Warning some foul language is contained in this chapter. Also this was harder than I thought so if the reactions of some people are a little bad please don't flame.

Chapter 3: What Once was Home

The forest was worse than either of them could have imagined. The forest barely had any sign that it once was a forest. Not a single tree still stood. All the Kokiri's homes where destroyed completely, well all but one. The only sign of anything living though was small grasses starting to grow again.

"No, it's all gone," Link said sorrowfully. His eyes darted around the forest trying to find some sign of his friends.

"I can't believe it. There isn't even a fairy here," Navi whispered. She whispered louder than she wanted because Link and Faith both heard.

"There has to be something here they can't all be gone," Link cried. He ran full speed to the Lost Woods.

"Link wait!" Faith yelled after him. There was no way she was going to be able to catch him and she knew it. That boy could run a lot faster than her. "Well Rosa let's see if we can find something around here that can make me look a little less gerudo," Faith sighed to her fairy starting to wander around the forest.

-

Link ran through the lost woods not really paying attention to where he was going. He ended coming to a dead end ad just stopped. He walled up to a stone and pounded his fist on it. "Damn it! Why did this have to happen why?" Link yelled to no one.

"Who are you and what are you doing in the Lost Woods?' A voice called from behind Link.

-

"Do you really not know what happened here Rosa?" Faith asked her fairy as she looked around the one building in the Kokiri Forest that still somewhat stood. "Wow I wonder whose place this was."

"You shouldn't be in the house. No one's been in here since he disappeared. And a gerudo should never enter his house!" a young female voice called from behind Faith.

Faith jumped and turned but restrained herself from drawing her scimitars. "For one I'm not… Holy…" Faith stopped as soon as she saw who spoke. It was a young blonde Kokiri girl. "I thought the Kokiri disappeared."

"Get out of this house!" the Kokiri girl yelled.

-

"So the Kokiri are still alive!" Link said his voice dripping with relief. The Kokiri standing before him had orange hair and blue eyes and like all Kokiri he was short. Link knew this Kokiri's name was Mido but he didn't say anything about it.

"I'll ask again. Who are you and what are you doing in the Lost Woods!" Mido said not liking the fact there was an intruder in the woods.

Link pulled out the Ocarina of Time and started to play Saria's Song. It was the only thing he could think of to get Mido to trust him. It worked once why not again? With each note Link felt worse about how he ended up 100 years into the future.

"How do you know that song!" Mido screamed at Link as tears started to fill his eye. "Saria's been dead for 95 years!"

Link's heart felt ripped in two. His best friend had died because he disappeared. "I… I… I know the song because I met her over 100 years ago."

"How could you have met her? You're a Hyrulian and Hyrulians age. You look no more than 18!"

"I somehow went from the Kokiri forest 100 years ago to this time in the empty field that used to be where the Temple of Time was."

"That isn't possible!"

"Oh shut up Mido, this is Link the Hero of Time!" Navi said bouncing in Mido's face.

"Oh come on please I swear I'm not here to hurt anyone. If I was I'd have drawn my weapon instead of being pushed around by a Kokiri child!" a voice said coming closer to Link and Mido.

"You'll stay silent Gerudo! Mido will know how to deal with you!" another voice said getting closer.

Both Mido and Link turned toward the approaching voices. Faith and a small blonde Kokiri girl with a spear again Faith's back came into view.

"Mido, I found her rummaging through Link's house," the Kokiri girl said poking Faith.

"Hey that hurts!" Faith said to the Kokiri girl. Faith looked like this was the worst day of her life.

"Melody, stop poking the girl. She's not a Gerudo, that's the girl who the Gerudo took, Faith," Mido said.

"Then where's the fairy we sent to watch her?" Melody, the Kokiri girl asked.

"I'm right here! I was trying to tell you to stop the whole time!" Rosa said bouncing in the girls face.

"If she's the girl then why was she going through his house? None of us went in there out of respect to him!" Melody said.

"Perhaps her fall caused her amnesia and she doesn't really remember what happened the first 7 years of her life," Mido said half hoping it wasn't true, half hoping it was. He looked at Faith. Melody also looked at Faith.

"I don't remember what happened. I just remember waking up 7 years ago at the Gerudo camp with a fairy next to me wondering what was going on," Faith said looking at the two Kokiri.

"She came here to help me. Here's the proof that I'm not lying to you Mido," Link said as he removed the master sword from his back. "It's the Master Sword, the weapon of the Hero of Time, taken from the Pedestal of Time. "I told her to look around for something to change into so she would fit in a little better."

Mido looked at the sword then at Link. He had never really seen the Master Sword but the fairy was what convinced him. "Melody let me talk to these two alone." Melody nodded and left. Mido waited for her to get out of earshot. "It was your fairy bouncing in my face that convinced me Link. I had never seen the master sword before. I'm wondering though how is it you disappeared then and reappeared here?"

"I couldn't tell you that. I meant to use the Ocarina of Time to warp to the Temple of Time."

"Well technically you did end up at the Temple of Time. It just doesn't exist here," Faith said sitting down on the ground and closing her eyes. "There's a lot to fill you in on and I don't know all the details." She opened on eye and looked at Mido hoping he would catch her drift.

"I'll help with the details you don't know," Mido said also sitting down.

Faith turned to Link as he sat down. "So are you ready to hear what happened?"

Note: Yeah it was already so long so I decided to make when Link get all the info its own chapter.
