Chapter 2

Oh My Gosh! He's alive?

Alexis felt more tears coming to her eyes. This was HER fault. No one would ever know how many people died from it. There probably wasn't likely to be any remains of them. She had caused more people to die, first Chunk and now…this…She felt so disgusted with herself. But how had Link known to get them out? She began to feel uneasy.

Could he be…One of her spies?

Link noticed her staring oddly at him, "What?"

"Uh…N-nothing…" she stuttered.

"We should get moving…If the people see us standing here, they'll think we did it. Come on."

Suddenly a tall, muscular boy stood in front of them. He had spiked black hair and the most peculiar silver eyes. A greenish brown cloak hung from his shoulders, he wore a black shirt with black pants, and brown boots. The boy pulled out a long sword.

A chill ran up Alexis' back causing her to shiver. The boy smirked, "I see you remember me, huh?"

"How could I forget, Sotaru." She spat.

"Well the queen wants what is hers back, and she wants your head." Sotaru said, almost laughing.

Link drew his sword, "Hyrule has no queen."

"Yes, the people know nothing yet, but Queen Malika will shortly be known by all. Surely you do not think you can defeat me, you're nothing but a commoner." Sotaru said.

"Let's just see how much a commoner I really am." Link challenged.

Alexis stepped out of the way, worry was etched clearly on her face. "Be careful…" she whispered.

I hope he can handle this…

Sotaru had a triumphant look on his face as if he had already won the battle. Link simply held a calm expression as he stood ready for battle. Sotaru made the first move, he charged at a swift pace, and struck out with his sword. Link almost too easily blocked it, he twisted his sword and Sotaru's sword fell to the ground. Sotaru instantly reached down to grab it, but Link took the opportunity and attacked like lightning. His blade pierced straight through Sotaru's stomach. Sotaru snatched his sword, and staggered back, bleeding heavily.

People had gathered around to watch. A small boy came up and stood next to Alexis. "Ooooo! Cool!" he said.

She glanced nervously around as more people came.

Crap! Gosh, we should be outta here by now.

The battle raged on with loud sword clashes, as Link went hard on the offensive. Sotaru was fighting for his life, and the wound in his stomach bled heavily.

Wow, he's good.

"I'll be back!" Sotaru sneered, and with that, he was gone.

Link grabbed her hand, "Let's go!"

They dashed down the stairs and out to Hyrule Field.

"Where to now?" Link asked.

"Wait, so you're gonna help me still?" Alexis asked.

"I don't see why not…I have nothing to do right now…" Link said slowly. "Obviously someone wants you dead, and if that's the kind of people they are gonna use to get to you, then I can easily protect you…How 'bout Lake Hylia?"

"Works…With me…" Alexis said.

Link pulled out a small blue instrument and played a quick song. Suddenly they were enveloped by a blue light. They reappeared on a platform over the lake, Alexis spun dizzily around, Link held her up.

"How the---What---" she tried to ask.

"Just don't worry about it and go rest." Link said motioning to the area of grass that held a large tree. Alexis slumped on the ground and allowed sleep to come, she was still weak from running away from the castle….

A hand shook her harshly awake, and she felt herself being dragged along the ground. She opened her eyes, and Link was pulling her behind the large tree.

"Stay quiet." He whispered.

"What?" Alexis asked drowsily.

"Someone's here." Link replied bluntly.

Alexis sat up and looked around the tree. Sure enough, someone was slowly making their way up to where they had set up. Their head was down and they were seemingly limping to the uphill area they were on.

What the--?

Alexis' eyes grew big. "Oh my gosh!" she screamed.

"Alexis!" Link snapped.

Alexis ignored him and ran to the boy who looked at her with a painful smile on his face. She ran to him and hugged him tightly, tears coursed freely down her cheeks. The boy stiffened. Link stood and watched them curiously.

"Too tight…" the boy choked out.

Alexis pulled away, "I'm sorry…Chunk…I can't believe you're alive!"
