Last time I left off, I, Jameson Thornwood, tried to escape from the cage that the pigriders had put me in.

Chapter 9

I have been in this stupid cage soooo long! I don't even know how long. The only light that I have seen is the occasional torch light.

I have sorta been considering every time I go to sleep, one night. So, according to that, I have been in this for about eleven days. Every so often, the pigriders would come and drop off some food. They want me to stay alive, probably to see if they can lure some high-ranking officials to them. I really hope Rusl didn't go to Hyrule to get the princess to get some soldiers here.

I threw one of the bones of a fish out of my cage.

"I am bored, I am bored.." I started singing.

I saw the usually torchlight coming. It was a bit too early for the pigriders; I still had the food from last time. Something was different. There was only one pair of feet and the pair was much lighter than the fat leader or the two lackeys.

"Hey! Who's coming? Rusl, is that you?" I said to whoever was coming.

"Is your name, Jameson Thornwood?" the voice asked me.

My stomach lurched. 'Finally!'

"It appears I have become famous." I said as a man had turned into my little holding area.

"Where are you?" asked the man.

"Just walk forward." I replied.

The man cautiously walked forward with his torch in front of him.

"You'll get no where walking that slow." I said leaning up against the bars of the cage.

I could see the man raise an eyebrow. I let out a laugh; I couldn't help it. I haven't seen a human in soo long.

The man's torchlight reached a bars of my cage and said, "Your in a cage?"

"Do you think I would have stayed in here if there wasn't?" I asked him.

"I guess not." The man put the torch though the bars of the cage to see me. He had a surprised look on his face when he saw me.

"Do I really look that bad?"

"Ehhh…"

"Oh please, and I bet you'd look like you just finished washing after you have been in a cave for… Hey, how'd you find me?"

"A friend of mine came to my house and asked me to go look for you. He had the oddest tiger with him too…"

"The tiger's name is Yuki. She's mine. It was Rusl, right? He told you to try to look for me?" I asked.

"Yeah, he looked like he was in a hurry too."

I sighed, "So, you already know my name-"

"My name is Shad. I have been Rusl's friend for sometime now." Shad put his unoccupied hand between the bars.

I was reluctant at first- I was joking though- I was about to oblige when Shad pulled his hand out.

I sighed again, "Do you know how I should get out of here?"

"Well, I have an idea…" Shad dropped his pack on the ground and searched through it. He pulled out a small bomb. He put that on the ground. He got something off his back; I looked to see that it was a shield.

Shad gave me the shield and told me to go to the back of the cage. I stood still, because I was. He then told me to go to a corner of the cage. I did one side-step.

He told me to kneel down, and protect my whole body with the shield. I did as I was told, The shield was so small that I had to pull my head in between my knees.

"What now?" I asked Shad.

"Wait, and keep your head down." was my reply.

I did that as well.

"Get ready,"

I braced for an impact, but nothing came.

"Hmm, that's odd." pondered Shad.

"What's up?" I asked him removing my head from that horrible smelling place.

"The bomb didn't work." Shad whispered.

I heard the three usual foot steps coming down the tunnel. Shad dropped his torch when he heard them. The flame went out.

"Quickly, come over h-"

"Who you?" asked The Fat One. I noticed that he didn't have my sword anymore and he looked a bit wounded.

"Probably a friend of Knight." said a lackey.

The leader smiled and hit down the lackey's torch. Its flame went out.

I heard them surround Shad, there was the sound of club hitting a head, and soon enough, there was a thud right next to me.

A torch was lit and sure enough, Shad was unconscious, in my cage. A lackey went to where I was kneeling, and like usual; he covered my eyes to make sure I didn't see where the food came from. There was a thud and my eyes were uncovered. The bag of fish was on top of Shad.

"Thank you, kindly." I said as the lackey relit the unlit torch in the handle.

"We be back later," said the leader, who I swear is getting fatter by the visit. The pigriders left the unconscious man, my food, and I.

I yawned and decided that I should leave the food till Shad woke up. He just better not wake up before me and eat all of the fish. I yawned again, closed my eyes and fell asleep.

'Yeah, someone to share my boredom with.'
