Chapter 3
Silvounous was still running when she exited the woods. So many thoughts were rushing through her head.
The boy from the woods was the same boy that had fallen from the sky. He was the same boy that had lain crumpled on the ground. He wasn't dead, not even injured. He was alive and at full capacity. She'd now seen him awake, eyes open, no chance of him being a part of the unliving. The boy had sky blue eyes. They captivated her, as they reminded her of someone from childhood. Her mother's eyes, that's what he had.
Silvounous arrived at the bottom of a deserted hill. A hill that nobody but herself went to. She finally collapsed onto the grassy fields that she called home.
Silvounous ,too be honest was afraid to figure out who the boy was. At the same time though, she was curious. She was glad to have left him but at the same instance was regretting it.
"Why do I feel like this?" she asked herself, knowing that she didn't have an answer. "Why do I feel this way?" she asked, this time to the heavens. No answers came. Silvounous sighed and waited for the sky to turn dark.
Eventually the sky did darken revealing the millions of stars that had been hidden behind the curtain of light. The stars glimmered as she admired each and everyone of them. It took some time before Silvounous stopped looking and fell into a dream filled sleep.
He was chasing her, as she jumped across the rooftops of the villagers' huts. His red hair whipped against his green skin as he hopped after her. The line of huts ended. She was trapped.
Silvounous woke up with slight paranoia. She crawled over to a worn out, red backpack and picked out an apple from the many fruits and grains contained in it. Juice squirted out as she took a huge hunking bite out of an orange she had skinned already. Soon there was nothing left. Silvounous discarded the orange skin onto the pile of fruit remains she had made and left for the market.
She entered into the crowded, noisy streets and went in search of food. Many of the men from the markets were generous and gave her all the morsels they could spare. "Thank you", said Silvounous as she left one of their markets. They had always been willing to leave aside a meals worth for her ever since Marie had passed away. Most of the market men had found her to be a sweet child, a female not to be left to die. An orphan they could not put to sleep.
That's when she caught sight of the man she dreaded most. "Ganondorf", she whispered under her breath. At that moment he turned and caught sight of her. Fuck. He immediately started walking her way. Silvounous ran off feeling panicked. She caught sight of a ladder and climbed up it not even thinking twice about it. When Silvounous got up to the top, she realized she was on the roof of a hut. Shit!
It was just like her dream. She was jumping off rooftops only to find herself landing on top of another roof. And of course the line ended leaving Silvounous trapped. No! No! No! She turned to look back on Ganondorf, who was several huts behind her. What do I do? She took a quick view of her surroundings finding a convenient rope bundled up, lying to her left. Thank god.
"Lucky me", she said as she grabbed the rope and tied it to a bent piece of bamboo. Silvounous let herself drop over the edge of the hut. Turned out the hut she was on was about three stories high, maybe four. Whoa! Okay, I can do this. I'll get through this unscathed. I hope. She gulped and looked down to see him, the boy from the woods. He was walking right by the hut she was on. What is he doing here?
He suddenly stopped and then he looked over at the hut. His gaze fixed upon Silvounous and she froze. Those eyes... Their so pretty... He seemed to be getting closer and then Silvounous realized he was. He was walking toward her. She actually let a tiny smile grace her lips. Fear flashed trough his eyes and he was running. At his reaction she halted her smile. Then the rope went taunt.
Silvounous closed her eyes waiting for the crack of a bone or the fierce pain that was sure to come. But it didn't. Instead she felt something that was smooth and soft underneath her. Something full of warmth and comfort. Opening her eyes, she gazed into a pair of sky blue eyes showing relief. The boy had caught her.
"Are you okay?" asked the boy.
"I'm fine", answered Silvounous.
"You sure?" he asked.
"Yes." The boy slowly, carefully put her down.
"Thanks", said Silvounous.
"Don't thank me yet, you still need to get out of here", said the boy.
As if to prove his point Ganondorf peered down at the duo. Silvounous couldn't argue with him now, could she? "Who are you?" she asked.
He seemed to think on it for a while as if he were trying to remember. "Pit", he answered.
"Alright then, Pit come with me", said Silvounous as she grabbed a hold of his hand.
The boy obeyed her and followed as she weaved through the crowds and lead the way to the hill. By the time the two of them arrived it was dusk, the sun just starting to set.
Pit's hand felt comforting in Silvounous'. She felt safe for once, not worrying about Ganondorf or her own self. A comforting warmth radiated from Pit and somehow she knew Pit would protect her. Pit would keep her safe.
They sat down then, Silvounous just realizing that she still held his hand. She let go and they sat there on the hill together. Both not sure about what to do.
Finally the sun set and the stars appeared one by one. "The stars are beautiful tonight", said Pit breaking the silence. "They always are though."
"Yeah, they sure are", Silvounous agreed. "Always so nice. So nice that I sometimes wish it was always night."
Pit nodded his head in agreement. "It would be amazing if it were always night."
A few more minutes past before Pit fell asleep. Then Silvounous was left alone to do what she had done the night before. Admire the stars that were twinkling above her. After the twentieth star or so Silvounous started drifting off into sleep. There she dreamt one of the strangest dreams she had ever had.
Pit and Silvounous were sitting by the shore of a lake that was a clear, sparkling blue. Pit's smooth arms were wrapped around her, her head pressed against his
chest. He smelled slightly of a lily in June. Something about him was different. Silvounous looked up and saw it. Behind Pit were a pair of feathery, white wings, like an angels.
Silvounous woke up screaming, not knowing why, and not really caring. Pit was up instantly, searching for the sign of Silvounous' distress. When he couldn't find it he crawled over to Silvounous to comfort her.
Pit wrapped his arms around her saying, "It's okay Silvounous, it was just a dream, just a dream." Silvounous started prying his arms with her hands. Pit's arms gave way and slinked back to his sides. "You okay?" he asked.
"No, I'm not okay, just go away", she yelled at him, not even thinking anymore.
"But..", started Pit.
"Just go!" she yelled.
Pit left and Silvounous sat there alone on her hill. Her mind started to work again and she felt terrible. Pit her new found safety was now gone. "I have to go get him back", she thought.
Silvounous ran in the direction he had gone calling his name out every once in a while. She ended up in the woods and spotted him between two pines.
"Pit", she called
"What do you want?" asked Pit turning to face her. He looked upset.
"I'm sorry Pit, I was just, scared and I feel horrible, and... and..." Silvounous started before she burst into tears. "I'm sorry."
Pit watched as Silvounous cried. "Can you forgive me?" she asked.
"Can you answer a few questions?"
Silvounous nodded her head yes. "Did you meet me before the woods?" he asked.
"I saw you fall from the sky."
"Did I fall from a plane?"
"I don't know, I didn't see anything in the sky except for you and the clouds."
"Your forgiven."
Silvounous gave Pit a bright smile, that he couldn't help but smile back at.
The two of them headed back to the hill and Silvounous grabbed the both of them an apple. Both chomped down on the apples and both got squirted with it's juice. A minute later and Pit said "Thanks Silvounous for everything."
After that there was silence besides the crunching of the apples. They both finished and tossed their apple carcasses across the field into the pile of apple cores.
Pit broke the silence asking, "How come you're not home, I bet your family is worried about you."
"Actually their not, I was... Abandoned when I was little, my mom left me on a seamstresses doorstep, I lived with the seamstress for two years."
"Why only two years?"
"There was a fire, she died, I didn't."
"What about her family?"
"Well, there was her brother, Ganondorf, but he hates me, he thinks the fire is all my fault."
"Ganondorf, the guy from the woods right, the one you called Ganondork?"
"Yep, that's him" Laughter spilled out at the nickname.
"Well that explains why he chases you around everywhere."
"So, what about your family?" asked Silvounous.
"Well um... I don't remember, I don't really remember anything except for my name, I probably have memory loss from the fall."
"Oh, your probably right."
The two of them subsided into silence. Silvounous felt like a heavy weight had just been lifted off her back. Without warning new tears started sliding down her face.
"Silvounous, no, don't cry", pleaded Pit. Tears continued to slither down her cheeks. "It'll be all right", he continued to say as he hugged her, cradling her head to his shoulder. Even with all his comforting she kept crying. Each tear brought her and Pit closer and closer. They ended up right up against each other.
After what seemed to be like days to Silvounous, she stopped crying. Pit continued to hold her, comforting her in a way nobody else could have done. Barely aware of what she was doing Silvounous snuggled her head into Pit's chest. A faint scent of lily wafted from him.
His heart rate seemed to speed up and he felt this strange feeling blossom within him. Pit instinctively pulled away from Silvounous in that instance, wanting to avoid the unknown emotion. Immediately feeling disappointed, Silvounous watched as Pit got up and ran.
Ganondorf slowly made his way around the marketplace. That girl had slipped out of his grasp again. The little murderer always got away. She couldn't just die could she. The little silver haired brat had to pay for his sister's death. She had to!
He needed to avenge Midna. Needed to see the one who had caused that fire die. Silvounous had to die for what she did to Midna.
He continued past the marketplace not sure of where exactly he was heading. All he knew was that he had to kill that evil silverette.
