School had passed on fast after PE that morning. The car ride home was completely like usual, meaning absolute silence. I watched the landscape whip by as our chauffeur drove us home. Tons of people gushed at our immense house and preppy rooms, but truly I felt that they were completely useless. Ok, fine, having a huge house was pretty awesome; and our black Mercedez did always make me grin (if you tell anyone I said that, I will deny it). Our drive home was around 20 minutes, and it was boring. I mean really boring. Have you ever sat in a car with a driver that never talks, and a guy that doesn't do anything but sleep? Yeah, I thought not. Link sleeps whenever he's not at school, doing his crazy workout, or eating (That guy has a huge appetite). Getting back to the story, so I'm watching the same old fields with cows, Mr. Suit-and-Tie (our driver, he insisted on that nickname) is driving silently, and Link is snoring away in an endless sleep.

"Mr. Link, Lady Zelda, we have arrived." Suit-and-Tie said without turning back. I smile at him, saying a quick thanks before jumping out of the car. Link sleepily follows, groaning about a bad dream. Recently thats all he talks about, weird spider monsters to giant fire dragons; I truly am fed up. And plus Octavo gets all interested in them and asks about all the details. Then he goes screaming around about the prophecy once more. I told you my life was crazy.

Ok, back to the story (I get off-track a lot…). Octavo looked up as I walked into the door. I mumbled a little 'hi' before walking up the marble steps to my room. Link didn't follow so I guessed he sat down to talk about his 500 billionth bad dream. Homework was easy. You would think high-school was hard, but truly I had more homework last year. I walked down the stairs (only to trip half-way, I didn't fall on my face this time) and looked up to see a scowling Octavo. He had his huge hands on his waist and was glaring down at me.

"Hurry up, we have a little trip to take." He turned away from me, "The triforce is returning." he cursed under his breath and his strides got bigger. I jogged along side him.

"Octavo, where are we going?" I asked. He didn't even look at me.

"The forest." I stared blankly at him.

"Why?"

He didn't answer, so I shrugged it off. Maybe it was a surprise picnic or something. Turns out I was wrong. I mean horribly wrong. I seriously wished it had been a surprise picnic. Surprise picnics are fun. Food, drinks, sitting in the grass. That sounds fun, right? Giant skeleton monsters jumping out of the ground, random teeny-weeny black devil like creatures pulling on my hair as I get dragged down hill by a wolf-like creature in armour? That doesn't sound fun to me.

Link was waiting at the somewhat entrance of the forest, hands in his denim jacket. He seemed quite confused and a wave of relief washed over his face when he saw us approach. His hand reached up to readjust his green beanie (that he wore all the time). I sent him a questioning look trying to convey my thoughts to his head. Link, what was your dream about? Why are we going in the forest? But sadly he ignored me too (the respect I gain in this family…) and walked into the loom of the trees ahead with Octavo.

"Guys, I don't really want to go in there… Isn't this something you can do alone?" I asked, voice quavering.

"Don't be such a coward and hurry up!" I heard Octavo yell from where I couldn't see. I swallowed the measly spit that was left in my mouth, and took a few unsure strides into the forest. After hearing a few cracks behind me, I freaked out and ran to the boys, hoping for safety.

We walked for a while, in the complete darkness. After at least 10 minutes, a little strand of light was visible, around 30 meters away. A shape waited there, obviously waiting for us. Octavo stopped and turned to Link.

"Stay here. Make sure Zelda here doesn't get brave all of a sudden and jump in between of what might happen." I flinched. Did he really think so lowly of me? Link nodded, and Octavo marched towards the light. Then turned around again.

"Oh and don't come save me either, Link." Link made a mocking salute once Octavo had turned his back to us. I whacked his shoulder gently and gave him a meaningful glare, in which his response was an overly exaggerated roll of his eyes. My glare deepened and I was about to yell at him when a loud deep voice interrupted me.

"Octavo. Its about time." The voice vibrated the floor beneath me, and my natural instinct was to get my legs-a-running out of there. Instead of dashing out of the forest, I was yanked back by Link, and I definitely heard a crack in my shoulder. It was his turn to give me a meaningful glare. He pointed to the patch of light and mouthed one word. It as either 'march' or 'watch', most likely the latter.

"What do you want Markiv?" Octavo snarled, "You already killed George and his wife, what else do you want to kill?"

The man in the hood laughed, "Yes, I did kill them, didn't I? But they were useless. The girl got away, and unless I'm mistaken, you know where she is." Octavo's wide shoulders tensed. Link shot a glance at me. I shrugged, trying to act not worried, even though my face was probably plastered with horror.

"I have no idea where that girl is. She disappeared along with her parents." Octavos voice seemed strained, as if he was on the verge of exploding.

"Yes, disappeared from her town. Not from this one, eh?" I felt a chill twirl up my spine. Was I the 'girl'? I sure hope not. I'm no good under pressure from evil people. Octavo took a step towards the cloaked figure.

"I don't know where she is, but if you lay one finger on her, I will know, and I will come hunt you down." Octavo's voice was full with hatred, and a tinge of fear.

"How do you know I haven't got them now?" The man laughed, "How do you know my minions aren't closing in on them now when you are away from those two?" Octavo flipped around and stared into the darkness, straight at me and Link.

"That idiot!" I hissed, "Now he knows where we are!" Link looked at me, confused.

"Wait, so that guy was talking about you?" He whispered. I let out an exasperated sigh.

"Of course you idiot! What other young girl, who lost her parents, does Octavo know?"

Link stared blankly at me then realized what the whole conversation was about.

"Wait, so that guy wants you? What about-" He never finished his sentence. He was pulled back into the darkness; all I heard now were muffled screams.

"We've got one." The cloak man said, "Here goes the other!"

I was about to yell at him saying something like 'I'm still here genius!' But something pulled on my legs and I paid another little visit to the floor (I was a regular customer).

I turned to the side, groaning. My head was aching in pain, I could hear my heart thumping loudly. I pulled a hand to my head, only to find out they were tied behind my back. I slowly opened an eye. The view seemed familiar, but everything was so blurry I could only make out shapes. I looked over to the left, and saw Link. His face was scrunched up in a scowl, and he had blood dripping from his forehead. He lost his green beanie so his hair sprawled all over the floor. His hands were also tied behind his back, and his feet were held together. Someone yelled from behind me, causing a loud echo in my head. My vision started to shake and once again, I fell unconscious.

The next time I woke up, I didn't move or open my eyes. Someone was hunched over me and talking.

"Are you sure its her, master?" A squeaky voice said from further away

The man next to me jumped to his feet. "Are you questioning my decision?" he growled

"O-Of Course not! I-Its just that, um, last time you got the wro-" The squeaky voice started again but the man interrupted him

"Last time is something forgotten. I know that she is the source." The man snarled, kicking me with his leg.

Pain seared through my body, and I slowly felt myself fall back into unconsciousness.

It was the loud bangs that woke me up the next time. The screaming and the footsteps shook the floor of the building. My eyes opened as fast as they could. I could see a shape knocking down others. The shape looked oddly familiar, and was glowing ever so slightly. My vision focused more and I saw the person doing some weird movements with her hands. Another person ran towards her (I guessed it was a lady) recklessly. A foot flew up and knocked the man meters away. In a few moments, the lady was the only one left standing. It seemed that the man from before had left. The woman's glow died out and she ran towards me. She crouched down, and her face just seemed to ring a bell, I just couldn't lay my finger on her name.

"Come on Zelda, we need to get you out of here." She whispered. She rose my head from the ground gently. Spots started to cloud my vision once again, and soon enough, I was unconscious again.

I was woken up again, I don't know how long I was out cold. I seemed to be in a car, with the lady that saved me driving. Her blond hair was tied up, and her stormy amber eyes looked out onto the road. The it hit me.

"Ms. Tanya?" I whispered. She turned to look at me and smiled. For a moment, I really thought I was dreaming. That is until the car hit a bump and my head smacked the door and seared with pain.

"You should go back to sleep, we have quite a journey to go." Ms. Tanya said, and my eyes slowly closed. This time I wasn't unconscious though.
