You will get to meet Bambi in the next chapter. She's my first madeup character, so when you review chapter 6, which will be called Bambi, tell me what you think of her.

What Darkness Left Behind

Just as she was about to bring it back to his throat in a fatal blow, the door flew open with great force! And unfortunately for the villain, she and Link were up against the door.

The knife flew out of her hand and clattered across Tetra's bedroom floor. The creature fell backward and skidded a little. The unconcious form of Link fell and slid forward a bit too, then stopped, laying on the floor; still. Tetra stood in the doorway.

"What's with all the racket? Link, what the hell are you -- oh, shit..." she started, but stopped when she saw the destruction done to her bedroom.

The pirate captain gaped at the horrible sight, not even noticing Link or the intruder. She threw herself onto the ground and started to yell.

"MY ROOOOOOM! IT'S ALL FUCKED UP! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" she screamed.

A moment later, the rest of her crew barged in. They gaped at the sight of their captain's destroyed bedroom. All of a sudden, a short pirate named Zuko started laughing. Tetra looked up, pulled a ninja star out of her pocket, and threw it at Zuko's head. Unfortunately for the lower ranking pirate, she had good aim. It landed right in between his eyes, and he died. The corpse fell backward, and when it hit the floor, the head popped off and bounced away.

Everyone watched the scene for a moment, then the pirate crew went back to gaping at the room while Tetra started throwing a fit again.

Across the room, still stunned and dazed, sat the creature who had nearly ended Link's miserable life. She had propped herself up with her hands, and was staring at Tetra with wide eyes.

At last, the captain looked up and noticed her.

The two girls stared at eachother in surprise for a moment, then Tetra narrowed her eyes.

"You...you...you THING! YOU DID THIS, DIDN'T YOU?" she shouted.

The creature narrowed her own eyes, picked up her knife, and, knowing she didn't stand a chance against the pirate with all her goonies around, disappeared into thin air. Tetra jumped to her feet and went to the spot where the thing had been.

"Eh!"

She looked around, wondering where it was, and how it had disappeared. Unable to find an answer, Tetra shrugged.

"Oh, well. C'mon, boys, it's dinner time!" she said to her crew as she prepared to leave the room.

The other pirates were about to follow, when Nudge (Another pirate.) pointed to Link, who was still passed out on the floor.

"Miss Tetra, what about Poodle?" he asked.

Tetra looked down at the boy on her floor.

"Oh...him. Um...oh, I dunno!" she said irritably. "Do what you want with him! Meanwhile, I'm starving over here!" And with that, the captain left the room.

The rest of the crew started to follow as Nudge grabbed Link by the arm and dragged him across the floor and out the door.

Some time later, Link's eyes slowly opened. It took him a moment to sort out his thoughts and regain the feeling in his body, but after a few seconds, he finally did. When he regained feeling in his body, he realized that he was laying in a cot...Zuko's cot.

Link sat up as he let out a small moan.

"Well, look who's awake," a voice said.

Link's head shot up as he looked at the voice's owner. It was none other than Tetra.

"Tetra...? W-what are you doing here...? Why am I in Zuko's cot, and...what happened...?" Link asked.

Then he remembered: That thing...she choked him!

"I'm here because I was waiting for you to wake up. You're in Zuko's cot because Zuko's dead, and I don't really know what happened. I just ran into my bedroom, there was some thing, and you were unconcious on the floor."

"I remember now! There was that thing rummaging through your bedroom, and she saw me, and it was like...freaky... She started going on and on about shit, but I wasn't really listening. But she does have the Triforce of Power..."

Tetra stood in shocked silence.

Link continued on. "But man, Tetra, where do you get all those sex toys and lingerie things? They were all over everywhere! You are such a whore, you know, and-"

"Link, did you say that that thing had the Triforce of Power? Are you...sure?"

Link nodded. "Yeah, I'm sure. So, like I was saying, you have way too many sex toys. And you obviously take weekly trips to Victoria's Secret."

"The Triforce of Power..." Tetra muttered, staring off into space.

"HEY! ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME? I SAID YOU WERE A WHORE!" Link barked.

Tetra's head snapped up and she stared hard at Link.

"Link, I knew you were stupid, but honestly! We are talking about the Triforce of Power, here! And, once again, it's in the hands of evil! Evil, dammit! Do you know what this means? We're in danger, Link! We might die! And another thing -- I thought the Triforce pieces went away!" she said as she stared in shock at the Triforce of Wisdom, which had mysteriously returned to her.

Link was silent for a moment as he looked down at the Triforce of Courage, which he hadn't even realized had returned to him, even though there had just been an encounter with it.

"So?"

"Link, that thing must've been trying to kill you, and you don't seem to mind!"

Link listened to Tetra for a moment, then his eyes widened.

"Ok...why do you sound concerned about my well-being?"

"Concerned? HA! Like I would be concerned! I'm just surprised that you aren't bothered by all of this!"

"I am bothered! I just think your unhealthy amount of sex play items is something that's more important to address!"

"Link, you had better get over it, or else -- what the hell?" Tetra started, but stopped when her eyes fell upon the place where the creature had cut Link's neck a bit.

Instead of a wound, there was a tattoe of an eye...

"What?" Link asked.

Tetra walked over to Link and examined his neck.

"What is that?"

"What's what?"

"Link, you have a tattoey thing on your neck!"

"I do? But I never got a tattoe on my neck! Yeah, I have a tattoe, but it's on my...nevermind..."

Tetra poked it.

"Hey, don't poke it!" Link growled.

Tetra smirked and poked it again.

"Stop that!" Link said, pushing her hand away.

Tetra slapped Link. Link pushed her. In a moment, the two were wrestling on the floor.

Mako walked in. He stared at Link and Tetra on the floor.

"Um, I hope I didn't interrupt anything, like, you know...PERVERTED..." he said.

Tetra looked up at him.

"Um...no, we were just making an agreement. Right, Link?"

"No, we were duking it out. I was so kicking your a-"

"RIGHT, LINK?" Tetra said through clenched teeth, glaring at Link.

"Um, yeah, yeah! What she said!" Link told Mako.

Tetra turned back to Mako.

"So...what do you want?"

Mako shifted uncomfortably under his captain's glare.

"Um...Miss Tetra, the guys and I just found out that Windfall Island just got a ton of money, or something like that. Should we set sail for Windfall Island then?"

Tetra thought for a moment.

"How much money, you say?"

"A whole lot of money."

"Very well! Set sail for Windfall!"

Mako saluted, then he noticed the symbol on Link's neck.

"Hey, Link, kick ass tattoe! I have one, too! It's on my...nevermind."

Mako turned and left the room.

"You mean my tattoe placement idea isn't original? I thought no one would think of putting a tattoe there!" Link said.

Tetra walked to the deck.

"Get a good night's rest, boys! Tomorrow, we set sail for Windfall!" she barked.

Link listened. Something in the pit of his stomach told him that something bad was going to happen... Something really bad...
