Chapter Three

Marth's House

They dove about 5minutes in silence until Zelda stopped at a red light. She looked at Marth whose head was in hands.

"Marth? Marth, are you ok?" Zelda worried. "Marth?"

Marth looked up at Zelda then at the light. "It's green." He said while pointing at it. Zelda drove and stopped the car seeing how there was no one on the streets.

"Marth, are you ok or not?" She asked again.

Marth didn't answer. His hand went in his pocket and pulled out a handkerchief and tied it around his wrist. He looked at Zelda and smiled.

"I'm fine…Thank you, Zelda. Thank you for saving my life."

Zelda blushed and looked over her car side window. She looked over at her watch and saw that it was 11:56pm. It was almost close to midnight and Nana still didn't get her pizza. Zelda looked at Marth who'd been staring at her since she was thinking.

"What?" She asked still blushing.

"Nothing."

Just then a car passed by slowly near them then speed by. Zelda began to drive. Her eyes shifted to Marth.

"Where do you live?" She asked him.

"Take a left." He said nearly taking the wheel. "Turn the car off!"

"Why?" Zelda asked looking behind them.

"Just do it!" Marth hissed.

Zelda did and turned the car off. They looked at a car that was slowly looking around. Zelda saw the faces…Mario, Fox, Falco, and Nicole. They're looking for us…but how did Marth know they were coming? Zelda thought looking at Marth. The car moved fast and was gone.

"We have to get off this street." Marth said with a sigh.

"Ya think?" Zelda whispered.

"Why are you whispering?" Marth asked with a question mark popping out of his head. Zelda started the car again without answering his question. Marth looked at Zelda. "Let me drive." He said. Zelda looked at him with her royal blue eyes, sending him messages as if she was the one who was tied and beaten the hell out off. She looked away got out and hopped in the passenger seat.

"Just don't kill me…" Zelda said looking Marth's wrist.

Marth laughed, "I won't."

Seventeen minutes passed until Marth pulled up in front of a house. Zelda hid her yawn and saw Marth walk up to the house. She got out and leaned on her door. She crossed her legs and arms, looked up and saw a blond girl talking to Marth. Marth went inside without looking back at Zelda. The girl with blond hair came toward Zelda and looked at her. Who is she? Zelda thought. His girlfriend? Wait…why do I care?

"…Hi…" Zelda said.

"Zelda, is it not?" She asked her, "Marth, told me that you saved his life…"

"Oh, really?" God is he going to make a book about it now. Zelda thought fighting back her laugh.

At that moment Marth came out wearing different clothes. He seemed to be fine. He was able to walk and even tied his shoe! Zelda raised an eyebrow when she saw Marth able to do these things. She looked at his wrist seeing that it was wrapped in a band-aid. No harm done, she thought. Marth looked at Zelda and walked over to her and the blond girl.

"Zelda, this is Peach. She's my french teacher."

Peach smiled and took out a smoke. "I gotta stop this shit. Not for the heart…or the lungs." She winked at Zelda.

Marth laughed then looked at Zelda. He nodded his head for Zelda to get back in her car. Zelda got in the divers seat and rolled down the window for Marth to talk to her.

"Take care of yourself, Zelda." Marth smiled sweetly at her, which made her blush.

"You too, Marth." Zelda said as she started her car but stopped. She tried again but it didn't go. Zelda looked at the gas bar and saw that it was on E. Empty. She slapped her head and sighed. She rested her head on the wheel. She moved her head and saw Marth grinning at her. A tear drop fell behind Zelda's head.

"Your car is out of gas."

"No…really?"

Marth laughed, "I'll take you home. You're going to have to leave your car here though. Will that be fine with you?"

Zelda got out, "I guess. I'll have to take my bike to work."

Marth went in the back and brought out his motorcycle. Marth got on and waved to Zelda to get on. She got on the back and put her arms around his waist. She blushed madly. Marth just smiled.

"Hang on." He turned it on and drove. Minutes flew by as Marth slowed down in front of Zelda's house. Zelda got off and walked up to her door. Marth stood behind her and looked at her golden hair that shined in the moonlight. She turned around and looked at him.

"Thanks for the ride." She said smiling.

"Happy to do so." Marth smiled back.

Zelda open the door but was stopped by Marth grabbing her arm. She blushed while looking at him. Marth leaned forward and kissed her forehead.

"Thank you very much, Zelda. I owe you my life." Marth smiled while holding her hands.

"It's not that big of a deal." Zelda smiled.

"It is to me." He said. He let go of her. "Take care."

"You too, Marth." She whispered.

Marth got on his motorcycle and waved to Zelda and was gone. Zelda put a hand on her forehead and went inside thinking of how she almost killed herself for saving someone else's life.

(A.n.) Will Marth and Zelda met again? Something bad lies ahead…what could it be? More vampires? Will Zelda find out that Marth really is a vampire? Wait and see in the next chapter in Companions of the Night.
