Chapter 12- Discovering Powers
~Freesia~
I was sitting at the kitchen table and made Dark some coffee. We were calm now, and Dark had his hand upon mine. Well, it was calm, until Sheik crashed in, stars dancing around her head.
"You're awake! Both of you!" he squeaked.
"You just noticed that?" asked Dark, giving out a small laugh.
"WELL, YEAH! FREESIA'S ALIVE!!" Sheik cried out in joy.
I took a gentle sip out of my coffee and set it down. "Well, you're not getting rid of me that easily…"
Sheik threw his head back and began to laugh until…
I began to cough.
It was such a wretched cough.
I continued coughing.
My coughs grew rougher and rougher until it grew course, and to a point of where I couldn't breathe.
Dark's hand jerked off of my own and I spilt the coffee by accident. Sheik grabbed me and held me tightly while I coughed hard.
It went on for longer than five minutes and my throat was raw. No matter how hard I tried to stop, it just wouldn't.
I continued, until I began to panic. I had just coughed up blood.
"Dark! Help me get her into the bedroom!" Sheik cried out.
Dark remained frozen in his seat, his eyes wide in fear.
"DARK, DAMNIT, WAKE UP!"
I coughed out more blood, and my hand smacked on the table.
Dark jumped to life and helped Sheik carry me to my room once more.

There she lay once more. The once tan face now turning pale. "Freesia, my flower, stay with me."
She nodded her head, covering her mouth and trying to conceal the blood flowing from her mouth. Sheik soon came with a cloth and began to wipe it away.
I sat next to her and held her hand, tears threatening to low. I swear, I will kill every spider, bug, or creature that dares to get in my way here on out if she dies…
Freesia gave me a smile. Through all of that… pain… she could still smile?
****
~Freesia~

I gave out a small smile as I felt the coughs slow down. The tear in my throat felt tingly and warm. What was happening to me? I felt… happy.
I felt a light squeeze on my arm and I looked to see the bite mark change into a bright and glowing mark. I stared down at it in wonder and observed its intricate swirls.
What was that? A… Was that a… Flower?
The flower began to glow and I looked up at Sheik and Dark in fear, giving out one last terrified cough.
****
~Dark~

The glow surrounded her and I heard Sheik gasp. "Incredible… She's received death and sickness all at once… Now all that's left is her power."
I looked at my love again and the light was at its brightest.
"Oh goddesses!" Sheik got up and scrambled out of the room.
"Hey, where are you going!?"
****
~Zelda/Sheik~
****
I couldn't stand it. The power in the room was growing too strong.
I completely transformed back into my Zelda form as I walked into the room where Sebastian's dead body lay.
"Ppssst! You!" s voice whispered out of nowhere.
My head snapped up as I tried pinning the stupid and loose dress back together. "Who's there?!" I called.
"Look down to your left!"
I did, and was face-to-face with the man Sheik killed.
I jumped back in shock, and then remembered the strange feeling of hatred I felt towards him when I killed him.
"Y-you c-can't b-be a-a-alive!" I stuttered. "You're dead!"
"Hey, I'm just a ghost talking, but you needed o know who was delivering this message…" the voice whispered. "Anyways, since I'm dead in this world, I can go back home and try… Fixing my ways. Don't worry, I'm not going to be in her life anymore, I'm going to move far, far, FAR away."
I nodded, and I averted my eyes from the dead body. "O-okay… It's nice to know that you're going to fix what you did… I can still sense how upset Freesia is from what you did."
"Yeah. I can totally sense it right now… and I'm sorry. I didn't see how carried away I was getting with my feelings. Just tell her that… it was my fault. And I'm going to make up for it."
I shook her head like a dog. "That's not my place. You do it when she gets home."
"That's why I want you to tell her. I don't know when she's coming home!"
I fell silent. "Well," I licked my dry lips, "I'm sure it won't be long. My faith for him is… practically gone."
I heard a scoff. "Don't give up on him yet! He's trying to get here as fast as he can, I'm sure. Plus, you must never forget- Freesia's here to help you. Do not lose hope so quickly, or else you'll lose her."
I nodded and looked around the room and found a folded dress suitable for me to wear. Before I left, I decided to look at Sebastian one last time, but he wasn't there!
"I'm tired of this place… Imma go home. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
I left the room with a final nod.

After Sheik had left, I took my part of the shift and watched over Freesia. The flower on her arm was beautiful, but I didn't get it. What was its purpose?
Freesia soon woke up and she looked at me in confusion. "Are you okay?" she asked.
I looked down at her. "Of all the people to ask…"
A look of disbelief fell upon her face and she laughed gently. "Oh yes, now I remember…"
I took her hand as she stared into space.
"Are you okay?" I asked her.
She looked at me and she smiled. "I feel happy."
I looked down at her, unsure. "Well, your happiness is all I care for so..." I wandered.
She looked up at me and smiled broadly. "So what are we gonna do today?"
I looked down at her insanely. "Uhmm… We're going to…"
What were we going to do?
The door suddenly swung open, and on the other side was someone I rarely saw EVER.
It was the princess Zelda.
Freesia giggled. "Oh, hello Zelda!"
I looked incredulously. "You knew-?"
"Of course! You couldn't tell? She acts so much like a girl when she acts like a guy."
I looked to Zelda, and she shrugged. "Okay, okay. Now that we've done roll call, where are going right now?" I asked.
"GORON CITY!!!" screamed Freesia chirpily.
I looked to her and Zelda stared. "A-are you sure?" she asked.
Freesia got out of bed, dressed in her normal outfit from before, and bounced excitedly by the door. "C'mon!! While he's still there!"
I changed quickly into a new outfit (black t-shirt and something Freesia called 'jeans') and we left the house, Freesia leading the way on a horse.
That's the end of this chapter!! I'll be really happy and surprised if you guess Freesia's power so quickly… (P.S. she's not psychic…)
R&R!! Love you guys!!!
