Chapter 2

"Zelda?" Zelda's mother, the only parent at home at the time, knocked on the door furiously. "Zelda what is going ON in there?" She tried opening the door but it had been locked earlier by Zelda so she could have some privacy.

"Uh... Its alright mom. Just... watching a freaky movie, had the volume up to loud..." Zelda lied. Although even in her own ears it sounded completely horrible. She looked at the angel with a worried look, it seemed as if her guardian were about to faint very soon.

"Zelda, you don't LIKE freakish movies like that. Open the door!" Her mother demanded.

Zelda propped Pit up with her arm and helped him towards the closet, lying him down on the old quilts she never used, trying not to grimace at the blood. She shut the door slowly, turned on her TV and flipped it to the first horror movie she could find, then paused, right before the cop died.

Opening the door, Zelda put on her calm demeanor, "I actually started to like them over the summer." This time, her lies came out smoothly, much to her surprise. "Weird too because the movie that got me to LIKE horror movies was 'I Know What You Did Last Summer'. Ironic, right?" Zelda sat on her bed and leaned back slightly in exasperation.

Her mother looked around as she entered. "But you screamed... and all the ruckus up here..."

"I really did get freaked out, though." Zelda's fingers came upon something wet on her bed. She turned her head slightly and saw a few drops of blood on the comferter, and the floor. She prayed hard for her mother to leave soon without noticing.

"Hmm. Alright then. Keep it down up here, would ya?" Her mother closed the door and Zeldad shot up and opened her closet door. Unfortunatly, the angel had passed out on the quilts, and Zelda frowned. She's definately going to need some help...

Peach's phone ringed mid-sentence. That always seemed to happen to HER. She answered, "Go for Peach."

"Peach! Are you busy? Please say you aren't." Zelda's voice sounded slightly frantic, which meant she was trying to sound at ease. Peach shook her head with a smile, knowing her friend all too well.

"Nope. Not busy at all." She shot a glance at the person standing before her, his expression completely calm and patient. "What's the matter?"

"I've got a boy in my closet, sleeping and I need help moving him." Zelda said in a rush. Peach's eyes widened. Zelda, the innocent, sweet, clueless, Zelda had a boy in her CLOSET. What the hell? Peach thought.

"Uh... Okay... I'll help?" Peach said slowly. "See you when I get there." She hung up and looked towards Ike. "As for YOU. I wouldn't dream of going out with a dog like you." Peach turned on her heel, her hair whipping behind her and strode off towards Zelda's house.

::::::::::

Zelda paced back and forth, waiting for Peach. Every now and then Zelda would peak her head out the window for Peach and each time the blonde, pink loving girl never made her way up the pavement, Zelda's anxiety grew. She flipped out her phone again and called her neighbor, Link. She could trust him, and he could be here quickly. "Link, pick up, pick up, pick up..."

"Hello?" Link answered.

"Link! Can you come over? I really need you over here, fast. Its urgant." Zelda pleaded.

"Sure. What's going on?" Link asked.

"I'll... tell you when you get here. Just please hurry!" Zelda hung up the phone.

::::::::::

Zelda's phone call puzzled Link, but he left his house and walked up the side walk and down the pavement to Zelda's house. Peach, as well, was there already knocking ont he door.

"Peach? She called you too?" Link asked as he waited by his friend. Peach looked sincerally puzzled, a look Link was sure he mimiced at the same moment.

"Yep. Do you know what's going on?" Peach asked right when Zelda opened the door. She took the two teens wrists and dragged them inside, taking them up to her room. Link and Peach gave hurried greetings to Zelda's mother before being dragged up the stairs.

Once they were in Zelda's room, Link and Peach stood, waiting for Zelda to explain. Only when she did, neither of the two best friends would completely believe the brunette until she showed them the sleeping body of a supposed angel.

::::::::::

Zelda, Peach, and Link picked the boy's body up and placed him on his stomach upon the bed. "Have you ever seen fake wings bleed?" Zelda argued quietly, not wanting to wake the, to what she believed, angel.

"Come ON Zelda! Angels don't... EXIST. And if they do, they don't come down the earth for no reason." Peach crossed her arms over her chest.

"But he had a reason. He was protecting me from this... absurd looking shadow creature. I could of died, but he saved me..." Zelda looked down at the boy, his soft features, messy hair, and the rise and fall of his body from his heavy breathing.

"Zelda..." Peach began.

"No. Peach. If you don't believe me, then leave. I don't need one of my closest friends thinking I'm crazy." Zelda looked at her, angry.

Link cleared his throat, "If this is all happening... how can we even possibly help him?"

"I don't know-" Zelda was cut off by a blinding flash of light in the center of her room. Zelda, and the rest of her friends, shielded their eyes.

For a few moments, all she could see was white, but once her vision cleared, Zelda saw a golden, curly haired girl hovering over Pit with a vial of red liquid she poured slowly into his mouth. The liquid was very strong, Zelda could smell it from where she stood, about two feet away from where Pit laid. Zelda covered her nose, blocking out the fumes.

The girl looked up towards the trio, a frown on her face, but she immediately brightened up once she said, "Hi! I'm Dazzle."
