Chapter 2- The Attack

It was his hometown; he had lived there for most of his life, but today something was different. Something that he couldn't put his finger on…but it would have to wait. He had to go talk to Saria. Link ran around the steep hill that separated his house from Saria's but when he got to the other side, he wasn't ready for what he was about to see. An eerie black and white portal appeared in the sky above where Saria was standing. Link was rooted to the spot as three disturbing creatures came out of the portal and surrounded Saria. They went to grab her, but Link snapped out of his shock, and charged them.

"Saria! Saria run, get out of here!"

Link ran, sword drawn, and leaped into the air. He thrust his sword into the nearest creature, and it let out a horrible scream. He pulled the sword down and the beast fell. The other two now turned their attention to Link. He pulled out his slingshot, took aim, and fired, but it had no effect. One of the beasts charged Link and threw him into the side of the hill. It then pinned him there so he was unable to move. Unable to move anything but his left hand however. He raised his hand and thrust his sword into the creature, which fell down dead. Saria still hadn't moved from her spot and her wide fearful eyes told Link that she wasn't going to move.

"Darn it Saria," said Link and he ran and dived underneath the last creature to get between it and Saria.

"Link…I…what is…how…" was all Saria could say as she gaped at the monster.

The beast let out a terrible howl, and Link and Saria watched in horror as the two felled creatures slowly got up and took there places next o the other one.

"Don't these guys die?" said Link, and he charged the monsters again, but this time, they knew his strategy.

One of them ran behind where Link was going to land, and the others ran took places far enough away where he could not get them, but they could get him in the second it took to balance himself.

"Oh shi-" but before Link could finish, the monster behind him charged him and head butted him in the small of the back.

"AAAaahhhhhh!"

Link rolled on the ground, tumbling violently over himself, when one of the other monsters grabbed him, lifted him up, and then threw him back onto the ground. Link hit his head, hard, and was struggling to stay conscious. He saw the three creatures turn their backs onto him, and they walked toward Saria.

"Saria…..run….." Link managed to gasp, but to no avail. The creatures grabbed her, and just as quickly as they had come they were gone back out of the portal they came from.

"Saria's gone…" was the last thing Link said before he blacked out.
