Chapter Six: More Disappearances

Link, Impa, Ruto, and Darunia stood on the edge of the cliff next to Ganon's Tower, the glow from the lava making their faces look orange.

"Well how are we going to cross?" Link asked after a while, "Without all the sages, we can't make another rainbow bridge."

"We know that! What we don't know is how to do that!" Ruto snapped.

They heard laughing all around themselves. Soon after it stopped, a sign materialized in front of them. It read: "A bridge can only be made by cooking fish sticks"

"See if you can figure that out!" The laughing voice exclaimed.

Everyone looked around themselves in bewilderment. Everyone except Ruto. She was peering into the lava, looking oddly fearful. Link looked from her to the lava and suddenly understood.

He wants us to sacrifice Ruto, he thought fearfully, he's trying to finish off the sages.

"Guys," she whispered, "I think I know what it means."

Everyone looked at Ruto in confusement. She took a deep breath and explained to everyone what she meant.

"No!" Darunia cried. "That can't be right! It's not!"

"Oh but it is!" The voice cackled.

"NO!" Impa said firmly. "We're not doing this. Ganondorf's just trying to get all the sages either gone or dead!"

"But we have to save Princess Zelda!" Ruto cried, "And Nabooru!"

And with that, she jumped. Time seemed to stand still as she fell, and there was a moment before she hit the lava. The moment just seemed to freeze.

"DUCK!" Link cried as the lava came exploded upwards when she hit it.

But instead of the lava frying the air where they were stand seconds ago, there was nothing. Link carefully opened his eyes and gasped at what he saw.

Somewhere Unknown

Navi the fairy buzzed around aimlessly. She looked thoroughly bored, zooming around her cage like that. She hadn't known what had happened. She was with Link and then...she wasn't.

"I hate this stupid cell!" She screamed to her self.

But it wasn't a cell. It was bottle with bars drawn on it. Still, it was small and scary. Close enough to a cell. Navi sighed. Air was getting pretty tight, and shge was afraid that she wouldn't last much longer. She'd probably be dead by the hour.

"Just a little sleep," she yawned, floating down to the bottom.

She didn't wake up.

Gerudo Valley

"Finally, the pathetic fairy's out of the way," Alyssa sneered.

The other gerudo's glanced at themselves nervously. Alyssa had come back and became leader of the gerudos. And she wasn't nice about it.

"Rosa! Get over here now!" She cackled.

Rosa looked around in fear. Alyssa had become known to torture those who defied her. So far three. Two of them never came back. The one who did was now Alyssa most faithful follower.

"B-but I-I-I didn't-I'm not," Rosa stammered.

"I said get over here!"

Rosa got up and followed Alyssa to the torture chamber. Alyssa shut and locked the door behind them. She tore Rosa's shirt off and tied her hands to a rope hanging from the middle of the ceiling.

"I'm only going to ask you this once! Where is Link?" Alyssa hissed.

"I-I don't know," Rosa lied.

Alyssa walked over to the wall and selected a whip, long and hard. Rosa shook in fear at the sight of it.

Alyssa smiled evilly and said, "See this whip? This is my best whip. You don't want me to hurt you with this do you?"

Say no, her mind was screaming, say no!

But Rosa said nothing. She wasn't going to screw around here, especially if she was going to die.

"I'm not saying anything!"

Alyssa laughed, "So you're saying you want me to hit you with this."

Again Rosa remained silent. Alyssa asked her once again if she wanted to get hit with it, this time hitting her softly on the back.

"No! No dson't hit me with it!" She sobbed finally.

Alyssa cackled and whipped Rosa in the back, hard this time. Rosa broke down crying, saying she knew nothing about Link. Alyssa hit her even harder now.

"Tell me where Link is!" Alyssa said softly, gently hitting Rosa's back.

"I don't know, honest!" Rosa screamed.

It hurts even when she hits me softly, Rosa thought, but I can't betray Link and Zelda

"Tell me right now, or no more gentle whips!"

Rosa shook her head no. Alyssa walked over to the Wall of Whips and selected a longer, broader one. She sent it, as hard as she could, into Rosa's back. Rosa was screaming, sobbing for her to stop, but everytime she made noise, she would get hit as hard as it went.

Rosa sat up in bed, looking around herself, before realising it was dream. A very realistic, painful dream(somehow), but a dream nonetheless.

"I'm going to tell her the truth." Rosa said to herself.

She walked downstairs and into Alyssa's room.

"Alyssa," she said, "I know where Link is."

I dunno, that last part was a bit...you know, gory-ish. So anyway's read, review, and I promise none of the upcoming chapters will be like that. I'll try to get the next chapter in by Christmas, so don't wait too long. Oh and Ganondorf is sooooo lame...fishsticks, pfffftt.
