AN- me want bata it was one am when I wrote the first tired.

Disclaimer- do I look like I would own Zelda? NO!

Er, sorry for yelling… here's a chapter.


At the sight of a ghost holding a lantern, I screamed, and Link actually fainted.

"I'm quite sorry! I didn't mean to give the poor feller' such a fright!" The ghost looked remorseful at making Link faint, so I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt.

"I'm sure you didn't mean to, but still, you could give a bit of a warning before coming right up to people who fall down a grave." I scowled at him, all the while holding onto Link, and keeping his head in my lap.

"I only wanted some company, and I like racing people for my treasure. Would you like a try?" he asked, giving me a toothless grin.

"I guess, but I don't want to leave him alone."

"Well, I guess I can l go slow, but I still want to go fast, so you owe me a real race after this one, okay?"

"Okay," I shrugged and picked up the unconscious Link and followed the ghost around the dark corridors under the graveyard. At the end, he gave me a strange mechanical device with a hook at the end.

"Sorry 'bout yer friend. Good luck after this, and don't forget to race me again, you owe me!" and with that the ghost disappeared. At first I was relieved, but that relief turned into my realization that I was alone and trapped here until Link woke up. I couldn't take this, and started to break down and cry. It wasn't so much the idea that I was trapped that scared me, it was the idea of being alone. The only time that I didn't have someone around was when I turned dark, and those memories hurt. I remembered how I almost killed Zelda and I came very close to killing my version of Link.

"Vaati, what happened?" Link awoke with a start. I turned my back on him, so he wouldn't know that I had been crying.

"You fainted wh-h-h," my breath hitched, betraying my crying.

"Vaati, have you been crying the whole time I was out?" more than anything, he seemed legitimately upset at that fact.

"Yes." I blushed at my admittance. He got up and walked over to me, putting his arm around my shoulder.

"Why were you crying?"

I sighed and gave him the truth; that I wasn't afraid of small spaces, and that it was really because I was alone for the first time since I fell prey to power and became dark.

"Vaati, after hearing that, my ghost problem doesn't seem that bad." I could tell he was trying to cheer me up, but the only thing that would make me feel better was getting out of there. I took a deep breath and calmed myself.

"Link, can we get out of here?"

"Of course! I feel like an idiot." He started looking around for a way out, and I just sat down, leaning against a flat stone.

"Aha! Vaati, get up, I found our way out." I did, but I didn't understand how I was on the 'way out', so I didn't believe him.

He pulled out his ocarina, and started playing a song. When he finished, nothing happened.

"Nice job, Link. I see tha-" I was interrupted in the middle of my sentence by a glowing light emitting from the stones I was leaning on, and they disappeared.

"What happened?!" I shook him because I was so startled.

"Ahhh! Don't do that! It's because of the song that I played. It is basically useless, so I didn't really think I would need to explain what the ocarina does."

"Link, I hope that you know that we are not sleeping outside, and that we are staying at a nice inn." I glared at him to prove my point, and at seeing my expression, he smiled; embarrassed at what happened, he would hopefully agree to my, how should I say, forceful request.

"Fine. You're paying." He ran up the stairs out of there before I could catch him. I could tell that he was going to be a great friend. I shook my head and walked after him.


AN- heh heh heh… sowee about the short chapter, wanted to actually get something out there. Please, people, if you want more story, please review, and I want a beta who can be wonderful in dealing with *gestures to all of me* Erm… yes. I'm not always the best writer, so I need some help with the plot, and grammar.
