Her
As don't see anything at first but then I'm suddenly getting held up against the wall by a man of my height and build. He starts to question my height and build. "Who are you? Are you working for the King? Where were you heading?" He keeps on asking questions but I don't respond right away, instead taking the time to observe my surroundings, seeing that the whole place is eye balling me.
"ANSWER THE QUESTIONS!" He starts to yell at me. "Let me go and I will tell you." I calmly say. He lets up his hold of me and takes a step back. I quickly fix my tunic and start to answer, "My name is Link. I came to Castle Town to see...someone, but instead saw Castle Town in turmoil." Everyone stares at me blankly for a couple seconds before the man starts to speak, "You cannot be the hero the princess told us, are you?" " I am." I respond.
He sits me down and starts to explain what all this is about, "A group of us have made a resistance group since the King came into power, trying to dethrone him since but to no avail. We been in hiding for a week now. The guards are getting more aggressive and we cannot take anymore chances until we have a solid plan." "So now you want me to help you guys?" I ask with a hint of humour in my tone. "It would be helpful." He responds back with a small laugh. "I start to laugh a little too before realizing that I don't even know the name of who I'm laughing with.
"Oh I almost forget to ask you your name." I say him. "Derrick." He tells me. I shake hands with him as I tell him, "Well my friend, I will help under one condition." He nods his head as I begin to say, "I will help as long as we can save-" "So your Link huh?" I look to my right to see a big man standing between a doorway looking directly at me. I quickly look at Derrick for some help. " That's Chad. He thinks he's the leader of the resistance." He tells me. I look back to the man and confirm that I'm Link. He comes up to me and says, "you don't look so tuff," and gives me a slight shove. "I'm the boss around here so don't think that just because your here means your taking over." He shoves me again after saying, this time with a little more force.
"I don't care if you think your the boss or not, I'm not even here on purpose...but touch me again and you'll wish you weren't the boss...you'll wish you were dead..." He laughs at what I say as he goes in for another shove, this time though, I react like I said.
I tackle him to the ground and begin to land punches on him. The resistance member start to create a circle around us and cheer us on. Despite his bigger size I keep him on the ground for a good while before he finally kicks me off of him. "That wasn't fair you caught me off guards!" He yells across from me. "Its not over yet! I yell back. We move forward and begin to fight hand-to-hand. I quickly block his punches and counter, clearly being the better fighter. He realizes that he cant win standing up and takes me down instead.
I try to stop him but we're soon on the ground wrestling. He tries to use his size to gain the advantage but I proof strong enough to hold him off. I quickly slip between him and wrap my arms around his throat from behind. He tries to get free from my choke but fails every time he tries. I start to yell, asking him if he gives up but he doesn't respond. I continue to feel him struggle until I strength the choke further and start to hear his strained voice telling me that I win.
I get off of him and let him back up. "This doesn't mean your better than me," He says, "it just means you got lucky." I look over to Derrick to see him smirking at me. "What's so funny?" I ask him. "Nothing, its just that I've never seen Chad so vulnerable before and its kinda funny." He says still with a smirk on his face. We go and sit down on the chairs nearby and begin to talk a little more.
"Why did you grab me anyways?" I ask him. "We were watching the fights outside and saw that you got out of the fights and was heading down the street the tavern's on. I saw this as an opportunity and now were here talking about it." He explained. "You proved that you can fight, especially after beating Chad that badly, but we still don't have a plan on what to do about the King."
"Do you guys have any plans at all?" I ask him. "We do," he responds, "but we haven't settled on one of them yet, maybe you can help with that?" " I might," I tell him, "but first I need to get cleaned up. Do you have a place for that?" He points to a door nearby and I begin to get up and walk there. "Do you know what time it is?" I ask before leaving. "A couple more hours before the sun goes down. Why" He asks me. "I'll explain later, we don't have much time. Get everyone together, we need to quickly figure something out before sunset." I say. He doesn't question me and just nods as I turn to walk towards the door again.
We're getting closer and closer to the end! This was another action packed chapter and I hope you guys enjoyed it.
