Disclaimer: Yet again Zelda is not ours. We do not own any of the Characters except for Blake and Stefan. Aren't they just the coolest? They got in some major trouble though. Just for a mask. Sheessh. Oh well, on with the story as they say.

Wahahahahahaha (evil laugh)

FYI Link and Zelda are 17 years old.

Hyrule Castle 7 o'clock in the morning

"Hey are you guys coming or what?" Link shouted as he slung the supplies on Epona.

Blake and Stefan had argued almost the whole night and were exhausted. Blake yawned and stretched trying to wake himself up before the trip. Stefan on the other hand was barley standing on his feet. It was as if he could see what was going on around him but there were no lights on in the attic.

"Hey Blake," Blake looked up at Link with puffy eyes. "Hand me my bombs."

"Your what?" Blake said sleepily.

"My bombs…" Blake stared stupidly at Link. "In the bag…" Still no response. "Over there …" Silence. "IN THE CORNER!"

"Oh." Blake said as he dragged himself to the bombs.

"Stefan, hand me my bow and arrows." Link said as he stretched out his hand towards Stefan. "Stefan…Stefan?" Link turned and saw Stefan lying on the ground with a puddle of drool next to his mouth.

"Stefan, are you awake in there?" asked Link as he bent down to look at the figure below him.

Blake walked over to Link, still carrying the bombs, to see why Link was bending over.

"Oh, Stefan, he won't be much use until midday, just a word of warning." Blake answered as he handed the bombs over to Link.

"That's odd, for a thief." Link said as he packed the bombs on Epona. "I thought they would steal more early in the morning when people are still asleep."

"Nope," replied Blake, "He is the laziest thief I ever met, but we still do well together."

"Nn," replied Stefan, who is just barley awake.

Link goes over to get his Bow and arrows, packing the last of his things on Epona. "We are ready to take off," Link announced mounting on his horse.

"Hey wait," said Blake. "There's only one horse!"

"Oh, I hope they will be alright," Zelda said to her father. She watched as the three of them left the palace.

"I do to, but we can always trust Link with these kinds of problems," said the King. I hope so anyway, thought the King.

Zelda turned to her father. "I thought Link took care of the Dragon seven years ago."

"Yes he did, but they say this is a new one called Volgaria. It might be related to the first one." (AN: it's the mother! We just came up with the name.)

Zelda signed worriedly as she turned away.

Hyrule Field at Midday

"Hey, why do we have to walk!" Stefan yelled at Link.

"Stefan, we've already been through this." Link said

"Well I was still sleeping so explain!" Stefan argued.

flashback

"Hey this isn't fair! You're the only one with a horse!" Blake whined.

"You're the prisoners so naturally this would fall in with your punishment." Link said calmly.

"Oh yeah, what do we have to say about that Stefan?" Blake asked but no answer came. "Oh right, his brain is turned off."

end of flashback

"It's not my fault that I'm a night owl not an early bird." Stefan complained.

The three adventurers walked/rode on the path to Kakariko Village. Stefan and Blake groaned to themselves as Link relaxed on Epona's back.

"Oh yeah, we might want to get to the village before sundown so they don't come out." Link said calmly.

'I wonder who they are.' Blake thought to himself.

"Who the heck are THEY!" Stefan asked loudly.

"Let's just hope that you don't have to find out." Link said cheerfully. "In the meantime let's take in the sights. Hyrule Field is so beautiful this time of year." (AN: by the way it's spring)

"Stop trying to change the subject Link!" Stefan said getting frustrated.

Link's attention turned to a group of girls giggling to themselves. When Link waved at them the giggling grew making it obvious that Link was popular with the ladies. Link smiled at Blake and Stefan knowing that they were completely jealous.

"Could we hurry up? I don't know what they are but I don't really want to find out." Blake said as he quickened his pace.

"I'm with him on this one." Stefan replied and moved towards Blake.

"Fine, fine, onward to Kakariko Village." Link announced and they were off.

3 hours later

"Here you go miss." Link said as he handed a fish in a bottle to an old woman.

"Oh why thank you Hero of Time. I am truly grateful." The old woman said as she walked away with her fish.

"Link, we're kind of on a schedule here." Stefan complained.

"As the duty of the Hero of Time, I must help anyone I can to keep their hopes up." Link raised his hand gallantly.

"You gave her a fish." Blake said bluntly.

"Even so I can't ignore a request." Link walked up to Epona and repositioned the saddle.

Stefan walked up to Link and put on his best pouty face. "I'm requesting you to let me ride."

"No."

"You said you couldn't refuse a request!"

"A request from you I can easily refuse." Link said as he mounted Epona.

"Give up already Stefan." Blake said and walked up in front of Epona.

"Never!" Stefan declared.

A little while before sundown

"Are we gonna make it?" asked Stefan looking at the sky which has gotten darker.

"I don't think we are," said Link. "I still haven't seen the gate to the town."

"I thought you said we would make it by sundown," Blake complained. He stared straight ahead trying to make the gate appear out of thin air.

"Oh well, we should be safe anyways," said Link calmly as the sun set. "The sun sure looks beautiful at this time."

"What do you mean we should be safe," said Stefan looking around nervously.

"Yeah, is something going to get us while were out here," said Blake who was watching Link intently.

"They shouldn't harm us if we stay on the path," replied Link. "Just don't worry about it."

Who are they? thought Blake.

"What the heck is over there?" shouted Stefan.

All three of the men stared where Stefan was pointing off the road. The ground was moving and something whitish started to come out of the ground.

"Oh that's interesting," remarked Link.

"Interesting! What the heck are they!" Shouted Stefan, as he started to back toward Epona and Link.

"They are the dead," explained Link. "They always come out after the sunset." Link gave the boys a look that said 'everyone knows that'.

Blake stared in shock at the skeletons coming out of the ground. "The Dead! Do you know we have never been out of the Hyrule market!' shouted Blake.

"Umm, it looks like their coming our way," said Link drawing his sword. "Find a weapon and be prepared to fight." He starts to gallop towards the walking dead.

"Weapons! All's we got is our daggers!" shouted Stefan, fumbling for his.

"It's better than nothing," replied Blake as he thrust his dagger at the first offender.

Blake and Stefan, barely getting hit by the skeletons, continued to attack them. After awhile as the fighting had a break in it, they saw Epona. Link was no where in sight.

"Where the heck is he," yelled a frustrated Blake. "He better have not left us to fight alone."

"Wait what's that on the ground," said Stefan as he ran over to check something on the ground.

"Ah, what a horrible time to take a nap," Stefan shouted at the Link who had his face planted on the ground.

"Ummm, I don't think he is taking a nap," said Blake in a shaky voice. "He looks like he is knocked out."

"This is the Hero of Time," said an outraged Stefan. "I thought he could beat anything, even the dead!"

"Stefan, heads up! Here comes another wave of them!"

The two continued to fight, protecting Link all the while. They got bashed and cut. Finally they saw the one thing they wanted; the sun rose.

"Look their going away!" yelled Blake.

"I'm going to have nightmares after this night," complained a tired Stefan.

"Unn, what happened," said a voice from below.

"Your awake," both of the boys said relived.

"What's the big idea making us fight on our own," continued Blake. "We could of been killed."

"It's day?" a confused Link said. "We must be on our way to Kakoriko Village." Link gets up, mounts his horse and heads off to the village.

"What about us!" Blake yelled after him. "Oh well, lets go Stefan……Stefan?" Blake looks around to see his friend asleep on the ground.

"You lazy thief," Blake said shaking his head.
