A/N: I feel like I messed up somewhere...Can you guys please let me know where? Cause I can't tell if I did or not myself.

Three Chances, Three left

Chapter 2

*Vaati P.O.V.*

"P-please stay away! I-I'll leave you be! Y-y-you won't see me again after this!"

"Miss, calm down, I have no intent to harm you. There's no need to be so scarred of me."

From the stories I'd heard, I never thought the actual spirit swordswoman was so...Timid to put it lightly. And I had no idea that the spirit she was connected to was so cruel towards her. Now here she was, trembling, on the ground, trying to get me to leave her alone out of pure terror. I'd just gotten the spirit to leave her be for now, and yet she was so frightened. I had to resist the urge to just pick her up and hold her until she calmed down.

She looked at me with terrified, tear filled green eyes, wincing each time a tear drop came in contact with a cut on her face or fell onto a scrape on her arm.

"At least let me patch you up, you're obviously hurt, and those wounds could get infected."

"I-I can t-take care of t-them myself..."

"Will you quit whining and crying Corona! Sorry there lilac boy, but we don't need your help! Helping her will just make the weakling depend on others even more! Ugh, why couldn't I be chained to someone else?!"

Ah, the spirit was up, and now he was insulting the poor girl, Corona I believe her name was, again. Did he do this every chance he got? I didn't think she deserved it. He was probably why she was so frightened.

"Sorry Spirit, but I already see signs of an infection getting ready to start on her cheek. If she doesn't get medical attention soon, it will get infected, and she will get sick and possibly die."

"The names Dreadison, not Spirit! And I'm called Dread!"

"I can see why...With the amount of that emotion you bring to this poor girl."

If I could have seen the spirit's face, he would've had a look of pure shock for a moment.

"Fine, heal the weakling. But this is the only time anything like this is going to happen Corona!"

"Y-y-y-yes." She was trembling, but not as much as before. That most likely ment that I could get close to her and heal her. Maybe she was less frightened now that I'd gotten Dreadison to let her be healed, and that she was grateful for doing that.

*Corona P.O.V.*

"Now, where did you get so many of these scrathces and bruises?"

"D-dread."

"Tell him why don't you, you little-"

"I swear Dreadison, if you don't stop insulting her right now, I'm going to turn you to stone."

"Pfft. That'd be a blessing to me. I wouldn't have to stare at her ugly face all the time or hear her damn voice."

" 'Ugly' you say? I do believe Lady Corona here is far from that."

"Ugh...Just heal her so we can leave!"

Well, this man was earning my trust by the second with the way he was going at it with Dread. Most would be too terrified to stand up for me towards him, and The Wind Mage was doing it like it was a breeze. Er... No pun intended.

"This may sting a little, but it's the quickest way."

I nodded, and then his hands were enveloped by a warm light, then the light surrounded me, blinding me momentarily. It did sting, but it vanished along with the light quickly.

"There. Any scrapes, claw marks, bruises, scratches, or broken bones are no longer there."

"T-t-thank you."

"You're welcome. Oh, I never introduced myself. My name is Vaati, and your's is?"

"You already heard it lilac boy!"

"It's proper to ask a lady what her name is even if you've heard it before."

"I-I'm Corona."

"Hmm, 'the sun's ring', very fitting. Now, can you tell me why you're out here by yourself with...Dreadison."

"I'm j-just wandering...No, looking for someone..."

"Who might that be?"

"I can't remember his name...But he wears a green tunic, an odd hat, brown blonde hair, looks sorta rouge like in the face, and like an adventurer."

I saw Vaati stiffen, and I flinched involuntarily. To me, if somebody stiffened, they were angry, and those who were angry with me... It normally never ended well.

"I haven't seen him, but if the two of us meet again, I'll let you know if I have. How does that sound?"

"T-thank you."

"You're quite welcome."

He took my hand in his and placed a gentle kiss on it. My heartbeat went out of control at the contact, and my face began to feel very warm.

"Okay you two, you've had your fun! Now let's go! I don't wanna spend even more time here seeing him flirt with you!"

"Sorry sorry sorry sorry!" I put my hands up over my head, out of instinct to protect myself from any blows he'd send my way.

"S-sorry Vaati, I-I-I really have to go."

"It's alright, in fact, I know we'll see each other again. Stay safe, where ever you go."

I nodded, and let myself be pulled along by Dread thanks to the chain, waving good-bye to Vaati.

'He wasn't as horrible as everyone else made him out to be. I just hope that if we do meet again, he won't find me like that again...'

*Vaati P.O.V*

I sighed as I watched Corona leave with Dreadison, wishing that I could've found out how she knew about Link since she was obviously very nervous around others, as well as why she was looking for him.

Pushing those thoughts aside, I decided to focus on Corona alone. She was affected by the harsh treatment of Dreadison, whose heart was filled with darkness. He was the exact definetion of what some called a bully. But there was something about Corona that she was trying to hide, trying not to let be seen. If it was her terror she didn't do a very good job of hiding it. The slightest movement would cause her to flinch or curl up defensively.

But I could tell, underneath that fear and anxiety, was a powerful woman who just wanted to overcome her fears, but wasn't able to. I wanted, no, needed to meet her again. Not only would she have been useful in getting rid of Link, but a grand compainion once I got her out of her shell.

'Little sun ring, don't fret, I'll make sure we meet again, whether you want us to or not. I'll even get rid of Dreadison for you. You won't compare to the other maidens, for no one outshines the sun.'

Make haste Link

One of your selves must find her

For she's next on Vaati's list the next time he sees her

So hurry, or else
