Chapter 4:
The Ambush
"Link! You take the one on the right! Eitak, the one on the left!" I cried,
readying my broadsword. The Wolfos eyed me with its topaz-colored
eyes. Then it growled and leaped at me. I put my broadsword up and it clamped
it's jaws on my sword. My legs buckled from the effort of holding it at bay.
---------Link's POV--------
I swung my sword at the Wolfos. It missed by a hair's breadth and my sword
smashed into a tree trunk while the Wolfos did its equivilant to laughter,
watching as I tried to yank my sword from the trunk. I freed my blade and
twisted, letting go of the handle. The Wolfos then yelped and jumped to a
nearby branch as the blade streaked past. However, I managed to hit it this time,
and when I jumped up to pull out the sword it had the Wolfos's left arm pinned
to the trunk. Blood streamed from it's wound. I smiled as I pulled the sword out.
Below me, the other two were just as occupied.
-----Eitak's POV-----
I yelled as the Wolfos jumped past. Its claw sunk into my sword arm, and with a
grunt I was forced to drop the weapon. The Wolfos landed on it's feet, skidding
to a stop several feet away. I held my arm and jumped backwards as it jumped
at me again. Then I called, "Durza! Sword!" he grabbed my sword in mid-jump,
twisted and threw it at me. I ducked and caught it, then stabbed it. It howled
and died, the Wolfos's full weight falling on me. "Oh my god," I whispered,
straining to hold it up with one hand while extracting my sword. "What do
these things eat?" I then decided I did not want to know, and I jumped
into the brush to watch the other two.
---Link's POV---
I backflipped and thrust my sword into it's fur. With a growl, the Wolfos
twisted and bit my shoulder. But I had scored a hit, and it's tail fell
away. My shoulder was blasted with mind-numbing pain, and with a
yell of anguish I thrust my elbow into the side of its face. It yelped
and landed on its side in the dirt, its right eye twitching from where
I struck it. Then it got back up, swaying from all the hits it had taken. Luckily
it had chosen to nibble on my shield arm. The bad thing about this was
I no longer had a means of defense, but I could still wield my
sword. I charged and caught it on the hip, blood now flowing from all three
wounds. I was surprised it hadn't passed out from blood loss. Then
it roared defiantly, swaying left and right as it made a final attempt
to throttle me. I swiftly sidestepped and, with deadly percision,
beheaded the beast. The head flew through the air and landed in the underbrush
where I heard an ''Ewww!!'' Guessing that's where Eitak had chosen to hide.
----My POV---
The Wolfos was different from the others. It had spikes on its shoulders, many
scars all over it, and it lacked any fear.
Lovely. I've got a deranged Wolfos Alpha on my hands.
I charged with a yell and swung my broadsword. It jumped and struck out with
it's claw. I caught it with my hand, ignoring the excruciating pain
radiating from my hand as the claws sunk deep into my skin. I used it's
strength against it and swung my arm. It was forced to let go, else it would hit
a tree. It landed and charged again. Panting, I brought my sword into a vertical
strike just as the Wolfos Alpha tried once more, blocking the blow from its teeth.
Then I kicked it in the chin, distracting it enough to allow me to twirl, then with
good timing strike the side of its face. A gaping wound shone at me as the
shuddered away. Probably returning to the pack, I decided. I let it go.
If it was going to return for revenge with the pack, I'd let it. I could
use all the practice I could get. I then checked on the other two before
we hitched our packs back onto our backs and continued to the Temple
of Time.

Woohoo! How's THAT for an action scene?
Link: Pretty good, I'll admit. So I DID kill it, right?
Yup.
Link: I am content, then.
Be sure to look out for Chapter 5!
Midna: I still want to know what my part is...
You'll know by Chapter 7.
Midna: Swear?
Swear.
Midna: Good! Review!
