Nick's PoV:

... The door slams shut behind us... We hear evil laughing... We look around, frantically. Suddenly, Dr. Lanford falls to the floor... I step back and gasp. Suddenly, a hand's placed over my mouth, and a knife's placed up against my throat. I gasp. "Don't move, boy... I'll kill you..." I nod. I'm so scared... "Now, let's take care of you..." I scream, as he puts the knife away and drags me to... wherever he's dragging me to...

Saria's PoV:

I'm worried about Dr. Lanford and Nick... They've been gone too long... So, I run to find Maria. I find her, sitting on a bench, watching Leah and the others play... I say, "Maria, I have a bad feeling... Dr. Lanford and Nick have been gone an awful long time..."

"Alright. Leah will be fine here with the other Kokiri. Come on, Saria," Maria says. We head over to the Training Ground, where the horses are being kept, get on, and leave the Kokiri Forest...

Nick's PoV:

I'm dragged in to the living room, up on to a chair. My arms are forced behind the chair and tied together. "What are you doing?..." I ask, scared.

"What ever my dark heart desires..." My step-Father says, in a creepy tone, who doesn't sound like my step-Father... Suddenly, I'm knocked over the head with a large, long stick. I yell out in pain. Dr. Lanford, please, help me! Then, I'm jabbed in the stomach with the same stick. I hold in the yell that wants to burst from my throat! "This is only the beginning!" I'm grabbed by my hair, and my head's tilted back. I start to whimper, when I see him pull out a knife from his pocket... Then, the most agonizing pain I ever felt happens: he starts to cut my neck! Though, very slightly, so it doesn't kill me... I hold back the scream that wants to burst from my throat! Though, tears do stream down my face... My step-Father, who I believe isn't really my step-Father, chuckles, evilly. "Now, look what I did, boy," He grabs a small mirror off one of the tables in the living room. He holds it up in front of me, and there's something written on my neck! I'm able to read it backwards. It says: Ganondorf was here... I start to cry, as I look at what's permanently written on my neck... Embarrassment... Humiliation... Anger... Pain... I feel all these mixed emotions... "Ha ha ha... It's just a small symbol, boy, for people to know that I was here... This is small, compared to what I have waiting for you next... Ha ha ha!" Suddenly, I'm knocked unconscious with the large, long stick...

Maria's PoV:

Saria and I are on Hyrule Field. Dear Goddesses, please let Harold and Nick be all right... Where could Nick's house be? We'll try Hyrule Castle Town... So, we ride to Hyrule Castle Town...
