Chapter 10:Up The Hills and Around The Mountain We Go

Cat's P.O.V.

Morning broke, and the sun poked through the window. It was a blinding light that was a very unpleasant awakening. I mumbled and shoved my face into the pillow, hoping to obtain a few more minutes of sleep. Yet, my attempts were futile. I groaned and reluctantly got up. I walked over to Jade and shook her slightly.

I whispered, "Jaaade…Jaaaade…Jade wake up you lazy ass."

That didn't work. So I did the only thing that would work to wake them all up.

I shouted at the top of my lungs, "WAKEY WAKEY EGGS AND BAKEY!"

They all screamed and jumped about 3 feet in the air. I couldn't help but laugh so hard that I was rolling on the floor.

I yelled through laughing, "You…should have…seen your faces!"

They all growled in union, "Yeah, real funny Cat."

"I thought so."

We ate breakfast, made by the lady of the house. We cleaned our plates, thanked her, and walked out the door. We walked through the gate that was ironically open, and up in Death Mountain.

"This is so…damn…painful…" Jade grumbled as we hiked up the elevating trail.

Link rolled his eyes, "It's not that bad."

She glared at him, "Easy for you to say…"

I glanced at them, unsure why their usual talking had suddenly returned. What happened to the smiles and "thank you"?

Jade's POV

Pain had finally redefined itself. If it weren't for evil monsters that wanted to kill you every second or limitless depths beyond a cliff, there was hiking. And hiking was a pain. Not only that, but we had to dodge rolling rocks and gorons every few seconds. Try getting run over those…

"Link?" I smiled at him.

He raised his eyebrows curiously, "Yeah?"

"How bad does it hurt to get run over by those rocks?"

He rolled his eyes and looked away. Something came crashing down to the ground, rocking it under our feet. "You'll find out if you don't move."

I narrowed my eyes at him, "Huh?"

Yeah, so maybe I should have paid attention to the rolling boulder coming my way because in an instant, I was being tackled to the dirt ground by something undoubtedly strong. For a second I thought it was the boulder ready to squash me, and then I thought it was Link. Wrong again. Egh, lucky me.

The person huddled over me, with brown hair and hazel eyes, had undeniably, irrevocably, indisputably saved my life.

And at that moment, my body felt like going into a spasm, but I was afraid if I moved, I would somehow slap him or kick him somewhere where it hurt.

"Are you all right?" he asked, glancing down at me worriedly.

With my eyes wide, I nodded numbly.

He smirked slightly, "Less eye-candying next time."

"You…" I rasped as he stood up.

"Me, what?" he whispered, walking away as Catherine helped me up to my feet.

She glanced at me worriedly, and I turned to her to smile assuredly.

"Thanks."

"Careful next time." She said, a smile forming.

I laughed nervously, glancing at Kado from where he stood not too far away, gazing up the trail. "I'll try."

"Hey," Link caught our attention, "We're here."

Cat and I said in union, "Oh thank the goddesses!"

Cat's P.O.V.

We walked into the humongous cave city full of rock people known as gorons. It was insane…and very high.

I said, fear apparent in my voice, "There isn't a chance of death through falling from here…is there?"

Link chuckled slightly and said, "I'm sure it's fine. Come on."

Link, being the risky dude he is, jumped from the top, and rolled to the bottom without even a scratch on him. I just shook my head, and found a way to the bottom from the stairs. Next to the door of Darunia's chamber was a medium sized goron.

The goron sat up and asked, "Link? Is that you?"

Link nodded, "Yeah, it's me. Do I know you?"

"It's me, Link the goron! My father felt a disturbance from the fire temple, so he ran there as fast as he could. Is that where you three are going?"

Link replied, "Yes, it is. Do you think me and my, 'friends' Jade and Kado could get some fire tunics? Cat is already wearing one."

Little Link cheered, "Of course! Just wait a second and I'll be back with 3 of them. They adjust to your size, as long as you're close to being an adult."

Little Link ran off, then came back a few seconds later with three goron tunics. He gave one to each of them, and they quickly changed into their new clothing.

Jade commented, "Wow Cat, if someone didn't know better, they'd think we were twins!"

I laughed, "You're right! Funny, isn't it? Anyway, let's get to the fire temple so we can get out of there as fast as possible."

Kado asked, "Why are you hoping to get out of there fast?"

I paused and said, "Because my body doesn't process mass amounts of heat well, fire-proof clothing or not."

Link and Kado sighed, and said, "Well, if that's the case, then we WILL have to get out of there quickly. Let's just hope this one's smaller than the forest temple."

We walked out to the broken bridge and each of us hookshotted across to the other side. We walked to the hole, which had a ladder that leads to the dungeon. Link stupidly jumped from the very top.

Jade yelled down, "LINK YOU IDIOT! Why would you POSSIBLY jump from the very top? YOU COULD HAVE KILLED YOURSELF!"

Link, after regaining his composure, yelled back up to her, "BECAUSE IT'S FASTER! EITHER WAY, JUST GET YOUR ASSES DOWN HERE!"

Kado jumped down the hole much like Link did, except that he landed more gracefully than Link.

Jade mumbled, "You showoff."

Jade and I just took the ladder down to the bottom of the hole. We all walked into the temple, wondering what the real version of it would look like.

We walked up to a stone, much like the one in the forest temple.

Jade sighed, "Well, you know the drill."

"Yup."

Jade and I stuck our swords into the stone, which created a warp hole. Kado had mysteriously disappeared from the scene. Jade, Link, and I all got sucked into the warp hole. It wasn't as fun as it was the first time around, considering this time I was going face first.

GDL: And there you have it. xbluxmoonx wrote the last few parts of the first Cat's p.o.v. part. She also wrote Jade's p.o.v. Anyway, R&R.
