Chapter 5

The Hunt is on…

After a while, Link had gone for food and to supposedly be alone for a little while as well. It was just the two friends and they sat there in a thoughtful silence.

"He said he lost someone by Malika's hand…Who do you think she killed to make him seem so sad all the time?" Alexis pondered aloud breaking the silence.

"Apparently someone close to him like he said she killed…If you're really interested why not ask him?" Chunk smirked. "But then again, why are you so interested?"

"No reason." She said hurriedly. "Besides, if I did ask him, he'd get all moody and---WATCH OUT!"

Chunk rolled to the side just as a sword descended where he had been a moment ago…An arm came around Alexis' neck and began strangling her.

"So where's your friend, the one that beat the now deceased Sotaru?" a boy smirked. He was obviously one of Malika's servants because he was dressed in complete black.

Chunk heard Alexis whimper and jumped up and tackled into the girl, also dressed in black, who was strangling her. They both went rolling into the clear icy water of Lake Hylia. Alexis sat there stunned and taking in deep breaths now that she could finally breathe again. The boy came towards her and she slid back on the ground. He only laughed and walked closer to her. Her hand came in contact with an area of loose dirt and when he was just the sword's length away, she flung it hard into his eyes. He dropped his sword as he raised his hands to wipe the stinging dirt from his eyes.

Alexis snatched up the sword and with her eyes shut, rammed it through his chest. He had cleared most of he dirt from his eyes and when the blade pierced his skin, his face held a look of total surprise and he collapsed…Dead.

She had killed a human being for the first time…but she had lived on the streets before and seen death…It was better him than her anyways.

Chunk came climbing up the slope drenching wet and grabbed her hand. "We gotta go now!"

The girl he had tackled was climbing up the slope after him. "What about Link?"Alexis asked.

"He'll understand and I bet more will come so come on!"

He dragged her behind as they took off as fast as their legs would allow them to. Alexis heard more noise behind them and chanced a quick glance back, a whole pack of stalfos had appeared and they chased after them, led by the girl.

They ran out into Hyrule Field , the gap being closed behind them…

Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, Link appeared in front of them atop a red horse. He stared at what was after them and signaled for them to get on.

Chunk picked Alexis easily up by the waist and set her on the horse behind Link, then he jumped on right behind her.

As soon as he was on, Link kicked the horse's sides and they shot off like an arrow, leaving a huge dust cloud in their tracks.

The group chasing them had come to an abrupt halt.

"It will be easy to follow their tracks and that's what we'll do, we'll catch 'em by surprise come nightfall. You all should know which one of them we need prisoner, the other two can be disposed of as we please. Move out we must not fail the queen." The girl commanded the stalfos.

Without a word out of the monstrous creatures, they set out at a steady pace.

The girl knew well of Sotaru's fate and she was going to be sure no matter how long it took, that that fate would not be hers…The hunt was on…
