Hey guys! So I have gotten this in several reviews and I want to address it.
My work is rushed and not well written. And you know what? I fully agree. The main problem is well I wrote the first 7 chapters on my phone and I was rushing past exposition to get to the rising action. And I want to fix this. So I am in the process of rewriting the first 7 chapters, and I will update it. If you really want to read it, great. If you don't, don't sweat it.
So anyway, here is chapter 8, I spent half my Saturday writing (And deleting) this chapter so I hope you enjoy!
Link absolutely hated driving. With a deep passion. Just endless roads going on forever. But it had to be done and out of the three, he was the only one capable of driving.
A snort startled him from his half-sleep, and he looked over at Navi. She was sitting, upside down, halfway off the passenger chair, snoring away. Zelda was still asleep on the couch in the back of the RV, dead silent.
What were they gonna do?
They couldn't hide forever... Link had made the decision to hide in the neighboring state, Termina. Kafei, Links old friend, could maybe help them. It was there only shot at survival from Ganon's forces, even if it was temporary.
A shrill ding shook him from his thoughts. He looked down at the dashboard and cursed. "Damn, out gas already..." He looked up at the endless desert, the sun rising in the east. He squinted, his eyes searching for a sign, as gas station, anything.
He finally spotted a small gas station maybe a half a mile away. He looked between the gas meter and the road, making sure he would make it to the secluded gas station. The RV sputtered on its last bit of gas as they pulled up to the pump, and finally wheezed into silence.
Link sighed and stood up. On his way out of the cabin, he tapped Navi on the shoulder. "Hey, I'm gonna be gone a minute, okay?". She half nodded before falling back asleep. Link smirked, walked down the steps of the RV's exit to the rust gas pump. He pulled out the nozzle and stuck it in the side of his RV.
He looked up to see the main building was open, with lights flashing inside and was a small department store. Walking over curiously, he pushed the door open.
The inside wasn't to fancy. It had aisles and fridges in the back with rows of drinks and assorted snacks. Behind the counter, there was a skinny young women who couldn't have been older than Zelda. She had a name tag that read Malon.
"Howdy! What brings you and your," She looked out the window at the massive RV and giggles "trailer park out to these parts?" She had a southern drawl and long red, bouncy hair. She was wearing a short yellow dress that had the word Lon Lon crudely marking each side of her chest.
He gave a small smile "Oh you know vacation, sightseeing, that kind of stuff. Where on our way to Termina." He walked into and aisle and picked up a bag of Bugles and started towards the drinks.
"Really? Last I heard, no one was allowed to pass state lines without good reason. God damn the government for that stupid rule..." She sighed.
"Yeah they... changed that rule..." Link picked up a coke and made his way back to the counter.
"Wow would you look at that!" Malon had turned on a small TV. The news were talking about a mall shooting. Link saw his face on security camera footage and he quickly looked down
"That's terrible." Link was suddenly feeling the rush to get out of the store.
"Well anyway that'll be 32..." She suddenly looked up at his face, and Link watched fear wash over her face as she made the match in her head. Her hand went under the counter and he heard the click of a revolver. Link slowly put his hands up.
"Look, this I'm not gonna hurt you..." He was slowly backing away.
"You... you killed those government agents..." She stood up and pulled the revolver out from underneath the counter.
"No one likes this government. Its oppressive." He was almost begging now. He tried to keep his voice as calm as possible, given the fact it was highly likely he was going to get shot.
"If I let you walk out of here..." She was pushing against the urge to cry.
He was silent.
"Then the G.I.'s are gonna come in here, and ask questions, and kill me because I let a terrorist like you go!" Tears were running down her face. "I can do it! I'm not scared!"
Link exhaled slowly. "Then why haven't you already done it?"
Link could see the choice battling in her mind, just by watching her face. He held his breath waiting for his fate.
Finally after what seemed hours, Malon fell to her knees sobbing, the gun still in her hand.
She looked up at him, glaring, tears in her eyes, and covering her face. "Just go already! I'm letting you go!"
Link stood for a minute watching her, unsure of what to do.
Finally, he turned, and ran.
So there's Chapter... 8! Wow, I've really gotten far!
