Hello there! ...Again! Now, before we get started, I would like to make something clear. This may seem like I've written two chapters in one day, but I haven't. Chapter six has been finished for a couple of days now; I just haven't had the time to upload it. Chapter seven, however, was written today, all at one time, in about... oh, an hour and half, two hours. I am sorry to say that this chapter is not at all like those before it in the way of comedy. It's honestly not very funny at all. But I find that even the funniest of stories must have a serious moment every now and then. Otherwise, you get tired of the comedy and leave to find your enterainment elsewhere.

Me: Now... the disclaimer, if you please.

Malon: destiykeyblade does not own anything Zelda related. Well, other than her many video game copies and that picture that she drew of Link.

Gaara: Is it my turn yet?

Link: What are you doing here??

Gaara: I have something very important to tell the readers!

Malon: What is it?

Gaara: This chapter of The Tormentors in person was brought to you by Kingdom Hearts music that's so beautiful it's depressing and the authoress being in a very dark mood, the latter most likely caused by exposure to Shadow the Hedgehog and myself. We're both dark characters, and we've been in destinykeyblade's head today, so...

Me: You're wrong, Gaara.

Gaara: I am?

Link and Malon: He is?

Me: Yes. I am in a dark mood because...

Everyone: Because?

Me: ...BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN!!!

Link: Wha-

Me: I'm not telling you what I mean. I've been forgotten, and that's all I'll say. -coughs- Ahem. So sorry, folks. I hope I haven't scared you all away. If you're still here, please go ahead and read chapter seven, which I worked very hard on. I'm going to shut up now so you can hopefully enjoy yourselves. Goodbye.


~Angel's POV~

I gave a mental sigh. What I wouldn't have given to be back on Earth in my living room, whining about it being Lily's turn to play the Nintendo! Hyrule was pretty and all that, but I just didn't want to be here anymore. With another sigh inside my mind, I took a look around the room.

The wasn't a whole lot of furniture, and what was present was nothing fancy. A table near the window, a dresser in the corner, a mirror on the wall... stuff like that. Malon was sitting on the floor a few feet away from me, rubbing her head like she had a headache or something. My fault, no doubt. Everything was my fault, whether I was here in Hyrule or back home on Earth. And I couldn't do anything right. Which is probably why it was always my fault. No matter what the reason though, that's the way things were. I can't believe I ever thought that I could get away from all that if I was in a video game world! ...Wow, there were alot of I's in that sentence...

I heard footfalls from outside the door. Someone was coming up the stairs. The sound of Link's voice met my ears not a moment later. He was calling for Malon.

I glanced over at the red-haired Hylian girl. She was still just sitting there, not bothering to answer Link. Naturally, I didn't say anything when he said my name, either. I figured that if Malon didn't care enough to answer, I definitely shouldn't. He called our names again. I could hear the panic in his voice.

I suppose he thinks we've killed eachother by now. Won't he be surprised when he comes in and finds us both alive? ...He'll probably be dissappointed, too. I know how much he hates me.

As you may have noticed, I tend to get a little more serious when Lily's not around. Also, by this time, the sugar was starting to wear off, and I was going back to my normal, rather insane, self. The RRMS (rapid random mood swings) are daily happenings. The dark moods are, too. Gotta love the darkness... Mwahahah. And silence is my friend- no, scratch that. It's more like a lover I can't live without. I usually talk when someone attempt to make conversation, (usually, not always) but if everyone else is quiet, so am I. And even when other people talk, I hold my tounge. It's not like any of them would listen anyway. I'm nothing but a thor-

"What's wrong with you two?" Link asked. I hadn't even noticed him come into the room.

"Nothing's wrong, Link!" Malon said cheerily, a terribly fake smile on her face. "What made you think something was amiss?"

"I don't know... Maybe it had something to do with the fact that neither of you would answer me a minute ago?" he asked sarcastically.

Huh... I may get along with him yet.

Malon's awful smile got bigger. "Oh, I'm sorry, Link. I wasn't really paying attention when you called for me."

Yeah. You were too busy trying to do what everyone else has and forget I exist.

I saw Link's frown ease up a little, but only for a moment. It came back when he shifted his gaze to me.

"...You're being quiet... why?" the blue-eyed blondie asked me, clearly puzzled.

I gave him no reply. My mind was busy... But even if it hadn't been, I had better things to do than listen to someone I dislike and who dislikes me. I couldn't help glancing at him, though. When I did, I saw that he had crouched down next to me. Worry and confusion were evident in the blue eyes that searched my own greenish ones, trying to find some sort of reason for my behavior.

"Why?" Link asked again, softly this time.

Just to get him to go away, I whispered the first thing that came to my mind. "Because there's nothing to say."

~Link's POV~

What the-? Something isn't right. I've never seen her so... serious. What happened to the nutcase that used to torture me?!

I just didn't make any sense! Angel was, in my mind, a goofy teenage girl that enjoyed tormenting me with the help of her best friend. It was true I didn't really know her, but this... this dark creature that was sitting in front of me... was nothing like the Angel that had been with me this morning.

Maybe something had changed when Lily got kidnapped? Or maybe I had been too mean to her. Or maybe this was the real Angel. Maybe this was how she really was... No. I didn't want to believe that. It had to be something else. After all, people can't change that much when they're sugar high, can they?

I think that moment right there was when I knew I had to help. A girl had been kidnapped by a Wallmaster that was no doubt working for someone evil. The remaining girl had quickly changed from the annoying, yet lovable girl I knew into a... a... there wasn't even a word! I knew that I would reunite these close friends so that they could be happy again... or I would die trying.

First though, I needed to find Angel something to wear. The jeans and T-shirt just flat out were not going to work. And even if she blended in, she would need something durable, not like the dresses I saw scattered across the room. Those wouldn't do either if she was to be roaming Hyrule with me. Where would I find something like that, though?

.....Ha!

All of the sudden, an idea popped into my head.

"Malon!" I said loudly, turning to face the farm girl.

"Y-yes, Link?" she stammered, suprised by my sudden outburst.

"Can you sew?"

~No One's POV~

"Almost..... there! It's finished!" Malon exclaimed happily. She hurried up the stairs to her room, dragging Angel along behind her and saying "Try it on!" over and over again. Without waiting for an ok, she pushed the Earthling through the door and tossed the clothing in at her. A couple minutes later, Angel came out of the bedroom, looking like she wanted to dissapear. Link's eyes widened when he gazed upon the girl.

She was clothed in an outfit much like his own, green color and everything. Now, though she wasn't exactly a supermodel, the tunic revealed what the large T-shirt had hidden - a figure. ...Was it just Link, or did her eyes suddenly look brighter and more sparkly because of the now noticable catch lights? And did her hair suddenly look like it was silky and soft and framing her face?

The blonde Hylian quickly turned his head, feeling his cheeks turn pink. This... is not good.

A few hours later, (Malon having forced them to stay and eat lunch before they set out) Link and Angel could be seen leaving Lon Lon Ranch, riding two of the best horses in Hyrule. Link, of course, was riding Epona, and Angel was atop a black beauty of a creature, a magnificent horse she had taken a liking to immediately and affectionately named Shadow.

So begins a tale of hardship and friendship... of laughter and tears... and most of all... a tale of adventure and love...
