walk away, but all of sudden found Zack on his ankle. "D-don't leave me! I don't want to be attacked by a zombie!" Zack begged. His voice was a little whiny.
Link sighed. "It's getting dark anyway. Why don't we stay here for the night?"
"Y-you mean here, in this graveyard?" Link nod yes. "How about Anju's inn or maybe outside Ike?!"
Link shook his head no. "It would take too long, and poor Epona is tired as it from carrying us."
"Well it's not my fault that you have to bring all your equipment where ever you go." Zack said under his breath.
"What did you say?" Link asked.
"N-nothing!" Zack covered.
Link set up a campfire and everyone sat around it. "Zack, dead people aren't that bad. One of my best friends is Keaton the spirit fox." Link tried to calm down the terrified teen.
It didn't work. "Link, Keaton doesn't attack innocent people. He plays with children and asks riddles." Zack informed him.
"Yeah… that's true." Link threw a twig into the fire. "How about Captain Keeta?!"
"Link, he nearly killed you." Tatl answered.
"Oh, I forgot about that." After a moment Link snapped his fingers. "How about that Flat Brother Ghost, he seemed kind of nice?"
"Yeah, but his brother dried up the lake." Tatl argued.
"So basically for every good ghost there's a bad." Navi said.
Zack started to feel at ease with the dead. "Yeah, but the good news is that they're not all bad.
Link shrugged. "Yeah, but a lot have a grudge against the living."
"Who could blame them? They are limited by night only. They can't go outside into the light or they would be… can the dead be killed?" Tatl asked no one unparticular.
"How can the dead be killed when they're already dead?" Zack asked.
They continued with the question of "can the dead be killed?" until early morning. Even then they didn't get an answer. So they decided to ask the expert on the living dead Pamela's father. (The guy who was cursed in the game) They arrived around 8:00 am. Link knocked on the door a couple of times… no answer. He knocked again… no answer. He banged his fist against the door and called for help. The door flew opened and a man with a cross came running out.
"Don't worry children I'll save you from the foul creatures!" The man readied to attack. "You will not take these innocent children like you took my daughter!" The man looked around and found no creatures of the living dead. "Where are the monsters?"
Link gave a nervous laugh and scratched the back of his head "Uh… they disappeared when you came to save us."
The man looked furious. "My daughter goes missing and you send me on a wild goose chase! I have to find a way into the castle before they do anything to my daughter!"
The man went back inside and slammed the door closed. Link turned to his friends. "Do you think Pamela is the next maiden?"
"Well lets see, she gets kidnapped and her father is trying to find her… what do you think?!" Zack asked sarcastically.
Link turned back to the door and knocked again… no reply. "Sir, we may know where your daughter is."
The door opened slightly. "I know where she is. She's in that horrid castle over there." He pointed to the Ike castle.
"Please sir, there's something we need to talk to you about." Link pleaded.
Pamela's father opened the door. "You better not try anything."
Link and the others walked inside and sat around the table. Pamela's father soon joined them. "Sir, your daughter wasn't taken by the Skulls, she was taken by a man named Ganondorf." Zack said gloomy.
Pamela's father banged his hands on the table and jumped up. "What are you talking about?! I saw with my own eyes the Skulls taking my daughter into their castle!" He fell onto his chair and put his head in his hands. They said that they were going to use her as an exchange."
"An exchange?" Navi asked.
"They are going to give my daughter to someone in exchange for the ability to go into the light of day." Pamela's father had tears in his eyes. "Who would I want my sweet innocent daughter?"
"Ganon!" The four of them answered at the same time.
"Don't worry Pamela's dad we'll save Pamela!" Tatl assured her.
Pamela's father's face brightened up. "You mean you will bring her back to me?!"
"No, but we'll save her!" Tatl said.
Zack hit his head. "Sir, your daughter won't be able to stay here, but she'll be able to see you before she has to leave."
Pamela's father frowned. "Well at least that's better than her being in the hands of those filthy scoundrels!"
Link and the others said good-bye and left to go to the castle. When Pamela's father was sure that they left her started to laugh manically. "Sir, is the trap set?" A voice came from a shadow in the room.
Pamela's father turned to the shadow. "Yes, now it's your part of the deal."
The anonymous person bowed. "I will do my best, sir."
After the voice disappeared Pamela's father started to laugh manically again.
To be continued…
Kikyo's Killer's note: I love cliffhangers, don't you?! Well to avoid an angry mob I'll try to update this soon… that's if you review.
To FFlove190: I'll let you beat Cloud near death, but not all the way. I still like him… but I still like torturing him also.
To RuRu: Yay, dead people! In the next chapter they'll be in a whole castle full of dead people! Yay!
To Nysoku: I'm trying to keep this from becoming random filled like my other story. I want there to be serious parts in the story and not all just comedy, but if I'm slacking off in the comedy tell me and I'll do my best to bring it back up.
To Devil Seifer: You have two replies since you reviewed twice. Reply #1: I like cliffhangers. They're really fun to do and it's fun to see how people react to them.
To Devil Seifer: Reply #2: I love Invader Zim! My favorite characters are Gir, Gaz, Dib, and Zim. They're all so funny!
