Chapter Three- The Nightmare

A young woman sat by a roaring fire. She was diligently knitting a pair of socks. Her golden locks fell into her face, so she brushed them away. Her crystal blue eyes would alter from the small crib by her feet to her knitting. Her face so young with smooth pale skin and long pointed ears.

A soft crying was heard from the crib, so she placed the sock on the chair's arm. The woman got up and carefully picked up the small child. The toddlers crying stopped that very moment as the woman smoothed out the fiery red hair on the girl's head. "Shh, Aurora it's ok..." The woman spoke softly, while calming the toddler. She placed Aurora back down and walked over to a small picture on top of the fireplace mantle.

She picked up a small portrait of an older woman than herself. Her soft purple eyes showed a hint of sadness. The woman in the picture had long messy red hair that went to her mid back. Her face showed only kindness as she smiled and her long ears stuck out of her hair making it hard not to notice. She wore a huge purple ball gown with a huge gem around her neck. The young girl shed a single tear, "I miss you mamma..." and a hand softly came upon her shoulder.

"Emily, you know she still watches over us. Put the picture down and don't cry because she told you never to cry because you think she's not there. Remember your mother is an angel now and she's watching over us three." a deep voice said.

Emily turned around to see her father. His blue eyes stared back at hers. His messy blonde hair almost covered his eyes and he stood tall and proud, nearing seven feet in height. He wore but a simple woodman's outfit. "Yes, papa, I know... It's just..."

"Yes you miss her, being there for you... we all do... yet I keep going because I know mourning for her was something she didn't want. Come here..." He wrapped his arms around Emily as she started to cry a bit.

"It's so sad, Aurora won't ever get to know her.. She was an amazing woman.. When ever I look at Aurora I see mamma.."

"We all do; she has your mother's hair and looks.. Maybe she'll get the same loving heart as she did. Emily, promise me you won't die on me whatever you do. I would rather see myself killed than any of you dead."

"Papa, I'll never leave you.. I know you love us both very much and I love you father.. I just miss mom..."
Emily's ears perked up, since she heard something coming from outside. "Papa, I just heard something outside!" Emily rubbed her eyes.

Her father grabbed his axe from the table and slowly crept to the door. Emily stood still not wanting to make a sound. They heard footsteps approaching the door. Her father tightened the grip on his sword as the door slowly. The fog from outside leaked into the small cabin. Emily shrieked as a figure fell onto the floor. Her father closed the door and walked up to the figure. He dropped his axe, seeing its face. He started shaking his head and tears came down his eyes. Emily gasped and tears rolled also from her eyes seeing this person on the floor.

Emily's heart started to beat faster seeing the woman. She was lying unconscious on the wood floor. The woman had pale skin and faded red hair. She was wearing a torn ball gown that was purple. "PAPA! This has to be a nightmare! That's ... it's..."

"Leanne... I saw her die myself, on her bed... What in the name of the goddesses is happening!" He picked up the axe, the woman slowly got up. The two stood in complete shock. The woman's purple eye's looked at both of them. Emily's father walked towards the woman, dropping his axe. "Leanne..."

"PAPA! That's not mother! Mother died!"

"Oh, Shawn.. I missed you so much.. I'm sorry for being gone so long.." Leanne and Shawn got in a close embrace. Emily was completely confused. How was her mother back from the grave and how could her father think that this woman was her?

Leanne smirked as she pulled out a dagger and stabbed Shawn in the stomach. Shawn looked shocked with betrayal. "You're not Leanne..." The woman started laughing. The woman who first looked like Leanne started changing. She now had very pale skin, almost as white as the winter snow. Her eyes were black, dull and had not one emotion showing. Her silver hair, with streaks of white went to the floor and she had a collection of weird tattoos that covered her neck and some parts of the face. She wore a long black robe and a sword was strapped to her side.

Shawn gripped his side and Emily ran to him. "Papa! Are you ok!" Emily turned to the woman standing before them. "Who are you!" She hissed while looking at her father's wound.

The woman just laughed, "Get away from him!" She put her arm down and Emily went flying to the ground. She started to crawl backwards to the crib. Shawn grabbed the axe near his feet trying to ignore all the pain.

"Who... are you!" He snapped.

The woman laughed, "silly me, I forgot my manners. The name is Amon," she smirked, "like it will matter much longer if you don't give me what I want. I came for the girls. Give them to me, and I'll be on my way!"

"Too bad that I'm not going to give them up, you wrench!" Shawn drove the axe into Amon's shoulder. She yelped in pain and fell to the ground.

"You dumb male!" She snapped while she gripped her shoulder. "I'll have to kill you then!"

"Emily, take Aurora and run!" Shawn yelled, as he was being lifted off the ground.

Emily wrapped Aurora in a blanket and carried her out of the back door. Keeping Aurora close to her chest, the teenager ran bare footed into the misty forest. The moon was full, and the howling of wolves could be heard. While avoiding roots and branches, Emily did her best to get as far as possible. She didn't think one moment about what would happen to her father, but only to keep herself and her sister safe.

At the cabin, Shawn was stunned by the magic of Amon. "That damn child of yours! Now I have to go into the forest and fetch her!" Amon ran out of the back door.

Emily was breathing hard from her muscles wanting to not carry any further. She could hear something behind them and she looked back. Amon was far behind but making a good progress and would catch up to them soon. Emily was getting tired and knew she couldn't carry on any longer. She walked over to an empty log and carefully placed Aurora in it. She dug inside her pocket and brought out a huge gem on a necklace. She placed it around Aurora's neck and covered the child's head with the blanket.

"Aurora, remember these words. I have to tell you this, if I don't make it. We all loved you Aurora, every last one of us. Guard anything you love with your life or at any cost. Always have a pure soul and remember that some people in this world are good. I will watch over you with mom, I will always be there for you. I love you Aurora. May your young soul be blessed." Emily started crying as thoughts raced through her head. Is her father alive still? Will she make it? She shook her head, and put her hand on the toddler's head. The child immediately fell asleep. Emily smiled and then quickly returned to Amon.

Amon stopped as she saw the girl approach her. "You're either brave or stupid. You know you're coming right into my hands, young one. Now just come with me and your life will be spared and that also counts for your father and sister."

"I'm not going to go with you.. or at least not without a fight!" Emily went into a simple battle stance. She opened her palms and flames appeared upon them.

"It looks like you have some magic abilities, how interesting. I guess you aren't completely useless after all."

Emily screamed and put her hands together above her head. An inferno surrounded Amon. The evil woman screamed in pain as the flames burnt Amon. She was gripping the left side of her face. Emily looked in shock at the half burned face.
"What have you done to my face, you wretch? My beautiful face! You ruined my perfect face! Die where you stand!" Amon got out her sword and charged at Emily.

Emily stood still, struck with fear. Her heart was beating at a fast rate, as she was about to confront death. "Mommy.. I'm coming to join you.." She softly said, "I'm sorry." Amon drove her blade into Emily's chest. Emily's eyes grew huge and then fell to the ground and blood started gushing out of the wound. Amon pulled out her sword and then wiped it on her cloak. She grabbed Emily's collar and dragged her on the ground back to the cabin.

Shawn was standing a pool of his own blood. He was growing weaker and at the moment he just wanted the suffering to end. He saw Amon walk through the door and she seemed quite pleased with herself. She threw Emily right at Shawn's feet. His blood ran cold, as he bent over. He picked up Emily, "what did you do to her!"

"She destroyed my face, so I killed her!"

"You monster!" Shawn got up to strike Amon with his fist, but she grabbed his wrist.

"Don't tempt me to kill you any slower!" She threw him down to the ground. "What a family of useless mortals.. I'll just go find the other child. Maybe she might cooperate. I might as well leave you here to die and suffer with your dead child." Amon turned and started walking out of the door.

"You whore! Heartless human being! Take me... not her!

Amon faced Shawn, "Stop your whining, old man. She'll die and the same will happen to you." Amon took a dagger and threw it at Shawn. It pierced him in the heart and a split second later he fell to the ground, dead.

"Miserable family! I hope they all burn in Hell!" Amon snapped her fingers and a log in the cabin started to flame. "It's time to find that last child.."

Amon made her way to the spot where she thought Aurora would be. She looked in every log and tree, "Where is she?" Amon was puzzled. Someone stood in the distance and Amon looked quite surprised. "Not you again!"

Aurora shot up gripping her head. Her hair was soaked in sweat, yet she felt cold all over. "What just happened... How did I get here?" She softly said to herself.

Malon walked into the room with a tray of food. When she saw Aurora look at her, Malon dropped the tray and ran into the hall. "She's awake!"

Zelda and Link raced to the bedroom where Malon was already holding Aurora. Malon was crying. Zelda looked over at Aurora and Link looked fairly relieved.

"Aurora, do you remember anything about your dream?" Zelda asked.

"No, I was just asleep." Aurora was a bit puzzled.

"You've been shouting and moving in your sleep for the whole day." Malon pulled Aurora closer to her chest. "You had us so scared!"

"I'm sorry."

"Zelda, do you have any clue why she can't remember anything of her dream?" Link asked, while leaning on the table.

"I can't tell you why. I suggest that you keep a close eye on Aurora. If this happens again, get me as quickly as possible.. Malon could I talk to you?"

"Of course Zelda." Malon and Zelda walked to the hallway outside of the room.

"Would you guys like to come to the castle with Aurora tomorrow?"

"Why of course Zelda... We'd be more than glad to come."

Zelda smiled, "Dameon would love to have a friend like Aurora. He never gets any chances to have friends, since he's in the castle all day. I think they might be good for each other..." Zelda actually had a whole different reason for why the two kids should be friends... "I've stayed here too long. I must get back to the castle! Bye Malon." Zelda waved as she ran down the stairs towards her carriage.

"Bye Zelda..." Malon walked back into the room.

It was nighttime and the three of them were sitting on the couch in the main room. Aurora was playing with her rag doll that she got the other day. Malon and Link watched her with a smile on both of their faces. "It's getting pretty late..." Malon remarked, "Aurora it's bed time.. Come on let's put you to bed."

"I'm not tired. I want to stay here!" Aurora protested.

"So then you don't want to go to the castle tomorrow, right?" Aurora's eyes grew large and she ran up the stairs at top speed. Malon let out a giggle, "kids these days." Malon heard a slight snoring beside her. "Link are you awake?" but Link was sleeping peacefully. Malon got out of his arms, "poor guy.." She kissed him and headed up the stairs.

Link opened his eyes, and to his surprise he saw that there was no one in the room. He couldn't keep his eyes open for much longer so he just fell back into a deep sleep.

Aurora sat on her bed, staring into the night sky. "Aurora.. I love you.." a voice said. "Who's there?" Aurora looked around her, but no one was there. "Go to sleep my child.." Aurora couldn't help but lay back and fall asleep.
