Chapter 3

The Truth About Trust

Chunk wore a green cloak, that he held tightly to him. "I got away…" he said weakly.

"What's wrong?" Alexis asked.

Link walked over to them.

"Nothing…" Chunk replied hurriedly. "Who's he?"

"Link," Link said.

Chunk took a step back, "Link…Have you been with him the whole time, Alexis?"

"Since I escaped…He saved me…" Alexis said, "Why?"

"Nothing…Just resembles some one…" Chunk said picking his words cautiously.

"You're hurt, are you bleeding?" Link asked ignoring his strange behavior.

"No, I'm fine…" his voice came in a weak mumble.

"No, that's a lie." Link said.

"Ok maybe it is, so? I can take care of myself." Chunk growled.

"Chunk! What is your problem?" Alexis asked.

"Why don't you ask your friend," Chunk snapped.

Link realized something, "If you think I'm on her side then you are so far from right! Why would I be? Malika is her name right? She-she killed…Someone close to me…"

"Uh-huh…" Chunk said, he staggered forward; the last of his strength was quickly ebbing away. Link helped support him up, but Chunk jerked away. Which ended as a total mistake, he fell to the ground in a miserable heap.

"Help me carry him." Link said sternly to Alexis.

"Oh crap, he must be hurt badly, why is he so angry with you? Oh I'm so happy he's alive…I hope he's ok…" Alexis babbled on just standing there.

"Alexis!" Link snapped slightly irritated.

"Oh right…Heh heh…"

Together they easily carried Chunk's slender form up to the high area of land and set him gently on the ground. Link unwrapped the cloak from him, he was dressed completely in black, shoes and all.

"We had to steal clothes from them to blend in when we made our escape…" Alexis explained as if reading his mind.

There was a shining sharp object jutting out from his chest. Link knew some ways of healing and it looked like now what he knew would come in handy.

Chunk awoke to a horrible burning in his chest, he opened his eyes only to see nothing but familiar pink eyes right up in his face.

"You're ok!" Alexis exclaimed happily.

He tried to sit up, but pain echoed through his body and he fell backwards.

"You had something stuck in you…So Link gathered up this plant thing and boiled it in water and stuff." A small fire had been built up. "And it healed you up super quick." She explained.

Chunk's head spun, "Link? Who's tha---" he instantly shot up. "Do you honestly trust him! Do you not recognize him?"

"Uh…Yeah I trust him and he not only helped me, but helped y---"

"He's one of her spies---"

You're welcome." Link said coldly walking by them and sitting against the giant tree.

"He didn't mean it---" Alexis began.

"I meant every word…" he muttered.

Link paused before speaking, "If I really meant to bring harm to you, I would have done it by now."

"We'll see…I will trust you…For the time being…" Chunk said simply.

"How can you be like this! He helped me…He saved you! What the heck is your freakin problem?" Alexis whispered harshly to him.

"I have my reasons." Chunk snapped, he allowed himself to lay back upon the ground, he noticed night was coming on.

Alexis shook her head sadly and that was the last Chunk saw before drifting to sleep.

"I think I know why he doesn't trust me…" Link said suddenly.

"Huh…Why?" Alexis asked watching quietly his sad blue eyes.

"It's nothing to worry over, goodnight Alexis." Link slumped over on his side facing away from her. She sat awhile wrapped up in her own thoughts.

Chunk didn't trust him…And she had even had her doubts…She thought of Chunk as an older brother…Maybe she should go with what he believed to be true? Something had to be done about Link then, but what? She eyed Link's sword which laid nearby him. Maybe…
