The next day Link woke up to screaming. As he looked out his window he saw chaos, confusion, and fire. The ranch folk were running around trying to put the fire out. Link leapt out of bed to go help when he saw "it". Link became mesmerized because about a hundred yards away he saw vicious creatures stringing fire arrows and chasing people with axes. They stood between three to four feet, full of dirty green skin. As Link stood there, one spotted him and began moving forward towards him. Unable to look away from its eyes he started to panic.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" He screamed. Then, from a corner, jumped a girl with long, beautiful, unbraided hair. She looked to be a tad older than him. She grabbed her bow and arrows, aimed and shot. Striking the beast through the eye, she hand sprinted forward taking on a mob of them, striking them with her bow as if it were a staff or sword. Looking around he grabbed a flaming plank and rushed forward to aid her, feeling his dignity sliding away.
"Heheheh" one of them laughed. "So this be the one? What a weakling". And the creature struck out at him. Dodging, Link prepared to strike back when the girl back flipped in and sliced him from shoulder to side.
"Hey!" Link shouted. "He was mine! You show off!"
She glared at him and he felt like shrinking up and curling up into a hole. For the rest of the battle he decided to help the villagers put out the fires when a woman stared at him and screamed. A man stopped what he was doing looked at him and started giving him nasty looks. Another man looked at him and couragesly started shouting "It's the freak kid from fire who cursed us!" And many people stopped what they were doing and picked up possible weapons and started to move toward him.
"Heh heh" said Link nervously "Don't stop on my account." Turning around he ran. By this time the beasts were gone, he thought. Link started to turn a corner around one of the huts when a hand clubbed him and blackness sunk in.
Chirp chirp chirp.
'I'm conscious'. Thought Link to himself. 'Okay what was the last thing I remember? Fire, beasts, oh yeah, people I thought friendly were chasing me and probably trying to kill me. Alright then, they must have caught me, okay slowly open eyes' Link commanded to himself.
Then, regaining his conscious, he opened one eye slowly and saw something like a little camp, but most importantly he saw a large stick two feet away lying on the ground next to a used fire pit. Unfortunately, to get the staff meant moving and moving meant giving away his position.
'So close but so far' thought Link disheartening. He looked around to see if anyone was about. 'No-one'.
'Okay' he thought planning to grab the staff 'one…two…' then he heard a sound. It sounded like only one person, walking lightly, so he was probably a little younger than he. Henry? He took his chance, planning to take him down.
"Ahhh" he battle cried and he pushed the figure to the ground and grabbed the staff remembering what Sadie had taught him, still a little confused about how she knew how to fight, and poised him self at the neck.
"Good morning" said a girl sarcastically.
"What?!" Said Link confused. "You're a girl?!" Paralyzed by the shock she took advantage of the moment and kicked the stick aside, somersaulted forward, and tackled him.
"What? There a problem with that?" She said digging her elbow into his neck.
"No, no, not a problem" he said gasping for air as she released her hold and took her hair down. She stood up and was approximately five and a half feet, golden skin, almond eyes the color of a light oak, her hair though was beautiful and went down to her hips, her clothes were constructed oddly: a shirt that was loose around the arms, pants that barley covered her black footwear, a short skirt over the pants, and a bow and arrows on her back, then he mentally connected a drawing he once saw of what Sadie used to look like to this girl.
"Sadie?" He said cautiously.
"Yes?" She said plainly.
"What?!" Not thinking the girl would respond to the name. "The girl back there who was fighting?" And it was. There stood the figure so many had described to him of her long ago.
"Confused?" She said amused.
"Wha…?"
"Don't ask I'm not quite sure either but right now we have to get out of here."
"I'm not going with you" he said, still in shock, while getting up.
"The village is looking for you and I saw a sentry, oh I don't know, two moments ago". And as if confirming the truth a bugle sounded not far off.
"If they catch you they'll probably torture you for bringing the moblins, then they'll kill ya" she said casually "and you won't have old Sadie to protect you, and if they saw me like this…well they would probably kill me to and condemn me for witchcraft".
"I'm not going with you". Then, they heard voices of ranchers not far off.
"Come on" Sadie said almost pleadingly "I can't leave without you"
"Forget it, they'll help me and you…I have no idea what they'll do to you, you'll see".
"What?! You can't be serious".
"Hey! It's Peter! Hey Peter!" Link called out hopeful that Peter would come rescue him from this lunatic.
"Wha…? Shush it!"
"Over here!" he continued to call out. "Wait. What are you doing?" Peter had called over some others and they began to string there bows from on top of their horses.
"You jerk" said Sadie. She turned around to run when a cloud of arrows came firing down. Link dove into the bushes but Sadie got nailed in the arm.
"Oww!" She yelled and then stumbled and fell.
'This is a really bad day' thought Link.
Jaa: So what do you think so far? Hmmm? Is anyone there!? (searching frantically)
