Chapter 13

I felt myself put back together and shuddered when it was done. Still a creepy feeling, I thought noticing the air felt very humid. Hearing a strange gasping noise behind me I turned my head to look for the source, finding it to be several Zora I simply turned, put the hood on my cloak up and walked off. Nearing the exit of the cave I heard something behind me once again. I turned, my hood still up, and my cloak now encircling my body. Slightly in the distance, about where I had just warped I saw Midna riding Link's wolf form. For a brief second I thought about rushing over. Then Zant's words flashed through my head I got the feeling she hated you, it played over in my head until I shook it off. "Hey you," I heard Midna's voice call out. I looked up and saw her pointing straight at me and Link growling. I turned and ran towards the waterfall hearing a wolves' paws padding against the ground behind me. I leaped off the edge aiming myself away from the water and towards the ground slightly off to my left, holding the cloak close so as not to show my armor and give away my identity. I landed with a thud bending my knee to absorb most of the shock running through my body.

Despite this shock I was off and running down an increasingly cold pathway that I quickly found to be blocked by a solid wall of black. I heard a splash behind me and turned to see Midna and Link swimming to shore. I turned back to the wall, stuck my claws in and just as I thought absorbed away the blackness, unleashing a blast of cold wind on myself. I shivered slightly and ran forward, coming to a partially frozen lake, some of the chunks had broken apart and were freely floating about. I turned back once again to see Link still hot on my trail. "Damn him," I mumbled under my breath and saw Link's ears perk up and he turned his head to look directly at me. Duh, wolf equals good hearing, shut your mouth idiot, I thought scolding myself for my stupidity. Link came within five feet and I decided to take a serious risk and jump across the floating ice. Please... don't... sink, I thought each word just as I was about to bound off another piece of ice. Landing on the other side I quickly ran up the mountain path. I wasn't exactly sure where I was going, I only knew which way was up and continued heading that way until I managed to find what I was pretty sure was the summit. There was a tree and a large creature which I could call no such other thing then a yeti.

The yeti turned and looked at me but just stared for a moment with his big almost dumb looking eyes and then turned back to the slope he was looking down. I heard a noise behind me and turned to see Link being attacked by several shadow beasts and a slew of ice keese. I grabbed my sickle and turned my left arm into its bow form, almost certain Link could not see me with these sudden blizzard winds that had picked up. I took aim at the shadow beasts but my heart skipped a beat and I couldn't release the arrow. Angered I was forced to release my emotion somewhere so I took aim at the keese and pulled the string back with all four of my fingers, spawning three arrows. I released and they flew perfectly along the path I had set in my mind for them, all curving to hit all of the keese and avoid Link and the Twili beasts. I quickly reverted my arm adn put away the sickle as Link defeated the shadow beasts. Link has killed some of those shadow beasts, but I killed thousands... all at once too, I thought nearly losing track of the fact Link was now walking over in his human form.

Snapping out of my trance I looked down at the slope and then at the tree beside me. Almost as a reflex to my panic I kicked the tree causing an icicle that looked as though the wind was blowing when it froze to fall out, looking almost perfect to hold someone slightly secure in it if they were to stand on it. Again without my conscious thought my body acted and I jumped on the large shard of ice and I began sliding down the slope like I was snowboarding. Are you kidding I've rarely been snowboarding ion my life and now I'm doing it to survive, HOLY CRAP,I thought narrowly avoiding slamming right into a wall. After a while I realized I was better to let my instincts take over then to try and figure out how to control the thing myself. My plan worked and I had reached the bottom just in time to leaping onto and over the roof of the home I had just reached. I had heard Midna call out to me to wait but I couldn't bring myself to speak with her yet. Instead I sat on the roof awaiting their completion of the dungeon, I had a feeling they may need me again later, but not for this place.

Suddenly I felt my heart pound a single heavy beat and my reflexes took over as I dodged an attack from above that I had not even the foggiest idea was coming. Wide eyed I searched for my attacker and found it to be Kris, huffing and puffing, I could see her breath clearly in these bone chilling temperatures. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME," she screeched at me causing me to almost fall backwards.

I remained in my monotone zombie emotion, "I'm not quite sure what you mean..."

"YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHAT I MEAN, I HAVEN'T BEEN ANYTHING BUT ANGRY FOR THE LAST LITTLE WHILE!"

I thought about this for a moment and then realized what had happened and found it rather funny. Due to my lack of control over my emotions however I now found this ridiculously hilarious. I started rolling around laughing, barely able to breath. "Ah.. oh crap... AHHAHA... oh dear, it's really not that funny at all but I have the same issue as you."

"DON'T BOTHER TALKING, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU FOR DOING THIS," Kris roared at me.

I stopped my laughing fit and returned to my monotone emotion just in time to dodge a swift right hook from Kris. "No really... whoa! If you would just let me explai... eahh!" I attempted to explain but was forced to think fast as she came at me angrily. After a few minutes of dodging I grew angry with this and finally got fed up with it. "ALL RIGHT ENOUGH," I yelled grabbing her right fist with my left hand and her left with my right. I summoned forth my helm and pulled Kris toward me by both arms smashing her head against my own. She stumbled backwards then lunged forward with another roar. "Down girl!" I yelled smashing my clawed glove on her head forcing her to fall to the ground. "Now shut up and listen! I can't control my emotions either, Zant injected me with something. The fact you can't control your emotions confirms my hunch that you and I are like... mirror images of each other, well... besides the fact your female and I'm male."

She seemed to calm down at this. "So you mean, I'm kinda like you as a girl?" I thought about it and nodded. "So are we like... related then," she asked and I simply shrugged. Suddenly Kris got a look of alarm in her eyes, "Look out!" She grabbed me and tossed me aside getting pushed back by the large ice spear that had nearly nailed me right in the back of the head. I gulped and looked to the source, finding it to be a pack of living ice humanoids. They seemed to care little for Kris, taking aim at me once again they all began throwing spears.

"What the hell did I do," I said ducking, rolling and jumping around ice spears.

"Not sure but they sure aren't members of your fan club," she laughed. I let out a fake sarcastic laugh and grabbed my sickle changing it to a bow and aiming amongst the ice men. I released the arrow just as I heard Kris yell out again. The ice men all blew into hundreds of shards just as I felt a sharp cold pain in my back.

"Gack," I coughed trying to speak. I heard the thing shatter behind me and felt the source of the sharp pain removed. Kris came over and smacked me lightly on the face.

"You all right?"

"It's gonna take more then that to kill me," I said coughing again, suddenly feeling strange.

"Glad to hear i... do you feel weird?"

"Yea, I kinda feel... calm..." I said my eyes suddenly glazing over. My back still stung a little but I just didn't seem to really care.

"No, I meant... I feel... angry," she growled obviously trying to hold it back. I yawned and nearly fell asleep, Ah, I get it... that spear had an injection, it made me lose my anger, but made me feel calm to the extreme right away.It was obvious Kris had figured this out as well. "I feel as though I'm slowly growing calmer though," she said and I noticed my ability to remain aloof was deteriorating as well. I stood up and yawned again, I walked slowly around the roof towards a large locked door that looked like it was in a slightly separated tower that was near the middle and back of the building. (I apologize for the bad description to anyone who has not played the game :P) I looked over at it and saw a large door locked by a blue-heart lock, I heard Kris walking quickly behind me to catch up. When I drew near the tower itself however I felt a strange sensation run through my body and I was pushed back nearly five feet. Surprised I glanced over at the door to see Link walking inside after a smaller yeti then the one I had seen at the top of the mountain. "Whoa, what was that," Kris asked but I walked on, a little quicker this time, my calmness leaving me ever more. Again I was thrown back and again I picked up more speed as I ran at it again.

I was thrown back a final time then suddenly all the windows of the tower shattered with a blood curdling screech. Not caring anymore I full out sprinted at the invisible force rejecting my path. I formed up my helm just before impact and pushed as hard as I could, finally breaking through. I rolled and landed right next to the tower, I could hear Link fighting within but by the sounds of it by this time he had already won. I heard the yeti from the top of the mountain speaking and then suddenly my heart beat louder then normal. It was nothing he had said, my heart had just beat extra hard and I felt, different to say the least. I clenched my chest and backed away, "I've gotta get out of here, I'll see you later Kris," I said teleporting off to Castle Town (I just played TP after a while there and realized "Hyrule Town" as I continually called it is called "Castle Town" so my bad, I'm not going to fix any of the previous ones but from now on I will call it Castle Town as it is named).

I reformed at the east gate as usual and ran into town working my way easily through the crowd not even noticing the sky was beginning to grow dark. I headed straight for Telma's Bar and was there in no time. I entered with my hood down and was greeted warmly by Telma and the others. I noticed that of the people in the back, one had disappeared but another had replaced him. The new person was a female, who looked very much warrior like. I looked over at Telma and realized something, "Um, hey look Telma, could you and those... er... guys not tell Link I've been around lately?" She looked puzzled and I quickly explained without her having to ask, "Look, he hangs out with a certain friend, but she's... let's says shy and doesn't really show herself around a lot of people and I did something that I'm pretty sure pissed her off so just don't tell Link because he may not seem like it but he's a big blabber mouth!" Telma laughed but nodded and I continued talking, "So quickly then before he shows up, where be the newest activity?"

I went over to the map and they told me they sent off Rusl to the Faron province to find the Sacred Grove, well they didn't specifacally say it but they told me what he was in search of and I remembered the place since I nearly died there. Not wasting any time I went outside waving and putting up my hood as I went out. I quickly found myself glad in doing so as Link ran around the corner just as I entered the alley that lead to Telma's Bar. I stood there frozen for a second as did he until Midna snapped us both to when she yelled, "You!" Panicking for a brief moment Link drew close and then I remembered, Guh, I can teleport now. I did exactly that and Link caught nothing but air as the tiny black squares that were me flew off into the air, heading for Faron Woods. I rematerialized and stopped for a moment to rest.

I walked on and to no surprise Link was hot on my trail as I heard him materialize right behind me. I turned and saw him shift back into his light form, drawing his sword. Not wasting a moment I dashed off toward the forest temple and cut right leaping off tree branches to reach the grove. I knew Link would take some time to catch up since he could not leap like this except in wolf form, which he could not enter due to Rusl's presence. I made it over the gorge to where the howl stone was, and sat down for a rest again. Suddenly I heard a strange clucking noise and looked up to see Link flying. Then I realized he was holding a golden cucco. I quickly jumped to my feet and ran ahead into the woods but stopped, confused to why I should keep running I stuck my hands out to my sides and shook my head. I was about to snap myself out of it wen I felt something fall into my right hand.

I looked over and could not hold back my utter happiness, "NO WAY!" There resting in the palm of my hand was a red extremely juicy looking apple, not waiting I took a huge bite smiling at the familiar crunch of my favorite fruit back on Earth. I looked up and saw a whole bunch of apples in the tree above me. "So many... apples, I must have them all," I said leaping into the tree picking as many apples as I could stashing them in a pouch on the back right side of my waist that I had no idea was there until I had started stashing the fruit there. I filled the pouch as full as I could, so it was bulging with apples, then I threw away the core of the one I was eating and grabbed four more. I jumped out of the tree just in time for Link and Midna to come running in. I sweat dropped and turned to run feeling something grapple around my leg. Dammit, cursed apples... how could you betray me so? I thought falling flat on my face dropping three of the apples I held in my hands. I scrambled towards them but was suddenly flipped onto my back violently and felt my hood fall back. "Oh crap," I said reaching for the hood to no avail.

"C-Chris, but... what," Midna said utterly confused. I unlatched Midna's large hand from my legs and gathered the scrambled apples, rubbing them clean on the inside of my cloak. I threw one to Midna and one to Link. "Why the h-"

"Shut up and listen to me for a sec, I'll explain," I said stopping Midna from shouting at me. "First of all, Zant captured me as you may already know, and he told me you hated me so I wished to hide until I could figure things out," I said remembering I had a whole new slew of powers including the increased power of my mental abilities. Including one I both loved and hated, the power of my mind reading could be amplified so high that I could see memories, to a certain degree at least. I delved into Midna's memories at this moment and saw that Zant had lied, telling Midna I knew what the shadow beasts were and yet still so willingly killed all of them. "Midna, I was dropped into a room f shadow beasts, I... had to fight to defend myself... it was not until after I had destroyed all of them that Zant came forth and told what I had just done," I tried to explain but she simply turned away puffing up her cheeks with anger. I would have been angry at her had I been able to feel that emotion any longer. "Fine then," I said grabbing her and Link by the head and forcing the memory of that giant room filled with shadow beasts into their heads. Living that moment a second time through did not help my mental state as the memory finished I fell to my knees, nearly sobbing.

Midna had a new expression on her face, of what I could not tell at this moment, but our conversation was interrupted by that dastardly little skull kid. My emotions flaring wildly out of control I rushed at him swinging as he flipped backwards and dissappeared. I looked around quickly and found him again I couldn't even think to explain the emotions running through me as I rushed the skull kid over and over, not even sure if Link and Midna were following or not. He had hopped out onto a tree to attempt to catch his breath but my eyes watering on the brink of snapping I drew my bow and fired an arrow that flew wildly out of control missing the skull kid and exploding when it hit a tree nearly twenty feet behind him. I finally stopped briefly to catch my breath looking out over the small circle of ruins he had brought Link to before. I felt my strange frenzy of emotions building once again and just as I was about to rush out and look for the skull kid again I felt something large pull me backwards to a sitting position.

"Let go," I yelled at a volume that surprised even me.

"Not until you cool it," I heard Midna's voice say from behind me. I got to my feet and struggled against her huge hand finally losing my temper completely I spun quickly pulling Midna in closer and unsure of my actual intentions I reached out and grabbed her by the head, my hand nearly encircling her head. My intentions however did not matter as I was then thrust into a very large series of memories that I wish I had never seen. All of which I was forced to watch, but not through my own eyes, instead, it was through Midna's.

Wow, been a while since I updated, I'm kinda rushing through some parts but the parts I like I can't seem to stop writing about. OH! before I forget I would just like to thank all those who favourited this story. Things are going to get very interesting, soon as I get time to write again, gotta study for finals.
