Knives
Link yelped as the girl rushed forward. She placed the palm of her right hand on the part of the door near the right side of Link's head, and did the same with the left hand, only on the left side.
Link was trapped. He stood, pressed up against the door, shaking, looking to the side, trying to avoid looking at the thing's eyes.
"Go ahead... Let's see you run for the door now!" she taunted.
Link's wide eyes narrowed in anger. He said nothing.
"Oh, there is no escape now, is there? You poor, poor, thing... You're trapped!" the girl said.
She pulled her hands off the door. Then, the creature placed her left hand on Link's chest to ensure that he remained up against the door, while she put her right hand in front of her face to examine the glowing symbol of the triforce upon it.
"You obviously did not expect this, did you? You did not expect that someone else had taken the Triforce of Power... You thought it couldn't be done, didn't you?"
Link remained silent and still, except for his rapid breathing, fast heartbeat, and shivering body. Ok, I guess that means he wasn't standing still, but sort of! Oh, whatever. He wished that the thing would just let him go... He wanted freedom...oh, and maybe a few oreos...
"You came at just the right time, you know... I was planning to take you and Tetra down seperately, so this fits in perfectly with what I had plotted. You really are a fool..."
Link became rigid with anger and frustration.
"Not saying anything, eh?" the creature asked.
"Nope, not a word," Link replied.
"HA! You just said something!" the creature said.
"THAT DIDN'T COUNT!"
"Ok, whatever. Let me finish what I was sayi-"
"I'M TELLING YOU, THAT DIDN'T COUNT!" Link persisted.
In one quick movement, the creature moved her right hand, and placed it on Link's throat. Her grasp tightened. Link choked and coughed, now struggling to breathe.
"Now...I'm going to finish what I was saying," the thing said in a tone so cold you could actually feel the temperature of the room drop... "I took that section of the Triforce away. It was rather simple, mind you. Boy...you are so very oblivious. And you didn't realize that you had let your guard down!"
"What...are you talking...about!" Link sputtered.
"There will always be evil in this world. There will always be someone seeking the power of the Triforce. And you, Link...you and your little girlfriend...will always be in danger!"
Link turned his head to glare directly into the cold gaze of the villain.
"Ok...you can call me stupid...you can call me scared...but you can never, and I mean NEVER call Tetra my GIRLFRIEND!" he hissed.
"Oh, shut up already. I liked it better when you were being quiet!"
"I liked it better when you were being quiet!" Link mimicked in a funny, mocking voice.
The creature's grip on the boy's throat grew very tight, and Link found that breathing was harder than ever. In fact, he couldn't really breathe at all!
The thing narrowed her eyes.
"How dare you mock me!" she hissed.
Link shut his eyes tightly. He was shaking like crazy from fear. The boy focused all his energy on trying to suck in a breath, but for the most part, was unsuccessful. There wasn't much time before he would pass out, for he was already feeling lightheaded...
"Now that I have you where I want you, I think I'll just wait for you to suffocate to death... Then I will take your section of the Triforce, and dispose of your body!"
She leaned her face closer to Link's.
"Oh, and don't worry... Something very similar will happen to your girlfriend..."
After using the last, tiny ounce of strength he had left in an attempt to break free of the creature's choking grasp, Link went limp, his vision grew dark... He was unconcious.
The thing smirked, and whipped out a shadowy, black knife pretty much from out of nowhere. She placed the sharp end gently against Link's neck, but not hard enough to kill him. She merely made a fairly small cut, which began to bleed.
"Good-bye, Link..." she said evilly, pulling the dagger away from her victim, preparing to bring it back to his throat with greater force...
