It's finally out! Hooray! Sorry it took so long...

Anyway, I would like to dedicate this chapter to my boyfriend Dylan! You rock, babe!

And review, peeps!

The Mad Woman

Link and Tetra stared at Ruto, unmoving.

"LAY...OFF...BITCH!" Ruto repeated, grabbing an empty bottle out of nowhere, holding it by the neck and smashing the bottom on the wall.

"KYAAAAAAA!" screamed the Zora princess as she ran at the two youths.

Link pulled Tetra out of the way. Tetra began to speak very quickly.

"Link, I'm sorry for the way I've been attacking you! Bambi's been controlling me, and she's got Saria and Darunia with her! Aryll's still there, too. Anyway, she's trying to see if she can use Saria and Darunia to her advantage, so please, watch out, I don't know what she's capable of! I don't think she knows I'm gone yet, so I better leave."

Ruto let out a yell and kept running at them.

"Leave? Where, how? We're locked in! Did that freaky guy in the dark send you down here, too?" Link asked.

"Huh? What freaky guy in the dark?"

Ruto screamed and ran into the wall. Then she straightened out her directions and went for Link and Tetra again, who kept moving so as to avoid her attacks.

"You haven't talked to some person with no visible body and red eyes?" Link shouted over Ruto's screaming.

"No, I haven't!" Tetra replied.

"Well, whatever! How are you going to get out? Can I come with you?"

"I'm afraid you can't come with me, but since you asked, I'll tell you that there's a secret passage that's revealed when you push that torch! But don't use it, it leads straight to Bambi's lair!" The pirate girl jerked her head to the northeastern torch.

"Woah, that's freaky shit!" Link commented.

"Yeah, totally! Listen, I REALLY have to go, Bambi could find out in mere seconds, I'm already doomed, I'm sure! I just gotta tell you, Link, I...lo..."

"Tetra?"

"Grrrrr..." growling like an animal, Tetra regained the eerily zombie-like look in her eyes, and balled up her fists.

"Fuck!" Link cursed, as Tetra, too, attacked him.

"DAMMIT, I HATE WOMEN!" he screamed, dashing around the room to avoid Ruto and Tetra's attacks.

"DAMN YOU! YOUR NAME ISN'T LARS AFTER ALL, IT'S LINK! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! I KNEW YOU LOOKED LIKE HIM! THE MAN I FELL IN LOVE WITH THOSE MANY YEARS AGO! THE ONE WHO I PLEDGED MY LOVE TO, SWORE ENGAGEMENT TO! AND YA KNOW WHAT! HE WENT AND SLEPT WITH EVERYONE IN HYRULE! EXCEPT ME! HE EVEN SLEPT WITH MY FATHER! BECAUSE OF HIS HABITS, HE WOUND UP WITH AT LEAST 50 BASTARD CHILDREN! AND YA KNOW WHAT? ONE OF THEM WAS MY FATHER'S!" Ruto cried.

"Ew..." Link muttered, wondering how that was possible.

"AND YA KNOW WHAT I HAD TO DO TO GET CHILDREN 'CAUSE NO ONE WOULD GIVE ME LOVIN'!"

"Umm, I really don't want to kn--"

"I HAD TO GO TO THE SPERM BANK!"

"Ok, ok, I GET IT!"

Link dodged Tetra again.

"Oh, goddesses, I'm gonna die here..." he said to himself.

Suddenly, the wall exploded, and in burst Komali and the king!

"Link! There you are! Why didn't you follow us?" Komali asked.

"Because you wanted to go to the right!" Link whined.

"Yeah, well, look what you got yourself into by going to the left!" Daphness snapped.

"IT WASN'T MY FAULT, SOME FREAKY GHOST-SHADOW-MONSTER-WHATEVER MADE ME FALL DOWN HERE!" Link bellowed.

"Yeah, but that wouldn't have happened if you hadn't taken the left," Komali stated.

"Whatever! Just help me, dammit!"

Daphness let out an exasperated sigh and brandished a tranquilizer gun seemingly from thin air. Firing it once, he hit Ruto. She went down. A second shot ensured that Tetra wasn't a problem for the time being.

Link looked at Tetra sadly.

"She managed to talk to me as herself before turning into a wild animal..." he said quietly.

"I thought you liked her acting like a wild animal," said Komali.

Link turned to the Rito sharply.

"Huh?"

"Well, when I met you guys on the beach, you seemed to really like it, if ya know what I mean..."

"Look, bitch, I'll kick your ass!" Link snapped.

"Stop it, or I'll kick both of your asses! Now come on, let's tie Ruto up and get out of here. I didn't get very good tranquilizers, they don't last long, you see..." said Daphness, getting some rope from thin air and tying it into a leash around Ruto's ankles. Off they went, dragging the Zora queen behind them, leaving Tetra quite still and alone on the cold floor.

Tetra awoke feeling groggy.

"Uhn..." She looked around the room. Her only company was the large hole in the wall where Komali and the king had broken in.

Tetra heard the sound of someone landing gently on the ground behind her, followed by a "tsk, tsk, tsk".

The newcomer said, "That was quite the foolhardy move, young lady... Your mistress is, I am certain, most displeased with you, most displeased indeed..."

Surprised, Tetra turned sharply to face the voice's owner. She was stunned by the boy she saw. He was a peculiar sight to behold...

He grabbed her roughly by the arm and pulled her to her feet.

"Hey, don't touch me!" Tetra snapped, slapping at him.

"Oh, don't be that way..." sneered the boy.

Said he, "Now, I feel it as my duty to escort you back to where you should be. Let us go."

They both vanished.

"My broken heart...oooohhhh, my broken heart..." sobbed Ruto, tears flowing from her mismatched eyes as she was dragged along through the temple.

"Shut up, dammit! No one fucking cares! JEEZ!" growled Daphness, thoroughly annoyed.

Link killed off another water monster using the dagger that he had been given to by Tetra.

"God, this temple seems to go on forever..." sighed Komali. "This is bad...and we know we're not alone in here, what with the attack from Tetra and that creature person that got to you..." Komali looked at Link.

Link had told them his story, and they all agreed to be alert. None of them were sure what had harassed Link back in the left room, but everyone knew it most likely was not very kind or pleasant.

And whatever it is is still around... Link thought, I...I feel like I'm being watched...

Unexpectedly, Link heard a voice in his head say, Oh, you are, my friend! And it wasn't the usual voices he heard. This one had the same voice as the creature he had met with previously.

Link gasped and brought his hands to his head.

"What's your deal, asshole?" Daphnesss asked, looking at Link warily.

"Guys, that thing really is still around! It just talked to me THROUGH MY HEAD!"

Komali and the king exchanged looks as Ruto wailed on and on about her many misfortunes, all of which concerned the Link from many, many years ago.

"Umm...of course..." Komali muttered, shaking his head subtly and continuing on.

No one noticed the red eyes watching them from the darkness above.

"God dammit, give me the key! Fuck -- GIVE ME THE KEY!" Link shrieked, kicking the Big Key treasure chest. Finally, it popped open. With an angry little huff, Link snatched it up.

"Now," he said, "which way to the boss room?"

"It's to the left..." Komali said darkly, jerking his head towards the boss room which stood right next to them.

"Oh, stop being such a fag, Komali, there is nothing wrong with the direction left!" snapped Link, angrily forcing the key into its hole and turning it.

The four companions entered a seemingly calm room. It was medium in size, filled entirely with water with the exception of platforms, and quite square.

"There doesen't seem to be anything in here..." Link said quietly.

Things were a little too silent, however. Even Ruto had stopped raving.

"IS ANYONE IN HERE?" Link called.

"Ssh, ssh!" Komali hissed desperately, waving his hands in front of Link's face.

"Stop it!" the prince whispered loudly. "If there is something in here, we don't want to draw its attention, now do we?"

"WELL, HOW ARE WE GOING TO SLAY IT AND GET THE FUCKING MEDALLION IF WE CAN'T FIND IT?" Link yelled.

"KEEP YOUR GOD DAMN VOICE DOWN!" Komali shouted back.

"Stop it, you mother fuckers!" Daphness barked.

"WELL, IF LINK WOULD JUST LOWER HIS VOICE, WE WOULD BE IN LESS DANGER!" screamed Komali, so loudly that an even worse silence followed. This, however, was penetrated by a most unwelcome sound: a growl.

"Oh, you did it now, Komali..." Link taunted, despite his rigid, fearful body position. No one turned around. They could feel hot breath on the backs of their necks.

"Ok...who wants to turn around first?" Daphness asked.

"In all due respect, I believe it should be Komali," said Link.

"What?" Komali gasped.

"Well, it IS your fault this thing's behind us, is it not?" Link asked simply. Komali sputtered.

"I have to go with Link's opinion. Well, now that that's settled, on the count of three, Komali," Daphness said.

"No--"

"One...two...THREE!"

Komali turned around, only to face a gigantic wolf with red eyes, white, bloodied fur, and razor sharp yellow fangs.

"Ok, guys? This is like...really fucking bad," said Komali. "Just turn around..."

Link and Daphness turned around.

"Wow, you're right, this is bad," Link said casually.

"Yep," said Daphness.

The wolf growled once more, only more menacingly this time, and swung its head, snapping at the air.

Dropping Ruto's leash, the king leapt into the water to escape, followed by Link and Komali.

"WHY HAVE YOU BETRAYED ME? HELP!" screamed Ruto. But it was too late. The giant wolf ate her. Then it exploded.

"Woah, that wolf just exploded," said Link.

"Yeah, you're right," replied Daphness.

"Hey, look, there's the medallion," Komali said, pointing to their newly appeared prize.

The trio climbed onto the platform upon which the medallion rested, and upon grabbing it, they were teleported out of the Water Temple.

Link's Water Temple stalker appeared where they had been standing mere moments before. He smirked.

"Those fools. I hope they come to realize that Bambi is not the only one watching them...hehehe..."
