Gannon cautiously moved from behind the curtains and continued his search.

Very peculiar. It's very small………they must be peasants. He thought to himself.

He didn't seem to understand how the faucet worked. There was no well or stream near by that he could see, and why was one knob labeled H and the other C? "Gasp Ahh, that's why…hot and cold…I see…how do they get the water so hot?"

He started up the stairs. First was Gloria's room, 3 words: spotless, pink, and Barbie. Gannon shuddered as he looked around the room "Huh just like young Princess Zelda's room was……yuck" he walked out of the room as quickly as possible.

Next was Tory's room. He walked in and instantly recognized the pictures on the walls. (A.N. the biggest was the Goddess picture)

"She's a worshiper of the goddesses too! grunt That'll change. Hmmm…I wonder if she control's him form here…how does she do it? I must know. I could use that power." Saying this reminded him why he was looking in these girls rooms in the first place: To find Link. If he was here; Gannon was sure he was.

Gannon trudged back down the stairs to the dining room. "He's not here. How can he only send me here? Did he learn some sort of strange magic trick from Zelda? If so how would he—?" His train of thought was broken the back door was opening. He again dashed behind the curtains. This time they were men's voices. They're searching for something too," Gannon pondered "what could they be searching for?" For about 10 minuets more the fools wandered around the house then left, much to Gannon's relief. (He had to hold his breath for most of the time.) He slipped from behind the curtains once again and started towards the basement, he was not giving up this easily.

the police assured the girls that there was no one in the house. They returned home. The girls went in through the back door. Tory went striate to her game while Gloria shut all the doors in the house, locking the front and back. Tory pressed the reset button on her game system. Her save spot was right outside Gannon's castle. "Where's Link?" the camera was facing the castle but Link wasn't anywhere near it! She could move the camera around but where's Link! She took the disk out cleaned it and put it back in. Waiting for it to boot up again Gloria yelled from the kitchen,

"Want something to drink?" she was a brat but wasn't all bad.

"Yeah, Grape soda."

"We don't have any!"

"Yes we do, in the basement under the stairs there's like 3 boxes of caned goodness!" Tory was in a better mood then earlier that day. She was back playing her game. She just didn't understand why Link wasn't there…

Gloria never liked going in to the basement, day or night. She had an over active imagination. She always gave a yelp going down there to let the fear out. Tory knew it and was used to it. Gloria opened the door and flipped the light switch. The only light in the entire basement that turns on is it one over the stairs. If you want more light down there you had to pull a switch all the way on the other side of the basement. No way was Gloria going to do that. She could feel the fear already building up inside her as she walked down the stairs. It was the type of fear where you know something bad is coming and you can't escape it. She got half way down the stairs and she couldn't hold it in any longer. She yelped, not too loud, but loud enough that Tory heard. She continued down the stairs and tried not to look around the darkness. She held tightly onto the end of the railing and in one swift movement jumped and turned herself a whole 270 degrees making sure she was facing the stairs when she landed. It was faster then walking and it made herself feel better every time she went down stairs. She hated it when her back faces the darkness. It always felt like someone was creeping up behind her. Underneath the stairs was mostly darkness but to Gloria's delight she didn't have to look very hard, for the soda was right where Tory said it was. She side-stepped towards the soda and squatted down just to get 2 cans because her skinny arms couldn't handle the weight of the whole box.

Now there was a spot where the shelves didn't meet the wall, where the light didn't shine. A grown man could fit in that slot quite comfortably, and not be noticed. Gloria tortured herself with the thought. She stood up accidentally looked at that exact spot. Is that a head peeking around the corner? "Nope it's not, it's not real." She said looking away. Her heart starting to beat faster as she calmly walked up the stairs.

"Wait!" It spoke.
