Disclaimer: Repeat after me. I do not own Zelda.

Well, I jus got back from open house, it was hot as hell in the school! I go a cool homeroom teacher, but he makes you march through the halls.

So, enough of me, and more of Link!

Chapter Five: Nevva

I ran over the drawbridge, and onto the field toward Kakiriko village. I heard Navi sleeping in my hat. Good old Navi, I could always count on her.

AWOOOOOOOOO! A wolf howled. Epona must have been scared, because she stopped… and bucked.

I wasn't expecting that, and went flying to the ground! I landed with a OOMPH! I looked up to see we were almost to the village. Just 10 more yards, and I would be to the stairs.

It wasn't that easy.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Uh-oh. The wolves had come for their prey… me. I quickly got up and turned around, while pulling out my sword. Yes, all in one motion.

I saw five wolves, all staring at me. I could handle one, maybe two at a time, but five? That was a lot to ask of a guy who just wanted to catch up on old times with his friends. Instead, I had to go save a village from my uncle. Well, I'm sure that will be interesting stories to tell at Christmas parties.

"He better be a good villain too." I said to no one.

One of the wolves took a few steps toward me. He must have been the leader. Maybe if I could kill him, the others would go away.

As he walked towards me, I walked backwards. That would have been perfect, if I had been going towards the stairs. Of all the luck, they had me going towards the castle.

The others must have saw that because they slowly walked behind him. I held my sword ready for anything they were about to do.

The leader stopped. The others kept going until the formed a circle around me. They started to walk in a circle. I was trapped and didn't know what to do, but if I didn't move fast, I would be wolf food.

I kept my eye on the leader. If anyone was going to do something, they would have to get his OK.

I watched his eyes, all the time we were there, which seems like a lifetime, he watched me. And that's what saved my life.

I watched as his eyes moved from me, to the wolf behind me. I knew what was coming. A few seconds later I heard the wolf spring. But timing was everything right now. I didn't dare turn around, because if I did the leader would get me. I waited until the wolf was almost on me and then…

I quickly turned around, and swung my sword in and out of the wolfs chest. It died instantly. I quickly ran towards the stairs praying that they wouldn't get me, or Epona, but especially me.

I was almost towards the stairs! I was going to make it!

I didn't.

A wolf jumped on my back, and I came crashing to the ground. We fumbled around, as I tried to pin it to the ground. I almost had it pinned down, when another wolf leaped at me, and knocked me off the first.

I quickly tried to stab the wolf on me with my sword, but it dodged it and swiped at my face. It I kicked it off, and its claws grazed my face.

I quickly stood up. I ran toward the wolf that I had knocked down. I caught it off guard, and stabbed my sword into its back. I pulled it out and a wolf leaped at me. I was knock down, but I managed to cut it with my sword. It howled in pain. I faked a swiped at its leg, but then managed to stab it in the side. It howled in pain again.

Three down two to go.

One came at me from the front, I held out my sword, and it came into my sword, stabbing it in the heart.

I saw that the leader wolf was the only one left. I got ready for an attack. But it didn't attack. A weird thing happened. The wolf stood up straight, all the sudden calm. It nodded at me, and then… walked away.

I stood there in awe, staring at it walk away, as if it knew I was a worthy opponent and that was good enough for it.

"WOW! What happened here!" Navi exclaimed flying out of my hat.

"You slept through the whole thing?" I said still shocked about the wolf.

"What happened?" Navi said seeing my face.

"N-nothing." I said looking away, and going back to Epona. She seemed to have calmed down, and I walked here to the stairs. I stopped, and waited a few minutes to catch my breath.

"Times a wasting!" Navi said after awhile.

"Right." I said. I turned toward the mountain, and went "HOOOOT! HOOOOT! HOOOOT!"

After a minute a heard a "HOOT!" which, I figured was Nevva.

I went to the top of the stairs, but didn't turn the corner. I didn't know what to do. I waited a minute, then another.

"Link? Is that you?" I heard someone whisper.

"Nevva?" I asked. "Where are you?"

"Look up." I heard the voice whisper back. I looked up at the wall, but didn't see anything.

"Over here!" She said again.

I looked over to the other wall, and saw a small head poking out of a small hole in the wall.

"How do I get up there?" I asked.

"Do you have a grappling hook? Or some rope?" She asked.

I pulled a piece of rope out of my tunic.

"Navi!" I whispered. "Take this up to Nevva."

"YES SIR!" Navi said. She took the end and flew it up to Nevva. Nevva took it, and held on tightly. I climbed up the rope, and she made room for me in the small hole. I looked around, and saw that this was a tunnel, that probably lead to the village.

"What about my horse?" I asked.

"Oh, Malon will bring her home." She said. "This isn't the place to talk. Come back to my house, and I'll explain."

We crawled through the tunnel, and gradually, the roof got taller, so that we could stand up. Nevva had a lantern to light the way. Neither if us said anything. Finally, we came to a dead end.

"Help me push this rock." Nevva said.

I helped her push a giant rock out of the way, to reveal an alleyway behind some houses.

"So, we're in the village now?" I asked.

"Yep." Was her answer. "Remember, we can't be seen or else…"

"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU TOO DOING OUT AFTER DARK?" A voice called out to us.

My heart stopped. I had just got there, and I was already found out.
