Chapter 19

Two Sides Collide…Literally

Link figured if Chunk were possibly still alive, he would be down in the dungeons, he had never been down in that dreary place, but knew exactly how to get down there and so that's where he led them.

Amazingly, they ran into no one, the whole area around the dungeon entrance was completely deserted. Alexis followed moodily behind Link, she was just a tad bit upset to say the least…

The musty smell of the dungeon immediately overwhelmed them as they stepped down to the lower levels. Alexis began sneezing from all the dust.

"Put a cork in it Alexis!" Link snapped.

"I'm sorry, I can't help---ACHOO!"

Link sighed, he hoped nobody was in hearing range…

Alexis appeared as if about to sneeze again and to her surprise, Link squeezed her nose, backing up the sneeze and muffling the sound. She blinked dizzily. Link rolled his eyes and continued stealthily forward, keeping his wits about him as he listened for extra sounds that did not belong...Alexis' footsteps rang out loudly behind Link, causing him to flinch and he fixed her with a severe glare.

"Sorry…" she whispered, rather loudly at that.

Link bit his lip, this girl just did not know how to be quiet!

She still continued with loud footsteps. link swung around to face her eye to eye with anger written all over his face as he screamed, "Knock it off already!"

All of the annoying noise Alexis had made hadn't attracted any attention whatsoever, Link's shout however was a different story. It had caught the attention of someone hunting…someone searching…none other than the treacherous Malika herself.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Malika had heard the shout all right…Could it have been the boy who had effortlessly slipped through her fingers? Or…the intruders who had gotten past the little welcoming committee set up for them…? The shout had come from below ground, the dungeons, and that was what she intended to find out.

She moved quickly along and practically ran down a different enterance into the dungeons from that of what Alexis and Link had taken.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Link and Alexis heard footsteps coming…they echoed off the walls making it impossible to tell which direction they came from.

"Now look what you've done!" Link snapped.

"I wasn't the one who had to yell now was I?" Alexis retorted.

Link cursed silently under his breath as he dashed along the passageway, looking left and right into the cells, If Chunk were down here, they needed to find him and fast. Once he emerged at the end of the passageway lined with empty cells, he was slightly disappointed, not one cell held any sign of life in it.

He turned around to see if Alexis was coming or not and when he saw she wasn't far behind, he swung back around only to run slap bang into a stunned Malika.

Malika and Link both toppled over to the floor from the sudden impact.

Now was the time Link had been waiting for…would he finally be able to avenge Zelda's death once and for all?
