A/N This one's a bit in Le's point of view, enjoy!
Chapter 8: An Escape?!
"Raven, wake up!"
Raven murmured something but Unleashed couldn't make it out. As usual, her temper was starting to act up.
"Damn it Raven! If you don't wake up, I'll take over and destroy Castle Town!" Raven didn't even make a sound this time. Now Unleashed has a terribly short temper and it doesn't take much to set her off, so Unleashed was ready to kill someone, anyone at this point. But instead of having her rage take over like normal she had a better idea.
"Raven! SnowScale's here!"
With that, Raven jolted awake. She looked frantically around and soon realized that she had been tricked when she heard Unleashed laughing in her head.
"Very funny Le," Raven mumbled. "Get my hopes up why don't you?"
Unleashed was trying to stifle her laughter, "I'm just surprised you fell for that. I honestly thought that wasn't going to work."
Unleashed calmed down a bit "So, what's the reason you want me to get up?" Raven asked looking to see that it was gray outside.
"Practice." Le answered bluntly.
"Practice what?"
"Flying."
Raven shook her head, "You woke me up because you want to practice flying? We already know how to fly."
"I know, but it's been a while!" Unleashed started to sound irritated. "And I know you've missed flying, since we can't do it on Earth."
Raven nodded, she did have a point. Three point's actually. I had been a while since they had a chance to fly, Raven did miss flying too, and they can't do it back home. Raven sighed in defeat.
"Fine, we'll go flying. But not for long!"
Unleashed didn't care, she didn't want to let it on but she missed flying far more than Raven. She though it was really useful when killing things, the maneuverability when they used their wings was a blissful feeling. As soon as Raven relented, a woman Unleashed could have sworn looked familiar walked in.
"Good morning, Miss Raven." The woman said in a cheery tone.
Unleashed noticed Ravens' face light up, "Morning, Zelda. And I thought I told you to call me 'Raven'?"
"Zelda?" Unleashed asked confused.
"I'll tell you later." Raven quickly whispered to her.
Zelda handed Raven a tray of eggs, and orange juice. Raven took the tray and smiled. "Thanks Zel, you didn't have to."
"She kinda did," Unleashed mutters, "Since you're theoretically not allowed to leave this room."
Raven ignored her like usual. Unleashed sighed, it was a bored sigh. Her and Raven were going to go and fly before Zelda showed up. And what the hell was that about? Why is the princess of f*cking Hyrule waiting hand and foot on Raven?
After what felt like hours, Zelda picked up the now empty tray bid Raven a farewell and left. In that time, Unleashed had put herself in a hostile mood.
"So Le, you ready to go?" Raven's body suddenly created large jet-black raven wings.
"You sure you won't miss your little princess friend if we go?" Unleashed asked bitterly.
Unleashed heard Raven laugh softly. That got on her nerves, "What's so f*cking funny, birdy?"
"Nothing," Raven lied while wiping a tear that formed in her eye when she was laughing.
The answer didn't help Le's mood. She was ready to murder something now.
"Well it must be something, because you don't laugh for no f*cking reason!"
Raven was seeing that Le was in one of her Death-to-all moods, and was starting to get worried. If any of Ravens' blood drops when Le is in this kind of mood, the underworld would be getting some new residents.
"Um…Le, didn't you want to go flying?" Raven tried.
"…Ya…" Raven sighed in relief when Le's anger subsided to minor annoyance. Raven walked to the balcony and spread out her wings. She flapped them once or twice so her body could remember how to use them.
"Do you want to try and leave?" Raven ventured, Le hadn't spoken her entire routine.
"Aren't you the one who said that there might be a barrier surrounding the place?" Unleashed said with a hint of annoyance in her voice.
"Ya…but I did say 'might'." Raven tried to reason. In all honesty, she wanted to leave. She was bored and she wanted to see if SnowScale had made it to Hyrule.
"Then go on and try, it'll be funny if there is a barrier. You'll fly into it like a bird to a window." Le snickered.
Raven shrugged off Le's false doubts. She knew Le wanted out too, however Raven did not know the reasons. Raven started flapping her wings harder and harder. When she decided that the wings were going fast enough, Raven jumped off the balcony. She fell for a few feet, until her wings caught her when she flapped them down again. Raven started to fly away from the castle, slowing slightly when she crossed the gate to the castle. She was still afraid that there was a barrier of some sort. But as she slowly flew across the castle gate, she sighed in relief that there was no barrier. And she soon picked up speed and flew in the direction of Ordon village.
O-O-O
Link looked out the window and saw a large black bird fly off. He thought it looked like one of the large twilight birds that always seemed to live on top of the castle when the Twilight wars were going on. The blonde haired teen soon brought his attention to the stack of papers in front of him. He had been up all night gathering research on demons and the kingdom of Earth. However, Links search was all but helpful. He saw books on many different demons, but he could not find the one that identified the one he had upstairs. He had worse luck on researching Earth. The royal hyrulian libraries had only one book about the place and it was written in a language he could not understand, just his luck.
Link was soon brought from his thoughts by a knocking at the door.
"Come in…" He said in an unpleasant tone. The door opened revealing Zelda, with a tray of food.
"Your food, master." She said as she put the tray in front of him.
Link tiredly nodded, "Thank you,"
Link noticed Zelda fidgeting, "Is there something you need, servant?" He asked in a flat tone
"Well, sir…The thing is…" The girl said fumbling with her words.
Link was starting to get annoyed by it. He stood up out of his chair, put his hands on the desk, and looked her in the eyes. "I have little time to deal with you, if you have a problem I suggest you tell me now."
Link saw the fear in the former princess's blue eyes, it darkly amused him. Ever since he altered her memories, she's been acting like a scared kitten. This slowly brought a smirk to his face and he slowly walked around the desk and stood in front of Zelda.
"There is no reason to be scared," He said in a terrifyingly cool tone, "What do you have to say?"
Zelda was shocked by his sudden change in tone, and managed to calm herself down enough to speak clearly.
"I'm afraid that Raven has escaped milord." She said soon returning to fear when she saw Links' reaction.
"How the hell did the demon escape?" Link yelled furiously. "The only wat out of that room was if she grew wings and flew away!"
Zelda tried explaining that when she went back to her room a short while after she left, because she forgot to tell Raven something, she saw her fly off with black wings.
Link sat on the table of the desk "Leave me." he told Zelda sternly. She quickly obeyed, not wanted to feel her masters' wraith.
After a while, Link started chuckling to himself. "Who knew that the goddesses proclaimed 'crimson Loftwing' could actually fly."
Link looked back out the window, an evil smile forming on his face, "Guess it's time to go bird hunting." And with that statement, Link left the study to look for his runaway demon.
A/N Link is supposed to be an ass for lack of a better word. And don't worry all will get explained (I explained Zelda didn't I?) Any theories about Link yet? I'd love to hear them. RavenThePirate out! :D
