Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN ZELDA!
Ok, its been awhile, my computer picked a bad time to go totally wacko. I fixed it none-the-less. Sooooo… here's chapter four, hot out of the oven!
,.oOOo.,
Chapter 4: Trouble with the guard
We were all standing in the front hall, waiting for Impa to bring Epona. Nobody said anything.
My mind was going a million miles per hour, trying to make sense of everything that I had been told, and everything that was about to come.
I broke the ice.
"I can't say I'm exactly excited to meet this, Nevva." I said to Zelda.
"Oh, you'll like her! She's one of my best friends!" Zelda said managing a smile.
"How do I know were to find her?" I asked.
"Well, There are guards guarding the entrance into Kakiriko village. They take account of everyone that goes in, and makes sure no one leaves. Nevva thinks it is best for them to not know that you are there." Zelda explained. " Nevva said she would find away to get you in and to her home without being seen."
"But, wouldn't they have guards around every entrance?" I wasn't sure how much faith I had in Nevva.
"Link, I trust Nevva, she will find away." Zelda said with confidence.
"Here comes Impa!" Malon said.
Impa brought Epona over to me. I stroked her big head while Impa saddled her up.
"You're the same as I remember you old girl." I whispered to Epona. She looked at me and snorted back.
When she was all saddled up, I climbed onto her, and patted her neck.
"Take good care of her Link!" Malon said.
"Don't worry," I assure her. "I will."
"Link," Zelda said talking fast. "When you get to the stairs, don't turn the corner. Hoot like an owl three times, and wait for Nevva to hoot back."
I nodded.
"Be careful," Impa said, "The road ahead of you is a dangerous one." Gee that made me feel much better.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful." I said with confidence.
,.oOOo.,
Two guards were standing by the front gate.
"Hey, Bart! Look at this, a little bunny!" The first guard said, making a shadow puppet out of the light of their lantern.
All of the sudden the draw bridge started to come down.
The two guards took their positions, and looked alert. What they saw made their mouths drop.
Coming down the front hall of the castle, was a small boy, on a horse.
"Uh, Sam?" the second guard said still starring.
"Yeah Bart?" The first guard said.
"I don't think he's slowing down." The second said.
They both scrambled to open the gate, and opened it just in time.
,.oOOo.,
I just narrowly missed the gate. I looked around, and enjoyed my self, as the guards all stopped and starred at me. I waved to a few of them, and shouted "KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!"
They all just starred at me, there mouths hanging wide open. I laughed to myself.
When I came to the second gate, the guard scrambled to open it, just like the other two did.
It was around ten o'clock, so there were no people in the Marketplace. That was good and bad. The good part was, there was no people to worry about squishing, the bad part was, it was night, and the gate was closed. I could only hope that the guard at the gate, would open it in time.
I ran down the alley, and could see the gate. I knew the guard saw me, but he didn't do anything. Still, I didn't slow down. I was almost there and he hadn't moved. If he didn't act soon, I wouldn't make it through the gate.
Epona knew we were at a dead end, and she started to slow down, but I pushed her on. But it was too late, we were going to hit the gate.
Well, I was at least. Epona saw it coming and came sliding to a halt. She stopped so fast that I went flying over here head and hit the gate! OOMPH! The stupid guard just stood there for the whole thing!
"Hey! Didn't you see me coming?" I shouted angrily.
"Yes." He said calmly.
"And you didn't open the gate!" I said annoyed.
"No." He said. I was beginning to think he was a man of few words.
"Why not?" I said getting up and making sure Epona was OK.
"Nobody is allowed out at night, there are zombies." He said as if I was stupid. I was beginning to hate this guy.
"Listen here buster!" I said taking out my sword and pointing it at the guy,
Navi flew out of my hat.
"Hold your panties Link!" She said. "Look mister, we are kind of in a hurry, and this gate is slowing us down."
"I can't let you out, it's dangerous." He said.
"But Link here, has a sword." She said. "A group of people are in trouble, and if we don't get there, the may all die!"
"OK, if it will get you to go away." He said annoyed.
I didn't like this guy at all. I got back on Epona, and Navi flew back to my hat.
"But first," The guard said. " You have to pay a toll."
"How much?" I asked rolling my eyes.
"Thirty rupees." He said smiling. I threw the rupees at his feet, and he opened the gate.
Finally I thought. I was on my way to Kakiriko Village.
,.oOOo.,
This is the end of chapter 4! In the next chapter, Link finds Nevva, but will they get around the guards? All this and more in CHAPTER FIVE!
Can you believe the only thing I've done this week is get a haircut? And my computer was wacko! Do you think it's possible to die of boredom? We'll tonight is open house for my skool, but I hope to have the next chapter up by tomorrow morning. Yep, I'm going for two chapters in one day!
